Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical technology, and in particular to an embedding paper cup for taking small pathological specimens. Background Technology

[0002] In hospitals, when pathology departments collect small specimens, the specimens are first fixed in a fixative, then wrapped in embedding paper before being placed in an embedding cassette to prevent loss. However, current embedding paper is only a flat sheet of paper, making it difficult to completely recover broken specimens floating in the fixative. It requires slowly pouring small amounts of fixative from the specimen bag onto the flat paper, which not only affects efficiency but also makes it easy for broken specimens to be washed away with the fixative, resulting in specimen loss.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design an embedding cup that facilitates the recovery of small specimens to prevent the loss of fixative containing the small specimens, which would result in incomplete recovery of the small specimens. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide an embedding paper cup for collecting small pathological specimens, which facilitates the recycling of such specimens.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An embedding paper cup for collecting small pathological specimens mainly includes a cup body, which is conical in shape and made of embedding paper. The upper edge of the cup body is provided with a rim, and a flexible fixing strip is inserted into the inner cavity of the rim.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer side of the cup body is provided with two limiting strips, both ends of each limiting strip are connected to the outer side surface of the cup body, the two limiting strips are symmetrically positioned, the axis of symmetry of the two limiting strips passes through the bottom end of the cup body and is perpendicular to the upper edge of the cup body, the upper ends of the two limiting strips are close to the axis of symmetry, and the lower ends of the two limiting strips are far away from the axis of symmetry.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer side of the cup body is provided with two limiting strips. The two limiting strips are symmetrically positioned, and the axis of symmetry of the two limiting strips passes through the bottom end of the cup body and is perpendicular to the upper edge of the cup body. The upper end of each limiting strip is connected to the outer side of the cup body, and its upper end is close to the axis of symmetry. The lower end of each limiting strip is a free end, and its lower end is far away from the axis of symmetry. Adhesive is provided on the limiting strips, and the adhesive surface is provided with anti-stick paper.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer side of the cup body is provided with a cutting line, which is parallel to the upper edge of the cup body and is positioned higher than the upper end of the limiting strip.

[0010] Furthermore, two connection ports are provided on the edging, the two connection ports are symmetrically positioned, the connection ports are connected to the inner cavity of the edging, and pull ropes are connected to the fixing strips at both connection ports, the pull ropes extending out of the edging.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer end of the pull rope is provided with a pull ring.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixing strip is a metal strip.

[0013] Furthermore, the metal strip is made of stainless steel wire.

[0014] Furthermore, the fixing strip is made of plastic.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This invention transforms flat embedding paper into a conical paper cup structure, allowing for direct pouring of fixative containing small specimens into the cup without spillage, thus obtaining intact specimens. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for multiple pours into the paper cup, saving time and improving efficiency.

[0017] 2. This utility model features a rim around the upper edge of the paper cup, with a retaining strip inserted into the cavity of the rim. When the folded paper cup is unfolded, the retaining strip keeps the paper cup open, facilitating the pouring of the fixing liquid.

[0018] 3. This utility model has cutting lines on the inner and outer sides of the paper cup, which makes it convenient for medical staff to cut off the edging and the fixing strip inside the edging along the cutting lines, making it easy to fold the mouth of the paper cup. The folded paper cup can prevent the small specimen inside from flowing out. The folded paper cup is finally placed in the embedding box.

[0019] 4. This utility model provides a limiting strip on the outer side of the paper cup. After cutting the edge, the paper cup is flattened towards the center line, and the corners at both ends of the cup mouth are folded down. The corners of the paper cup are inserted into the limiting strip to prevent the corners of the paper cup from curling up, so that the paper cup can be folded and placed in the embedding box better.

The terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are used to illustrate the invention and do not represent the actual product's location. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set" and "connection" 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 mechanical connection or an electrical 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. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] A specific embodiment, as shown in the figure, represents a preferred embodiment of this utility model. An embedding paper cup for collecting small pathological specimens mainly includes a cup body 1, which is conical in shape and made of embedding paper. The upper edge of the cup body 1 has a rim 2, and a flexible fixing strip 6 passes through the inner cavity of the rim 2.

