Canister Stand Layout for Gravity-Fed Tissue Dispensing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional tissue shaping and rejuvenation procedures, such as liposuction and filler material use, often result in less-than-optimum outcomes and scarring, highlighting the need for improved systems and methods for the removal, delivery, and transplantation of body tissues and substances.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a canister stand and a vibrational injection apparatus that supports a dispensing canister, where the apparatus includes a pump and a vibrating injection cannula with expanded tissue separation baskets, facilitating uniform distribution and dispersion of materials like adipose tissue or regenerative cells within tissues.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional tissue shaping procedures (liposuction) and rejuvenation procedures (filler materials) are used, then tissue removal or augmentation can be achieved, but less-than-optimum results and scarring occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical state and delivery parameters of adipose tissue by using a vibrational injection apparatus that delivers tissue in a controlled, dispersed manner rather than as large grafts, reducing trauma and scarring while improving procedural outcomes
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical grafting methods with a vibrational injection system that uses controlled vibrations to distribute tissue evenly, eliminating the need for large incisions and reducing scarring
2Ease of operation
If a canister stand with overhang is used to support dispensing canister, then gravity-fed dispensing is enabled, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent positions the canister on an overhang structure that allows the dispensing opening to be at the same gravitational potential as the receiving area, enabling gravity-fed flow without additional pumping or complex positioning mechanisms
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
