Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sterilization tool technology, specifically to a three-dimensional mat for sterilization baskets. Background Technology

[0002] In sterilization, pressure steam sterilization is a highly efficient moist heat sterilization method that utilizes high-temperature, high-pressure saturated steam to kill microorganisms. Under specific pressure and temperature conditions, steam can penetrate the interior of the items being sterilized, causing denaturation of microbial macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids, thereby achieving sterilization. Pressure steam sterilization typically requires wrapping the items in sterilization packaging materials to ensure they remain sterile after sterilization. When sterilizing a small number of items or tools, paper-plastic bags are usually used to wrap them. When sterilizing multiple or large quantities of surgical instruments, sterilization baskets are typically used to hold all the instruments. The baskets are then wrapped in sterilization packaging materials, using a two-layer method (envelope-style and side-folding) to create a closed path, and finally sealed with special sealing tape to form the sterilization package. Closed-loop packaging typically uses medical crepe paper (water-repellent), medical non-woven fabric wrapping, cotton cloth, and other sterilization packaging materials. However, since the cleaning and disinfection baskets, sterilization racks, and transport vehicles are all made of stainless steel, dragging and collisions are inevitable during packaging and transportation, easily causing damage to the sterilization packaging materials. In the United States, 88g / m² non-woven fabric wrapping is used as sterilization packaging material to reduce the probability of sterilization package breakage, because once the sterilization package is damaged, it will lead to risks such as surgical delay and surgical infection. Currently, in my country, 60g / m² or 70g / m² medical crepe paper (water-repellent) is generally used. 45g / m², 50g / m², and 60g / m² SMS nonwoven fabric wrappings are used as sterilization packaging materials. While 60g / m² or 70g / m² medical crepe paper (water-repellent) offers higher barrier properties, its lower strength makes it prone to breakage, so it's rarely used domestically. Nonwoven fabric wrappings are stronger than crepe paper. Generally, 50g / m² nonwoven fabric wrappings are used for sizes under 80*80cm, while 60g / m² wrappings are typically used for sizes over 80*80cm. However, even with 60g / m² nonwoven fabric wrappings, surgical instruments wrapped in them often break after sterilization. Damaged packages must undergo the entire process of cleaning, drying, packaging, and sterilization again, significantly increasing costs. Furthermore, if the damage isn't detected before use, it poses a risk of surgical infection. Therefore, in order to reduce the probability of damage to medical crepe paper and non-woven fabric wrapping, some hospitals have adopted traditional cotton cloth as the sterilization packaging material for heavier instruments in larger surgical wrappings. However, traditional cotton cloth poses a great risk as a sterilization packaging material. It has poor microbial barrier function and no water repellency. The sterility validity period of cotton cloth is only 7 days in summer, while the sterility validity period of disposable packaging materials (medical crepe paper and non-woven fabric wrapping) is 180 days. The cost of repeated sterilization due to the short validity period is also extremely high.Therefore, there is an urgent need to reduce the probability of breakage of disposable packaging materials (medical crepe paper, non-woven fabric wrapping) after sterilization. Using thicker, heavier disposable packaging materials will lead to a greater increase in cost. For example, the raw material cost of 70g / ㎡ disposable packaging material is 16.6% higher than that of 60g / ㎡ disposable packaging material. Closed packaging generally adopts envelope-style packaging and side-folding packaging. Both envelope-style packaging and side-folding packaging create a closed path to wrap the sterilization basket through multiple folds at multiple angles. The area is large enough to achieve closed packaging. The probability of breakage at the top of the sterilization package is low. Generally, a 340*250*70 basket requires 90cm*90cm sterilization packaging material to achieve closed packaging. If the pallet liner uses 120g / ㎡ crepe paper, but its protected area is only the stress surface and sides of the basket, and it is not folded multiple times, then the 120g / ㎡ liner only needs to be 35cm*44cm. This area is less than 20% of the area of ​​the sterilization packaging material, which can achieve double the thickness of protection for the bottom and sides. If the same protective effect is achieved by increasing the thickness of the sterilization package to 120g / ㎡, the liner can reduce the cost by about 80%. The 120g / ㎡ crepe paper has larger folds, which makes it easier to provide cushioning in the event of a hard impact compared to flat products, and will effectively reduce the damage to the package caused by collision and dragging.

