Living Tissue Bonding via Temperature Integral Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current living tissue bonding systems lack precise control over energy application, leading to inconsistent treatment results due to reliance on time-based energy delivery rather than temperature-based integration, which can affect the bonding strength and safety of the procedure.
Innovation Solution
A system with a sandwiching section that applies treatment energy, a temperature measuring section, a calculation section to determine the time integral value of tissue temperature, and a comparison section to adjust energy delivery based on predetermined settings, ensuring optimal bonding conditions by controlling the heating amount.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If time-based energy delivery is used for tissue bonding, then the operation is simpler, but the treatment consistency and bonding strength are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from time-based energy delivery to temperature-based energy delivery control. The control section monitors tissue temperature in real-time and adjusts the energy delivery duration and intensity to achieve a target temperature, ensuring consistent treatment outcomes regardless of variations in tissue properties or contact conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback control system where the temperature detection section continuously monitors tissue temperature during energy delivery. The control section uses this real-time temperature information to adjust or terminate energy delivery, ensuring the tissue reaches the optimal bonding temperature without overheating, thereby improving treatment consistency.
2Strength
If higher energy is applied to strengthen bonding, then bonding strength improves, but the risk of tissue damage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The temperature detection section provides real-time feedback on tissue temperature during energy delivery. The control section uses this information to precisely control the energy delivery amount, ensuring the tissue reaches the optimal bonding temperature range without exceeding it, thus achieving strong bonding while preventing tissue damage.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts energy delivery based on real-time temperature measurements. Rather than using fixed energy levels, the control section modulates the energy delivery intensity and duration to maintain temperature within the optimal bonding range, adapting to variations in tissue thermal properties and environmental conditions.
