Design Challenge narrative
Surgical tools used in operating rooms are often handed from one person to another during an operation. Think about how this step could be a introduction point for infection. To help break this part of the chain of infection, you and your team will design a surgical tool holder that will allow the doctor to easily retrieve and replace tools during a surgical procedure. You will receive more details as you proceed through the challenge.
