Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically a storage box for storing waterproof and light-blocking eye patches. Background Technology

[0002] Clinically, some patients cannot close their eyelids tightly after general anesthesia. Under general anesthesia, the blink reflex is lost. Without intervention, these patients are prone to postoperative dry eyes and eye pain, and there is also a risk of rinsing and disinfectant splashing into their eyes. For facial surgery, because the surgical light shines directly on the face, and the eyelids have a certain degree of penetrability, even if the patient's eyelids can close voluntarily, high light intensity and prolonged exposure can still cause damage to the patient's eyes.

[0003] While using existing eye patches (manufactured by Hebei Feifan Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) can protect patients' eyes, there are currently no dedicated storage boxes for them. Healthcare workers need to spend time searching for eye patches, and may even forget to prepare them in advance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a storage box for storing waterproof and light-blocking eye patches. It is specifically designed for storing eye patches, eliminating the need for medical staff to spend time searching for eye patches, preventing them from forgetting to prepare eye patches in advance, and facilitating the retrieval and recycling of eye patches.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A storage box for storing waterproof and light-blocking eye patches includes a box body and several slots. Two slots are horizontally symmetrically arranged on the slots, and eye patches are respectively placed in the two slots. The eye patches are made of waterproof and light-blocking TPE material. The box body has two storage cavities, namely a pre-use cavity and a post-use cavity. Slots with unused eye patches are stored in the pre-use cavity, and slots with unused eye patches are stored in the post-use cavity.

[0007] Compared with existing technologies, the storage box for storing waterproof and light-blocking eye patches, which adopts the above technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:

[0008] This invention relates to a storage box for storing waterproof and light-blocking eye patches. Before surgery, medical staff remove a slotted piece from the pre-use chamber, then pry out a pair of eye patches from the two recessed slots. These eye patches are then applied to the patient's eyelids. The eye patches provide light protection to prevent damage from surgical lights and waterproofing to prevent liquid splashes from harming the eyes. Finally, the slotted piece containing the eye patches is placed back into the post-use chamber. The eye patch material can be referenced from existing lutein and hyaluronic acid eye patches (manufactured by Hebei Feifan Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), featuring breathability, light blocking, waterproofing, softness, non-slip properties, and antibacterial characteristics. It is also skin-friendly, lightweight, and comfortable to wear. After the eye patches are placed back into the post-use chamber, the slotted piece is returned to the pre-use chamber, meaning the eye patches are for single use while the slotted piece is reusable. This storage box is specifically designed for storing eye patches, eliminating the need for medical staff to search for them, preventing the forgetting to prepare eye patches in advance, and facilitating the retrieval of eye patches and the recycling of the slotted piece.

[0009] In the preferred embodiment, medical staff push the reservoir push button to retract the movable plate. The upper slot of the reservoir will fall to the bottom of the reservoir due to gravity. Then, the reservoir push button is released to extend the movable plate. The lowermost slot of the reservoir will be pushed out of the retrieval port by the movable plate. The slot at the retrieval port can then be pulled out by hand to facilitate the retrieval of the slots in the reservoir one by one.

[0010] Preferably, the eye patch is oval-shaped, the groove is rectangular, and the storage cavity is cuboid, with the bottom surface of the storage cavity matching the shape of the groove. Several grooves are stacked inside the storage cavity. This improves the utilization rate of the storage cavity space and neatly arranges the grooves.

[0011] Preferably, one side wall of the storage cavity has a film retrieval port on its lower edge, and the other side wall has a retractable movable plate on its lower edge. The film retrieval port and the movable plate are on the same horizontal plane, and the heights of the movable plate, the film retrieval port, and the tray pieces are all the same. A movable push button is located on the side of the box, and the push button is fixed relative to the movable plate. When the push button moves, causing the movable plate to extend, it pushes the lowest tray piece out of the film retrieval port. Medical staff can then easily retrieve the tray pieces one by one from the film retrieval port.

