Solution Overview

Problem

Existing compression devices struggle with operability issues due to the adhesive sheet's second portion not being covered by the compression member, leading to potential detachment from the biological surface.

Innovation Solution

A compression device set comprising a compression device with an adhesive sheet and a cover member, where the adhesive sheet has an adhesion surface and a compression member that can be easily attached to a biological surface and includes a cover member to secure the second portion, preventing detachment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a compression device is attached to a compression garment to provide adjustable compression, then the compression level can be customized, but the device becomes more complex and harder to attach securely

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompression level adjustabilityVSAvoidattachment mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The compression device is divided into separate components: a compression member and an attachment device. The attachment device includes a first attachment portion that attaches to the compression garment and a second attachment portion that receives the compression member. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and simplifies the overall attachment mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The compression member is received within the attachment device, creating a nested structure. The attachment device encompasses the compression member, allowing the compression member to be securely held while maintaining a compact overall structure that is easier to attach to the compression garment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a compression device is designed to be removable and adjustable, then versatility is improved, but the attachment becomes less secure and stable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremovable and adjustable capabilityVSAvoidattachment security and stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The attachment device is pre-configured with attachment portions designed to secure to the compression garment before the compression member is inserted. This preliminary attachment ensures stability and security are established before the adjustable compression function is activated, maintaining reliability while allowing later removal and adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If the compression device is made compact and simple, then ease of attachment is improved, but the compression capability and adjustability are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of attachmentVSAvoidcompression capability and adjustability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The attachment device transitions from a static structure to a dynamic one that can accommodate different compression members. The attachment portions are designed to securely hold various compression members, allowing the device to adapt to different compression needs while maintaining ease of attachment through a consistent interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

[Problem] Provided is a compression device set and a method for attaching a device that are capable of implementing a compression device that is easily attached to a biological surface and that is unlikely to be released from the biological surface. [Means for Resolution] The compression device set according to this disclosure includes: a compression device that is configured to be adhered to a biological surface; and a cover member configured to be attached to and detached from the compression device. The compression device includes: an adhesive sheet having, on a lower surface, an adhesion surface configured to be adhered to the biological surface; and a compression member that is fixed to the adhesive sheet on an upper surface side of the adhesive sheet and that is configured to compress the biological surface in a state in which the adhesion surface of the adhesive sheet is adhered to the biological surface. The adhesive sheet includes a first portion that is in contact with the compression member and a second portion that is not in contact with the compression member. The cover member is configured to be attached to the compression member in a state in which the cover member is configured to come into contact with an upper surface of at least a part of the second portion of the adhesive sheet.
