Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, and specifically relates to a multifunctional intraoperative specimen management box. Background Technology

[0002] During tumor surgery, hospitals need to retain specimens for frozen section biopsies or other tests. Currently, intraoperative specimen storage has the following drawbacks: 1. Reliance on manual memorization and verification of stored specimens, which can easily lead to confusion due to surgical stress and fatigue. 2. Delayed and error-prone labeling: Handwritten labels may be illegible, incomplete, or misplaced from the specimen. 3. Inability to track in real time: The surgeon cannot visually confirm whether the specimen has been correctly collected. 4. Complex process of matching pathology request forms with physical specimens: Postoperative manual verification is required, which is inefficient and carries the risk of errors.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN209258783U discloses a "Postoperative Specimen Storage Box for Oncology," comprising an outer box with several grooves on the bottom of the inner side and several square locking teeth connected to the top of the inner side. An inner box is located inside the outer box, and the bottom of the inner box is rotatably connected to pulleys of the same number as the grooves, with the pulleys slidably connected to the grooves. This utility model allows the specimen storage box to be raised to different heights for use, effectively preventing specimens from being damaged in humid environments. However, this specimen box has limited functionality; due to the lack of layering, the small number of inner boxes, and the lack of clear distinction between different types and quantities of specimens, the number of specimens that can be stored is limited. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing intraoperative specimen management systems by providing a three-layer stackable multifunctional intraoperative specimen management box that can accurately and error-free manage specimens, and can simultaneously store multiple specimens or be used separately in individual layers.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multifunctional intraoperative specimen management box, which is a three-layer stacked specimen box, including a support frame, a first support platform, a second support platform, and a third support platform. The first support platform, the second support platform, and the third support platform are connected as one unit by two side supports. The first support platform holds the first specimen box, and the specimen box contains a lymph node specimen. The second support platform holds the second specimen box, and the specimen box contains a resection margin tissue specimen. The third support platform holds the third specimen box, and the specimen box contains a tumor specimen. The first specimen box is provided with left and right storage compartments. The left storage compartment has six rectangular storage compartments. The right storage compartment has six rectangular storage compartments. A first partition is provided between the left and right storage compartments. The specimen box is marked with: L (left) on the left, "(a) lymph node" in the middle, and R (right) on the right. The second specimen box is configured with four fan-shaped compartments surrounding a center and one central circular compartment. Each fan-shaped compartment and the circular compartment is separated by a partition. The specimen box is marked with "(II) Cutting Edge" in a prominent position on its edge. The third specimen box is configured as a circular receiving slot to completely accommodate large tumors. The specimen box is marked with "(III) Tumor" in a prominent position on its edge. To prevent liquid splashing and odor escape, each specimen box is fitted with a transparent lid. For convenient specimen box sterilization, all components of this invention are made of 316 medical-grade stainless steel.

[0006] The positive effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0007] 1. This utility model product is a three-layer stackable stainless steel specimen box designed specifically for complex tumor resection surgery (such as thyroid cancer, laryngeal cancer, oral cancer, etc.). The core design concept is "clear zoning, clear labeling, and process fit". Through physical isolation and shape coding mechanism, it ensures that specimens of different natures are accurately and quickly stored during surgery, fundamentally avoiding confusion.

[0008] 2. Improve work efficiency: Zoned placement makes the process of passing and receiving specimens clear for surgeons, scrub nurses and circulating nurses, reducing the time spent on repeated confirmation.

[0009] 3. Facilitates verification and recording: Nurses and doctors can easily check the number of specimens by layer to ensure that all excised tissues are properly stored and not left in the surgical field or on the gauze.

[0010] 4. Ensure the accuracy of pathological examinations: Clear classification provides great convenience for pathologists, who can directly process different types of specimens in a targeted manner, avoiding the laborious sorting of messy specimens and reducing the risk of errors from the source.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the multifunctional intraoperative specimen management box is a three-layer stacked specimen box, including a support 10, a first support platform 11, a second support platform 12, and a third support platform 13. The first support platform, the second support platform, and the third support platform are connected as one unit by the two side supports 10. The first support platform 11 holds the first specimen box 21, which contains lymph node specimens. The second support platform 12 holds the second specimen box 22, which contains nodular tissue specimens. The third support platform 13 holds the third specimen box 23, which contains tumor specimens. The first specimen box 21 is provided with left and right storage compartments. The left storage compartment has six rectangular storage compartments. The right storage compartment has six rectangular storage compartments. A first partition is provided between the left and right storage compartments. The specimen box is marked with the following labels at the edge: left storage label 213-L (left), first specimen label 211-(a) lymph node, and right storage label 214-R (right). The second specimen box 22 is configured with four fan-shaped compartments surrounding the center and one central circular compartment. Each fan-shaped compartment and the circular compartment is separated by a partition 222. The edge of the specimen box prominently displays: Second Specimen Identifier 221 - (II) Cut Edge. The third specimen box 23 is configured as a circular receiving slot 232 to completely accommodate large tumors. The edge of the specimen box prominently displays: Third Specimen Identifier 231 - (III) Tumor. To prevent liquid splashing and odor escape, each layer of the specimen box is fitted with a lid.

[0020] The specimen management box is made of medical-grade 316L stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant and can withstand high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization. Sterilization method: The entire box is detachable and supports 135°C high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization. It consists of three independent layers, securely placed via precision slots or magnetic structures on the side wall supports, or used independently. Each layer is equipped with a completely sealed transparent acrylic lid (suitable for high-temperature sterilization) to prevent liquid splashing and odor escape.

[0021] Use of this utility model:

[0022] The first specimen box: The dissected lymph nodes are divided into left and right sides according to the surgical area, and placed sequentially into the corresponding small boxes marked with Roman numerals I, II, III, IV, V, and VI. This can represent either the six lymph node regions or the order in which the lymph nodes were dissected. Lymph nodes are small, independent nodules that are round or oval. They need to be counted and examined individually for cancer metastasis, which is crucial for tumor staging and the formulation of subsequent treatment plans.

[0023] The second specimen box is for storing surgical margin tissue, where the surgical margin refers to the edge of the tissue removed during surgery or dissection. It stores surgical margin tissue from five different locations obtained from the tumor bed. Four fan-shaped grooves surrounding the center and a central circular recess are placed inside; this shape visually represents the concepts of "surrounding" and "location." Surgical margin specimens are taken during tumor resection surgery to confirm whether the tumor has been completely removed. Tissue around the tumor or at its base is specifically taken for examination. Pathologists examine these margins for residual cancer cells. They are typically categorized as upper, lower, left, right margin tissue, and base tissue. Each section is placed in the corresponding compartment of the margin layer. The four fan-shaped grooves and the central circular recess are labeled with the initials U, D, L, R, and B for upper, lower, left, right, and base, respectively, making it easier to identify the placement of different margin tissues.

[0024] The third specimen box is rectangular with a circular groove in the middle, and is marked with the first letter of the English word for mass -T. The surgically removed lesion itself, i.e., the tumor or mass, is placed in the groove.

[0025] This specimen is usually the largest and most important one. The pathology department needs to provide a detailed description (size, shape, color, texture, etc.) and conduct a comprehensive examination of its nature, type, and degree of differentiation. Function: To store the main tumor body or core mass that was surgically removed.

[0026] To clearly reflect the information of patients who have their specimens collected, a card slot frame for placing patient information cards can be set on one side of the support plate connected to the support platform.

[0027] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only a part of this utility model, and not all of it. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the claims of this utility model without inventive effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model.
