Project Name: Appearance Design of the Handle of the Ultrasound Knife (Scheme B)
Collaboration Scope: Design Analysis | Industrial Design | Structural Design | Prototype Fabrication | Ongoing Support and Assistance
This is the ultrasonic knife handle scheme B designed by Shanghai Suoguo for the brand of "micro (wedu)", which continues the design principle of ergonomics core, compact and convenient, and at the same time makes a differentiated upgrade in visual recognition and operation interaction. The following is disassembled from multi-dimensional depth:
1. Product Core Positioning
Full name of the product: micro degree (wedu) ultrasonic surgical scissors handle (scheme B)
Core design principles: focus on the doctor's operation experience, on the basis of ensuring minimally invasive function, through color zoning and structural optimization, strengthen the operation recognition and comfort, adapt to high-frequency, long-term surgical scenes.
2. Analysis of Design Language
1. Overall shape and color language
Core modeling: continue the classic gun-like holding form of medical products to ensure the unity of doctors' operation habits; However, streamlined waist-closing treatment is done at the tail of the handle and the holding area, which is lighter and more modern in vision than Scheme A.
Color strategy: use white light blue as the main color. White continues the clean medical properties, light blue is alternative A green, conveying a stronger sense of technology and calm, accurately matching the ultrasonic knife high-end medical equipment positioning, while forming a clear visual partition with the white body, enhance product texture.
2. Style Positioning
It belongs to the style of precision medical technology, taking into account "functionality" and "visual guidance 」:
Sense of science and technology: through the embellishment of light blue decorative parts, strengthen the technical attributes of the product;
Guidance: color zoning clear visual function area, assist doctors to quickly identify the operating site.
3. Design Detail Breakdown
1. Front-end working end optimization
Upgrade of protective structure: the hollow protective structure at the root of the cutter head adopts a more hierarchical curved surface shape, with smoother lines, which not only retains the core functions of weight reduction, heat dissipation and prevention of visual field obstruction, but also improves the aesthetics and integrity of the structure;
Connection node: The connection area between the cutter head and the handle adopts a blue decorative ring snap-on structure, which is more visually eye-catching, and at the same time strengthens the connection stability, which is convenient for doctors to quickly confirm that the assembly is in place.
2. Core Control Area Details
Gear adjustment area: the MAX/MIN double gear button is retained, but the button and the handle holding area are integrated with blue decorative parts, which not only improves the visual recognition, but also increases the touch area of the button, making it easier to locate accurately when wearing gloves;
Trigger and grip area:
The trigger is designed with a full blue curved surface. Compared with the local color matching of Scheme A, the trigger has a larger area, more obvious feedback, and a softer touch when the index finger is pulled;
The surface of the grip area is made with dense vertical anti-skid texture, which is different from the horizontal texture of scheme A, further optimizing the grip friction force and adapting to the hand force habit of different doctors;
The curvature of the handle grip is more in line with the curve of the palm, and the end is rounded and closed, reducing the pressure feeling of long-term holding.
3. Brand and process details
Brand implantation: "wedu micro" logo with color embedded design, with a higher degree of integration with the fuselage, visual more clean;
Edge treatment: the whole body without acute angle, all joints to do chamfer transition, in line with medical product safety attributes;
Texturous presentation: The surface is matte and frosted to avoid the reflection of surgical lights from interfering with the field of vision, while enhancing the tactile experience of high-end medical equipment.
4. In-depth Ergonomic Analysis
1. Holding experience upgrade
Form adaptation: the handle adopts an arc-shaped curved surface that conforms to the natural grip of the human hand. Compared with Scheme A, the waist-closing design reduces the lateral space occupied by the handle, and the operation is more flexible in a narrow surgical field of vision, and it is not easy to touch the surrounding tissues;
Center of gravity optimization: continue the rear design of the center of gravity, close to the grip area, reduce the torque burden of the front head, and long-term operation can effectively relieve arm muscle fatigue.
2. Operational Interaction Optimization
Convenience of operation: the gear button and the blue decorative part of the trigger form a visual focus, and the doctor can double confirm the operation area through tactile vision without lowering his head, thus improving the continuity of the operation process;
Glove adaptation: all operating parts (buttons and triggers) have been enlarged and convex designed to perfectly adapt to the scene of wearing sterile surgical gloves and avoid slipping and accidental touch;
The field of view is transparent: the hollow design of the front-end protective structure is further optimized to minimize the obstruction of the surgical field of view and ensure the accuracy of the operation.
5. Supplementary Multi-Perspective Design
The three diagrams fully present the design logic of Scheme B from the perspective of positive side, oblique side and rear side:
Positive side viewing angle: clearly show the integrated design of overall color matching, gear button and cutter head protection structure;
Oblique side angle of view: the curved surface curvature and vertical anti-skid texture of the grip are presented, which directly reflects the human-machine holding experience;
Side rear view: Shows the handle waist design and tail connection structure to verify the balance of the center of gravity and operational flexibility.
6. Plan B Core Benefits
Compared with scheme A, the difference between scheme B is:
Visual recognition is stronger: blue and white color matching is more scientific and technological, and the color partition of functional area is more obvious;
Higher operating comfort: optimized grip curvature and texture to adapt to more refined operating scenarios;
Lightweight visual experience: waist-to-waist modeling reduces the weight of the product, more in line with the lightweight needs of minimally invasive medical.
The design perfectly balances the clinical practicality of medical products and the aesthetic requirements of industrial design, and is an ultrasonic scalpel handle solution with both technical sense and humanistic care. Sogo Design: www.soogot.com
