Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically to a kit for securing medical sharps containers. Background Technology

[0002] Medical sharps refer to various items that can pierce the skin, including needles such as injection needles, puncture needles, infusion needles, and suture needles, as well as various medical or testing sharps, glass slides, broken glass test tubes, fixed dentures, exposed metal wires, and laboratory testing equipment. Medical sharps often contain patients' blood or bodily fluids. If medical staff or hospital personnel are pricked or scratched by used medical sharps, they are at high risk of contracting diseases, increasing the risk of exposure. Therefore, to prevent such situations, avoid cross-infection, and facilitate the unified collection and disposal of medical sharps, medical sharps containers were invented. However, existing medical sharps containers have limited functionality, making it inconvenient for medical staff to separate needles from syringes or infusion needles from infusion tubing. Furthermore, the sealing of the container after use is not very secure. Based on these issues, the inventors have developed a kit to stabilize medical sharps containers. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the above issues, this invention provides a stable medical sharps container kit. This invention is multifunctional, with a reusable fixing base that increases the stability of the sharps container. It facilitates the direct separation of injection needles and infusion needles by medical personnel on the sharps container and better seals the sharps container, preventing accidental tipping and opening during transportation and reducing the risk of exposure during transport.

[0004] To address the above technical problems, this invention provides a stable medical sharps container kit, comprising a fixed base, a sharps container, and a lid that presses onto the top of the sharps container. Both the sharps container and the lid have circular cross-sections. The fixed base has a fixing groove at its top, and the bottom of the sharps container is located within the fixing groove. The lid has a square dispensing opening at its top, and a strip-shaped block is provided on one side of the dispensing opening. The length of the strip-shaped block is aligned with the width of the dispensing opening. A cutting strip that can move back and forth along the length of the strip-shaped block is provided at one end of the strip-shaped block facing the dispensing opening, and the cutting strip is aligned with the length of the dispensing opening. A compression strip parallel to the cutting strip is provided at the other end of the strip-shaped block facing the dispensing opening, away from the cutting strip.

[0005] The top of the cutting strip facing the extrusion strip has a mounting groove along the length of the cutting strip. The end of the mounting groove away from the strip block passes through the cutting strip. A cutting blade is provided in the mounting groove, and the side of the cutting blade facing the extrusion strip extends out of the mounting groove. The top of the cutting strip near the extrusion strip has a shielding strip along the length of the cutting strip. The side of the shielding strip facing the extrusion strip protrudes from the side of the cutting blade facing the extrusion strip.

[0006] The top of the shielding strip away from the strip block has a through hole extending through the thickness direction of the shielding strip. A cylindrical rod with its top extending through the through hole is located inside the through hole. A limiting block is located at the top of the cylindrical rod, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the limiting block is larger than that of the cylindrical rod. A stop bar is provided on the cylindrical rod between the limiting block and the shielding strip, sleeved around the outer circumference of the cylindrical rod and rotatable around its circumference. One end of the stop bar is sleeved with the cylindrical rod. A locking protrusion is located at the bottom of the cylindrical rod within the through hole. A groove is provided at the top of the shielding strip that engages with the locking protrusion. The outer wall of the cylindrical rod is bonded to the inner wall of the through hole. Pressing the cylindrical rod forcefully towards the shielding strip can separate the cylindrical rod from the shielding strip, thereby pressing the locking protrusion into the groove.

[0007] An embedding groove is provided on the inner wall of the side of the feeding port away from the extrusion strip. A baffle is provided in the embedding groove. The side of the baffle close to the extrusion strip protrudes from the embedding groove.

A soft rubber plug is provided at the top of the end of the baffle that protrudes from the embedding groove. The soft rubber plug is located on the side of the cutting strip away from the strip block. The baffle can be fixedly connected to the cutting strip or not fixedly connected through the soft rubber plug.

[0008] Furthermore, the side of the strip block facing the cutting strip is provided with a slide rail arranged along the length direction of the strip block, and the end of the cutting strip facing the strip block is provided with a slider located in the slide rail.

[0009] Furthermore, the top of the baffle is provided with a second slide, the length direction of which is set along the length direction of the cutting strip, and the bottom of the soft rubber plug is provided with a second slider located in the second slide; the side of the cutting strip facing the soft rubber plug is provided with a connecting groove, and the end of the soft rubber plug near the cutting strip can be inserted into the connecting groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixed base has a cavity, and the top of the cavity has a water injection hole that passes through the top of the fixed base. The water injection hole is equipped with a sealing plug.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer wall of the sharps container is provided with a cylindrical plastic cover surrounding the outer wall of the sharps container. One end of the plastic cover connected to the sharps container is located outside the fixing groove, and the end of the plastic cover away from the sharps container is provided with a tightening rope.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the present invention has a relatively simple structure and multiple functions. The plastic cover can prevent liquid medicine or other liquids from dripping onto the fixed base, and can also further fix the cover to the sharps container, so that the fixed base can be reused. At the same time, after the sharps container is used up, it can be further sealed to reduce the probability of the sharps container being opened due to accidents during transportation, thereby further reducing the risk of exposure during transportation. In addition, the fixed base increases the stability of the sharps container, making it easy for medical staff to directly separate the injection needle from the sharps container with one hand, and also making it easy to separate the infusion set needle.

The stop lever 15, together with the cutting strip 7 and the squeezing strip 8, surrounds the infusion needle within the space they form. Then, push the cutting strip. 7. Until the shielding strip 11 is at the top of the squeezing strip 8, the blade of the cutting blade 10 presses against the side of the squeezing strip 8 facing the cutting strip 7. All the infusion needles are separated from the infusion tubing and fall into the sharps container. At this time, the function of the stop bar 15 is to prevent some infusion tubing from being squeezed out of the cutting blade 10's reach when the cutting strip 7 moves toward the squeezing strip 8, further facilitating the user to cut it in one go. After cutting, the cutting strip 7 can be pushed back. When the amount of sharps in the sharps container reaches the processing capacity, push the soft rubber stopper 21 toward the connecting groove 26. After inserting the soft rubber stopper 21 into the connecting groove 26, push the cutting strip 7. The cutting strip 7 drives the baffle 19 to move toward the side where the squeezing strip 8 is located. When the shielding strip 11 is at the top of the squeezing strip 8, the cutting blade... When the blade of 10 presses against the side of the extrusion strip 8 facing the cutting strip 7, the end of the baffle 19 facing the connecting groove 20 is embedded in the connecting groove 20, and the feeding port 5 is completely blocked by the baffle 19. Then, the baffle rod 15 is rotated to a position parallel to the extrusion strip 8 and directly above the extrusion strip 8, and the cylindrical rod 13 is pressed down to separate the cylindrical rod 13 from the inner wall of the perforation 12. The locking protrusion 16 is inserted into the locking groove 17, and the baffle 19 is completely fixed at this time, so that it will not accidentally slip open during transportation. At the same time, the cutting blade 10 is also fixed to prevent the cutting blade 10 from slipping off during transportation. Then, the tightening rope 31 is opened, the plastic cover 30 is lifted up and placed on top of the cover 3, and then the tightening rope 31 is tightened and tied to start the recycling process.
