Ukrainian startup to 3D print parts for ventilators used for COVID-19 patients

By The Kyiv Post / March 20, 2020

Revel Lab, a startup from Odesa in Southern Ukraine, is developing a model to 3D-print valves for ventilators used to support the novel coronavirus patients, who are physically unable to breathe.

The company was inspired by their counterparts in Italy, Isinnova startup that produces valves that allow connecting two patients to a ventilator at the same time.

Now that COVID-19 started spreading throughout Ukraine, Revel Laboratory is hoping to produce such life-saving machine parts for local hospitals.