[0012] Preferably, the retractable end of the movable plate is provided with a slider, and the slider is provided with a spring. When the movable plate retracts, the spring is compressed, and when the movable plate extends, the spring returns to its original position.

[0013] Preferably, the tray is made of TPU material. The tray has a certain degree of rigidity to ensure that it can be pushed out of the dispensing port by the movable plate; moreover, medical staff can bend the tray by hand to easily remove the eye patch from the tray, and the tray will spring back to its original shape after releasing the hand.

[0014] Preferably, the eye patch uses pressure-sensitive adhesive underneath, and an anti-adhesive film is adhered to the bottom of the eye patch, with a lifting tip on the outer edge of the anti-adhesive film. The pressure-sensitive adhesive is firmly bonded and will not damage the patient's skin. The anti-adhesive film protects the adhesive properties, and medical staff can more easily peel off the anti-adhesive film using the lifting tip.

[0015] Preferably, the reservoir opening is equipped with a flip-up cover that fits over the reservoir. The cover has a pivot at the flip-up connection point, and the pivot has a torsion spring. When the cover is flipped open, the torsion spring is twisted; when the cover is closed, the torsion spring returns to its original position. The cover seals the reservoir opening, preventing dust contamination and keeping the reservoir clean. The pivot and torsion spring automatically close the cover, preventing medical staff from forgetting to put the cover back on.

[0016] Preferably, the box body has a storage slot on top, in which a wet wipe pack is placed. Two storage compartments are located on the same side of the storage slot. The wet wipe pack can be similar to existing alcohol wipes (manufactured by Henan Huanmin Medical Device Co., Ltd.). The storage slot allows medical staff to easily remove the wet wipes for disinfection. The two storage compartments being on the same side of the storage slot facilitates the use of eye patches and the recycling of the storage compartments. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 8 The storage box shown is for storing waterproof and light-blocking eye patches. It includes a box body 1 and several slots 3. Each slot 3 has two horizontally symmetrical recesses 30, and an eye patch 4 is placed in each of the two recesses 30. The eye patch 4 is made of waterproof and light-blocking TPE material. The box body 1 has two storage cavities 10, namely a pre-use cavity 11 and a post-use cavity 12. Slots 3 with eye patches 4 not removed are stored in the pre-use cavity 11, and slots 3 with eye patches 4 removed are stored in the post-use cavity 12. Before surgery, medical staff remove one slot 3 from the pre-use cavity 11, then remove one pair of eye patches 4 from each of the two recesses 30, and apply the pair of eye patches 4 to the patient's eyelids. The eye patches 4 provide light protection to prevent surgical light from damaging the patient's eyes, and their waterproof function prevents liquid splashes from damaging the patient's eyes. Finally, the slots 3 with the eye patches 4 removed are placed into the post-use cavity 12. The material of the eye patch 4 can be referenced from existing lutein and hyaluronic acid eye patches (manufactured by Hebei Feifan Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). It features breathability, light blocking, waterproofing, softness, non-slip properties, and antibacterial properties. It is skin-friendly, lightweight, and comfortable to wear. After the eye patch 4 is placed in the inner groove 3 of the rear cavity 12, it is returned to the front cavity 11. That is, the eye patch 4 is for single use, while the groove 3 can be reused. The storage box of this utility model is specifically designed to store the eye patch 4. Medical staff do not need to spend time searching for the eye patch 4, avoid forgetting to prepare the eye patch 4 in advance, and facilitate the use of the eye patch 4 and the recycling of the groove 3.

[0028] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The eye patch 4 is oval-shaped, the groove 3 is rectangular, and the storage cavity 10 is cuboid. The bottom surface of the storage cavity 10 is adapted to the shape of the groove 3, and several grooves 3 are stacked inside the storage cavity 10. This improves the space utilization of the storage cavity 10 and neatly arranges the grooves 3.

