[0031] See attached document Figure 1 This application provides a surgical instrument sterilization device, including a sterilization box 2 and a sterilization rack 1. The sterilization rack 1 is elliptical and disposed inside the sterilization box 2. The sterilization rack 1 includes an outer frame box 101. The outer frame box 101 has multiple sterilization baskets 102 arranged in layers inside. The sterilization baskets 102 can enter and exit the outer frame box 101. At least two parallel portal-shaped support frames 103 are suspended inside the sterilization baskets 102. The portal-shaped support frames 103 have multiple continuous slots 104 arranged along their length.
[0032] Currently, the urgent problem to be solved for traditional immersion-based surgical instrument disinfection is how to reduce the contact area between surgical instruments during disinfection, so that the surgical instruments can have relatively more sufficient contact with the disinfectant.
[0033] Therefore, in this embodiment, by suspending at least two parallel portal-shaped support frames 103 within the sterilization basket 102, surgical instruments can be placed across the portal-shaped support frames 103 during sterilization, elevating the instruments and reducing the contact area between the instruments and the sterilization basket 102. Furthermore, by providing slots 104 on the portal-shaped support frames 103, surgical instruments can be placed at intervals to avoid contact between them, further reducing the contact area. The slots 104 also prevent instruments from being scratched due to contact, which not only improves the sterilization effect but also facilitates the removal and placement of instruments after sterilization.
[0034] It is understandable that by setting up multi-layer sterilization baskets 102, surgical instruments can be classified and placed, which facilitates the storage and classification of instruments after sterilization. Of course, the distance between the gate-shaped support frames 103 and the width of the slots 104 can be designed according to the specific surgical instruments (such as surgical forceps, surgical tweezers, etc.). Both ends of the surgical instruments need to protrude outside the gate-shaped support frames 103, and the surgical instruments are inserted into the slots 104 in a side-mounted manner. The width of the slots 104 is 5 mm greater than the thickness of the surgical instruments.
[0035] Since surgical instruments are precision instruments, in order to avoid wear and scratches on the surgical instruments during the sterilization process, in one embodiment, the surface of the portal support frame 103 is covered with a silicone pad. It can be imagined that in this embodiment, when the surgical instruments are sterilized, the surgical instruments are placed on the portal support frame 103. The silicone pad can prevent the surgical instruments from making direct hard contact with the portal support frame 103, thereby helping to avoid scratches and abrasions between the surgical instruments and the portal support frame 103.
[0036] In one embodiment, to facilitate the removal of surgical instruments from the sterilization basket 102 in the outer frame box 101 after sterilization, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the outer frame box 101 has an open side facade, and the open side facade is provided with insert plates 111.
[0037] In this embodiment, after disinfection, the insert plate 111 is lifted upward from the outer frame box 101, forming an open side facade on the outer frame box 101. Thus, the disinfection basket 102 slides out from the inside of the outer frame box 101 toward the open side facade. It should be noted that the disinfection baskets 102 need to slide out one by one from top to bottom, so that the disinfection baskets 102 do not block each other after sliding out, thereby facilitating the removal of surgical instruments from each disinfection basket 102.
[0038] Of course, in one embodiment, in order to smoothly move the disinfection basket 102 into and out of the outer shelf box 101, such as... Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the inner side of the outer frame box 101 is provided with a guide rail 105 facing the open side facade. The guide rail 105 can be welded to the inner wall of the outer frame box 101 or fixed by bolts. A slider assembly is installed inside the guide rail 105. The slider assembly slides along the guide rail 105 and is installed at the bottom of the disinfection basket 102 by means of integral molding or bolt fixing.
[0039] In this embodiment, the disinfection basket 102 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 105 via the slider assembly. The sliding cooperation between the slider assembly and the guide rail 105 makes it easy for the disinfection basket 102 to enter and exit the outer frame box 101.
[0040] Therefore, it can be imagined that after disinfection, the insert plate 111 is removed and the disinfection baskets 102 are slid outward from the open side facade to remove the surgical instruments. When disinfecting, the instruments are placed into the disinfection baskets 102 and then pushed into the outer frame box 101. Then the insert plate 111 is inserted into the outer frame box 101, and the insert plate 111 can be used to prevent the disinfection baskets 102 from sliding outward.
