Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a container for storing surgical pads having withdrawal strings used in surgical procedures, and a surgical pad container having a surgical pad and a container. [Background technology]

[0002] During surgery, it is common to use a surgical pad having a base material such as a nonwoven fabric for the purposes of stopping bleeding, absorbing fluids, preventing damage to body tissue, etc. After use, the surgical pad must be removed from the patient's body, and some surgical pads are known to have a pull-out thread attached to make them easier to remove.

[0003] A surgical pad is usually packaged with a plurality of substrate bodies placed on a mount, and the mount and the pull-out thread are wound around the mount to prevent the pull-out thread from being damaged or tangled during storage or transportation of the surgical pad.

[0004] Patent Document 1 discloses a surgical pad assembly in which a mount has one or more loose insertion portions and a pull-out string is loosely inserted into the loose insertion portions a total of two or more times, thereby holding the pad on the mount. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2015-77201 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Before use, the base material body of the surgical pad needs to be soaked in physiological saline. Before the operation, all the surgical pads are removed from the mount and placed in a tray or the like, and physiological saline is poured into the tray or the like to soak the base material body in the physiological saline. In order to make preparation for the operation simple and quickly, there is room for improvement in the surgical pad assembly as described in Patent Document 1.

[0007] In addition, in conventional surgical pad assemblies such as the surgical pad assembly described in Patent Document 1, the pull-out thread is wound around the mount in order to prevent the pull-out thread from being damaged or tangled during storage or transportation of the surgical pad, and therefore the pull-out thread is prone to becoming bent. If the pull-out thread becomes bent, it may become bulky during surgery and hinder the procedure. Therefore, there is a demand for a surgical pad assembly in which the pull-out thread is less likely to become bent.

[0008] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its object is to provide a container for storing surgical pads and a container containing surgical pads, which allows the base body of the surgical pad to be immersed in physiological saline without removing the surgical pad from the mount or the like on which it is attached, and which is less likely to cause creases in the pull-out thread. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The first container that can solve the above problem is a container for storing a surgical pad having a base body and a pull-out thread fixed at one side to the base body, and is characterized in that it has a first container in which the base body is stored and a second container equipped with a pull-out thread fixing part to which the pull-out thread is fixed, and the first container and the second container are fixed so as to be openable and closable.

[0010] The second container that can solve the above problem is a container for storing a surgical pad having a base body and a pull-out thread fixed at one side to the base body, and includes a first container in which the base body is stored and a second container having a pull-out thread fixing part to which the pull-out thread is fixed, the first container and the second container being connected to each other by a connecting part, and the connecting part having a perforation.

[0011] The container of the present invention has a plurality of pull-out thread fixing parts arranged between the substrate body and the tip of the pull-out thread, the pull-out thread fixing parts being arranged in both the first container and the second container, and it is preferable that the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part arranged in the first container and the connection part is greater than the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part arranged in the second container and the connection part.

[0012] In the container of the present invention, when the first container and the second container are closed, the position of the pull-out thread fixing part arranged in the second container is preferably different from the position of the pull-out thread fixing part arranged in the first container when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the bottom of the second container.

[0013] In the container of the present invention, when the first container and the second container are in a closed state, the pull-out thread fixing part of the second container preferably faces the substrate main body.

[0014] In the container of the present invention, the first container has a bottom and an edge, the pull-out thread fixing part is a porous foam, and it is preferable that the edge of the first container and the pull-out thread fixing part are arranged around the substrate body.

[0015] In the container of the present invention, it is preferable that the surgical pad is visible when the inside is viewed from the outside with the first container and the second container closed.

[0016] In the container of the present invention, the first container and the second container each have a bottom and an edge, and it is preferable that at least one of the bottom of the first container and the bottom of the second container has a number written on it.

[0017] The surgical pad container that can solve the above problem comprises a surgical pad having a base body and a pull-out thread fixed at one side to the base body, and a container for storing the surgical pad, wherein the container has a pull-out thread fixing part to which the pull-out thread is fixed, the pull-out thread fixing part being an elastic body, the pull-out thread fixing part having a first wall surface and a second wall surface, and having a slit through which the pull-out thread is inserted, and the distance between the first wall surface and the second wall surface at the entrance side of the slit is smaller than the diameter of the pull-out thread.

