Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, and in particular relates to a surgical suture collector based on the operating room. Background Technology

[0002] A suture needle is an instrument used for suturing various tissues. It consists of three basic parts: the needle tip, the needle body, and the eye of the needle. Needle tips are classified into three types based on shape: round, triangular, and spatula-shaped. The needle body comes in three shapes: nearly round, triangular, and spatula-shaped. The eye of the needle is the hole through which the suture is inserted; there are two types: a standard eye and a spring-loaded eye. Round needles are classified according to their curvature, such as 1 / 2 and 3 / 8 curvature, with larger curvature needles often used for deep tissues.

[0003] With advancements in medical technology, the use of various sizes of sutures in surgery has increased significantly, with dozens of pairs of sutures used in each procedure. The demand for non-invasive sutures is substantial during surgery, and these sutures are difficult to locate if lost. Traditional suture collection trays are insufficient for efficient suture management and also increase the risk of occupational exposure for scrub nurses during surgery. Utility Model Content

[0024] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed account of a surgical suture collector based on an operating room.

[0025] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model discloses a surgical suture collector for use in an operating room, comprising a protective shell 1 and a collection plate 5 disposed within the cavity of the protective shell 1. The protective shell 1 has a hollow structure, and one end of the protective shell 1 has an opening 4. A cover plate 2 is folded and connected to the end of the protective shell 1. The cooperation between the protective shell 1 and the cover plate 2 facilitates the storage of the collection plate 5 inside the protective shell 1. A connecting block 3 is folded and connected to the side wall of the cover plate 2. The connecting block 3 is connected to the surface of the protective shell 1 via Velcro or snap fasteners. By setting the connecting block 3 to the protective shell 1 via Velcro or snap fasteners, it is easy to open and close the cover plate 2. A partition 7 is disposed along the length of the upper surface of the collection plate 5 in the middle. The length and width of the cavity of the protective shell 1 are equal to the length and width of the collection plate 5, and the height of the cavity of the protective shell 1 is equal to the sum of the heights of the collection plate 5 and the partition 7, which can effectively prevent the collection plate 5 from shaking inside the protective shell 1. A handle groove 6 is provided in the middle of the end surface of the collection plate 5. The handle groove 6 makes it easy to pull the collection plate 5 out of the protective shell 1.

[0026] Foam boards 8 are provided on both sides of the upper surface of the collection plate 5, located on the partition 7. Each foam board 8 has multiple equally spaced protrusions 9 along its length on its upper surface. There are twenty protrusions 9 on each foam board 8, and each protrusion 9 has a notch 10 at its end. The partition 7 divides the collection plate 5 into two areas, which can be distinguished by red and blue. The blue area is the area where needles can be placed, and the red area is the area where needles cannot be placed. Each area is divided into twenty protrusions 9 for placing surgical needles, and they are identified by numbers. After a needle is used from the blue area, the needle is inserted into the corresponding protrusion 9 in the red or blue area. At the end of the operation, the surgical needles can be quickly counted by observing the two areas, which is clear at a glance and can effectively prevent the loss of surgical needles. The foam boards 8 are made of high-density foam, which helps to prevent the needle tip from protruding after being inserted into the protrusion 9, and also makes it easy to remove. A first gap 11 is formed between each pair of adjacent protrusions 9, and a second gap 12 is provided on the upper surface of the protrusion 9. The second gap 12 is perpendicular to the first gap 11. The cooperation between the first gap 11 and the second gap 12 facilitates the clamping and arrangement of the stitching.

[0027] During surgery, the scrub nurse can easily place the sutures on the foam board 8 with one hand, requiring no effort and preventing deformation or dulling of the sutures. No small debris is brought out during suture removal. The color of the foam board contrasts sharply with the suture color, making it easy to identify. This eliminates the need to manually reposition the sutures during frequent needle changes, allowing nursing staff to clearly observe the suture placement and usage. It also significantly reduces needlestick injuries and suture loss. In contrast, the traditional method of directly repositioning the sutures onto the included needle plate is time-consuming and as difficult as reattaching the needle tip during frequent needle changes, impacting the efficiency of medical staff and increasing occupational exposure risks. Compared to conventional surgery, the use of this surgical needle collector significantly reduces the probability of needlestick injuries and needle loss during surgery. Furthermore, it reduces the average needle change time and postoperative counting time. This invention separates used and unused needles through color coding and fixed placement, facilitating needle retrieval and replacement by scrub nurses during surgery. Numerical labeling ensures convenient retrieval and storage, reducing needle change time and the average time spent on needle replacement during surgery. It also facilitates postoperative needle counting, shortening counting time, improving staff satisfaction, reducing surgical anxiety, and promoting high-standard surgical completion. In conclusion, this surgical needle collector provides a temporary storage area for needles during surgery, enabling scrub nurses to manage surgical needles more safely, conveniently, and efficiently, reducing the risk of occupational exposure.

[0028] It is understood that this utility model has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the protection scope of this utility model.
