Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a surgical suture storage box with magnetic attraction function. Background Technology
[0002] Surgical needles and sutures are indispensable tools in surgical procedures. Currently, there are many problems with the storage of surgical needles and sutures. Surgical sutures are usually wound onto a spool and then placed haphazardly in the surgical instrument tray. This method of storage makes the sutures prone to tangling and knotting during retrieval. Once tangled, medical staff need to spend extra time untangling the sutures, which not only wastes valuable surgical time but may also cause the sutures to break due to excessive pulling, affecting the continuity of the surgical procedure. Therefore, it is necessary to use a needle and suture storage box with a suture-retrieval function to store both needles and surgical sutures simultaneously.
[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN217696669U provides a suture needle storage box. A tray is movably arranged inside the cabinet. A storage frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the tray. A magnet is fixedly arranged inside the storage frame. Multiple sets of needle slots are fixedly arranged above the magnet inside the storage frame. A thread groove is fixedly arranged on one side of each set of needle slots. An outlet is provided between the needle slots and the thread grooves. Suture needles and surgical sutures can be placed into the needle slots and the thread grooves respectively to store the surgical sutures.
[0004] However, current suture storage boxes with suture bundle storage functions offer only basic suture storage. Even after storing the suture bundles, they are still prone to tangling and becoming disorganized, hindering the proper use of the sutures. Therefore, a surgical suture storage box with a magnetic closure is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes a surgical suture needle storage box with magnetic attraction function. This solves the technical problem mentioned in the background art that current suture needle storage boxes with wire harness storage function still easily cause the wire harnesses to become tangled after storage, thus affecting the normal use of suture needles.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a surgical suture storage box with magnetic attraction function, comprising:
[0007] The housing is provided in two sets, with one end of the two sets of housings hinged together and the other end connected by a snap fastener;
[0008] Upright plates are disposed within one set of the housings, with two sets arranged at intervals, and pin slots are provided on the upright plates;
[0009] A mounting slot is provided on one of the sets of housings. A mounting plate is provided within the mounting slot. Multiple sets of rotatable take-up reels are provided on the mounting plate. A flexible U-shaped clamp is provided at the end of each take-up reel, and the inner side of the U-shaped clamp is fitted against it.
[0010] A reset assembly is disposed on the mounting plate and connected to the take-up reel to drive it to reset after the take-up reel rotates.
[0011] Preferably, an indwelling pad is provided on the outside of the housing, and the indwelling pad is made of sponge or silicone.
[0012] Preferably, the U-shaped clip is made of silicone.
[0013] Preferably, the two ends of the take-up reel are enlarged, and the middle section of the take-up reel is provided with a spiral groove.
[0014] Preferably, the reset assembly includes a coil spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to the take-up reel, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the mounting plate.
[0015] Preferably, another set of the housings is provided with a magnetic suction plate, the magnetic suction plate has a needle placement groove, and the needle placement groove has a pick-up and put-out groove.
[0016] Preferably, the housing has multiple sets of observation slots, the observation slots are connected to the outside of the housing, an identification card is provided in the observation slot, and a shielding plate is hinged to the outside of the housing to shield the observation slots. The end of the shielding plate can be connected to the housing by a snap fastener.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] When in use, this storage box allows suture needles to be secured in the needle slots on the two upright plates. Before surgery, the needles can be threaded, and after securing them, the suture is wound onto the take-up reel. Finally, the end of the suture is secured inside a U-shaped clamp, which uses a flexible material to prevent the suture from unraveling. When the needle needs to be removed, it can be directly taken out of the needle slot. During the needle's movement, the suture pulls the take-up reel until the end of the suture disengages from the U-shaped clamp, allowing for quick and efficient simultaneous removal of both the needle and suture, effectively saving surgical time. Furthermore, a reset mechanism drives the take-up reel back to its initial state when no external force is applied, preventing the suture from tangling due to the reel's rotation and enhancing the storage box's practical value.

[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present invention based on the above application content.
