Solution Overview

Problem

Current hemostatic materials face challenges in quickly stopping massive bleeding, are difficult to degrade, require complex preparation, and are ineffective for individuals with coagulation disorders, often causing side effects and immune responses.

Innovation Solution

A Paenibacillus sp. 1229 strain produces a biodegradable exopolysaccharide (EPS) Hemoadhican with a unique chemical structure, forming a strong attachment to vascular tissues and creating a hemostatic plug without relying on blood components, suitable for various dosage forms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If zeolite-based hemostatic materials are used to achieve quick hemostasis, then hemostatic speed is improved, but heat release may burn the wound and cause inflammation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehemostatic speedVSAvoidheat burn and inflammation
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters by using calcium sulfate hemihydrate instead of zeolite, and controls the particle size distribution (D10: 2-5 μm, D50: 8-12 μm, D90: 15-20 μm) to achieve rapid hemostasis without harmful heat release

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses biodegradable calcium sulfate hemihydrate that decomposes into calcium sulfate dibasic and releases sulfur dioxide gas, providing temporary hemostatic function without long-term retention or harmful heat effects

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

2Reliability

If chitosan hemostatic materials are used to control large flow bleeding, then hemostatic effectiveness is improved, but materials remaining in the wound must be removed before surgery

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehemostatic effectivenessVSAvoidwound cleanup complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material composition to calcium sulfate hemihydrate with specific particle size distribution, enabling the material to be degraded by sulfuric acid in the wound environment, thus eliminating the need for manual removal while maintaining hemostatic effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The hemostatic material performs self-degradation through reaction with sulfuric acid present in the wound, automatically removing itself without requiring additional surgical intervention for cleanup

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If Celox hemostatic powders are used to achieve hemostasis, then large flow bleeding control is improved, but hemolysis rate cannot meet current requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelarge flow bleeding controlVSAvoidhemolysis
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material composition from chitosan to calcium sulfate hemihydrate with controlled particle size distribution, achieving effective large flow bleeding control without the hemolysis side effect that characterizes chitosan-based materials

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Reliability

If injection type hemostatic materials are used to strengthen coagulation cascade, then hemostatic mechanism effectiveness is improved, but immune response and antigenic reactions are induced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehemostatic mechanism effectivenessVSAvoidimmune response and antigenic reactions
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses biodegradable calcium sulfate hemihydrate that decomposes into calcium sulfate dibasic and sulfur dioxide gas, providing temporary hemostatic support without inducing long-term immune response or antigenic reactions associated with plasma and blood products

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

Solution Approach 2:

The material provides self-limiting hemostatic action through its decomposition reaction with sulfuric acid in the wound, eliminating the need for continuous immune system engagement required by coagulation factor-based therapies

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
