Bringing safe surgery to patients everywhere

The MIT D-Lab-supported startup SurgiBox has developed a portable kit that doctors can use to create sterile operating environments in low-resource environments. The SurgiBox system includes a bubble with armholes facing inward, a module that filters and controls air flow, and a battery. The entire thing fits inside of a backpack and can be set up in minutes.
