FOUR Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) engineering students are making nebuliser spacers using 3D-printed parts and plastic bottles to support the medical frontliners in their fight against Covid-19.

Lim Kai Wen, who founded Kon10Innovation, the start-up enterprise that creates the spacer (an external device attached to a nebuliser for better drug delivery), said together with his team they came to know about the need for the item at hospitals and wanted to use their time to help out.
