The high price and lack of reusability of certain devices make it hard for mothers to treat asphyxia in times of need.\n\n== Detailed description of the solution ==\n\nThe Tekno-Tube is a cheap ($8), reusable alternative to more common ($30) neonatal resuscitation devices. It consists of a long tube connected to a mask, which fits over a baby's mouth. A midwife can then blow air into the baby's mouth, providing resuscitation.\n\n== Designed by ==\n\n* Designed by: local manufacturers in Indonesia\n* Manufacturer (if different):\n* Manufacturer location: Indonesia\n\n== When and where it was tested/implemented ==\n\nIndonesia in 2005\n\n== Funding Source ==\n\n== References ==\n\n=== Peer-reviewed publication ===\n\nM.
