Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical sorting and transportation equipment, and more specifically, to a sorting cart for positioning items in the operating room. Background Technology
[0002] The surgical position (i.e., the patient's supine position during surgery) is closely related to the success of a surgery. A correct surgical position helps the surgeon obtain good exposure of the surgical field and prevents accidental injuries caused by compression of limbs, nerves, and joints. To ensure the adjustability and stability of the surgical position, current techniques typically use padding (usually available in two lengths), bandages, side armrests, bedside fixation devices, and lithotomy leg supports to immobilize the patient.
[0003] Existing surgical care carts can generally only hold small surgical instruments (such as straps, bedside fixation devices, etc.) during use, and it is difficult to hold longer surgical instruments such as side arm supports and lithotomy leg supports. Therefore, if longer surgical instruments such as side arm supports and lithotomy leg supports are needed during surgery, medical staff need to go back and forth to the positioning equipment storage room to retrieve them, which wastes a lot of time and is labor-intensive.
[0004] Meanwhile, existing nursing carts have the following problems: First, they usually use flat panels to place the aforementioned positioning items, which is not stable enough. During transportation, the positioning items are prone to falling and causing danger. Also, since adjacent positioning items are not fixed, they may collide and be damaged. Second, they usually use a single-sided opening door structure, which means that doctors can only take out the positioning items from one side, which is not convenient. In addition, because the door opens to one side, it is difficult to clean the inside of the storage compartment. After long-term use, the positioning items are prone to contamination, which affects the health of patients and medical staff. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an operating room positioning equipment organization cart. This cart is equipped with separate placement and fixing components for commonly used positioning equipment to ensure the stability of different positioning equipment during transportation. At the same time, it adopts a front and rear through structure, which facilitates cleaning of the storage compartment and allows doctors to retrieve different positioning equipment from different directions, thereby improving the efficiency of surgical preparation.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A cart for organizing patient positioning equipment in an operating room includes a frame with a U-shaped cross-section extending through the front and rear sides. An operating table is located on the top surface of the frame, and a dust cover is connected to one side of the operating table via a pivot. A mezzanine is provided between the operating table and the top surface of the frame, and a pull-out extension operating table is located within the mezzanine. Symmetrical storage slots are located on both sides of the frame, front and rear, with each slot including an upper perforated slot and a lower support slot. A lithotomy leg support is placed inside each storage slot, with the side of the lithotomy leg support with a pad resting on the outer edge of the upper perforated slot, and the support side of the lithotomy leg support inserted into the support slot. The frame has two internal partitions, upper and lower.
[0008] As a further optimization of this solution, the extended operating platform is provided with a pull handle on its outer side, and the four corners of the lower surface of the frame are provided with casters with brake buttons. The upper part of the non-rotating axis side of the frame is provided with a push handle.
[0009] As a further optimization of this solution, threaded holes are machined on both the front and rear ends of the upper and lower partitions, and countersunk grooves are machined on the side of the frame frame at the corresponding positions of the threaded holes. The upper and lower partitions are fixed by countersunk screws on the outside passing through the countersunk grooves and screwing into the threaded holes.
[0010] As a further optimization of this solution, the surface of the upper partition is divided into two areas by a middle baffle. The larger area has symmetrical buckles at both the front and rear ends, and elastic straps are installed between the buckles, with the inner sides of the elastic straps tightly binding the front and rear areas of the stacked soft pads. The smaller area also has symmetrical buckles at both the front and rear ends, and elastic straps are installed between the buckles, with the inner sides of the elastic straps tightly binding the front and rear areas of the stacked bandages.
[0011] As a further optimization of this solution, the surface of the lower partition of the two partitions is provided with a number of circular posts with circular cross-sections and a number of trapezoidal posts with trapezoidal cross-sections. Bedside fasteners with different socket shapes are embedded in the circular posts and trapezoidal posts respectively.
[0012] As a further optimization of this solution, the inner surface of the bottom of the frame is machined with several rectangular limiting plates. The rectangular limiting plates are arranged longitudinally, with only one rectangular limiting plate in the middle of one row and only two rectangular limiting plates in the other row, located on the sides respectively. Several side handrails are vertically clamped between the three rectangular limiting plates in the two adjacent rows.
[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This invention incorporates a storage cart structure that can hold multiple commonly used positioning items, forming a mobile storage room for positioning items. When a surgical room is finished using the items, they can be directly stored in the storage cart and then transported to another surgical room where they are needed. This saves medical staff time and effort spent traveling back and forth to the storage room, saving time and effort and improving the turnover and arrangement efficiency of surgical positioning items.
[0015] This utility model designs corresponding elastic straps, rectangular limiting plates, circular locking posts, trapezoidal locking posts, and storage slot structures for existing soft pads (usually available in two length specifications), bandages, side armrests, bedside fixation devices, and lithotomy leg supports, respectively, to achieve one-to-one stable fixation and ensure the stability of different positioning items during transportation.
[0016] The frame of this utility model adopts a front and rear through structure, and the partition can be flexibly disassembled by countersunk screws, which facilitates the individual cleaning of the inside of the frame, the gap of the rectangular limiting plate, and the fixing parts on the surface of each partition, ensuring the hygiene of the components. At the same time, doctors can access different positional items from different directions at the front and rear of the frame, improving the efficiency of surgical preparation.
