Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a packaging box for medical devices, and more specifically, to a packaging box for medical sutures. Background Technology

[0002] Medical sutures are common biological products used in surgical suturing to close wounds, connect tissues, and ligate blood vessels. They typically consist of two parts: a needle and a thread. Previously, medical sutures were usually packaged in simple cardboard boxes, such as the "Intermediate Dispensing Suture Box" disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN1134270A (publication date: October 30, 1996). This type of cardboard packaging, due to its soft material and susceptibility to damage, failed to provide adequate fixation and protection for the sutures and needles.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN101711698A discloses a "suture pouch" (publication date: May 26, 2010), which includes a suture storage component. The suture storage component includes an outer wall and an inner wall, the inner wall being radially spaced from the outer wall and defining a suture storage area between them. The inner wall defines a needle storage area and includes at least one opening to allow reception of at least one suture through the at least one opening. The outer wall includes a plurality of inwardly extending protrusions configured to engage with a cap. The suture pouch further includes a cap configured to be received within the outer wall of the suture storage component and selectively engage with the inwardly extending protrusions formed on the outer wall. The suture storage component is typically made of plastic, while the cap is made of paper and has a circular structure with a protrusion on one side. The suture storage component has correspondingly several snap-fit ​​structures and notches; the snaps are used to fasten the cap around its perimeter, and the protrusions of the cap are located in the notches to prevent rotation. This suture pouch provides good protection for the sutures, but in actual use, the following problems have been found:

[0004] 1. Although the lid can be separated by its protrusion when opening it, the actual protrusion size of the protrusion is limited, and because the paper lid itself is relatively thin, the actual operation of opening the lid is still quite inconvenient.

[0005] 2. Its ventilation holes are mainly distributed in the winding area. Although air can enter the needle storage area in the middle through the openings on the inner wall during EO sterilization, the overall air flow is not smooth, resulting in insufficient direct and effective sterilization of the needle.

[0042] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0043] [Example]

[0044] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a medical suture packaging box of this embodiment includes a box body 1 and a cover body 2. Several baffles 1-1 are distributed circumferentially along the inner side of the box body 1. The baffles 1-1 and the outer wall 1-2 of the box body 1 form a suture storage area 1-3. A suture needle mounting part 1-5 is provided on the bottom wall 1-4 of the box body 1, located inside the baffles 1-1. The interval between adjacent baffles 1-1 forms a suture passage 1-6 that allows the suture in the suture storage area 1-3 to pass through. The outer wall 1-2 also has several slots 1-7 around its perimeter for engaging with the outer edge of the cover body 2. A protruding tongue 2-1 extends outward from one side of the cover body 2. The protruding tongue 2-1 is folded outward on the outer surface of the cover body 2 to form an easy-open handle 2-2. Figure 6 The structure shown is the unfolded tongue 2-1, which is an integral part of the cover 2. It can be formed by folding outwards along the "dashed line" at the base of the tongue 2-1. Figure 7The easy-open handle 2-2 is shown. Medical sutures mainly consist of the suture body and the needle. When packaging the medical sutures in the aforementioned box, the box body 1 can be placed on a platform first. The needle can be secured and protected by inserting it into the needle mounting part 1-5. Then, the suture body is introduced through the suture channel 1-6 into the suture storage area 1-3 and wound and secured. Finally, the cover 2 is inserted into the box body 1 along the slot 1-7. When using the medical suture, pull down on the easy-open handle 2-2 on the cover 2 to remove the cover 2 from the box body 1, and then remove the corresponding needle and suture body from the needle mounting part 1-5. Compared with existing suture packaging boxes, the easy-open handle 2-2 provides a reliable opening gripping point. When using, simply pull down on the easy-open handle 2-2 to remove the cover 2. The opening operation is quick and convenient, improving the ease of use of the suture. Furthermore, the cover 2 has a simple structural design, is easy to manufacture, and is safe and reliable to operate.

[0045] In this embodiment, the box body 1 is preferably circular, and the suture storage area 1-3 on it is an annular winding groove. The baffles 1-1 are arc-shaped, and all baffles 1-1 are located on the same circumference. The annular winding groove reduces and evenly distributes the bending stress on the suture, minimizing bending deformation and ensuring the suture's performance stability. To prevent excessive bending of the suture, in this embodiment, at least one baffle 1-1 has an inwardly curved suture guide 1-8 on one side of the corresponding suture channel 1-6. After the needle is inserted into the needle mounting part 1-5 for fixation, the suture portion is introduced into the suture storage area 1-3 through the suture guide 1-8, preventing excessive bending of the suture and avoiding irreversible plastic deformation within the suture channel 1-6, thus reducing damage to the suture.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper edge of the slot 1-7 has a claw 1-9 extending inward toward the suture storage area 1-3. The cover 2 is located inside the outer wall 1-2, and the outer edge of the cover 2 is held in place by the claw 1-9 and engaged with the box body 1. The inwardly extending claw 1-9 not only acts as a latch for the cover 2, making the connection between the cover 2 and the box body 1 more stable and reliable, but also facilitates the fixation of the suture. When winding the suture and opening the cover 2, it can prevent the suture from coming out of the suture storage area 1-3, reducing the occurrence of suture tangling and knotting. Further reference Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the outer edge of the cover 2 is also provided with an external lug 2-3 that can be engaged in the corresponding slot 1-7. The external lug 2-3 can be used to conveniently fix and limit the cover 2, preventing the cover 2 from rotating on the box 1. Preferably, the external lug 2-3 is located on the side of the cover 2 away from the tongue 2-1, so that the cover 2 can be opened more smoothly by the easy-open handle 2-2, reducing the resistance to opening the cover 2. In this embodiment, the box 1 is preferably made of plastic material, and the cover 2 is preferably made of paper material.

