Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current external traditional Chinese medicine preparations for treating bone and joint, muscle pain, and superficial wounds are limited in effectiveness, often requiring coordination with oral medication, have significant side effects, and lack nutrients for cell regeneration and repair, while band-aids can worsen wounds over time.
Innovation Solution
An anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and fast-healing external traditional Chinese medicine preparation comprising corydalis tuber, maifanitum, radix aconiti kusnezoffii praeparata, common clubmoss herb, clematis root, safflower, bryozoatum, and oyster shell, with a unique preparation process involving extraction and ultra-high shear homogenization, providing fast transdermal absorption and wound healing without side effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If external traditional Chinese medicine preparations are used for treating bone and joint, muscle pain, then the treatment avoids gastrointestinal side effects and long recovery time, but the therapeutic effect is limited and coordination with oral medication is required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functional components into a single external preparation: anti-inflammatory ingredients (e.g., corydalis tuber, clematis root), analgesic ingredients (e.g., maifanitum, radix aconiti kusnezoffii praeparata), and nutrient ingredients for cell regeneration (e.g., safflower, common clubmoss herb). This integration allows the preparation to provide comprehensive therapeutic effects including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and tissue repair functions without requiring coordination with oral medication.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a composite formulation containing multiple types of ingredients with different functions: anti-inflammatory components, analgesic components, and nutrient components for cell regeneration. This composite structure enables the preparation to simultaneously address inflammation, pain, and tissue repair, achieving reliable therapeutic effects while maintaining the safety advantages of external application.
2Ease of operation
If band-aid is used for temporary hemostasis and wound protection, then the wound is protected initially, but the wound and surrounding skin whiten and soften over time, leading to secondary bacterial infection
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical and chemical parameters of the wound care product from a solid adhesive bandage to a liquid preparation with specific viscosity characteristics. The liquid form allows for better breathability and moisture control, preventing the whitening and softening effects that occur with traditional band-aids. The preparation maintains wound protection while avoiding the harmful effects of prolonged adhesive contact.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the reusable adhesive bandage with a liquid preparation that is applied and then absorbed or evaporates, leaving no residual adhesive on the wound. This eliminates the need for removal and avoids the secondary infections caused by adhesive degradation over time.
3Reliability
If anti-inflammatory and analgesic external traditional Chinese medicine preparations are used, then inflammation and pain are relieved, but the preparations lack nutrients for cell regeneration and repair
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges three distinct functional categories into one preparation: anti-inflammatory ingredients (corydalis tuber, clematis root), analgesic ingredients (maifanitum, radix aconiti kusnezoffii praeparata), and nutrient ingredients for cell regeneration (safflower, common clubmoss herb, bryozoatum, oyster shell). This combination ensures that the preparation simultaneously provides inflammation relief, pain relief, and tissue repair nutrients.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a multi-functional preparation that performs multiple roles: anti-inflammatory action, analgesic action, and provision of nutrients for cell regeneration and repair. This universal preparation eliminates the need for separate medications for each function, providing comprehensive care in a single application.
4Reliability
If oral medication is used for treating bone and joint, muscle pain, then the medication can reach the affected area, but the effect is slow and gastrointestinal side effects are significant
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the therapeutic functions from oral medication and delivers them directly to the affected area through external application. By taking out the active ingredients and applying them topically, the preparation achieves faster local concentrations of anti-inflammatory and analgesic components, eliminating the slow absorption through the gastrointestinal tract while maintaining effective treatment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the skin and transdermal absorption as an intermediary pathway to deliver medications directly to the affected muscles and joints. This intermediary route bypasses the gastrointestinal tract and systemic circulation, providing faster and more direct therapeutic action at the site of injury while avoiding gastrointestinal side effects.
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
The preparation effectively reduces inflammation and pain, promotes cell regeneration, and rapidly heals wounds with no adverse reactions, offering a safer and more effective alternative to existing treatments for both pain management and wound care.
Implementation Method 1
