Medspray focuses on innovative applications of spray nozzles. An example is the delivery of medicine to the lungs in aerosol form. While the spray nozzles result in a very fine aerosol, aerodynamic forces cause droplet collisions within this aerosol. The larger particles this creates hinder the delivery of the medicine to the lungs. The internship focused on researching a novel solution to this problem using the flow surrounding the spray.

During this research prototypes were printed and tested using the facilities and expertise available at Medspray. Medspray proved to be an encouraging and enthusiastic environment for research, regardless of immediate results. The intern was treated as an integral part of the process and was offered both space and support as needed. The facilities like the laboratory provided an opportunity for practical research. All in all, Medspray proved to be an excellent work environment with friendly and helpful coworkers.
