FR3017530A1 - DEVICE FOR SECURE HANDLING AND CLEANING OF CUTTING AND / OR CUTTING SURGICAL MATERIALS - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a device particularly suitable for, inter alia, the specialty nurses: "Operating Room" during the instrumentation (before / during / after) of surgical operations in areas of human health and / or Veterinary. Its objectives - through the exploitation of its intrinsic and extrinsic qualities - on the one hand; to allow the physical cleansing of certain surgical materials during and after the surgical procedures and secondly; provide material assistance to the handling / use of so-called sensitive materials (sharp and / or sharp) in order to avoid the 15 Accidents by Exposure to Blood (AES) - in work situations for the infiimiers of Health - by punctures / cuts during uses of said materials contaminated or not by organic matter or other contaminated and / or harmful. To do this: it is manually made possible, thanks to this movable plate, to adapt and disassemble sharp metal blades of cold scalpels of their carrying sleeve, to clean by rubbing the electrosurgical electrodes electrodes, finally rid by scratching residues coagulas adhering to the internal jaws of surgical instruments. For ease of handling, whether right-handed or left-handed. these functions are identical and accessible on both sides of the board. It will be noted that there is provision for additional protection - on-level and of variable size according to the models - making it possible to avoid A, E, S, for personnel handling during operations on said stage. The device is feasible in disposable materials (plastic type extruded polymer) or multipurpose (metal type stainless steel) authorized by the standards in force for the health sectors considered (Human and / or Veterinary Medical Sector). The innovative features of the invention are: Major: 35 40 Minors A system for adapting / disabling the metal blades of their carrying handle, A system for unloading electrosurgical electrodes, A system for cleaning / unloading internal jaws of surgical equipment, a protective / secure system for the user technician. Sterilizable device without sharp edge or sharp / salient angle The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention. The most preferred variants of the invention are: - variability of the nature of the material constituting the platinum (plastic - metal etc). - variability of colors of the constituent materials of the invention. - Variability of the dimensions and number of technical zones according to the models.

The technical areas available on both sides of platinum are based on four specific applications and functions. Illustrations of these and examples in function are represented by the figures in appendices.

Figure I: we will notice in examples of the functions the four applications 1 adaptation / désadaptation of cutting metal blades of their carrying sleeve 2décharbonnage of the surgical tweezers 3- Electro-lancet electrodes electrodes 4- the system high-security in "U" for an effective secure grip.

An example of dimensions (Thickness Width Length) is illustrated. Figure II 15 Technical area 1 Consists of a specific area with double level fingerprints with stops, presence of streaks on the upper level surface and notches in the thickness of the plastic allowing to adapt / disassemble the blades of cold scalpels their Bearing 1a) 1b) 20 Technical Area 2 Consists of a thin, curved U-shaped elevation allowing the protection of the operator's fingers during the technical maneuvers described in the functionalities mentioned. 2 a) 25 Technical area 3 Consists of a "Y" notch - bevelled over its entire height and sides - intended to allow, by "contact friction", the unloading, electrodes electrosurgical devices in this. last. 3 a) 30 Technical zone 4 Consists of zones, notched specific reliefs studied and distributed on both sides of the plate. It is thus made possible to clean, by friction on these notched reliefs, the jaws of all types of equipment including surgical tongs to break them down / rid of residues of organic coagulas or other materials 4 a) 4 b) Example in situation d adaptation / securing of a clean blade of cold knife to its carrying handle Sa) 40 Preferably, the plate according to the invention is designed to avoid AES by injections / cuts when handling sensitive objects (such as cold scalpels) and allow the unclogging by physical cleaning of surgical instruments that have been used. in coagulation operations It is characterized in that it comprises four "specific technical areas / zones" A bi-facial double-sided notched zone, a "Y" notch zone, a "U" protective zone, finally an area for adapting and / or disabling cold lancet blades of their carrying handle turn adapt a blade to its handle, the operator places, with one hand, the blade in the lower footprint (sort of system "blade block" ), maintaining it by simple pressure with the help of his thumb (the cutting part of the blade, then included in the lower thickness of the plastic of the impression, is, by this "inactivated" contact, thus canceling the risk of AES by clipping) the upper level of the footprint, itself, throwing the role of visual cue allowing the operator to under-click, by a lateral thrusting movement by his other hand, the carrying handle in the notch provided in the body structure of the considered blade. An indentation is provided for this purpose in the thickness of the plate to facilitate the gesture. To dis-adapt the blade: "mismatch abutments" make it possible to perform the reverse operation - by placing the proximal portion of the blade of the bistoury in abutment and in contact with the said abutments, then exerting a reverse necking movement with maneuvering. toggle down between platinum and scalpel / blade assembly. The blade, then free, falls, driven by its own weight. A receptacle provided for this purpose in advance by the operator: a specific box with sensitive objects, for example, will be ideal.

The plate has two "duplexes" recto / verso delimiting and facilitating the "grip" of the thumb and index device to the operator. They are surmounted by an original system of protection - of variable height - on a semicircular level "U" shape securing the so-called housing facing risks 20D of contact with the fingers of the operator with the prick cutting of materials to be treated during the various operations. cited. The plate according to the invention has no edge or sharp edge and / or sharp / salient.

The dimensions (thickness, width, length of the device), the number of technical zones (1 to 4) and the effective working surfaces by technical zones 2) 3 and 4) are variable depending on the models of plates produced. The thickness of the plate itself as well as the number of technical zones per device are subject to variations. Only the templates of the technical area 1) are fixed and adapted to the templates of the current and / or future metal blades marketed by the manufacturers / distributors.
