Bringing safe surgery to patients everywhere: The @dlab_mit-supported startup SurgiBox has developed a portable kit that doctors can use to create sterile operating environments where they’re needed most. mitsha.re/8Y5w50Ox2Li
ALT A doctor works on a patient using the SurgiBox. The Surgibox is made of translucent material that covers the patient’s body, with holes for the doctor’s gloved hands. A white and red box is next to the patient and inflates the bubble.
