CHENNAI: Tvasta Manufacturing Solutions, a start-up founded by IIT Madras alumni, has collaborated with Saint-Gobain to develop a 3D-printed Doffing (an equipment for effective, safe removal and proper disposal of PPE kits) unit to protect frontline healthcare workers against Covid. Two Doffing units were unveiled earlier.

One unit was deployed at a Government Hospital in Kancheepuram, and the second one at Omandurar Medical College and Hospital, Chennai. The major advantage of a 3D-printed Doffing unit is that the time spent by construction workers to build the unit at a hospital occupied by Covid patients, will be minimal.
