Detectable textile artifact for use in healing, medical, surgical and similar procedures.

Description

1 / 6 "Detectable textile artifact for use in healing, medical, surgical and similar procedures." From the technical application sector

[001] This is a product belonging to the field of medical-hospital materials, usable in any location where health services are performed, such as hospitals, emergency rooms, clinics, laboratories, posts, health units and centers in general, outpatient clinics, etc. From the artifact

[002] The aforementioned product falls more precisely within the operational field of surgical compresses, which can be presented in various types, such as: gauze (cotton or synthetic), adhesive or non-adhesive, hydrocolloids (for chronic wounds), antimicrobial (with antibacterial agents), intended for hemorrhage control, wound protection, infection prevention, absorption of body fluids, support and stability for wounds, among other similar purposes, also having characteristics such as: sterile or not, variable dimensions, absorbent, tensile resistant and biocompatible. Of the existing problems

[003] With regard to the specific type of object in question, it was observed that conventional artifacts present a greater difficulty of visualization in procedures that require Petition 870250059685, dated 07 / 14 / 2025, page 5 / 11 2 / 6 also the acquisition of auxiliary images by ionizing radiation (X-ray), depending on the position of the tissue within the body and the amount of secretions, which may cover or mask the radiopaque wire, requiring, in these cases, the complex, uncomfortable, invasive, careful and not always desirable work of opening the patient for verification. State of the art

[004] Regarding the state of the art, document no. BR8401443 can be cited, for example, relating to a surgical compress and its respective production process, comprising a warp-knitted body portion and a strap-shaped device suitable for its manipulation, formed from two superimposed layers on a knitting machine with two needle bars, with the respective edges extending laterally and / or longitudinally from each of the layers, joined by interknitting, said surgical compress being able to be cut from a continuous strip formed by a continuous knitting length of the body portion fabric and the strap-shaped device fabric, suitable for manipulation with a side band portion of the fabrics, being knitted together at intervals, the individual surgical compresses being separated from the strip of compresses cut through the side band portions at intervals,so that, notwithstanding its field, Petition 870250059685, dated 07 / 14 / 2025, page 6 / 11 3 / 6 operational similar, its final product differs conceptually from the constructive and functional characteristics idealized and realized in the object of the patent application in question, as will be clarified in the paragraphs that follow. Regarding the object and its respective purposes.

[005] Considering only some of the problems mentioned above and with the purpose of solving them as adequately as possible, as well as with the intention of providing the health sector with a differentiated and effective model of surgical compress and its corresponding operational purpose, the detectable textile artifact for use in curative, medical, surgical and similar procedures in question was conceived, designed and developed, consisting of a surgical compress, properly speaking and directed to the sterile operating field, with a radiopaque element, being indicated for surgeries in the absorption of blood and secretions, non-adherent (hemostatic) barrier in the containment of hemorrhages, and also as a traumatic barrier for viscera and tissues. Regarding construction aspects

[006] The surgical compress now revealed consists of a soft, neutral, and highly absorbent fabric, made from 100% cotton, with a plain weave (taffeta), with the gauze layers fixed together to prevent them from slipping, in bleached material (free from impurities, optical brighteners, and residue of Petition 870250059685, dated 07 / 14 / 2025, page 7 / 11 4 / 6 starch), equipped with a fixation device in the form of a free loop, and overlock finish, presented as sterile and with six to twelve radiopaque elements finished in a harmless material, impregnated with at least 55% barium sulfate, firmly fixed in the operative field from one end to the other, and further sterilized by ethylene oxide, packaged in surgical grade paper film envelopes (PGC) and with aseptic opening. Regarding the advantages, differences, and technical effects achieved

[007] In relation to these aspects, in addition to the specific and differentiated combination and constructive arrangement of its elements, the aforementioned surgical textile artifact has the advantage that the radiopaque threads cover a larger area of ​​the fabric weave, allowing the product to be more easily detected by X-ray, especially when it is inside the human body, combined with the presence of a significant quantity of the aforementioned threads (in this case, six to twelve) available in the fabric weave from one end to the other, with the sterile surgical field compress acting as a mechanical agent in order to increase in volume by absorbing blood, determining the pressure on the bleeding site and also acting in a way to provide a base on which platelets can aggregate and form a clot, thus creating a mechanical barrier to prevent bleeding,since applying direct pressure to the injured areas provides temporary control of bleeding, Petition 870250059685, dated 07 / 14 / 2025, page 8 / 11 5 / 6 local, further aided by the high absorption capacity of liquids, blood and secretions, also remembering that by increasing the coverage area of ​​the radiopaque thread in the product, as well as the concentration of barium sulfate, it will be quickly detected. From the graphic representation of the object

[008] In order to better understand the matter now revealed, this description is also accompanied by an illustrative image of the surgical compress model in question, in which: Figure 1 shows a front view of the aforementioned textile artifact, detectable for use in curative, medical, surgical and similar procedures. From the detailed and referential description

[009] Based on the report presented herein, which can be evaluated in conjunction with the figure described above, the object of the patent application in question refers to a detectable textile artifact for use in curative, medical, surgical and similar procedures, consisting of a surgical compress (1) made of a soft, neutral and highly absorbent fabric, obtained from 100% cotton, with a plain weave (taffeta), with the gauze layers fixed together in such a way as to prevent them from slipping, in bleached material (free of impurities, optical brighteners and starch residue), equipped with a fastening device, in the form of a free loop (2), and finished in Petition 870250059685, dated 07 / 14 / 2025, page 9 / 11 6 / 6 overlock, presented as sterile and with six to twelve radiopaque elements (3) finished in a harmless material, impregnated with at least 55% barium sulfate, firmly fixed in the operating field from one end to the other, and further sterilized by ethylene oxide, packaged in surgical grade paper film envelopes (PGC) and with aseptic opening. Conclusion

[010] In view of all that has been presented and duly illustrated, it is understood that the disclosed object brings together a series of advantages inherent to its applicability, involving novelty and inventive activity, in addition to susceptibility to industrial application, making it deserving of the protection now sought.
