July is Medical Innovation Month?!
The National Museum of Health and Medicine has a wealth of displays and information on incredible tools and innovative products that have helped save and give life! (We’re all about that!!)😉
July is , and our museum holds thousands of objects related to innovation.
One of these items, featured in our Continuum of Care exhibit in the Innovations in Military Medicine Gallery, is called a Special Medical Emergency Evacuation Device (SMEED).
This innovation provides a singular, secure platform for patient monitors, infusion pumps, ventilators, and similar equipment. It can be attached to a NATO litter before evacuation and is approved for inflight use aboard aircraft.
