Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial application]

 The present invention relates to an intradermal needle storage container capable of storing an intradermal needle used for acupuncture in Oriental medicine in a sterilized state. Here, the intradermal needle is composed of a needle tip portion and a needle shaft portion, and is classified into a ring intracutaneous needle and a flat shaft intradermal needle according to the shape of the needle handle portion. It is used by inserting it in a direction almost parallel to the skin surface.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 An intradermal needle pierces an extremely shallow portion of the skin to obtain irritation, and its shape is composed of a needle tip portion that is pierced subcutaneously and a needle shaft portion that is continuous with this. As a conventional storage method, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 7 and the bottom view of FIG. 8, one intradermal needle 23 is stored in each recess 22 of the plastic case 21, and the needle 23 is placed on top of it. There is a so-called blister package in which a sterilizing gas permeable sheet 24 is fixed by heat sealing.

As shown in FIG. 9, a plurality of them are connected in a separable state. When using, peel off the peel tab 24a of the sheet 24 by pulling it in the direction of the arrow to peel off, pick up the intradermal needle 23 with tweezers or the like, and if necessary, pinch it in the direction that is easy to perform and pierce it subcutaneously. ..

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional storage method, since the storage container is small and hard to see, and since it is stored one by one, there is a disadvantage that a user who uses many containers is troublesome to take out. It was In addition, since the storage container is small and difficult to handle, there is a disadvantage that the recess 22 is crushed to be a projection when peeling off, and the sterilized intradermal needle 23 is skipped at that time.

There is also a disadvantage that it is difficult to pinch the intradermal needle 23 in the direction of the operation even if it is pinched with tweezers without flying. Further, in the manufacturing process, since the intradermal needles 23 are light, they are affected by static electricity, which makes it difficult to arrange the needles one by one in the recesses 22 of the case, which is a predetermined position. At this time, since the intracutaneous needle 23 is simply placed in the concave portion 22, if it is misaligned and protrudes from the concave portion 22, the important intradermal needle 23 is crushed at the time of heat sealing, and the yield is deteriorated.

In view of the conventional problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an intradermal needle storage container that is easy to handle and has a good yield.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a container for accommodating a plurality of intradermal needles, each of which has a needle tip portion and a needle handle portion connected in series with the needle tip portion, the needle tip portion being pierced. A needle tip portion holding member, a space for accommodating the needle tip portion holding member, a space for locating the needle handle portion on an upper side thereof, a case having an opening portion on the upper side of the space, and the opening portion are covered. A sterilizing gas-permeable lid member.

[0008]

[Action]

 According to the above configuration, the needle tip holding member housed in the case pierces the needle tip of the intradermal needle to hold the intradermal needle, and the needle handle portion is positioned in the space above it. it can. Further, since the opening is covered with the sterilizing gas permeable lid member, sterilization can be performed in a state where a plurality of intradermal needles are stored.

[0009]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. First, the intradermal needle will be described. As shown in the plan view of FIG. 5 and the front view of FIG. 6, for example, a ring intracutaneous needle (hereinafter, simply referred to as an intracutaneous needle) 1 has a needle tip portion 2 that is subcutaneously inserted, And a needle handle portion 3 wound in a coil.

Here, the wire diameter of the intradermal needle 1 is 0.12 to 0.18 mm, the length of the needle tip portion is 3.0 to 15.0 mm, and the diameter of the needle handle portion is 1.5 to 3.0 mm. Next, the storage container according to the present invention will be described. The storage container has a plastic case 4 and a sterilizing gas-permeable sheet-like lid member 5 as shown in its sectional view in FIG. 1 and its plan view in FIG.

As shown in a plan view of FIG. 3 and a front view of FIG. 4, the case 4 has a first space 6 for accommodating the needle tip portion holding member and a needle handle portion in order from the bottom side. A second space 7 as a space is provided, a step portion 8 is formed between the first space 6 and the second space 7, and a flange is formed in the opening portion 9 formed on the side opposite to the first space of the second space. Ten are provided. The lid member 5 is permeable to sterilizing gas, and the periphery of the lid member 5 is heat-sealed to the flange 10 and peeled off in the direction of the arrow before use. A peel tab 11 is formed so as to project from the flange 10.

Further, the storage container is provided with absorbent cotton 12 as a needle tip portion holding member filled in the first space 6 and a partition sheet 13 such as a non-woven fabric having its periphery fixed to the step portion 8. The absorbent cotton 12 holds the needle tip portion 2, and the partition sheet 13 holds the absorbent cotton 12 in the first space 6 and the fibers of the absorbent cotton 12 come out of the first space 6, for example, the lid member 5 When heat-sealing, the flange 10 is prevented from impairing the sealing property and from damaging the surrounding sanitary environment from which dust and the like are removed.

At the time of manufacture, a plastic film or sheet for a case is formed with a stepped portion 8 to form a concave portion that forms a first space 6 and a second space 7 by heating or vacuum forming. Then, the first space 6 is filled with absorbent cotton 12, and the partition sheet 13 is fixed to the step portion 8 by heat sealing the circumference thereof.

Next, the partition sheet 13 is penetrated, and the intradermal needle 1 is stabbed into the absorbent cotton 12 until the lower part of the needle handle 3 comes into contact with the partition sheet 13. If the intradermal needle 1 is pierced obliquely, the needle handle portion 3 can prevent the intradermal needle 1 from rotating, which makes it easier to handle when taking it out. Here, by setting the number of intradermal needles 1 to a large number, for example, 10 to 50 per case, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of taking out the needle for a large number of users.

Further, next, the lid member 5 is placed, and the peel tab 11 is left, and the periphery thereof is heat-sealed, and the peel member 11 is fixed to the flange 10. Finally, gas sterilize by the usual method using ethylene oxide gas. At the time of treatment, the tab 11 is picked up and the lid member is peeled off, so that the tab is immediately ready for use.

Since the partition sheet 13 has a hole formed by piercing the intradermal needle 1, the sterilizing gas can be introduced into the first space 6 from this, and therefore a material having no air permeability may be used. The needle tip holding member may be a continuous foam sponge-like substance. In this case, the partition sheet becomes unnecessary by fixing this to the case with a double-sided tape or a locking portion formed by unevenness formed on the case.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, since a plurality of intradermal needles 1 are stored in one case, when using a large amount, it is much easier to take out than in individual packaging. In addition, the storage container is larger than the conventional product, which makes it easier to handle, and avoids the inconvenience of crushing the recess and taking out the intradermal needle when taking out, as in the conventional case. ..

Further, since the intradermal needle is stored without rotating, it is easy to pick when picking with tweezers or the like.

[0019]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, a large number of intradermal needles can be stored in one case and the intradermal needles are stored without being entangled with each other. There is no need to take it out, and it is possible to obtain an effect that it is not troublesome.

Further, since the case itself is larger than the conventional case, it is easy to handle, and it is possible to avoid the mistaken taking-out which is apt to occur, such as crushing the concave portion of the case. Furthermore, since the needle shaft of the intradermal needle projects into the space above the needle tip holding member, it is easy to pinch it with tweezers, etc. Since the rotation of the needle can be prevented, it is possible to make it easier to pick.
