Description

The present invention relates to a locking tool for surgical aids including surgical tapes, surgical pads and sutures with needles used in surgery.

Surgical aids include surgical tapes, surgical pads, and sutures with needles. For example, surgical tapes are used for identifying blood vessels in cardiovascular surgery and thoracic surgery, urinary tract in urological surgery, etc. It is used for temporary retention and identification, temporary retention and identification of tendons, nerves, blood vessels, etc. in orthopedic and plastic surgery. Since such surgical aids play an auxiliary role in performing surgical operations, there are not a few accidents in which care is not taken and they are left in the patient's body after the operation is completed.

Such accidents in which instruments and materials used in surgical operations are misplaced are not limited to surgical tapes, but also surgical pads and sutures with needles used in surgical operations for hemostasis and the like. Therefore, for example, the surgical pad has conventionally been used as a different color mark for clearly indicating that the surgical pad is present at the surgical site during surgery, and is used for pulling out when removing the pad from the body. The thread is sewn and the other end of the thread is stretched out of the body for a long time (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).
