Hanna Took Her Interests & Helped Create Solar Autoclave
June 17, 2008

Leaving for college, Lori Hanna had a focus on math and science along with a desire to make a difference in the world.
Less than four years later, that trio of interests coalesced into the Wadsworth native’s refinement of a solar-powered autoclave providing a way for third-world communities lacking electricity to sterilize surgical instruments. The development will allow rural surgeons with limited surgical tools to perform more operations instead of turning away the needy for want of sterile equipment.
