Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a packaging paper for sutures and a method of using the same.

[Conventional technology]

Surgical nailed sutures are generally sold by securing them to a mount to prevent the threads from getting tangled or damaging the needle tips during transportation or storage, and then enclosing them in an outer bag made of aluminum foil or other material. It is true. However, in conventional packaging methods, the backing paper stored in the outer bag is not particularly fixed, so it may move within the bag before the outer bag is heat-sealed and seal it, interfering with the sealing process. be. When this often happens, the product is sold with an incomplete seal.
There is also a risk of deterioration of the suture thread and bacterial contamination.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

An object of the present invention is to provide a mount that can be easily temporarily fixed inside an outer bag when it is stored in the outer bag. Another object is to provide a method for packaging sutures using such a mount.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a rectangular suture retaining panel, a needle retaining panel bendably connected along one long side of the suture retaining panel, and a needle retaining panel that is foldably connected along one long side of the suture retaining panel. a needle cover panel foldably connected to a side of the retention panel opposite the suture retention panel connection side; a suture cover panel foldably connected along a short side of the suture retention panel; In a suture packaging mount comprising a side label and a side panel that are foldably connected to the side opposite to the needle holding panel connection side of the suture holding panel, the side label has an upper end that is bendable. A mount for suture packaging is characterized in that a fold line is provided and the upper end portion is formed to be located above the upper side of the suture holding panel.Using the mount of the present invention, To package the suture, wrap the suture in a backing paper, store it in an outer bag with one end opened, then fold the outer bag and side label at the fold line of the side label, and insert the suture into the outer bag. Temporarily fix the backing paper so that it does not move, and then seal the open end of the outer bag.

[For production].

In the present invention, when the side label is folded together with the outer bag, since the outer bag is made of aluminum foil or the like, the folded state is maintained without returning to its original state. As a result, the mount is held and fixed to the outer bag at the folded portion.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a developed view of an embodiment of the suture packaging mount of the present invention. The mount is basically the suture holding panel 1
a needle retaining panel 2 foldably connected thereto; a needle cover panel 3 foldably connected to the needle retaining panel; and a needle cover panel 3 foldably connected along a short side of the suture retaining panel. a suture cover panel 4;
It is comprised of a side label 5 and a side panel 6 which are bendably connected to the long side of the suture thread holding panel opposite to the side where the needle holding panel is connected. The connecting parts of each panel are perforated at fold lines 16, 17, etc. to make it easier to fold.
18 and 19 are attached, and the dying line 16 is preferably folded into a gusset as shown in the figure in order to secure a suture storage space. Furthermore, a folding line 20, which is one of the features of the present invention, is provided in the upper part of the side label 5 in the horizontal direction, so that the upper end can be bent. The fold line 20 is suitably a perforation. The needle holding panel 2 has a slit 9 for inserting and holding the needle.
The needle is inserted from the back side of the figure. The needle holding panel is further provided with a recess 11 for threading.

The procedure for packaging sutures using this mount is shown in Figures 2 and subsequent figures. As shown in FIG. 2, first, the needle 22 is inserted into the slit 9 from the back side of the drawing, the thread is passed through the recess 11, and the thread is wound onto the suture holding panel 1. The suture holding panel 1 is provided with an oval open lower part 7 and circular openings 8, 8 (see Figure 1), and four bins 21 for winding sutures around these openings. is inserted, protrudes from the panel surface, and is used to wrap the suture as shown. The opening lower part 7 has an oval shape in order to move the bottle and adjust the winding length of the suture thread. Once the suture thread has been wrapped around the bottle 21,
As shown in FIG. 3, needle cover panel 3 and suture cover panel 4 are folded and pin 21 is removed. The needle cover panel may be folded up as soon as the needle is inserted into the slit 9. Even if the needle cover panel 3 is folded, when you release your finger, it will open due to the restoring force of the folded part. Therefore, in the example shown in the figure, a slit 10 is provided in the needle holding panel, and a protrusion 18 is provided in the needle cover panel, so that when the needle cover panel 3 is folded, it will open. The protrusion 18 is inserted into the slit 10 and fixed. The notches 12 and 14 are also provided for the same purpose, and their positions are slightly shifted when the needle cover panel is folded.If the notches are hooked together, the needle cover panel will remain in the folded state. Fixed. Next, the needle holding panel 2, side label 5, and side panel 6 are folded (FIG. 4) and placed in an outer bag 23 made of aluminum foil or the like (FIG. 5). The outer bag is opened at one end and sealed at the other end. Next, when the outer bag and the mount are folded together forward or backward at the position shown by line A-A in Figure 5, which corresponds to the position of the fold line 20 of the mount, the mount will not move easily inside the outer bag. It is temporarily fixed like this.

FIG. 6 shows a side view of this state. Since the mount does not move freely within the outer bag, it does not move to a position that would interfere with sealing when sealing the end 24 of the bag, and sealing can be performed reliably. After the ends are sealed, the folds may be undone.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, the mount placed in the outer bag is fixed so that it does not move freely, so it does not interfere with the sealing.
The outer bag can be reliably sealed.
