Lynne is working on CLiKX, a handheld applicator that aims to insert a ear tube onto the ear drum to treat glue ears. Glue ears is the most common reason why children worldwide require surgery under general anesthesia (GA), and why they are prescribed antibiotics. Her team is thankful for the rock-solid support from SGI, and crazy-excited about CLiKX – CLiKX can potentially insert the tube with just a click of the finger, under one second, without GA nor expensive microscope, with less risk and cost. Millions more can be helped.
