Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surgical tool counting technology, and in particular to an integrated device for storing and counting suture tools used in ophthalmic operating tables. Background Technology

[0002] In surgical procedures, incisions are often large, and standard-sized needles and sutures are used. However, ophthalmic surgery commonly uses sutures including silk, absorbable, nylon, polypropylene, and polyester sutures. During ophthalmic surgery, these sutures are small and fine, making them prone to loss, as are the needle tips and holes. Before suturing the skin, it is crucial to ensure the integrity and correct number of sutures to avoid surgical suture loss. legacy If the substance remains inside the patient's body, it can have serious consequences. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides an integrated device for storing and counting suture tools used in ophthalmic operating tables, addressing the problem that sutures and needles are easily lost in existing technologies.

[0004] To solve the aforementioned problems of this utility model, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] An integrated device for storing and counting suture tools for ophthalmic operating tables includes a main board. The main board is provided with a suture adhesive, a needle storage slot, and indicator lights corresponding to the needle storage slots. A trigger is provided in each needle storage slot. The trigger is electrically connected to the indicator lights. When a needle is placed in the storage slot, the trigger is activated to illuminate the indicator lights, and the suture is placed on the suture adhesive.

[0006] Preferably, the motherboard includes an integrally formed storage plate and an indicator plate, wherein the storage plate and the indicator plate form an L-shaped structure.

[0007] Preferably, a needle storage slot is provided on the top of the storage plate, and multiple needle storage slots are arranged side by side.

[0008] Preferably, indicator lights are provided on the indicator plate at positions corresponding to the needle storage slots.

[0009] Preferably, a suture adhesive attachment is provided on the top of the storage plate near the indicator plate. The suture adhesive attachment includes a suture plate and an adhesive plate. The suture plate is disposed on the top of the storage plate, and the adhesive plate is disposed on the top of the suture plate. The suture is placed on the suture plate and the end of the suture is placed on the adhesive plate.

[0010] Preferably, the trigger includes a weight switch disposed at the bottom of the needle storage groove, the top of the weight switch abutting the bottom of the support plate, the top of the support plate abutting the bottom of the elastic limiting band, and the two ends of the elastic limiting band being connected to the top two ends of the support plate inside the needle storage groove.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the adapter post is fixedly connected to the top of the storage plate, the top of the adapter post is rotatably connected to the bottom of the magnifying glass plate, and a magnifying glass is installed on the magnifying glass plate.

[0012] Preferably, the distance from the top surface of the magnifying glass to the top of the storage plate is less than the distance from the top of the indicator plate to the top of the storage plate.

[0013] The above technical solution has at least the following advantages compared with the existing technology:

[0014] In the above solution, the center of the suture plate of this utility model is used to place the suture, and the end of the suture is placed on the adhesive plate, which facilitates the storage of the suture and makes it easy to find the end of the suture. It is used for counting the sutures before and after surgery to avoid the loss of sutures during the operation.

[0015] When the suture needle is placed on top of the support plate, its weight triggers a weight switch, which in turn illuminates the indicator light. When the suture needle is not placed on top of the support plate, the weight switch is deactivated, and the indicator light goes out. The number of suture needles is confirmed by observing the corresponding indicator light before and after surgery; similarly, the number of suture needles is confirmed after surgery by observing the corresponding indicator light, preventing situations such as suture needles not being removed from the patient's body.

[0016] The magnifying glass makes it easy to inspect the needles and sutures. By observing the integrity of the needles through the magnifying glass, it is possible to confirm whether the needles are damaged or missing, thus preventing situations such as surgical needles not being removed from the patient's body.

[0026] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides an integrated device for storing and counting suture tools for ophthalmic operating tables, including a main board. The main board includes an integrally formed storage plate and an indicator plate, which form an L-shaped structure.

[0027] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a suture adhesive attachment is provided on the main board. The suture adhesive attachment includes a suture plate and an adhesive plate, and is positioned on the top of the storage plate near the indicator plate. Specifically, the suture plate is positioned on top of the storage plate, and the adhesive plate is positioned on top of the suture plate. Preferably, the adhesive plate is positioned at the top edge of the suture plate, with the center of the suture plate used to place the suture. The end of the suture is placed on the adhesive plate, facilitating suture storage and easy location of the suture end, preventing suture loss during surgery. Furthermore, a groove is provided on the top of the suture plate for placing the suture between the needle and the suture end.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, a needle storage slot is provided on the main board, located on the top of the storage plate. Multiple needle storage slots are arranged side-by-side. A trigger is installed within each slot. Indicator lights are positioned on the indicator plate corresponding to each needle storage slot, and the triggers are electrically connected to the indicator lights. Specifically, the trigger includes a weight switch located at the bottom of the needle storage slot. The top of the weight switch rests against the bottom of the support plate, and the middle of the top of the support plate rests against the bottom of an elastic limiting band. The two ends of the elastic limiting band are connected to the two ends of the top of the support plate within the needle storage slot. When a needle is placed on the top of the support plate, its weight triggers the weight switch, illuminating the indicator lights. When a needle is not placed on the top of the support plate, the weight switch closes, extinguishing the indicator lights. Before and after surgery, the number of needles is confirmed by observing the corresponding indicator lights, preventing the possibility of residual sutures being left inside the patient.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a connecting post is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top of the storage plate. The top of the connecting post is rotatably connected to the bottom of a magnifying glass plate, on which a magnifying glass is mounted. Specifically, the distance from the top surface of the magnifying glass to the top of the storage plate is less than the distance from the top of the indicator plate to the top of the storage plate. This ensures that when the magnifying glass is rotated above the needle storage slot, the edge of the magnifying glass rests against the indicator plate, thus limiting the position of the magnifying glass. The magnifying glass facilitates the inspection of needles and sutures, allowing for observation of the integrity of the needles and confirmation of any defects, preventing situations such as surgical needles not being removed from the patient's body.

[0030] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The protection scope of this utility model shall be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
