On the other hand, if it is thicker than this range, it will be too thick and the strength will be too great to follow the contraction of the container body 30. In addition, the water vapor absorbed when left to cool after sterilization is not released sufficiently and remains in the non-woven sheet 21 and becomes insufficiently dried. Therefore, the medical supplies storage container 10 is grasped together with the non-woven sheet 21 and lifted.

Description

医療用品類収納容器Medical supplies storage container
 本発明は、不織シートと粘着層とを積層したラベルが貼付され、高圧蒸気滅菌処理が施されている医療用品類収納容器に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a medical supplies storage container to which a label in which a nonwoven sheet and an adhesive layer are laminated is attached and subjected to high-pressure steam sterilization.
 プレフィルドシリンジや輸液のような医薬品、又は血液バッグやカテーテルのような医療機器等の医療用品類は、使用時まで清浄な無菌状態にしておかねばならない。そこで、それら医療用品類は、樹脂製収納容器に収納されてオートクレーブ内で高圧蒸気滅菌処理のような滅菌処理が、予め施される。収納容器は、収納された医療用品類の品名や製造者名や注意事項等の情報を使用者に知らせる樹脂製ラベルが、粘着層を介して貼付されている。 医 薬 品 Medicines such as prefilled syringes and infusions, and medical supplies such as blood bags and catheters must be kept clean and sterile until use. Therefore, these medical supplies are stored in a resin container and sterilized in advance such as high-pressure steam sterilization in an autoclave. The storage container is affixed with a resin label via an adhesive layer informing the user of information such as the name of the medical supplies stored, the name of the manufacturer, and precautions.
 高圧蒸気滅菌時に、高圧蒸気は、樹脂製のラベルの収縮や樹脂製の容器の膨張を引き起こす。その後の冷却時に、容器の収縮を引き起こす。そのときラベルは、収納容器の膨張・収縮に追従できなくなり、皺を生じラベル上の情報を読み取り不能にしたり、そこから高圧蒸気が浸入して剥げたりする。 During high-pressure steam sterilization, high-pressure steam causes shrinkage of resin labels and expansion of resin containers. Upon subsequent cooling, the container will shrink. At that time, the label becomes unable to follow the expansion and contraction of the storage container, and a wrinkle is generated, making it impossible to read the information on the label, and high-pressure steam enters from there and peels off.
 ラベルの熱収縮を低減するため、特許文献1に、シート状のラベル本体の表面に医療機器情報が表示されており、熱変形によって伸縮するラベル本体に加わる伸縮力を分散させる手段例えばスリットがラベル本体に設けられ、滅菌可能な医療機器にラベル本体の裏面が貼付される医療機器用ラベルが、開示されている。このラベルは、スリットの幅が、ラベルの収縮に応じて変化することにより、ラベルでの皺の発生や、医療機器からのラベルの剥離を、防止している。ラベルにスリットを設けるのは面倒であり製造コストの高騰を招く上、ラベルに付された文字やバーコード等の情報がスリットで分断されて読み取り難い。また、ラベルの面積を大きくすると、伸縮の影響が大きくなるので、その面積に応じて、スリットを多数設けなければならず、製造コストが一層嵩む上、文字等の分断箇所が増大し、そこに付された情報が一層読み取り難くなる。 In order to reduce the thermal shrinkage of the label, in Patent Document 1, medical device information is displayed on the surface of the sheet-like label body, and means for dispersing the stretching force applied to the label body that expands and contracts due to thermal deformation, for example, a slit is a label. A medical device label is disclosed in which a back surface of a label main body is attached to a sterilizable medical device provided on the main body. In this label, the width of the slit changes according to the contraction of the label, thereby preventing wrinkles on the label and peeling of the label from the medical device. It is troublesome to provide a slit in the label, resulting in an increase in manufacturing cost, and information such as characters and barcodes attached to the label is divided by the slit and is difficult to read. In addition, if the area of the label is increased, the influence of expansion and contraction increases, so that a large number of slits must be provided in accordance with the area, and the manufacturing cost increases further, and the number of divided parts such as letters increases. The attached information becomes more difficult to read.

 以下、本発明を実施するための形態を詳細に説明するが、本発明の範囲はこれらの形態に限定されるものではない。 Hereinafter, modes for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to these modes.
 本発明の医療用品類収納容器10の一形態の斜視図を、図1に示す。医療用品類収納容器10は、上面が開口した樹脂製の容器本体30と、これの開口部33内寸より幾分小さい外寸で樹脂製の入れ子板40と、開口部33を覆う不織布の保護膜60と、容器本体30に貼付されたラベル20とを有している。 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the medical supplies storage container 10 of the present invention. The medical supplies storage container 10 includes a resin container main body 30 having an upper surface opened, a resin nesting plate 40 having an outer dimension somewhat smaller than the inner dimension of the opening 33, and protection of the nonwoven fabric covering the opening 33. The film 60 and the label 20 attached to the container body 30 are included.
 容器本体30は、下端に底部31とその周囲で上端に向かって延びる連続した周壁部32とがつながり、周壁部32上端で囲まれて開口部33をなしている略直方体である。底部31の面積は、周壁部32が、窄まっていることにより、開口部33の面積よりも狭くなっている。周壁部32の外壁面は、ラベル20を密着して貼り付け易いように平滑である。鍔部34は、開口部33の周縁から延び、これを取り囲んでいる。保護膜60は、鍔部34に貼付されることにより、開口部33を覆って、容器本体30を密閉している。 The container body 30 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped having a bottom 31 at the lower end and a continuous peripheral wall 32 extending toward the upper end around the bottom 31 and surrounded by the upper end of the peripheral wall 32 to form an opening 33. The area of the bottom 31 is narrower than the area of the opening 33 because the peripheral wall 32 is narrowed. The outer wall surface of the peripheral wall portion 32 is smooth so that the label 20 can be adhered and attached easily. The flange 34 extends from the periphery of the opening 33 and surrounds it. The protective film 60 is affixed to the collar 34 to cover the opening 33 and seal the container body 30.
