Problem
Conventional injector devices for biocompatible materials are complex, difficult to assemble and use, and pose risks due to numerous components and high pressure connections, making them invasive and challenging for deep anatomical injections.
Innovation Solution
A monoblock, rigid, and minimally invasive injector device with a cannulated body and piston system, featuring a curved end section and radiopaque materials for controlled delivery of biocompatible materials, such as bone paste, to deep anatomical areas like the spine, with simplified loading and operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of moving object
If conventional injector devices with multiple components are used to reach deep anatomical locations, then the ability to deliver material to deep sites is improved, but the device complexity and difficulty of assembly and use increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the syringe body, injection cannula, and material container into a single integrated monoblock device. This eliminates the need for multiple separate components that need to be assembled and disconnected, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining the capability to reach deep anatomical locations. The integrated design allows the device to function as a unified system for material delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The monoblock device performs multiple functions within a single structure: it serves as both the syringe body and the injection cannula, and includes an integrated material container. This multi-functionality reduces the number of separate components needed, simplifying the overall device while maintaining deep injection capability.
2Productivity
If conventional injector devices with multiple connection portions are used, then material delivery capability is improved, but the risk of tissue damage and invasiveness increases
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating the material container and injection cannula into a single monoblock structure, the patent eliminates multiple connection portions that would require assembly and disassembly. This reduces the number of times the device needs to be connected and disconnected near anatomical structures, thereby reducing the risk of tissue damage while maintaining effective material delivery capability.
3Quantity of substance
If conventional injector devices with disconnected containers are used, then material storage is improved, but the number of connection and adaptation portions increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the material container directly into the syringe body as a single monoblock structure, eliminating the need for separate connection and adaptation portions between the container and injection cannula. This maintains adequate material storage capacity while significantly reducing device complexity by removing multiple connection interfaces.
