Satisfy the demand for an innovative medical device that can provide a comprehensive first aid remedy for superficial wounds along with a user-friendly design for people who may lack clinical experience. The SprAid will become a universal tool in the sense of convenience, cost efficiency, durability and reliability to the everyday worker and household family. The focus of the project will include the mechanical design of a spray apparatus without the need of an external power source. The device will be designed to maintain a strict level of efficiency that can be carried out and operated with ease. The spray apparatus will be fabricated to fit conveniently within the pocket holder of a water belt or a holster. The SprAid includes individual cartridges containing an antiseptic combined with a local anesthetic, a hemostatic agent, and a thermoregulator to protect the wound and encourage re-epithelialization. The SprAid apparatus will combine a convenient method for spraying therapeutic agents using a three-port manifold system, disposable cartridges, and a rotating nozzle head to deliver a fast acting treatment.
