Bone Fixing Plate Cutter With Integrated Hook Bending
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current surgical practices require separate devices for cutting and bending bone fixing plates, leading to increased equipment complexity and prolonged surgery times due to the need for multiple instruments.
Innovation Solution
A multipurpose cutting device for bone fixing plates that can simultaneously cut and bend the plate into a hook shape, reducing the number of required devices and simplifying surgical procedures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate devices are used for cutting and bending bone fixing plates, then cutting and bending operations can be performed with dedicated instruments, but the number of equipment increases and surgery time is prolonged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines cutting and bending functions into a single integrated device. The bone fixing plate processing device includes both cutting blades for trimming the plate and bending mechanisms for forming angles, allowing both operations to be performed with one instrument rather than requiring separate cutting and bending tools
Solution Approach 2:
The device is designed with multiple functional components that can perform different operations. The same device can cut the bone fixing plate to desired length and shape, then bend it to required angles, making it a universal tool that replaces multiple specialized instruments
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple instruments are used for plate modification, then precise cutting and bending can be achieved, but the surgery time is prolonged
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating cutting and bending functions in one device, the patent eliminates the time required to switch between instruments while maintaining precision through dedicated cutting blades and controlled bending mechanisms
3Productivity
If a single device performs both cutting and bending, then equipment complexity is reduced and surgery time is shortened, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into distinct functional modules including cutting components, bending mechanisms, and a fixing plate holding structure. This segmentation allows each function to be optimized independently while being integrated into a unified device that improves surgical workflow

AI summary
A cutting device for a bone fixing plate having a multipurpose bite for easily bending bone in the shape of a hook while reducing the size of a fixing plate for fixing fractured bone to each other. Curved surface cutting and V-shape cutting can be performed using one cutting device, thereby reducing the number of equipment, shortening surgery time, and generating a strong holding force at the time of bending to enable precise cutting.
