SHIL Award Nominees 2012 |
|
For the 7th consecutive year, projects from the NHS Scotland have been shortlisted for a prestigious Scottish Health Innovations Ltd Award for best innovation originating from NHS Scotland. The winner will be announced at the Scottish Enterprise Life Sciences Annual Dinner at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre on the 9th of February. The Nominees are; Novel device for Monitoring of Ischaemia - Professor Alan Johnstone, NHS Grampian. This is a novel technique for identifying the earliest signs of tissue damage. The innovative product will alert the surgeon during an operation that there is a lack of oxygen getting to the tissue, thus preventing further tissue damage which can lead to amputation and even death.
Air Trap Device - Dr Graham Bell from NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
Known as Air Free, this device will prevent air entrainment or embolisms occurring in intravenous drips. This increases patient safety by reducing interruptions to infusions, disconnections of IV lines, and the potential for air embolism.
Prosthetic Disc Nucleus - Professor Douglas Wardlaw from NHS Grampian. This innovation for the treatment of back pain will be performed by minimally invasive surgery. This will enable the patient to leave the hospital the day after surgery, rather than the current five day stay. The product returns a normal pain free range of movement to the patient.. |