 入れ子板40は、外形が略矩形であって、これを貫通する複数の受け筒41が並べられている。受け筒41は、その上端にフランジ51を係止して、プレフィラブルシリンジ50を懸け吊ることにより収納するものである。注射筒52は、その先端に固着された注射針を保護するためのキャップ53が嵌められている。 The nesting plate 40 has a substantially rectangular outer shape, and a plurality of receiving tubes 41 penetrating therethrough are arranged. The receiving tube 41 holds the flange 51 at its upper end and suspends and suspends the prefillable syringe 50. The syringe barrel 52 is fitted with a cap 53 for protecting the injection needle fixed to the tip thereof.
 入れ子板40は、容器本体30が中程で窄まることにより周壁部32の内壁面から突き出して周設されている棚35に、載置されている。 The nesting plate 40 is placed on a shelf 35 that protrudes from the inner wall surface of the peripheral wall portion 32 when the container body 30 is narrowed in the middle.
 周壁部32の外壁面の少なくとも一面に、角が円弧をなした略矩形のラベル20が貼付されている。図1中、多方向から識別できるように対向する二面の外壁面に夫々ラベル20が貼付された例を示している。図2に、周壁部32の外壁面にラベル20が貼付された状態の模式部分拡大断面図を示す。ラベル20は、医療用品類収納容器10やこれに収納されている医療用品類についての情報が記載されていることにより、医療用品類収納容器10の取扱者等にこれらの情報を表示するものである。ラベル20は、不織シート21と、その下面に、粘着剤の塗布によって形成された粘着層22とが積層されることにより、構成されている。 A substantially rectangular label 20 having a circular arc is attached to at least one of the outer wall surfaces of the peripheral wall portion 32. In FIG. 1, an example is shown in which labels 20 are respectively attached to two opposing outer wall surfaces so that they can be identified from multiple directions. FIG. 2 is a schematic partial enlarged cross-sectional view showing a state where the label 20 is attached to the outer wall surface of the peripheral wall portion 32. The label 20 displays information about the medical supplies storage container 10 and the medical supplies stored therein by displaying information about the medical supplies storage container 10 and the medical supplies stored therein. is there. The label 20 is configured by laminating a non-woven sheet 21 and an adhesive layer 22 formed on the lower surface thereof by application of an adhesive.
 不織シート21は、セルロース繊維からなるパルプを主成分とする上質紙である。上質紙を構成するセルロース繊維同士は、マイクロメーターオーダーの隙間を有しつつ、絡まり合って、不織でランダムな微細多孔を有する微細多孔質を形成している。不織シート21の上面は、ラミネート加工や顔料等の塗布がなされていないため、セルロース繊維が露出している。粘着層22は、不織シート21の下面に粘着剤が塗布されることによって形成されている。この粘着剤は、不織シート21の表面に形成されている微細多孔に入り込んで密着しているので、不織シート21と粘着層22との界面で界面剥離を生じさせない。 The nonwoven sheet 21 is a high-quality paper mainly composed of pulp made of cellulose fibers. The cellulose fibers constituting the fine paper are entangled with each other while having a gap on the order of micrometers, and form a fine porous material having non-woven and random fine porosity. Since the upper surface of the non-woven sheet 21 is not laminated or coated with a pigment or the like, the cellulose fibers are exposed. The adhesive layer 22 is formed by applying an adhesive to the lower surface of the nonwoven sheet 21. This pressure-sensitive adhesive penetrates and adheres to the fine pores formed on the surface of the non-woven sheet 21, so that no interfacial peeling occurs at the interface between the non-woven sheet 21 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22.
