Ligaments TRIZ Cases
- Braided silk scaffold with adjustable mechanical and degradation properties, and preparation method and use thereof
See how braided silk with collagen coating and thermal cross-linking maintains mechanical stren
- Electrostatic Sheet Jamming With Thin Dielectrics at Low Voltage
Thin dielectric layers let flexible sheets jam at voltages below air breakdown, improving safety, manufacturability, and motion resistance.
- Composite Insulator Artificial Muscle for Higher Force Output
Titanium dioxide in a layered insulator raises dielectric constant, helping an electrostatic artificial muscle deliver more force without larger size or higher voltage.
- Bioerodible Ligament Implant for Gradual Agent Release
A bioerodible core and perforated covering enable staged release of functional agents to improve ACL graft osseointegration and stability.
- Tendon Fixation Plate Structure for Fast Minimally Invasive Repair
A web-connected clamping plate speeds tendon-to-bone fixation, supports minimally invasive placement, and helps maintain blood flow.
- Medical Tissue Packaging Holder With Fluid Channels and Leak-Safe Sealing
Fluid-linked holder and inner container preserve tissue in liquid at room temperature while maintaining seal orientation and preventing leakage.
- Bone Drill Guide Alignment for Precise Femoral Tunnel Entry
A cannula and fixation tip on one mutual axis help surgeons fix the entry point, mark the exit point, and keep drilling angle accuracy.
- Gender-Specific Hernia Mesh Barrier for Nerve and Cord Protection
An oblique protective barrier on gender-specific hernia mesh prevents contact with nerves and the spermatic cord to reduce pain and adhesion.
- Quadriceps Graft Suspension Construct to Prevent Suture Pull-Through
A flat braided reinforcement and button loop assembly secures quadriceps graft fixation while preventing suture pull-through and cutting prep time.
- Angled-Spike Tendon Repair Implant for Fast Bone Reattachment
Angled spikes secure tendon to bone in one placement, reducing surgical time, tendon fraying, and bulky finger repair.
- Threaded Surgical Anchor Delivery for Non-Rotating Sequential Deployment
A threaded rod advances multiple surgical anchors without anchor rotation, cutting arthroscopic device exchanges and procedure time.
- Tissue Packaging Holder Channels for Orientation-Independent Preservation
Channels linking the holder cavity and inner container keep tissues immersed for easier transport, storage, and pre-op handling without freezer logistics.
- Decellularized Tendon Matrix Hydrogel for Growth Factor Retention
Enzymatic decellularization and lyophilization preserve over 50% of tendon growth factors in a moldable matrix for tendon repair.
- Adjustable Multi-Loop Fixation for Precise ACL Graft Tensioning
Multiple adjustable loops and a fixation plate improve ACL graft tensioning consistency while reducing slip, creep, and high-force suturing.
- Detachable Implant Frame for Precise Arthroscopic Tendon Repair
A detachable frame with attachment arms enables precise arthroscopic tendon implant placement and reinforcement while the delivery shaft is removed in vivo.
- Rotator Cuff Implant With Hydrogel Coating for Tendon-Bone Healing
A stapled humeral implant with a growth-factor hydrogel restores the tendon footprint and improves fixation and staged tendon-bone healing.
- Multiplanar Patellar Tendon Implant for Minimally Invasive Realignment
A complex ramped implant repositions the patellar tendon in multiple planes, reducing invasiveness and recovery time versus conventional surgery.
- Sheet-Like Implant Expander Deployment for Rotator Cuff Repair
An evertable implant expander delivers and secures a sheet-like tendon implant early to reinforce partial rotator cuff tears and limit degeneration.
