Medication-Pumping Purses

The ON-Q Carry Bag Delivers Doses of Painkillers to Post-Op Patients

— May 9, 2013 — Lifestyle
Some patients have been known to decline after surgery, arguably because of the unsatisfactory atmosphere experienced when they've been kept in a hospital room for too long. The ON-Q Carry Bag is cutting-edge clinical device that might enable people to return home much sooner after surgeries.

Designer Daniel To has conceived a driver that contains pain management medication in a flexible pouch. A tube escapes from the bladder and runs into an intravenous system, directly delivering prescribed doses of drugs to the wearer. The great thing about this post-operative accessory is that it leaves you free to go about your usual business, or simply to rest and recover without all of the bothersome machinery about you. The ON-Q Carry Bag conforms to the shape of your body, it fastens to your shoulder or waist and it's quite comfortable.
Trend Themes
1. Post-op Home Recovery - The trend of developing innovative devices and solutions for patients to recover at home after surgeries, such as the ON-Q Carry Bag, presents opportunities for improving patient comfort and reducing healthcare costs.
2. Personalized Drug Delivery - The trend of creating personalized drug delivery systems, like the ON-Q Carry Bag's intravenous system, provides opportunities for precise and targeted medication administration, enhancing patient outcomes.
3. Discreet Medical Accessories - The trend of designing medical accessories that blend into everyday life, exemplified by the ON-Q Carry Bag's inconspicuous design, opens up opportunities for patients to maintain their normal routines while managing their health.
Industry Implications
1. Medical Devices - The medical device industry has the potential to disrupt traditional post-operative care by developing innovative products like the ON-Q Carry Bag that improve patient experience and recovery.
2. Pharmaceuticals - The pharmaceutical industry can capitalize on the trend of personalized drug delivery systems, such as the intravenous system in the ON-Q Carry Bag, by developing more efficient and targeted medications.
3. Fashion and Accessories - The fashion and accessories industry can tap into the trend of discreet medical accessories like the ON-Q Carry Bag, creating fashionable and functional products that cater to the needs of individuals managing healthcare conditions.
