Mannan-Based Simulated Animal Organ for Surgical Training

The patent uses starch as a biodegradable material that can be disposed of after single use, eliminating the need for expensive reusable materials like silicone resin. The simulated organ is designed to be used once and then discarded, solving both the cost issue and the hygiene reusability problem while maintaining training effectiveness.

The patent changes the material parameter from non-biodegradable silicone resin to biodegradable starch, and controls the degradation timing through environmental conditions (temperature, humidity). This allows the simulated organ to maintain its properties during use and then decompose naturally after disposal, resolving the contradiction between cost and training effectiveness.

The patent changes the material composition from polyvinyl alcohol to starch-based materials with specific gelatinization properties. By controlling the gelatinization temperature and adding electrolytes, the material achieves the desired melting behavior that mimics real organ tissue when cut with an electric knife, while maintaining low cost and high training effectiveness.

The patent creates a composite material system using starch, electrolytes, and other additives to achieve the desired properties. The combination of these materials provides the right balance of cost-effectiveness, realistic feel, and appropriate response to electric knife cutting, resolving the contradiction between inexpensive materials and training effectiveness.

The patent employs a disposable simulated organ made from biodegradable starch materials. After single use in training, the simulated organ can be naturally decomposed without causing environmental pollution, unlike conventional chemical-based materials. This resolves the contradiction between maintaining training continuity and preventing environmental harm.

The patent converts the potential harm of disposal into a benefit by using biodegradable materials that naturally decompose. The decomposition process, which would normally be considered waste management, becomes an environmentally friendly solution that eliminates pollution while maintaining training productivity through easy replacement of used simulated organs.
