THE UNIVERSAL WRENCH

I
Engineered for high-leverage grip on Baxter PD dialysis tubing connectors. Eliminates tight finger twisting requirements for patients with neuropathy or limited hand strength.
• Material: PETG / Tough PLA • Infill: 35% Gyroid • Supports: None required
II
STATIC 3MF

THE LEVERAGE PLIERS

II
A heavy-duty non-parametric hinged tool providing maximum mechanical advantage when gripping resistant dialysis caps and line locks.

💡 Post-Processing Grip Tip: Once printed, apply a thin layer of hot glue to the inner ridges/teeth. Hot glue deforms slightly under pressure while staying firm, creating an ultra-grippy high-friction surface that won't slip or scratch delicate plastic caps.
• File: static print profile (`pliers.3mf`) • Material: PETG / Tough PLA • Grip Modification: Hot glue teeth lining

CAP & SOCKET WRENCHES

III
Specialized socket attachments designed to securely enclose mini-caps and disconnect valves without puncturing fragile tubing lines.
• Socket Wrench STL included • Funnel Wrench STL included • Fits standard Baxter PD sets

TACTILE ACCESS KNOBS RESEARCH

Working directly with clients to solve real-world dexterity limitations for these peritoneal dialysis wrenches led directly to our research paper on Parametric Tactile Access Knobs (currently under peer review).