 粘着層22を構成する粘着剤は、溶剤等を使用せず、加熱に拠らずに、常温で、わずかな圧力を加えるだけで速やかにラベル20を被着体に貼付でき、かつ貼付された後に、被着体から容易に剥離しないものでなければならない。そのため、感圧型のアクリル系粘着剤が適している。アクリル系粘着剤は、耐水性及び耐熱性に優れるので高圧蒸気滅菌処理の高圧蒸気雰囲気下でも劣化し難く、樹脂である周壁部32との濡れ性が良好であるため、確りと貼り付き、ラベル20を容易に剥離させない。アクリル系粘着剤の具体例として、ポリ(メタ)アクリル酸エステルを主成分とするものが挙げられる。ポリ(メタ)アクリル酸エステルとしては、アクリル酸メチル、アクリル酸エチル、アクリル酸プロピル、アクリル酸ブチル、アクリル酸-2-エチルヘキシル、メタクリル酸メチル、メタクリル酸エチル、メタクリル酸プロピル、メタクリル酸ブチルのような(メタ)アクリル酸アルキルエステルから選ばれる単量体を重合させたホモポリマー、又はそれらの何れかを共重合させたコポリマーを挙げることができる。また、これらの単量体の少なくとも何れかと、アクリル酸-2-ヒドロキシエチル、アクリル酸-2-ヒドロキシプロピル、アクリル酸-3-ヒドロキシプロピル、アクリル酸-3-ヒドロキシブチル、アクリル酸-4-ヒドロキシブチル、メタクリル酸-2-ヒドロキシエチル、メタクリル酸-2-ヒドロキシプロピル、メタクリル酸-3-ヒドロキシプロピル、メタクリル酸-3-ヒドロキシブチル、メタクリル酸-4-ヒドロキシブチルのような水酸基含有(メタ)アクリル酸アルキルエステル;アクリル酸、メタクリル酸のような(メタ)アクリル酸;酢酸ビニル、プロピオン酸ビニルのようなビニルエステル;アクリロニトリル、メタクリロニトリルのようなシアノ基含有化合物;アクリルアミドのようなアミド基含有化合物;スチレン、ビニルピリジンのような芳香族化合物から選ばれる少なくとも一種の単量体とのコポリマーを挙げることができる。 The pressure-sensitive adhesive composing the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 can be quickly and affixed to the adherend by applying a slight pressure at room temperature without using a solvent or the like and without depending on heating. Later, it must not easily peel off from the adherend. Therefore, a pressure-sensitive acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is suitable. Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is excellent in water resistance and heat resistance, so it is difficult to deteriorate even in a high-pressure steam atmosphere of high-pressure steam sterilization, and has good wettability with the peripheral wall portion 32, which is a resin. 20 is not easily peeled off. Specific examples of the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive include those having poly (meth) acrylic acid ester as a main component. Examples of poly (meth) acrylate esters include methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, propyl methacrylate, and butyl methacrylate. Examples thereof include a homopolymer obtained by polymerizing a monomer selected from (meth) acrylic acid alkyl esters, and a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing any of them. In addition, at least one of these monomers and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate, 3-hydroxypropyl acrylate, 3-hydroxybutyl acrylate, 4-hydroxy acrylate Hydroxyl-containing (meth) acrylic such as butyl, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate, 3-hydroxypropyl methacrylate, 3-hydroxybutyl methacrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl methacrylate Acid alkyl esters; (meth) acrylic acids such as acrylic acid and methacrylic acid; vinyl esters such as vinyl acetate and vinyl propionate; cyano group-containing compounds such as acrylonitrile and methacrylonitrile; amide groups such as acrylamide Compound; Ren, mention may be made of at least one copolymer of monomers selected from aromatic compounds such as vinyl pyridine.
 高圧蒸気滅菌処理時、高圧水蒸気は、セルロース繊維で形成する微細多孔に吸収されて、セルロース繊維間の隙間に入り込みセルロース繊維同士の絡まり合いを解し、不織シート21をふやけさせ伸縮可能にさせる。粘着層22は、高圧蒸気雰囲気下、硬化した状態から僅かに軟化した状態へと変化する。容器本体30は、高圧蒸気雰囲気下で膨張する。不織シート21は、容器本体30の膨張に追従してセルロース繊維同士の絡まり合いが疎になり柔軟に伸長する。高圧水蒸気は、不織シート21と粘着層22の間に入り込み易いが、不織シート21の軟化に伴い、粘着層22の粘着力により部分的にさえ剥離されない。また、粘着層22は、高温時の僅かな軟化によって、容器本体30の膨張度合と、不織シート21の伸長度合との差を緩衝している。その結果、高圧水蒸気雰囲気下でもラベル20は、容器本体30から剥離しない。しかも、不織シート21表面の皺を生じさせない。 During the high-pressure steam sterilization treatment, the high-pressure steam is absorbed in the fine pores formed by the cellulose fibers, enters the gaps between the cellulose fibers, breaks up the entanglement of the cellulose fibers, and the nonwoven sheet 21 is inflated to be stretchable. . The adhesive layer 22 changes from a cured state to a slightly softened state in a high-pressure steam atmosphere. The container body 30 expands in a high-pressure steam atmosphere. The non-woven sheet 21 follows the expansion of the container body 30, and the entanglement between the cellulose fibers becomes sparse, so that the non-woven sheet 21 extends flexibly. High-pressure steam easily enters between the nonwoven sheet 21 and the adhesive layer 22, but is not even partially peeled by the adhesive force of the adhesive layer 22 as the nonwoven sheet 21 softens. Moreover, the adhesion layer 22 buffers the difference between the degree of expansion of the container body 30 and the degree of elongation of the nonwoven sheet 21 by slight softening at high temperatures. As a result, the label 20 does not peel from the container body 30 even under a high-pressure steam atmosphere. Moreover, wrinkles on the surface of the nonwoven sheet 21 are not generated.
 滅菌処理が終了すると、オートクレーブ内が冷却され、その後、乾燥される。この冷却によって、容器本体30は、収縮し、容器本体30の各部位での形状・厚さ等の違いに基づく収縮度合の相違により、変形を生じることがある。不織シート21は、容器本体30の収縮に追従し、セルロース繊維同士が密に絡まり合うように収縮する。粘着層22は徐々に硬化し、不織シート21に密着した状態で収縮する。その結果ラベル20は、不織シート21と粘着層22とが容器本体30に密着していない場合に比較して、全体が略均等に収縮する。不織シート21と粘着層22との間に入り込んだ水蒸気は、セルロース繊維の形成する微細多孔から放出されるので、残留して粘着層22を部分的に剥離させたり、不織シート21をふやけたままにさせたりしない。また、不織シート21は、冷却、それに引続く乾燥によって、セルロース繊維間の隙間が小さく密になる。その結果、ラベル20は、容器本体30に密着された状態を維持しつつ、変形に合わせて収縮するので、皺が発生したり、容器本体30から剥離したりすることがない。 When sterilization is completed, the inside of the autoclave is cooled and then dried. Due to this cooling, the container body 30 contracts, and deformation may occur due to a difference in the degree of contraction based on a difference in shape, thickness, etc., at each part of the container body 30. The nonwoven sheet 21 follows the contraction of the container body 30 and contracts so that the cellulose fibers are intertwined closely. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 is gradually cured and contracts while being in close contact with the nonwoven sheet 21. As a result, the label 20 contracts substantially uniformly as compared with the case where the nonwoven sheet 21 and the adhesive layer 22 are not in close contact with the container body 30. The water vapor that has entered between the non-woven sheet 21 and the adhesive layer 22 is released from the fine pores formed by the cellulose fibers, so that it remains and partially peels off the adhesive layer 22 or softens the non-woven sheet 21. Don't let it go. In addition, the non-woven sheet 21 has a small gap between the cellulose fibers due to cooling and subsequent drying. As a result, the label 20 shrinks in accordance with the deformation while maintaining the state of being in close contact with the container main body 30, so that wrinkles are not generated or peeled off from the container main body 30.
