ORIO - Wire and Tube Collector

Check out this wire and tube collector by HugoDesign found whilst researching the culture of Norwegian Design.

This image is taken from Inora where more information on the product can be found.

Basically this product holds and organises every tube and wire going to and from patients in a hospital environment. The largest hole is flexible enough to attach round most poles in the patients room.Each of the other holes hold some kind of tube or wire to avoid kinking, entanglement and mix up which could lead to the wrong administration of medicines.

Seeing anyone in hospital with what looks like hundreds of wires leading to and from their body is an uneasy sight and this product gives some visible structure to the system to ease both nurses, doctors and most importantly the patients family.

The ORIO has won two prestigious awards:

• Red Dot Design Award
• Award for Design Excellence, Norwegian Design Council

I'm really excited about this product I think it's a really well designed simple solution to a serious problem.Hopefully looking to take this product and develop a business plan focussing on the financial side for an economics class. Keep an eye out for future updates.
