Training activity: 1

Details

Plan design and manufacture simple custom medical devices to support treatment of dentoalveolar fractures

Type

Entrustable training activity (ETA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee repeatedly, consistently, and effectively over time, in a range of situations. This may include occasions where the trainee has not successfully achieved the outcome of the activity themselves. For example, because it was not appropriate to undertake the task in the circumstances or the trainees recognised their own limitations and sought help or advice to ensure the activity reached an appropriate conclusion. ​

Reflection at multiple timepoints on the trainee learning journey for this activity.

Considerations

• Patient centred care and support
• Information requirements to complete the device
• Fabrication of custom medical devices and usage including the information required prior to manufacture
• Design requirements and options available for anatomical structures
• Device application in clinic and impact on the patient outcome
• Communication with the Consultant Craniofacial surgeon
• Material selection
• Manufacture protocols and device risk assessment
• Device application in clinic/theatre and
• Impact of design on patient quality of life
• Decontamination