 このようにラベル20は、水蒸気を吸収・放出する構造であるため、容器本体30の膨張・収縮に追従し、高圧蒸気雰囲気に曝されても、不織シート21に皺が発生することがなく、不織シート21と粘着層22との界面や容器本体30から剥離しない。その結果、記載された文字やバーコードのような情報の読み取りに支障を生ずることがない。とりわけ、正確に記載されていなければならないバーコードに変形を生ずることがなく、読み取り機器によってスムーズに読み取ることができる。 Thus, since the label 20 has a structure that absorbs and releases water vapor, the nonwoven sheet 21 does not wrinkle even when exposed to a high-pressure steam atmosphere following the expansion / contraction of the container body 30. It does not peel from the interface between the nonwoven sheet 21 and the adhesive layer 22 or the container body 30. As a result, there is no problem in reading information such as written characters and bar codes. In particular, the barcode that must be accurately described does not deform, and can be read smoothly by a reading device.
 水蒸気を吸収した不織シート21は、オートクレーブ中、高圧蒸気雰囲気下で、一時的に強度が低下して破断し易くなるが、擦傷するような外力を受けないので、破断し得ない。不織シート21は、上面にセルロース繊維が露出しているので、滅菌処理時に吸収した水蒸気を、冷却時にスムーズに放出させることができ、強度が速やかに回復する。このため、医療用品類収納容器10を、オートクレーブから取り出す際、手作業や搬送用治具によって把持することにより、ラベル20に力が掛かっても容易に破断しない。 The nonwoven sheet 21 that has absorbed water vapor is temporarily weakened and easily broken in an autoclave under a high-pressure steam atmosphere, but cannot be broken because it does not receive an external force such as a scratch. Since the cellulose sheet is exposed on the upper surface of the non-woven sheet 21, water vapor absorbed during sterilization can be released smoothly during cooling, and the strength is quickly recovered. For this reason, when taking out the medical supplies storage container 10 from the autoclave, it is not easily broken even if a force is applied to the label 20 by gripping it manually or by a conveying jig.
 不織シート21の厚さは、20~200μmであると好ましく、20~100μmであるとより好ましく、50~100μmであると一層好ましい。厚さが、この範囲よりも薄いと、強度が不足して破断し易くなる。一方、この範囲よりも厚いと、厚すぎて強度が大きくなり過ぎ、容器本体30の収縮に追従できない。また、滅菌後に放冷する際に吸収した水蒸気が十分に放出されず、不織シート21内に残存し、乾燥不十分になるので、医療用品類収納容器10を不織シート21ごと掴んで持ち上げオートクレーブから取り出す際、不織シート21が、外力を受けて擦傷されて破断し易くなったり剥がれ易くなったりする。この厚さは、JIS P 8118に準拠した方法により求められる。 The thickness of the nonwoven sheet 21 is preferably 20 to 200 μm, more preferably 20 to 100 μm, and even more preferably 50 to 100 μm. If the thickness is less than this range, the strength is insufficient and the film tends to break. On the other hand, if it is thicker than this range, it will be too thick and the strength will be too great to follow the contraction of the container body 30. In addition, the water vapor absorbed when left to cool after sterilization is not released sufficiently and remains in the non-woven sheet 21 and becomes insufficiently dried. Therefore, the medical supplies storage container 10 is grasped together with the non-woven sheet 21 and lifted. When taking out from an autoclave, the nonwoven sheet 21 receives an external force and is rubbed and becomes easy to break or peel off easily. This thickness is calculated | required by the method based on JISP8118.
 紙が吸収可能な水蒸気の容量は、坪量に拠る。このため不織シート21は、上記の厚さの範囲内において、50~300g/mであることが好ましい。坪量が、この範囲内であると、水蒸気の吸収及び放出がスムーズに行われ、皺を生じさせ難くなる。この範囲未満であると、セルロース繊維の密度が低下して破断し易くなる。一方、この範囲を超えると、セルロース繊維同士が密着して、強度が大きくなり過ぎ、容器本体30の収縮に追従できない。この坪量は、JIS P 8124に準拠した方法により求められる。 The volume of water vapor that the paper can absorb depends on the basis weight. Therefore, the non-woven sheet 21 is preferably 50 to 300 g / m 2 within the above thickness range. When the basis weight is within this range, water vapor is smoothly absorbed and released, and it is difficult to cause wrinkles. If it is less than this range, the density of the cellulose fibers is lowered, and breakage easily occurs. On the other hand, when this range is exceeded, the cellulose fibers are in close contact with each other, the strength becomes too large, and the container body 30 cannot follow the contraction. This basis weight is calculated | required by the method based on JISP8124.
