Description

  The present invention relates to a gauze holder containing a predetermined number of gauze used in a surgical operation or the like.

  Conventionally, gauze used during a surgical operation is difficult to remove one by one because tweezers are used from the uppermost gauze in which a plurality of gauze is laminated, or they are taken out by hand. In addition, it is necessary to confirm the number of gauze used during the operation in order to ensure the safety of the operation so that the gauze may not be left in the patient's body after the operation.

  Therefore, the number of gauze prepared by the doctor and nurse before the operation is counted, and it is confirmed whether or not the number of the gauze collected before suturing the affected area matches.

  In patent document 1, the gauze holder which can count easily the number of the gauze used in the surgery is disclosed. In this gauze holder, a predetermined number of gauze holes are provided in one gauze holder, and the gauze is accommodated in the gauze holes. Therefore, the number of gauze prepared by surgery can be easily counted.

  In Patent Document 2, since a cut is formed in a sheet-like gauze holder and a predetermined number of gauze is locked, the number of prepared gauze can be easily counted in this case as well.

  However, the gauze holder in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 simply stores the gauze in the gauze hole, and is rounded even if the gauze is taken out from the gauze hole. Need to loosen the gauze. Further, since the gauze after use absorbs blood and expands, it is difficult to store it again in the vacated gauze hole.

  Since the gauze holder of Patent Document 2 is locked to the locking portion in a sheet shape without rounding the gauze on the gauze holder, it is not necessary to loosen the gauze. However, when counting the gauze after the operation, it is necessary to lock the gauze one by one to the locking portion, and time and labor are required for counting.

  The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the gauze accommodated when the gauze is taken out can be easily loosened, and the gauze after use can be recovered and accommodated again, so the number of gauze used can be easily confirmed It is to provide a gauze holder that can be used.

  The gauze holder according to the present invention for achieving the above object is made of a synthetic resin material, formed with a predetermined number of gauze housing recesses, provided with gauze extraction holes at the bottoms of the gauze housing recesses, A gauze ball obtained by rolling the gauze is accommodated, and a part of the gauze is pulled out from the gauze drawing hole.

  The gauze holder according to the present invention can easily loosen the gauze when taking out the gauze from the gauze holder, and also can easily check the mismatch of the number of gauze after collection, greatly reducing the burden on doctors and nurses. can do.

The present invention will be described in detail based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a plan view of the gauze holder of the embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a front view thereof. A gauze holder 1 made of a synthetic resin material such as transparent or translucent polypropylene having translucency is provided with a flat portion 3 that is depressed from the plane of the peripheral flange portion 2, and the flat portion 3 has a folded gauze. For example, ten gauze accommodating recesses 4 are formed which are recessed toward the bottom side to accommodate the balls. At the bottom of the gauze receiving recess 4, various shapes of gauze extraction holes 5 such as round holes and cross-shaped cuts are formed for extracting the gauze. In addition, a grip portion 6 for gripping is provided on the upper surface of the flat portion 3.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory view of how to fold the gauze ball housed in the gauze housing recess 4. As shown in (a), for example, a gauze 11 is used which is substantially parallel to the side AB of a square gauze 11 having a side of 30 cm and woven with one X-ray contrast yarn 12 near the side AB. As shown in (b), the triangle on the corner D side is folded inward along a line segment connecting positions b and c separated by about 3 cm from corners B and C located on the opposite sides of the gauze 11. In this way, by folding the gauze 11 at the positions b and c separated by about 3 cm from the corners B and C, two end pieces 13b and 13c where the gauze 11 does not overlap can be obtained at the corners B and C.

  Subsequently, as shown in (c), the portion folded inward in (b) is further outwardly folded to a width of about 3 cm, and then folded again in a width of about 3 cm as shown in (d). A bellows fold in which the inner fold and the mountain fold are repeatedly performed is performed, and the triangle on the corner A side is similarly folded, so that the gauze 11 has a band shape as shown in FIG.

  Then, a gauze ball 11 'having a ball shape is obtained by winding the band-shaped gauze 11 of (e) so as to be rounded from the corner C side to the corner B side as shown in FIG. At this time, it is necessary to hang the end piece 13c on the corner C side downward, and it is preferable that the X-ray contrast yarn 12 is positioned on the outer surface of the gauze ball.

  FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which the gauze balls 11 ′ thus rolled are accommodated in the gauze accommodating recesses 4 of the gauze holder 1. When the gauze ball 11 ′ is pushed into the gauze receiving recess 4 and stored, the end piece 13 c of the gauze ball 11 ′ is protruded downward from the gauze extraction hole 5. Further, even if the X-ray contrast yarn 12 is disposed on the outer surface of the gauze ball 11 ′ and the gauze ball 11 ′ is accommodated in the gauze accommodating recess 4 of the translucent gauze holder 1, the gauze accommodating recess 4 passes through the gauze accommodating recess 4. The X-ray contrast yarn 12 can be easily visually recognized.

  In shipping the gauze holder 1, as shown in the perspective view shown in FIG. 6, the gauze holder 1 containing the gauze ball 11 ′ is accommodated in a tray 23 having a flange portion 21 and a step portion 22 inside thereof, The flange portion 2 of the gauze holder 1 is locked to the step portion 22 of the tray 23. Further, sterilized paper 24 is adhered and sealed to the flange portion 21 of the tray 23, and sterilized using a sterilizing gas such as ethylene oxide. It is preferable that the depth of the tray 23 from the step portion 22 is larger than the depth of the gauze receiving recess 4, and a gap exists between the bottom of the tray 23 and the bottom of the gauze receiving recess 4.

  In use, after removing the sterilized paper 24 from the flange portion 21, the grip portion 6 is gripped and the gauze holder 1 is taken out from the tray 23. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the gauze holder 1 is used in the reverse direction. Thus, even if the gauze holder 1 is turned upside down, the gauze ball 11 ′ does not fall due to the frictional resistance against the gauze receiving recess 4. Subsequently, the end piece 13 c of the gauze ball 11 ′ protruding from the gauze extraction hole 5 is extracted using tweezers P. Alternatively, the end piece 13c of the gauze ball 11 'may be pulled out with the hand of the doctor or nurse wearing gloves or the like without using the tweezers P.

  All gauze balls 11 'are preferably pulled out of the gauze holder 1 and used for quick response, but can be pulled out one by one as needed during the operation.

  At this time, since the end piece 13c is wound inside the gauze ball 11 ', if the end piece 13c is pulled out, the remaining gauze 11 can be pulled out smoothly. In addition, since the gauze ball 11 ′ is accordion-folded, the gauze ball 11 ′ can be easily loosened when pulled out from the gauze extraction hole 5, and can be restored to a shape that is easy to use in surgery.

  When the used gauze 11 ″ is collected from the patient's body, the gauze holder 1 is mounted in the tray 23 with the gauze receiving recess 4 facing upward as shown in FIG. In this state, the gauze receiving recess 4 of the gauze holder 1 accommodates the gauze 11, 11 ″ regardless of use or unused, and the gauze 11, It is confirmed whether 11 "is returning. Thereby, it can prevent leaving gauze 11 in a patient's body.

  Further, during the collection of the gauze 11 ″, a part of the blood contained in the gauze 11 ″ falls into the tray 23 from the gauze extraction hole 5 of the gauze housing recess 4, so that even the gauze 11 ″ expanded with the blood can be used. It can be pushed in easily.

  Further, since the height of the flat portion 3 is lower than the flange portion 2 of the gauze holder 1, when the gauze 11 ″ containing blood is pushed into the gauze housing recess 4, the blood overflows from the flange portion 2 and flows out to the outside. Can be prevented.

  Since the blood that has fallen on the tray 23 accumulates at the bottom of the tray 23 and does not flow out to the outside, the amount of blood absorbed by the gauze 11 ″ can be calculated by measuring the weight before and after use. The amount of bleeding can be estimated.

  For example, if the weight of one gauze 11 is 3 grams, the weight of the gauze holder 1 is 12 grams, the weight of the tray 23 is 12 grams, and the total weight after collecting the gauze 11, 11 ″ is 200 grams, −3 × 10−12−12 = 146, and the weight of blood can be calculated as 146 grams.

  Further, when discarding, the gauze holder 1, the gauze 11, 11 ″, the tray 23, and the sterilized paper 24 can be discarded together, which is convenient.

  The gauze holder 1 containing the gauze 11 may be sterilized without being accompanied by the tray 23 and sealed together with the gauze holder 1 containing the gauze 11 in a plastic bag or a bag made of sterilized paper.

  In the embodiment, the gauze 11 in which the X-ray contrast yarn 12 is woven is used in order to discover the gauze 11 left in the patient body by X-ray imaging, but the X-ray contrast yarn 12 is not necessarily used. Not necessary.
