The 10-year-old girl created a very smart wound bandage
The 10-year-old Australian girl got herself a tour of NASA after she invented the sticky gauze dispenser. And more admirable is that she invented it while undergoing chemotherapy for cancer treatment.
It is Bridgette Veneris from Melbourne, winning the first prize in the littleBIGidea contest with a very simple product: a sticky bandage system that works mechanically. She has now been named one of Australia's best young inventors.
"I feel so great, I never thought I would be able to receive that award," said Bridgette.
Bridgette Veneris girl is introducing how the gauze system works.
This idea came to me when I was diagnosed with leukemia last year. During the 18-month period of chemotherapy, she saw how hard doctors and nurses were able to bandage the patient.
And those images made me think, little Bridgette decided to find a way to make the gauze bandage can be removed quickly. You can imagine this little tool like a little tape with how a tape measure works, except that it is a gauze roll.
"Its casing can be completely sealed, ensuring that no dust and dirt get mixed in, so the inner bandage is affected," Bridgette said.
"I thought that, if no one did something, the difficulties in bandaging for the patient would last forever."
Winning the first prize at the littleBIGidea contest, a part of her prize will include a tour around NASA headquarters, meeting the people who created the wonders working there.
This idea of invention came to me when I was diagnosed with leukemia last year.
A 10-year-old girl with this simple but extremely effective invention will give us new inspiration, improving simple things that still exist around us.
