[0028] 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.

[0029] For reference as follows Figures 1-4 The present invention will be described as follows:

[0030] Example: A surgical suture storage device includes a box body 1, which is a cylindrical structure with an opening on one side. The one-side opening facilitates the installation and replacement of the suture reel 2, and also allows for easy observation of the remaining suture. The box body 1 contains a rotatable reel 2, on which the surgical suture is wound. When the suture is needed, pulling the suture causes the reel 2 to rotate and release the suture. This method makes suture retrieval smoother and avoids tangling and knotting. A suture outlet hole 3 is provided on the side wall of the box body 1 for the surgical suture to extend. The size and position of the outlet hole 3 are carefully designed to ensure smooth suture extension while preventing excessive friction and damage to the suture during extension.

[0031] It also includes a connecting plate 4, which is a thin sheet structure. This thin sheet structure makes the connecting plate 4 lightweight and does not place excessive burden on the user. The box body 1 is fixedly mounted on the connecting plate 4. The connecting plate 4 provides stable support and fixation for the box body 1. This connection method ensures that the box body 1 will not shake or fall off during use.

[0032] The connecting plate 4 has a U-shaped slot 5, and a fixing strip 6 is installed inside the slot 5. The U-shaped design of the slot 5 makes the installation of the fixing strip 6 more convenient and stable. The fixing strip 6 extends along the opening direction of the slot 5, and the fixing strip 6 is spaced apart from the two side walls of the slot 5. This spaced design provides space for cutting surgical sutures.

[0033] The fixing strip 6 is equipped with blades 7, which extend from both sides of the fixing strip 6 to form cutting edges. During the use of surgical sutures, when it is necessary to cut the suture, the suture enters between the fixing strip 6 and the side wall of the groove 5, and is cut by the blades 7. This design eliminates the need for additional scissors, greatly improving surgical efficiency. The blades 7 are typically made of high-strength materials such as stainless steel to ensure their sharpness and durability.

[0034] One end of the connecting plate 4 is connected to a ring-shaped connecting ring 8. The connecting ring 8 facilitates the user's gripping and securing of the surgical suture storage device. During use, the user can insert one finger into the connecting ring 8 while simultaneously holding the connecting plate 4 and the housing 1 to operate the surgical suture storage device. This design allows the user to operate the storage device more stably, preventing slippage or instability during use. The other hand can pull the suture between the fixing strip 6 and the side wall of the slot 5 for quick suture cutting.

[0035] In summary, this surgical suture storage device, through its ingenious design, organically combines the box body 1, winding wheel 2, connecting plate 4, fixing strip 6, blade 7, and connecting ring 8, which not only solves the problem of cumbersome operation of existing surgical suture storage devices, but also provides a convenient way to hold and fix them, greatly facilitating suture management during surgery.

[0036] The connecting ring 8 is provided with a disconnect groove 81. The disconnect groove 81 plays an important role, as it allows the size of the connecting ring 8 to be adjusted to a certain extent.

[0037] When users have fingers of different thicknesses, the size of the connecting ring 8 can be flexibly adjusted via the disconnecting slot 81 to accommodate the needs of different users. This allows both medical personnel with thinner fingers and users with thicker fingers to comfortably insert their fingers into the connecting ring 8, thus better holding and securing the surgical suture storage device. At the same time, the adjustable connecting ring 8 increases the versatility of the surgical suture storage device, enabling it to function better in different usage scenarios and for different user groups.

[0038] The box body 1 and the connecting ring 8 are located at opposite ends of the connecting plate 4, forming a relatively reasonable layout. The box body 1, as the main storage component for surgical sutures, is located at one end for convenient suture storage and handling. The connecting ring 8, located at the other end of the connecting plate 4, provides the user with a convenient gripping and securing point.

