Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a sharps box for disassembling insulin pen needles. Background Art

[0002] An insulin pen is a pen cover device that can be inserted into an insulin pen cartridge and is used to inject insulin. Before injecting insulin, an insulin needle must be installed on the front end of the insulin pen. The insulin pen needle is different from an ordinary syringe needle. An ordinary syringe needle is directly placed on the syringe nipple. When handling sharp objects, use a traditional sharps box to slide the needle from the large hole to the small hole, and then lift it up to separate the needle. The insulin pen needle is threaded and rotated to the front end of the insulin pen, so it cannot be separated using a traditional sharps box.

[0003] At present, there are mainly the following ways for nurses to separate insulin pen needles in clinical practice: 1. Unscrew the insulin pen needle by hand and throw it back into the sharps box; 2. Put the outer cover of the insulin pen needle back onto the insulin needle, cover the needle tip, and then unscrew the needle; 3. Use hemostatic forceps to clamp the insulin needle and use the hemostatic forceps to unscrew the needle. Because the insulin needle is ultra-thin and ultra-short, it is very easy to cause needlestick injuries and iatrogenic infections when removing it by hand. In addition, clinical nursing operation specifications require that the needle must be re-covered with one hand to avoid being stabbed. The outer cover of the insulin needle is short and round, and it is not easy to re-cover the needle with one hand. Re-covering it with both hands can also easily cause nurses to be stabbed by needles. When using hemostatic forceps to separate the insulin pen needle, the inconvenience of operation increases the workload of nurses. Utility Model Content

It should be noted that the support plate 7 is slidably set in the slide groove away from one end of the drive adjustment component, and the slide groove is opened in the box cover 2. The support plate 7 cooperates with the slide groove to improve its stability during movement and ensure its reliability during support. The positioning groove 6 of the needle positioning sleeve 5 corresponds to the protrusion of the outer ring of the insulin pen needle. The box cover 2 is also provided with a conventional needle disassembly port, and a flip cover is provided on the disassembly port, so that the sharp tool box is not only suitable for the disassembly of insulin pen needles but also for the disassembly of conventional syringe needles. This technology is an existing mature technology and will not be elaborated on. The sharp tool box body 1, the box cover 2, and the drive adjustment component are all disposable items to avoid pollution caused by repeated use.
