Solution Overview

Problem

Existing insertion type drug injection devices are prone to operator skill-dependent depth and pain issues during procedures, particularly in vaginal plastic surgery, leading to discomfort and potential skin damage.

Innovation Solution

A device with a tubular main body, a needle assembly featuring multiple needles and a pneumatic port, and a drug injection pipe, along with a guide and checking means for depth and angle verification, and a genuineness identification unit to ensure safe and accurate drug delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a disposable syringe is used for drug injection, then the operator can perform the injection procedure, but the injection depth and dose are affected by operator skill level

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinjection procedureVSAvoidinjection depth
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The injection device is designed to automatically control injection depth through its mechanical structure, eliminating the need for operator skill to achieve precise depth. The device self-regulates the injection parameters through its built-in depth control mechanism

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The device changes the physical parameters of injection by providing fixed depth markings and mechanical stops that constrain the needle insertion depth, transforming the variable operator-controlled parameter into a fixed device-determined parameter

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If a disposable syringe is used for drug injection, then the operator can inject the drug, but it is difficult to check the injection site

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedrug injectionVSAvoidinjection site
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The device incorporates visual indicators such as colored markings on the syringe barrel and needle guard that change or become visible at specific depths, allowing the operator to easily detect and verify the injection site and depth without additional equipment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

3Ease of operation

If the injection needle is exposed, then the operator can move to injection site, but it causes pain by hurting the inner wall of the vagina

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemovement to injection siteVSAvoidskin damage
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A needle guard or protective sheath acts as an intermediary between the exposed needle and the sensitive tissue, allowing the needle to be transported safely to the injection site while preventing direct contact with and damage to the inner wall of the vagina

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Ease of operation

If manual injection method is used, then the operator can perform the procedure, but the patient feels uncomfortable during the procedure

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveprocedureVSAvoidpatient discomfort
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The device automatically manages injection parameters such as depth, angle, and drug delivery rate through its mechanical design, reducing the need for manual adjustment and minimizing patient discomfort without requiring operator skill

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
