Problems solved by technology

If the surgical drape is gone without being noticed, it may be left in the patient's body for a period of time, causing discomfort to the patient and seeking medical attention again
And cause the patient to have to undergo a second operation to find the missing surgical drape at the site of the previous operation and remove it
[0005] However, it is still extremely difficult to judge whether the surgical drape is really indwelling in the patient without performing a second surgery. surgical drapes
[0006] Furthermore, in this case, not only the patient suffers innocently, but the medical personnel are also easily involved in misdiagnosis lawsuits, which will cost them a lot

Embodiment Construction

[0018] Embodiments of the present invention and the referenced drawings will be described in detail below. The reference symbols used in the drawings are the same as those used in the examples.

[0019] The surgical drape of the present invention comprises a piece of textile, such as a single layer of 100% cotton. The textile may also consist of synthetic materials or be multi-layered and may be dyed or undyed and may be dyed in any desired colour. At least one side of the textile is folded and sewn to form a hem. In one embodiment of the present invention, three sides of the surgical drape have pleats, but one, two, three, or all four sides may be pleated or not pleated.

[0020] The thread used to sew the hem, for example, may be a synthetic thread. The stitches can be the same color as the drapes, but for added benefit, the stitches can be a different color than the drapes so that the drapes can be easily identified as x-ray detectable.

[0021] Before or during sewing,...

Abstract

A surgical towel with x-ray detectable material which eliminates the need for re-entry into a patent after operating in situations where operating towels are missing. The surgical towel comprises a sheet of fabric having x-ray detectable material sewn inside the hem woven into or otherwise attached to the fabric. The hem can be stitched with a thread of a different color than the color of the fabric to make the towel easily identifiable as being x-ray detectable. The x-ray detectable material can easily be observed by medical personnel upon examination of an x-ray. If no x-ray detectable material is observed, unnecessary re-entry into the patient is prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a surgical towel, and in particular discloses a surgical towel containing X-ray detectable materials, which can save patients from being unable to find the surgical towel after the operation or may not be able to find the surgical towel. In some cases, it is necessary to operate on the patient again. Background technique [0002] Before the operation, medical personnel place surgical drapes around the site where the patient will be operated on to prepare for the operation. This site is generally known as the incision site. These surgical drapes need to be fixed and overlapped around the incision. In addition, surgical drapes can also be placed in trays for draining surgical instruments. [0003] The purpose of surgical towels is to establish a clean and hygienic working environment for surgery so that the amount of blood splashed or sprayed is reduced. But during the operation, when the surgeon performs an incision,...
