Problem Statement

People could suffer minor injuries during outdoor activities, such as cuts, bleeding, and scrapes. These outdoor injuries often worsen if not treated promptly, leading to secondary infections and increased external irritation.

Inspired by spray guns and spray-on dressings, this device is designed for large, wide wounds sustained outdoors.

It immediately disinfects the injury while (or: and) simultaneously applying a medicated artificial membrane to seal the area and prevent secondary infection.

Design Concept

The Healing Gun is a spray-based First-Aid Kit created for rapid injury treatment during outdoor activities. Drawing inspiration from spray-on dressings, it allows users to act quickly, even on sizable wounds. The device sprays disinfectant and medication while forming a delicate Silk membrane over the injury. This membrane effectively seals the wound from external contaminants instantly, reducing the risk of secondary infection and shielding it from further irritation.
