Faced with the growing healthcare challenges of an aging society in Taiwan, the Translational Research Center for Innovative Medical Devices at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) has integrated interdisciplinary R&D achievements to present six cutting-edge smart healthcare technologies at this April’s ATLife: Taiwan Assistive Technology and Long-Term Care Exhibition.

These innovations focus on four key areas—bone health, neurodegeneration, swallowing rehabilitation, and hearing care—offering comprehensive responses to the urgent needs of elderly care and long-term health management. The showcase highlights NYCU’s strong capability in translating research innovation into clinical application.

骨科手術過程中，常須對骨頭進行塑形（Bone Shaping），並配合骨科手術沖洗（Orthopedic Surgical Irrigation），保持傷口清潔與手術視野。然而，在切削骨頭的過程中，許多寶貴的骨碎片/骨粉，常隨著沖洗液體透過真空吸引裝置（Vacuum Suction Device）作為廢液而排除。

小發明大創舉「自體骨屑收集器」，安裝簡便，僅需連接於廢液桶的抽吸管與真空吸引裝置之間，不用任何動力且可接於臨床常規轉接頭，即可從骨科手術沖洗之廢液到達廢液桶之前，自動過濾自體骨，留住碎骨同時排除廢液。自體骨屑收集器設計有自動分層功能，可過篩出大、小顆碎骨，以供醫師臨床後續補骨手術使用。因此可將手術廢液轉化為有價值的自體骨粉，促進骨修復與再利用。

奇美醫院黃建榮醫師表示，人工骨粉與異體骨成本高且可能導致排斥與流失。相較之下，自體骨具優異的生長與癒合能力，但需取自患者其他部位，挖東牆補西牆，影響健康骨質。若能回收利用自體骨，植入骨折部位，不僅促進癒合，還能減少替代骨的額外負擔，為患者帶來福音。

陽明交大創新醫材轉譯研發中心主任林峻立教授表示，本產品結合中心研發能量與奇美醫院常見之臨床需求，經過中心設計、製造、功能性測試及生物相容性評估，並成功取得TFDA上市許可(衛部醫器字壹字第010310號)。研發團隊經反覆試驗，確保安全有效並提升手術效率。產品特別設計分層濾網，可自動篩選不同大小的骨碎片，減少醫師手動挑選碎骨，並適應各種補骨需求。有別於市售產品，醫師須從過濾物中慢慢挑選碎骨。為台灣首創且唯一國產骨屑收集之上市醫療器材。

臨床需求出發，臨床應用落地為陽明交大創新醫材轉譯研發中心秉持核心理念，專注於開發兼具安全性與有效性的醫療產品，本產品的研發與應用正是理念實踐的成功典範。本產品除取得TFDA上市許許可，也已成功取得中華民國專利，並於奇美醫院進行臨床試驗，成功應用於脊椎融合與股骨骨折手術並已將結果發表於國際學術期刊 (Expert Review of Medical Devices)。為學術單位與醫院及產業合作成功開發醫療器材的典範，對推動創新醫材研發提升全球醫療競爭力有重要貢獻。
