In the field of minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of obstetrics and gynecology, one-time hysteroscopy is a key tool to achieve accurate intrauterine examination and treatment. This disposable hysteroscope of Jiangsu Jiyuan Medical Technology Co., Ltd., from design analysis to ergonomics, demonstrates the dual empowerment of industrial design to medical function and user experience. The following from the design analysis, design language, design details, ergonomics four dimensions, in-depth analysis of its design value.
1. Design Analysis: Balance between "Professional Need" and "Experience Optimization" of Disposable Medical Equipment
The core positioning of disposable hysteroscopy is a sterile, single-use minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic device for intrauterine lesion examination, biopsy and minor surgery. The user group is obstetricians and gynecologists, and the operation scene is concentrated in the operating room or Junior College clinic, which has extremely strict requirements on the operation accuracy, holding stability and aseptic safety of the equipment.
The design needs to meet two major requirements at the same time: one is the "professional needs" at the medical level-sterile isolation, accurate imaging and controllable operation; The second is the "experience optimization" at the user level-long-term holding is not tiring, function switching is convenient, and equipment identification is high. This balance allows the product not only to comply with the "Medical Device Design and Development Quality Management Practices", but also to effectively improve the efficiency of doctors' diagnosis and treatment.
2. Design Language: "Functional Aesthetics" Expression in Medical Scene
1. Morphological language: the functional metaphor of "pistol" grip
The product adopts a pistol-like streamlined form, which is not a simple visual design, but a morphological response to the functional requirements of "minimally invasive operation requires stable force and precise control. This form integrates the optical probe, the operation button, and the pipeline interface into one, which not only ensures the compactness of the structure, but also allows the doctor to naturally exert force through the arm during operation to realize the fine movement of the probe.
2. Color Language: "Functional Stratification" of Medical White and Deep Purple"
Medical white subject: transfer "sterile, clean" medical attributes, in line with the strict requirements of the operating room for infection control, while making the equipment more visually professional and reliable.
Deep purple functional area: concentrated on the holding part and the interface area, not only distinguish the "operation area" and "probe area" by color, but also strengthen the visual recognition of the equipment-doctors can quickly identify and grasp the equipment on the operating table, so as to avoid the confusion of the equipment affecting the diagnosis and treatment process.
3. design details: the "micro embodiment" of medical ingenuity"
1. Key interaction: precise design of "blind operation level"
The two function keys in the holding area (such as "imaging capture" and "mode switching") are arranged within the natural extension range of the doctor's thumb. The size and spacing of the keys have been repeatedly adjusted: it not only prevents accidental touch caused by tense operation during operation, but also enables doctors to realize "blind operation" through "muscle memory" and complete function switching without line of sight-which is crucial for uterine cavity diagnosis and treatment that every second counts.
2. Interface and pipeline: reliable connection of "industrial grade"
The pipeline interface at the bottom of the equipment adopts a standardized medical quick plug-in structure, which not only ensures the tightness and stability of the pipeline (such as the expansion liquid pipeline) connection, but also realizes "one-key plug-in", which is in line with the use logic of "quick installation, ready-to-use and throw" of disposable equipment. The cable of the optical probe has both "flexibility" and "bending resistance", which can not only adapt to the operation requirements of different angles in the operation, but also avoid the signal interruption caused by the bending of the cable.
3. Brand and compliance: "professional sense" of the details of the transfer
The brand logo of "Jiangsu Jiyuan Medical Technology Co., Ltd." is clearly printed in a conspicuous position of the main body of the equipment, with concise fonts and characteristics of the medical industry, which not only strengthens the professional image of the brand in the field of minimally invasive, but also meets the traceability and information disclosure requirements of medical devices through the presentation of compliant logo.
4. Ergonomics: "Surgical Level" Grip Experience Design
1. Grip curve: "palm fit" fatigue relief
The curve of the holding part completely conforms to the physiological contour of the palm of an adult, and the surface of the dark purple area adopts "micro-texture anti-skid treatment" (inferred from the design logic), which not only improves the friction force of the holding during the operation, prevents the equipment from slipping, but also disperses the pressure of the palm-even if it is operated for a long time, it can reduce the fatigue of the hand to the greatest extent and ensure the continuity and accuracy of the operation.
2. Operating posture: mechanical optimization of "natural force type"
The overall weight and center of gravity of the device are strictly calculated, allowing the doctor to naturally exert force through the forearm when holding it, rather than relying on the "suspension force" of the wrist ". This design not only avoids wrist strain, but also realizes micron-level movement of the probe through the stable support of the arm, meeting the core requirements of "clear imaging and accurate operation" in uterine cavity diagnosis and treatment.
3. Adaptability: User coverage of "full scene"
Taking into account the differences in hand shapes of different doctors, the design team passed multiple rounds of man-machine testing to ensure that the equipment can adapt to the holding habits of most obstetricians and gynecologists. Doctors with large or small hands can adjust the power generation mode through the curve of the grip area to realize the personalized operation experience of "one person, one device.
Epilogue
The design of this disposable hysteroscope is a typical example of "industrial design empowering medical innovation. It takes "functional aesthetics" as the skeleton, "surgical-level ergonomics" as the flesh and blood, and "medical-level detail ingenuity" as the soul, sublimating disposable medical equipment from "simple consumables tools" to "doctor's minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment partner". In every decision-making of form, color, detail, and man-machine, the two-way rush of "medical accuracy" and "humanistic care" is reflected-this is the core value of modern minimally invasive medical equipment design: to make diagnosis and treatment more accurate, Let the doctor be more calm.