 ラベル20は、高圧蒸気滅菌処理が施されても皺が発生しないので、その面積を大きなものとすることができる。具体的に、図1に示す周壁部32の外壁面の一つが、縦5~10cm、横25~30cmである場合、ラベル20の寸法を、縦4~8cm、横20~25cmとすることができる。ラベル20の面積を大きくすることによって、医療用品類収納容器10から離れた場所からでも認識することができるように、大きな文字を多数記載できたり、空白スペースの部分を設けて、任意の事項を書き込んだりできる。 The label 20 does not generate wrinkles even if it is subjected to high-pressure steam sterilization, so that the area of the label 20 can be increased. Specifically, when one of the outer wall surfaces of the peripheral wall portion 32 shown in FIG. 1 is 5 to 10 cm long and 25 to 30 cm wide, the dimensions of the label 20 may be 4 to 8 cm long and 20 to 25 cm wide. it can. By enlarging the area of the label 20, a large number of large letters can be written or a blank space part can be provided so that it can be recognized even from a place away from the medical supplies storage container 10. You can write.
 ラベル20に、医療用品類名、製造者名、商品名、入数、使用期限、滅菌方法、留意事項、ロット番号、バーコード等、医療用品類収納容器10の取扱者にとって必要な情報が、印刷によって予め記載されている。上質紙は、インク吸収性がよいので、印刷や書込みをしても滲みが生じ難く、鉛筆、水性・油性インキペン等の筆記具や印刷に用いるインク等の種類を幅広く選択できる。 The label 20 contains information necessary for the medical product storage container 10 operator such as medical product name, manufacturer name, product name, quantity, expiration date, sterilization method, precautions, lot number, barcode, etc. Preprinted by printing. High-quality paper has good ink absorptivity, so it does not easily bleed even when printed or written, and a wide variety of types of writing instruments such as pencils and water-based / oil-based ink pens and inks used for printing can be selected.
 受け筒41すべてにプレフィラブルシリンジ50が挿入され懸け吊られた状態で、容器本体30の上面の周縁部に、開口部33を覆うように、水蒸気透過性かつ微粒子不透過性の樹脂シートからなる保護膜60が貼付又は熱融着されている。医療用品類収納容器10の内部は、密閉されている。保護膜60は、樹脂製で硬質の保護蓋であってもよい。なお、ここで言う微粒子とは、菌や細菌等を指す。 In a state where the prefillable syringe 50 is inserted and suspended in all the receiving cylinders 41, a water vapor permeable and fine particle impermeable resin sheet is formed on the periphery of the upper surface of the container body 30 so as to cover the opening 33. A protective film 60 is attached or heat-sealed. The inside of the medical supplies storage container 10 is sealed. The protective film 60 may be a resin-made hard protective lid. The fine particles referred to here refer to bacteria and bacteria.
 医療用品類収納容器10は、次のように製造される。先ずラベル20を製造する。不織シート21が巻かれたロール状の原反を、塗工機にセットする。このロールから不織シート21を引き出しながら、これの片面に粘性のあるアクリル樹脂系粘着剤を塗布する。そのままトンネル状の乾燥機へ送り、塗布した粘着剤に含まれる溶媒を蒸発させて粘着層22を形成する。粘着層22に剥離材(不図示)を貼り付けて巻き取り、再度ロール状とする。次いで、ラベル20に情報を印刷するための印刷機にセットし、このロールから不織シート21を引き出しながら、粘着層が形成されていない面に、文字やバーコード等、所望の情報を印刷する。必要な大きさに裁断してラベル20が完成する。 The medical supplies storage container 10 is manufactured as follows. First, the label 20 is manufactured. A roll-shaped raw material around which the non-woven sheet 21 is wound is set in a coating machine. While pulling the non-woven sheet 21 from this roll, a viscous acrylic resin adhesive is applied to one side thereof. As it is, it is sent to a tunnel-shaped dryer, and the solvent contained in the applied adhesive is evaporated to form the adhesive layer 22. A release material (not shown) is attached to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 and wound into a roll. Next, the label 20 is set in a printing machine for printing information, and the non-woven sheet 21 is pulled out from the roll, and desired information such as characters and barcodes is printed on the surface where the adhesive layer is not formed. . The label 20 is completed by cutting into a required size.
 次いで、容器本体30及び入れ子板40を射出成型によって成型する。医療用の熱可塑性樹脂製ペレットを、射出成形機に投入し、各々を一体成型する。図1に示すように医療用品類収納容器10を組み立て、受け筒41のすべてに、プレフィラブルシリンジ50を懸け吊った後、保護膜60を、開口部33を覆うように鍔部34に貼付して、その内部を密閉する。ラベル20を、粘着層22を覆って保護している剥離材を剥がし、周壁部32の対向する二面の外壁面に貼付する。内部が密閉された医療用品類収納容器10を、オートクレーブ中で高圧蒸気滅菌処理に供する。滅菌処理後、放冷し、オートクレーブから取り出して乾燥する。このとき、滅菌処理から乾燥処理に至る工程で、ラベル20は、容器本体30に確りと密着しており、皺を生じず、剥がれない。医療用品類収納容器10を、荷造りして注射筒に薬剤を充填する工場へ搬送する。 Next, the container body 30 and the nesting plate 40 are molded by injection molding. Medical thermoplastic resin pellets are put into an injection molding machine, and each is integrally molded. As shown in FIG. 1, the medical supplies storage container 10 is assembled, and the prefillable syringe 50 is suspended from all the receiving tubes 41, and then a protective film 60 is attached to the collar 34 so as to cover the opening 33. Then, the inside is sealed. The release material that covers and protects the adhesive layer 22 is peeled off and the label 20 is affixed to two opposing outer wall surfaces of the peripheral wall portion 32. The medical supplies storage container 10 whose inside is sealed is subjected to high-pressure steam sterilization in an autoclave. After sterilization, it is allowed to cool, taken out of the autoclave and dried. At this time, in the process from the sterilization process to the drying process, the label 20 is firmly attached to the container main body 30 and does not cause wrinkles and does not peel off. The medical supplies storage container 10 is packed and transported to a factory that fills the syringe with the medicine.
