Solution Overview

Problem

Existing hemostatic materials struggle to quickly reach and effectively stop hemorrhages in the complex and hidden hemorrhage points of jaw central hemangioma, often leading to severe bleeding during procedures like tooth extraction, and current embolization methods risk damaging vital blood vessels.

Innovation Solution

A chitosan-based hemostatic agent with good fluidity and plasticity, prepared by reacting chitosan powder with organic weak acid and carboxymethyl chitosan, which forms a gel-like coagulation block to press against the hemorrhage point, providing rapid hemostasis and bacterial inhibition.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If existing hemostatic materials are used, then hemostasis can be achieved, but they cannot quickly reach the hidden hemorrhage points in the complex spatial structure of the alveolar fossa

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed to reach hemorrhage pointVSAvoidcomplexity of spatial structure
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical state parameter of the hemostatic material from solid particles to a fluid state with specific viscosity characteristics. The fluid hemostatic material can flow into the complex alveolar fossa structure and reach hidden hemorrhage points quickly, while the viscosity parameter ensures it remains retainable at the target site.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If compression hemostasis and surgical ligation are used, then hemorrhage can be stopped, but surgical treatment requires removal of most jaw and teeth, causing local depression deformity and dysfunction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehemostasis effectivenessVSAvoidtissue damage and deformity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the hemostatic function from complex surgical procedures and concentrates it into a simple fluid material application. The hemostatic material directly stops bleeding at the hemorrhage point without requiring removal of jaw or teeth, eliminating the harmful side effects of aggressive surgical intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If embolization therapy is used, then emergency hemostasis can be achieved, but the cannula cannot enter the blood supply artery, causing wrong embolization of important blood vessels

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehemostasis effectivenessVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses fluid hemostatic material as an intermediary substance that can be easily introduced into the alveolar fossa and automatically reach the hemorrhage point through capillary action and pressure gradient, avoiding the need for complex cannula insertion into blood supply arteries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Reliability

If hemostatic material is applied to jaw central blood vessel hemorrhage, then hemostasis can be achieved, but the material must form certain pressure at the hemorrhage point to effectively stop spraying hemorrhage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehemostasis effectivenessVSAvoidpressure at hemorrhage point
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStress or pressure

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the viscosity parameter of the hemostatic material to achieve the right balance: low enough to flow into the alveolar fossa and reach the hemorrhage point, but high enough to form adequate pressure at the target site to stop spraying hemorrhage effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
