Medical cotton ball storage tank with cotton ball extruding and wetting mechanism

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of machinery. The invention discloses a medical cotton ball storage tank with a cotton ball extruding and wetting mechanism. The medical cotton ball storage tank comprises a tank and a tank cover; the tank comprises a bottom plate and a side plate; the bottom plate and the side plate are connected through an arc-shaped transition part to form the tank;the bottom plate is a conical bottom plate which gradually expands from top to bottom; an annular inner side plate is arranged in the tank body; the inner side plate divides an inner cavity of the tank body into a main chamber and a flow guide chamber which are arranged inside and outside; the flow guide chamber is defined by the inner side plate and the side plate; and a gap is reserved between the bottom of the inner side plate and the inner wall of the tank body. The medical cotton ball storage tank also comprises a cotton ball extruding and wetting mechanism; the cotton ball extruding andwetting mechanism comprises a piston and a handle for driving the piston to slide up and down; a through hole for the handle to pass through is formed in the tank cover; the outer side wall of the piston is in interference fit with the inner wall of the inner side plate; a groove matched with the top plate is formed in the bottom of the piston; and the top of the piston is in a conical shape witha narrow upper part and a wide lower part. The medical cotton ball storage tank can ensure that cotton balls at the edge of upper-layer are in a wetting state.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of machinery, in particular to a storage device for medical cotton balls. Background technique [0002] In clinical departments, dressings should be frequently changed and disinfected for patients after surgery, so as to observe wound healing and control wound infection. In actual clinical application, medical staff generally use iron cylinders to manufacture and store sterile cotton balls. [0003] Under normal circumstances, medical staff put sterile cotton balls into the iron tank, then pour alcohol or povidone-iodine, use sterile forceps to fully soak the cotton balls, and leave them for later use. During use, the medical staff uses sterile tweezers to clip the cotton ball, put it in the dressing changing bowl, and then wipe the wound for the patient. [0004] However, due to the lack of airtightness in the cylinder used for storing cotton balls, disinfectants such as alcohol and povidone-iodine will e...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This method has the problem of wasting disinfectant solution. A 500mL bottle of povidone-iodine costs about 40-50 yuan in the market. Using this method, one bottle is replaced every two days on average.

Moreover, the existing cylinder for storing cotton balls has a flat bottom, which is not conducive to ensuring the full use of disinfectant