[0029] The slot 3 is made of TPU material. The slot 3 has a certain degree of hardness, which ensures that the slot 3 can be pushed out of the dispensing port 20 by the movable plate 2; moreover, medical staff can bend the slot 3 by hand, making it easier to pry out the eye patch 4 from the slot, and the slot 3 will spring back to its original shape after releasing the hand.

[0030] The eye patch 4 is covered with pressure-sensitive adhesive, and an anti-adhesive film 40 is attached to the bottom of the eye patch 4. The anti-adhesive film 40 has a lifting tip 41 on its outer edge. The pressure-sensitive adhesive is firmly bonded and will not damage the patient's skin. The anti-adhesive film 40 protects the adhesiveness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive, and medical staff can more easily peel off the anti-adhesive film 40 using the lifting tip 41.

[0031] The two storage cavities 10 are made of transparent material, which makes it easy for medical staff to see the number of slot pieces 3 inside the storage cavity 10 and replenish the slot pieces 3 inside the pre-use cavity 11 in a timely manner. The side wall of the pre-use cavity 11 is marked with the word "Pre-use", and the side wall of the post-use cavity 12 is marked with the word "Post-use", so that medical staff can easily distinguish between the pre-use cavity 11 and the post-use cavity 12.

[0032] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The storage cavity 10 has a tablet dispensing port 20 on the lower side of one side wall and a retractable movable plate 2 on the lower side of the other side wall. The tablet dispensing port 20 and the movable plate 2 are on the same horizontal plane. The height of the movable plate 2, the height of the tablet dispensing port 20, and the height of the slot 3 are all the same. The side of the box body 1 has a movable push button 22, which is fixed relative to the movable plate 2. When the push button 22 moves and the movable plate 2 extends, it pushes the lowest slot 3 out of the tablet dispensing port 20. The retracted end of the movable plate 2 has a slider 21 with a spring 23. When the movable plate 2 retracts, the spring 23 is compressed, and when the movable plate 2 extends, the spring 23 returns to its original position. Medical staff push the push button 22 of the storage cavity 10 to retract the movable plate 2. The upper slot plate 3 of the storage cavity 10 will fall to the bottom of the storage cavity 10 due to gravity. Then, release the push button 22 of the storage cavity 10 to extend the movable plate 2. The lowermost slot plate 3 of the storage cavity 10 will be pushed out of the retrieval port 20 by the movable plate 2. Then, the slot plate 3 at the retrieval port 20 can be pulled out by hand to facilitate the retrieval of the slot plates 3 in the storage cavity 10 one by one.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The storage cavity 10 has a flip-up cover 13 at its opening, which closes onto the storage cavity 10. A pivot 14 is located at the flip-up connection of the cover 13, and a torsion spring is mounted on the pivot 14. When the cover 13 is flipped open, the torsion spring is twisted; when the cover 13 is closed, the torsion spring returns to its original position. The cover 13 seals the opening of the storage cavity 10, preventing dust contamination and keeping the trays 3 clean. Medical staff can flip the front cover 11 to replenish the trays 3 and flip the rear cover 13 to retrieve them. The torsion spring on the pivot 14 automatically closes the cover 13, preventing medical staff from forgetting to put the cover back on.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 The box body 1 has a storage slot 15 on top, in which a wet wipe pack 16 is placed. Two storage chambers 10 are located on the same side of the storage slot 15. The wet wipe pack 16 can be similar to existing alcohol wipes (manufactured by Henan Huanmin Medical Device Co., Ltd.). The wet wipe pack 16 can be placed through the storage slot 15 for convenient use by medical staff to remove the wet wipes for disinfection. The two storage chambers 10 are on the same side of the storage slot 15 for convenient use by medical staff to access the eye patches 4 and the recycling tray 3.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 The box body 1 has an anti-slip part 5 at the bottom. The anti-slip part 5 is made of rubber to increase friction and prevent the box body 1 from shifting and falling.