[0030] This invention uses embedding paper to make a conical cup body 1. The embedding paper is soft and foldable, and is a type of paper commonly used for specimen filtration. Using embedding paper to make the cup body 1 does not affect the filtration and recovery of the specimen. The conical cup body 1 acts as a funnel, making it convenient to pour the fixative containing small specimens into the cup body 1 for filtration and recovery. The small specimens will concentrate at the bottom of the conical cup body 1 for easy recovery. However, because the embedding paper is relatively soft, it cannot maintain an open state very well. Therefore, a edging 2 is provided on the upper edge of the cup body 1, and a fixing strip 6 is inserted into the cavity of the edging 2, so that the fixing strip 6 is installed on the upper edge of the cup body 1. By bending the fixing strip 6 outwards, the cup mouth of the cup body 1 is opened into an open state. Furthermore, the fixing strip 6 is made of a malleable material, so that the fixing strip 6 can deform into the required shape under force, without the need for continuous force to keep the fixing strip 6 in a bent state. Furthermore, the fixing strip 6 is a metal strip with a small diameter and a wire-like shape, making it easy to bend. Furthermore, the metal strip is made of stainless steel wire, which is less prone to rusting during storage. Alternatively, the metal strip can be made of iron wire, which is relatively inexpensive. Alternatively, the fixing strip 6 can be made of plastic.

[0031] After the fixative solution flows out of the cup body 1, the small specimen remains at the bottom of the cup body 1. Medical staff use scissors to cut off the edging 2 of the cup body 1 and the fixing strip 6 inside the edging 2 to prevent the fixing strip 6 and the edging 2 from affecting the folding of the embedding paper cup. The remaining part of the embedding paper cup is folded to wrap the small specimen inside the embedding paper and then placed in the embedding box. Furthermore, the outer side of the cup body 1 is provided with two limiting strips 7. Both ends of each limiting strip 7 are connected to the outer side surface of the cup body 1. The two limiting strips 7 are symmetrically positioned, and the axis of symmetry of the two limiting strips 7 passes through the bottom end of the cup body 1 and is perpendicular to the upper edge of the cup body 1. The upper ends of the two limiting strips 7 are close to the axis of symmetry, and the lower ends of the two limiting strips 7 are away from the axis of symmetry. After cutting off the edging 2 and fixing strip 6 of the cup body 1, flatten the cup body 1 towards the center line, fold the corners at both ends of the cup mouth of the cup body 1 inward, and insert the two inward folded corners into the corresponding limiting strips 7. Under the restriction of the limiting strips 7, the corners of the cup body 1 can be prevented from curling up, so that the small specimen can stay better at the bottom of the cup body 1 and is not easy to flow out of the cup body 1.

[0032] Alternatively, the outer side of the cup body 1 is provided with two limiting strips 7. The two limiting strips 7 are symmetrically positioned, and the axis of symmetry of the two limiting strips 7 passes through the bottom end of the cup body 1 and is perpendicular to the upper edge of the cup body 1. The upper end of each limiting strip 7 is connected to the outer side of the cup body 1, and its upper end is close to the axis of symmetry. The lower end of each limiting strip 7 is a free end, and its lower end is far away from the axis of symmetry. Adhesive is provided on the limiting strips 7, and the adhesive surface is provided with release paper. The operation is the same as above: cut off the edging 2 and the fixing strip 6 inside the edging 2, fold the corners at both ends of the cup mouth of the cup body 1 inward, then peel off the release paper, and use the limiting strips 7 to stick the corners to the outer side of the cup body 1, which can also prevent the corners from curling up.

[0033] Furthermore, a cutting line is provided on the outer surface of the cup body 1. The cutting line is parallel to the upper edge of the cup body 1 and is positioned higher than the upper end of the limiting strip 7. The cutting line indicates the cutting position for medical personnel and allows for a very clean cut. The fact that the cutting line is higher than the upper end of the limiting strip 7 does not affect the use of the limiting strip 7.

[0034] Furthermore, two connecting ports 3 are provided on the edging 2. The two connecting ports 3 are symmetrically positioned and communicate with the inner cavity of the edging 2. A pull rope 4 is connected to the fixing strip 6 at each of the two connecting ports 3, and the pull rope 4 extends out of the edging 2. Because the cup body 1 is flattened before use, it can reduce storage space and keep the inside of the cup body 1 clean. When it is necessary to open the cup body 1, it is necessary to pull the cup body 1 to both sides. Medical staff wearing gloves find it inconvenient to open the flattened cup body 1. Therefore, the pull rope 4 is provided. By pulling the fixing strip 6 with the pull rope 4, the fixing strip 6 is deformed, opening the mouth of the cup body 1 for easy use.

[0035] Furthermore, the outer end of the pull rope 4 is provided with a pull ring 5, which allows for better pulling of the fixing bar 6 using the pull rope 4. Also, when using the cup body 1 to filter and recover small specimens, a wooden stick or similar object can be threaded through the two pull rings 5 ​​to hang the cup body 1, freeing up the user's hands and eliminating the need to constantly hold the cup body 1.

[0036] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made under the technical spirit of the present utility model should fall within the patent scope covered by the present utility model.
