For the manufacture of both type of components, the company used its 3D printing technology to create the emergency valves for ventilators and several Charlotte Valves which are link-components for the emergency ventilator masks.

The company said it’s patented the Charlotte Valve, to prevent any speculation on the price of the component. They clarify that the patent will remain free to use because it is in their intention that all hospitals in need could use it if necessary. It should be noted that neither the mask nor the link is certified and their use is subject to a situation of mandatory need.

Usage by the patient is subjected to the acceptance of the use of an uncertified biomedical device, by providing a signed declaration.

The design uses three different ski-boot insoles, each one slightly higher in the front than the rear, this gives a much better fit and a bit more space for those all important piggies. The boot has a split insole and an integrated wedge which is connected with a regulator, by adjusting this regulator its possible to change the wedge into 3 different positions which also adjusts the height of the foot in the boot.

The boot’s creator, Mr Franz Egger said;

I’m a sporting goods dealer since more than 30 years and I am well aware of the questions regarding ski boots. With the innovation Easystand I wanted to find successful solutions for the manufacturer, for the sporting goods dealer and for the skier. My main aim is to bring back more skiers on the slopes.

At the ISPO Munich the 3D-printed ski boot brought home a reward in the “Ski-product” category, voted best in its class by judges made up of independent sports business professionals.
