This shirt is helping dialysis patients keep their dignity
Five students have created Aperta, an adaptive clothing venture designed to make treatment more comfortable for patients with medical access points.
Navena Arumugam and Teo Yan Khai, members of the student-led social enterprise Aperta, have been visiting dialysis centres to introduce their team's latest creation - the long-sleeved shirt known as Aperta Libre. The shirt features a unique design, a zipper running from mid-bicep to wrist, which enables healthcare workers to access medical points without patients having to roll up their sleeves or remove their clothing.
The innovative product was born out of the students' interactions with medical professionals who identified the struggles faced by dialysis patients.
