Establishment of BM-TRIZ Biomedical Inventive Principles and Design-thinking Methods for Innovative Design of Medical Devices Based on A New Polymeric Biomaterial Containing Polyvinyl Alcohol Foam via an Air-foaming Procedure

A new biomaterial containing polyvinyl alcohol foam with a fully open-cell microstructure would be designed and prepared via air-foaming procedure in this study. The resulting biomaterials might provide several functional properties for various clinic potential applications. Also, the resulting biomaterial containing polyvinyl alcohol foam could be employed to prepare a series of new medical device for the clinic potential applications. Further, a systematic design-thinking method for innovative design of medical device would be built up and provided. A series of new medical devices would be designed and obtained.
