InventX

Urjit Bhavsar, Karishma Batra and Krutarth Patel won the 1st prize at InventX held at IIT Jammu for developing the “Syringe with a Retractable Needle”, an innovative syringe designed to prevent accidental needle-stick injuries during recapping and disposal. By allowing the needle to retract safely into the barrel after use, the device significantly reduces the risk of transmitting infections such as HIV and Hepatitis.

Abhinav, Ujjwal and Priyanka won the 2nd prize at InventX held at IIT Jammu for developing the “Anti Snag Zip System”, a redesigned zipper mechanism that addresses zipper entrapment injuries in children while improving overall zipper performance. The solution incorporates a bulbous-geometry zipper slider handle that prevents fabric snags and enhances safety and functionality.

Saloni Morbale, Dev Vora and Jatin Saini won the 3rd prize at InventX held at IIT Jammu for developing the “Sleep Compatible Jet Nebulizer”, a redesigned jet nebulizer that enables effective aerosol delivery even when tilted during use. The solution improves liquid delivery while preserving the existing atomization system, eliminating the need for costly redesigns or revalidation of the nozzle and vaporizer head.

Ihsaan K S, Shreyansh Jain and Ritik Gupta won the 1st prize at the InventX program at IIT Gandhinagar for developing the “Wearable Dog Deterrent Device”, a fully automated, child-friendly wearable designed to protect children from aggressive stray dog attacks. The device features dynamic frequency adjustment and 360-degree coverage, providing an effective and hands-free safety solution.

Priya Kyal, Khushi Singh and Daksh Beniwal won the 2nd prize at InventX held at IIT Gandhinagar for developing “Snake Bite First Aid”, an automated first-aid device designed to reduce fatalities caused by snakebites. The system immobilizes the affected limb and applies the recommended pressure of 40–70 mmHg during transit to the hospital, enabling timely and effective pre-hospital care.

Harnoor, Ujjwal and Rishabh won the 3rd prize at  InventX held at IIT Gandhinagar for developing the “Fish Storage Box for Fish Hold”, an insulated storage solution designed to reduce fish spoilage and improve food security and economic resilience. Built with a sustainable natural-fiber core between two food-grade panels, the box features an inclined tray and drainage system that minimizes crush pressure and removes meltwater to extend the shelf life of the catch.
