Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to an ophthalmic forceps auxiliary cleaning device and a multi-layer cleaning rack having the same. Background Technology

[0002] Ophthalmic forceps are essential tools in ophthalmic and surgical procedures, primarily used to assist surgeons in grasping tissues, fixing their position, separating tissues, removing foreign objects, and assisting with suturing. As a type of medical forceps, they are characterized by their fine tips and precise manipulation. Their main function is to grasp, fix, and protect ocular tissues, ensuring the smooth progress of the surgical procedure. Based on their application and shape, ophthalmic forceps can be classified into various types, such as toothed forceps, toothless forceps, and microforceps.

[0003] Clinically, ophthalmic forceps are used in ophthalmic surgeries (such as cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, corneal transplantation, etc., or during and after oculoplastic surgery when removing sutures) to help doctors precisely manipulate eye tissues and ensure surgical success. Generally, these forceps require centralized cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization after surgery. A common method is to place the forceps in a perforated holder and then put them into a cleaning and sterilization machine. However, because the shape of commonly used holders is often incompatible with the forceps, they are mostly stored haphazardly. Storage space is limited, and the amount that can be stored at one time is restricted. Furthermore, haphazard stacking can lead to blind spots in cleaning and sterilization, resulting in incomplete cleaning and sterilization. In addition, when stored haphazardly, medical staff are prone to collisions, abrasions, or even injury during handling.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an ophthalmic forceps-assisted cleaning device and a multi-layer cleaning rack with the same device to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0026] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the ophthalmic forceps auxiliary cleaning device of this embodiment includes a hollow storage basket 1. The inner bottom wall of the storage basket 1 is provided with a plurality of seats 2 for inserting forceps. The seats 2 have insertion holes that pass through them from top to bottom. The upper end of the seats 2 is provided with a hollow limiting sleeve 211.

[0029] In this embodiment of the ophthalmic forceps auxiliary cleaning device, the storage basket 1 is an open, perforated basket with multiple seats 2 for vertically inserting forceps on its inner bottom wall. Multiple forceps are inserted one-to-one into the insertion holes on the seats 2, ensuring the tips of the forceps face upwards. A limiting sleeve 211 is provided at the upper end of the seats 2, so that the forceps are entirely contained within the limiting sleeve 211. During subsequent cleaning, the limiting sleeve 211 prevents the forceps from tilting under the jet rinsing action and from detaching from the seats 2. The overall structure is simple and reasonable, allowing for the cleaning of multiple forceps at once, and is convenient to use.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom wall of the storage basket 1 includes a plurality of crisscrossing support bars 11, and a plurality of seats 2 are detachably mounted on the support bars 11.

[0031] In the above implementation scheme, the base 2 is mounted on the support strip 11 on the bottom wall of the storage basket 1 in a detachable assembly manner, which facilitates disassembly and replacement.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the base 2 includes a fitting 21, a connecting strip 22, and two support parts 23. The fitting 21 is disposed at the lower middle part of the connecting strip 22, and the two support parts 23 are respectively fixed to both ends of the connecting strip 22. The support parts 23 are respectively provided with insertion holes that pass through them vertically. The fitting 21 is detachably mounted on the support strip 11.

[0033] In the above implementation scheme, the base 2 has a "T" shaped structure design, which can hold two tweezers. It can be easily mounted on the support bar 11 through the mounting accessory 21 at the bottom. The design is relatively simple and reasonable.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the aforementioned insertion hole is provided with an annular compression ring.

[0035] In the above implementation scheme, when one end of the tweezers is inserted into the socket, it will come into contact with the compression ring, making the two fit together tightly.

[0036] In this embodiment, the assembly 21 includes at least the following two structural forms:

[0037] 1) such as Figure 2 As shown, the above-mentioned assembly 21 is door-shaped and elastic, and the lower ends of both ends of the above-mentioned assembly 21 are provided with bolts that are threadedly connected to the two.

[0038] In scheme 1), when assembling the accessory 21 with the support bar 11, first remove the bolts, and the accessory 21 will be secured to the outside of the support bar 11. Then, install the bolts so that both ends of the accessory 21 clamp the support bar 11, thus achieving a stable assembly. With this structure, after loosening the bolts, the accessory 21 can be moved and adjusted along the support bar 11, allowing adjustment of the distance between two adjacent seats 2, which in turn allows adjustment of the distance between the two tweezers, making it more flexible to use.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the aforementioned assembly 21 is a columnar screw, the aforementioned support bar 11 has a through hole, the aforementioned screw passes through the aforementioned through hole, and a nut is installed at the lower end.

[0040] In scheme 2), multiple through holes are pre-drilled on the support bar 11 at intervals along its length. A fitting 21 (i.e., a screw) is inserted into each through hole and then locked by the nut at the lower end of the screw, so that the fitting 21 and the support bar 11 are firmly connected and the assembly and disassembly are relatively flexible.

[0041] In the above scheme 2), the support bar 11 is preferably a flat bar with a certain width.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment, the storage basket 1 is provided with handles on both sides of the upper part.

[0043] In the above implementation plan, the handle is designed to be easy for medical staff to hold and move, making the operation relatively convenient.

[0044] The handles mentioned above can be C-shaped components, welded and fixed to both sides of the storage basket 1. Generally, the storage basket 1 is made of stainless steel, which facilitates rinsing and disinfection.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting sleeve 211 includes multiple annular limiting rings 2111, and multiple vertically extending fixing strips 2112 are provided circumferentially between the multiple limiting rings 2111.

[0046] In the above implementation scheme, the structure of the limiting sleeve 211 is relatively simple. The hollow area between the limiting rings 2111 will not affect the jet rinsing. At the same time, the multi-layer limiting rings 2111 can limit the boundary of the tweezers' tilt, so that the tweezers will not tilt or even lie flat under the jet rinsing.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom edge of the storage basket 1 is provided with a plurality of anti-slip pads spaced around it.

[0048] In the above implementation scheme, the anti-slip mat design facilitates the stable placement of the storage basket 1 on surfaces such as desktops. A rubber mat is generally used.

[0049] Example 2

The frame 3 has rollers on both sides of its bottom, and the frame 3 has multiple hollowed-out support plates 31 inside. The ophthalmic forceps auxiliary cleaning devices are installed in the support plates 31.

[0051] In this embodiment, the multi-layer cleaning rack is used in conjunction with a conventional clinical transport cart. Multiple storage baskets 1 containing tweezers can be placed on the multi-layer support plate 31 to accommodate a large number of tweezers. The rack is then transferred to the transport cart, which pushes the entire multi-layer cleaning rack to the entrance of the cleaning equipment. The rack is then pushed into the cleaning equipment for jet rinsing.
