This competition does not cover the purchase of any solution although we may choose to investigate and explore innovative procurement routes as part of this challenge.\nThe total funding available for the competition can change. The funders have the right to:\nadjust the provisional funding allocation; and\napply a ‘portfolio’ approach.\nBriefing Event\nA briefing event was held on 30 November 2022 and the recording of the event can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/W9MAdAazSeE Additional information: Further information\nFor more information on this competition, visit: Simply Do\nFor any enquiries about this competition e-mail: SBRI.COE@wales.nhs.uk"

    "description": "Ear surgery has been performed using an operating microscope since the 1950s, but improvements in endoscope and video technology have made Endoscopic Ear Surgery (EES) a viable alternative.  An ear endoscope for EES allows doctors to perform complex operations on the tiny, delicate structures in the middle ear. This method is less invasive than the traditional way to perform an ear surgery, which is to make an incision behind the ear. The doctor then uses a straight endoscope to see into the ear.\nEES procedures last on average for 60 to 90 minutes, but can be as long as 180 minutes. These prolonged periods of holding the endoscope up, whilst performing very fine, controlled movements with the instruments within a very small, delicate organ causes significant musculoskeletal stress. It is possible that these conditions, which are particular to EES, are related to the higher levels of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) in otological surgeons.\nReducing the musculoskeletal load through better work practices could reduce the time taken for surgery, reduce staff levels of MSDs and associated sickness, thereby improving workflow. They may also increase the number of operations possible and reduce the time under anaesthesia for patients.\nChallenge details\nWe are looking to identify, develop and demonstrate near market ready innovative solutions that could:\nImprove ergonomics for surgeons ensuring equality and benefits for all;\nImprove ergonomics for both right and left handed surgeons, when performing surgery;\nReduce time spent holding an unsupported endoscope during EES;\nReduce surgery times;\nReduce MSDs in ENT surgeons;\nReduce sickness of ENT surgeons;\nImprove self-reported discomfort levels of ENT surgeons after performing EES;\nMeet infection prevention control standards; and\nProvide a cost effective and sustainable solution.\nOut of Scope\nReplacement of current endoscope equipment or theatre beds;\nSingle use solutions.\nWe need ideas that can be rapidly developed and tested with potential to be scaled and used across the UK over the coming months",
