Improving the Patient and Caregiver Experience

Throughout the design process, Slingshot focused on both the patient and the caregiver to create a design that facilitates and eases the experience for both. A Key focus was the exposure of caregivers to patient waste. To combat this, Slingshot designed a simple, self-sealing system for both the bag and the tube.
