Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a retractable stand device for medical equipment.

<Prior Art> In modern surgeries, such as surgeries that require precision and advanced techniques, such as ophthalmic surgery and neurosurgery, heavy medical equipment such as surgical microscope devices are frequently used. Therefore, a dedicated stand device is required to support such heavy medical equipment in a space above a patient during surgery. Furthermore, in order to reliably support heavy medical equipment, this type of stand device is fixed to a heavy and large base to prevent it from falling or wobbling (Japanese Patent Application No. 62-1344
(See No. 99).

Therefore, such stand apparatuses are generally large and difficult to move, and are usually left on the floor of the operating room.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, leaving such a large stand device in the room at all times puts pressure on the limited space in the operating room, and in particular, the large base of the stand device is Limits the movement space of the surgeon during surgery.

In addition, it is a nuisance even when not in use, and due to its large size, the only hygienic consideration that can be taken is keeping it covered when not in use, and when performing emergency surgery, the necessary parts must be sterilized again. It could not be said that there was sufficient support for urgent surgeries.

This invention has been made by focusing on such conventional technology, and provides a stand and storage device for medical equipment that can be permanently installed in an operating room without getting in the way and that can perform sufficient sterilization treatment. This is what we intend to provide.

Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the medical equipment storage stand device according to the present invention has a lid body that can be opened, closed, or removed so that the operating table side part can be opened. A closed storage box with an internal sterilization means is formed on the side wall of the operating room, and a support column fixed inside the storage box is used to store medical equipment that can be freely pulled out into the space above the operating table when the lid is opened. It is equipped with a horizontal rotating arm that can move up and down.

<Function> A horizontal rotating arm carrying medical equipment is attached to a column fixed to the storage box so that it can move up and down, eliminating the need for a heavy and large base that conventionally caused the size of the stand device. This makes it possible to downsize the stand device. Moreover, when not in use, it can be stored in a storage box on the side wall of the operating room, so it does not get in the way and looks good.

In addition, since the storage box is airtight and equipped with internal sterilization means, the stand device and medical equipment can be sterilized (sterilized) when stored.
, can also be used for surgery.

<Embodiment> A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

1 is an operating room, and an operating table 2 with a height suitable for the operator is installed approximately in the middle. A storage box 6 having substantially the same height as the ceiling (decorative ceiling board) 5 is installed near the pillar 4 of the side wall 3 that partitions the operating room 1. The operating table 2 side of this storage box 6 (center side of the room)
The part is a removable lid 7, and when the lid 7 is removed, the storage box 6 can be opened.
Attaching the lid 7 can sometimes seal the inside of the storage box 6. Furthermore, an ultraviolet sterilizing lamp 8 is installed inside and above the storage box 6, so that the storage box 6 can be turned into a sterilizing box when it is sealed. Further, a partially partitioned storage section 9 is formed at the lower part of the storage box 6.

A vertical support lO is fixed inside the storage box 6 near the pillar 4. Since this column 10 penetrates through the bottom of the storage box 6 and is directly fixed to the floor of the operating room 1, it will not tilt or wobble even when heavy objects are attached to it.

Therefore, since there is no large base on the floor,
Compared to the past, the operator has more space to move around, which is a big advantage, especially for surgeries on the left side of the patient's head.

The support column 10 is provided with an outer cylindrical portion 12 that can be moved up and down by a handle 11 and can be rotated at any height position. A horizontal rotation arm 13 is attached above this outer cylinder portion 12.

Further, a support arm 14 is connected to the tip of the horizontal rotation arm 13 so as to be horizontally rotatable, and a support mechanism 17 using a parallel link 16 with a counterweight 15 is further attached to the tip of the support arm 14. It is installed so that it can rotate horizontally. A surgical microscope 18 as a "medical device" is further attached to this support mechanism 17. Therefore, the surgical microscope 18, which has been roughly aligned by the drawer rotation and vertical movement of the horizontal rotation arm 13, can be moved in the front-rear direction (extension/contraction direction), vertical direction,
More accurate positioning can be performed in all directions, including the left-right direction and rotational direction. Moreover, since the weight balance is maintained by the counterweight, the surgical microscope appears to be floating in a zero-gravity space, and no great force is required to move the surgical microscope.

Next, the operation of using this retractable stand device will be explained.

First, when not in use, the horizontal rotation arm 13 is rotated toward the inside of the storage box 6, and the support arm 14 and the support mechanism 17 are alternately rotated so as to fold each other. Then, the horizontal rotation arm 13,
Since the support arm 14, support mechanism 17, and surgical microscope 18 are all housed in the storage box 6 (see the imaginary line in Figure 1), the storage box 6 will be sealed when the lid 7 is attached next. Ru. After the sealing is completed, the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 8 of the storage box 6 is turned on to turn the storage box 6 into a sterilization box. Since the surgical microscope 18 and the like are stored in the sealed storage box 6, dust and dirt do not adhere to them, and they are sterilized because they are exposed to ultraviolet rays emitted from the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 8.

For the next use, first remove the lid 7, horizontally rotate the horizontal rotation arm 13, and pull it out to the operating table 2. At this time, check the condition of the patient (whether it is lying down or sitting). ), operate the handle 11 and move the horizontal rotation arm 13 (
Adjust the vertical position of the outer cylinder part 12). Then, the support arm 14 and the support mechanism 17 are also horizontally rotated, and the surgical microscope 18 is positioned on the affected area (the head in this embodiment) from a direction that does not interfere with the surgeon's surgical work (see Fig. 1).
. The operator can perform precision surgery while observing the affected area under magnification using the surgical microscope 18.

In the above explanation, an example was shown in which one ultraviolet lamp 8 was provided as an internal sterilization means, but depending on the case, if there is only one ultraviolet lamp 8, there may be places that are shaded and cannot be sterilized. It is even better if a plurality of UV rays are provided at appropriate positions in the storage box 6 and the horizontal rotating arm 13, the surgical microscope 18, etc. are irradiated with ultraviolet light over the entire surface without shadows.

In addition, although an example is shown in which the storage box 6 is provided on the side wall 3 corresponding to the patient's head side, in order to secure movement space for the operator when using the patient's head, the side wall corresponding to the left side of the patient A storage box 6 may be provided in the section 3.

<Effects of the Invention> The storage type stand device for medical equipment according to the present invention has the content as described above, and has a structure in which the medical equipment is mounted horizontally on a column fixed to a storage box on the side wall of the operating room. Since the rotating arm is provided to be able to move up and down, it is possible to omit the heavy and large base, which has conventionally been a factor in increasing the size of the stand device, and the size of the stand device can be reduced.

Moreover, when not in use, it can be stored in a storage box on the side wall of the operating room, so it does not get in the way and looks good.

Further, since the storage box is of a closed type and is equipped with internal sterilization means, the stand device and medical equipment can be sterilized during storage, which is preferable from a sanitary standpoint.