[0018] The surgical pad container of the present invention has a first container in which the base body is stored, and a second container equipped with a pull-out thread fixing portion and having a bottom and an edge, and it is preferable that the deepest part of the cut is closer to the bottom than to the edge. Effect of the Invention

[0019] According to the first container of the present invention, by having a first container in which the base body is stored and a second container having a pull-out thread fixing part, physiological saline can be poured into the container with the surgical pad stored therein, and the base body can be easily and quickly immersed in physiological saline. In addition, by fixing the first container and the second container so as to be openable and closable, the pull-out thread is less likely to develop a crease when the surgical pad is stored in the container.

[0020] According to the second container of the present invention, as with the first container of the present invention, the first container in which the base body is stored and the second container having the pull-out thread fixing part are provided, so that the base body can be easily and quickly immersed in the physiological saline by pouring physiological saline into the container with the surgical pad stored therein. Also, since the first container and the second container are connected to each other by a connecting part, and the connecting part has a perforation, the connecting part can be folded along the perforation, so that the folding position of the container can be controlled, and the pull-out thread can be prevented from forming a crease.

[0021] According to the surgical pad container of the present invention, by pouring physiological saline into the container containing the surgical pad with the surgical pad stored therein, the base material can be easily and quickly soaked in physiological saline. Also, the surgical pad container is an elastic body having a first wall surface and a second wall surface, has a slit for inserting the pull-out thread, and has a pull-out thread fixing part in which the distance between the first wall surface and the second wall surface at the entrance side of the slit is smaller than the diameter of the pull-out thread, so that the pull-out thread is less likely to fall off. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 2] 2 shows a schematic diagram of the container shown in FIG. 1 in a closed state. [Diagram 3] 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the container shown in FIG. 2 along line III-III. [Figure 4] 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the container shown in FIG. 1 along line IV-IV. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0023] The container and the container containing surgical pads according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples, and it is possible to carry out the present invention by making appropriate modifications within the scope of the above and below described purpose, and all of these modifications are included in the technical scope of the present invention.

[0024] First, the first container of the present invention will be described.

[0025] Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a container 1 according to the present invention in an open state, Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the container 1 in a closed state, and Fig. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the container 1 shown in Fig. 2 taken along line III-III. As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, the container 1 is a container 1 for storing a surgical pad 100 having a base body 110 and a pull-out thread 120 fixed at one side to the base body 110, and includes a first container 11 for storing the base body 110 and a second container 12 having a pull-out thread fixing part 20 to which the pull-out thread 120 is fixed, and the first container 11 and the second container 12 are fixed so as to be openable and closable.

[0026] Since the base body 110 is stored in the first container 11, by pouring physiological saline into the first container 11, the base body 110 can be immersed in physiological saline while the surgical pad 100 is stored in the container 1. Therefore, in preparation for using the surgical pad 100 in surgery, it is not necessary to separately prepare a bat or the like for immersing the surgical pad 100 in physiological saline, and to remove the surgical pad 100 from the container 1 and move it to the bat or the like. Therefore, it is possible to easily and quickly prepare the surgical pad 100 before surgery.

[0027] The surgical pad 100 is a protective sheet that is soaked in saline during surgical procedures such as neurosurgery, and is used to prevent damage to body tissues. The substrate body 110 of the surgical pad 100 is made of, for example, medical gauze made of multiple laminated layers of fabric such as nonwoven fabric. The surgical pad 100 can be used for stopping bleeding, wiping off body fluids such as blood, and compressing organs.

[0028] The base material body 110 can be not only medical gauze, but also any material that is unlikely to damage body tissue. It is desirable that the base material body 110 has a certain degree of flexibility. Examples of materials constituting the base material body 110 include natural fibers such as cotton, regenerated fibers such as rayon, chemical fibers such as polyester, and sponges made of synthetic resins such as polyurethane. The shape of the base material body 110 can be, for example, a rectangle with a width of 5 mm to 30 mm and a length of 5 mm to 60 mm.

[0029] Although not shown, the substrate body 110 may include a sensory object that can be remotely sensed by an external sensor such as an X-ray opaque thread or an IC tag. The X-ray opaque thread is a chemical fiber containing barium sulfate or the like that is difficult for X-rays to penetrate, and the IC tag is a very small electronic device that works by receiving radio waves and can be read by an IC tag reader. By including a sensory object in the substrate body 110, it becomes possible to sense the substrate body 110 from outside the body even after surgery is completed, and it is possible to check whether the surgical pad 100 remains in the body.

