Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biomedical supplies technology, and in particular to a specimen bottle for pathology departments that does not require tweezers to handle specimens. Background Technology

[0002] Pathological diagnosis is the gold standard in medical diagnosis, and high-quality specimen collection is the cornerstone of accurate pathological diagnosis. While pathological techniques have rapidly improved with advancements in science and technology, specimen collection remains in a very rudimentary stage. Pathology specimen collection is divided into large and small specimens. Large surgical specimens require up to two years of specialized training for pathologists to ensure proper specimen collection; however, small specimens, such as endoscopic biopsy tissue, puncture tissue, endometrial tissue, and cervical biopsy specimens, only require complete collection, but this process is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0003] Currently, the workload of pathology specimen collection in comprehensive tertiary hospitals is enormous, placing a heavy burden on pathologists. During specimen collection, small tissue samples are extremely difficult to handle, often floating and dispersing within the specimen bottle. Even when using forceps to pick up small tissue samples (such as endometrial tissue) in formalin solution, incomplete collection is possible, leading to specimen loss. Furthermore, fragmented tissues like endometrial tissue need to be poured onto a sampling tray, which easily causes contamination, and the poured formalin is highly irritating, causing significant discomfort to the collecting physician. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a pathology specimen bottle that is easy to operate, allows for complete specimen collection, avoids cross-contamination, and improves collection efficiency without the need for tweezers.

[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following solution: This utility model proposes a specimen bottle for pathology departments that does not require forceps to handle, including a specimen bottle body, a bottle cap, and a storage bag. The specimen bottle body includes a bottle body, and a retaining ring extends from the inner wall of the bottle body near the bottle mouth. The retaining ring extends radially inward from the inner wall of the bottle body and then extends axially toward the bottle mouth, thereby forming an annular groove between the retaining ring and the inner wall of the bottle body. The upper end of the storage bag is positioned and supported in the annular groove of the retaining ring.

[0006] In one embodiment, the upper port of the storage bag is provided with a film-coated metal ribbon as a support frame.

[0007] In one embodiment, when the upper port of the storage bag is positioned and supported within the annular groove of the retaining ring, the coated metal ribbon is positioned within the annular groove.

[0008] In one embodiment, the coated metal ribbon at the upper end of the storage bag is initially shaped into a circle with a diameter slightly smaller than the bottle opening and larger than the inner diameter of the retaining ring.

[0009] In one embodiment, the plasticity of the coated metal ribbon is used to seal the upper end of the storage bag.

[0010] In one embodiment, the coated metal ribbon is provided with an upwardly protruding handle for lifting the storage bag upwards.

[0011] In one embodiment, when the storage bag is placed inside the specimen bottle body, its top is flush with or slightly below the bottle opening.

[0012] In one embodiment, the retaining ring is integrally formed with the bottle body.

[0013] In one embodiment, the storage bag is conical or frustum-shaped and is made of non-woven fabric or dense mesh material.

[0014] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following technical effects: This invention provides a method for handling specimen bottles in pathology without the need for forceps. The method includes a specimen bottle body, a cap, and a storage bag. A retaining ring extends from the inner wall of the specimen bottle body near the bottle opening. This retaining ring extends radially inward from the inner wall of the bottle body and then axially towards the bottle opening, forming an annular groove between the retaining ring and the inner wall of the bottle body. The upper end of the storage bag is positioned and supported within the annular groove of the retaining ring. Because the storage bag and bottle body are easily detachable and the storage bag opening has good shaping properties, it can be used as a relay station for transferring tissue into the specimen bottle, depending on different clinical application scenarios, avoiding contact contamination between clinical instruments and formalin solution. The storage bag can be sealed using the good support and shaping properties of the film-coated metal ribbon, eliminating the need for forceps to handle small specimens floating in formalin solution. After sealing, the bag can be folded in half to complete the sample collection, saving significant manpower and time and improving sample collection efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0016] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention and are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments, and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these drawings, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and the advantages of the present invention. Components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0017] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a pathology specimen bottle that can be handled without forceps, including a specimen bottle body 1, a bottle cap 2, and a storage bag 3. The specimen bottle body 1 includes a bottle body 11. Based on a conventional pathology specimen bottle, a retaining ring 12 extends from the inner wall of the bottle body 11 near the bottle opening 16. The retaining ring 12 is integrally formed with the bottle body 11. After extending radially inward from the inner wall of the bottle body 11, the retaining ring 12 extends axially toward the bottle opening 16, thereby forming an annular groove 13 between the retaining ring 12 and the inner wall of the bottle body 11. The upper end of the storage bag 3 is positioned and supported in the annular groove 13 of the retaining ring 12.

