Team Nasal Endoscope is: Tom Knight, Sara Worzella, Kieran Sweeney, Adam Budde, & Leah Brandon.
Currently endoscopic sinus surgery telescopes present a fire danger in the operating room, as they can ignite paper drapes. In addition, inserting and extracting the scope from the nose frequently results in blood on the lens. This project will attempt to address both those problems with a scope caddy containing antifog, and an alar (nose) opening retractor which will reduce contamination of the scope during insertion. In addition, other ergonomic and practical improvements to this procedure will be considered, including the possibility of incorporating an irrigation system into the retractor.
