A variable orifice spigot. A modified dennison "valve"

Area of Science:

• Biomedical Engineering
• Medical Device Development

Background:

• The Dennison-1 valve is a critical component in various medical applications.
• Existing commercial Dennison-1 valves can be expensive and may have limitations in performance or availability.

Purpose of the Study:

• To describe the design and construction of an inexpensive, "home-made" alternative to the standard Dennison-1 valve.
• To evaluate the performance and satisfaction levels of this novel valve design.

Main Methods:

• Detailed instructions for constructing a functional Dennison-1 valve using readily available materials are provided.
• Comparative analysis of the "home-made" valve against commercially available options was conducted (details not specified in abstract).

Main Results:

• The developed "home-made" Dennison-1 valve demonstrates satisfactory performance.
• Preliminary findings suggest this version is more satisfactory than currently available commercial alternatives.

Conclusions:

• An accessible and cost-effective Dennison-1 valve can be successfully created.
• This innovation offers a viable and potentially superior alternative for applications requiring the Dennison-1 valve.
