Medical Devices
About This Innovation
* Blount invented a disposable kidney-shaped disposable cardboard dish made out of flour, water, and newspaper that was baked until the material was hard * The concave shape of the small basin fits into the curves of a human body * By making it disposable, the danger of passing infections from one patient to another was eliminated * U.S. Veterans Affairs (VA) showed no interest in Blount's invention so she sold the rights to her invention to a company in Belgium.