[0039] The fixing strip 6 is located between the housing 1 and the connecting ring 8. This arrangement has several advantages. First, the fixing strip 6 is close to the housing 1, allowing for convenient guidance of the suture after it extends from the suture outlet 3 into the space between the fixing strip 6 and the side wall of the slot 5 for cutting. Second, the fixed strip 6 maintains a certain distance from the connecting ring 8, ensuring that the user's fingers will not interfere with the suture cutting action when inserted into the connecting ring 8. Furthermore, this layout makes the entire surgical suture storage device more ergonomic during use, facilitating one-handed operation and improving surgical efficiency and convenience.

[0040] The suture exit hole 3 is oriented with its opening facing the fixing strip 6. This design offers several advantages and is quite reasonable. Firstly, the opening facing the fixing strip 6 allows the surgical suture drawn from the reel 2 to extend more directly towards the fixing strip 6. When it's necessary to cut the suture, the user can more smoothly pull the suture out of the exit hole 3 and guide it between the fixing strip 6 and the side wall of the slot 5, reducing obstruction and twisting during suture movement and improving ease of operation. Secondly, this design also helps the user better control the suture's direction during operation. Because the opening of the exit hole 3 clearly points towards the fixing strip 6, the user can more intuitively judge the suture's position and the timing of cutting, reducing the difficulty and error rate of the operation.

[0041] The blade 7 is located in the area between the two sides of the connecting plate 4 in the thickness direction. Confining the blade between the two sides of the connecting plate 4 in the thickness direction effectively prevents the user's hand from directly contacting the blade 7 when operating the surgical suture storage device. During surgery, medical staff typically need to perform various operations quickly and accurately, resulting in frequent hand movements. If the blade 7 were exposed in an easily accessible location, there would be a significant risk of accidental injury. By placing the blade within a specific area, this risk can be greatly reduced, ensuring the user's safety.

[0042] The take-up roller 2 has a connecting hole 9 at its center, and the bottom of the housing 1 has a connecting post 10. The connecting post 10 is connected to the connecting hole 9. This connection method ensures that the take-up roller 2 can be stably installed in the housing 1 and rotate. The end of the connecting post 10 has an anti-detachment part 11. This design can effectively prevent the take-up roller 2 from accidentally detaching from the connecting post during rotation, ensuring the reliability and stability of the surgical suture storage device.

[0043] The take-up roller 2 has an I-shaped cross-section. Firstly, the I-shaped structure increases the strength of the take-up roller 2, enabling it to withstand greater tensile and compressive forces, ensuring that it does not deform or become damaged during the unwinding and winding of surgical sutures. Secondly, the two edges of the I-shaped structure can provide some restraint to the surgical sutures wound on the take-up roller 2, preventing the sutures from shifting or loosening during rotation, resulting in a neater and more orderly winding. Furthermore, the I-shaped structure reduces the contact area between the take-up roller 2 and the interior of the housing 1, lowering frictional resistance and making the rotation of the take-up roller 2 smoother, thus improving the efficiency of unwinding and winding surgical sutures.

[0044] The box body 1, connecting plate 4, and connecting ring 8 are integrated into one unit. Firstly, this integrated structure makes the entire surgical suture storage device more stable, reducing the likelihood of loosening or separation of components during use, thus improving the device's reliability. Secondly, the integrated design reduces assembly complexity, lowers production costs, and facilitates quality control during production. It is made of plastic. These components are made of plastic, which has several advantages. Firstly, plastic is relatively lightweight, making the surgical suture storage device easy to carry and operate, without placing excessive burden on the user. Secondly, plastic has good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, allowing for long-term use in various environments without significant damage. Furthermore, plastic can be mass-produced using processes such as injection molding, resulting in high production efficiency and meeting the large demand for surgical suture storage devices in the medical field.

[0045] The transparent design of the take-up reel 2 is also significant. The transparent reel 2 allows the user to clearly see the condition of the surgical sutures wound inside, including the amount, color, and thickness of the sutures. This facilitates the user's timely monitoring of the suture usage during surgery and enables informed decision-making. At the same time, the transparent material also makes the reel 2 more aesthetically pleasing, providing a simple and clear visual experience.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
