Small design, temperature design language. Under the tough shape, the outer contour surface is soft chamfered.
"Compact": adapt to the operating room compact space, reduce equipment footprint, improve mobility and placement flexibility;
"Design with temperature": a soft visual language is integrated into the professional sense of medical equipment to ease the tension of doctors and patients;
"Combination of hard and soft": the reliability of medical equipment is reflected in the tough geometric shape, and the cold feeling is weakened by the full soft chamfer, taking into account the visual beauty and operational safety (to avoid bumping).
3. Design Language Depth Analysis
1. Modeling language
Integrated minimalist modeling: using horizontal cuboid as the basic form, the overall line is simple and smooth, no redundant decoration, in line with the professional and rigorous tone of medical equipment;
Contour processing combined with hard and soft: the main body is divided by tough block surface, and all outer contours and corners are chamfered with large radius, which not only ensures the sense of strength of the structure, but also weakens the sense of industry, realizing the balance of "professional affinity;
Hierarchical color separation design: the use of "silver gray dark gray brand blue" three-color system:
Silver gray (metal texture): as the main frame, highlighting the sense of precision of high-end medical equipment;
Dark gray (matte): as the operation panel area, strengthen the visual focus, at the same time dirt, anti fingerprint;
Brand blue (embellished color): used for logo, interface, keys, form a visual focus, strengthen brand identification, and conform to the professional color matching of the medical industry.
2. Vision and Brand Language
Brand visual enhancement: the front and top surfaces clearly present the brand logo of "wedu micro degree", and the English name of the product "Ultrasonic Surgical Shears" is marked in the upper right corner to strengthen brand recognition;
Visual guidance in the operation area: the operation panel adopts dark gray background color, and the buttons and interfaces are highlighted in blue to form a natural visual dynamic line, so that medical staff can quickly identify the operation area;
Proportional coordination: The layout of the screen, buttons, and interfaces follows the golden ratio, which is visually comfortable and harmonious, and conforms to the design aesthetics of high-end products.

Oblique view: showing the top step design and side modeling, highlighting the product three-dimensional sense;
Side view: showing the product thickness and side lines, reflecting the compact design;
Back view: display interface and heat dissipation design, taking into account functionality and aesthetics;
Three views: complete presentation of the proportion of the product, size and shape, to verify the consistency of the design.
5. Ergonomic Design Analysis
1. Operating ergonomics
Operating height and viewing angle: the host adopts forward tilting operation panel, and the angle between the screen and the button conforms to the sight height of the medical staff standing operation. The screen and the button can be clearly viewed without bending down, thus reducing the fatigue of long-term operation;
Key and interface layout: the power key is on the left and the interface is on the right, which conforms to the operation habits of most people. The left hand start and stop, the right hand plug and unplug the handle, and the operation process is smooth;
Operating space: the compact body reduces the occupation of the operating area, and the medical staff can operate flexibly around the equipment to adapt to the complex environment of the operating room.
2. Safety of use
Anti-touch design: the operation panel is concave, and the key and interface are in reasonable positions to avoid touching the power supply or interface by mistake during surgery;
Visual recognition: the blue interface and keys are highly eye-catching on the dark gray panel, which can be quickly identified even in the low light environment of the operating room;
No sharp edges and corners: full soft chamfering design, to avoid medical staff in the operation, handling equipment injury, improve the use of safety.
3. Environmental suitability
Compact design: compact body, can be flexibly placed in the surgical cart, operating table, adapt to different operating room space layout;
Easy to clean and disinfect: the surface is matte, without complex gaps, which is convenient for medical staff to quickly clean and disinfect, and meets the requirements of hospital feeling;
Heat dissipation and noise control: The back heat dissipation grille is reasonably designed to ensure the stability of the equipment for long-term surgical operation, while controlling noise without interfering with the surgical environment.
6. multi-scheme comparison (advantages of scheme D-1)