[0030] The object to be sensed that the base body 110 has is preferably an X-ray opaque thread. One method for incorporating an X-ray opaque thread in the base body 110 is, for example, to use an X-ray opaque thread for at least one of the upper and lower sewing threads when sewing and fixing the pull-out thread 120 to the base body 110 with a sewing machine. By using an X-ray opaque thread for at least one of the upper and lower sewing threads, there is no need to perform a dedicated operation for attaching the X-ray opaque thread, and manufacturing costs can be reduced.

[0031] The pull-out thread 120 is a thread attached to the base material body 110 in order to safely and reliably remove the base material body 110 from the patient's body. The pull-out thread 120 is preferably a fiber that is strong and has excellent flexibility. Examples of fibers that constitute the pull-out thread 120 include natural fibers such as cotton, regenerated fibers such as rayon, and chemical fibers such as polyester and polypropylene. The pull-out thread 120 can have a diameter of 0.2 mm to 2 mm and a length of 5 cm to 20 cm, for example.

[0032] The pull-out thread 120 preferably contains an X-ray opaque thread. By containing an X-ray opaque thread in the pull-out thread 120, the pull-out thread 120 can be confirmed under X-ray fluoroscopy. As a result, it becomes possible to confirm under X-ray fluoroscopy after the end of surgery whether the surgical pad 100 is left behind in the body.

[0033] The container 1 is for storing the surgical pad 100, and can be filled with liquid such as physiological saline while storing the surgical pad 100. Examples of materials constituting the container 1 include synthetic resins such as polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene, polyimide, acrylic, nylon, and polystyrene. Among these, the material constituting the container 1 is preferably polypropylene. By using polypropylene as the material constituting the container 1, the strength of the container 1 can be increased.

[0034] The average thickness of the container 1 is preferably 0.1 mm or more, more preferably 0.15 mm or more, and even more preferably 0.2 mm or more. By setting the lower limit of the average thickness of the container 1 within the above range, the strength of the container 1 can be increased, and when a liquid such as physiological saline is placed inside, the liquid is less likely to leak out. Furthermore, the average thickness of the container 1 is preferably 1 mm or less, more preferably 0.8 mm or less, and even more preferably 0.6 mm or less. By setting the upper limit of the average thickness of the container 1 within the above range, the container 1 becomes lightweight.

[0035] The container 1 has a first container 11 in which the base material body 110 is stored, and a second container 12 equipped with a pull-out thread fixing part 20 to which the pull-out thread 120 is fixed. To fix the pull-out thread 120 to the pull-out thread fixing part 20, for example, the pull-out thread fixing part 20 has a notch, and the pull-out thread 120 is hooked on this notch. Since the base material body 110 is stored in the first container 11 and the pull-out thread 120 is fixed to the second container 12 by the pull-out thread fixing part 20, the pull-out thread 120 can be fixed to the container 1 in a state where it is unlikely to be damaged or tangled, without having to wind the pull-out thread around a mount to prevent the pull-out thread from being damaged or tangled, as in the conventional surgical pad assembly.

[0036] The material constituting the first container 11 is preferably the same as the material constituting the second container 12. By using the same material for the first container 11 and the second container 12, it is possible to prevent either the first container 11 or the second container 12 from being scratched or broken when the first container 11 and the second container 12 are closed, and it is possible to increase the durability of the container 1.

[0037] The material constituting the pull-out thread fixing portion 20 is preferably an elastic body having elasticity, for example, synthetic resins such as polyurethane and polyethylene, natural rubber, and the like.

[0038] The first container 11 and the second container 12 are fixed so as to be openable and closable. Specifically, the first container 11 and the second container 12 are configured so that the second container 12 can be closed as a lid for the first container 11, and the second container 12 can be moved so that the first container 11 opens so that the surgical pad 100 and the like can be stored in and removed from the first container 11. Since the first container 11 and the second container 12 are fixed so as to be openable and closable, as shown in FIG. 2, the container 1 can be folded so that the first container 11 and the second container 12 overlap each other, and the container 1 can be made compact. As a result, space is saved when storing and transporting the surgical pad 100 stored in the container 1.

