Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of packaging surgical equipment.
- the present invention relates more particularly to a suture package.
- Two-part suture packages comprising a base and a lid are known from the state of the art.
- the base includes a receiving area for receiving a suture.
- the package further includes means for locking the lid at the base to form a closed package.
- the lid is glued to the base after a fusion process.
- a disadvantage of such bonding is the use of chemicals and solvents that can migrate to the suture.
- Another disadvantage is that one or more flat areas large enough (s) on the base for its contact with the lid.
- the base has a peripheral wall, and a plurality of pins protruding from an inner surface of the peripheral wall towards the center of the base.
- the lid is made of a cardboard material whose outer periphery is substantially complementary to the inner surface of the peripheral wall.
- the lid is placed above the base, so that the edge of the lid is aligned with the inner surface of the peripheral wall.
- a tool with teeth presses the cover against the pins, so that the lid is slightly deformed to cross the pieces and get trapped under them.
- the lid is held attached to the base at its outer edge by means of the plurality of pins.
- the implementation of the lid of such a package is industrially difficult to implement; it is indeed necessary a large number of pins so that the lid can be securely attached to the base, which complicates the shape of the base and therefore its manufacture.
- the edge of the cover must be perfectly aligned with the peripheral wall of the base without which the tool provided with teeth presses too strongly on the cardboard cover and leaves there consequently unsightly marks, or press too strongly on the suture itself at the risk of damaging it.
- a plurality of slots are formed in the base, and the lid comprises a plurality of rectangular tabs. To attach the cover to the base, each rectangular tab is engaged in a corresponding slot.
- An object of the invention is to close a suture package by means of locking means which overcome the disadvantages of the prior art mentioned above.
- a suture package comprising:
- a base comprising a receiving zone for receiving a suture
- Means for locking the cover at the base comprising a first slot formed in one of the base and the cover, and a first tab formed in the other of the base and the cover,
- first tongue is shaped and sized to:
- the first tongue has a bent portion forming a stop to retain the first tongue across the first slot when the lid is in the second orientation relative to the base, and / or the lid has a flat surface intended to rest against the base after engagement of the first tongue in the first slot, and wherein the axis of rotation from the first orientation to the second orientation is perpendicular to the planar surface.
- the package may also include the following features, taken alone or in combination when technically possible.
- the first tongue may comprise a portion having: A dimension, measured parallel to the first slot when the lid is in the first orientation relative to the base, which is less than a length of the first slot, and
- the first tongue has for example an L shape.
- the first slot is preferably formed in the base, and the first tab is formed in the cover.
- the lid may comprise a sheet, for example of cardboard, the first tab being formed by cutting the sheet.
- the package may include a boss protruding from the base, the boss having a top for supporting the lid, and a side wall connecting the top to the base, the first slot being formed in the side wall of the boss.
- the locking means may furthermore comprise:
- a suture package includes a base 1 forming a support for a suture.
- the outer peripheral wall 10 has a height greater than the height of the inner wall 11.
- the two slots 58, 60 are formed in the parking area 8 of the base 1, surrounded by the retaining channel 6.
- the cover 62 is a sheet made of flexible material, typically paper or cardboard, where appropriate plasticized.
- the sheet extends in a plane defined by two axes X2 and Y2.
- the through opening 70 is arranged to be superimposed at least in part with the through opening 18 of the base 1, when the cover 62 is positioned on the base 1 in the closed position.
- the first tongue 72 is formed by simply cutting the sheet 62.
- the first tongue 72 comprises an intermediate portion 76 and a free end portion 78.
- the line 80 is not a folding line but simply a demarcation line between the second tab 74 and the remainder of the cover 62, so as to allow the tab to naturally return to a position substantially parallel to the remainder of the cover 62, and also make the tongue more robust.
- the intermediate portion 76 is of length L3 less than or equal to the length L1 of the first slot 58.
- the free end portion 78 extends the intermediate portion 76 opposite the fold line 80; a bend 82 of the first tongue 72 is formed in the portion 78 (this bend 82 may also be considered a point of the L).
