Modular Repair Assembly for Faster Implant Closure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing repair assemblies for closing separated functional parts in human organs due to lesions are structurally complex, leading to prolonged surgeries and delayed patient recovery.
Innovation Solution
A repair assembly comprising a first and second implant with fastener nails and a transverse tube connected by a locking suture, clamped by a suture clamping device, facilitated by a bending-adjusting sheath tube and implantation mechanism for precise delivery and fixation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional suturing or multiple surgical fastener nails with connecting wires are used to close separated functional parts, then the closing effect can be achieved, but the structure and implantation manner become complex, leading to prolonged surgery time
Solution Approach 1:
The repair assembly is divided into independent modular components: first implant with first fastener nail, second implant with second fastener nail, and suture clamping device. Each component can be independently delivered and positioned, then assembled to achieve the closing effect, reducing overall structural complexity while maintaining reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple fastening functions into a unified repair assembly where the suture clamping device integrates the clamping and fixation functions. The connecting wires and locking sutures merge the first and second implants into a single functional unit, simplifying the implantation process while achieving reliable closure
2Reliability
If traditional suturing or multiple surgical fastener nails with connecting wires are used to close separated functional parts, then the closing effect can be achieved, but the implantation manner becomes complex, leading to delayed patient recovery
Solution Approach 1:
The first and second implants are pre-assembled with fastener nails and connecting wires in a controlled manner before delivery to the target site. The suture clamping device is pre-configured to receive the locking sutures. This preliminary preparation simplifies the intraoperative assembly process and reduces surgery time while maintaining reliable closure
Solution Approach 2:
The repair assembly employs dynamic delivery mechanisms including a bending-adjusting sheath tube that allows real-time position adjustment during implantation. The suture clamping device can be dynamically positioned and activated to secure the locking sutures, enabling flexible adaptation to different anatomical conditions while reducing overall procedure time
