Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a specimen positioning and delivery box. Background Technology
[0002] Current breast-conserving surgery aims to remove as much tumor as possible while preserving as much normal breast tissue as possible. The surgical margins must be free of tumor residue. In practice, the removed tumor specimen is manually sent to the pathology department for microscopic examination. If tumor cells remain in any location, the remaining tissue in that area needs further extensive resection. Currently, most clinicians use a simple suture marking method to roughly locate the tumor specimen. This involves dividing the removed specimen into four directions (upper, lower, inner, and outer) and marking them with different sutures. While this provides a rough location, its accuracy is low. Furthermore, effective fixation of the removed specimen is lacking.
[0003] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a specimen positioning and delivery box.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Example: A specimen positioning and delivery kit, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the device includes a box body 1 and a lid 2 for sealing the box body 1. The box body 1 and the lid 2 are made of biocompatible plastics, such as polycarbonate (PC) or medical-grade polypropylene (PP). The lid 2 is transparent to provide good visibility, allowing surgeons and pathologists to observe the condition and location of the breast tumor specimen. The box body 1 has a disc-shaped structure, and the lid 2 is detachably mounted on the upper surface of the box body 1. This structure facilitates the opening and closing of the box body 1 by the lid 2, thereby facilitating the placement and removal of the specimen.
[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a first groove 3 is provided on the upper surface of the box body 1. The cross-section of the first groove 3 is circular and is used to accommodate the specimen. Several protrusions 8 are provided on the bottom of the first groove 3. The protrusions 8 have an anti-slip effect and prevent the specimen placed in the first groove 3 from moving.
[0028] like Figure 1As shown, four sets of fixing members 4 for fixing the specimen are detachably installed on the upper surface of the box body 1 at the edge of the first groove 3. The four sets of fixing members 4 are arranged symmetrically in pairs. The four sets of fixing members 4 are combined to form a cross-shaped structure, which fixes the specimen from four different directions, so that the specimen is stably fixed and avoids positional displacement during transportation.
[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixing component 4 includes a bracket 401, a frame 402, and a fixing post 403. The frame 402 is installed at one end of the bracket 401, and the other end of the bracket 401 is installed on the upper surface of the box body 1. The fixing post 403 is installed through the frame 402. An inner groove 404 is opened on one side of the frame 402. A toothed block 405 is slidably arranged in the inner groove 404. A toothed tooth is provided on one side of the toothed block 405. A first screw hole 406 is opened on the top of the frame 402. A first wing bolt 407 that is rotatably connected to the toothed block 405 is threaded in the first screw hole 406. A toothed groove 408 is opened on one side of the fixing post 403 for the toothed tooth of the toothed block 405 to be inserted. By setting the first wing bolt 407, the position of the toothed block 405 in the inner groove 404 can be adjusted, thereby realizing the locking and movement of the fixing post 403. That is, when the teeth on the toothed block 405 are embedded in the tooth groove 408, the fixing post 403 is locked; when the teeth on the toothed block 405 are disengaged from the tooth groove 408, the fixing post 403 is moved. When the fixing post 403 is in the moving state, the length of the part of the fixing post 403 corresponding to the first groove 3 can be adjusted by pushing and pulling the fixing post 403 to adapt to the fixing of specimens of different sizes.
[0030] As a preferred option, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first wing bolt 407 and the toothed block 405 are rotatably connected by a rotating block 417 and a rotating groove 418. For example, a rotating block 417 is provided at the end of the first wing bolt 407. The rotating block 417 is annular. A rotating groove 418 that matches the rotating block 417 is opened in the toothed block 405. When the first wing bolt 407 rotates, it drives the rotating block 417 at its end to rotate together, so that the rotating block 417 rotates in the rotating groove 418, thereby causing the first wing bolt 407 to rotate on the toothed block 405.
[0031] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, one end of the bracket 401 has a mounting groove 409 for mounting the frame 402. Both sides of the frame 402 have rotating shafts 410, and both sides of the mounting groove 409 have through holes 411 for rotating the rotating shafts 410. By setting the rotating shafts 410 and the through holes 411, the fixing column 403 can rotate around the rotating shafts 410 as the axis, thereby adapting to the fixing of specimens of different thicknesses.
