As part of the undergraduate teaching the School currently use "phantom head" which are traditional units with a mannequin which allows demonstration, procedure rehearsal and safety confirmation using a range of plastic and/or natural teeth. To further help students bridge the gap between pre-clinical and clinical training the University is looking to invest in five haptic simulators. Haptic simulators are used in a range of sectors, most notably flight simulation for training and revalidation, in dentistry they are used to provide a realistic virtual simulation offering continuous and objective feedback, validated assessment of competence and revalidation all in a high-fidelity virtual environment. One major limitation of traditional dental simulation is the ability to do things once - a single cavity preparation or single patient episode - haptic simulators allow procedure rehearsal multiple times before being carried out on a 'live' patient. The scope of the contract is for the supply, delivery, installation of 5 dental haptic simulators and operator chairs. The contract must also include training of staff as part of the installation programme. ## CPV classification Dental and subspecialty instruments and devices Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/076d0610-30f9-46c3-b0d8-bc183b10d391) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
