Zero Gravity Surgical Workstation (0GSW) Operationsbord för kirurgi i mikrogravitation.
(2007)Department of Architecture and Built Environment
- Abstract
- This master thesis was performed at Architecture and Development Studies at Faculty of Engineering (LTH), Lund University. It is a collaboration with NASA at Johnson Space Center (JSC), Houston and Lund University Hospital with the objective of making an operating table for long term missions like Mars explorations. The Zero Gravity Surgical Workstation (0GSW) is an operating table designed to manage medical traumas in a microgravity environment. It is a part of a contingency plan to enable future interplanetary missions where medical events need to be handled on spot without any support from Earth.

The Zero Gravity Surgical Workstation (0GSW) is an operating table designed to manage medical traumas in a microgravity environment. It is a part of a contingency plan to enable future interplanetary missions where medical events need to be handled on spot without any support from Earth.
Industrial Design is often associated with compelling aesthetics of products produced in large numbers. It is a tool to improve competitiveness and to promote the company brand, but there is also a wider aspect of industrial design. The 0GSW is neither a consumer product with a focus on styling, nor is it intended for a large scale production. The aim has been to provide an innovative solution with user centred qualities for surgery in deep space. It deals with an environment in which the design is the consequence of the microgravity and the limited space on board spacecrafts. (Less)
