Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and intended to be illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention, and all other embodiments that can be obtained by one skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The present invention has been completed based on the following studies and findings of the inventors:

gauze or non-woven fabric sheets with X-ray tracing lines are composed of a sheet of cloth and rubber threads which are usually attached to the surface of the dressing by hot pressing on the cloth with a heated roller. Generally, sterile dressings with X-ray tracing are packed with 5 or 10 pieces of gauze. Conventional sizes range (10cm x10cm) to (70cm x70 cm).

Before the surgical dressing is used for surgery, it must be packaged in a sealed package or rigid box and sterilized by common sterilization methods, such as ethylene oxide (ETO), gamma irradiation, electron beam, or steam sterilization. A surgical sterile dressing contains multiple pieces of dressing, and from 2 to 10 pieces per package depending on the application. When used as a dressing with X-ray tracing, there are typically 5 or 10 dressings in a sterile dressing pack, and depending on the complexity of the procedure and the site of the procedure, one or more sterile X-ray tracing packs may be required.

Since the introduction of X-ray tracing line dressings in the united states 50 years ago, the use of X-ray tracing line dressings has been spread around the world. It is estimated that annual X-ray traced sterile dressing packets are used in amounts exceeding 1000 billion packets. Although it is used in very high quantities around the world and has been used for many years, there has not been any significant improvement in the safety of X-ray tracked dressings. Although many of the following identified disadvantages and undesirable problems have been reported, most of the X-ray tracing dressings in use today are roughly the same design and function as the original version of the utility model 50 years ago.

One of the major safety issues with surgical dressings is that the dressing may be left behind in the patient after surgery. During the procedure, for example, a sterile dressing pack of 5X-ray traced dressings per pack is used as an illustration of the dressing counting protocol:

step 1, operating room staff calculate the number of dressings in each sterile dressing bag to ensure that there are indeed 5 dressings in the bag.

Step 2, if a plurality of sterile dressing packets are required for the operation, all the sterile dressing packets are opened and counted to ensure that each packet has five dressings.

Step 3, adding the total number of the surgical dressings to be equal to (using the number x 5).

Step 4, if there is a difference in the number of any packages, the defective packages cannot be used and will be submitted to the supplier as a complaint.

And 5, collecting and calculating all used dressings with the X-ray tracing line after the operation to ensure that the number of the dressings calculated before and after the operation is the same.

Step 6, if the numbers are different, the patient will undergo X-ray examination to find the dressing left in the body.

Although the standard counting scheme described above has been widely used in hospitals around the world, there are many reports that the dressing remains in the patient after surgery. In the U.S. hospital, there are several types of safety improvement systems used for X-ray tracking dressings, however, all of these safety improvement systems result in a significant increase in the cost of the X-ray tracking dressing.

Based on the extensive studies described above, the inventors found that in order to make the use of a dressing with X-ray tracing safer, the following major improvements are needed: a more systematic approach to ensure accurate counting of surgical dressings: it is believed that when multiple packs of absorbent dressings are used, counting of a large number of dressings with the same physical appearance is prone to mental fatigue and point errors. In addition, the dressing counting procedure is also different before and after the operation. For example: for a procedure requiring 10 packs of X-ray traced sterile dressing packs (5 sheets/pack) prior to surgery, the count of dressings was repeated 10 times in 5 packs (or groups). In contrast, the count of dressings is not calculated in groups of five pieces (or one by one) but from 1 to 50 after surgery. Comparing the two methods, it can be easily understood that the counting method of the five-piece group is more accurate and reliable. In the united states, there are companies selling gauze pieces with X-ray tracing lines, each piece of gauze being attached with a two-dimensional bar code that can be scanned and recorded by a computer before and after an operation. Another safety improvement system is to sew a radio frequency chip on each surgical dressing sheet. A hand-held scanning instrument is used to determine after surgery that there are no patches in the patient's body. However, these two special X-ray traced line gauze pieces cost about 3 times more than the ordinary gauze pieces. Computers and other electronic instruments are required for use. The operator needs to be specially trained. The success rate cannot be guaranteed to be one hundred percent. Therefore, their use is limited to only a few hospitals in the united states.

In light of the above problems, the inventors conducted extensive studies on various materials, and invented a sterile dressing pack with X-ray tracing lines, which can avoid the dressing remaining in the patient after the operation, and can reduce the cost greatly, and ensure easier and more accurate counting after the operation.

The sterile surgical dressing pack with X-ray tracing according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, a sterile surgical dressing package with X-ray tracing according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a casing 10 and at least two dressings 20.

In particular, the outer envelope 10 is a sterile sealed package. At least two pieces of the dressing 20 are sealed in the outer package 10, each piece of the dressing 20 is folded into a multi-layer structure with a predetermined size, wherein each piece of the dressing 20 is provided with at least one X-ray tracing line 201, the color of each X-ray tracing line 201 on each piece of the dressing 20 is one color, namely pure color, and the colors of the X-ray tracing lines 201 on the pieces of the dressing 20 are different.

The X-ray tracing 201 is fixed on the surface of the dressing 20 by heat pressing, ultrasonic welding, weaving or sewing. That is, the X-ray tracing line 201 may be fixed to the surface of the dressing 20 by thermocompression by a thermocompression roller, the X-ray tracing line 201 may be welded to the surface of the dressing 20 by an ultrasonic welding machine, may be directly woven on the surface of the dressing 20 by a weaving manner, or may be sewn on the surface of the dressing 20 by a sewing device.

