　本願は、日本国特願２０１４－０９６６８３号の優先権を主張し、引用によって本願明細書の記載に組み込まれる。 This application claims the priority of Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-096683, and is incorporated herein by reference.
　本発明は、外科手術などに用いる縫合糸用パッケージに関する。 The present invention relates to a suture package for use in surgery and the like.
　従来、外科手術などに用いる縫合糸を収容するパッケージとして、先端に針が取り付けられた縫合糸を、パッケージ内に巻回させて保持する構造が知られている。このようなパッケージでは、使用時には、先端の針をパッケージから引き出すことにより、パッケージ内に巻回された縫合糸が引き出される。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a package for accommodating a suture used in a surgical operation or the like, a structure in which a suture having a needle attached to the tip is wound and held in the package is known. In such a package, at the time of use, the suture thread wound in the package is pulled out by pulling out the needle at the tip from the package.
　縫合糸をパッケージ内に巻回する方法としては、例えば特許文献１に開示されるように、パッケージ内に渦巻き状の通路を形成し、該通路の奥から空気を吸引する、及び／または通路の入り口から空気を送り込むことにより、縫合糸を該通路内に装填して保持する縫合糸用パッケージを用いる方法が挙げられる。しかしながら、該パッケージでは、パッケージ内に収容可能な糸の長さが、渦巻き状の通路の長さまでに限定される。そのため、長い糸を保持させるにはパッケージを大きくする必要があるという問題がある。また、該パッケージでは、渦巻き状の通路の中心に近い部分における曲率が大きい。そのため、渦巻きの中心に近い通路部分に保持された縫合糸部分に巻き癖がつきやすいという問題もある。 As a method of winding the suture thread in the package, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a spiral passage is formed in the package, air is sucked from the back of the passage, and / or There is a method using a suture package that loads and holds a suture in the passage by sending air from an entrance. However, in the package, the length of the yarn that can be accommodated in the package is limited to the length of the spiral passage. Therefore, there is a problem that it is necessary to enlarge the package in order to hold a long yarn. Moreover, in this package, the curvature in the part close | similar to the center of a spiral path is large. Therefore, there is also a problem that the suture thread portion held in the passage portion close to the center of the spiral is likely to be curled.
　そこで、例えば特許文献２には、楕円形状の糸保持溝部内に縫合糸を巻回して保持するパッケージ（包装用支持体）が開示されている。このパッケージでは、糸保持溝部と連通する案内溝部に、圧力空気ノズルから噴出されるエアを導入することにより、糸保持溝部を周回する気流を形成する。そして、縫合糸を案内溝部より導入し、該気流に乗せて周回させることにより、縫合糸を糸保持部内に巻回することができる。 Thus, for example, Patent Document 2 discloses a package (wrapping support) in which a suture is wound and held in an elliptical thread holding groove. In this package, an air stream circulating around the yarn holding groove is formed by introducing the air ejected from the pressure air nozzle into the guide groove communicating with the yarn holding groove. And a suture can be wound in a thread | yarn holding | maintenance part by introduce | transducing a suture from a guide groove part, and carrying on this airflow and making it circulate.
　しかしながら、特許文献２のパッケージでは、溝部内に気流を形成する場合、エア及び縫合糸の入口である案内溝部から遠くなるにつれ、気流の速度が遅くなる。そのため、縫合糸の先端部分の流動速度よりも後ろに続く部分の方が速くなることがある。そうすると、縫合糸が撓み、糸保持溝部内に引っ掛かって詰まってしまう等の問題が生じる。同様に、糸送りロールを用いる場合でも、縫合糸が糸送りロールとの係合点より後方において撓み、糸保持溝部内で詰まる等の問題が生じる。 However, in the package of Patent Document 2, when an airflow is formed in the groove, the airflow speed decreases as the distance from the guide groove that is the inlet for air and sutures increases. For this reason, the portion following the flow rate of the distal end portion of the suture thread may be faster. If it does so, a problem will arise that a suture will bend and it will be caught in a thread holding groove part, and will be clogged. Similarly, even when the yarn feed roll is used, there arises a problem that the suture is bent behind the point of engagement with the yarn feed roll and clogged in the yarn holding groove.

The package main body portion 10 and the lid portion 40 may be molded separately or may be molded integrally.
　図１は、パッケージ本体部１０を表す模式的平面図である。図１に示すように、パッケージ本体部１０は、ベースシート１１を有する。ベースシート１１の一方の面上（以下、上面という）には、ベースシート１１の外縁部を囲うように起立している外壁１２と、外壁１２の内側を周回するように起立している内壁１３とが設けられている。 FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view showing the package body 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the package body 10 has a base sheet 11. On one surface of the base sheet 11 (hereinafter referred to as the upper surface), an outer wall 12 is erected so as to surround an outer edge portion of the base sheet 11, and an inner wall 13 is erected so as to go around the inside of the outer wall 12. And are provided.
　本実施形態では、内壁１３は、渦巻きの巻き数が１より大きい渦巻き形状を有する。詳細には、内壁１３は、開環状の巻回壁１３ａと、巻回壁１３ａの一方の端部から該開環の内側へと伸びる流入路形成部１３ｂとにより構成される。巻回壁１３ａは、巻回管路２１により形成される環の内周側に位置する巻回管路２１の壁であり、パッケージ１内に縫合糸が収容された際に、該縫合糸が巻回される部分である。そして、外壁１２と巻回壁１３ａとの間に、通路２１（蓋４０が設けられた際に巻回管路２１となる通路。以下、蓋４０を設ける前の該通路についても、巻回管路２１と呼ぶ）が形成される。 In the present embodiment, the inner wall 13 has a spiral shape in which the number of spirals is greater than one. Specifically, the inner wall 13 includes an open annular winding wall 13a and an inflow path forming portion 13b extending from one end of the winding wall 13a to the inside of the opening. The winding wall 13 a is a wall of the winding conduit 21 located on the inner peripheral side of the ring formed by the winding conduit 21, and when the suture is accommodated in the package 1, the suture is It is the part that is wound. And between the outer wall 12 and the winding wall 13a, the passage 21 (the passage that becomes the winding pipeline 21 when the lid 40 is provided. Hereinafter, the winding pipe is also provided for the passage before the lid 40 is provided. (Referred to as path 21).
　巻回壁１３ａの両端部間（すなわち、巻回壁１３ａの開環部分）には、巻回管路２１と連通する流入孔３１が開口している。また、外方を向く流入路形成部１３ｂの面と、該面と対向する内壁１３の面との間には、流入孔３１を介して巻回管路２１と連通する流入路２２が形成されている。流入路２２の上流側には、流入口３２が開口している。 Between the both ends of the winding wall 13a (that is, the ring-opening portion of the winding wall 13a), an inflow hole 31 communicating with the winding duct 21 is opened. Further, an inflow path 22 communicating with the winding pipe line 21 through the inflow hole 31 is formed between the surface of the inflow path forming portion 13b facing outward and the surface of the inner wall 13 facing the surface. ing. An inflow port 32 is opened on the upstream side of the inflow passage 22.