[0017] In this utility model, an additional operating table and an extended operating table structure are provided above the frame, which can expand the doctor's working surface and facilitate the temporary placement of different positional items and equipment to assist in medical operations, making it highly practical.

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.
[0025] To address the problems of existing nursing carts typically featuring a single-sided door design, which allows doctors to retrieve positioning items only from one side (inconvenient) and makes cleaning the storage compartment difficult due to the single-sided door, leading to contamination of positioning items over time and potentially impacting the health of both patients and medical staff, the following solutions are proposed. Figure 1 As shown, this application includes a frame 1 with a U-shaped cross-section that runs through the front and rear sides. The top surface of the frame 1 is provided with an operating table 3, and one side of the operating table 2 is connected to a dust cover 4 via a pivot. There is also a mezzanine between the operating table 2 and the top surface of the frame 1, and a pull-out extended operating table 5 is provided inside the mezzanine. Symmetrical storage slots 7 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the frame 1, and each storage slot 7 includes an upper hollow slot and a lower support slot. A rock-cutting leg bracket 8 is placed inside the storage slot 7, and the side of the rock-cutting leg bracket 8 with a pad is mounted on the outer extension of the upper hollow slot, and the support side of the rock-cutting leg bracket 8 is inserted into the support slot. The frame 1 is provided with two partitions 9 inside, and a pull-out handle is provided on the outer side of the extended operating table 5. Universal wheels 2 with brake buttons are provided at the four corners of the lower surface of the frame 1. A push handle 6 is provided on the upper end of the side of the frame 1 on the non-pivot side.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, threaded holes 11 are machined on both the front and rear ends of the upper and lower partition plates 9, and countersunk grooves 19 are machined on the side of the frame frame 1 at the corresponding positions of the threaded holes 11. The upper and lower partition plates 9 are fixed by screwing the countersunk screws 10 on the outside through the countersunk grooves 19 into the threaded holes 11.
[0027] Specifically, the frame 1 adopts a front-to-rear through-type structure, and the partition 9 can be flexibly disassembled by countersunk screws 11, which facilitates the individual cleaning of the interior of the frame 1, the gap of the rectangular limiting plate 21, and the surface fixing parts of each partition 9, ensuring the hygiene of the components. At the same time, doctors can access different positioning items from different directions in the front and rear of the frame 1, improving the efficiency of surgical preparation. Secondly, an additional operating table 3 and an extended operating table 5 structure are set on the top of the frame 1. After rotating and opening the dust cover 4, the doctor's working surface can be expanded, which is convenient for temporarily placing different positioning items and equipment to assist in medical operations, making it highly practical.
[0028] To address the issues that existing nursing carts typically use flat panels to hold the aforementioned positioning items, which lack sufficient stability and are prone to falling during transport, and the lack of secure fastening between adjacent items, which can lead to collisions and damage, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the upper partition 9 of the two partitions 9 is divided into two areas by a middle baffle. The larger area has symmetrical buckles 12 at both the front and rear ends. Elastic straps 13 are installed between the buckles 12, and the inner sides of the elastic straps 13 are respectively tied to the front and rear areas of the stacked soft pads 15. The smaller area has symmetrical buckles 12 at both the front and rear ends. Elastic straps 13 are installed between the buckles 12, and the inner sides of the elastic straps 13 are respectively tied to the front and rear areas of the stacked bandages 14.
[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the lower partition 9 of the two partitions 9 has a number of circular locking posts 16 with circular cross-sections and a number of trapezoidal locking posts 17 with trapezoidal cross-sections arranged discretely and alternately on its surface. Bedside fasteners 18 with different socket shapes are embedded in the circular locking posts 16 and the trapezoidal locking posts 17 respectively.
[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, a number of rectangular limiting plates 21 are machined on the inner surface of the bottom of the frame 1. The rectangular limiting plates 21 are arranged longitudinally, and in one row of two adjacent rows there is only one rectangular limiting plate 21 located in the middle position, and in the other row there are only two rectangular limiting plates 21 located on the sides respectively. Several side armrests 20 are vertically clamped between the three rectangular limiting plates 21 in two adjacent rows.
[0031] Specifically, for existing pads 15 (usually available in two lengths), bandages 14, side armrests 20, bedside fixation devices 18, and lithotomy leg supports 8, corresponding elastic straps 13 were designed to fix the pads 15 and bandages 14, rectangular limiting plates 21 were used to fix several side armrests 20, circular locking posts 16 and trapezoidal locking posts 17 were used to fix the bedside fixation devices 18 with different plug shapes, and storage slots 7 were used to fix the lithotomy leg supports 8. This achieved a one-to-one stable fixation, ensuring the stability of the placement of different positioning items during transportation.
[0032] Meanwhile, the entire transport cart forms a mobile storage room for positioning equipment, which can be directly transferred from one operating room to another. This solves the problem that when longer surgical instruments such as lateral hand scaffolds and lithotomy leg supports are needed during surgery, medical staff have to travel back and forth to the positioning equipment storage room to retrieve them, which wastes a lot of time and is labor-intensive.

The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.
[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles and main features of this utility model, as well as its advantages. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
