Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical technology equipment, and in particular to an arc-shaped suture needle storage box. Background Technology

[0002] In modern surgery, curved sutures are a common and indispensable tool, especially in complex procedures such as duodenal surgery, heart valve replacement surgery, and bypass surgery, which often require a large number of curved sutures. These surgical procedures are intricate and typically require forty, fifty, or even more sutures to complete critical suturing tasks. This high-intensity, high-precision operating environment places strict requirements on the management of sutures.

[0003] Utility model patent CN220695303U discloses a surgical suture needle storage and counting box. Its open box design and different slot sizes facilitate the counting and management of suture needles by medical staff. The suture needles are also secured using slots made of permanent magnets. However, it still has the following problems:

[0004] 1. Because they are fixed by magnetic attraction, curved suture needles may become magnetized after prolonged contact with permanent magnets. Using a magnetized curved suture needle during surgery poses significant safety risks. For example, a magnetized curved suture needle may attract surrounding metal debris, which could lead to infection or even complications if surgery is performed under these conditions. During surgery, a magnetized curved suture needle may also be attracted to other metal instruments, thus affecting the surgical procedure.

[0005] 2. Magnetic adsorption is not a suitable method for storing and fixing curved suture needles. When the magnetic force is low, the adsorption and fixation are unreliable. Under vibration or strong shaking, the curved suture needle may shift or even fall off, resulting in damage. When the magnetic force is high, it is inconvenient to take out the curved suture needle.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a convenient and reliable arc-shaped suture needle storage device with a lower safety risk in terms of fixing method. Utility Model Content

[0007] The present invention aims to provide an arc-shaped suture needle storage box to store and fix arc-shaped suture needles more safely and effectively.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0009] An arc-shaped suture needle storage box includes a lid and a body. The body has multiple storage slots. The arc-shaped suture needle storage box also includes a rotating access mechanism and a clamping layer. The clamping layer is slidably connected to the lid. The storage slots have multiple arc-shaped holes.

[0010] Furthermore, the lid has an access port corresponding to the storage slot, and the lid can be detachably installed on the box body via a rotating access mechanism.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotary storage mechanism includes multiple sliding teeth, which are disposed on the inner wall of the edge of the lid. The box body is provided with a sliding groove along the circumference, and the multiple sliding teeth are slidably installed in the sliding groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the box body is also provided with mounting slots. Multiple mounting slots are set on the outer wall of the box body and connected to sliding slots. Multiple mounting slots correspond one-to-one with multiple sliding teeth.

[0013] Furthermore, the box body is equipped with a closing platform, which cooperates with the access port to close the arc-shaped sewing needle storage box.

[0014] Furthermore, the clamping layer includes two or more sliding shafts, and the cover has mounting holes corresponding to the sliding shafts.

[0015] Furthermore, the compression layer has a mating opening, which corresponds to the access opening.

[0016] Preferably, a padding layer is provided at the bottom of the arc-shaped hole.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least one of the following improvements:

[0018] 1. In this invention, the clamping layer is slidably connected to the lid. When the lid is closed, the clamping layer applies uniform pressure to the suture needle, fixing it within the arc-shaped hole of the storage slot. The clamping layer and the arc-shaped hole design that conforms to the shape of the arc-shaped suture needle significantly improve the storage and fixing effect of the suture needle, keeping it stable under bumpy or vibrating conditions, and more safely and effectively avoiding the risk of the suture needle shifting due to vibration or collision.

[0019] 2. When the sliding shaft is pulled up, the clamping layer is lifted, thus relieving pressure on the suture needle and allowing the lid to rotate easily into place without affecting the needle's fixation. After the lid is rotated into place, the sliding shaft can be pressed down, returning the clamping layer to its original position and applying even pressure to the suture needle, firmly securing it within the arc-shaped hole of the storage slot. This operation of the sliding shaft ensures that the suture needle will not shift due to vibration or movement during storage and transportation, significantly improving the storage box's flexibility and the suture needle's secure fixation.

[0020] 3. The rotating access mechanism allows the lid to be selectively opened to access each storage slot, ensuring easy and efficient retrieval of the sewing needles. Simultaneously, the combination of sliding teeth and sliding grooves ensures the lid remains stable during rotation and allows for safe disassembly of the lid through its engagement with the mounting slot, while also providing a convenient disassembly method for easy cleaning and maintenance.

