Carboxy Therapy Applicator Gas Temperature Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current carboxy therapy products fail to maintain gas temperature and humidity levels during delivery, leading to potential tissue drying and discomfort for patients.
Innovation Solution
The development of carboxy therapy applicators that include a heater module and humidification module to warm and humidify gases to body temperature, allowing for precise control of gas flow, pressure, temperature, and pH levels directly at the point of injection, ensuring consistent and comfortable delivery of carbon dioxide or other gases.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If gas is heated at the control unit, then the gas temperature is improved, but the gas cools to ambient room temperature during transport through tubes
Solution Approach 1:
The gas is pre-heated to body temperature in the control unit before being delivered through the tubes to the treatment site, ensuring the gas arrives at the correct temperature for therapeutic effect
Solution Approach 2:
A heated transport tube system acts as an intermediary between the control unit and injection needle, maintaining gas temperature during transport by providing thermal insulation or active heating along the tube length
2Ease of operation
If gas is delivered through tubes from control unit, then the gas can reach the injection needle, but the gas cools to ambient room temperature
Solution Approach 1:
A heated transport tube system acts as an intermediary between the control unit and injection needle, maintaining gas temperature during transport by providing thermal insulation or active heating along the tube length
Solution Approach 2:
The system actively controls and maintains gas temperature parameters throughout the transport process, adjusting heating levels to compensate for heat loss and ensure consistent body-temperature gas delivery at the injection site

AI summary
Handheld carboxy therapy applicators are disclosed. In one implementation, a handheld carboxy therapy applicator includes a heater module, a humidification module, and a hypodermic needle. The heater module is configured to receive a flow of gas and to warm gas within the flow of gas. The humidification module is in fluid communication, such as in a serial connection, with the heater module. The humidification module is configured to receive the flow of gas from the heater module and to humidify the gas within the flow of gas. The hypodermic needle is in serial connection with the humidification module. The hypodermic needle is configured to receive the flow of gas from the humidification module and to inject the flow of gas into a tissue of a patient.
