From Concept to Solution Description The device is intended to retract, stabilise and approximate tissue during orthopedic procedures on the lower arm. The system is made of an X-ray transparent plastic material and thus can be left in place during intraoperative fluoroscopic use. Modular system consists of several specific instruments. Due the elasticity of the material, the shape of the individual instruments can adapt in the course of the retraction process. This is a desired effect that leads to better attachment of the retractor to the tissue, which thus helps to reduce tissue damage, while optimizing the surgeon’s view of the surgical field. Project challenge Full design of the product, additional innovative features and functionalities were implemented. Solution Set of molded, adjustable to human anatomy components was introduced. Additional features, such as easy and intuitive mounting were implemented. Materials The system is a made of polyethylene copolymer (CAS No. 25087-34-7, with 1-butene as comonomer). It does not contain any substance classified as hazardous per the EC directives. Scope Defining requirements (CAD labs) 3D printed and vacuum casted prototypes Participation in anatomy workshop – testing & verifying functionality 3D & 2D drawings Engineering calculations Molding tools Validations (molding, sterilization, shelf-life, package design) Vendor & BOM management CE marking Typical areas of aplication: orthopedic surgical devices.
