An aeromedical litter redesign for BMED 2310 class project. This was my first real introduction to medical device development. Ultimately, the solution we developed was built on fairly shoddy assumptions. The litter did hold up to snuff in preliminary verification testing. The primary concept was combining elements of a stoke's litter and a SKED. The litter itself was designed in Solidworks and then cut out of a sheet of polyethelen using a water-jet in the Georgia Tech Invention Studio.

Estimated Building Cost: $80.00
