DTR Medical, in partnership with MediWales, bring you a webinar focused around the importance of the continuation of Nasendoscopy procedures during the pandemic, and how the SNAP, Endoscope Guide, will enable these to continue throughout the Coronavirus pandemic. The SNAP device won the 2020 MediWales Innovation Award for industry partnership with the NHS.

COVID-19 has heavily affected all our lives and how our health service is able to treat patients. In 2018, about 500,000 Nasendoscopies were performed in the UK, however, figures during the first peak of COVID-19 suggested that only 8% of these were able to take place.

There is a large risk to both ENT Surgeons and Speech & Language Therapists whilst carrying out a Nasendoscopy procedure and the Clinician is at significantly higher levels of contracting COVID-19. The SNAP, Endoscope Guide aims to provide better safety and care for both the Patient and Clinician.

The device ensures safe passage of a Nasendoscopy through a Surgical Mask, creating an aperture for the Endoscope to pass through into the Nasal Cavity. This meaning that any coughs, splutters, or sneezes throughout the procedure are caught in the Mask, which is easily disposed of after use.

DTR Medical and endoscope-i have collaborated in the development of the essential product and helping to bring it to market. This innovative device will enable ENT Clinicians and Speech & Language Therapists to return to Nasendoscopies. This procedure is critical in the diagnosis of Head and Neck Cancer, by reducing COVID-19 risks for the healthcare professional.

Sign-ups before Wednesday 10^th February 2021 will receive a free SNAP sample for the webinar[1].
