| DESIGN NAME: Intocare and Butti PRIMARY FUNCTION: Powered Surgical Stapler INSPIRATION: In terms of styling, our inspiration came from the human hand: although we initially experimented some more geometrical shapes, we finally opted for a more organic one. Ripples and waves along the surface are intentionally designed and carefully positioned to offer a better grip and mobility to the doctor, combining hard and soft-touch surface finishes. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The system includes an universal handle(reusable and single patient use) and 5 different stapler working head (Circular Stapler, Linear Stapler, Linear Cutter, Endoscopic linear cutter and straight linear cutters). The reusable universal handle can be steam sterilized and used in up to 100 surgeries. The whole system designed to fulfill the following ideas: 1. Reduce the firing force significantly:2. Standardize the clinical outcomes: 3. Intuitive design allow users a quick plug in method,4. Design of earthward to save materials OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Doctors (and surgeons in particular) have very strong habits: our design goal was to IMPLEMENT their ability without revolutionizing their actions. I2C powered surgical staples combine a lithium battery-powered motor inbuilt in the handle and a easy lock-unlock 5-heads system. Each head/tool is dedicated to a specific surgery and allows doctors a very lean learning experience compared to the manual surgical staples they previously experienced. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The “Powered surgical staplers” project started as a pure concept early in 2015, in Suzhou and Wuxi, China. Within 2 and a half years, I2C and BUTTIstile worked together to refine the concept and went through many styling options, prototypes and pre-production models, progressively including all modifications required to achieve Chinese national CFDA and EU CE + Ce certifications.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: At the same time, our highly innovative product required a fresh and recognizable look, starting from the universal concept of FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION. Step 1 was to define a spectrum of functions (different surgeries require different hand gestures) and cross-reference them with different hand-sizes. A very hard task that we accomplished by using 30+ 1:1 clay models. Once the overall dimensional package had been defined (both for mechanical and electronic internal layouts and for ergonomics), we could then proceed with the actual styling phase, following these steps: hundreds of sketches, selection, rough 3d models, selection, 3d printed models (50+), final styling 3d, photorealistic renderings – and of course further refinement as we got closer to manufacturing. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Reusable and single use universal handle 160mm*91mm*38mm stapler working head size are different from each type.
