Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, specifically relating to a sterile storage tray for intraoperative pathological specimens. Background Technology
[0002] In breast-conserving surgery for early-stage breast cancer, collecting multiple pathological specimens, such as sentinel lymph nodes in the axilla and breast margins, is a crucial step. These specimens play a decisive role in determining whether breast-conserving surgery can be performed and whether the extent of tumor resection is sufficient. Therefore, how to properly, quickly, and accurately preserve these pathological specimens on the operating table and send them for testing as soon as possible has become a key aspect of the surgical procedure.
[0003] However, there is currently a lack of dedicated containers for storing rapid intraoperative pathological specimens. In clinical practice, this step is usually done by scrub nurses who randomly label and store the materials available on the operating table. Then, the circulating nurse needs to prepare specimen bottles, manually label and check each one, and finally send the specimens for testing. This approach has obvious shortcomings: because the amount of pathological specimens collected is small, they are easily confused or even lost during storage and transportation; also, because there are many sampling points (possibly more than ten), scrub nurses and circulating nurses need to store and check them separately on and off the operating table, which is quite time-consuming and prolongs the ineffective waiting time during the operation. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sterile storage tray for intraoperative pathological specimens to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A sterile storage tray for intraoperative pathological specimens, comprising:
[0007] Sterile specimen tray;
[0008] The top of the sterile specimen tray has several pathological storage slots, each of which is equipped with a sealing cover. Each of the sealing covers has a sealing gasket at its bottom and a handle on one side of its top. Each of the pathological storage slots has a sealing ring installed on the upper part of its inner wall. The top of the sterile specimen tray is equipped with several magnetic blocks.
[0009] The positioning mechanism comprises four parts, which are respectively installed at the four corners of the bottom of the sterile specimen tray.
[0010] Preferably, each of the four corners of the top of the sterile specimen tray is equipped with a positioning block, each of the four positioning blocks has a positioning groove in the middle of its top, each of the sealing caps has a specimen name label in the middle of its top, and each of the handles has a magnetic plate in the middle of its top inner wall.
[0011] Preferably, the positioning block is configured as a triangular structure, the magnetic poles of the magnetic plate are opposite to those of the magnetic block, and the sterile specimen tray is made of medical-grade material.
[0012] Preferably, the sealing gasket is configured with a convex structure, both the sealing gasket and the sealing ring are made of silicone, and the handle bracket is configured with an L-shaped structure.
[0013] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a positioning plate, a positioning rod, a support frame, and an anti-slip pad. The positioning plate is installed at the bottom of the sterile specimen tray, the positioning rod is installed at the top of the positioning plate, the support frame is installed at the bottom of the positioning plate, and the anti-slip pad is installed at the bottom of the support frame.
[0014] Preferably, both the support frame and the anti-slip pad are configured as L-shaped structures, and the sum of the heights of the support frame and the anti-slip pad is consistent with the height of the positioning block.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] (1) This utility model has multiple pathological storage slots inside the sterile specimen tray. Different pathological specimens can be placed in separate compartments through multiple pathological storage slots. Then, the pathological storage slots can be sealed with a sealing cap to prevent the pathological specimens from shifting, getting confused or even being lost during storage or delivery. Moreover, the specimen name label on the sealing cap eliminates the need for manual writing or for scrubbing nurses to remember it, and also eliminates the need for circulating nurses to repackage and label it, thus reducing the ineffective waiting time during the operation and improving work efficiency.
[0017] (2) The present invention has a positioning mechanism at the bottom of the sterile specimen tray. By fitting the support frame onto the outer surface of the positioning block and inserting the positioning rod into the positioning groove, each layer of sterile storage trays can be stably stacked. The design of the anti-slip pad improves the anti-slip properties of the sterile specimen trays. In addition, the stacked sterile storage trays can not only effectively reduce the space occupied, but also facilitate carrying and transportation, further improving the working efficiency of the operating room.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Example 1:
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a sterile storage tray for intraoperative pathological specimens includes:
[0027] Sterile specimen tray 1;
[0028] The top of the sterile specimen tray 1 is provided with several pathology storage slots 2. Each of the several pathology storage slots 2 is equipped with a sealing cover 3. Each of the several sealing covers 3 is equipped with a sealing gasket 5 at the bottom. Each of the several sealing covers 3 is equipped with a handle 6 on one side of the top. Each of the several pathology storage slots 2 is equipped with a sealing ring 7 on the upper part of the inner wall. Each of the sterile specimen tray 1 is equipped with several magnetic blocks 8.
[0029] Positioning mechanism 4, there are four positioning mechanisms 4, which are respectively installed at the four corners of the bottom of the sterile specimen tray 1.
[0030] Depend on Figures 1 to 3 It can be seen that positioning blocks 9 are installed at the four corners of the top of the sterile specimen tray 1, and positioning grooves 10 are opened in the middle of the top of the four positioning blocks 9. Specimen name labels 11 are installed in the middle of the top of several sealing caps 3, and magnetic plates 12 are installed in the middle of the top inner wall of several handle holders 6.
