Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral medical device technology, and in particular to a periodontal surgery tool box with a sharp instrument storage compartment. Background Technology

[0002] Periodontal surgery, as an important component of periodontal system treatment, encompasses a variety of delicate and complex procedures, including flap surgery, bone grafting, guided tissue regeneration, gingival surgery, and implant surgery. All surgical procedures require strict aseptic conditions and the coordinated use of various specialized surgical instruments and auxiliary materials, including numerous sharp and precise instruments such as scalpel blades, suture needles, dental burs, and bone chisels. Currently, universal surgical trays are commonly used in clinical practice to hold and deliver these instruments and materials. However, this temporary and disorderly mixing of all items presents several scientific and safety deficiencies, severely hindering surgical efficiency and the improvement of medical treatment.

[0003] 1. Inefficient surgical workflow: With instruments scattered across a disorganized tray, surgeons and assistants spend extra time searching for and identifying them. This non-value-adding process disrupts the continuity of the surgery, unnecessarily prolonging the total surgical time and increasing the cognitive load on the surgeon during critical procedures.

[0004] 2. Occupational safety hazards and infection control risks: The messy stacking of instruments, especially sharp instruments, greatly increases the probability of sharp instrument injuries to medical staff during operation or transfer. This constitutes a serious occupational exposure risk and poses a severe challenge to the hospital's infection control management system.

[0005] 3. Lack of targeted functional design: Most surgical instrument boxes or trays on the market are general-purpose designs, lacking specific optimization for the unique procedures of periodontal surgery. Existing designs cannot effectively classify, zone, fix, and manage key instruments such as high-speed turbine handpieces, blades, and fine sutures in an orderly manner.

[0006] 4. Impact on Surgical Standardization and Postoperative Safety Verification: The layout of traditional trays cannot intuitively map and guide standardized surgical procedures (SOPs). The placement of instruments lacks a logical connection with their usage order, hindering the standardized execution of surgical procedures and creating obstacles for clinical teaching and new physician training. Furthermore, after surgery, the disordered state of instruments significantly increases the difficulty and time cost of counting and verifying them, easily leading to the omission of sharp instruments. This not only delays the instrument retrieval and reprocessing process but, more seriously, poses a potential medical risk of leaving surgical foreign bodies (such as needles and sutures) in the patient's mouth.

[0007] In summary, existing periodontal surgical instrument management methods have significant shortcomings in terms of efficiency, safety, and infection control. There is an urgent need for new instrument management solutions that integrate different types of instruments, are modular, and streamlined to meet the growing demands of modern periodontal surgery for precision, efficiency, and safety. Utility Model Content

[0008] This utility model designs a periodontal surgery tool box with sharps storage. Its core lies in the fact that through ingenious structural design, it integrates the orderly management of instruments, counting during use, and safe retrieval of sharps after surgery, so as to solve the problems of instrument disorder, low operation efficiency and high occupational safety risks in the existing technology. The specific technical solution is as follows: A periodontal surgical tool box with sharp instrument storage, characterized in that it includes a shell, a layered partition, and a lower compartment wall. The layered partition divides the cavity inside the shell into upper and lower layers. The lower compartment wall divides the lower cavity into a sharp instrument storage compartment located in the left half and a sharp instrument head storage compartment located in the right half. The inner circumferential shoulder of the shell and the lower compartment wall support the layered partition. The right side of the sharp instrument head storage compartment is provided with a hollow placement hole. The left end of the layered partition has a sharp instrument storage opening. The upper right part of the layered partition is provided with a saline soaking tray for intraoperative retrieval of drill bits, the lower right part is provided with a surgical needle and suture resting area, the middle part is provided with an upward lifting auxiliary rod, and the left part is provided with a drill bit placement area. The surgical needle and suture resting area is provided with an array of sponge blocks for needle tip insertion. The drill bit placement area is provided with a dial-type counter array. Each dial-type counter has a rubber clamp embedded in its center, and the center of the rubber clamp has a drill bit insertion hole.

[0009] The dial counter includes a counting rotating ring and a counting dial nested within the ring. The upper surface of the counting rotating ring is provided with a counting indicator arrow, and the inner ring surface of the counting rotating ring is provided with a positioning protrusion. The upper surface edge of the counting dial is distributed with a sequence of natural numbers, and the outer ring surface of the counting dial is evenly distributed with a plurality of positioning recesses. The structural dimensions of the positioning recesses are adapted to the structural dimensions of the positioning protrusions.

