This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,097.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

A novel application of the curtain rod support assembly technology to securely attach medical devices, wearable sensors, prosthetic limbs, and cosmetic devices to a patient's or user's skin, providing a reliable and convenient solution for various industries.

Background and Problem Solved

The original curtain rod support assembly patent, while effective for its intended purpose, has limitations in terms of its adaptability to other fields. The new inventive concept addresses the need for a secure and reliable attachment method for medical and cosmetic devices, which is not adequately addressed by current solutions.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The transcutaneous support assembly consists of an anchoring portion and a receptacle portion. The anchoring portion is designed to penetrate the patient's or user's skin, while the receptacle portion is configured to retain the medical device, wearable sensor, prosthetic limb, or cosmetic device. The support assembly ensures a stable and secure attachment, allowing for comfortable and convenient use of the attached device.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce a novel application of the original patent's technology to the medical and cosmetic fields, providing a non-obvious solution to the problem of secure attachment. The inventive step lies in the adaptation of the support assembly's design to accommodate the specific requirements of transcutaneous attachment.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments may include varying the material and design of the anchoring portion to accommodate different skin types or device requirements. Variations may also include adjustable receptacle portions to accommodate devices of different sizes or shapes.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The transcutaneous support assembly has significant commercial potential in the medical device, wearable technology, prosthetics, and cosmetic industries, offering a reliable and convenient solution for secure attachment. Target markets include hospitals, clinics, and medical device manufacturers, as well as consumers seeking convenient and reliable attachment solutions for wearable devices and cosmetic applications.
