These are not complicated and should be easy to construct, especially with good documentation...

"CPAP, BIPAP, or Hi-Flo oxygen NIV are all out. These systems aerosolize the virus making it almost guaranteed that anyone around them will get infected.
What we need is a Nasal cannula-based NIV. This system humidifies air, mixes it with oxygen and then pushes a constant stream of it into people’s lungs. If we can design a simple and working system we can give those plans to factories around the globe and get these things made. If the factories fail us, let’s also have a version people can make at home."
Not sure whether this is completely relevant to the PPH-PPE project, but it seemed the most appropriate. Also, not familiar with this technology area, so opinions on this issue would be welcome.https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/pub/coronavirus/pph-ppe/-/issues/1The Neck Juncture2020-03-20T19:43:57ZAlfonso Parra Rubioalfonso.parra@cba.mit.eduThe Neck JunctureCould it be a nice solution to cast a shape like this in dragon skin silicon? It is elastic, it will adapt to any surface and kind of sticky to avoid leakages? Just a thought
