Engineering Design in surgery: An analysis model for prototype validation
Résumé
Many surgical instruments consist of basic mechanical components which are common in mechanical design. New surgeries performed with better results thanks to these instruments, but the question is how these instruments were designed and developed? How the confrontation between surgical needs and engineering solution can end to a well designed instrument? One experimental stage in surgical design is prototyping and validation by the surgeon in the real use situation, we call it emulation. In this article we study a new surgical instrument design as a design process, and try to make out the details from observed emulation steps. The main object is to develop an analyse model for detailing surgical procedure, in order to have a focused vision on prototype validation. This model aims also to provide some helps in requirement analysis for the designer in conceptual design.