　すなわち、流入路２２は、巻回管路２１の隣り合う部分と略平行に形成されている。そのため、流入路２２が巻回管路２１と連通する流入孔３１において、流入路２２と巻回管路２１とのなす角度が小さい。したがって、流入路２２の進行方向とほぼ同じ方向に空気を巻回管路２１へと流入させることができる。このように、流入路２２は、流入孔３１を介して巻回管路２１の長さ方向の特定の一方向（巻回方向Ｒ）に向かって空気を流入させることが可能な向きに配されている。 That is, the inflow path 22 is formed substantially in parallel with the adjacent part of the winding duct 21. Therefore, in the inflow hole 31 where the inflow path 22 communicates with the winding pipe line 21, the angle formed by the inflow path 22 and the winding pipe path 21 is small. Therefore, it is possible to allow air to flow into the winding conduit 21 in substantially the same direction as the traveling direction of the inflow passage 22. In this way, the inflow path 22 is arranged in a direction in which air can be introduced into the specific direction (winding direction R) in the length direction of the winding pipe line 21 through the inflow hole 31. ing.
　流入路２２と巻回管路２１とがなす角度は、可能な限り小さいことが好ましく、例えば、６０°以下が好ましく、４５°以下がより好ましく、３０°以下がさらに好ましい。該角度を前記の範囲とすることで、流入路２２からより効率的に巻回管路２１の巻回方向Ｒに向かって空気を流入させることができる。なお、本明細書において、流入路２２と巻回管路２１とのなす角度とは、流入路２２が巻回管路２１に突入する方向Ｒ１と流入孔３１とのなす角をいうが、これは、流入路２２の中央を通る線と、流入孔３１の中央を通る線とのなす角により決定するものとする。 The angle formed between the inflow passage 22 and the winding conduit 21 is preferably as small as possible, for example, preferably 60 ° or less, more preferably 45 ° or less, and further preferably 30 ° or less. By setting the angle within the above range, air can be more efficiently introduced from the inflow path 22 toward the winding direction R of the winding pipeline 21. In this specification, the angle formed between the inflow passage 22 and the winding conduit 21 is an angle formed between the direction R1 in which the inflow passage 22 enters the winding conduit 21 and the inflow hole 31. Is determined by an angle formed by a line passing through the center of the inflow passage 22 and a line passing through the center of the inflow hole 31.
　なお、本発明では、流入孔３１及び流入路２２は、巻回管路２１の巻回方向Ｒに向かって空気を流入させ、縫合糸を巻回管路２１内へと案内できる限り、特に限定されず、上述の形態でなくともよい。流入路２２は、流入路形成部と内壁１３の面との間に形成されていなくともよく、ベースシート１１の上面に起立する一対の流入路形成壁との間に流入路２２が形成されていてもよい。 In the present invention, the inflow hole 31 and the inflow path 22 are particularly limited as long as air can be introduced toward the winding direction R of the winding conduit 21 and the suture can be guided into the winding conduit 21. It does not have to be the above-mentioned form. The inflow path 22 may not be formed between the inflow path forming portion and the surface of the inner wall 13, and the inflow path 22 is formed between the pair of inflow path forming walls standing on the upper surface of the base sheet 11. May be.
　また、流入孔３１及び流入路２２の形成される場所は、特に限定されず、例えば、流入孔３１及び流入路２２は、外壁１２に形成されていてもよく、ベースシート１１上おいて巻回管路２１が設けられた部分や、蓋部４０の後述する巻回管路２１を覆う部分に形成されていてもよい。もっとも、流入孔３１及び流入路２２が内壁１３の巻回壁１３ａと接続するように形成されている場合には、後述するように縫合糸の一端を内壁１３より内側の位置に固定できるため、好ましい。 The place where the inflow hole 31 and the inflow path 22 are formed is not particularly limited. For example, the inflow hole 31 and the inflow path 22 may be formed in the outer wall 12 and are wound on the base sheet 11. You may form in the part in which the pipe line 21 was provided, and the part which covers the winding pipe line 21 mentioned later of the cover part 40. FIG. However, when the inflow hole 31 and the inflow path 22 are formed so as to be connected to the winding wall 13a of the inner wall 13, one end of the suture can be fixed at a position inside the inner wall 13 as described later. preferable.
　本実施形態では、内壁１３の巻回壁１３ａの形状は、略長円形状である。このように、巻回壁１３ａの巻回管路２１側の壁面（すなわち、巻回管路２１により形成される環の内周側に位置する巻回管路２１の内壁面）は、角を有しない非多角形状が好ましい。その場合には、巻回壁１３ａに縫合糸が巻回された際に、内周面に当接した状態で保持されても、巻き癖がつかないという利点がある。このような形状としては、例えば、略長円形状、略楕円形状または略円形状などが挙げられる。もっとも、本発明においては、該壁面の形状は特に限定されない。 In this embodiment, the shape of the winding wall 13a of the inner wall 13 is a substantially oval shape. Thus, the wall surface of the winding wall 13a on the side of the winding pipeline 21 (that is, the inner wall surface of the winding pipeline 21 located on the inner peripheral side of the ring formed by the winding pipeline 21) has a corner. Non-polygonal shapes that do not have are preferred. In that case, there is an advantage that when the suture thread is wound around the winding wall 13a, even if the suture thread is held in a state of being in contact with the inner peripheral surface, there is no curl. Examples of such a shape include a substantially oval shape, a substantially oval shape, and a substantially circular shape. However, in the present invention, the shape of the wall surface is not particularly limited.
　また、巻回壁１３ａに縫合糸が巻回された際、該縫合糸に巻き癖がつかないように、巻回壁１３ａの巻回管路２１側の壁面は、曲率が小さいことが望ましい。該壁面の曲率は、巻回される縫合糸の材質等により適宜決定されるが、例えば、該壁面の最小曲率は、１．２ｍｍ－１以下が好ましく、０．８ｍｍ－１以下がより好ましい。 Further, it is desirable that the wall surface of the winding wall 13a on the side of the winding duct 21 has a small curvature so that the suture thread is not wound when the suture is wound around the winding wall 13a. The curvature of the wall surface is appropriately determined depending on the material of the suture thread to be wound, etc. For example, the minimum curvature of the wall surface is preferably 1.2 mm −1 or less, more preferably 0.8 mm −1 or less.
　内壁１３の巻回壁１３ａの曲面部分には、巻回管路２１と連通する流入孔３３が、径方向にちょうど正反対の位置に２つずつ（計４つ）開口している。このように、本発明の縫合糸用パッケージには、複数の吸引孔が開口していることが好ましく、３つ以上がより好ましい。その場合には、巻回管路２１より効率的に空気を吸引できる。もっとも、吸引孔３３は必ずしも複数である必要はなく、１つだけでもよい。 In the curved surface portion of the winding wall 13 a of the inner wall 13, two inflow holes 33 communicating with the winding pipe 21 are opened at two positions (a total of four) at exactly opposite positions in the radial direction. As described above, the suture package of the present invention preferably has a plurality of suction holes, more preferably three or more. In that case, air can be efficiently sucked from the winding pipe 21. However, the number of suction holes 33 is not necessarily plural, and only one suction hole 33 may be used.
　また、複数の吸引孔３３が開口している場合には、巻回壁１３ａの径方向にそれぞれ正反対となる位置に吸引孔３３が開口していることが好ましい。 Further, when a plurality of suction holes 33 are opened, it is preferable that the suction holes 33 are opened at positions that are directly opposite to each other in the radial direction of the winding wall 13a.