[0047] The medical suture packaging box of this embodiment can package multiple sutures. Combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the needle mounting part 1-5 has two or more needle-holding grooves 1-5a, which can fix the arc-shaped needle, providing stable fixation and orderly arrangement of the needle. Preferably, the height of the needle mounting part 1-5 is the same as or close to the height of the baffle 1-1, which can avoid significant deformation of the packaging box under pressure due to height differences. Preferably, the top of the needle mounting part 1-5 is flush with the upper surface of the baffle 1-1, so that the needle mounting part 1-5 can provide some support for the middle of the cover 2, preventing the cover 2 from deforming inward under pressure. Unlike existing designs, the bottom of the needle mounting part 1-5 in this embodiment has a hollow groove 1-5b connecting the inner and outer sides of the box body 1. This hollow groove 1-5b not only facilitates the forming of the needle mounting part 1-5, making the wall thickness of the needle mounting part 1-5 uniform and reducing injection molding defects, but also allows for direct and effective sterilization of the needle during EO sterilization, ensuring the safety of the medical sutures. In addition, for convenient needle retrieval, a pin plate 1-13 is provided on one side of the needle mounting part 1-5, mounted on the bottom wall 1-4. The free end of the pin plate 1-13 is located near the needle mounting part 1-5, and the upward tilt of the free end of the pin plate 1-13 can lift the needle for quick needle retrieval during use. Specifically, the ejector plate 1-13 is formed by a U-shaped cutout groove 1-13a on the bottom wall 1-4, so that the ejector plate 1-13 is connected to the bottom wall 1-4 on only one side. The ejector plate 1-13 has a thin-walled structure, which is convenient for upward deformation. The free end of the ejector plate 1-13 can be lifted up by pressing it from the back, thereby lifting and pushing out the needle. The preferred position for pushing out is the connection position between the needle and the thread, which is convenient for needle removal from the root of the needle.

[0048] Furthermore, to facilitate EO sterilization, the box body 1 has several first vent holes 1-10 located at the bottom of the liner storage area 1-3 and several second vent holes 1-11 located inside the baffle 1-1; the cover body 2 has several third vent holes 2-4 opposite to the liner storage area 1-3 around its perimeter. This design of vent holes allows the EO sterilizing gas to circulate fully within the packaging box, resulting in more thorough sterilization. Figure 1 As shown, the inner side of the bottom wall 1-4 of the box body 1 is also provided with a label affixing part 1-12, and the cover body 2 is provided with an observation window 2-5 opposite to the label affixing part 1-12. Product identification information can be affixed to the label affixing part 1-12, and the product specifications and other information can be observed intuitively through the observation window 2-5.

[0049] This utility model provides a medical suture packaging box, which, compared with existing suture packaging boxes, has at least the following advantages:

[0050] 1. One side of the cover has a protruding tongue that folds outward and forms an easy-open handle on the outer surface of the cover. When in use, simply pull down the easy-open handle to remove the cover. The operation is quick and convenient, improving the ease of access to the suture thread. Furthermore, the cover has a simple structure design, is easy to manufacture, and is safe and reliable to operate.

[0051] 2. The outer edge of the lid is also provided with an external lug that can be inserted into the corresponding slot. The external lug can be used to fix and limit the lid, preventing the lid from rotating on the box. In addition, the external lug is located on the side of the lid away from the tongue, making the lid easier to open with the easy-open handle and reducing the resistance to opening the lid.

[0052] 3. The bottom of the needle mounting section has a hollowed-out groove connecting the inside and outside of the box. This hollowed-out groove not only facilitates the forming of the needle mounting section, making the wall thickness of the needle mounting section uniform and reducing injection molding defects, but also allows for thorough and effective sterilization of the needle during EO sterilization, ensuring the safety of medical sutures. At the same time, the box has several first vent holes located at the bottom of the suture storage area and several second vent holes located inside the baffle. The cover has several third vent holes around its perimeter, opposite to the suture storage area. Through the design of the above vent holes, the EO sterilization gas can flow fully inside the packaging box, making sterilization more thorough.

[0053] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above illustratively. This description is not restrictive, and the figures shown are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