[0003] Wet package issue: During the pressure steam sterilization process, various factors such as poor steam saturation, poor drainage of the sterilizer, poor air permeability of the packaging material, or the presence of a large number of heavy metal items inside the package can lead to wet packages after pressure steam sterilization. A wet package refers to a package containing a large amount of moisture after pressure steam sterilization. Even after drying in the sterilizer, residual moisture remains inside the package, making it unusable.

[0004] Damage to sterilization packaging materials: High-temperature, high-pressure steam and mechanical vibrations during sterilization, including vacuuming and venting, can cause aging of sterilization packaging materials, reducing their strength. This is especially true when sterilization baskets carrying surgical instruments weighing over 3 kg are dragged, rubbed, or collided with stainless steel sterilization racks, loading trolleys, or storage racks. This lack of cushioning and friction during these hard-on-hard contact easily leads to packaging material damage. Damage to the packaging material allows external microorganisms to recontaminate the sterilized items. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a three-dimensional mat for sterilization baskets, which solves the problem in the prior art where, when surgical instruments are loaded into sterilization baskets and wrapped in sterilization packaging materials during pressure steam sterilization, there is a "hard-to-hard" contact between the sterilization baskets and other items during the transport and storage process after sterilization, resulting in damage to the sterilization packaging materials. When sterilization baskets are subjected to pressure steam sterilization, there is friction between the sterilization baskets and the items they carry, with only the sterilization packaging materials acting as a barrier and buffer, which easily leads to damage to the packaging materials.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A three-dimensional mat for a disinfection basket includes a medical crepe paper base and several crepe paper side pads connected around the edge of the crepe paper base. Each of the crepe paper side pads can be folded vertically along the connection point with the crepe paper base to form a protective groove on the upper side of the crepe paper base.

[0008] A further technical solution is that the crepe paper base pad is rectangular, and four crepe paper side pads are provided. The four crepe paper side pads are connected to the four sides of the crepe paper base pad respectively. When the four crepe paper side pads are in a vertical state, the sides of two adjacent crepe paper side pads are attached to each other.

[0009] A further technical solution is that the crepe paper base pad is circular, and there are four or more crepe paper side pads distributed along the circumference of the crepe paper base pad. When all the crepe paper side pads are in a vertical state, the sides of two adjacent crepe paper side pads are close to each other.

[0010] A further technical solution is to provide a handle on the side of the crepe paper pad that is away from the bottom crepe paper pad.

[0011] A further technical solution is that both the crepe paper base pad and the crepe paper side pad are made of medical crepe paper.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial effects: 1. With the help of the crepe paper bottom pad, it can act as a padding layer between the bottom of the sterilization basket and the packaging material, avoiding direct friction between the sterilization basket and the packaging material and reducing the damage to the packaging material caused by the "hard collision" between the sterilization basket and other items during sterilization, transfer, and storage. At the same time, it provides cushioning for the contact between the sterilization basket and the stainless steel sterilization rack, stainless steel transfer cart, and stainless steel loading rack, reducing the possibility of damage to the sterilization packaging material; 2. Through the crepe paper side pad, it can provide cushioning between the packaging material and the sterilization basket. The sides of the basket act as a padding layer, preventing the sterilization basket from directly rubbing against the packaging material and reducing the risk of damage to the packaging material due to "hard contact" between the sterilization basket and other items during sterilization, transfer, and storage. It also prevents instruments inside the sterilization basket from passing through the holes in the sterilization basket during transportation and puncturing the sterilization packaging material. At the same time, it reduces friction between the sterilization basket and the sterilization packaging material, thus reducing the risk of damage to the sterilization packaging material. 3. At the same time, this product also has a strong water absorption capacity, which can absorb condensate during pressure steam sterilization, thereby reducing the occurrence of wet packaging.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages 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.

