Grow Hot-water Bag

Grow Hot-water Bag

Grow Hot-water Bag is an innovative medical device and therapeutic product that revolutionizes the traditional hot water bottle design through its adaptable and safety-focused features. This ergonomically designed heating solution, created by Turkish designer Tahsin Emre Eke, addresses several key limitations of conventional hot water bottles by incorporating a unique foldable structure that enables superior body conformity and application versatility. The design's distinguishing characteristic lies in its handle-integrated filling system, which significantly reduces the risk of accidental burns during the water filling process - a common concern with traditional hot water bottles as highlighted by burn prevention research. Manufactured using PP/EPDM thermoplastic material through plastic injection molding, the product measures 170mm x 20mm x 450mm and demonstrates exceptional durability and heat retention properties. The design's innovative approach to user safety and comfort earned recognition with a Bronze A' Design Award in the Medical Devices and Medical Equipment Design category, acknowledging its contribution to improving therapeutic heat application methods. The product's development, which spanned from January 2014 to February 2015 in Istanbul, resulted in a self-supporting structure that eliminates the need for constant manual positioning, allowing for hands-free operation and enhanced user comfort during therapeutic sessions. This thoughtful redesign addresses critical safety concerns identified in medical research, particularly regarding burn risks associated with traditional hot water bottles, while maintaining efficient heat delivery for therapeutic purposes.