　本実施形態では、巻回壁１３ａが複数個所において切り欠かれており、吸引孔３３は切り欠かれた巻回壁１３ａの隙間にそれぞれ形成されている。このように、巻回管路２１内を周回する縫合糸が空気と共に吸引孔３３から吸引されないように、周回方向における孔の大きさが小さいことが好ましい。より好ましくは、吸引孔３３の形状は、巻回方向Ｒと略直交する長穴形状の孔が好ましい。その場合、長穴形状の流出孔３３における最小幅は、２ｍｍ以下が好ましく、１ｍｍ以下がより好ましく、０．４ｍｍ以下がさらに好ましい。 In the present embodiment, the winding wall 13a is cut out at a plurality of locations, and the suction holes 33 are respectively formed in the gaps of the cut-out winding wall 13a. Thus, it is preferable that the size of the hole in the winding direction is small so that the suture thread that circulates in the winding duct 21 is not sucked from the suction hole 33 together with air. More preferably, the shape of the suction hole 33 is preferably a long hole shape substantially orthogonal to the winding direction R. In that case, the minimum width in the long hole-shaped outflow hole 33 is preferably 2 mm or less, more preferably 1 mm or less, and further preferably 0.4 mm or less.
　また、本実施形態では、吸引孔３３は、内壁１３を斜め方向に切断されるように形成されており、その切断方向Ｒ２と巻回方向Ｒとが巻回管路２１内にてなす角度は、鋭角となっている。該角度は鋭角が好ましく、６０°以下がより好ましく、４５°以下がさらに好ましい。このように、吸引孔３３は、周回方向Ｒに周回する縫合糸が吸引孔３３から吸引されないために、斜め方向に形成されていることが好ましい。 Further, in the present embodiment, the suction hole 33 is formed so as to cut the inner wall 13 in an oblique direction, and the angle formed by the cutting direction R2 and the winding direction R in the winding pipeline 21 is as follows. , Has become an acute angle. The angle is preferably an acute angle, more preferably 60 ° or less, and even more preferably 45 ° or less. Thus, the suction hole 33 is preferably formed in an oblique direction so that the suture thread that circulates in the circumferential direction R is not sucked from the suction hole 33.
　もっとも、吸引孔３３の形状及び形態は、巻回管路２１より空気を吸引して、巻回管路２１内に縫合糸を巻回できる限りにおいて、特に限定されない。吸引孔３３は、単に巻回壁１３ａの壁面を貫通する孔であってもよい。 However, the shape and form of the suction hole 33 are not particularly limited as long as air can be sucked from the winding conduit 21 and a suture can be wound in the winding conduit 21. The suction hole 33 may simply be a hole that penetrates the wall surface of the winding wall 13a.
　なお、本発明において、吸引孔３３の位置は、巻回管路２１より空気を吸引して、巻回管路２１内に縫合糸を巻回できる限りにおいて、特に限定されず、長円状の巻回壁１３ａの壁面における平面部分に開口していてもよい。もっとも、縫合糸をより容易に巻回するには、吸引孔３３の位置は、巻回管路２１内において、流入孔３１が形成されている位置から、巻回方向Ｒに所定の道程を進行した位置の壁面に設けられていることが好ましい。具体的には、縫合糸用パッケージ１に吸引孔３３が１つだけ設けられているとき、流入孔３１が形成されている位置の中心を起点として巻回管路２１内を巻回方向Ｒに進行する場合において、巻回管路２１の全道程に対して１０～７０％（１０％を進行した位置から７０％を進行した位置までの範囲内）の道程に係るいずれかの位置が好ましく、２０～６０％がより好ましく、３０～５０％がさらに好ましい。縫合糸用パッケージ１に複数の吸引孔３３が設けられているときは、各吸引孔３３の位置までの道程の平均が、上記範囲となっていることが好ましい。 In the present invention, the position of the suction hole 33 is not particularly limited as long as the air can be sucked from the winding conduit 21 and the suture can be wound in the winding conduit 21. You may open to the plane part in the wall surface of the winding wall 13a. However, in order to wind the suture thread more easily, the suction hole 33 is moved along a predetermined path in the winding direction R from the position where the inflow hole 31 is formed in the winding conduit 21. It is preferable to be provided on the wall surface at the position. Specifically, when only one suction hole 33 is provided in the suture package 1, the inside of the winding conduit 21 in the winding direction R starts from the center of the position where the inflow hole 31 is formed. In the case of traveling, any position relating to a path of 10 to 70% (within a range from a position where 10% has been advanced to a position where 70% has been advanced) with respect to the entire path of the winding pipeline 21 is preferable It is more preferably 20 to 60%, further preferably 30 to 50%. When the plurality of suction holes 33 are provided in the suture package 1, it is preferable that the average of the distance to the position of each suction hole 33 is in the above range.
　また、吸引孔３３は、外壁１２に開口していてもよく、巻回管路２１の周囲のベースシート１１や蓋部４０に開口していてもよい。もっとも、吸引孔３３が内壁１３の巻回壁１３ａの曲面部分に開口している場合には、縫合糸が巻回管路２１の曲部を通過する際に、縫合糸を内壁側に吸い寄せる作用により、該縫合糸が該曲面部分に沿って移動することを促進するため、好ましい。 Further, the suction hole 33 may be opened in the outer wall 12, or may be opened in the base sheet 11 or the lid portion 40 around the winding pipeline 21. However, when the suction hole 33 is opened in the curved surface portion of the winding wall 13a of the inner wall 13, the suture is sucked toward the inner wall side when passing through the curved portion of the winding duct 21. It is preferable because the action facilitates the suture to move along the curved surface portion.
　本実施形態では、パッケージ本体部１０は、ベースシート１１上において巻回壁１３ａより内側に、その両端において巻回壁１３ａと接続し、巻回壁１３ａと共に空気排出空間を形成するように起立する吸引路形成壁１４をさらに備える。吸引孔３３は、該空間と連通している。 In the present embodiment, the package body 10 is erected on the base sheet 11 so as to be connected to the winding wall 13a at both ends on the inner side of the winding wall 13a and to form an air discharge space together with the winding wall 13a. A suction path forming wall 14 is further provided. The suction hole 33 communicates with the space.
　さらに、本実施形態では、巻回壁１３ａと吸引路形成壁１４とに囲まれた部分において、ベースシート１１に吸引口３４が開口している。そして、該吸引空間は、吸引孔３３と吸引口３４とを連通させる吸引路２３となる。 Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a suction port 34 is opened in the base sheet 11 in a portion surrounded by the winding wall 13 a and the suction path forming wall 14. The suction space serves as a suction path 23 that allows the suction hole 33 and the suction port 34 to communicate with each other.
　図２は、蓋部４０を設けた縫合糸用パッケージ１を表す模式的平面図である。図２に示すように、蓋部４０は、巻回管路２１、流入路２２、吸引路２３を覆うように、パッケージ本体部１０上に設けられる（以下、蓋部４０が設けられている方向を上側とする）。このとき、外壁１２、内壁１３及び吸引路形成壁１４は、上側の端辺において、蓋部４０と接合する。これにより、蓋部４０に覆われた巻回管路２１は、空気が循環可能な環状の管体流路（管路）となる。蓋部４０に覆われた流入路２２は、流入口３２から空気が流入し、流入孔３１を介して巻回管路２１へと空気を流入させることが可能な管体流入路となる。蓋部４０に覆われた吸引路２３は、巻回管路２１から複数の吸引孔３３を通じて空気が吸引され、ベースシート１１に開口している吸引口３４を介してベースシート１１の下側に空気を吸引することが可能な吸引路となる。 FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view showing the suture package 1 provided with the lid 40. As shown in FIG. 2, the lid 40 is provided on the package body 10 so as to cover the winding conduit 21, the inflow passage 22, and the suction passage 23 (hereinafter, the direction in which the lid 40 is provided). Is the upper side). At this time, the outer wall 12, the inner wall 13, and the suction path forming wall 14 are joined to the lid portion 40 at the upper end side. Thereby, the winding pipeline 21 covered with the lid part 40 becomes an annular tubular passage (pipe) through which air can circulate. The inflow path 22 covered with the lid portion 40 becomes a pipe inflow path through which air can flow from the inflow port 32 and can flow into the winding pipe line 21 through the inflow hole 31. The suction path 23 covered with the lid portion 40 sucks air from the winding pipe line 21 through the plurality of suction holes 33, and passes through the suction port 34 opened to the base sheet 11 to the lower side of the base sheet 11. It becomes a suction path capable of sucking air.
