This conceptual Children's Needle Cover has been designed by James Dickson as a way to help make the process of vaccinations less intimidating for young kids. The covers maintain a 3D-printed construction that are imagined in the shape of an airplane and a butterfly, which conceals the needle within and makes the equipment appear less daunting for young patients to see. The cover can even be removed from the needle to be given to the patient after use as a fun memento of the experience.
The conceptual Children's Needle Cover identifies what can be done to make inoculations an easier experience for both children and healthcare professionals without the need to make any major changes to the process.
