The project began as an early-stage concept for a disposable video laryngoscope with an added self-cleaning mechanism to reduce cross-contamination during intubation.

The client needed a design that:

• Supported safe and hygienic clinical use

• Integrated a self-cleaning function without adding complexity

• Was suitable for single-use medical environments

• Could be manufactured and assembled at scale

At the start, the concept lacked a defined mechanical structure, validated self-cleaning approach, and a manufacturable assembly strategy.

I transformed the concept into a complete, production-ready mechanical design with self-cleaning functionality integrated into the core architecture.

My contribution included:

• Designing the overall product structure around the self-cleaning mechanism

• Developing blade geometry that supports cleaning and safe intubation

• Integrating space and mounting features for the camera and electronics

• Ensuring the self-cleaning function remained reliable and intuitive

• Optimizing all parts for injection molding and assembly

• Refining tolerances and interfaces for dependable single-use performance

The final design delivers a self-cleaning disposable laryngoscope that prioritizes hygiene, safety, and manufacturability.

The result:

• Reduces contamination risk during clinical procedures

• Maintains a familiar, ergonomic form factor

• Uses simple mechanical solutions to support self-cleaning

• Meets the client’s requirements for cost-effective production