[0021] 4. The padding at the bottom of the arc-shaped hole provides additional support and cushioning for the suture needle. When the suture needle is placed in the storage slot, the padding effectively absorbs external vibrations and impacts, preventing displacement or damage due to bumps or collisions during storage and transportation, maintaining its safety and stability within the storage box. This design significantly improves the protection of the suture needle, ensuring it remains in the optimal position during transportation and storage, avoiding safety hazards caused by external forces.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0031] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances. Example 1

[0032] This embodiment provides an arc-shaped suture needle storage box, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the box includes a lid 1 and a body 2. The body 2 has multiple storage slots 21. The arc-shaped suture needle storage box also includes a rotating access mechanism and a clamping layer 3. The clamping layer 3 is slidably fitted inside the lid 1. The storage slots 21 have multiple arc-shaped holes 211. This design, through the combination of the clamping layer 3 and the arc-shaped holes 211, allows the clamping layer 3 to apply uniform pressure to the suture needle when the lid 1 is closed, fixing the suture needle within the arc-shaped holes 211 of the storage slots 21, thus significantly improving the storage and securing effect of the suture needle. The arc-shaped holes 211 conform to the shape of the suture needle, keeping it stable under bumps or vibrations, avoiding the risk of displacement due to vibration or collision, and ensuring greater safety of the suture needle during storage and transportation.

[0033] It should be noted that the compression layer 3 is made of dense soft padding, such as silicone foam, polyurethane foam (PU foam), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer foam (EVA foam), etc.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the lid 1 has an access port 11 corresponding to the storage slot 21. The lid 1 is detachably mounted to the body 2 via a rotating access mechanism. This rotating mechanism allows the lid 1 to selectively open specific storage slots 21 by rotation, without fully opening the lid, greatly improving ease of operation and efficiency. With this design, surgeons can quickly retrieve or insert the required sutures without affecting other sutures.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 4As shown, the rotating storage mechanism includes multiple sliding teeth 12, which are disposed on the inner wall of the edge of the lid 1. The box body 2 has a circumferentially circumferentially provided sliding groove 22, and the multiple sliding teeth 12 are slidably installed within the sliding groove 22. When the lid 1 rotates, the sliding teeth 12 cooperate with the sliding groove 22 to ensure that the lid 1 can rotate smoothly and accurately align above each storage slot 21, maintaining operational stability. This design ensures that the lid 1 will not shift or loosen during operation, improving the operational stability and safety of the storage box.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the box body 2 also has mounting grooves 23. Multiple mounting grooves 23 are disposed on the outer wall of the box body 2 and connected to sliding grooves 22. The multiple mounting grooves 23 correspond one-to-one with multiple sliding teeth 12. The design of the mounting grooves 23 makes it easy to install and remove the box cover 1. When cleaning or maintenance is required, the user only needs to align the sliding teeth 12 with the mounting grooves 23 to easily remove the box cover 1 from the box body 2, simplifying the cleaning and maintenance process of the equipment. In this embodiment, damping is provided between the sliding groove 22, the mounting groove 23 and the sliding teeth 12, and the mounting groove 23 is designed as a stepped groove to avoid misoperation and accidents. Obviously, in other embodiments, fasteners can also be added between the box cover 1 and the box body 2 for limiting.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the box body 2 is provided with a closing platform 24, which cooperates with the access port 11 to close the arc-shaped sewing needle storage box. The closing platform 24 is designed on the box body 2 and precisely aligned with the access port 11 on the box lid 1. When the box lid 1 is closed, the closing platform 24 can effectively seal the access port 11, preventing the sewing needle from being accidentally exposed or falling off during transportation and storage, thereby improving the safety performance of the storage box.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the clamping layer 3 includes two or more sliding shafts 31, and the lid 1 has mounting holes 13 corresponding to the sliding shafts 31. The sliding shaft 31 design allows the clamping layer 3 to apply pressure accurately when the lid 1 is closed, ensuring the suture needle is securely fixed. When the surgeon pulls up the sliding shaft 31, the clamping layer 3 is lifted, relieving the pressure on the suture needle, allowing the lid 1 to easily rotate into place, avoiding any impact on the suture needle's fixation. The sliding shaft 31 design significantly improves the flexibility and ease of use of the storage box.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the clamping layer 3 has a mating opening 32, which corresponds to the access opening 11. The mating opening 32 is designed to be an opening with the same shape as the access opening 11, ensuring that the mating opening 32 and the access opening 11 are precisely aligned when the clamping layer 3 is pressed down, preventing the clamping layer 3 from blocking the access opening 11 and thus not affecting the function of retrieving the sewing needle. The mating opening 32, the access opening 11, the storage slot 21, and the closing platform 24 are all circumferentially arranged in a fan shape. This design ensures a tight fit of the structure, making the entire operation process smoother and improving the overall usability of the storage box.