[0010] The rubber chuck is embedded in the center of the counting dial, the edge of the drill bit insertion hole is a serrated edge, and the number of periodontal surgeries performed on the drill bit in the drill bit insertion hole is consistent with the number on the counting dial corresponding to the counting indicator arrow when the counting ring is rotated.

[0011] The saline soaking tray for intraoperative drill bit recovery is used for temporary placement when drill bit replacement is needed during the operation, to pre-treat the drill bit, and to promptly remove bloodstains and bone fragments from the drill bit tip.

[0012] The sponge block array includes blue, yellow, and red sponge blocks in the first row and blue, yellow, and red sponge blocks in the second row. The first row is used for absorbable sutures, the second row is used for non-absorbable sutures, the red sponge blocks are used for 4 / 0 sutures, the yellow sponge blocks are used for 5 / 0 sutures, and the blue sponge blocks are used for 6 / 0 sutures.

[0013] The dial counter array includes a column of ball drill bits, a column of diamond bur bits, and a column of other drill bits or redundant drill bits, with 6 dial counters in each column.

[0014] The six dial-type counters in the ball drill insertion column are sequentially inserted with ball drills of sizes 1 / 2, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 respectively.

[0015] The diamond bur insertion array has six dial-type counters that are sequentially inserted with diamond burs of specifications of blue tip, blue mallet, red tip, red mallet, yellow tip, and yellow mallet.

[0016] The sharps storage compartment is used to store used blades and / or used needles and threads that are placed in the sharps storage opening. The hollow placement hole of the sharps head compartment is used to place sharps with the head hidden inside the box and the handheld tail exposed outside the box. The sharps include dental drill handpieces, needle holders with needles and threads, dura mater syringes and / or blades.

[0017] Includes a box lid, which is a transparent plastic product, and the counting rotating ring of the dial counter is a plastic product.

[0018] The technical effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a periodontal surgical tool box with a sharps storage compartment. Through its upper and lower layers, left and right compartments, dial counter, drill bit insertion hole, and sponge block combination, it effectively solves the current problem of a lack of professional periodontal surgical tool boxes in clinical practice, thereby improving the safety, efficiency, and quality of oral periodontal surgery. For example, the saline-soaked tray for intraoperative drill bit retrieval can be used for temporary placement when changing drill bits during surgery, helping to prevent drill bit loss and facilitating counting. The sharps storage compartment can recycle discarded blades, needles, and other sharps, ensuring surgical safety. The sharps head compartment and its perforated placement hole facilitate the placement of sharps, helping medical staff avoid the risk of needle pricks, thus eliminating potential infection control risks in hospitals. The transparent and visible design allows medical staff to quickly view the placement of internal instruments. The sponge block facilitates the insertion of surgical needles and sutures, making them easy to use and retrieve. The drill bit insertion hole with a rubber clamp helps to hold the drill bit firmly, preventing it from easily falling out. A dial counter can indicate the number of times a drill bit has been used, which helps prevent the improper use of drill bits that are excessively degraded or missing during periodontal surgery or avoids exceeding the recommended number of uses.

(Reference) Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a periodontal surgical tool box with sharps storage includes a shell 13, a layered partition 12, and a lower compartment wall 22. The layered partition 12 divides the cavity inside the shell 13 into upper and lower layers. The lower compartment wall 22 divides the lower cavity into a sharps storage compartment 21 located in the left half and a sharps head compartment 23 located in the right half. The inner circumferential surface shoulder 11 of the shell 13 (which can be continuous or discontinuous, and can be set on the upper and lower sides, or on the upper, left, and lower sides respectively) and the lower compartment wall 22 The storage wall 22 supports the layered partition 12. The right side of the sharp instrument storage compartment 23 is provided with a hollow placement hole 6. The left end of the layered partition 12 has a sharp instrument storage opening 10. The upper right part of the layered partition 12 is provided with a saline soaking tray 1 for intraoperative retrieval of drill bits, the lower right part is provided with a surgical needle and suture resting area 3, the middle part is provided with an upward lifting auxiliary rod 7 (used to remove the layered partition from the box or install it into the box), and the left part is provided with a drill bit resting area 8.

[0032] The core objective of this invention is to provide a multifunctional toolbox specifically designed for oral and periodontal surgery. Through innovative structural design and scientific material selection, this toolbox effectively addresses the current lack of specialized periodontal surgery toolboxes in clinical practice, thereby improving the safety, efficiency, and quality of oral and periodontal surgery.

[0033] This invention is also a multifunctional surgical toolbox for oral and periodontal surgery that facilitates the handling of blades, needles, and sutures during surgery.