[0039] To fix the first container 11 and the second container 12 so that they can be opened and closed, for example, a hinge structure is used at the connection between the first container 11 and the second container 12, the first container 11 and the second container 12 are connected with a separate member having high flexibility, the first container 11 and the second container 12 are stacked and fixed with a clip-shaped member, etc. Among these, it is preferable that the connection between the first container 11 and the second container 12 is a hinge structure. By fixing the first container 11 and the second container 12 so that they can be opened and closed with a hinge structure, the durability of the connection between the first container 11 and the second container 12 is increased, and the first container 11 and the second container 12 can be opened and closed repeatedly.

[0040] At least one of the first container 11 and the second container 12 preferably has a closed state maintaining mechanism so that the first container 11 and the second container 12 can be maintained in a closed state. Examples of the closed state maintaining mechanism include a configuration in which the first container 11 and the second container 12 each have a recess and a protrusion, and the recess and the protrusion are fitted together, a configuration in which one of the first container 11 and the second container 12 has a cut and the other of the first container 11 and the second container 12 is hooked onto it, and a configuration in which the first container 11 and the second container 12 each have a cut or notch and the cut or notch of the first container 11 and the second container 12 is hooked onto it. Among these, it is preferable that the first container 11 and the second container 12 each have a recess and a protrusion. Since the first container 11 and the second container 12 each have a concave portion and a convex portion, it is possible to easily maintain the first container 11 and the second container 12 in a closed state by engaging the concave portion and the convex portion, and it is also easy to release the closed state and open the first container 11 and the second container 12.

[0041] When the first container 11 and the second container 12 each have a recess and a protrusion, the first container 11 and the second container 12 may each have both a recess and a protrusion, or the first container 11 may have a recess and the second container 12 may have a protrusion, but as shown in Figures 1 to 3, it is preferable that the first container 11 has a protrusion 41 and the second container 12 has a recess . By having the first container 11 have the protrusion 41 and the second container 12 have the recess , when the second container 12 is moved to cover the first container 11, the operation of closing the first container 11 and the second container 12 to fit the protrusion 41 and the recess 42 can be easily performed.

[0042] It is preferable that the cross-sectional shape of the convex portion 41 is circular and the cross-sectional shape of the concave portion 42 is polygonal in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the container 1. Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the cross-sectional shape of the convex portion 41 is round and the cross-sectional shape of the concave portion 42 is square. By making the cross-sectional shape of the convex portion 41 circular and the cross-sectional shape of the concave portion 42 polygonal, it is possible to facilitate fitting of the convex portion 41 and the concave portion 42 together.

[0043] Next, the second container of the present invention will be described. In the following description, the parts that overlap with the above description will be omitted.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 1, the container 1 is a container for storing a surgical pad 100 having a base body 110 and a pull-out thread 120 fixed at one side to the base body 110, and includes a first container 11 in which the base body 110 is stored and a second container 12 having a pull-out thread fixing portion 20 to which the pull-out thread 120 is fixed, the first container 11 and the second container 12 being connected to each other by a connection portion 30, and the connection portion 30 has a perforation.

[0045] The first container 11 and the second container 12 are connected to each other by the connection part 30, and the connection part 30 has a perforation, so that the connection part 30 can be folded along the perforation. In other words, since the container 1 is folded along the perforation of the connection part 30, it is possible to control the folding position of the container 1. Therefore, since the container 1 can be made compact while the folding position of the container 1 is clear, it is possible to prevent the pull-out thread 120 from getting a crease when the container 1 is folded. In addition, since the connection part 30 has a perforation, the first container 11 and the second container 12 can be easily separated along the perforation. Therefore, the container 1 can be made smaller when disposing of the container 1 after use, and the volume of the waste can be reduced.

[0046] Examples of the configuration of the connection part 30 include a hinge-like structure and a flat plate-like structure. Among them, it is preferable that the connection part 30 has a hinge-like structure. When the connection part 30 has a hinge-like structure, the first container 11 and the second container 12 can be easily opened and closed, and the first container 11 and the second container 12 can be easily maintained in an open state and in a closed state.

[0047] As shown in Fig. 1, a plurality of pull-out thread fixing parts 20 are arranged between the substrate body 110 and the tip of the pull-out thread 120, and the pull-out thread fixing parts 20 are arranged in both the first container 11 and the second container 12, respectively. It is preferable that the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 21 arranged in the first container 11 and the connecting part 30 is greater than the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 22 arranged in the second container 12 and the connecting part 30. Since the pull-out thread fixing parts 20 are arranged in the first container 11 and the second container 12, respectively, and there are a plurality of pull-out thread fixing parts 20, the pull-out thread 120 can be sufficiently fixed to the container 1, and the effect of preventing the pull-out thread 120 from being damaged or entangled can be enhanced. In addition, since the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 21 and the connection part 30 arranged in the first container 11 is greater than the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 22 and the connection part 30 arranged in the second container 12, the pull-out thread 120 can be fixed to the first container 11 at a position close to the base body 110 in the first container 11. Therefore, when the container 1 is transported with the surgical pad 100 stored in it, the surgical pad 100 is prevented from moving significantly within the container 1, and the pull-out thread 120 is less likely to become tangled or damaged.

