Artificial Hair Implant Using Polyamide 6 Ring for Scalp Fixation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing hair implant methods using anchors or implants can cause physiological side effects such as inflammation and infection, and are difficult to remove, leading to complications.
Innovation Solution
A method of manufacturing artificial hair using polyamide 6 powder and a master batch, forming a ring portion that is inserted and buried into the scalp's hairy fascia, with a diameter of 0.6 mm to 1.2 mm to minimize rejection reactions and facilitate easy replacement, using an implant device with an inclined surface to secure the hair.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If anchors or implants are used in hair implant methods, then the hair can be securely fixed to the scalp, but physiological side effects such as inflammation and infection occur and removal becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the anchor component entirely from the hair implant system. Instead of using a separate anchor that is inserted into the scalp to secure the hair, the invention directly implants the artificial hair into the scalp tissue without any intermediate fixing component, thereby eliminating the source of physiological side effects while maintaining secure fixation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a disposable, biodegradable approach where the artificial hair itself serves as the implant without requiring permanent anchors. The implant is designed to be temporary and naturally removable, avoiding long-term physiological complications associated with permanent anchor materials
2Strength
If anchors or implants are used in hair implant methods, then the hair can be securely fixed to the scalp, but removal of the anchor becomes significantly difficult
Solution Approach 1:
By completely removing the anchor component from the system, the patent eliminates the removal difficulty problem. The artificial hair is implanted directly into the scalp tissue and can be removed by simply pulling it out without the need to extract a separate anchor component, making the removal process as easy as the implantation
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the ring portion diameter is reduced to minimize rejection reactions, then physiological side effects are reduced, but the structural integrity may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent eliminates the ring portion structure entirely by removing the anchor component. Without a ring portion to compromise structural integrity, the design achieves minimal rejection reactions while maintaining sufficient fixation strength through direct implantation of the artificial hair into the scalp tissue
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the fundamental parameter of implant structure from a ring-based anchor system to a direct hair implantation system. This parameter change allows the diameter to be effectively reduced to zero (no ring portion) while maintaining fixation strength through the implantation method itself rather than through ring structural integrity

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The method minimizes rejection reactions like infection or inflammation and allows for easy replacement of artificial hair, ensuring the hair remains securely implanted without causing physiological side effects.
Implementation Method 1
mixing polyamide 6 powder and a master batch in a certain weight ratio
