Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to a suture needle box that is easy to collect. Background Technology

[0002] In cardiac surgery, sutures are primarily used to repair damaged or abnormal cardiac tissue, restoring the heart's normal structure and function. The surgeon makes an incision in the patient's chest, opens the thoracic cavity, exposes the heart, then accurately locates the areas requiring suturing and carefully closes the defects or wounds using special sutures.

[0003] Because suture needles are very small, their management is crucial in cardiac surgery. Doctors need to constantly monitor their position to ensure they are always within their field of vision and to prevent them from being lost. Currently, there is a lack of specialized equipment for collecting suture needles, making it very inconvenient for doctors to retrieve and store them. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a suture needle box that is easy to collect, for storing suture needles, which can prevent suture needles from being scattered randomly on the operating table, thereby reducing accidental damage to patient tissues by suture needles.

[0005] The present invention provides a convenient needle collection box, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A convenient needle collection box includes a frame and a housing disposed on the frame. The top of the housing has a receiving hole adapted to the shape of a suture needle. The bottom of the housing has a placement shell communicating with the receiving hole. The placement shell is slidably fitted onto the housing in a vertically lockable manner and is used to place the suture needle.

[0007] Optionally, the placement shell is provided with a magnetic element for attracting suture needles.

[0008] Optionally, an elastomer is provided on the housing, and the receiving hole is formed in the elastomer.

[0009] Optionally, the elastomer is made of foam, the placement shell is slidably disposed within the foam, and the receiving hole is formed in the foam.

[0010] Optionally, the housing is provided with a sliding plate, and the housing has a sliding hole, with the sliding plate slidably fitted into the sliding hole.

[0011] Optionally, the size of the sliding hole is smaller than the size of the sliding plate.

[0012] Optionally, a limiting plate is provided on the sliding plate, and a limiting hole is provided on the side wall of the receiving hole, and the limiting plate is slidably fitted in the limiting hole.

[0013] Optionally, the side wall of the placement shell is provided with a perforation for the user to remove the suture needle from the placement shell.

[0014] In summary, this utility model includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: the suture needle is placed in the placement shell through the receiving hole. During use, the placement shell is slid to remove the suture needle from the placement shell. After use, the suture needle is put back in through the receiving hole. Under the action of gravity, the suture needle falls through the receiving hole into the placement shell for storage. This method of storing suture needles can prevent them from falling randomly on the operating table, thereby reducing accidental damage to the patient's tissues. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0019] This utility model discloses a sewing needle box that is easy to collect.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A convenient suture needle box includes a frame 1 and a housing 2 disposed on the frame 1. The top of the housing 2 has a receiving hole 3, which is adapted to the shape of the suture needle. The bottom of the housing 2 has a placement shell 4 communicating with the receiving hole 3. The placement shell 4 is slidably and lockably disposed on the housing 2 in a vertical direction and is used to hold the suture needle. The suture needle is placed into the placement shell 4 through the receiving hole 3. During use, the placement shell 4 is slid to remove the suture needle. After use, the suture needle is placed back into the receiving hole 3. Under the influence of gravity, the suture needle falls through the receiving hole 3 into the placement shell 4, where it is collected. This storage method prevents suture needles from scattering on the operating table, thereby reducing accidental damage to patient tissues.

[0021] In this embodiment, the frame 1 suspends the shell 2 above the ground, allowing the placement shell 4 to move downwards so that the user can retrieve the suture needles from the placement shell 4.

[0022] The placement shell 4 is equipped with magnetic components to attract and hold suture needles. The suture needles are made of magnetic metal, and the magnetic components secure them in place. This ensures the suture needles are not lost during surgery and allows for quick retrieval by the surgeon. When a suture needle made of magnetic metal (such as iron or nickel) approaches these magnetic components, it is attracted by the magnetic force and firmly adheres to the placement shell 4. This achieves the storage and fixation of the suture needle, preventing accidental drop or loss during surgery and reducing surgical risks. Secondly, magnetic adsorption allows surgeons to retrieve suture needles more easily and quickly, improving surgical efficiency. Furthermore, magnetic storage helps surgeons better manage suture needles, preventing them from becoming tangled or misused.

[0023] An elastomer is provided on the shell 2, and a receiving hole 3 is opened in the elastomer. Specifically, the elastomer is made of foam. The placement shell 4 is slidably disposed in the foam, and the receiving hole 3 is opened in the foam. In this embodiment, the size of the receiving hole 3 is larger than the size of the suture needle. Since foam is used, the foam has expansion properties, so the size needs to be larger than the size of the suture needle to avoid the suture needle getting stuck in the receiving hole 3 and not falling into the placement shell 4, thus improving the smoothness of the placement. In this embodiment, "larger" means that the gap between the suture needle and the receiving hole is between 1-3mm, which makes it convenient for the user to put the corresponding size of suture needle into the corresponding receiving hole 3, avoiding the possibility of mixing different sizes of suture needles and improving the convenience of storage.

[0024] In this embodiment, the size of the receiving hole 3 is set to be different to accommodate suture needles of different sizes.

[0025] A sliding plate 5 is provided on the housing 4, and a sliding hole is provided on the housing 2. The sliding plate 5 is slidably fitted in the sliding hole. The size of the sliding hole is smaller than the size of the sliding plate 5. "Smaller" means that the size of the sliding plate 5 is 3-8mm larger than the size of the receiving hole 3. Since foam has expansion properties, in this embodiment, the foam located in the sliding hole is provided with an anti-slip layer. The anti-slip layer is made of rubber. The rubber provides increased friction between the sliding plate 5 and the foam. The friction force is greater than the weight of the housing 4 and the sewing needle, which eliminates the need to use an additional locking device to restrict the sliding of the housing 4. This allows the user to quickly slide the housing 4 and improves the ease of use.

[0026] A limiting plate 6 is provided on the sliding plate 5, and a limiting hole is provided on the side wall of the receiving hole 3. The limiting plate 6 is slidably fitted in the limiting hole. The longitudinal section between the limiting plate 6 and the sliding plate 5 is approximately L-shaped, which can limit the placement shell 4 inside the shell 2 and prevent the placement shell 4 from separating from the shell 2.

[0027] The side wall of the housing 4 has a perforation for the user to take out the suture needle from the housing 4. The perforation makes the housing 4 have a hollow design, which makes it convenient for the user to take out the suture needle.

[0028] In this embodiment, the placement shell 4 is provided with a handle to facilitate the user to slide the placement shell 4.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