[0032] Furthermore, a second groove 412 coaxial with the rotating shaft 410 is provided on one side of the frame 402. The second groove 412 is annular. A second screw hole 413 corresponding to the second groove 412 is provided on one side of the mounting groove 409. A second wing bolt 419 is threaded into the second screw hole 413. The fixing post 403 is fixed after rotation by the end of the second wing bolt 419 abutting against the bottom of the second groove 412. Preferably, multiple second screw holes 413 can be provided to improve the fixing effect of the frame 402 and thus improve the fixing effect of the fixing post 403.
[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, one end of the lower surface of the fixation post 403 has a slope 416 that slopes downwards towards the other end, meaning the other end of the fixation post 403 is duckbill-shaped. This increases the contact area with the specimen, thereby improving the firmness and stability of the fixation. Preferably, the fixation post 403 can be made of medical-grade silicone, or a medical-grade silicone pad can be installed on the slope 416 of the fixation post 403. This ensures that the fixation post 403 can fix the specimen while avoiding excessive pressure on the specimen tissue. At the same time, the anti-slip properties of silicone further improve the fixation effect and prevent the specimen from deflecting or shifting during transport.
[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the other end of the support 401 is provided with a mounting post 414. The mounting post 414 has a square structure. The upper surface of the box 1 has a mounting hole 415 that matches the mounting post 414. The support 401 is installed on the upper surface of the box 1 through the insertion and engagement of the mounting post 414 and the mounting hole 415. With the above structure, the support 401 can be detachably installed on the box 1 through the insertion and engagement of the mounting post 414 and the mounting hole 415, so as to realize the quick installation and removal of the support 401. That is, when the specimen is sent to the pathology department, the pathologist can pull the support 401 upward to quickly detach the support 401 from the box 1, so as to quickly remove the specimen. At the same time, since the mounting post 414 has a square structure, the installation direction of the support 401 is unique and will not rotate after installation, so as to avoid the support 401 rotating under external force and affecting the fixation of the specimen.
[0035] like Figure 2As shown, the bottom of the first groove 3 is provided with angle marks 5 for marking the angle of the specimen and scale marks 6 for marking the size of the specimen. The upper surface of the box 1, located at the edge of the first groove 3, is provided with orientation marks 7 for marking the orientation of the specimen. By setting angle marks 5, scale marks 6, and orientation marks 7, the direction of the cut edge can be easily identified during surgery and pathological examination. Preferably, angle marks 5, scale marks 6, and orientation marks 7 can be different colors. For example, in orientation marks 7, a color scheme of blue on top, red on the bottom, green inside, and yellow outside can be used, making the markings both intuitive and easy to distinguish.
[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, a third groove 9 is provided at the edge of the upper surface of the box body 1, and the box cover 2 is installed on the upper surface of the box body 1 by inserting its end into the third groove 9; with the above structure, it is easy to open and close the box body 1, thereby facilitating the handling of specimens.
[0037] In use, the removed breast tumor specimen is placed in the first groove 3 of the box 1. Then, the first butterfly bolt 407 and the second butterfly bolt 419 are loosened. By turning the first butterfly bolt 407, the toothed block 405 is moved upward and the teeth on the toothed block 405 are disengaged from the toothed groove 408 on the fixing post 403, thus releasing the lock on the fixing post 403. By turning the second butterfly bolt 419, the end of the second butterfly bolt 419 is prevented from contacting the bottom of the second groove 412, thereby allowing the fixing post 403 to rotate around the pivot 410. Next, the fixing post 403 is adjusted. Make the inclined surface 416 of one end of the fixing post 403 abut against the specimen; then, tighten the first wing bolt 407 and the second wing bolt 419, and use the four sets of fixing posts 403 to position and fix the specimen from four different directions. By turning the first wing bolt 407, the toothed block 405 moves downward and the teeth on the toothed block 405 are embedded into the tooth groove 408 on the fixing post 403 to lock the length of the fixing post 403. By turning the second wing bolt 419, the end of the second wing bolt 419 abuts against the bottom of the second groove 412 to lock the angle of the fixing post 403.
[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
