S1E125 - Distributed Medical Device Manufacturing on Anarchist Manufacturing & 3D Printed Tourniquets

Episode Summary This week on Live Like the World is Dying, Inmn talks to Mike and Alex from Distributed Medical Device Manufacturing about the role of anarchists in manufacturing and their work manufacturing medical devices, and specifically, about their work manufacturing tourniquets with 3D printers and industrial sewing machines. Guest Info Find Distributed Medical Device Manufacturing (DMDM) at DMDM.icu or support their funding campaign on Give Butter at https://givebutter.com/pqygLj DMDM is a small non-profit based in Tucson, Arizona, USA. We formed as an offshoot of MADR in order to begin exploring how regulatory compliant aid can be manufactured outside the existing profit driven, hierarchical medical device manufacturing industry. Our mission is to make high quality, FDA compliant CAT style tourniquets based on the GLIA design to ensure our communities have access to life saving supplies in the event of trauma events and supply chain breakdowns.
