A New Anesthesia Mask Design

Humanity has struggled with epidemics from the past to the present. All have similar problems, such as infection rates, prevention methods, and supply problems. Today, we are grappling with the problems we have witnessed during the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of this study, protective and therapeutic masks, which are the products that people of all ages and physical characteristics interact with most during the pandemic period, were examined. A conceptual design for an original anesthesia mask was developed based on the data obtained in this study, using the systematic design approach. User experience theories and applications were used to understand the interaction and reflect it in the new design. This stage is based on a systematic design approach. The optimum design option was then used to create a embodiment design for the mask. The materials and properties suitable for prototyping to be used by modelling in three dimensions in the computer environment were determined and prepared by the working functions of the system. By preparing the usage scenario of the product, the amount of air escape was reduced compared to that in the market. The design process has been completed so that it provides a more harmonious closure with the facial features and helps to reduce the errors that occur during the treatment process with the ergonomic grip of healthcare professionals.