 医療用品類収納容器10は、次のように使用される。注射筒に薬剤を充填する工場に搬送された医療用品類収納容器10は、ラベル20の情報を元に薬剤充填工程が施される。医療用品類収納容器10は、クリーンルーム内で保護膜60が剥がされて、薬剤充填装置(不図示)の所定位置に載置される。薬剤供給ノズルから所望の薬剤が各プレフィラブルシリンジ50に、医療用品類収納容器10内で所定量充填される。薬剤は、注射筒52の基端開口部から挿入されたガスケットにより、注射筒52内に封入される。受け筒41の上端に係止されているプレフィラブルシリンジ50は、医療用品類収納容器10内から取り出され、ガスケットに押し子が装着された後、個別に滅菌された包装袋内に挿入封止される。医療用品類収納容器10は、ラベル20が貼付されたまま非感染性廃棄物として廃棄される。 The medical supplies storage container 10 is used as follows. The medical supplies storage container 10 transported to the factory for filling the syringe with the medicine is subjected to a medicine filling process based on the information on the label 20. The medical supplies storage container 10 is placed in a predetermined position of a medicine filling device (not shown) with the protective film 60 peeled off in a clean room. A desired amount of medicine is filled in each prefillable syringe 50 from the medicine supply nozzle in the medical supplies storage container 10. The medicine is sealed in the syringe barrel 52 by a gasket inserted from the proximal end opening of the syringe barrel 52. The prefillable syringe 50 locked to the upper end of the receiving tube 41 is taken out from the medical supplies storage container 10, and after a pusher is attached to the gasket, it is inserted and sealed in an individually sterilized packaging bag. Stopped. The medical supplies storage container 10 is discarded as non-infectious waste with the label 20 attached.
 図3に、医療用品類収納容器10の別な例を示す。図3は、図1に示した入れ子板40及び保護膜60が取り外された状態の医療用品類収納容器10を示している。ラベル20は、高圧蒸気雰囲気に曝されても、皺が発生せず、容器本体30から剥離しないので、その面積を大きなものとすることができる。このため図3に示すように、ラベル20を、その長手方向の長さが周壁部32のすべての面を経て一周する長さと略等しい帯状とすることができる。不織シート21の上面は、周壁部32各面に合致する位置に、収納される医療用品類名等の情報が予め記載されている。ラベル20は、周壁部32の外壁面の四面を取り巻くように貼付されることにより、記載された情報が、何れの方向からでも視認可能な状態となる。その結果、保護膜60が貼付された医療用品類収納容器10を、搬送時に積み重ねて移動させる際に視点を変えることなく読み取ることができる。 FIG. 3 shows another example of the medical supplies storage container 10. FIG. 3 shows the medical supplies storage container 10 with the nesting plate 40 and the protective film 60 shown in FIG. 1 removed. Even if the label 20 is exposed to a high-pressure steam atmosphere, no wrinkles are generated and the label 20 is not peeled off from the container body 30, so that the area of the label 20 can be increased. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the label 20 can be formed in a strip shape whose length in the longitudinal direction is substantially equal to the length that goes around all the surfaces of the peripheral wall portion 32. On the upper surface of the non-woven sheet 21, information such as the names of medical supplies to be stored is described in advance at positions corresponding to the respective surfaces of the peripheral wall portion 32. The label 20 is affixed so as to surround the four surfaces of the outer wall surface of the peripheral wall portion 32, so that the described information can be visually recognized from any direction. As a result, the medical supplies storage container 10 to which the protective film 60 is attached can be read without changing the viewpoint when stacked and moved during transport.
 不織シート21は、必要に応じて耐水性を有する樹脂で強度を付与する加工がなされていてもよい。例えば、尿素ホルムアルデヒド樹脂、メラミンホルムアルデヒド樹脂、ポリアミドポリアミンエピクロルヒドリン樹脂、グリオキザール変性ポリアクリルアミド、ポリアミンエピクロルヒドリン樹脂又は脂肪族ジカルボン酸・ポリアルキレンポリアミン・2,3-エポキシスルホネート樹脂のような湿潤紙力増強剤がパルプに添加されていてもよい。 The nonwoven sheet 21 may be processed to impart strength with a water-resistant resin as necessary. For example, wet strength agents such as urea formaldehyde resin, melamine formaldehyde resin, polyamide polyamine epichlorohydrin resin, glyoxal modified polyacrylamide, polyamine epichlorohydrin resin or aliphatic dicarboxylic acid / polyalkylene polyamine / 2,3-epoxysulfonate resin It may be added to.
