Abstract

[PROBLEMS] To focus on the improvement of the most basic function of surgical gauze, which is the visibility during surgery, and to identify black cotton yarn that is easy to identify even if it is stained with blood and does not inhibit the absorption of blood. It is possible to improve the visibility by doctors and medical staff by weaving in a lattice pattern at regular intervals, and provide an inexpensive surgical gauze as compared with a type using a detector.
SOLUTION: Absorbing blood and the like by braiding black colored silk threads on the entire surface of the gauze at regular intervals instead of colored yarn or metal fiber made of synthetic resin, which is a material that impairs absorbability of blood and the like. Surgical gauze with improved visibility during surgery due to a lattice pattern on the entire surface of the gauze that does not impair the gender.

Description

Detailed description of the invention

  The present invention relates to a surgical gauze that has improved visibility during surgical operations by doctors and medical staff by braiding black yarn into warp and weft at regular intervals.

  Conventional surgical gauze is a plain fabric woven using white cotton yarn, so it is stained with blood during surgery and the visibility is significantly reduced, causing a serious medical error such as forgetting to remove it. Is.

  In order to prevent medical mistakes such as forgetting to take out, IC chips are attached or metal fibers or X-ray contrast yarns are knitted. However, these are expensive detectors that inhibit the absorption of blood, etc. Is what you need.

  In addition, since a check operation using a detector must be added during the operation, it will lead to an extension of the operation time, or if it is confirmed that the patient has forgotten to remove it after post-operative X-rays, re-operation is required. It will be.

  Furthermore, it is expensive as a surgical gauze that consumes a large number of sheets in one surgical operation.

Problems that the device tries to solve

  Surgical gauze used for surgery is stained with blood and the like during surgery, and the visibility by doctors and medical staff is markedly reduced. This causes serious medical errors such as forgetting to remove or misplacement. Yes.

  In order to prevent these medical mistakes, an IC chip attached to a surgical gauze or a metal fiber or X-ray contrast yarn woven has been devised, both of which inhibit blood absorption and are detected during surgery It is necessary to check forgetting to take out by using a container, or to confirm that there is no recovery by X-ray photography after the operation.

  In addition, these surgical gauze all require expensive detectors, and the detection work must be added during the operation, leading to the extension of the operation time or recovery after the operation. If a leak or the like is confirmed, reoperation is necessary.

  Further, since a large number of gauze is consumed in one operation, a gauze with an IC chip attached or a metal fiber or an X-ray contrast yarn is woven is expensive.

Means for solving the problem

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention pays attention to the most basic improvement of the surgical gauze, which has high visibility, and the surgical suture silk is black. Black threads that are easy to identify even when stained with blood are woven into a gauze for operation at regular intervals in a lattice pattern to improve visibility by doctors and medical staff in charge of surgery.

  Visibility is also enhanced by a lattice-like pattern that is not inherent in human or animal tissues or organs.

  Furthermore, the surgical gauze of the present invention is a simple one in which black yarn is knitted into a warp and weft in a lattice pattern at regular intervals, and therefore can be provided at a lower cost than a type using a detector.

  The surgical gauze warp and weft yarns are knitted in black at regular intervals and may be of any type as long as it does not impair the absorbability of blood or the like in addition to cotton yarn and silk yarn.

  The black yarn weaving interval is suitably about 5 mm to 1 cm in width, but can be freely selected within a range that does not impair visibility.

  Further, the visibility may be further improved by using a black yarn twisted and thickened by a twisting machine.

Effect of device

  As can be seen from the fact that black silk thread or the like is used for surgical sutures, the black thread is easy to identify even if it is stained with blood or the like, and has the effect of improving the visibility of gauze during surgery.

  Further, the visibility is enhanced by a lattice-like pattern that is not originally present in human or animal tissues or organs, which is an effective means for preventing a serious medical error such as forgetting to remove or misplace the surgical gauze.

  It is a top view of the surgical gauze which improved the visibility of this invention.