[0026] Example:
[0027] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this utility model provides a surgical suture needle storage box with magnetic attraction function, including two sets of hinged shells 1. One end of the shell 1 can be connected by a buckle. Two sets of upright plates 2 are arranged at intervals in one set of shells 1. The upright plates 2 are provided with needle-holding grooves 3. The other set of shells 1 is provided with a magnetic suction plate 4. The magnetic suction plate 4 is provided with a needle-releasing groove 5. The needle-releasing groove 5 is provided with a take-out groove 6. An indwelling pad 10 is provided on the outside of the shell 1. The indwelling pad 10 is made of sponge material or silicone material.
[0028] The two sets of housings 1 can rotate and open along their hinge points to enclose the suture needles. The suture needles are supported and fixed by the needle-holding grooves 3. It can be understood that the needle-holding grooves 3 can deform slightly to elastically fix the suture needles. During surgery, the suture needles can be removed from the needle-holding grooves 3 and placed into the needle storage grooves 5 on the magnetic suction plate 4 inside the other housing 1 for temporary storage, so that the surgical staff can quickly retrieve the suture needles. In addition, during the suturing process, the suture needles can also be inserted into the indwelling pad 10 for temporary safety pinning.
[0029] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 1 has multiple observation slots 7, which communicate with the outside of the housing 1. An identification card 8 is placed inside each observation slot 7. A shielding plate 9 is hinged to the outside of the housing 1 to cover the observation slots 7, and the end of the shielding plate 9 can be connected to the housing 1 via a snap-fit. The type of suture can be written or stamped on the identification card 8 and placed inside the observation slot 7, allowing for easy identification of the suture type and size when taking out or placing the suture, thus avoiding incorrect suture selection and affecting the surgery. Furthermore, by covering the end of the observation slot 7 with the shielding plate 9, the shielding plate 9 can be opened to remove the identification card 8 for replacement, facilitating the placement of more types of sutures.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, one set of housing 1 is provided with a mounting groove 11, and a mounting plate 12 is provided in the mounting groove 11. Multiple sets of rotatable take-up reels 13 are provided on the mounting plate 12. A flexible U-shaped clamp 14 is provided at the end of each take-up reel 13, with the inner side of the U-shaped clamp 14 fitting against the reel. A reset assembly is provided on the mounting plate 12, which drives the take-up reel 13 to reset after rotation. The reset assembly includes a coil spring 16, one end of which is fixedly connected to the take-up reel 13, and the other end is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 12.
[0031] After securing the suture needle, the surgical suture connected to the needle can be wound onto the take-up reel 13, and the end of the suture can be secured into the U-shaped clip 14. It is understood that in some embodiments, the U-shaped clip 14 is made of silicone to facilitate a more secure fixation of the suture end. The two ends of the take-up reel 13 are enlarged to prevent the suture from detaching from the end of the reel 13 after being wound onto it. The middle section of the take-up reel 13 has a spiral groove 15, along which the suture is wound to prevent knotting. When the suture needle is needed, it can be directly removed from the needle holder 3 or needle release groove 5. During movement, the suture pulls the take-up reel 13 to rotate until the end of the suture detaches from the U-shaped clip 14. The take-up reel 13 then returns to its original position under the action of the coil spring 16, making the use of the suture needle and suture more convenient and preventing the take-up reel 13 from rotating and causing the suture to become tangled after being wound onto it.
[0032] The specific usage and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0033] When in use, the suture box allows the needle to be secured in the needle slots 3 on the two sets of upright plates 2. Before surgery, the needle can be threaded, and after securing the needle, the suture is wound onto the take-up reel 13. Finally, the end of the suture is secured to the inside of the U-shaped clip 14, which uses a flexible material to secure the end of the suture and prevent it from becoming loose. When it is necessary to remove or put away the needle, it can be directly removed from the needle slot 3. During the movement of the needle, the suture pulls the take-up reel 13 to rotate until the end of the suture is released from the U-shaped clip 14. This allows for quick and simultaneous removal of both the needle and the suture, effectively saving surgical time. At the same time, the reset component drives the take-up reel 13 to reset when there is no external force, maintaining its initial state and preventing the suture from tangling due to the rotation of the take-up reel 13. This enhances the practical value of the suture box.
[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above. Modifications or improvements can be made to this utility model, which is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of this utility model fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