[0040] In routine medical procedures, the management and use of curved suture needles are crucial aspects of surgical procedures. To ensure the safe storage and convenient access of suture needles before and after surgery, medical teams can use the curved suture needle storage box described in this embodiment. The following is a general application method:

[0041] 1. Preparation stage:

[0042] (1) During the surgical preparation stage, the medical device manager places the arc-shaped suture needles of different specifications into the respective fan-shaped storage slots 21 of the storage box. Each storage slot 21 has an arc-shaped hole 211 that fits the shape of the suture needle, so that the arc-shaped suture needle can be securely embedded in it.

[0043] (2) Managers can attach labels of the corresponding specifications next to each fan-shaped storage slot 21 to facilitate quick identification and retrieval of the corresponding arc-shaped suture needles during the operation.

[0044] (3) Confirm that the pressing layer 3 has been pulled up to the raised state to ensure that the arc-shaped suture needle is not subjected to additional pressure after being inserted. At this time, the box cover 1 can be freely rotated to the positions of each access port 11 to facilitate the placement of the arc-shaped suture needle.

[0045] 2. Usage phase:

[0046] (1) During the operation, the surgeon rotates the box cover 1 so that the access port 11 is aligned with the storage slot 21 where the arc-shaped suture needle to be used is located.

[0047] (2) The surgeon can easily take out the required size of the arc-shaped suture needle through the access port 11. The design of the port 32 ensures that the pressure layer 3 will not block the access port 11, and the operation of taking out the arc-shaped suture needle can be carried out smoothly.

[0048] 3. Postoperative examination and cleanup:

[0049] (1) After the operation, the surgical staff will take stock of the arc-shaped suture needles in the storage box. By checking the status of each arc-shaped hole 211, it can be quickly confirmed whether the arc-shaped suture needles in each storage slot 21 are complete, and ensure that all used arc-shaped suture needles have been properly returned to their places.

[0050] (2) Press down the pressing layer 3 through the sliding shaft 31. Close the box cover 1 and confirm that the closing platform 24 and the access port 11 are tightly fitted to ensure that the storage box is well sealed during transportation and storage, and to prevent the arc-shaped sewing needle from falling off or shifting.

[0051] 4. Cleaning and maintenance:

[0052] (1) When cleaning and maintenance are required, the medical device administrator can remove the cover 1 by rotating the cover 1 and aligning it with the mounting slot 23.

[0053] (2) The disassembled lid 1 and body 2 can be cleaned and disinfected separately to ensure that they meet medical and health standards for the next use.

[0054] By using the arc-shaped suture needle storage box of this embodiment, the medical team can safely and reliably store arc-shaped suture needles, and also conveniently count and manage suture needles of different sizes. The design of the arc-shaped hole 211 and the label of the fan-shaped storage slot 21 help improve management efficiency and ensure accuracy and safety during surgery. Example 2

[0055] Reference Figure 5 Based on Embodiment 1, in Embodiment 2, a padding layer 2111 is provided at the bottom of the arc-shaped hole 211. The padding layer 2111 can be made of the same material as the compression layer 3. The padding layer 2111 at the bottom of the arc-shaped hole 211 is mainly used to provide additional support and cushioning for the suture needle. This padding layer 2111 is designed to effectively absorb external vibrations and impacts, reducing the risk of suture needle displacement caused by bumps during transportation or operation. In addition, the padding layer 2111 can also provide a soft contact surface during the placement of the suture needle, preventing the suture needle from being subjected to hard impacts, further improving the safety of the suture needle in the storage box. By setting the padding layer 2111 at the bottom of the arc-shaped hole 211, the stability and safety of the suture needle during storage and transportation are ensured, and the protective effect of the entire storage process is optimized.