- the two portions 76 intermediate and 78 free end are separated by a line 77 parallel to the fold line 80. They are also delimited by side edges 760, 761 for the intermediate portion 76 and 780, 83 for the free end portion 78 which extend perpendicular to the fold line 80. The two side edges 760 and 780 are aligned.
- the two portions 76, 78 of the first tongue 72 are for example of rectangular shape.
- the second tab 74 is intended to be engaged in the second slot 60.
- the second tongue 74 is of length L5 less than the length L2 of the second slot 60.
- the second tongue is formed by a simple cut of the lid, for example C-shaped, without forming an orifice 84.
- the two tabs 72, 74 extend in two opposite directions. In this way, while the cover 62 is in its closed position, accidental release of the second tab 74 out of the second slot 60 by bending the cover is made easy month.
- These locking means comprise the slots 58, 60 formed in the base 1 and the tabs 72, 74 formed in the cover 62. This locking function is more fully described below.
- the lid 62 is locked to the base 1, so as to form a closed suture package, as follows.
- the first tongue 72 is slightly inclined relative to the remainder of the sheet forming the cover 62, by folding along the fold line 80, as can be seen in FIG. the first slot 58 is formed in the side wall 52 of the boss 48, this commitment is made without the first tongue 72 is strongly biased bending. The engagement of the first tongue 72 in the first slot 58 is thus facilitated.
- the lateral edge 83 of the free end portion 78 of the first tongue 72 comes out of the slot 58 through the lower side of the base 1, and is thus in the internal cavity defined by the boss 48, the lower side 4 of the base 1, as shown in FIG.
- the cover 62 is then rotated about an axis perpendicular to the planes (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2), at an angle of about 90 degrees, so that the cover 62 reaches the closed position described above. .
- the free end portion 78 of the first tongue 72 is fully engaged in the first slot 58 of the base 1 by the upper side 2, and then fully out of the slot 58 of the lower side 4 of the based.
- the second tongue 74 is brought closer to the second slot 60 until the curved edge of the second tongue 74 comes into contact with the wall 46 of the rib defining an edge of the second slot 60.
- the second tab 74 is engaged in the second slot 60 by slightly folding the second tab 74 relative to the remainder of the sheet of the cover 62.
- the second tab 74 is engaged in the second slot 60 by slightly bending the second tab 74 by relative to the remainder of the cover sheet 62. This bending can be initiated either during the rotation to the closed position, or once the cover has reached the closed position.
- the fact that the second tab 74 is of curved shape facilitates sliding of the second tab 74 under the wall 44 defining the edge 46 of the second slot 60.
- Figure 7 shows the second tab 74 engaged in the second slot 60 while the cover 62 is in the closed position
- Figure 8 is a more general view of the package while the cover 62 is in the closed position .
- the cover 62 covers at least part of the receiving area of the suture, in order to protect the latter.
- FIG. 9 shows a suture package according to a second embodiment, in which most of the features of the first embodiment are found, in particular the first slot 58 and the first tongue 72.
- This package differs from the packaging according to the first embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 8 in that it comprises a second tab 75 formed in its cover, and a second slot 61 formed in its base, which are oriented differently from the tongue 74 and the 60.
- the second tab 75 of the package according to the second embodiment is oriented in the same direction as the first tab 72, and not in the opposite direction.
- the second slot 61 is arranged to allow double insertion of the two tabs 72, 75 in the two slots 58, 61, as was already the case in the package according to the first embodiment.
- the package according to this second embodiment comprises two tongues 72, 75 extend so as to be inserted respectively in the two slots 58, 61 formed in the base in the same direction.
- Such an arrangement of the tabs has the advantage of avoiding even more effectively an accidental output of the second tab 75 out of the second slot 61, relative to the first embodiment. Indeed, the first tab 74 is prevented from coming out of the first slot 58 thanks to its bent shape.
- the invention is not limited to the embodiments shown in the figures.
- an L shape is particularly advantageous for the first tongue due to its easy to manufacture and engage in the first slot 58
- the first tongue may have other shapes adapted to be blocked across the first slot 58 following a rotation of the cover relative to the base.