　本実施形態では、巻回管路２１内を巻回方向Ｒに進行していくに従い、巻回管路２１の断面積が小さくなっている。具体的には、巻回管路２１内を巻回方向Ｒに沿って周回するとき、流入孔３１が設けられた位置の直後から、流入孔３１が設けられた位置の直前に至るまで、巻回管路２１内を進行していくに従い、巻回方向Ｒに直交する巻回管路２１の断面積が小さくなるように構成されている。これにより、流入孔３１から流入した空気が巻回管路２１内を進行していくにつれ、該空気の流速が低下することを抑制することができる。 In the present embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the winding pipeline 21 becomes smaller as the inside of the winding pipeline 21 progresses in the winding direction R. Specifically, when the inside of the winding pipe line 21 is circulated along the winding direction R, the winding line 21 extends from immediately after the position where the inflow hole 31 is provided to immediately before the position where the inflow hole 31 is provided. The cross-sectional area of the winding pipe line 21 orthogonal to the winding direction R is reduced as it travels through the winding pipe line 21. Thereby, it can suppress that the flow velocity of this air falls as the air which flowed in from the inflow hole 31 advances the inside of the winding pipe line 21. As shown in FIG.
　外壁１２、内壁１３または吸引路形成壁１４と蓋部４０との接合方法は特に限定されない。例えば、蓋部４０の当該接合部分が外壁１２、内壁１３または吸引路形成壁１４と嵌合可能な形状を有している場合には、嵌合により接合してもよい。また、蓋部４０を外壁１２、内壁１３または吸引路形成壁１４に溶着、接着、貼付等してもよい。 The method of joining the outer wall 12, the inner wall 13, or the suction path forming wall 14 and the lid portion 40 is not particularly limited. For example, when the joint portion of the lid 40 has a shape that can be fitted to the outer wall 12, the inner wall 13, or the suction path forming wall 14, the lid 40 may be joined by fitting. Further, the lid portion 40 may be welded, adhered, pasted or the like to the outer wall 12, the inner wall 13 or the suction path forming wall 14.
　また、パッケージ本体部１０に蓋部４０を確実に固定するために、ベースシート１１の上面に１つ以上の蓋固定部１８を設けてもよい。蓋固定部１８は、例えば、蓋部４０に設けられた嵌合突起と嵌合することにより、蓋部４０を固定してもよい。 Further, one or more lid fixing portions 18 may be provided on the upper surface of the base sheet 11 in order to securely fix the lid portion 40 to the package main body portion 10. The lid fixing part 18 may fix the lid part 40 by fitting with a fitting protrusion provided on the lid part 40, for example.
　図３及び図４は、縫合糸用パッケージ１に設けられた第１及び第２の案内部１５及び４５の略図的側面図である。本実施形態では、流入路２２及び巻回管路２１の上下に第１及び第２の案内部１５及び４５を備えている。具体的には、第１の案内部１５は、流入路２２を区画形成しているベースシート１１の上面に設けられる。第２の案内部４５は、巻回管路２１を区画形成している蓋部４０の巻回管路２１側の面に設けられる。 3 and 4 are schematic side views of the first and second guide portions 15 and 45 provided in the suture package 1. FIG. In the present embodiment, first and second guide portions 15 and 45 are provided above and below the inflow path 22 and the winding duct 21. Specifically, the first guide portion 15 is provided on the upper surface of the base sheet 11 that defines the inflow passage 22. The second guide portion 45 is provided on the surface of the lid 40 that defines the winding pipeline 21 on the winding pipeline 21 side.
　第１の案内部１５は、流入路２２内に流入する縫合糸を、上方向（蓋部４０方向）へと案内する構造を有する。具体的には、図３に示されるように、第１の案内部１５は、流入路２２における流入方向Ｒ１に向かって上方向に上るような傾斜面を有している。これにより、流入路２２において第１の案内部１５が形成されている部分では、流入路２２が上方向に向かって傾斜する。そのため、縫合糸を上方向へと案内することができる。 The first guide portion 15 has a structure for guiding the suture flowing into the inflow path 22 upward (in the direction of the lid portion 40). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the first guide portion 15 has an inclined surface that rises upward in the inflow direction R <b> 1 in the inflow channel 22. Thereby, in the part in which the 1st guide part 15 is formed in the inflow path 22, the inflow path 22 inclines toward upper direction. Therefore, the suture can be guided upward.
　第２の案内部４５は、巻回管路２１内に周回する縫合糸を、下方向（ベースシート１１方向）へと案内する構造を有する。具体的には、図４に示されるように、第２の案内部４５は、巻回管路２１における周回方向Ｒに向かって下方向に下るような斜面を有している。これにより、巻回管路２１において第２の案内部４５が形成されている部分では、巻回管路２１が下方向に向かって傾斜する。そのため、縫合糸を下方向へと案内することができる。 The second guide portion 45 has a structure for guiding the suture that circulates in the winding duct 21 downward (toward the base sheet 11). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the second guide portion 45 has a slope that descends downward in the circumferential direction R of the winding conduit 21. Thereby, in the part in which the 2nd guide part 45 is formed in the winding pipeline 21, the winding pipeline 21 inclines below. Therefore, the suture can be guided downward.
　本実施形態では、第１及び第２の案内部１５及び４５は、流入路２２の流入方向Ｒ１及び巻回管路２１の巻回方向Ｒにおいて、流入孔３１のちょうど手前付近に設けられている。すなわち、第１の案内部１５は、縫合糸を流入孔３１より巻回管路２１内に案内する直前において、該縫合糸を上方向へと案内する位置に設けられている。第２の案内部４５は、流入孔３１より巻回管路２１内に案内された縫合糸が、巻回管路２１内を一周する直前において、該縫合糸を下方向へと案内する位置に設けられている。 In the present embodiment, the first and second guide portions 15 and 45 are provided in the vicinity of the inflow hole 31 in the inflow direction R1 of the inflow passage 22 and the winding direction R of the winding conduit 21. . That is, the first guide portion 15 is provided at a position for guiding the suture upward, immediately before guiding the suture into the winding duct 21 from the inflow hole 31. The second guide portion 45 is positioned at a position where the suture thread guided into the winding conduit 21 from the inflow hole 31 guides the suture downward immediately before going round the winding conduit 21. Is provided.