[0048] The distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 21 and the connection part 30 arranged in the first container 11 is preferably 1.3 times or more, more preferably 1.5 times or more, and even more preferably 1.7 times or more, of the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 22 and the connection part 30 arranged in the second container 12. By setting the lower limit of the ratio of the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 21 and the connection part 30 of the first container 11 and the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 22 and the connection part 30 of the second container 12 to the above range, the substrate body 110 of the surgical pad 100 is prevented from moving significantly in the first container 11, and the pull-out thread 120 is less likely to be entangled and damaged. In addition, the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 21 and the connection part 30 arranged in the first container 11 is preferably 3 times or less, more preferably 2.5 times or less, and even more preferably 2 times or less, of the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 22 and the connection part 30 arranged in the second container 12. By setting the upper limit value of the ratio between the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 21 and the connection part 30 of the first container 11 and the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 22 and the connection part 30 of the second container 12 within the above range, the pull-out thread 120 is less likely to bend within the first container 11 when the surgical pad 100 is stored in the container 1, and it is possible to prevent the pull-out thread 120 from becoming tangled or damaged.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 1, the number of the pull-out thread fixing parts 22 arranged in the second container 12 is preferably greater than the number of the pull-out thread fixing parts 21 arranged in the first container 11. The base material body 110 is stored in the first container 11, and the pull-out thread 120 is stored longer in the second container 12 than in the first container 11. Therefore, since the number of the pull-out thread fixing parts 22 arranged in the second container 12 is greater than the number of the pull-out thread fixing parts 21 arranged in the first container 11, the pull-out thread 120 of the surgical pad 100 stored in the container 1 can be sufficiently fixed to the second container 12. Therefore, the pull-out thread 120 is less likely to bend in the container 1, and the effect of preventing the pull-out thread 120 from being entangled or damaged can be enhanced.

[0050] 2 and 3, when the first container 11 and the second container 12 are closed, the position of the pull-out thread fixing part 22 arranged in the second container 12 is preferably different from the position of the pull-out thread fixing part 21 arranged in the first container 11, as viewed from a direction perpendicular to the bottom 12a of the second container 12. By making the position of the pull-out thread fixing part 22 arranged in the second container 12 different from the position of the pull-out thread fixing part 21 arranged in the first container 11, the position of the pull-out thread fixing part 20 differs when the first container 11 and the second container 12 are closed, and it becomes possible to prevent the pull-out thread 120 from bending, becoming tangled, or being damaged when the surgical pad 100 is stored in the container 1.

[0051] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in a state in which the first container 11 and the second container 12 are closed, it is preferable that the pull-out thread fixing part 22 of the second container 12 faces the substrate body 110. By the pull-out thread fixing part 22 of the second container 12 facing the substrate body 110, the pull-out thread fixing part 22 can prevent the substrate body 110 from moving in the thickness direction of the container 1. In other words, even if the container 1 shakes in the thickness direction of the container 1 during transportation of the container 1, the pull-out thread fixing part 22 comes into contact with the substrate body 110, preventing the substrate body 110 from moving significantly. As a result, the pull-out thread 120 fixed to the substrate body 110 is also prevented from moving, and the pull-out thread 120 can be prevented from becoming tangled or damaged.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the first container 11 has a bottom 11a and an edge 11b, the pull-out thread fixing part 21 is a porous foam, and it is preferable that the edge 11b of the first container 11 and the pull-out thread fixing part 21 are arranged around the substrate body 110. By arranging the edge 11b of the first container 11 and the pull-out thread fixing part 21 around the substrate body 110, a space for placing the substrate body 110 can be secured in the first container 11. By putting a liquid such as physiological saline into the space for placing the substrate body 110, it becomes possible to sufficiently soak the substrate body 110 in physiological saline in the container 1. Therefore, there is no need to prepare a bat or the like for soaking the substrate body 110 in physiological saline or to transfer the surgical pad 100 to the bat or the like, and the surgical pad 100 can be easily and quickly prepared before use.

