Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of placement cabinets, in particular to a placement cabinet for sterile items in an operating room. Background Art

[0002] Sterile items in the operating room are mainly classified into surgical instrument kits (such as large mechanical kits and medium mechanical kits), surgical dressing kits (such as debridement kits (OR)) and disposable supplies kits. The placement of sterile items in the operating room requires the use of a dedicated placement cabinet. The sterile item placement cabinet in the operating room is an indispensable and important equipment in the operating room. It is mainly used to store and manage sterile items that have undergone strict sterilization treatment to ensure the safety and sterility requirements of the surgical process. Existing sterile item placement cabinets in operating rooms generally have multiple layers of placement platforms from bottom to top. In order to avoid the expiration of sterile items in the operating room, the placement and use of sterile items in the operating room follow the left-in-right-out principle, that is, the sterile items in the operating room are taken from the rightmost side of the placement platform, and new sterile items of the same type are added from the left. Nursing staff generally place similar sterile items in the operating room on the corresponding layer of placement platform according to the left-in-right-out principle, and the sterile items of the same type on each layer of placement platform are placed closely together in sequence.

[0003] Since sterile items in the operating room need to be placed and taken out according to the principle of left-in and right-out, that is, they need to be placed from the left and taken from the right, although this can reduce the risk of misuse of expired sterile items in the operating room, when replenishing new sterile items in the operating room, the nursing staff needs to push the remaining similar sterile items on the corresponding layer of placement components to the right as a whole to reveal the space that needs to be newly replenished, and then replenish the new similar sterile items in the operating room. This way of replenishing sterile items in the operating room is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive, reducing the work efficiency of nursing staff; and some nursing staff, in order to save trouble, will directly replenish new similar sterile items in the operating room on the right side of the placement cabinet, which is also prone to cause the risk of misuse of expired items. Therefore, in response to the above situation, a sterile item placement cabinet for the operating room is proposed. Utility Model Content