　もっとも、流入路２２内における第１の案内部１５の位置は、縫合糸を上方向へと案内し、流入孔３１を介して巻回管路２１内に縫合糸を上方向から流入させることができる限り、特に限定されない。巻回管路２１内における第２の案内部４５の位置は、第１の案内部１５により上方向から巻回管路２１内に流入してきた縫合糸を下方向に案内できる限り、特に限定されない。また、縫合糸が巻回管路２１内を周回中に自重により下方向へと下がっていく場合には、第２の案内部４５は必須でなく、なくともよい。 However, the position of the first guide portion 15 in the inflow path 22 is to guide the suture upward and allow the suture to flow into the winding duct 21 from above through the inflow hole 31. As long as possible, it is not particularly limited. The position of the second guide portion 45 in the winding pipeline 21 is not particularly limited as long as the suture thread that has flowed into the winding pipeline 21 from above can be guided downward by the first guide portion 15. . In addition, when the suture thread goes down due to its own weight while circulating in the winding duct 21, the second guide portion 45 is not essential.
　なお、第１及び第２の案内部１５及び４５は、流入路２２を区画形成している蓋部４０の流入路２２側の面及び巻回管路２１を区画形成しているベースシート１１の上面に設けられていてもよい。すなわち、第１及び第２の案内部１５及び４５は、互いに逆の向きとなるように設けられていればよい。その場合には、上述の第１及び第２の案内部１５及び４５に関する記述については、上下の記載を逆にして読み替えればよい。 Note that the first and second guide portions 15 and 45 are provided on the surface of the lid 40 that defines the inflow passage 22 on the side of the inflow passage 22 and the base sheet 11 that defines the winding duct 21. It may be provided on the upper surface. That is, the first and second guide portions 15 and 45 only need to be provided in opposite directions. In that case, what is necessary is just to read the description regarding the above-mentioned 1st and 2nd guide parts 15 and 45 by making the description of the upper and lower sides reverse.
　本発明の縫合糸用パッケージ１では、外壁１２と内壁１３との間に形成される巻回管路２１内に縫合糸を保持する。そのため、ベースシート１１上において内壁１３より内側の空間がフリースペースとなる。したがって、該スペースに縫合糸の端部を固定する固定部を形成することができる。 In the suture package 1 of the present invention, the suture is held in the winding duct 21 formed between the outer wall 12 and the inner wall 13. Therefore, the space inside the inner wall 13 on the base sheet 11 becomes a free space. Therefore, a fixing portion for fixing the end portion of the suture thread can be formed in the space.
　本実施形態では、ベースシート１１上において内壁１３より内側に、一組のホルダー１６が形成されている。ホルダー１６は、縫合糸の端部に取り付けられた針を固定するための針留め材を嵌め込み可能な構造を有している。針留め材をホルダー１６に嵌め込み、該位置に配することにより、巻回管路２１に巻回する縫合糸の端部に取り付けられた針を、内壁１３より内側に固定することができる。 In this embodiment, a set of holders 16 is formed on the base sheet 11 inside the inner wall 13. The holder 16 has a structure in which a needle fastening material for fixing a needle attached to an end portion of the suture thread can be fitted. The needle attached to the holder 16 and disposed at this position allows the needle attached to the end of the suture wound around the winding conduit 21 to be fixed inside the inner wall 13.
　具体的には、図５に示すように、ホルダー１６は、ベースシート１１上に起立し、エラストマーからなる針留め材５０を保持可能な保持空間１６ｃを形成する一対の保持壁１６ａと、保持壁１６ａのそれぞれの上端部に形成され、保持空間１６ｃから針留め材５０が抜けることを防止する抜け止め部１６ｂとを有する。抜け止め部１６ｂは、保持空間１６ｃの外側へ向かってのみ広がるように斜めに切り込まれている。そのため、針留め材５０を外側から保持空間へと嵌め込む際には抵抗が小さく、保持空間から外側へと取り出す際には抵抗が大きくなる。 Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the holder 16 stands on the base sheet 11 and has a pair of holding walls 16 a that form a holding space 16 c that can hold the needle clamp material 50 made of an elastomer, and a holding wall. It has a retaining portion 16b which is formed at each upper end portion of 16a and prevents the needle retaining material 50 from coming off from the holding space 16c. The retaining portion 16b is cut obliquely so as to expand only toward the outside of the holding space 16c. For this reason, the resistance is small when the needle clamp member 50 is fitted into the holding space from the outside, and the resistance is increased when it is taken out from the holding space.
　なお、ベースシート１１上に針留め材を配するにあたり、ホルダー１６は必ずしも必要ない。針留め材５０は、例えば、ベースシート１１上に溶着、接着、貼付等されていてもよい。
　好ましくは、製造工程の簡略化のため、針留め材５０はベースシート１１と一体に成形されていてもよい。その場合には、針留め材５０を縫合糸用パッケージ１に固定する作業が必要ない。また、針留め材５０が縫合糸用パッケージ１の内側の空間に配置されるため、巻回管路２１の外側に針留め材を配置するスペースが必要ない。したがって、縫合糸用パッケージ１を比較的コンパクトにすることができる。 It should be noted that the holder 16 is not necessarily required when the needle clamp material is disposed on the base sheet 11. The needle clamp material 50 may be welded, bonded, affixed or the like on the base sheet 11, for example.
Preferably, the needle clamp member 50 may be formed integrally with the base sheet 11 in order to simplify the manufacturing process. In that case, the operation | work which fixes the needle clamp material 50 to the package 1 for sutures is unnecessary. Further, since the needle fastening material 50 is disposed in the space inside the suture package 1, there is no need for a space for placing the needle fastening material outside the winding conduit 21. Therefore, the suture package 1 can be made relatively compact.
　針留め材５０に用いるエラストマーの材質は、縫合糸の端部に取り付けられた針を固定できる限り特に限定されず、例えば、シリコーンゴム、ポリウレタンゴム、ポリスチレンゴム、ポリオレフィンゴムなど、医療分野において通常用いられる種々のエラストマーを用いることができる。なかでも、衛生面に優れたシリコーンゴム、ポリウレタンゴムなどのエラストマーが好ましく、加硫及び添加剤が不要なポリウレタンゴムなどが特に好ましい。 The material of the elastomer used for the needle clamp 50 is not particularly limited as long as the needle attached to the end of the suture can be fixed. For example, silicone rubber, polyurethane rubber, polystyrene rubber, polyolefin rubber, and the like are usually used in the medical field. Various elastomers can be used. Among them, elastomers such as silicone rubber and polyurethane rubber excellent in hygiene are preferable, and polyurethane rubber which does not require vulcanization and additives is particularly preferable.
　なお、本発明において、縫合糸の端部に取り付けられた針を固定する手段としては、必ずしもエラストマーからなる針留め材を用いる必要はない。例えば、発泡体からなる針留め材が配されていてもよく、本体部１０に針留め可能な構造が形成されていてもよい。また、粘着テープなどにより、ベースシート１１上に針を貼付して固定してもよい。 In the present invention, as a means for fixing the needle attached to the end of the suture thread, it is not always necessary to use an elastomeric needle fastening material. For example, a needle fastening material made of a foam may be disposed, and a structure capable of needle fastening may be formed in the main body portion 10. Further, a needle may be attached and fixed on the base sheet 11 with an adhesive tape or the like.
　また、本実施形態では、ベースシート１１には、針留め材５０が配される近くにおいて、周囲に切れ込みの入った窓部３６が形成されている。窓部３６は、ベースシート１１の下部及び上部に開閉可能な構造を有している。そのため、針留め材５０に固定された針を使用時にピンセット等で掴む際に、窓部が開くことによりベースシート１１の底がピンセット等の邪魔にならず、針をつかみやすくなる。 Further, in the present embodiment, the base sheet 11 is formed with a window portion 36 with a notch in the vicinity in the vicinity where the needle fastener 50 is disposed. The window portion 36 has a structure that can be opened and closed at a lower portion and an upper portion of the base sheet 11. Therefore, when the needle fixed to the needle clamp member 50 is gripped with tweezers or the like when in use, the bottom of the base sheet 11 does not interfere with tweezers or the like by opening the window portion, and the needle is easily grasped.
