We introduce a low-fidelity, low-cost, reusable training model for the lateral canthotomy procedure. We believe that this trainer has the potential to improve clinicians’ knowledge and skill of the procedure, especially when cost or access to higher-fidelity trainers is prohibitive

Designing a surgical training module to train clinicians who are expected to perform open appendectomies

Review of the Arbutus Drill Cover System as a cost saving frugal innovation.

Narrative review of low cost surgical simulations for surgical training

Description of low cost, effective negative pressure dressing utilising ryles tube, foam, semi permeable dressing and bedside suction. Provides series of 56 patients. Very few complications. Costs between £3.30 and £7.70

Description of a low fidelity microsurgical simulation suitable for use in austere environments

Literature review for wound management strategies in low resource settings

To provide respiratory support for the high patient numbers associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare providers require resource efficient solutions. We have shown that this can be achieved through frugal engineering of a CPAP ventilation system

Validation of a porcine tissue model for simulating appendicectomies
