  • KPU Instructors Produce 'Ear Savers' for Local Hospital
    KPU Instructors produce ‘ear savers’ for local hospital The images are all over social media. Doctors and nurses wearing masks for prolonged periods of time during the COVID-19 pandemic, with one of the results being pain and discomfort around the ears. To help ease some of that pain, instructors at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) have produced 1,000 “ear savers” for healthcare professionals at Vancouver General Hospital. “The idea with these straps is that the masks are just held around the head,” says Victor Martinez, a product design instructor at KPU’s Wilson School of Design. This relieves pressure on healthcare workers’ ears. Martinez and a group of KPU faculty and students are using 3D printers to produce the ear savers – adhering to proper physical distancing measures as they work. The printers are running about 15 hours a day. The ear savers attach the mask straps that would otherwise go around the ears to small notches on the plastic devices, which then wraps around the head easing the discomfort behind the ears. This small project is part of a wider global commitment to responding to issues and concerns about personal protective equipment (PPE) for workers on the front line of the pandemic. “Victor has been diligently and tirelessly working on possible PPE solutions since the initial need was first announced,” says Andhra Goundrey, dean of the Wilson School of Design. While balancing the transition to online teaching and finishing the spring semester remotely, Martinez worked with an existing design to create the straps. Given his background in design and 3D printing, he wanted to do something to help front line workers.