　本実施形態では、窓部３６は略四角形状であり、三辺にベースシート１１を貫通する切れ込みが入っており、残り一辺をヒンジとしてベースシート１１の下部及び上部に開閉可能な構造を有している。もっとも、窓部３６は開閉可能な構造であればよく、形状は略四角形上に限らず、略円形状、略多角形状または略星形形状などでもよい。 In the present embodiment, the window portion 36 has a substantially rectangular shape, has cuts that penetrate the base sheet 11 on three sides, and has a structure that can be opened and closed at the lower and upper portions of the base sheet 11 with the remaining one side as a hinge. ing. But the window part 36 should just be a structure which can be opened and closed, and a shape is not restricted on a substantially square shape, A substantially circular shape, a substantially polygonal shape, or a substantially star shape etc. may be sufficient.
　本実施形態では、流入口３２付近において、ベースシート１１にノズル出口３５が開口している。具体的には、ベースシート１１において、流入路２２の延長線上にあたる位置に、ベースシート１１の下部から送風ノズルを出すためのノズル出口３５が開口している。これにより、図６に示すように、ベースシート１１の裏面よりノズル出口３５を通して送風機の送風ノズル６０を出すことができる。このようにして、流入路２２の入口付近に送風ノズルの位置を固定し、流入路２２に空気を容易に吹き込むことができる。 In this embodiment, the nozzle outlet 35 is opened in the base sheet 11 in the vicinity of the inlet 32. Specifically, in the base sheet 11, a nozzle outlet 35 for opening a blower nozzle from the lower part of the base sheet 11 is opened at a position corresponding to an extension line of the inflow passage 22. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 6, the blower nozzle 60 of the blower can be discharged from the back surface of the base sheet 11 through the nozzle outlet 35. In this way, the position of the blowing nozzle is fixed near the inlet of the inflow path 22, and air can be easily blown into the inflow path 22.
　次に、本発明の縫合糸用パッケージ１に縫合糸を巻回する方法を説明する。縫合糸用パッケージ１に巻回される縫合糸は特に限定されず、例えば、絹などの天然材料からなる縫合糸であってもよく、ナイロン等のポリアミド、ポリジオキサノン、ポリグリコール酸等のポリエステル、ポリプロピレン等のポリオレフィン、またはポリビニリデンフルオライドなどの合成材料からなる縫合糸であってもよい。該縫合糸は、モノフィラメント縫合糸であってもよく、マルチフィラメント縫合糸であってもよいが、縫合糸の腰が強く、巻回時に吸引孔３３より吸引され難い点において、モノフィラメント縫合糸が好ましい。また、特に限定されないが、該縫合糸の直径が０．０５～０．５ｍｍの範囲である場合には、吸引孔３３より吸引され難く、巻回管路内にスムーズに巻回され得るため、より好ましい。 Next, a method for winding a suture around the suture package 1 of the present invention will be described. The suture wound around the suture package 1 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a suture made of a natural material such as silk, a polyamide such as nylon, a polyester such as polydioxanone, polyglycolic acid, or polypropylene. A suture made of a synthetic material such as polyolefin, or polyvinylidene fluoride may be used. The suture may be a monofilament suture or a multifilament suture, but a monofilament suture is preferable in that the suture is strong and difficult to be sucked from the suction hole 33 during winding. . Although not particularly limited, when the diameter of the suture is in the range of 0.05 to 0.5 mm, it is difficult to be sucked from the suction hole 33 and can be smoothly wound in the winding pipeline. More preferred.
　まず、環状の巻回管路２１内の空気を、吸引孔３３から吸引して排出する。それによって、流入孔３１より巻回管路２１内に空気を流入させ、巻回方向Ｒに沿った気流を生成することができる。該気流は、好ましくは、巻回管路２１内において、巻回方向Ｒに周回する循環流である。 First, the air in the annular winding pipe 21 is sucked and discharged from the suction hole 33. As a result, air can be introduced into the winding duct 21 from the inflow hole 31, and an airflow along the winding direction R can be generated. The airflow is preferably a circulating flow that circulates in the winding direction R in the winding conduit 21.
　吸引孔３３から空気を吸引する方法としては、例えば、吸引口３４に減圧吸引機を取り付けて、吸引孔３３を介して巻回管路２１内の空気を吸引する方法が挙げられる。このとき、巻回管路２１内が負圧になるため、流入孔３１より巻回管路２１内に空気が流入する。このようにして流入した空気が、巻回管路２１内に流れる気流となる。
　好ましくは、上記のようにして流入した空気の一部が、吸引孔３３から排出されずに巻回管路２１内に残り、巻回方向Ｒに沿って周回する。このようにして、巻回管路２１内に循環流が形成される。 As a method of sucking air from the suction hole 33, for example, a method of attaching a vacuum suction machine to the suction port 34 and sucking air in the winding duct 21 through the suction hole 33 can be mentioned. At this time, since the inside of the winding pipeline 21 becomes negative pressure, air flows into the winding pipeline 21 from the inflow hole 31. The air that flows in in this way becomes an airflow that flows into the winding duct 21.
Preferably, part of the air that has flowed in as described above remains in the winding duct 21 without being discharged from the suction hole 33 and circulates along the winding direction R. In this way, a circulating flow is formed in the winding pipeline 21.
　このとき、巻回管路２１内における気流（好ましくは、循環流）の形成を助けるため、吸引孔３３からの吸引と共に、流入口３２に空気を吹き込み、流入孔３１から巻回管路２１内に直接空気を流入させてもよい。流入口３２に空気を吹き込む方法としては、例えば、ベースシート１１の裏面よりノズル出口３５を通して送風機の送風ノズルを出すことにより送風ノズルの位置を固定し、流入口３２に向かって送風する方法が挙げられる。 At this time, air is blown into the inflow port 32 together with the suction from the suction hole 33 in order to help the formation of the airflow (preferably the circulating flow) in the winding pipe 21, and the inside of the winding pipe 21 through the inflow hole 31. Air may be directly flowed into. As a method of blowing air into the inflow port 32, for example, a method of fixing the position of the blower nozzle by discharging the blower nozzle of the blower from the back surface of the base sheet 11 through the nozzle outlet 35 and blowing the air toward the inflow port 32 can be given. It is done.
　続いて、または上述の空気の流れの生成と同時に、縫合糸の一端を流入口３２に接近させる。これにより、該縫合糸は、流入口３２より流入する空気の流れに引き込まれて、流入孔３１を通って巻回管路２１内に案内される。続いて、該縫合糸は、巻回管路２１内の空気の気流（好ましくは、循環流）の流れに乗って、巻回管路２１内を巻回方向Ｒに沿って移動する。そして、該縫合糸は、気流（好ましくは、循環流）及び縫合糸自身の慣性力により、巻回管路２１内を周回する。このようにして、縫合糸が巻回管路２１内（特に、巻回壁１３ａ）に巻回されてゆく。 Subsequently, or simultaneously with the generation of the air flow described above, one end of the suture is brought close to the inflow port 32. As a result, the suture thread is drawn into the flow of air flowing in from the inflow port 32 and guided through the inflow hole 31 into the winding conduit 21. Subsequently, the suture thread moves along the winding direction R in the winding pipeline 21 while riding on the flow of air (preferably a circulating flow) in the winding pipeline 21. Then, the suture thread circulates in the winding conduit 21 by an air flow (preferably a circulation flow) and an inertial force of the suture itself. In this manner, the suture is wound around the winding conduit 21 (particularly, the winding wall 13a).