 プレフィラブルシリンジ50や、これに充填される薬剤への異物の付着・混入を防止するため、不織シート21は、発塵しないことが好ましい。不織シート21からの発塵は、脱落した繊維や発色のための顔料が原因である。そのために不織シート21は、容易に脱落しない長繊維のパルプから構成され、顔料が含まれないことが好ましい。また不織シート21は、アクリル系樹脂エマルジョン等を含浸して発塵を抑えたものであってもよい。この場合、含浸させる樹脂は、セルロース繊維が形成する微細多孔をすべて塞ぐことがないよう、不織シート21の1~30重量%であることが好ましい。 In order to prevent foreign matter from adhering to and mixing into the prefillable syringe 50 and the medicine filled therein, it is preferable that the nonwoven sheet 21 does not generate dust. The dust generation from the non-woven sheet 21 is caused by the dropped fibers and the pigment for coloring. Therefore, the non-woven sheet 21 is preferably composed of long-fiber pulp that does not easily fall off, and does not contain any pigment. The nonwoven sheet 21 may be impregnated with an acrylic resin emulsion or the like to suppress dust generation. In this case, the resin to be impregnated is preferably 1 to 30% by weight of the nonwoven sheet 21 so as not to block all the fine pores formed by the cellulose fibers.
 プレフィラブルシリンジ50や注射筒52に収容される薬剤への異物の付着・混入を防止するために、保護膜60が開口部33を覆い、医療用品類収納容器10内が密閉された後に、ラベル20を貼付し、高圧蒸気滅菌処理が施された後、ラベル20を覆うプラスチックフィルムを貼付してもよい。プラスチックフィルムは、高圧水蒸気に曝されないので収縮することがない。これによって、不織シート21の発塵を抑止して、プレフィラブルシリンジ50や注射筒52に収容される薬剤への異物の付着・混入を防止できる。 After the protective film 60 covers the opening 33 and the inside of the medical supplies storage container 10 is sealed in order to prevent foreign matter from adhering to and mixing in the medicine stored in the prefillable syringe 50 or the syringe barrel 52, After the label 20 is pasted and subjected to high-pressure steam sterilization, a plastic film covering the label 20 may be pasted. The plastic film does not shrink because it is not exposed to high-pressure steam. Thereby, the dust generation of the non-woven sheet 21 can be suppressed, and the adhesion / mixing of foreign matters to the medicine stored in the prefillable syringe 50 or the syringe barrel 52 can be prevented.
 図1において、不織シート21は上質紙を示したが、他にも、中質紙、クラフト紙、ケント紙、模造紙、クレープ紙、和紙等が用いられてもよい。これらの原材料は、針葉樹を原材料とするパルプ・広葉樹を原材料とするパルプ等の木材パルプ、ミツマタ・ワラ・バガス・ヨシ・ケナフ・クワ等の非木材パルプ及び古紙パルプのいずれか一つを用いてもよいし、複数を混合して形成してもよい。特に、針葉樹を原材料とする木材パルプは、繊維が長いので好ましい。繊維が長いと、一つの繊維が、他の繊維と絡まり合う箇所が多くなり、繊維同士の結びつきが強くなって強度が向上する。また短繊維が脱落して生ずる発塵が少なくなる。 In FIG. 1, the non-woven sheet 21 is a high-quality paper, but other than this, a medium-quality paper, craft paper, Kent paper, imitation paper, crepe paper, Japanese paper, or the like may be used. These raw materials are any one of wood pulp such as pulp made from softwood and pulp made from hardwood, non-wood pulp such as Mitsumata, Walla, Bagasse, Yoshi, Kenaf, Mulberry, and waste paper pulp. Alternatively, a plurality of them may be mixed and formed. In particular, wood pulp made from softwood is preferred because of its long fibers. When the fibers are long, there are many places where one fiber is entangled with other fibers, and the bonds between the fibers are strengthened to improve the strength. In addition, the amount of dust generated when the short fibers fall off is reduced.
 不織シート21は、親水性樹脂製保護膜で覆われ又は親水性樹脂を含有していてもよい。親水性樹脂で被覆されている又は親水性樹脂を含有していると、不織シート21の水蒸気を吸収及び放出する特性を損なうことなく、セルロース繊維の脱落による発塵を抑止することができる。このような親水性樹脂として、例えばポリビニルアルコール、カルボキシ変性ポリビニルアルコール、シラノール変性ポリビニルアルコールのようなポリビニルアルコール誘導体;メチルセルロース、ヒドロキシエチルセルロース、カルボキシメチルセルロースのようなセルロース誘導体;澱粉、カチオン化澱粉、酸化澱粉、グラフト化澱粉のような澱粉誘導体;ポリエチレンオキサイド、ポリエチレングリコール、ポリビニルエーテルのようなエーテル結合を有する樹脂を挙げることができる。 The nonwoven sheet 21 may be covered with a hydrophilic resin protective film or may contain a hydrophilic resin. When it is covered with a hydrophilic resin or contains a hydrophilic resin, dust generation due to the falling off of the cellulose fibers can be suppressed without impairing the property of absorbing and releasing the water vapor of the nonwoven sheet 21. Examples of such hydrophilic resins include polyvinyl alcohol derivatives such as polyvinyl alcohol, carboxy-modified polyvinyl alcohol, and silanol-modified polyvinyl alcohol; cellulose derivatives such as methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, and carboxymethyl cellulose; starch, cationized starch, oxidized starch, Examples include starch derivatives such as grafted starch; resins having an ether bond such as polyethylene oxide, polyethylene glycol, and polyvinyl ether.
