MUBAS Student Develops Low-Cost Compression Therapy Device
A fifth-year Biomedical Engineering student at the Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences (MUBAS), Ranken Chinsambi, has developed an innovative and affordable compression therapy device designed to improve blood circulation.
Speaking to local media on Sunday,Chinsambi,said the device is aimed at assisting individuals with blood circulation challenges by enhancing blood flow in the legs and preventing swelling, blood clots, and pain.
He explained that the device works by gently squeezing the leg or arm through an air cuff that inflates and deflates, mimicking a massage to help push blood back toward the heart.
Chinsambi emphasized that the device is designed to be both affordable and portable, making it accessible to many Malawians.
He added that innovations like this can help reduce the country’s dependence on costly imported medical equipment.
He also urged fellow young people to focus on creativity and innovation rather than complaining about challenges.
“Instead of focusing on problems, let’s use our skills and technology to find solutions that can change lives,” he said.
At just 22 years old, Chinsambi has already developed several notable innovations, including the Neo Smart Baby Incubator, a Heart Monitoring Device, and a Smart Car Parking System, among others.
