Anesthesia Workspace Cleanliness and Safety: Implementation of a Novel Syringe Bracket Using 3D Printing Techniques

Figure 2

Serial syringe bracket designs based on iterative prototyping and user feedback: (a) initial prototype, (b) elevation of main surface to provide further clearance from anesthesia machine display, (c) alternative slot configuration using flange to hold syringe and allow front-loading and unloading, (d) corner-mounted design including holders for unopened medication vials and a bougie, (e) anterior extension of main surface to provide further clearance from machines with mounted depth of anesthesia monitors, (f) final design with wider support clip for increased stability. A detailed review of the rationale and utility of each of these design features is provided in Supplementary Table 2.
