BERHAMPUR: The government-run Industrial Training Institute (ITI) has developed a trolley-cum-lifter to carry oxygen cylinders near the beds of Covid patients in hospitals. “It can easily transport oxygen cylinders up to 160 kg in weight,” said ITI principal Rajat Kumar Panigrahy.
Transportation of oxygen from production units to the hospital involves various logistical issues. After the cylinders are transported to hospitals and Covid care facilities, these are manually shifted. “In order to address this issue and to carry oxygen cylinders to patients safely and quickly, we have developed the trolley-cum-lifter,” Panigrahy added. “We are ready to supply this to Covid hospitals,” he said
