Description
Summary:碩士 === 實踐大學 === 工業產品設計學系碩士班 === 102 === This research aims to investigate and solve the problems encountered by the general public while using adhesive bandages in order to enhance the usage of adhesive bandages in treating various wound sites and areas and to improve the convenience of dressing wounds while using them. At the same time, the research aims to improve the observation identifiability of the dressing used in adhesive bandages, thus solving the problems encountered in wound care. The preliminary stages of this research are to classify and name the marketed adhesive bandages, investigate their features and uses, and induct and analyze the appearance, size specifications and configuration modes of the package contents of various adhesive bandages. Further, the research aims to understand the users' functional requirements for new adhesive bandages through user experience surveys and to apply TRIZ to solve the contradictory problems derived from the requirements. We aim to solve four contradictory problems in the development process: (1) Adhesive bandages can be widely used on wounds located on the Three-dimensional surface of the hands, (2) Adhesive bandages can be widely used on wounds located on the Three-dimensional surface of the feet, (3) Adhesive bandages can be widely used on wounds on flat surface of different areas, and (4) The appearance of adhesive bandages combines both wound-shielding ability and wound-dressing observability. By importing the contradictory problems listed above into TRIZ contradiction matrix, we can obtain the corresponding inventive principles, Further, in the process of converting the inventive principles into solutions, this research applies the improved method of using the inventive principles. We then apply the best design solutions: (1) New adhesive bandages specifically used on hands, (2) New adhesive bandages specifically used on feet, (3) New adhesive bandages in which the dressing areas can be altered, and (4) Dressing observation holes. Finally, we produce the sample model and coordinate the use of questionnaire surveys and grey relational analysis to verify its feasibility. The validation results show that the new adhesive bandage sample achieves every functional requirement defaulted in this research and can solve the problems encountered by the general public when using adhesive bandages effectively. The research results can be used as reference for dressing manufacturers during product development process to provide users better choices of adhesive bandage products in the future.
