Embodiment Construction

[0020] Referring to the drawings, an assembly 10 shows a package 12 with a surgical blade tip 14 disposed therein. The combination 10 is sterilized for operating room use and is provided with an outer pouch in which the combination 10 is packaged so as to maintain sterility.

[0021] Package 12 includes a main body portion 16 with a closed end 18, an open end 20, and a side wall 22 extending therebetween. The body portion 16 defines an interior 24 for receiving the surgical blade tip 14, preferably without a portion of the surgical blade tip 14 extending therefrom. At least two fixing claws 26 extend inwardly from the side wall 22 into the interior 24 , preferably, two of the fixing claws 26 provided are arranged at diametrically opposite positions on the main body portion 16 . The securing pawl 26 is arranged to be deflectable. refer to figure 1 , the fixing claw 26 is formed on a cantilever 28 formed in the side wall 22 . The outward deflection of the securing pawl 26 ca...

Abstract

A package for a surgical blade tip is provided herein. The package cooperates with the surgical blade tip to properly retain it and facilitate mounting onto a surgical blade handle. In one aspect, the invention includes a package having a body with a side wall and at least two detents extending inwardly from the side wall. In addition, a surgical blade tip is provided having an adaptor with a blade extending therefrom. The adaptor includes at least two recesses formed therein. The surgical blade tip is disposed in the package with the detents being at least partially inserted into the recesses. Also, the detents are configured to apply a retentive force to the adaptor to retain the adaptor in a first position and configured to deflect with a predetermined amount of torque being applied to the surgical blade tip so as to permit the adaptor to rotate from the first position to a second position where the detents are not inserted into the recesses. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a package may be provided which maintains a blade of a surgical blade tip in spaced relationship so as to minimize contamination thereof. In addition, the interengagement of the detents and the recesses allows for proper retention of the surgical blade tip during mounting onto a surgical blade handle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a package for the tip of a surgical blade. Background technique [0002] Packaging of surgical blade tips is known in the prior art. In the prior art, surgical blade ends are generally provided in two forms, those that require a cartridge for assembly to the scalpel handle and those plastic ends that do not require a cartridge for assembly to the scalpel handle Form the end of the scalpel blade. Both versions of the knife tip are assembled by hand or using a mechanical device such as a hemostat. This is generally an unsafe practice due to exposed points or cut edges. Surgical knife handles typically have collets that are reusable on the end of a surgical blade in a single-use package. Knife handles are sanitized between uses, including collets. Sterilization may be difficult due to the structure of the chuck. Furthermore, collets are often misplaced or lost and must be replaced for use. In the prior art, surgical...
