Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a cover to be used for dust-proofing and germicidal protection of a storage container for instruments such as forceps used in various clinics and hospitals.

[0002]

[Prior art and its problems]

 Cylindrical containers are known as storage containers for medical instruments and surgical instruments such as forceps, scissors, joints, and cotton swabs used in various clinics and hospitals. This type of storage container, like a pen stand, is high enough to store only the lower half of the device so that the storage device can be easily taken out, so no lid is provided.

[0003] However, instruments stored in this type of storage container require sufficient sanitary management in view of the intended use, but conventionally, a cover sheet for dust and germ proofing must be provided outside the consultation hours. After that, only containers and utensils are regularly disinfected and sterilized using an autoclave or the like. However, even during the consultation hours, such as during the daytime, there is a sufficient risk that airborne dust, bacteria, and fungi in the indoor atmosphere will fall naturally and adhere to and contaminate the storage container and the instruments stored therein. It is not only unsanitary but also causes nosocomial infections. In addition, since the cover sheet for dust and germ-proofing is generally an opaque cloth, it is not possible to check for equipment shortage from the outside of the cover sheet. In some cases, it was wasteful. Furthermore, in order to solve these problems even a little, antibacterial materials have been used frequently in containers and utensils, which not only increases the cost but also adversely affects MRSA and the like.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the storage container cover such as forceps of the present invention which can be carried out as described above, the cover can be placed on a storage container of a corresponding size, so that it is conventionally projected upward from the storage container. The exposed instruments such as forceps are shielded from the atmosphere environment outside the cover by the dust-proof and antibacterial columnar space formed inside the cover, and falling dust and bacteria generated in the atmosphere environment outside the cover are removed. It is possible to effectively prevent molds from adhering. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the storage equipment during storage from being contaminated by falling dust, bacteria, and molds, and to store the equipment in a sanitary manner, and to contaminate the equipment by falling dust, bacteria, and molds. The risk of hospital-acquired infections caused by the disease is also eliminated.

In addition, since the transparent cover is used, it is possible to easily and visually confirm the storage container in the cover even with the cover, so that it is easy and efficient to check the preparation status of the instruments before medical treatment. It can be performed, and the shortage of equipment at the time of medical treatment can be hindered, and the risk of wasting a large amount of time is eliminated. Furthermore, as described above, it is possible to effectively prevent instrument contamination due to falling dust, bacteria, and molds, so that it is not necessary to use antibacterial materials extensively in containers and instruments. The risk of adversely affecting MRSA and the like is reduced.

Of course, since the cover is heat-resistant, it can be sterilized by heating and disinfecting it together with instruments and containers by an autoclave or the like, if necessary. Can be stored hygienically.

According to the configuration of the second aspect, the cylindrical cover can always be positioned and used concentrically with respect to the storage container by using the lower end projecting pedestal portion of the storage container. When the cover is put on the storage container or when the storage container is moved on the table, the sliding contact between the inner surface of the cover and the peripheral surface of the storage container can be prevented.

According to the configuration of the third aspect, even if the cover is used for a large storage container, the height of the cover can be reduced, and the cost of the cover can be reduced. . Moreover, the dust-proof and germicidal cylindrical space formed inside the cover can be securely closed at the upper end of the storage container, and there is no possibility that the dust-proof and germicide-proof effect is reduced. Further, even when a handle is attached to the storage container and a notch portion into which the handle enters needs to be provided on the side surface of the cover, dust, bacteria, and molds are externally exposed to the inside of the cover through the notch portion. There is no danger of getting into the dust-proof and germicidal column-shaped space formed in the room.

Further, according to the configuration of the fourth aspect, the dustproof and antibacterial cover of the present invention can be easily used for a storage container with a handle.