　なお、本実施形態では、巻回管路２１内を巻回方向Ｒに進行していくに従い、巻回管路２１の断面積が小さくなっている。そのため、上記のようにして流入した空気の一部が吸引孔３３より吸引され、その先の巻回管路２１内において気流の量が減少したとしても、気流の流速の低下が小さい。それにより、巻回管路２１内に案内された縫合糸の速度も低下し難くなる。したがって、縫合糸を巻回管路２１内により容易に巻回することができる。 In the present embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the winding pipe line 21 is reduced as it advances in the winding pipe line 21 in the winding direction R. Therefore, even if a part of the air that has flowed in as described above is sucked from the suction hole 33 and the amount of the airflow is reduced in the preceding winding duct 21, the decrease in the flow velocity of the airflow is small. As a result, the speed of the suture thread guided into the winding conduit 21 is also difficult to decrease. Therefore, the suture can be easily wound in the winding conduit 21.
　本実施形態では、流入路２２及び巻回管路２１の上下に第１及び第２の案内部１５及び４５を備えている。これにより、流入路２２へと引き込まれた縫合糸は、第１の案内部１５により流入路２２の上方向（蓋部４０方向）に案内される。該縫合糸は、そのまま巻回管路２１の上側に流入し、巻回管路２１の上側を周回する。そして、巻回南路２１内に設けられた第２の案内部４５により下方向（ベースシート１１方向）に案内され、続いて巻回管路２１の下側を周回し続ける。すなわち、巻回管路２１に引き込まれた縫合糸は、第２の案内部４５が設けられた場所までは巻回管路２１の上側を通過し、第２の案内部４５に案内されて以降は巻回管路２１の下側を周回することとなる。 In the present embodiment, first and second guide portions 15 and 45 are provided above and below the inflow path 22 and the winding duct 21. Thereby, the suture thread drawn into the inflow path 22 is guided upward (in the direction of the lid 40) by the first guide portion 15. The suture thread flows into the upper side of the winding pipeline 21 as it is and circulates around the upper side of the winding pipeline 21. And it guides in the downward direction (base sheet 11 direction) by the 2nd guide part 45 provided in the winding south path 21, and continues to wrap around the lower side of the winding pipe line 21 continuously. That is, the suture thread drawn into the winding conduit 21 passes through the upper side of the winding conduit 21 to the place where the second guide portion 45 is provided, and is guided by the second guide portion 45 and thereafter. Goes around the lower side of the winding duct 21.
　そして、縫合糸の先端付近が巻回管路２１の内周壁に巻回された状態で巻回管路２１の一番下を周回しているとき、該縫合糸に続く部分は、先に下側を周回していた縫合糸の上に積み重なるように巻回される。そのため、巻回管路２１内で縫合糸が絡まり難くなる。したがって、使用時に縫合糸用パッケージ１より縫合糸をスムーズに引き出すことができる。 When the vicinity of the distal end of the suture is wound around the lower end of the winding conduit 21 with the inner periphery of the winding conduit 21 being wound, the portion following the suture is first lowered. It is wound so as to be stacked on the suture thread that has been wound around the side. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the suture thread to be entangled in the winding duct 21. Accordingly, the suture can be smoothly pulled out from the suture package 1 during use.
　なお、案内部１５及び４５の上下関係が逆の場合にも、上下が逆である以外は上記と同様の機構により、縫合糸が巻回される。 In addition, when the vertical relationship between the guide portions 15 and 45 is reversed, the suture is wound by the same mechanism as described above except that the vertical direction is reversed.
　その後、縫合糸の他の一端を縫合糸用パッケージ１に固定することにより、保持させる。縫合糸を固定する位置及び手段は特に限定されないが、好ましくは、縫合糸の端部に取り付けられた針を、内壁１３より内側のベースシート１１上に配された針留め材５０に固定する方法が挙げられる。その場合には、縫合糸用パッケージ１の内側に針付き縫合糸を比較的コンパクトに収納することができる。また、使用時には針留め材５０から針をピンセット等で掴んで取り外すことにより、すぐに縫合を開始することができる。 Thereafter, the other end of the suture is fixed to the suture package 1 to be held. The position and means for fixing the suture are not particularly limited, but it is preferable to fix the needle attached to the end of the suture to the needle holder 50 disposed on the base sheet 11 inside the inner wall 13. Is mentioned. In that case, the suture with a needle can be accommodated relatively compactly inside the suture package 1. Further, at the time of use, suturing can be started immediately by grasping and removing the needle from the needle holder 50 with tweezers or the like.
　本実施形態の縫合糸用パッケージ１は、上記のように構成されているので、以下の利点を有する。 Since the suture package 1 of the present embodiment is configured as described above, it has the following advantages.
　本実施形態の縫合糸用パッケージ１は、環状の巻回管路２１と、巻回管路２１と連通し、巻回管路２１から空気を吸引により排出させることが可能な吸引孔３３と、巻回管路２１と連通し、巻回管路２１の巻回方向Ｒに向かって空気を流入させ、縫合糸を巻回管路２１内へと案内することが可能な流入孔３１とを備え、吸引孔３３から巻回管路２１内の空気を吸引して排出することにより、流入孔３１から巻回管路２１内に空気が流入して巻回管路２１内に気流が形成され、該気流により巻回管路２１内に縫合糸を巻回して収容保持するように構成されている。
　縫合糸用パッケージ１では、吸引孔３３より巻回管路２１内の空気を吸引することにより、縫合糸が空気と共に流入孔３１より巻回管路２１内へと案内される。該縫合糸は、前記気流に案内されて巻回管路２１内を移動し、巻回管路２１内を周回することで巻回管路２１内に巻回される。
　したがって、縫合糸用パッケージ１では、巻回管路２１内からの空気の吸引により、縫合糸が巻回管路２１内に引き込まれる。これにより、縫合糸の詰まりを抑えつつ、縫合糸を縫合糸用パッケージ１内へ容易に装填することができる。 The suture package 1 of the present embodiment includes an annular winding conduit 21, a suction hole 33 that communicates with the winding conduit 21 and allows air to be discharged from the winding conduit 21 by suction, An inflow hole 31 that communicates with the winding conduit 21 and allows air to flow in the winding direction R of the winding conduit 21 and guide the suture into the winding conduit 21. By sucking and discharging the air in the winding line 21 from the suction hole 33, air flows into the winding line 21 from the inflow hole 31 and an air flow is formed in the winding line 21, The suture is wound and accommodated in the winding duct 21 by the air flow.
In the suture package 1, the air in the winding duct 21 is sucked from the suction hole 33, whereby the suture is guided into the winding duct 21 from the inflow hole 31 together with the air. The suture thread is guided in the air flow, moves in the winding pipeline 21, and wraps around the winding pipeline 21 to be wound in the winding pipeline 21.
Therefore, in the suture package 1, the suture is drawn into the winding conduit 21 by suction of air from the winding conduit 21. Thereby, the suture can be easily loaded into the suture package 1 while suppressing clogging of the suture.
　また、本実施形態の縫合糸用パッケージ１は、巻回管路２１内に縫合糸を繰り返し周回させて巻回できる。そのため、パッケージが比較的小型であっても、長い縫合糸を巻回して収容することができるという利点も有する。 Moreover, the suture package 1 of the present embodiment can be wound by repeatedly circulating the suture thread in the winding duct 21. Therefore, even if the package is relatively small, there is an advantage that a long suture can be wound and accommodated.
