Shakerscope: Pioneering Medical Device Powered by ShakingAn innovative new medical device has just been brought to market that is set to transform the efficiency of medical handling in outdoor emergency situations.
The "Shakerscope" is a compact kinetically powered light source that is powered simply by shaking the device up and down.
Shaking the torch for 30 seconds provides enough energy to power its light for 10 minutes.
The revolutionary device is the first medical instrument to use kinetic energy to generate electricity, and offers a far more reliable alternative to battery operated instruments that can potentially run out, leak, or corrode their contacts.
Designed and produced in-house at leading Cardiff design and development centre PDR, Shakerscope has been deemed to have significant universal application and massive commercial potential.
Initially developed for use in ophthalmoscopes for eye examinations in developing countries, PDR has just completed work on additional interchangeable attachments to extend its usability potential.
Shakerscope can now be used in any medical situation where a bright light source is required for a limited time to inspect body cavities such as ear throat and eye examinations.
