Health care workers around the world are asking for help.

They’re in desperate need of more PPE, also known as

disappearing during the coronavirus pandemic.

Doctors say they are rationing gloves, reusing masks

The C.D.C. has even said that scarves or bandannas

can be used as protection as a last resort.

“I’ve met the doctors, and talked with them every day.

I think there’s an interesting challenge

The cries for help are mobilizing a wide range

of innovators, some of them even joining forces

through online messaging platforms like Slack.

These are engineers, doctors and even high school students

“It’s amazing because no one’s asking

They’re pitching in by crowdsourcing designs

for masks, face shields and even ventilators

that could be reproduced around the world.

He’s an active player in one of the maker groups.

Now, he’s designing replicable face masks.

“We’re focused on three products: a face shield,

a cloth mask and an alternative to N95-rated respirators.

The face shield is the first line of defense

If a patient coughs, it’ll hit the face shield

Even some university labs are experimenting

with open-source designs from the internet

“My lab works in the area of frugal science,

and we build low-cost tools for resource-limited areas.

And now, we’ve realized that I don’t have to go that far.

would get out from a 2-liter Coke or a soda bottle.

I actually bought this from an art store.

It’s just sheets of PET, so we can cut these out.

We are calling this an origami face shield,

There are multiple different prototypes.”

“This headband can be reused, and a doctor or nurse

that they go through close to 2,000 of these a day.”

that someone made at home on a laser cutter or a 3-D printer,

and then get it in the hands of thousands of doctors

They’re working with mass manufacturers that

can take their tested designs, and replicate them

to a number of suppliers, material suppliers.

So I think one of the neat things that we’ve done

is not only the design, proving that you can make it rapidly,

but then also trying to secure the entire supply chains.”

This is Dr. Susan Gunn, whose hospital system

in New Orleans has even started its own initiative

And then we make sure that it’s professional-grade first.

Dr. Gunn says the gear is a safe alternative

for those who might otherwise face a shortage.
