Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If single-function surgical forceps are used, then the structure is simple, but frequent tool replacement is required prolonging surgical time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple surgical functions (clamping, electrocoagulation, tissue peeling) into a single integrated forceps device. The forceps head integrates clamping teeth for grasping, electrocoagulation strips for sealing blood vessels, and hooked tail ends for tissue peeling, eliminating the need for multiple separate tools and reducing surgical time
Solution Approach 2:
The surgical forceps is designed with universal multi-functionality to perform various surgical operations. The forceps head can clamp tissues, electrocoagulate blood vessels, and peel off tissue layers, making it a versatile tool that replaces multiple specialized instruments in laparoscopic surgery
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple surgical forceps are used for different functions, then each forceps can be optimized for its specific function, but the number of tools increases causing patient discomfort
Solution Approach 1:
The surgical forceps is designed with universal multi-functionality to perform various surgical operations. The forceps head can clamp tissues, electrocoagulate blood vessels, and peel off tissue layers, making it a versatile tool that replaces multiple specialized instruments in laparoscopic surgery
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple surgical functions (clamping, electrocoagulation, tissue peeling) into a single integrated forceps device. The forceps head integrates clamping teeth for grasping, electrocoagulation strips for sealing blood vessels, and hooked tail ends for tissue peeling, eliminating the need for multiple separate tools and reducing surgical time
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 simultaneous clamping, electrocoagulation, and tissue peeling without frequent tool changes, reducing surgical time and improving patient comfort.
Implementation Method 1
the first forceps head is formed with an upper toothed clamping electrocoagulation strip along the length direction, and the second forceps head is formed with a lower toothed clamping electrocoagulation strip that cooperates with the upper toothed clamping electrocoagulation strip
Implementation Method 2
the inner side of the second forceps head is also provided with a coagulation strip, and the tail ends of the first forceps head and the second forceps head are both hooked. The present invention clamps and electrocoagulates tissues through the cooperation of the upper toothed clamping electrocoagulation strip of the first forceps head and the lower toothed clamping electrocoagulation strip of the second forceps head

AI summary
The present invention discloses a multifunctional integrated surgical forceps, comprising a multifunctional forceps head, a sleeve, a forceps head opening and closing mechanism, a housing, a first forceps head, and a second forceps head. The first forceps head has an upper toothed clamping electrocoagulation strip, and the second forceps head has a lower toothed clamping electrocoagulation strip and the coagulation strip. The tissue is clamped and electrocoagulated by the cooperation of the upper toothed clamping electrocoagulation strip and the lower toothed clamping electrocoagulation strip. The surgical process can hook, clamp, and strip the tissue. The coagulation strip effectively coagulates small blood vessels and tissue during the surgical process, making the surgical forceps have multiple functions without the need to constantly replace the surgical forceps during the surgical process, shortening the surgical time.