[0031] As can be seen from the above, firstly, the sterile specimen tray 1 undergoes high-temperature sterilization to ensure its sterility. During the operation, medical staff can hold the handle 6 to open the sealing cover 3, thereby exposing the pathology storage slot 2. The design of multiple pathology storage slots 2 allows for the separate placement of different pathology specimens, effectively avoiding confusion. Subsequently, the sealing cover 3 is replaced and the pathology storage slot 2 is sealed. The sealing gasket 5 and the sealing ring 7 ensure the airtightness of the pathology storage slot 2, preventing the pathology specimen from being contaminated or lost. In addition, this design allows the sterile specimen tray 1 to be directly transferred off the table for rapid testing. It is worth mentioning that the magnetic field generated between the magnetic plate 12 and the magnetic block 8... The adhesive force makes the sealing cap 3 difficult to open, enhancing safety. At the same time, the specimen name label 11 equipped on the sealing cap 3 allows pathological specimens to be accurately stored in the corresponding pathological storage slot 2 without manual writing or reliance on the nurse's memory. It also avoids the circulating nurse's work of repackaging and marking, thus significantly reducing the ineffective waiting time during the operation and greatly improving work efficiency. The specimen name label 11 can be pasted on the sealing cap 3, or it can be engraved on it by mechanical, laser or other technologies, or directly printed on the sealing cap 3 by printing technology. This sterile storage tray can be used for the rapid storage of pathological specimens during breast-conserving surgery.
[0032] For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the positioning block 9 is set as a triangular structure, the magnetic poles of the magnetic plate 12 are opposite to those of the magnetic block 8, the sterile specimen tray 1 is made of medical grade material; the sealing gasket 5 is set as a convex structure, both the sealing gasket 5 and the sealing ring 7 are made of silicone material, and the handle 6 is set as an L-shaped structure.
[0033] As can be seen from the above, setting the positioning block 9 as a triangular structure can ensure its stability and accuracy during use, and can generate a strong attraction between the magnetic plate 12 and the magnetic block 8, ensuring a tight fit between the two, which can ensure the sterility and safety of the sterile specimen tray 1 during use. The convex structure of the sealing gasket 5 can fit the sealing ring 7 more tightly, which can improve the sealing effect and sealing performance. The L-shaped handle bracket 6 is conducive to opening the sealing cover 3.
[0034] Example 2:
[0035] refer to Figure 4 As shown, the positioning mechanism 4 includes a positioning plate 41, a positioning rod 42, a support frame 43, and an anti-slip pad 44. The positioning plate 41 is installed at the bottom of the sterile specimen tray 1, the positioning rod 42 is installed at the top of the positioning plate 41, the support frame 43 is installed at the bottom of the positioning plate 41, and the anti-slip pad 44 is installed at the bottom of the support frame 43.
[0036] As can be seen from the above, during the process of sending the sterile storage tray for testing, the sterile specimen tray 1 can be placed directly above another sterile specimen tray 1, so that the upper support frame 43 fits on the outer surface of the positioning block 9 and the positioning rod 42 is inserted into the positioning groove 10. This allows each layer of sterile storage trays to be stably stacked. Furthermore, by setting an anti-slip pad 44 at the bottom of the support frame 43, the friction with the sterile specimen tray 1 can be increased, thereby improving the anti-slip and stability of the sterile specimen tray 1 and preventing it from slipping or tipping over. In addition, the multiple sterile storage trays stacked together can not only effectively reduce the space occupied, but also facilitate carrying and transportation, further improving the working efficiency of the operating room.
[0037] Preferred, Reference Figure 4 As shown, both the support frame 43 and the anti-slip pad 44 are designed with an L-shaped structure, and the sum of the heights of the support frame 43 and the anti-slip pad 44 is the same as the height of the positioning block 9.
[0038] As can be seen from the above, the L-shaped support frame 43 and anti-slip pad 44 can provide better support and anti-slip effect, so that the positioning block 9 can be just stuck inside the support frame 43, and the positioning block 9 can contact the positioning plate 41 for support.
[0039] Application example:
[0040] This design is applied in the operating room environment, which is an important place in the hospital for surgical treatment. The operating room has extremely high environmental requirements and must be kept aseptic to reduce the risk of surgical infection.
[0041] During surgery, doctors will remove pathological tissue from the patient's body as specimens. These specimens need to be examined pathologically to determine the nature of the lesion. Traditional storage methods often pose risks such as specimen confusion, dropping out, and contamination. In addition, circulating nurses need to sort and label the specimens, which increases workload and time costs.
[0042] Therefore, the sterile storage tray of this design came into being, which can effectively solve these problems and improve the efficiency and safety of the operating room;
[0043] This design, by setting several pathology storage slots 2 inside the sterile specimen tray 1 and installing sealing caps 3 inside the pathology storage slots 2, ensures that each specimen has an independent storage space and will not be confused or fall out when moved. The design of the sealing caps 3 also prevents the specimens from being contaminated and maintains their sterility. The design of this sterile storage tray simplifies the operation process, eliminating the need for circulating nurses to re-dispense and label, thereby saving time and improving work efficiency. By setting a positioning mechanism 4, multi-layer storage trays can be stacked, reducing the space occupied. At the same time, the positioning mechanism 4 also ensures the stability and safety of the storage trays during the stacking process, preventing slippage or tipping.
[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
