Cute Hospital Disposables

Teddy Bear Blood Bag Puts Young Patients at Ease

— January 10, 2009 — Unique
Dunne and Raby’s Teddy Bear Blood Bag isn’t exactly the typical hospital purchase. However, it does serve its primary function well, and would actually make a perfect fit in a children's hospital or the pediatric wing of a health care facility.

Dunne and Raby are a London-based design team comprised of Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby. According to their website, the duo use design "as a medium to stimulate discussion and debate amongst designers, industry and the public about the social, cultural and ethical implications of existing and emerging technologies."

This Teddy Bear Blood Bag certainly does inspire discussion--is this bear morbid, or charming?
Trend Themes
1. Hospital Design - Designers can develop hospital disposables that are both functional and visually engaging -- such as Dunne and Raby’s Teddy Bear Blood Bag.
2. Pediatric Medical Equipment - Designers can innovate in pediatric medical equipment development to improve child health and comfort - this can include disposable items as well.
3. Child-friendly Medical Treatment - Medical entities such as hospitals and clinics can promote child-friendly treatment by incorporating fun and creative items such as Dunne and Raby’s Teddy Bear Blood Bag.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - The healthcare industry can utilize creative designs for disposables to build patient confidence and provide a comfortable environment for young patients.
2. Pediatric Hospitals - Pediatric hospitals and healthcare facilities can seize the opportunity to improve the pediatric experience by integrating fun and creative items such as Teddy Bear Blood Bags and other disposables.
3. Medical Device Manufacturers - Medical device manufacturers can create child-friendly medical equipment to encourage better patient compliance and promote a child-centered hospital environment.
