Description

The present invention relates to a used surgical needle storage device, and more particularly to a used surgical needle storage device that can safely treat and easily manage used surgical needles.

Regarding the needles used by doctors for suturing or puncturing during surgery, count the number of needles prepared in advance by doctors and nurses before surgery, and each time the suturing or puncturing is completed, each needle is placed in a predetermined container. After the surgery is completed, the number of sutures is counted, and after confirming that the number is correct, the sutures are often processed together. Since many of these surgical needles are sharp and small, they are easily lost if they are simply placed in a container, and as a result, they may not match the number of needles confirmed before surgery. In addition, since you may stab your hand with a needle when placing it in a container, surgery for those who have developed an infectious disease or who have been infected, such as those who have developed hepatitis C or infected with the AIDS virus. If you do, there is a possibility of infection to medical personnel.

Therefore, in the case of surgical needles, it is also practiced to pierce a sponge or cork with a needle after suturing or puncturing, check the number after surgery, and then dispose of it. The problem arises.

In particular, in the case of a microneedle after use (for example, a needle having a length of about 3 mm or less) used by a doctor for suturing a small blood vessel during a heart disease operation or the like, a sponge or the like can be used. If it is pierced, it will get inside the sponge, etc., and it will be difficult to check the number after surgery. Therefore, there is a demand for a microneedle storage device in which the used microneedle is securely fixed, danger is prevented and the needle can be reliably collected, and the needle can be easily stored without falling off, and the number of needles can be easily confirmed. ing.

For example, as a storage container for used surgical needles, it is composed of a plastic sheet folded in half, the upper sheet constitutes the lid portion of the lower sheet, and the lower sheet has side walls on its three sides, and the side wall thereof. A first adhesive tape is provided on at least a part of the inner surface of the lower sheet other than the above, and a second adhesive tape is provided on the edge of at least one side of the upper sheet, and a predetermined one is provided above or below the first adhesive tape. It is known that a plurality of rubber magnet pieces are provided in parallel at intervals of the above, and a release paper is provided on a lower sheet to which the rubber magnet pieces are adhered (see, for example, Patent Document 1). .. However, this storage container is not always suitable for storing micro needles. This is because a rubber magnet is used, which may cause an adverse effect on peripheral devices (electronic devices) due to the influence of magnetic field lines.

Various storage containers have been proposed in addition to the above storage containers, but not all of them have been able to safely treat and easily manage used surgical needles.
