Abstract
This master's thesis demonstrates the proper approach to problem-solving by carefully evaluating all the details and establishing guidelines in collaboration with surgeons to create the best product on the market. The foundation of this project was laid by compiling a list of functions, requirements, and desires with the help of expert reports and surgeon feedback after brainstorming, sketching different ideas, and exploring various options to improve the current impactor or develop a new solution. However, it was determined that the current version would require too much work to optimize and would not fulfill the demands as some other designs might. Therefore, a new idea was developed by observing competitors and creating a similar but different solution compatible with the shape of EcoFit 2M implants. After numerous prototypes and iterations, the redesign addressed all the functions, requirements, and wishes set at the beginning of this task and objectively made an excellent instrument, the impactor for total hip arthroplasty, hopefully improving the quality and outcomes of orthopedic surgeries.