[0019] The storage bag 3 is made of non-woven fabric or dense mesh material (e.g., approximately 150 mesh), providing good water permeability. The storage bag 3 can be conical, frustum-shaped, or other shapes adapted to the internal shape of the specimen bottle body 1. The upper end of the storage bag 3 is equipped with a coated metal ribbon 31 as a supporting frame. The coated metal ribbon 31 is a malleable material with good plasticity and support. When the upper end of the storage bag 3 is positioned and supported within the annular groove 13 of the retaining ring 12, the coated metal ribbon 31 is positioned within the annular groove 13. The coated metal ribbon 31 at the upper end of the storage bag 3 is initially shaped into a circle, with a diameter slightly smaller than the bottle mouth 16 but larger than the inner diameter of the retaining ring 12. When the storage bag 3 is placed inside the specimen bottle body 1, its top is flush with or slightly lower than the bottle mouth 16, facilitating assembly and disassembly. The coated metal ribbon 31 has an upwardly protruding handle 32 for lifting the storage bag 3 upwards.

[0020] The working process of this specimen bottle is as follows: After obtaining a small specimen, the clinician directly places it into the storage bag 3, which is already placed inside the specimen bottle body 1. After the specimen is sent to the pathology department, the specimen collector only needs to open the bottle cap 2 and pull upwards on the handle 32 to remove the entire storage bag 3. There is no need to use tweezers to pick up small specimen tissues floating or separated in formalin solution, nor is it necessary to pour the tissue onto the sampling table. Utilizing the malleable properties of the film-coated metal ribbon 31 at the upper end of the storage bag 3, the sealing operation can be performed directly. After sealing, the storage bag 3 can be simply folded in half and placed directly into the embedding cassette with the patient's pathology number printed on it for subsequent dehydration. After dehydration, the technician directly opens the seal and picks up the tissue from the storage bag 3 for embedding and slide preparation, without having to unwrap the paper and lay it flat to find the tissue as in the traditional paper-wrapping method.

[0021] This protocol allows pathology departments to handle specimen bottles without using forceps, offering the following advantages: 1. Non-woven fabric or fine mesh storage bags have good water permeability, and the size of the filter holes can be flexibly selected according to the size of the sampled tissue, without affecting the fixation of the tissue, and there is no need to worry about the tissue being lost through the filter holes.

[0022] 2. When in use, because the storage bag and bottle are easy to disassemble and the opening of the storage bag is well moldable, you can choose whether to use the storage bag as a relay station for transferring tissue into the sample bottle, depending on different clinical application scenarios, to avoid contact contamination between clinical instruments and formalin solution.

[0023] Third, the storage bag can be sealed using the good support and plasticity of the film-coated metal ribbon. There is no need to use tweezers to pick up small specimens floating in the formalin solution. After sealing, the bag can be folded in half to complete the material collection, saving a lot of manpower and time and improving material collection efficiency.

[0024] Fourth, the specimen does not need to be poured onto the sampling plate to prevent contamination.

[0025] 5. When technicians are embedding tissue, they can directly open the seal, pick up the tissue from the storage bag and embed it. Compared with the traditional method of unwrapping small specimens wrapped in paper and laying them flat to find the tissue, this storage bag significantly reduces the chance of embedding contamination.

[0026] VI. This specimen bottle set is simple in design, easy to use, economical and practical, and has a wide range of applications.

[0027] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims, and all such changes shall be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
