In the following description, the vertical direction in FIGS. 1 and 2 is also simply referred to as "vertical direction". The vertical direction need not coincide with the direction of gravity when the medical needle holder 1 is used.

The medical needle holder 1 includes a holder main body 2, a side cover portion 3, a lower surface cover portion 4, a handle portion 5, and an adhesive layer 6. The holder body 2 is a member having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape (that is, a substantially square columnar shape), and has an upper surface 21, a lower surface 22, and four side surfaces 23. The upper surface 21, the lower surface 22, and the four side surfaces 23 are each substantially rectangular. The upper surface 21 and the lower surface 22 are, for example, substantially square. The holder body 2 is formed of a relatively flexible member capable of piercing a medical needle. The holder body 2 is formed of, for example, a resin such as polyethylene. In the present embodiment, the holder body 2 is a sponge member formed of a polyethylene foam.

The upper surface 21 of the holder body 2 is a surface on which a used medical needle is pierced and fixed. The lower surface 22 of the holder body 2 is located on the opposite side of the upper surface 21 in the vertical direction. The four side surfaces 23 connect the upper surface 21 and the lower surface 22. The upper surface 21 and the lower surface 22 are planes substantially perpendicular to the vertical direction. Each of the four side surfaces 23 is a plane substantially parallel to the vertical direction.

The side cover portion 3 is a substantially square tubular member, and covers the four side surfaces 23 of the holder body 2 over substantially the entire surface. The side cover portion 3 is a member that is so hard that it is substantially impossible to pierce a medical needle. The side cover portion 3 is made of, for example, a thin flat plate made of resin such as polypropylene. The side cover portion 3 is a substantially opaque member. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the thickness of the side cover portion 3 is drawn thicker than it actually is.

The lower surface cover portion 4 is a substantially rectangular flat plate-shaped member, and covers the lower surface 22 of the holder body 2 over substantially the entire surface. The lower surface cover portion 4 is a member that is so hard that it is substantially impossible to pierce a medical needle. The handle portion 5 is a member that projects laterally from the lower surface cover portion 4. The handle portion 5 is, for example, a thin plate-shaped member that extends substantially parallel to the upper surface 21 of the holder body 2, and is gripped by a user such as a nurse. The corners of the outer peripheral edge of the handle portion 5 are preferably R-shaped (so-called chamfered shape). As a result, when the user grips the handle portion 5, the corner portion is prevented from hitting the hand, and the handle portion 5 can be easily held.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the handle portion 5 is a member that is connected to the lower surface cover portion 4, and is a substantially rectangular frame-shaped portion that projects laterally from the lower surface cover portion 4 over the entire circumference. is there. The connected member is a substantially rectangular flat plate substantially perpendicular to the vertical direction, and is formed of, for example, a resin such as polypropylene. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the thickness of the connected member is drawn thicker than it actually is. The side cover portion 3 is fixed to the upper surface of the connected member (that is, the lower surface cover portion 4 and the handle portion 5). The side cover portion 3 may be a member that is connected to the lower surface cover portion 4 and the handle portion 5.

The adhesive layer 6 is a thin layer of adhesive provided on the lower surface of the lower surface cover portion 4 below the holder main body 2. The shape of the adhesive layer 6 in a plan view is, for example, a substantially rectangular shape having substantially the same size as the outer shape of the lower surface 22 of the holder body 2 or the lower end of the side cover portion 3. The shape and size of the adhesive layer 6 in a plan view may be changed as appropriate. The adhesive layer 6 may be covered with, for example, a release paper.

The upper surface 21 of the holder body 2 includes one or more first regions 211 and one or more second regions 212. In FIGS. 1 and 2, parallel diagonal lines are provided in the second region 212 in order to distinguish between the first region 211 and the second region 212. The second region 212 is arranged adjacent to the first region 211. In the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the upper surface 21 of the holder body 2 includes two first regions 211 and two second regions 212.

The first region 211 and the second region 212 have different colors or different patterns from each other, and can be visually distinguished from each other. For example, the first region 211 and the second region 212 are plain regions (that is, have no pattern) having different colors. The colors of the first region 211 and the second region 212 are, for example, pink and black, respectively. The colors of the first region 211 and the second region 212 may be similar colors but have different densities. The first region 211 and the second region 212 may be regions having patterns having different shapes (for example, parallel diagonal lines and polka dots) as patterns. The pattern is arranged over substantially the entire first region 211 and second region 212. The first region 211 and the second region 212 may be regions in which patterns having the same shape are distributed at different densities. Both the color and the pattern may be different between the first region 211 and the second region 212.

The colors and patterns of the first region 211 and / or the second region 212 may be the colors and patterns of the holder body 2 itself, or may be printed and displayed on the holder body 2 by an inkjet printer or the like. Alternatively, a sticker displaying the color and pattern may be attached to the first region 211 and / or the second region 212.

