[0002] Neurosurgery operates on the most delicate and complex part of the human nervous system. The brain and spinal cord are fragile and delicate, and the blood vessels, nerves, and other structures within the surgical field are small and densely packed. Bleeding is common during surgery, and blood can obstruct the surgical field. Furthermore, it is necessary to protect and isolate the brain tissue during the procedure. This necessitates a material that can effectively manage bleeding without damaging the nerve tissue, leading to the development of brain cotton pads.
[0003] Meanwhile, a block cotton pad counting device with application number CN202320314949.3 includes a stepped counting table. Each layer of the stepped counting table has a horizontally arranged water storage tank on its inner side, and each layer is inclined downwards towards the water storage tank. In the use of this block cotton pad counting device, the operating table and trolley have limited space, and the cotton pads deform during blood absorption. During surgery, a large number of cotton pads are used frequently. Typically, medical staff manually count the cotton pads to ensure the completeness of the quantity and prevent them from being left in the patient's body. However, due to the tense and busy surgical process, the medical staff's attention is distracted, and counting errors may occur, making it impossible to accurately verify whether all used cotton pads have been collected. This poses a risk of cotton pad residue remaining in the patient's body, potentially causing harm.
