3D-Printed Pelvic Bladder Support for Organ Prolapse Repair
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Western medical technologies fail to recognize and effectively address the lowering of internal organs due to insufficiency of splenogastric qi, leading to incorrect diagnosis and treatment, and existing surgical support methods do not adequately address the resulting pelvic organ prolapse and urological disorders in elderly individuals.
Innovation Solution
An external intra-pelvic fundus vesicae support is developed using medical three-dimensional printing technology, specifically designed to lift and stabilize the bladder and other organs by implanting a frame structure that conforms to individual anatomical shapes, addressing the insufficiency of splenogastric qi and correcting pelvic organ positioning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional western medical diagnosis and treatment methods are used for pelvic organ prolapse, then anatomical classification and local treatment are applied, but the underlying cause of organ lowering due to insufficiency of splenogastric qi is not addressed, leading to incomplete treatment effectiveness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the conventional western medical approach by integrating traditional Chinese medicine theory (insufficiency of splenogastric qi) with modern surgical support technology. Instead of treating only the anatomical manifestation, the invention addresses both the TCM-diagnosed functional deficiency and the physical organ prolapse through a unified support device that restores both position and function.
2Stability of the object's composition
If surgical support implantation technology is applied to pelvic organ prolapse, then organ positioning is corrected, but existing methods do not adequately address the specific needs of elderly patients with insufficiency of splenogastric qi
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by designing a support device with specific structural characteristics suited for elderly patients. The frame structure includes customized curvature and support points that match the anatomical changes in aged pelvises, providing localized reinforcement where splenogastric qi insufficiency has caused the most significant organ lowering.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention utilizes parameter changes through three-dimensional printing technology to customize the support device's geometric parameters (curvature, size, support point locations) based on individual patient anatomy and the specific degree of organ prolapse, making the device adaptable to varying conditions of elderly patients.
3Ease of operation
If conventional treatment methods are used for pelvic organ prolapse, then local symptoms are treated, but the cluster of lesions in a non-isolated state causes multiple organ dysfunction that cannot be fully addressed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple treatment objectives into a single integrated support device that simultaneously addresses bladder positioning, urethral support, and prevention of rectal prolapse. The frame structure is designed to provide comprehensive support to multiple pelvic organs at once, treating the cluster of lesions caused by insufficiency of splenogastric qi in a unified manner.

AI summary
An external intra-pelvic fundus vesicae support disposed at the outer fundus vesicae position and fixing the front end to the pelvic pecten pubis position to lift internal organs. An injection channel is provided inside an external intra-pelvic fundus vesicae support structure, and a screw hole is formed at an input hole, so that the support can be connected to an in-vitro device. According to the external intra-pelvic fundus vesicae support, a tomoscan three-dimensional modeling technology is used to generate a model file which completely conforms to physiological shapes of the pelvic pecten pubis and the outer fundus vesicae and the spatial form of the abdominal cavity of a typical person, and the external intra-pelvic fundus vesicae support of a frame structure and medical material quality is obtained using 3-D printing technologies. Before a surgery is conducted, a virtual reality technology is used to simulate and verify a surgical safety scheme.
