Space suit for Bubble Baby aims to end isolation
David, a five year old SCID patient born in 1971, may soon receive a specially designed Mobile Biological Isolation System suit from Johnson Space Center and Texas Children's Hospital. The rubberized spacesuit with a transporter ventilator creates a mobile sterile zone for brief outside excursions. Delivery to Texas Children's Hospital is planned for December under federal funding, allowing David to spend time beyond his plastic bubble within a ten foot radius of air supply.