[0034] The product structure design and material specifications involved in this invention are as follows:

[0035] 1. Toolbox Structure

[0036] (1) The main body of the toolbox is designed as an ergonomic cuboid, measuring 15cm in length, 12cm in width, and 4cm in height. The edges are rounded and smooth for easy gripping and operation by medical personnel. Its internal structure consists of three layers: upper, middle, and lower, as detailed below:

[0037] Upper cover: Adopts a transparent and visible design, making it easy for medical staff to quickly view the placement of internal instruments.

[0038] Middle layer: The internal space is divided into zones according to different periodontal surgery needs. The specific zoning design is as follows:

[0039] Drill bit placement area: Drill bits of different specifications, models, and uses are distinguished by visual color coding. In addition, an innovative mechanical trial counting method is employed.

[0040] Mechanical counting: The digital wheel displays the count, with a cycle of 1-12, and is replaced periodically.

[0041] The magnetic counting plate method (anti-loss auxiliary technology) uses a special counting plate embedded with a strong magnet. Each slot corresponds to a drill bit, and the drill bit is surrounded by metal for adsorption and fixation. A magnetically triggered counting device is used.

[0042] Electronic counting system: A miniature mechanical counter or mechanical counting device is embedded in the placement of each drill bit, which automatically increments by 1 (triggered by rotating a gear via a threaded mechanism); the number of uses is displayed transparently next to it (e.g., "5 / 50"), and changes color to warn when the limit is exceeded.

[0043] Auxiliary Instrument Area: Constructed with special sponge that is corrosion-resistant, resistant to 134℃ high-pressure steam, and chemically resistant. This area is primarily used for the temporary storage of surgical needles and sutures. Different colors such as red, purple, and blue are used to distinguish between different 0 / 4, 0 / 5, and 0 / 6 suture sizes, significantly improving work efficiency.

[0044] A saline solution tray for retrieval of drill bits: Considering the possibility of changing drill bits during surgery, a special drill bit retrieval area has been set up to effectively prevent drill bits from being lost and to facilitate counting.

[0045] (2) The bottom structure of the toolbox is divided into two parts:

[0046] Left side: Designed as a sharps recycling area, used to collect discarded blades, needles, and other sharp instruments to ensure surgical safety.

[0047] Right side: This area is for storing sharp instruments that will be reused during surgery, such as anesthetic needles or needle holders with needles and sutures. This effectively solves the problem of safe placement of needles and caps during surgery. In addition, the bottom is equipped with anti-slip material to ensure that the instruments can be placed stably and to prevent shaking or collisions during movement or use.

[0048] 2. Material

[0049] (1) In the selection of materials for oral and periodontal treatment trays, priority is given to engineering plastics (PPSU polyphenylsulfone) or 304 stainless steel that are resistant to high temperature (134℃) and easy to sterilize. These materials can ensure that they will not be deformed or damaged during repeated high temperature and high pressure sterilization, thereby extending their service life and effectively protecting the internal instruments from damage during transportation and operation.

[0050] (2) The inside of the fixing groove is specially designed with an anti-slip lining. This anti-slip material is a special silicone rubber material, which has the following advantages:

[0051] Extremely high coefficient of friction: It can significantly enhance the friction between the instrument and the placement slot, effectively preventing the instrument from sliding, shifting or even falling during the movement of the treatment tray or the operation of medical staff, and ensuring the stability of the instrument during the treatment process.

[0052] Good elasticity: It provides a certain buffer when instruments are placed, reducing collisions and wear between instruments and extending the service life of instruments.

[0053] Non-toxic and odorless: It will not have any adverse effects on the oral environment or human health.

[0054] High temperature and corrosion resistant: It can maintain stable performance during routine sterilization processes without affecting the single-use effectiveness and safety of the treatment tray.

[0055] Furthermore, the medical-grade silicone sponge used has antibacterial and anti-contamination properties, is resistant to high-pressure steam and chemical corrosion, and is solvent-resistant with no fiber shedding. This sponge can not only serve as a temporary placement device for needles and sutures but is also reusable, providing strong support for efficient management of the operating room.

[0056] 3. Product Introduction

[0057] The external dimensions are 15cm in length, 12cm in width, and 4cm in height.

[0058] The internal dimensions are as follows: the left surgical instrument box is 6cm long and 12cm wide, and the right surgical site for placing anesthetic is 8cm long and 12cm wide.

[0059] Contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art. It is hereby indicated that the above description is intended to help those skilled in the art understand the present invention, but does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent substitutions, modifications, improvements, and / or simplifications of the above descriptions that do not depart from the essence of the present invention fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