According to the sterile surgical dressing pack with the X-ray tracing lines 201, a predetermined number of dressings 20 are packaged through a package 10, through more systematic and accurate counting, the dressings 20 are not easy to leave in a patient, the counting is easier and more accurate after surgery is ensured, the X-ray tracing lines 201 with higher visibility are fixed on the dressings 20, and the X-ray tracing lines 201 with different colors are used as visual aids and are more accurate as counting standards of the dressings 20.

It should be noted that, by using the X-ray tracing line 201, the line structure is easily fixed on the surface of the dressing 20, as described above, the X-ray tracing line 201 is fixed on the surface of the dressing 20 by hot pressing, ultrasonic welding, weaving or sewing, so that the counting effect is ensured, and at the same time, the effects of facilitating the production and processing and reducing the cost can be achieved.

In addition, in the present application, the number of the dressings 20 in the sterile surgical dressing pack may be configured as required, and the specific number is not particularly limited. For example, the following steps are carried out: when the number of dressings 20 packaged in each sterile surgical dressing pack is small, for example, 2 to 5 dressings 20, each dressing 20 has at least one X-ray tracing 201 of the same color, and the X-ray tracing 201 on each dressing 20 is different in color. When the number of dressings 20 packaged in each sterile surgical dressing pack is large, for example, 10 dressings 20, every 5 dressings 20 may be divided into two groups, 10 dressings 20 in each group have at least one X-ray tracing line 201 with the same color on each dressing 20, and the colors of the X-ray tracing lines 201 on different dressings 20 in each group are different.

In addition, for procedures requiring multiple sterile packs of dressings 20, it is generally necessary to collect and count 50 dressings 20, but counting many items with the same appearance can cause mental fatigue to medical personnel and can easily lead to erroneous counting, while counting can be assisted with a 5-piece set of different colors, and by tracking lines 201 with multiple sets of different colors of X-rays on dressings 20 in the same sterile pack, the counting is more systematically accurate.

Alternatively, a procedure requiring the use of 10 packs of 5 pieces of dressing 20 with X-ray tracing 201 is exemplified:

(1) the conventional counting method comprises the following steps: since each of the dressing packs 20 is identical and the X-ray tracing 201 is the same color, 10 conventional dressing packs are counted after the operation, and all 50 identical dressings 20 need to be counted from 1 to 50, which easily results in wrong counting.

(2) Dressing 20 count method of the present application: for example, counting the dressings 20 with 10 wrapping belts and different colors of the X-ray tracking lines 201, firstly dividing the collected dressings 20 into 5 pieces, taking the dressings 20 with 5 different colors of the X-ray tracking lines 201 as a group, totaling 10 groups, and then counting the number of the 5 pieces collected in each group.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the outer cover 10 is made of soft material or hard material, the outer cover 10 includes a top layer 101 and a bottom layer 102, the top layer 101 is connected with the edge of the bottom layer 102 in a sealing manner, and at least two pieces of the dressing 20 are sealed between the top layer 101 and the bottom layer 102. Preferably, the top layer 101 is a plastic film material, and the bottom layer 102 is a paper material or a plastic film material.

In this embodiment, the outer package 10 is an aseptic package, the top layer 101 is a plastic film, and the bottom layer 102 is a paper or plastic film, wherein the plastic film may be a transparent plastic film, and after the top layer 101 and the bottom layer 102 are sealed hermetically, bacteria invasion must be prevented, so that a heat seal, an ultrasonic seal, a film seal or a gas seal can be used between the top layer 101 and the bottom layer 102, and a part of the seal of the top layer 101 and the bottom layer 102 can be left to be a tear seal for being opened quickly when in use.

Preferably, the dressing 20 is made of at least one layer of rayon, polyester, bamboo, polypropylene, wood pulp, non-woven fabric or cotton gauze, ensuring good water absorption and softness of the dressing 20.

It is understood that the X-ray tracing line 201 is made of a hydrophobic rubber material containing at least 50% by weight of barium sulfate, which is easily traced by the X-ray device. Preferably, the rubber material may be a thermoplastic elastomer or polyvinyl chloride, and is easily fixed to the surface of the dressing 20 by a process such as heat pressing, ultrasonic welding, or the like.

Preferably, the color of the X-ray tracing 201 is different from the color of the patient's organ and the color of the blood-saturated dressing 20. In the embodiment of the present invention, the X-ray tracing wire 201 is made of thermoplastic elastomer TPE or polyethylene PVC, which are hydrophobic materials, so that the color of the X-ray tracing wire 201 is prominent even if the dressing 20 is soaked with blood after the operation.

Illustratively, the X-ray tracing lines 201 are long strips or wavy stripes, have a diameter of 0.5mm to 2mm, are suitable for being mounted on the surface of the dressing 20, and are easy to be developed and traced, and at the same time, do not affect the usability such as water absorption and softness of the dressing 20.

Preferably, the predetermined dimensions of the dressing 20 (folded dimensions) are configured to be 5cm to 70cm in width and 5cm to 70cm in length. It will be appreciated that more space can be saved by folding the dressing 20 to a predetermined size to place more dressings 20.

Overall, the surgical dressing package of the present invention has the following advantages over conventional sterile surgical dressing packages:

(1) the different color X-ray tracing lines 201 provide a very effective visual aid.

(2) Not only is the counting process facilitated, but also the counting accuracy is improved.

(3) When counting the dressings 20 post-operatively, the collected dressings 20 may be divided into a plurality of sub-groups using X-ray tracing 201 of different colors. The number of collected groups per group was then counted.

Compared with other surgery dressing safety improvement systems which are applied in the market, the sterile surgery dressing package provided by the utility model has the following advantages:

(1) the cost of the sterile surgical dressing bag is not increased.

(2) No additional chips, computers and other electronic accessories are required.

(3) The using method is easy to understand and use, and the operators do not need to receive special training.
