ECG Limb Lead - improved connector

thingiverse

An ECG machine is a common piece of equipment in hospitals, giving doctors a visual trace of the electrical signals from a patient's heart. To read these signals, sensors are attached to the patients's ankles and wrists using an ECG limb lead, which uses a plastic clamp to secure the sensor to the desired part of the body. This part had been printed and tested in Nepal, where a group of doctors were becoming frustrated with a poor design of ECG limb lead, where the plastic clamp kept falling apart. This was due to a connector between the two halves of the clamp which did not fit correctly. Here is our improved design, which forms a very snug fit. Thank you to Humanitarian Makers, Tho X. Bui and Ross Michaels, for their contributions to this design. Print Settings Printer Brand: Up! Printer: Up Plus2 Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.1 - 0.3 Infill: Solid is best Notes: Please be sure to print this in the orientation shown in the picture, ie. so each layer you print is a complete U-shape. A small amount of support material is used for the parts of this design which 'snap' into the 2 halves of the plastic clamp.
