The Design

About Spoon Test de Embarazo

Spoon é un test de embarazo dun só uso deseñado para uso doméstico. A forma inspírase nunha culler, con pequenas formas suaves e unha superficie máis ancha na zona do mango. Todos os bordos son redondeados para ofrecer un aspecto amigable, xa que o test úsase nun momento privado e emotivo. A zona de agarre está inclinada e ampliada para mellorar a ergonomía e o uso intuitivo. Spoon mide 130 x 25 x 10 milímetros e pesa 14 gramos. O corpo está fabricado en bioplástico inxectado para reducir a pegada de carbono, e o grosor de cada compoñente está calibrado para aforrar material.
