The Novel Tracheal Dressing (NTD) has been designed to address issues surrounding dressings used for patients who have undergone a tracheostomy procedure.A tracheostomy is an opening in the neck leading directly into the trachea. It is maintained open with a hollow plastic tube connecting the external environment with the windpipe and lungs. The trachea comprises a plurality of cartilaginous rings. As a result of the structure of the trachea, removal of the cannula from the trachea leaves an opening. Typically, it takes two weeks to heal, and during this time, all expectoration by the patient passes out through this opening. Unfortunately, due to the lack of dressing suitable for patients and relatives to use in the community, nearly all patients stay in the hospital until the hole is closed. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of tracheostomies and the need to prevent aerosol spread is increasing.The hole left post-tracheostomy and how to dress it is a worldwide unsolved problem. Due to the lack of a simple, easy-to-store, easy-to-apply, easy-to-remove and disposable dressing, patients endure frequent dressings and interruptions, meaning they cannot be sent home in a timely manner.At present, there is no dressing adopted for routine use anywhere. As a consequence of this, nurses are making bespoke dressings from scratch. These dressings are time-consuming and frequently changed, making care flow complex, expensive, and uncomfortable for patients. However, our GB patented innovation, manufactured in the UK, has proved its value through an early feasibility study in the NHS.Benefits of the NTD are numerous, to mention some:1\. Easy to store, apply and remove2\. Significant reduction in the Environmental impact3\. Reduction of the nursing time required over that needed for hand-made bespoke dressings, allowing more time for care.4\. Empowering patients and relatives to use NTD dressing in the community environment and Enabling care teams to discharge patients with open tracheostomy holes.5\. Reduction of bed blockade by early discharge, supporting waiting list reduction7\. Reducing daily visits by district nurses.Our Innovate Project will define how to scale, produce, and implement NTD in a complex, competitive, cost-defined NHS environment.This Grant will enable us to bring a UK innovation to the local communities and to the Global market.

这种新型的气管敷料(NTD)被设计用来解决围绕着接受气管切开手术的患者使用的敷料的问题。气管切开是颈部的一个开口，直接通向气管。它由一个中空的塑料管保持打开，将外部环境与气管和肺部连接起来。该气管包括多个软骨环。由于气管的结构，从气管中取出插管会留下一个开口。通常情况下，需要两周的时间才能痊愈，在此期间，患者所有的咯痰都会通过这个开口排出。遗憾的是，由于社区内缺乏适合患者和亲属使用的敷料，几乎所有患者都呆在医院里，直到洞被封闭。由于新冠肺炎的流行，气管切开术的数量和防止气雾剂传播的需要都在增加，气管切开后留下的洞以及如何填塞是一个世界性的悬而未决的问题。由于缺乏简单、易储存、易使用、易拆卸和一次性的敷料，患者经常忍受敷料和中断，这意味着他们不能被及时送回家。目前，任何地方都没有采用常规使用的敷料。因此，护士们正在从零开始制作定制的敷料。这些敷料耗费时间，而且经常更换，使护理流程复杂、昂贵，并使患者感到不舒服。然而，我们在英国制造的英国专利发明，已经通过NHS的早期可行性研究证明了它的价值。NTD的好处很多，仅举几个例子：1。易于储存、涂抹和拆卸2\。大大减少了对环境的影响。护理时间比手工定制敷料减少，有更多的护理时间。使患者和亲属能够在社区环境中使用NTD敷料，并使护理团队能够通过开放的气管切开孔出院。通过提前出院减少床位堵塞，支持减少等待名单7。减少地区护士的日常访问。我们的创新项目将定义如何在复杂、竞争、成本定义的NHS环境中扩展、生产和实施NTD。这笔赠款将使我们能够将英国的创新带到当地社区和全球市场。
