[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is an instrument stand (commonly known as This is related to the forceps stand.

[Prior Art] An instrument stand (forceps stand) is a device for holding up small medical instruments (mainly forceps and tweezers, hereinafter referred to as forceps). ) is a cylindrical member made of

FIG. 7 shows a state in which the forceps 2 are housed in a conventional forceps stand 1 and erected.

When the forceps are stored in the conventional forceps stand 1 for use, the sterile packaging bag 3 is placed over it as shown by the arrow a, and the entrance of the sterile packaging bag 3 is squeezed as shown in FIG. It is brought into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical part of the stand 1 and fixed by pasting the tape 4.

Sterilizer (not shown) in the state shown in Figure 8 above.
Sterilization (e.g. steam sterilization) is performed by placing the
The sterilized forceps stand is transported to an operating room or the like in the state shown in FIG. 8, the sterilized packaging bag 3 is removed, and it is ready for use.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The forceps stand 1 of the conventional example is made of metal and has a certain shape, and therefore requires a large space when stored alone.
In particular, since a pedestal is provided at the bottom, they cannot be stacked together like ordinary glass tops, so they require a large amount of space.

Furthermore, when the forceps are covered with a sterilization packaging bag 3 and placed in the sterilizer as shown in FIG. 8, each forceps stand takes up a large space, which reduces the storage capacity (the number of pieces accommodated) of the sterilizer.

When the forceps holder is taken out of the sterilizer in the state shown in Figure 8 and transported to an operating room, clinic, or hospital ward by placing it on a wagon, each forceps holder takes up a large amount of space and is heavy. This reduces transportation efficiency.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the operation of covering and sealing the sterile packaging bag requires considerable skill and a great deal of effort.

Conventional metal forceps holders are made with the idea that they can be used repeatedly, but if you try to use them repeatedly, you have to clean and store them after each use, which requires a lot of cleaning. You have to spend time and effort.

Furthermore, if a forceps holder with patient's blood or pus adhering to it is immediately cleaned as it is, there is a risk of in-hospital infection for the cleaning worker, and the cost of the cleaning operation is further increased.

From this point of view, it is desired to develop and supply disposable forceps holders.

This invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances; it does not require a large space for storage, sterilization, and transportation, is easy to seal with a sterile packaging bag, and is lightweight and easy to transport. , the purpose of which is to provide a disposable instrument stand (forceps stand).

[Means for Solving the Problems] To give an overview of the forceps holder of the present invention created to achieve the above purpose, the folding forceps holder is folded (or in a similar state). It is constructed so that it can be stored in a sterile packaging bag and used as a forceps holder by taking it out from the sterilizing packaging bag and assembling it.

In order to enable the above-mentioned folding and assembly, the forceps holder of the present invention is composed of a foldable rectangular cylindrical member and a foldable pedestal.

To make folding and assembly possible, a known technique may be applied to cover the steps of cutting → bending → pasting by using cardboard or a synthetic resin sheet, or by using a synthetic resin material. It can also be seamlessly molded into one piece.

[Function] The forceps stand configured as described above is stored in a sterile packaging bag in a folded state.
It is not bulky and is convenient to store.

When forceps are inserted into the mouth of the folded forceps holder, the forceps will be half expanded and half folded.
When placed in a sterilizer or placed on a wagon in this state, the individual forceps holders do not take up much space.

When the forceps are inserted into the mouth of the forceps stand (folded) stored in the sterile packaging bag and the opening of the sterile packaging bag is sealed, the forceps stand and the forceps are inserted into the sterile packaging bag. sealed inside. In this way, the sealing operation is easy.

Since it is not made of metal, it is lightweight and convenient to transport.

Furthermore, since it is not made of metal, it is inexpensive and can be disposable. Therefore, cleaning after use is not required.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the disposable instrument stand (forceps stand) of the present invention.

A folding forceps stand 5, which will be described later with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, is housed in the sterile packaging bag 4.

FIG. 2 shows the folding forceps stand 5 in a three-dimensionally assembled state, and FIG. 3 shows it in a folded state.

As shown in Figure 2, this folding forceps stand 5
is a hexagonal cylindrical part 5a made of cardboard with a thickness of 0.5 mm.
and a pedestal 5b made of the same type of cardboard.

The above hexagonal cylindrical part 5a is constructed symmetrically with respect to a vertical plane including the line a-b, and when a force in the direction of arrows _P1 - _P1 ' is applied in a direction perpendicular to the above-mentioned plane of symmetry, arrows a and b
It stretches in the direction and folds into a flat plate.

The pedestal 5b can be set in any suitable shape, but since it is a pedestal, its maximum diameter needs to be larger than the diameter of the hexagonal cylindrical portion 5a.

The above-mentioned pedestal 5b has a fold line along the line c-d shown in the figure, and when a force is applied in the direction of arrow P ₂ , it bends.
The hexagonal cylindrical portion 5 is bent in the shape of the letter , and further folded as shown in FIG.
It has a shape that is sandwiched inside a.

In order to enable the above-mentioned folding operation, the hexagonal cylindrical portion 5a and the base 5b of this example are rotatably joined along the adhesive line 5c shown in bold in FIG. 2. The adhesive line 5c in this embodiment is formed by the fold line of the glue margin provided at the lower end of the hexagonal cylindrical portion 5a, and is therefore rotatable.

Store this forceps holder in the state shown in FIG.

When using the forceps holder of this example shown in FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. ).

Then, as shown in FIG. 5, when forceps such as the forceps 2 and forceps 6 are inserted into the opening of the folding forceps stand 5, the folding forceps stand 5 becomes half folded and half expanded. In this state, the opening of the sterile packaging bag 4 is sealed.
