Burnt Kids’ Pain Lessened By Distracting Device
"Professor Bucolo said that the trademarked Ditto device is able to distract a child’s attention to help them through the painful process of having burns dressings changed, which a patient may endure several times before recovery. Professor Bucolo said Ditto was undergoing clinical trials to recognise it as a fully-fledged medical device, and it has been shown to be more effective at reducing pain scores than the traditional methods of distraction used in hospitals, such as videos and computer games."