[0053] In addition, since the pull-out thread fixing part 21 is a porous foam, the pull-out thread fixing part 21 is flexible. Therefore, even if the base material body 110 comes into contact with the pull-out thread fixing part 21 when the container 1 is shaken, the base material body 110 can be prevented from bending or wrinkling.

[0054] It is preferable that not only the pull-out thread fixing part 21 arranged in the first container 11, but also the pull-out thread fixing part 22 arranged in the second container 12 are made of a porous foam. By making the pull-out thread fixing part 20 (21, 22) a porous foam, the flexibility of the pull-out thread fixing part 20 is increased, making it easier to hook the pull-out thread 120 on the pull-out thread fixing part 20 and easier to remove the pull-out thread 120 from the pull-out thread fixing part 20.

[0055] Examples of the porous foam include foamed polyethylene, foamed polyurethane, and foamed polystyrene. Among them, the porous foam is preferably foamed polyethylene. That is, the drawing thread fixing part 20 is preferably foamed polyethylene. By making the drawing thread fixing part 20 of foamed polyethylene, it is possible to achieve both strength and flexibility of the drawing thread fixing part 20, and it is possible to repeatedly attach and detach the drawing thread 120 to the drawing thread fixing part 20.

[0056] It is preferable that the surgical pads 100 are visible when the inside of the first container 11 and the second container 12 are viewed from the outside with the first container 11 and the second container 12 closed. By being able to see the surgical pads 100 from the outside with the first container 11 and the second container 12 closed, the internal condition of the container 1, such as the number of surgical pads 100 stored in the container 1, can be confirmed from the outside.

[0057] In order to make the surgical pad 100 visible from the outside when the first container 11 and the second container 12 are closed, for example, at least a part of the container 1 may be made transparent, or a hole may be made in a part of the second container 12. Among these, it is preferable to make the first container 11 and the second container 12 transparent. By making the first container 11 and the second container 12 transparent, it becomes easier to check the internal state of the container 1 from the outside, and the convenience of the container 1 can be improved.

[0058] 3, the first container 11 and the second container 12 have bottoms 11a, 12a and edges 11b, 12b, respectively, and although not shown, it is preferable that at least one of the bottom 11a of the first container 11 and the bottom 12a of the second container 12 has a number written thereon. By writing a number on at least one of the bottom 11a of the first container 11 and the bottom 12a of the second container 12, this number can be used to count the number of surgical pads 100, and the number of surgical pads 100 stored in the container 1 can be easily confirmed.

[0059] At least one of the bottom 11a of the first container 11 and the bottom 12a of the second container 12 may have a dot-like or linear mark 60 in addition to numbers, as shown in Fig. 1. The mark 60 such as a number inscribed on the bottom 11a of the first container 11 or the bottom 12a of the second container 12 may be printed or may be represented by projections and recesses.

[0060] 1 and 2, it is preferable that at least one of the edge 11b of the first container 11 and the edge 12b of the second container 12 has a notch 11c, 12c. By having at least one of the edge 11b of the first container 11 and the edge 12b of the second container 12 have the notch 11c, 12c, it is easy to apply force to the first container 11 and the second container 12 when opening them from a closed state, and they can be opened easily.

[0061] The surgical pad container of the present invention will be described below. In the following description, the description overlapping with the above description will be omitted.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 1, the surgical pad container includes a surgical pad 100 having a base body 110 and a pull-out thread 120 fixed at one side to the base body 110, and a container 1 for storing the surgical pad 100. The container 1 has a pull-out thread fixing part 20 to which the pull-out thread 120 is fixed, and the pull-out thread fixing part 20 is an elastic body. As shown in FIG. 4, the pull-out thread fixing part 20 has a first wall surface 51 and a second wall surface 52, and has a slit 50 through which the pull-out thread 120 is inserted. The distance D1 between the first wall surface 51 and the second wall surface 52 at the entrance side of the slit 50 is smaller than the diameter D2 of the pull-out thread 120.

[0063] 4, the first wall surface 51 and the second wall surface 52 respectively refer to two wall surfaces constituting the notch 50 of the pull-out thread fixing part 20. Since the pull-out thread fixing part 20 has the notch 50, the pull-out thread 120 can be fixed to the pull-out thread fixing part 20 by inserting the pull-out thread 120 into the notch 50.

