3rd year visualise paper.
Cad Paper.
This paper required us to design something related to medical products. I Chose to design something related to K9's. After looking into K9 related medical products I wanted to design something that would replace the e-collar (cone of shame). The cone it self restricts Hearing and vision for the dog.
I have designed a vest that does not restrict the hearing/vision of the dog, while still protecting the wound and restricting the dogs movements so that the dog itself cannot impregnate the wound.
