Most of the people rescued from the disaster must be prescribed fluids while being transported to a treatment facilities. However, since the existing method uses gravity, the height difference must be ensured. Therefore, someone close to the patient, usually a rescuer, must continue holding the IV pack for 30 min to an hour. Due to the harsh environment, it is difficult to move around with IV pack being held. So, we thought that existing intravenous injection method using gravity is not suitable for emergency situations. we would like to propose 'The Golden Capsule', non-powered medicine-injection device for emergency rescuers dispatched to disaster sites. The device consists of a transparent shell and a medicine-filled balloon. The golden capsule is a non-powered, so it can be useful in outdoor situations. It does not require gravity or electricity. Instead, it uses elastic force and air pressure difference rather than gravity. It can inject medicine at a uniform speed for 30 min to 1 hour, that required to transport the patient. In addition, the rescuers can adjust the injection speed in almost the same way as that of the existing product. Owing to powerful elastic force, the golden capsule can easily reach full-drip speed, required in emergency situations frequently. Therefore, the medical team do not need to squeeze the pack manually by hand to get faster inject speed. Finally, it can optimise work efficiency for rescuers because it can be easily fixed to the belt of a stretcher.