[0064] Since the distance D1 between the first wall surface 51 and the second wall surface 52 at the entrance side of the slit 50 is smaller than the diameter D2 of the pull-out thread 120, the first wall surface 51 and the second wall surface 52 come into contact with the outer surface of the pull-out thread 120, making it difficult for the pull-out thread 120 to fall off from the pull-out thread fixing part 20. On the other hand, since the pull-out thread fixing part 20 is an elastic body, when a force is applied by pulling the pull-out thread 120, the slit 50 of the pull-out thread fixing part 20 is deformed, and the pull-out thread 120 can be easily removed from the pull-out thread fixing part 20.

[0065] The distance D1 between the first wall surface 51 and the second wall surface 52 at the entrance side of the slit 50 is preferably 70% or less of the diameter D2 of the pull-out thread 120, more preferably 50% or less, and even more preferably 30% or less. By setting the upper limit of the ratio of the distance D1 to the diameter D2 within the above range, the pull-out thread 120 can be sufficiently in contact with the first wall surface 51 and the second wall surface 52 when the pull-out thread 120 is inserted into the slit 50, and the pull-out thread 120 is less likely to come off the pull-out thread fixing part 20. The lower limit of the ratio of the distance D1 to the diameter D2 is not particularly limited, but can be, for example, 0.1% or more, 0.5% or more, or 1% or more.

[0066] As shown in Fig. 1, the device has a first container 11 in which the base body 110 is stored, and a second container 12 equipped with a pull-out thread fixing part 22 and having a bottom 12a and an edge part 12b, and as shown in Fig. 4, it is preferable that the deepest part 53 of the cut 50 is closer to the bottom 12a than the edge part 12b. By having the deepest part 53 of the cut 50 closer to the bottom 12a than the edge part 12b, when the pull-out thread 120 is inserted through the pull-out thread fixing part 20, the distance between the entrance of the cut 50 and the pull-out thread 120 can be increased, and the pull-out thread 120 is less likely to fall off from the pull-out thread fixing part 20.

[0067] As described above, the first container of the present invention is a container for storing a surgical pad having a base body and a pull-out thread fixed at one side to the base body, and includes a first container for storing the base body and a second container having a pull-out thread fixing part to which the pull-out thread is fixed, and the first container and the second container are fixed so as to be openable and closable. By having a first container for storing the base body and a second container having a pull-out thread fixing part, it is possible to put physiological saline into the container in a state in which the surgical pad is stored, and it is possible to easily and quickly immerse the base body in physiological saline. In addition, by fixing the first container and the second container so as to be openable and closable, it is possible to prevent the pull-out thread from becoming bent when the surgical pad is stored in the container.

[0068] The second container of the present invention is a container for storing a surgical pad having a base body and a pull-out thread fixed at one side to the base body, and includes a first container in which the base body is stored and a second container having a pull-out thread fixing part to which the pull-out thread is fixed, and the first container and the second container are connected to each other by a connecting part, and the connecting part has a perforation. By having the first container in which the base body is stored and the second container having the pull-out thread fixing part, the base body can be easily and quickly immersed in the saline by putting saline into the container with the surgical pad stored therein. In addition, since the first container and the second container are connected to each other by a connecting part and the connecting part has a perforation, the connecting part can be folded along the perforation, and it is possible to control the folding position of the container, and it is possible to make it difficult for the pull-out thread to have a crease.

[0069] The surgical pad container of the present invention is a surgical pad container having a base body and a pull-out thread fixed at one side to the base body, and a container for storing the surgical pad, the container having a pull-out thread fixing part to which the pull-out thread is fixed, the pull-out thread fixing part being an elastic body, the pull-out thread fixing part having a first wall surface and a second wall surface, and having a cut through which the pull-out thread is inserted, and the distance between the first wall surface and the second wall surface at the entrance side of the cut is smaller than the diameter of the pull-out thread. By putting physiological saline into the container for storing the surgical pad with the surgical pad stored therein, it becomes possible to easily and quickly soak the base body in physiological saline. In addition, the surgical pad container has a pull-out thread fixing part that is an elastic body, has a first wall surface and a second wall surface, has a cut through which the pull-out thread is inserted, and has a pull-out thread fixing part with the distance between the first wall surface and the second wall surface at the entrance side of the cut being smaller than the diameter of the pull-out thread, so that the pull-out thread is less likely to fall off.
