Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a single inflatable airbag is used for vaginal dilation, then the device structure is simple, but the dilation precision and adaptability for different local areas are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The single airbag is divided into multiple independent airbags (first, second, third airbags) that can be independently inflated and controlled. Each airbag targets a specific vaginal area, enabling precise local dilation treatment while maintaining the simplicity of the overall device structure through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
Different airbags are positioned to provide different dilation forces to different vaginal areas. The first airbag targets the vaginal opening, the second airbag targets the vaginal canal, and the third airbag targets the vaginal fornix, allowing customized local quality treatment for each area.
2Reliability
If medication flushing is performed through device removal, then the flushing effect is achieved, but the treatment frequency increases and patient suffering increases
Solution Approach 1:
A flow guide mechanism is introduced as an intermediary component between the vaginal cavity and the external environment. This mechanism includes liquid-absorbing cotton and flow guide holes that enable medication flushing and drainage without requiring device removal, thereby maintaining treatment convenience while ensuring reliable flushing effect.
Solution Approach 2:
The flow guide mechanism enables the device to perform self-flushing through its own structure. The liquid-absorbing cotton and flow guide holes allow medication to be flushed and drained automatically without external intervention or device removal, making the system self-sufficient for medication administration.
3Ease of manufacture
If direct medication dripping is used, then the medication application is simple, but clothing contamination occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The flow guide mechanism acts as an intermediary between the vaginal cavity and external environment. The liquid-absorbing cotton within this mechanism absorbs excess medication liquid, preventing it from dripping onto clothing while still allowing effective medication application and subsequent flushing.
4Ease of operation
If the entire dilation device is inflated synchronously, then the inflation control is simple, but the targeted local dilation capability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The inflation system is segmented into multiple independent control channels, each controlling a specific airbag. This allows the operator to inflate different airbags independently or simultaneously, maintaining operational simplicity while achieving precise targeted local dilation of specific vaginal areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The inflation system becomes dynamically adjustable, allowing different inflation pressures and timing for different airbags. The first, second, and third airbags can be inflated in sequence or simultaneously based on treatment requirements, providing dynamic control over the dilation process while maintaining ease of operation.

AI summary
An adjustable wearable vaginal dilation device includes an outer-layer inflatable dilation assembly, an inner-layer inflation assembly, a flow guide mechanism, and an inflation control assembly. The outer-layer inflatable dilation assembly includes a plurality of independent airbags, the inner-layer inflation assembly penetrates through the interiors of the independent airbags, and a bottom baffle is sleeved at the bottom of the inner-layer inflation assembly; an elastic band is attached to a side edge of the bottom baffle, and an adhesive sheet is connected to a tail end of the elastic band; and the flow guide mechanism is mounted on the top of the outer-layer inflatable dilation assembly. According to the dilation device, dilation of different degrees can be provided for different areas of the vagina. Meanwhile, in the process of using the dilation device during the menstrual period, contamination caused by menstrual blood directly dripping on clothes can be avoided.
