Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, it relates to a disposable surgical suture fixator. Background Technology

[0002] In actual surgical procedures, the subsequent placement of disposable surgical sutures has long been a problem for medical staff, causing many inconveniences and safety hazards to the surgical process.

[0003] Currently, traditional operating room layouts and instrument configurations do not include a dedicated storage area for used surgical sutures. During surgery, the instrument table, as a centralized area for various surgical instruments, is already limited in space and compactly laid out. Used surgical sutures are also left on the instrument table after use, without a designated location. This makes the operating table appear cluttered and disorganized, hindering medical staff from quickly and accurately retrieving the necessary instruments at critical moments in the surgery, and also increasing their time cost in identifying the location of surgical sutures, thus slowing down the surgical process.

[0004] Even more serious is the fact that used surgical suture needles are left completely exposed on the instrument table. The operating room is a fast-paced and demanding environment, requiring medical staff to be fully focused on each surgical procedure and frequently operate various instruments on the table. In this situation, the exposed surgical suture needle could easily pierce the glove and then the skin, posing a risk of accidental needle pricks to medical staff. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a disposable surgical suture fixator, which aims to solve the problem that surgical sutures do not have a fixed dedicated position on the instrument table, and the surgical suture needle tip is exposed, which may cause accidental injury to medical staff.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: to provide a disposable surgical suture fixator, comprising:

[0007] Insertion soft body, wherein the insertion soft body has an insertion surface for insertion by a disposable surgical suture needle;

[0008] A protective hard body is provided around the periphery of the insertion soft body. The protective hard body has an insertion notch, which is provided corresponding to the insertion surface.

[0023] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 2 The disposable surgical suture fixator provided by this utility model will now be described. The disposable surgical suture fixator includes an insertion soft body 100 and a protective hard body 200.

[0025] The insertion soft body 100 has an insertion surface 110 for a disposable surgical suture needle to insert into. The protective hard body 200 is arranged around the outer periphery of the insertion soft body 100. The protective hard body 200 has an insertion notch, which is correspondingly arranged with the insertion surface 110. The protective hard body 200 is used to prevent the disposable surgical suture needle that has been inserted into the insertion soft body 100 from being ejected.

[0026] The disposable surgical suture fixator provided by this utility model, compared with the prior art, has an insertion surface 110 for the insertion soft body 100 and an insertion notch for the protective hard body 200. The insertion notch is correspondingly arranged with the insertion surface 110, and the protective hard body 200 surrounds the outer periphery of the insertion soft body 100. When using the disposable surgical suture fixator provided by this utility model, the disposable surgical suture passes through the insertion notch of the protective hard body 200 and inserts into the insertion soft body 100 from the insertion surface 110. The protective hard body 200 can prevent the disposable surgical suture from being inserted out. Finally, the disposable surgical sutures are inserted into the fixator, which can organize the disposable surgical sutures and prevent their needles from being exposed.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 2The insertion surface 110 has multiple insertion zones along its length, and the protective hardware 200 has corresponding marking areas 210 on each insertion zone. Multiple marking areas 210 are precisely positioned on the protective hardware 200 corresponding to the insertion zones, with marking lines 240 between adjacent marking areas 210. All marking areas 210 use bright, eye-catching colors or text markings, allowing surgeons to quickly and intuitively identify the corresponding insertion zone with a single glance during a busy surgical procedure. This enables the surgeon to accurately select the appropriate insertion zone for suture operation based on the actual needs of the surgery. Simultaneously, the marking areas 210 on the protective hardware 200 also remind the surgeon of the suture insertion area, preventing accidental insertion of the needle into other areas, further enhancing the accuracy of the surgical operation and providing a solid guarantee for the smooth progress of the surgery. The marking line 240 not only serves to separate adjacent marking areas 210, but also makes the entire marking system clearer and easier to understand, facilitating the standardization of the surgical suture needle insertion location range, and helping to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the operation.

[0028] Preferably, multiple labels 220 are sequentially arranged within the multiple labeling areas 210. These labels 220 are presented in a clear and conspicuous numerical form, arranged from one end of the fixator to the other, or according to the chronological order of the routine surgical procedure. The labels 220 can be raised or recessed sequential numbers in the labeling areas 210, or the sequential numbers can be directly marked on the labeling areas 210 by writing or engraving.

[0029] During complex surgical suturing procedures, medical staff can quickly identify the corresponding insertion area for each 220 needle by rapidly recognizing the 220 marking, based on the pre-planned surgical strategy. For example, the area marked "1" might be suitable for delicate suturing of superficial skin, while the area marked "3" might be suitable for suturing deep muscle tissue.

[0030] Specifically, the protective hard body 200 and the insertion soft body 100 are bonded and fixed. During the adhesive application process, the adhesive is evenly and appropriately distributed on the mating surfaces of the protective hard body 200 and the insertion soft body 100. This avoids both excessive adhesive leading to unevenness and affecting subsequent use, and insufficient adhesive causing weak adhesion. In actual surgical applications, the fixator is inevitably subjected to various external impacts, such as instrument collisions. Thanks to the strong adhesion, the protective hard body 200 and the insertion soft body 100 maintain a tight, integrated state, preventing separation or misalignment. This ensures that when the suture needle pierces the soft body 100, the protective hard body 200 can stably play its crucial role in preventing the suture needle from protruding.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 2The protective hardware 200 has at least one mounting surface, on which an adhesive layer 230 is provided. The adhesive layer 230 uses double-sided adhesive, one side of which is bonded to the mounting surface of the protective hardware 200, and the other side can be bonded to a corresponding instrument, such as a surgical instrument tray, to keep the fixation device stable.

[0032] Specifically, the protective hardware 200 is a U-shaped frame that surrounds the periphery of the insertion soft body 100, with the open end of the U-shaped frame forming an insertion notch. The insertion soft body 100 has an elongated structure, with the U-shaped frame surrounding its periphery on three sides. The insertion notch at the U-shaped opening of the frame corresponds to an insertion surface 110 formed on one side of the insertion soft body 100. All surgical needles are inserted sequentially along the length of the elongated insertion soft body 100 through the insertion surface 110. The edges of the U-shaped frame are finely polished to a smooth, rounded shape, effectively preventing scratches to the hands of medical personnel or accidental damage to the needles during insertion and removal.

[0033] Specifically, the insertion soft material 100 is any one or any combination of rubber, silicone, or medical sponge. The insertion soft material 100 is relatively soft, which makes it easy for surgical needles to be inserted and reduces the difficulty of operation for medical staff.

[0034] Specifically, the protective hardware 200 is made of any one of polycarbonate, polytetrafluoroethylene, polystyrene or acrylic. The protective hardware 200 is relatively hard and will not be punctured by surgical needles, thus avoiding the situation where surgical needles accidentally puncture the protective hardware 200 and cause injury. In addition, the protective hardware 200 is lightweight, which facilitates the movement and fixation of the fixation device.

[0035] 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 and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
