Abstract:
The paper is to investigate eco-design flaws in equipments for medical simulation training and explore methods to improve. The eco-design flaws in equipments for medical simulation training were elaborated from the aspects of accessories, modules, model volumes, recycling of waste equipments, and production materials. The improved methods of the flaws were demonstrated. The designs of equipments for medical simulation training can be more environment friendly by means of getting rid of unnecessary accessories, developing replaceable modules for manikin models, curtailing volumes of equipments, recycling waste equipment and using degradable production materials. As the tendency of being environment friendly in medical equipments becomes increasingly obvious, the eco-friend merits must be considered by multi-objective optimizations in the processes of design, manufacture, and employment of equipments for medical simulation training.
