Minimalist Stand Design for Glass Ampoule

Contest Brief

I'm in need of a professional who can design a small, minimalist stand that can securely hold a glass ampoule upside down. The purpose of this stand is to facilitate the drawing of liquid into an insulin syringe.

The current problem is that when people manually inject (using liquid from a glass ampoule) into an insulin syringe, the needle part is not long enough to draw the liquid from the top up. When you turn the glass ampoule upside down, the gravity and air stop the liquid coming out and you can draw the liquid into the syringe from the bottom and the liquid just drops down as it fills the syringe.

Right now, we achieve this by using sticky tap on a plastic container. I thought such a product should exist, but just can't find one, so I want to make one (for my own use) and then see if other people who have the same challenge could use this product over time.

Key aspects of the project:
- Material: The stand should be designed to be made from either plastic or metal (needs to be strong but also not too expensive to make - plastic or aluminium seem the ideal choice). The choice of material can depend on what you think would be more suitable for the stand's durability and cost-effectiveness.
- Environment: The stand will primarily be used in a home or a medical facility. Therefore, it should be designed with safety and ease of use in mind.
- Design: The overall design of the stand should be minimalist. While the stand needs to be functional, it should also have an aesthetic simplicity that makes it appealing to use.

Ideal skills for this job include product design, knowledge of suitable materials, and a good understanding of minimalist design principles. Experience in designing medical or home-use devices will be a plus.

This is a work for hire agreement, meaning we are hiring you to design but retain the rights to the end product images. We also need then in 3D, front, back and side images too.

When you bid for this project, please say "Glass Ampoule Holder Solved" at the start of your bid so we know you bothered to read what we are trying to do. All automated bids will be filtered.

We look forward to working with you soon. We can also do a video of the makeshift method we do now, so you can see the problem we are trying to solve if our description is not enough.
