Surgical System Vertebral Manipulation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current surgical systems for treating spinal disorders lack effective tools for precise manipulation and stabilization of vertebral tissue, particularly in correcting complex deformities and degenerative conditions, which can lead to inadequate relief of symptoms and instability post-surgery.
Innovation Solution
A surgical system comprising an implant support, a sleeve, and an adaptor that allows for distraction and/or compression of vertebral tissue, with a receiver having spaced-apart walls defining an implant cavity, enabling precise engagement and manipulation of vertebral tissue through a surgical instrument, facilitating procedures like fusion and stabilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If surgical instruments are used for compression and distraction of vertebrae, then manipulation of vertebral tissue is achieved, but precision and control of the manipulation is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The surgical system is divided into multiple functional components: a receiver with spaced-apart walls defining an implant cavity, an implant support engageable with the receiver, a sleeve with mating surfaces for engagement, and an adaptor for connecting surgical instruments. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function with precision while maintaining overall system reliability for vertebral manipulation and stabilization.
2Stability of the object's composition
If spinal implants are used for stabilization, then vertebral stability is improved, but the complexity of the surgical system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The receiver, implant support, sleeve, and adaptor are designed as universal components that can work together to provide multiple functions: the receiver with its spaced-apart walls provides both structural support and a interface for the implant support; the sleeve with its mating surfaces enables both engagement and disengagement; the adaptor allows connection of various surgical instruments. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized components, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining vertebral stabilization capability.
3Manufacturing precision
If complex deformities are corrected, then spinal disorder treatment effectiveness is improved, but the difficulty of the surgical procedure increases
Solution Approach 1:
The surgical system incorporates dynamic engagement capabilities through the sleeve with its mating surfaces that can be releasably engaged with the implant support and receiver. The adaptor provides dynamic connection for surgical instruments to the implant support. This dynamic design allows the system to adapt to different surgical scenarios and deformity corrections, providing the precision needed for complex deformity correction while maintaining ease of operation through standardized engagement interfaces.