For example, when the holder body 2 is made of a plain pink material, the first area 211 is not printed or affixed with a sticker, and the second area 212 is entirely printed with black ink. As a result, a plain pink first region 211 and a plain black second region 212 are realized. Alternatively, in the holder body 2, the lower portion of each of the two first regions 211 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped member formed of a plain pink material, and the lower portion of each of the two second regions 212. Part may be a substantially rectangular parallelepiped member formed of a plain black material. Then, by arranging these four members in a checkered pattern and fixing them to each other, the plain pink first region 211 and the plain black second region 212 can be obtained without printing or sticking a sticker. May be realized.

The side cover portion 3 has four outer surfaces 31 substantially parallel to the four side surfaces 23 of the holder body 2. Each outer surface 31 includes a third region 33 and a fourth region 34.

The fourth region 34 is arranged at a position corresponding to the second region 212 on the upper surface 21 of the holder main body 2, and extends downward from the side edge of the second region 212. The third region 33 and the fourth region 34 are substantially rectangular regions having substantially the same shape. The fourth region 34 is arranged adjacent to the third region 33. The third region 33 and the fourth region 34 are provided over substantially the entire surface of each outer surface 31 of the side cover portion 3. When viewed from a direction perpendicular to the outer side surface 31, the third region 33 extends over substantially the entire width of the first region 211, and the fourth region 34 extends over substantially the entire width of the second region 212.

The third region 33 and the fourth region 34 have different colors or different patterns from each other in substantially the same manner as the first region 211 and the second region 212, and can be visually distinguished from each other. For example, the third region 33 is a plain pink region like the first region 211, and the fourth region 34 is a plain black region like the second region 212. The color and pattern of the third region 33 may be the same as or different from the color and pattern of the first region 211. The color and pattern of the fourth region 34 may be the same as or different from the color and pattern of the second region 212. Both the color and the pattern may be different between the third region 33 and the fourth region 34.

The color and pattern of the third area 33 and / or the fourth area 34 may be the color and pattern of the side cover portion 3 itself, or may be printed and displayed on the side cover portion 3 by an inkjet printer or the like. Good. Alternatively, a sticker displaying the color and pattern may be attached to the third region 33 and / or the fourth region 34.

The medical needle holder 1 is held and used by a user such as a nurse by grasping the handle portion 5. Alternatively, the medical needle holder 1 is used by being fixed to an object such as a suture needle package by adhering the adhesive layer 6 to the object. For example, the user brings a needle holder holding a used suture needle to the tip portion close to the medical needle holder 1, and pierces the suture needle into the first region 211 of the upper surface 21 of the holder body 2 to fix it. In addition, the user pierces and fixes the next used suture needle into the second region 212 adjacent to the first region 211. In the medical needle holder 1, it is possible to insert a medical needle into each of the two first regions 211 and the two second regions 212.

As described above, the medical needle holder 1 includes a holder body 2 having an upper surface 21, a lower surface 22, and a side surface 23. A medical needle can be inserted into the upper surface 21. The lower surface 22 is located on the opposite side of the upper surface 21. The side surface 23 connects the upper surface 21 and the lower surface 22. The upper surface 21 includes a first region 211 and a second region 212. It is possible to pierce the first region 211 with one medical needle. Another medical needle can be inserted into the second region 212. The second region 212 is arranged adjacent to the first region 211 and has a different color or pattern from the first region 211.

In this way, by providing the first region 211 and the second region 212 that can be easily visually identified on the upper surface 21 of the holder main body 2, the user can provide the area where the medical needle is pierced in the medical needle holder 1. It can be easily recognized. Therefore, the user can easily distinguish between the first region 211 and the second region 212, and insert the medical needle into each region in order. That is, the user can easily insert the medical needle into the medical needle holder 1. In addition, the number of medical needles stabbed in the medical needle holder 1 can be easily counted.

In the holder body 2a, the third region 233 and the fourth region 234 may be omitted. The same applies to the medical needle holder 1b.

The numbers of the first region 211 and the second region 212 may be changed as appropriate. For example, the upper surface 21 of the holder bodies 2 and 2a may include only one first region 211 and one second region 212. Alternatively, each of the four first regions 211 and the second regions 212 may be arranged in a 4 × 2 checkered pattern. The number of the first region 211 and the number of the second region 212 may be the same or different as in the above example.

The first region 211 and the second region 212 do not necessarily have to be rectangular regions, and may be regions having various shapes. The first region 211 and the second region 212 do not necessarily have to have the same shape, and may have different sizes and shapes. The first region 211 and the second region 212 do not have to be provided over the entire surface of the upper surface 21 of the holder bodies 2 and 2a, and may be provided only on a part of the upper surface 21.

The holder bodies 2 and 2a do not necessarily have to be rectangular parallelepiped, and may be, for example, a substantially cylindrical column, a substantially triangular columnar column, or a substantially polygonal columnar column having a pentagonal column or more. For example, when the holder bodies 2 and 2a are substantially cylindrical, a plurality of fan-shaped first regions 211 and a plurality of second regions 212 may be alternately arranged in the circumferential direction on the upper surface 21.