　さらに、本実施形態の縫合糸用パッケージ１は、巻回管路２１内に縫合糸を繰り返し周回させて巻回した場合においても、巻き数によって曲率は変わらない。そのため、縫合糸用パッケージ１に収容した縫合糸に巻き癖がつきにくくなるという利点も有する。 Furthermore, the curvature of the suture package 1 of this embodiment does not change depending on the number of turns even when the suture is repeatedly wound around the winding duct 21 and wound. Therefore, there is also an advantage that it is difficult for the suture thread contained in the suture package 1 to be curled.
　また、本実施形態の縫合糸用パッケージ１は、吸引孔３３の形状が、巻回方向Ｒと略直交する長穴形状である。そのため、吸引孔３３から縫合糸が流出し難い。したがって、巻回管路２１内に縫合糸をより確実に巻回することができるという利点も有する。 Further, in the suture package 1 of the present embodiment, the shape of the suction hole 33 is a long hole shape substantially orthogonal to the winding direction R. Therefore, it is difficult for the suture thread to flow out from the suction hole 33. Therefore, there is also an advantage that the suture can be wound more reliably in the winding duct 21.
　さらに、本実施形態の縫合糸用パッケージ１は、流入孔３１が設けられた位置の直後から、流入孔３１が設けられた位置の直前に至るまで、巻回管路２１内を進行していくに従い、巻回管路２１の断面積が小さくなるように構成されている。そのため、流入孔３１より流入した空気の一部が吸引孔３３より吸引され、その先の巻回管路２１内において気流の量が減少したとしても、気流の流速の低下が小さい。したがって、巻回管路２１内に縫合糸をより容易に巻回することができるという利点も有する。 Furthermore, the suture package 1 of the present embodiment advances in the winding duct 21 from immediately after the position where the inflow hole 31 is provided to immediately before the position where the inflow hole 31 is provided. Accordingly, the cross-sectional area of the winding conduit 21 is configured to be small. Therefore, even if a part of the air that has flowed in from the inflow hole 31 is sucked in from the suction hole 33 and the amount of the airflow is reduced in the winding duct 21 ahead, the decrease in the flow velocity of the airflow is small. Therefore, there is an advantage that the suture thread can be wound more easily in the winding duct 21.
　また、本実施形態の縫合糸用パッケージ１は、流入孔３１に空気及び縫合糸を案内する流入路２２を備え、流入路２２は、流入孔３１を介して巻回管路２１の巻回方向Ｒに向かって空気を流入可能な向きに配されている。そのため、縫合糸用パッケージ１では、流入孔３１を介して巻回管路２１の巻回方向Ｒに向かって空気を流入させ、縫合糸を巻回管路２１内へと案内することが容易になる。したがって、巻回管路２１に縫合糸を容易に巻回できるという利点も有する。 Further, the suture package 1 of the present embodiment includes an inflow path 22 that guides air and suture to the inflow hole 31, and the inflow path 22 is wound in the winding direction of the winding conduit 21 through the inflow hole 31. It is arranged in a direction in which air can flow into R. Therefore, in the suture package 1, it is easy to introduce air into the winding conduit 21 by flowing air in the winding direction R of the winding conduit 21 through the inflow hole 31. Become. Accordingly, there is an advantage that the suture can be easily wound around the winding duct 21.
　さらに、本実施形態の縫合糸用パッケージ１は、流入路２２内において、縫合糸を上方向に案内可能な第１の案内部１５と、巻回管路２１内において、縫合糸を下方向に案内可能な第２の案内部４５とが形成されている。そのため、巻回管路２１内で縫合糸が絡まり難くなる。したがって、使用時に縫合糸用パッケージ１内から縫合糸を引き出しやすくなるという利点も有する。 Furthermore, the suture package 1 of the present embodiment has a first guide portion 15 capable of guiding the suture upward in the inflow passage 22 and a suture downward in the winding tube 21. A second guide portion 45 capable of guiding is formed. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the suture thread to be entangled in the winding duct 21. Therefore, there is also an advantage that the suture can be easily pulled out from the suture package 1 during use.
　また、本実施形態の縫合糸用パッケージ１は、ベースシート１１には、流入路２２の延長線上において、送風機の送風ノズルを通すためのノズル出口３５が開口している。そのため、ベースシート１１の裏面より送風機の送風ノズルをノズル出口３５から出すことができるため、流入路２２の入口付近に送風ノズルの位置を固定しやすい。したがって、吸引孔３３からの吸引と共に流入路２２に空気を吹き込むときに、流入路２２に空気を吹き込みやすいという利点も有する。 Further, in the suture package 1 of the present embodiment, the base sheet 11 has a nozzle outlet 35 through which the blower nozzle of the blower passes on the extension line of the inflow path 22. Therefore, since the blower nozzle of the blower can be taken out from the nozzle outlet 35 from the back surface of the base sheet 11, it is easy to fix the position of the blower nozzle near the inlet of the inflow path 22. Therefore, when air is blown into the inflow path 22 together with suction from the suction hole 33, there is an advantage that air is easily blown into the inflow path 22.
　さらに、本実施形態の縫合糸用パッケージ１は、ベースシート１１上の内壁１３より内側の位置において、縫合糸の端部に取り付けられた針を固定するための針留め材を嵌め込み可能なホルダー１６が設けられ、ホルダー１６には、嵌め込まれた針留め材が抜けることを防止する抜け止め機構１６ｂが形成されている。そのため、前記針留め材を前記ホルダーに嵌め込むだけでパッケージに容易に固定できるという利点も有する。また、前記針留め材がパッケージ内側の空間に配置されるため、パッケージをよりコンパクトにすることができるという利点も有する。 Furthermore, the suture package 1 of the present embodiment has a holder 16 into which a needle fastening material for fixing a needle attached to the end of the suture thread can be fitted at a position inside the inner wall 13 on the base sheet 11. The holder 16 is formed with a retaining mechanism 16b that prevents the fitted needle retaining material from coming off. Therefore, there is also an advantage that the needle fastening material can be easily fixed to the package simply by fitting into the holder. Moreover, since the said needle clamp material is arrange | positioned in the space inside a package, it also has the advantage that a package can be made more compact.
　なお、本発明の縫合糸用パッケージは、上記構成に限定されず、適宜設計変更可能である。例えば、図７に示されるように、巻回壁１３ａの巻回管路２１側の壁面には、長さ方向に延びる凹状帯１３ｃが形成されていてもよい。この場合には、縫合糸が巻回壁１３ａに巻回される際に、周回経路が最も短くなる凹状帯１３ｃに集中して巻回される。そのため、巻回壁１３ａと蓋部４０とが接合している隙間に縫合糸が入り込むことを防止できる。したがって、該縫合糸用パッケージの使用時に縫合糸を取り出しやすくなる。 Note that the suture package of the present invention is not limited to the above-described configuration, and the design can be changed as appropriate. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, a concave band 13 c extending in the length direction may be formed on the wall surface of the winding wall 13 a on the side of the winding pipeline 21. In this case, when the suture thread is wound around the winding wall 13a, the suture thread is wound around the concave band 13c having the shortest circulation path. Therefore, the suture thread can be prevented from entering the gap where the winding wall 13a and the lid portion 40 are joined. Therefore, it becomes easy to take out the suture when using the suture package.
