Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to an intraoperative catheter storage box. Background Technology
[0002] The completeness and accuracy of inventory checks during surgery are among the core aspects of surgical procedures. In daily operating room work, there are procedures and methods for inventory checks of instruments on the operating table. For example, there are measuring cup devices for counting cotton balls to facilitate counting and reminders, basic instruments are connected by U-shaped rods for easy counting and reminders, gauze is stored in instrument boxes, and other instruments have standardized counting paths.
[0003] Drainage tubes are widely used in surgery, both major and minor, to guide pus, blood, and fluid accumulated in the surgical cavity to the outside of the body. Currently, in clinical practice, depending on the intraoperative situation, the catheter needs to be trimmed. For example, in microsurgery, the silicone urinary catheter needs to be divided into four equal parts for tissue traction; in ureteroplasty, the ureteral catheter needs to be trimmed to the appropriate length to explore the site of ureteral obstruction in the abdominal cavity; and in gastrointestinal surgery, the drainage tube needs to be trimmed. However, the lack of intraoperative catheter path and container inventory is a safety hazard due to incomplete inventory and the potential for foreign bodies to remain inside the body. There have been cases of intraoperative catheter retention in China.
[0004] How to provide an intraoperative catheter storage box is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this specification, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this specification are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0030] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this specification, when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component present. When a component is considered to be "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or there may be an intervening component present.
[0031] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides an intraoperative catheter storage box, which includes several catheter boxes 1, each catheter box 1 including an outer box body 11 and an inner box body 12, one end of the inner box body 12 being sleeved inside the outer box body 11 from one end of the outer box body 11, the inner box body 12 sliding left and right inside the outer box body 11, and one end of the inner box body 12 communicating with one end of the outer box body 11; several sets of partition components 2, the number of partition components 2 being adapted to the number of catheter boxes 1, each set of partition components 2 including several partitions 21, the several partitions 21 being movably installed at intervals inside the outer box body 11 and the inner box body 12, dividing the outer box body 11 and the inner box body 12 into several parts.
[0032] Specifically, during surgical preparation, if catheters are needed, the lid 3 of the catheter box 1 is opened, and the inner box body 12 is pulled out from the outer box body 11 to form a complete box. This box body has the same overall length as a conventional catheter. Medical staff move the partition 21 according to the type of surgery. For example, if microsurgery requires the catheter to be divided into four sections, the partition 21 is used to divide the entire box into four equal parts. After the surgery, each section of the catheter is placed in one of the four spaces in the box, indicating that all catheters used in the surgery have been removed. The catheter box 1 mainly serves as a reminder and... The container serves an inventory function, allowing medical staff to remove and place each catheter segment inside, facilitating the counting of all catheter segments. If not all catheters are placed inside, medical staff can clearly see the number and length of missing segments, preventing catheters from being left in the patient's body due to forgetfulness and potential medical accidents. The container is also retractable; when not in use, the inner container extends into the outer container, reducing its length and facilitating storage. Multiple catheter boxes can be connected to form a single unit. Each catheter box has an identical internal structure and can accommodate multiple catheters; the number of catheter boxes can be selected according to needs.
[0033] In some possible implementations, the two inner sidewalls of the outer box body 11 are each provided with a first guide groove 111, and the two outer sidewalls of the inner box body 12 are each provided with a first slider 121 adapted to the first guide groove 111, with the two first sliders 121 respectively engaging within the two first guide grooves 111. The length of the outer box body 11 is the same as the length of the inner box body 12.
[0034] Specifically, the inner box body 12 is slidably mounted on the first guide groove 111 of the outer box body 11 via the first slider 121, making it easy to pull out and push in. The length of the inner box body 12 is the same as the length of the outer box body 11, and the inner box body 12 can be pushed into the outer box body 11 except for one end of the box wall.
[0035] In some possible implementations, each set of partitions 21 has three partitions, with one partition 21 movably installed inside the outer box body 11 and two partitions 21 spaced apart inside the inner box body 12.
[0036] Specifically, under normal circumstances, the catheter during the procedure is divided into a maximum of four parts. When it is divided into four equal parts, one of the two partitions 21 of the inner box 12 moves to the middle and the other moves to the end closer to the outer box 11. The partition 21 of the outer box 11 moves to the middle of the inner box 12, thus dividing the whole into four equal parts. When it is only necessary to divide it into two or three parts, the partitions 21 of the outer box 11 or the inner box 12 can be moved to the ends that are far apart from each other.
[0037] In some possible implementations, the inner box body 12 has a second guide groove 122 on each of its two inner sidewalls. The two second guide grooves 122 are flush with the two first guide grooves 111. Each partition 21 is provided with two second sliders 211. One partition 21 is engaged in the two first guide grooves 111 by the second sliders 211, and the two partitions 21 are engaged in the two second guide grooves 122 at intervals by the second sliders 211.
[0038] Specifically, the two partitions 21 slide within the second guide groove 122 via the second slider 211, and one partition 21 slides within the first guide groove 111 via the second slider 211. When it is necessary to change the position of the partition 21, it is only necessary to move the partition 21. It is convenient to use. At the same time, the partition 21 is integrated with the outer box body 11 and the inner box body 12, which avoids the partition 21 from being scattered and possibly being missed when collecting.
[0039] In some possible implementations, there are two catheter boxes 1, and the two outer boxes 11 of the two catheter boxes 1 are connected to each other. The intraoperative catheter storage box also includes a lid 3, the length of which is adapted to the length of the outer box 11, and the lid 3 is hinged to the side wall of either outer box 11 away from the other outer box 11.
[0040] Specifically, two catheters are generally sufficient for use in general surgery. Therefore, the outer box 11 of the two catheter boxes 1 are connected on the side to form a two-space box. When not in use, the inner box 12 needs to be retracted into the outer box 11, and a box cover 3 is provided on the two outer boxes 11 to cover the entire device.
[0041] In some possible implementations, a label 4 is provided at the other end of the outer box 11. The length dimensions are marked on the inner sidewalls of both the outer box 11 and the inner box 12. Both the outer box 11 and the inner box 12 are made of medical-grade plastic.
[0042] Specifically, a label 4 is provided on the outer box 11 to facilitate storage and inventory by medical staff. The length is marked on both the outer box 11 and the inner box 12 to facilitate the movement of the partition 21. Before surgery, the partition 21 is moved to the designated position according to the usage requirements to facilitate the placement of catheters. Medical plastic is lighter, easier to sterilize, and can be used multiple times.
