University: University of Glasgow
Sector(s): Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals, Engineering & Manufacturing
About Opportunity:
Medical students and practitioners are unable to practice the spinal injection procedure on cadavers, nor can they practice on patients due to the serious danger of spinal injury. Therefore when the procedure has to be carried out, there is an ever present risk of injury to the patient.
Spinal injections are commonly required procedures to remove fluid to carry out biochemical, and microbiological test and also to allow drug delivery.
The University of Glasgow has created a Spinal Injection Simulator which is essential to develop the skills of medical practitioners. This device provides accurate spine articulation, mimics human tissue properties and enables realistic touch/feel and spinal fluid removal feedback to the practitioner.
Key Benefits:
Applications:
Training aid for medical students and practioners specialising in paediatric care
IP Status:
An academic prototype device has been created and a GB patent application exists for this device:‘Medical demonstration device and method for operating a medical demonstration device’ - GB 0807830.5Contact is welcomed from organisations interested in developing, licensing or exploiting this technology with a view to commercialisation