 図1において、粘着層22を形成する粘着剤にアクリル系粘着剤を示したが、他にも、ゴム系粘着剤、シリコーン系粘着剤、ポリビニルアルコール樹脂及び/又は澱粉のりを用いてもよい。ゴム系粘着剤として、例えば、天然ゴム、ニトリルゴム、ブタジエンゴム、イソプレンゴム、スチレン-ブタジエンゴム、スチレン-イソプレンゴムを挙げることができる。ゴム系粘着剤は、特にポリオレフィンへの粘着性に優れ、粗面にも粘着性を発揮できるので、容器本体30がポリオレフィン製であって、周壁部32の外壁面に凹凸等が形成されている場合に適している。シリコーン系粘着剤として、オルガノポリシロキサンを主成分とするものを挙げることができ、具体的に、末端にビニル基等のアルケニル基を有するジメチルポリシロキサンやジメチルシロキサン-メチルフェニルシロキサン共重合体のような末端アルケニル基含有ジオルガノポリシロキサンを挙げることができる。シリコーン系粘着剤は、濡れ性の低い被着体に対して強固に粘着できるので、容器本体30にフッ素樹脂、ポリイミド樹脂等を選択することができる。ポリビニルアルコール樹脂及び澱粉のりは、親水性を有するので、高圧水蒸気に曝されると水蒸気を吸収して、十分かつ速やかに軟化し、ラベル20と容器本体30との伸縮差を緩衝する。このため、ラベル20を、伸縮量の大きい大型のものとする場合に適している。 In FIG. 1, an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is shown as the pressure-sensitive adhesive forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22, but a rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, a silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, a polyvinyl alcohol resin, and / or starch glue may also be used. Examples of rubber-based adhesives include natural rubber, nitrile rubber, butadiene rubber, isoprene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, and styrene-isoprene rubber. The rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive is particularly excellent in adhesion to polyolefin, and can exhibit adhesion even on a rough surface. Therefore, the container body 30 is made of polyolefin, and irregularities and the like are formed on the outer wall surface of the peripheral wall portion 32. Suitable for cases. Examples of the silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive include those having organopolysiloxane as a main component, such as dimethylpolysiloxane having a terminal alkenyl group such as a vinyl group or a dimethylsiloxane-methylphenylsiloxane copolymer. And terminal alkenyl group-containing diorganopolysiloxane. Since the silicone-based adhesive can firmly adhere to an adherend with low wettability, a fluororesin, a polyimide resin, or the like can be selected for the container body 30. Since the polyvinyl alcohol resin and starch paste have hydrophilicity, they absorb water vapor when exposed to high-pressure water vapor, soften sufficiently and quickly, and buffer the expansion / contraction difference between the label 20 and the container body 30. For this reason, it is suitable when the label 20 is a large-sized label with a large amount of expansion and contraction.
 図1において、収納される医療用品類の一例としてプレフィラブルシリンジを示したが、医療用品類は、診療・予防に用いられる日本薬局方に収載又は未収載の医薬やその他製剤のような医薬品;診療・予防に用いられる医療器のような機械器具、医療用品及び衛生用品のような医療機器が挙げられる。具体的には、プレフィルドシリンジ、輸液チューブ、輸液バッグ、ステント、カテーテル、鉗子、メス等を挙げることができる。 In FIG. 1, a prefillable syringe is shown as an example of stored medical supplies. However, medical supplies are drugs such as drugs or other drugs that are listed or not listed in the Japanese Pharmacopeia used for medical care and prevention. Mechanical devices such as medical devices used for medical care and prevention, and medical devices such as medical supplies and hygiene products.

 容器本体30、入れ子板40及び注射筒52の材料は、耐薬品性、耐熱性、ガス・菌バリア性、生体への安全性等の観点から選択される。例えばポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、環状ポリオレフィンのようなポリオレフィン樹脂;ポリスチレン;ポリカーボネート;ポリエチレンテレフタレートのようなポリエステル;ポリアミドが用いられる。特に滅菌処理をオートクレーブで行う場合、容器本体30の材料としては、耐熱性の高い樹脂、例えばポリプロピレン又はポリカーボネートを用いることが好ましい。また、注射筒52の材料としては、内部に充填された薬剤を外側から目視にて確認できるように透明であり、かつ薬剤との相互作用が少ない樹脂である環状オレフィンホモポリマー又は環状オレフィンコポリマーを用いることが好ましい。それらは成型によって形成される。その成形法は、射出成形法、ブロー成形法、熱成形法等を用いることができ、なかでも射出成形法が好ましい。 The materials of the container body 30, the nesting plate 40, and the syringe barrel 52 are selected from the viewpoints of chemical resistance, heat resistance, gas / bacteria barrier properties, safety to living bodies, and the like. For example, polyolefin resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene and cyclic polyolefin; polystyrene; polycarbonate; polyester such as polyethylene terephthalate; In particular, when sterilization is performed by an autoclave, it is preferable to use a highly heat-resistant resin such as polypropylene or polycarbonate as the material of the container body 30. Further, as the material of the syringe barrel 52, a cyclic olefin homopolymer or cyclic olefin copolymer, which is transparent so that the medicine filled inside can be visually confirmed from the outside and has little interaction with the medicine, is used. It is preferable to use it. They are formed by molding. As the molding method, an injection molding method, a blow molding method, a thermoforming method, or the like can be used, and among these, the injection molding method is preferable.
 保護膜60の材料は、水蒸気透過性と、微粒子不透過性とを有する滅菌紙若しくは樹脂製の不織布、又は滅菌紙と樹脂製の不織布とを併設した樹脂シートを用いる。ここで言う微粒子とは、菌や細菌等を指す。 The material of the protective film 60 is a sterilized paper or resin nonwoven fabric having water vapor permeability and fine particle impermeability, or a resin sheet provided with a sterilized paper and resin nonwoven fabric. Here, the fine particles refer to bacteria, bacteria, and the like.
