Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of storing surgical suture needles, and in particular to a storage box for surgical suture needles. Background Technology
[0002] Surgical sutures, also known as medical sutures, are indispensable tools in surgical procedures. They are mainly used to suture wounds and promote wound healing. They are used not only for suturing wounds on the patient's skin surface but also for suturing wounds inside the patient's body. Therefore, in order to prevent sutures from being left inside the patient's body during surgery, the number of sutures needs to be counted after surgery.
[0003] Generally, surgical sutures are stored using methods such as a surgical suture needle storage and counting box disclosed in utility model patent CN220695303U and a surgical suture needle temporary storage box disclosed in utility model patent CN217118479U.
[0004] However, during use, it was found that the existing storage device has a relatively simple structure. After use, the surgical suture needles are often covered with blood stains. Directly placing them into the storage device makes it inconvenient for medical staff to observe and count the surgical suture needles, resulting in poor practicality. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a surgical suture needle storage box to improve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a surgical suture storage box that allows the cleaning mechanism to be pulled out from the sealing mechanism, the surgical suture needle to be placed in the limiting mechanism, the cleaning mechanism to be reset, and the blood stains on the surgical suture needle to be cleaned by the cleaning mechanism. Afterwards, medical personnel can count the number and type of surgical suture needles in the sealing mechanism under light, thereby improving the practicality of the equipment.
[0006] This utility model discloses a surgical suture needle storage box, which includes a sealing mechanism, a limiting mechanism, and a cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism is installed in the sealing mechanism, and the limiting mechanism is installed on the cleaning mechanism.
[0007] The sealing mechanism, in conjunction with the limiting mechanism and the cleaning mechanism, stores the surgical suture needles, and the cleaning mechanism cleans the surgical suture needles.
[0008] Pull the cleaning mechanism out of the sealing mechanism, then place the surgical suture needle into the limiting mechanism, then reset the cleaning mechanism, and then clean the bloodstains on the surgical suture needle through the cleaning mechanism. Afterwards, medical personnel count the number and type of surgical suture needles in the sealing mechanism under the light, thereby improving the practicality of the equipment.
[0009] Preferably, the sealing mechanism includes a transparent sealing cylinder and a sealing cap. The sealing cap is threaded onto the transparent sealing cylinder, and a sealing ring is provided inside the sealing cap. The middle part of the sealing cap is rotatably sealed to the cleaning mechanism. The surgical suture needle is fixed by a limiting mechanism, and then the cleaning mechanism is pushed into the transparent sealing cylinder. The sealing cap is then rotated to make the sealing cap threadedly connected to the transparent sealing cylinder, thereby storing the surgical suture needle and improving the practicality of the device.
[0010] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes a storage cylinder, a piston, a pull rod, and a water bladder. The storage cylinder is slidably installed inside the transparent sealed cylinder. A storage groove is provided on the surface of the storage cylinder, and a drain outlet is provided at the right end of the storage cylinder. The piston is slidably installed inside the storage cylinder, the pull rod is mounted on the piston, and the water bladder is mounted on the right end of the transparent sealed cylinder. The storage cylinder is pulled out from inside the transparent sealed cylinder, and by pulling the pull rod, the piston moves to the left, drawing disinfectant into the storage cylinder. Then, the right end of the storage cylinder is inserted back into the transparent sealed cylinder. The used surgical suture needle is placed into the storage groove on the surface of the storage cylinder, and the limiting mechanism guides the surgical suture needle. After securing the device, fully insert the storage cylinder into the transparent sealing cylinder. Rotate the sealing cap to connect it to the transparent sealing cylinder via threads. Push the lever to allow the storage cylinder to discharge disinfectant into the transparent sealing cylinder. Simultaneously, the water bladder expands. Medical personnel can shake the transparent sealing cylinder to flush away blood and smudges from the surgical sutures with the disinfectant. Then, stand the transparent sealing cylinder upright to collect the wastewater in the water bladder. Pulling the lever upwards, along with the elasticity of the water bladder, allows the wastewater to return to the storage cylinder. This allows medical personnel to easily observe and count the surgical sutures through the transparent sealing cylinder, thus improving the device's practicality.
[0011] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes multiple sets of permanent magnet blocks and multiple sets of magnetic metal columns. The multiple sets of magnetic metal columns are respectively installed in multiple storage slots of the storage cylinder. Each set of permanent magnet blocks is provided with a limiting hole, and the multiple sets of permanent magnet blocks are respectively fastened to the multiple sets of magnetic metal columns. The magnetic surgical suture needle is attracted by the multiple sets of magnetic metal columns, thereby improving the fixation effect of the surgical suture needle.
[0012] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes multiple sets of silicone blocks, each of the multiple storage slots of the storage cylinder is provided with a limiting groove, each of the multiple sets of silicone blocks is provided with a protrusion, and the protrusions on the multiple sets of silicone blocks are respectively engaged in the multiple sets of limiting grooves; the used surgical suture needle is inserted into the silicone block to fix the surgical suture needle, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0013] Preferably, each of the multiple storage slots on the storage cylinder is equipped with a refracting mirror on its side wall; under light, the light is focused in the middle of the storage slot by the multiple refracting mirrors, which makes it easier for medical personnel to observe the number and shape of surgical sutures on the limiting mechanism, thereby improving the practicality of the equipment.
[0014] Preferably, the inner wall of the transparent sealing cylinder is provided with multiple sets of guide grooves, and the outer surface of the storage cylinder is provided with multiple sets of rubber guide rails. The multiple sets of rubber guide rails are respectively installed in the multiple sets of guide grooves on the transparent sealing cylinder, and the multiple sets of rubber guide rails are respectively interference-fitted to the multiple sets of guide grooves on the transparent sealing cylinder. By sliding the multiple sets of rubber guide rails in the multiple sets of guide grooves on the transparent sealing cylinder, the storage cylinder is guided. Furthermore, by interference-fitting the multiple sets of rubber guide rails with the multiple sets of guide grooves on the transparent sealing cylinder, it is convenient to pull out part of the storage cylinder from the transparent sealing cylinder, and the pulled-out storage cylinder is limited, thereby improving the practicality of the equipment.
[0015] Preferably, the transparent sealing cylinder is fitted with a multi-faceted sleeve, and the multiple sets of planes on the multi-faceted sleeve correspond to the multiple sets of horizontal storage slots on the storage cylinder. After the medical staff counts the surgical sutures in a row of horizontal storage slots on the storage cylinder, they can mark a set of planes on the multi-faceted sleeve that correspond to this row, thereby improving the convenience of counting.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the cleaning mechanism is pulled out from the sealing mechanism, the surgical suture needle is placed in the limiting mechanism, the cleaning mechanism is then reset, and the blood stains on the surgical suture needle are cleaned by the cleaning mechanism. After that, medical personnel count the number and type of surgical suture needles in the sealing mechanism under the light, thereby improving the practicality of the equipment.
