Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for administering anesthetics, such as topical agents, often fail to effectively reduce pain during injections in sensitive areas, leading to discomfort for patients, especially those requiring frequent injections like diabetics.

Innovation Solution

A medical procedure accessory components holding unit that includes a syringe disposal device module, a dispensing tool module, a canister module, and a syringe attachment module, designed to securely store and manage medical devices for anesthetic application, allowing for efficient and safe handling of syringes and anesthetic dispensing tools.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If topical anesthetic agents are applied to the injection site, then the patient expects a painless injection, but the anesthetic does not cross the skin/mucosal membranes effectively, resulting in significant pain during injection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepain during injectionVSAvoideffectiveness of anesthetic application
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts the anesthetic from topical application and delivers it directly into the tissue at the injection site through a syringe, bypassing the skin/mucosal membrane barrier that prevents effective topical absorption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The syringe acts as an intermediary device that delivers the anesthetic directly to the target tissue, replacing the ineffective topical application method and ensuring reliable anesthetic effect before injection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If syringes are disposed of after use, then infection control is maintained, but the process of removing syringes from dispensing tools can be dangerous and messy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinfection controlVSAvoiddanger and mess during syringe removal
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the syringe disposal process into distinct functional modules: a dispensing tool module for injection and a syringe disposal device module for safe removal and disposal, allowing each to be optimized for its specific function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The syringe is extracted from the dispensing tool through a controlled removal mechanism that captures the syringe in a disposal device, preventing accidental needle exposure and making the disposal process safe and clean

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