[0018] Figures 1 to 3 The following is an embodiment of the present invention.

[0019] Example 1:

[0020] A three-dimensional mat for sterilization baskets includes a crepe paper base 1 and several crepe paper side pads 2 connected to the edge of the crepe paper base 1. Each of the side pads 2 can be folded vertically along its connection with the crepe paper base 1, forming a protective groove on the upper side of the crepe paper base 1. The crepe paper base 1 acts as a pad between the bottom of the sterilization basket 3 and the packaging material, preventing direct friction between the sterilization basket 3 and the packaging material, thus avoiding damage to the packaging. The crepe paper side pads 2 act as a pad between the packaging material and the sides of the sterilization basket 3, preventing direct friction between the sterilization basket 3 and the packaging material, thus avoiding damage to the packaging. Both the crepe paper base 1 and the crepe paper side pads 2 have strong water absorption properties, absorbing excess moisture inside the sterilization basket 3 after sterilization, thereby reducing the occurrence of wet packaging. The entire three-dimensional mat for sterilization baskets can be used not only on the outside of the sterilization basket 3 but also installed inside the sterilization basket 3 to separate the sterilized items from the sterilization basket 3. The width and length of the crepe paper bottom pad 1 and crepe paper side pad 2 can be adjusted according to the size of the disinfection basket 3.

[0021] Example 2:

[0022] Based on Example 1, the crepe paper base pad 1 is rectangular, and four crepe paper side pads 2 are provided. The four crepe paper side pads 2 are respectively connected to the four sides of the crepe paper base pad 1. When the four crepe paper side pads 2 are in a vertical state, the sides of two adjacent crepe paper side pads 2 are attached to each other. When the disinfection basket 3 is a cube, the crepe paper base pad 1 adopts a matching rectangle to fit the bottom of the disinfection basket 3.

[0023] Example 3:

[0024] Based on Example 1, the crepe paper base pad 1 is circular, and four or more crepe paper side pads 2 are provided and distributed along the circumference of the crepe paper base pad 1. When all the crepe paper side pads 2 are in a vertical state, the sides of two adjacent crepe paper side pads 2 are close to each other. When the disinfection basket 3 is cylindrical, the crepe paper base pad 1 adopts a matching circle to fit the bottom of the disinfection basket 3.

[0025] Example 4:

[0026] Based on the aforementioned embodiment, a handle 4 is provided on the side of the crepe paper side pad 2 away from the crepe paper bottom pad 1. This makes it easier for the operator to hold the handle 4 and operate, allowing for better sealing of the edges during wrapping.

[0027] Example 5:

[0028] Based on the aforementioned embodiments, both the crepe paper base pad 1 and the crepe paper side pad 2 are made of medical crepe paper.

[0029] The crepe paper base pad 1 and crepe paper side pad 2 in this invention can be made from 120g or other weight medical crepe paper, 100% pure wood pulp, which does not affect the penetration of sterilization agents. It uses only physical cutting technology, with no adhesives and no chemical residues. Its wet burst strength is far higher than ordinary paper products, and it is not easily damaged after absorbing water. At the same time, it has extremely low lint shedding in both dry and wet states, meeting the requirements of hospital sterilization supply centers.

[0030] In addition to medical crepe paper, the materials for the crepe paper base pad 1 and crepe paper side pad 2 can also be non-woven fabric or other types of paper.

[0031] Although the present invention has been described herein with reference to several illustrative embodiments, it should be understood that many other modifications and implementations can be devised by those skilled in the art, which will fall within the scope and spirit of the principles disclosed herein. More specifically, various variations and modifications can be made to the components and / or layout of the subject matter combination within the scope of the disclosure, drawings, and claims. Besides variations and modifications to the components and / or layout, other uses will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