[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the slider assembly includes a first slider 106 and a second slider 107, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the disinfection basket 102. The first slider 106 can slide out of the guide rail 105, while the second slider 107 is confined within the guide rail 105. Specifically, the guide rail 105 has a groove extending along its length, and both the first slider 106 and the second slider 107 conform to the contour of the groove. Simultaneously, the guide rail 105 has a lateral limiting groove 108 extending in the same direction as the groove, and the limiting groove 108 has a closed design at both ends. The second slider 107 has a lateral limiting block 109 that engages with the limiting groove 108, and the limiting block 109 slides in cooperation with the limiting groove 108.
[0042] In this embodiment, it is easy to understand that by setting the first slider 106 and the second slider 107, the disinfection basket 102 can slide relatively stably on the guide rail 105. Furthermore, by using the limiting block 109 set in the second slider 107 and the limiting groove 108 set in the guide rail 105, the disinfection basket 102 can be prevented from falling off the guide rail 105 during the process of sliding out of the outer frame box 101. The closed design at both ends of the limiting groove 108 can achieve the effect of preventing the disinfection basket 102 from falling off.
[0043] Furthermore, during disinfection, after the outer frame box 101 is placed into the disinfection box 2, disinfectant is injected from the top of the disinfection box 2. To achieve disinfectant immersion of surgical instruments in the disinfection baskets 102 inside the outer frame box 101, in one embodiment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the bottom plate of the sterilization basket 102 is provided with drainage holes. It is conceivable that, in this embodiment, after the disinfectant is injected from the top of the sterilization tank 2, the disinfectant gradually submerges the sterilization basket 102 through the drainage holes, thus ensuring that all surgical instruments in the sterilization basket 102 are immersed in the disinfectant. Of course, to allow the disinfectant in the sterilization basket 102 to drain out when it is lifted, drainage holes are also provided on the bottom plate of the outer frame box 101. Therefore, it is easy to imagine that after sterilization, as the outer frame box 101 is lifted, the disinfectant can drip from the drainage holes at the bottom of the outer frame box 101 into the sterilization tank 2, thus achieving a drainage effect.
[0044] It's not hard to understand, such as Figure 1 As shown, a drain pipe is installed at the bottom of the disinfection tank 2 to discharge the used disinfectant solution. Of course, the wastewater from cleaning the disinfection tank 2 can also be discharged through this drain pipe. Presumably, a valve is installed on the drain pipe to control its opening and closing.
[0045] After disinfection is completed, the current practice is to manually lift the sterilization basket 102 containing the surgical instruments from the sterilization pool, which is quite laborious.
[0046] Therefore, in this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the inner side of the disinfection box 2 is provided with a lifting slide groove, and the outer side of the outer frame box 101 is provided with a lifting slide rail 110. After the outer frame box 101 is placed into the disinfection box 2, the lifting slide rail 110 is installed into the lifting slide groove, so that the outer frame box 101 and the disinfection box 2 form a sliding connection. At the same time, a lifting mechanism 3 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the disinfection box 2. The lifting mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the outer frame box 101 through an L-shaped connecting rod 4.
[0047] In the above embodiment, the lifting mechanism 3 can be extended and retracted to lift the outer frame box 101, thereby lifting and placing the outer frame box 101 into the disinfection box 2 without manual intervention, which greatly reduces the workload of medical staff.
[0048] It should be noted that electric push rods can be preferred for lifting mechanism 3.
[0049] In summary, the method of using the surgical instrument sterilization device provided in this application embodiment is as follows:
[0050] First, the outer frame box 101 is lifted out of the disinfection box 2 by the lifting mechanism 3;
[0051] Next, remove the insert plate 111, and pull out the sterilization baskets 102 one by one from the bottom up from the outer frame box 101 and put in the surgical instruments;
[0052] Then, push the disinfection basket 102 into the outer frame box 101 and install the insert plate 111;
[0053] Next, the outer frame box 101 is placed into the sterilization box 2 through the lifting mechanism 3, and then sterilization solution is injected into the sterilization box 2 to soak the surgical instruments.
[0054] Finally, after the soaking time has elapsed, the outer frame box 101 is lifted by the lifting mechanism 3, and after the disinfectant is drained, the insert plate 111 is removed, and the surgical instruments are taken out one by one by pulling out the disinfection basket 102.
[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
