A simple wine cork trick sparked a life-saving idea.

With no medical training, Jorge Odón imagined a gentler way to help babies safely into the world. His invention—a soft sleeve with an inflatable cuff—guides birth with care, not force. Designed to reduce risk where resources are limited, it shows how curiosity can cross boundaries.

This story reminds us: breakthroughs don’t always start in labs. Sometimes, compassion plus imagination can change lives—one birth at a time.
