Description

  The present invention relates to a used surgical microneedle container.

  Regarding the needles used by a doctor for suturing or puncturing at the time of surgery, count the number of needles prepared in advance by the doctor or nurse before the operation, and put them one by one in a predetermined container each time suturing or puncturing is completed. After the operation is over, the number is counted, and after confirming that the number is present, it is processed together. Since many of these surgical needles are sharp and small, they can easily be lost if they are simply placed in a container, and as a result, the number of needles confirmed before surgery may not match. In addition, the needle may be stabbed with a needle when it is placed in the container. Therefore, when performing surgery for hepatitis C patients or persons infected with AIDS virus, there is a possibility of infection to medical personnel. Occurs.

  Therefore, the surgical needle after suturing or puncturing is pierced into a sponge or cork, etc., and the number of the needles is confirmed after the operation and then disposed of. is there.

  In particular, in the case of post-use microneedles (for example, those with a length of about 3 mm or less) used by doctors for sutures of thin blood vessels during heart disease surgery, etc. When pierced, it enters the inside of a sponge or the like, making it difficult to check the number after surgery. Therefore, there is a need for a microneedle storage device that can securely fix the used microneedles, prevent danger and reliably collect them, and can be easily stored without dropping and the number can be confirmed. .

  For example, as a container for used surgical needles, it consists of a folded plastic sheet, the upper sheet constitutes the lid part of the lower sheet, and the lower sheet has side walls on its three sides. A first adhesive tape is provided on at least a part of the inner surface of the lower sheet, a second adhesive tape is provided on an edge of at least one side of the upper sheet, and a predetermined adhesive is provided above or below the first adhesive tape. It is known that a plurality of rubber magnet pieces are provided in parallel at intervals, and a release paper is provided on a lower sheet to which the rubber magnet pieces are bonded (see, for example, Patent Document 1). However, this storage container is not necessarily suitable for storing microneedles.

  The used surgical needle storage device is a used surgical needle storage device in which at least one rectangular parallelepiped plastic foam is fixed to the surface of a support, and the foam includes a plurality of used surgical needle storage devices. A laminate in which a foam material is laminated with an adhesive along its longitudinal direction and laminated, and when the surgical needle is inserted into the longitudinal side surface of the foam, it can be inserted through the adhesive layer. What is comprised so that it can do is known (for example, refer patent document 2). However, this storage device is not suitable for storing microneedles.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In the drawings, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, at least one rectangular storage member 102 is fixed on the surface of the support 101. 1 and 3, a total of eight storage members 102 are shown in two rows, but the number and rows are not limited, and may be one or two or more. There may be one column or two or more columns. The storage member 102 is configured as a laminated body in which release paper 103 (103a, 103b, and 103c) and a micro needle pressing member 104 are laminated.

  The laminate is provided such that a part of the release paper 103 a provided in contact with the surface of the support 101 and the release paper 103 is folded and stacked on the part 103 a of the release paper. The remaining portion 103b of the release paper, the adhesive layer 105 that can be detachably bonded to the remaining portion 103b of the release paper on the remaining portion 103b of the release paper, and the micro needle pressing member 104 to which the adhesive layer 105 is attached It is made up of. When the used surgical microneedle container of the present invention is used, the remaining portion 103b of the release paper is configured to be peelable from the microneedle pressing member 104. The front end of the part 103 a of the release paper provided in contact with the surface of the support 101 is bent to the opposite side with respect to the support 101. The part 103c of the folded release paper constitutes a grip portion for peeling the release paper 103 when the used surgical microneedle container of the present invention is used. A portion of the microneedle pressing member 104 that is not bonded to the release paper is fixed on the surface of the support 101. A perforation 106 is formed through the micro needle pressing member 104 and the release paper 103 at the boundary between the fixed portion of the micro needle pressing member 104 and the portion adhered to the release paper.

  There is no particular limitation on the method for producing the storage member 102, and any method may be used as long as the desired structure can be obtained. An example of the manufacturing method will be described. For example, when a plurality of storage members 102 are arranged in a row on the surface of the support 101, the plurality of storage members include a single release paper sheet and a micro needle pressing member sheet. The laminated body is laminated by cutting into a desired number of cuts 107 having a predetermined length in one direction from one end of the laminated body so that the desired number of storage members is obtained. can do. At this time, the notch 107 is inserted so as to exceed the portion of the perforation 106, but it is stopped in front of the other end side of the laminate so that the storage members do not fall apart. There is no particular limitation on the material of the release paper, and any normal release paper may be used. The material of the microneedle pressing member paper is not particularly limited, and may be broken by, for example, a surgical microneedle. It is sufficient if the paper is thick enough not to be used, or plastic paper.

  The perforation can be formed using a known perforation cutter. For example, the width of the tooth portion is 1 to 2 mm, preferably about 1.5 mm, and the tooth interval is 1 to 3 mm, preferably 2. It can be formed using a cutter having teeth of about 0 mm. By forming this perforation, when the used surgical microneedle container of the present invention is used as described later, the release paper 103, and hence the remaining portion 103b of the release paper, may be broken or bent. It can be easily peeled off from the micro needle pressing member 104 without doing so.

  The material of the support 101 is not particularly limited, and the fixed microneedles can be easily recognized, and even if the microneedle holding member is opaque, the presence and number of needles fixed from the back side of the support can be confirmed at a glance. Any material that can be used is acceptable. For example, a known hard plastic may be used. The shape of the support 101 is not particularly limited, but a grip member may be provided on the support 101 in order to facilitate operation.

  The symbol display method may be any method, for example, a symbol such as a number may be directly printed on the upper surface of the support 101, or a sheet displaying the symbol may be stuck on the surface of the support 101. . Moreover, it is preferable to draw a dividing line in accordance with the displayed symbol. With this configuration, the number of fixed microneedles can be confirmed more easily.

  Next, a method of using the surgical microneedle container after use of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, the gripping portion, which is the folded tip portion of the part 103a of the release paper, is lifted so that the surface of the support 101 appears (FIGS. 4A and 4B). Next, the remaining portion 103b of the release paper bonded to the micro needle pressing member 104 is peeled off to expose the adhesive portion (FIG. 4C). At this time, because there is a predetermined perforation 106, the remaining portion 103b of the release paper is easily peeled off from the adhesive layer 105 without tearing or bending the release paper.

  Thereafter, the post-use microneedle N used by a doctor for suturing a thin blood vessel at the time of heart disease surgery or the like is placed on the surface of the support 101 that has appeared, and the adhesive adhered to the microneedle pressing member 104 from above. The layer 105 portion is covered on the support 101 (FIG. 4D), and the micro needle N is fixed.

  Thus, since the micro needle N is securely fixed on the surface of the support 101 and easily stored, danger is prevented and the micro needle N can be reliably recovered. Furthermore, since it can fix completely with an adhesive agent, the microneedle N does not fall out. In this case, if a symbol for counting the used surgical microneedles N is displayed on the surface of the support 101 and near one end in the longitudinal direction of the storage member 102, the order of the symbols is as follows. By fixing the microneedles to the support, the support is preferably made of a plastic material that can recognize the fixed needle (translucent material, transparent material). The presence and number of microneedles N fixed from the back side can be seen at a glance (FIG. 4 (e)).

  According to the present invention, it is possible to safely treat and manage a needle for suturing or puncturing during a surgical operation, in particular, a surgical microneedle after use used for suturing a thin blood vessel during a heart disease operation or the like. Can be used effectively in the medical field.
