Modular Compression Trousers for Adjustable Pelvic Pressure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing medical garments for treating edema or injuries in the genital or pelvic area, such as hip and abdominal supports, are difficult to put on and take off, lack flexibility and adaptability, and do not allow for precise adjustment of compression pressure, leading to discomfort and reduced effectiveness.
Innovation Solution
Design of compression trousers with a separable waistband and trouser section, featuring adjustable fastening elements that enable precise adjustment of compression pressure through detachable connections, allowing for easy donning and doffing and customizable fit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a one-piece design is used for medical garments, then the garment provides continuous support and compression, but it becomes difficult to put on and take off and reduces flexibility and adaptability
Solution Approach 1:
The medical garment is divided into separate components: a waistband element and a trouser section that can be detached from each other. This segmentation allows the garment to be assembled and disassembled easily while maintaining the continuous support function when worn, directly resolving the contradiction between reliability and ease of operation.
2Device complexity
If a one-piece design is used for medical garments, then the structure is simple, but it reduces adaptability to different patients with varying abdominal and hip proportions
Solution Approach 1:
By separating the waistband and trouser section, the garment becomes adaptable to different body proportions. Each component can be independently adjusted or selected to match the patient's specific measurements, while the overall structure remains relatively simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The detachable connection between components introduces dynamic adjustability, allowing the garment configuration to be changed based on different patient needs and body types, thereby increasing adaptability without significantly complicating the overall structure.
3Stability of the object's composition
If a one-piece design is used for medical garments, then the garment maintains stable fit, but it causes discomfort when bending over as the waist-enclosing element tends to ride up
Solution Approach 1:
Separating the waistband from the trouser section allows the waistband to remain stable and in place during movement, while the trouser section can move independently with the body, preventing the waist element from riding up and improving comfort during bending and other movements.
4Reliability
If the known hip and abdominal support is used, then it provides general support, but it does not allow for precise adjustment of compression pressure in the genital and groin area
Solution Approach 1:
The separation of the waistband and trouser section enables independent adjustment of compression pressure in different areas. The trouser section can be specifically adjusted to provide precise compression in the genital and groin area, while the waistband provides general support, thus achieving both general support and precise pressure adjustment.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables individual and precise adjustment of compression pressure, improving comfort and effectiveness in treating edema or injuries by allowing easy application and adjustment of compression levels over time.
Implementation Method 1
a compression element (5) equipped with second fastening means (4) for exerting compression on the genital area of the patient, wherein the compression element can be attached to the waistband (1) by means of a detachable coupling of the first fastening means (2) and the second fastening means (4)
