Description

  The present invention relates to a monitor cover used in an operating room, and more specifically to a monitor cover that can be easily and without being attached to a monitor.

  In recent years, in order to perform examination and surgery at the same time, in addition to the function of the conventional operating room that performs open surgical treatment, ultra-low invasiveness combines functions such as diagnostic imaging equipment for performing percutaneous medical treatment Hybrid operating rooms for treatment are known.

  Such a hybrid operating room is performed using various devices such as an image diagnostic device, and it is necessary to make these devices aseptic (clean field) in order to prevent contamination during surgery. There is.

  In addition, since a device conventionally used in an operating room is disposed adjacent to a patient, a sterilized drape or cover (hereinafter, referred to as “ It is used by covering it with a “sterilized cover or the like”.

  This sterilized cover or the like is a covering cloth used to isolate a clean area or space (space) from a patient or medical device that is defined as dirty in an area defined as a clean field in an operating room. It is. In particular, it is important to keep the incision site (surgical field) clean during surgery in order to prevent the patient from being infected from any bacteria during the surgery, and sterilize the surgical field and the rest. It is necessary to isolate it with a covered cover. It also isolates the patient's operative field from the rest of the body in order to barrier blood, body fluids, etc. scattered during the operation.

  In the operating room, an operating table on which patients undergoing surgery are laid is installed, and the area around the operating table is a so-called clean field. This clean field refers to a certain area in the operating room where, for example, the surgeon, instrumentation nurse, and surgical assistant are permitted to perform activities related to the operation. Normally, the clean field is a spatial (three-dimensional) area centered on the operating table (patient surgical field).

  On the other hand, an area other than the clean field in the operation room where a so-called extracurricular nurse who is another nurse related to the surgery is active is called an unclean field. For example, even on the floor below the doctor's waist and near the bottom of the operating table, it becomes an unclean field other than the clean field. Here, the unclean field does not mean the “unclean place” in general.

  Conventionally, as an apparatus disposed adjacent to a patient in an operating room, for example, a C-arm type surgical X-ray apparatus can be cited. The C-arm type surgical X-ray apparatus is configured to perform X-ray imaging using X-rays irradiated from the tip of the arm by arranging the arm so as to sandwich the upper and lower sides of the operating table. It is necessary to put a sterilized cover on the upper part of the equipment to make it a clean field. The sterilized cover or the like is formed by allowing an elastic material such as rubber to be contracted along the outer edge of the opening of the bag-like cover, and appropriately covering the parts that require sterilization with the clean field. It has a structure that can do.

  Furthermore, a sterilized cover or the like used for a surgical robot or the like is specifically a sterilized cover or the like that covers a non-sterile part of a surgical robot system as described in Patent Document 1 below. An outer surface adjacent to the sterile field for performing the operation, an inner surface forming a cavity for receiving the non-sterile portion of the surgical robot system, and reducing the volume of the sterilized cover, etc. It has a structure including a fastener connected to the outer surface for fixing the sterilized cover or the like to the non-sterile part.

  By using a sterilized cover or the like constructed in this way, it is easy to install and minimizes installation time while ensuring maximum freedom of operation and visibility of the surgical robot system during surgery. Can be shortened.

JP 2009-509653 A

  As described above, in a hybrid operating room, surgery is performed while viewing an image displayed on a monitor such as an image diagnostic device, and there is a demand for the monitor to be disposed adjacent to the doctor so that the doctor can easily confirm it. is there. At this time, since the monitor is considered unclean for the reasons described above, if it is arranged adjacent to a doctor or nurse who is a clean person, it is necessary to cover it with a sterilized cover or the like to form a clean field.

  However, a conventional sterilized cover or the like has a structure that covers an object simply to make it a clean field, so that there is a problem that wrinkles occur and the screen becomes difficult to see when placed on a monitor. Furthermore, since the operation and examination are performed simultaneously in the hybrid operating room, there is a demand for a doctor to write directly on the screen of a monitor with a sterilized cover or the like using an aqueous pen such as a skin pen. In this regard, the sterilized cover or the like described in Patent Document 1 is secured to the surgical robot system using a fastener, although the visibility is ensured when attached to the surgical robot system. As a result, wrinkles and the like are generated on the monitor screen, and when performing the above-described writing operation, it is impossible to write or writing causes a problem that the screen display and the sterilized cover etc. are shifted. There was a problem.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve such problems. Specifically, the present invention can be easily attached to a monitor used in an operating room, and when it is attached to the monitor, wrinkles are generated on the screen. The aim is to provide no monitor cover.

  The monitor cover according to the present invention that solves the above-described problem is a monitor cover that covers at least a screen display unit of a monitor used in an operating room, and includes a substantially rectangular screen covering unit that covers the screen display unit, and the screen A plurality of side surfaces extending from each edge of the covering portion in a direction substantially orthogonal to the screen display portion, and the adjacent side surface portions are continuous along a direction substantially orthogonal to the screen covering portion. It is characterized by that.

  In the monitor cover according to the present invention, it is preferable that the monitor cover includes a diaphragm portion that is arranged to be freely drawn along the edge portion of the side surface portion.

  In the monitor cover according to the present invention, it is preferable that the throttle portion is drawn through a plurality of openings formed along the end edge portion.

  In the monitor cover according to the present invention, it is preferable that the narrowed portion is inserted through a cylindrical bag portion formed in a cylindrical shape by folding back an edge of the side surface portion.

  In the monitor cover according to the present invention, it is preferable that the screen covering portion is substantially equal to the size of the screen display portion.

  In the monitor cover according to the present invention, it is preferable that at least the screen covering portion is made of a material selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide, polyethylene, polyurethane, and polycarbonate.

  According to the present invention, since the adjacent side surface portions are continuous along the direction substantially orthogonal to the screen covering portion, the clean person does not touch the clean part such as the sterilized cover, and the clean person can use the sterilized cover or the like. The monitor cover can be easily attached to the monitor used in the operating room without touching the unclean part or the monitor.

  Further, according to the present invention, since the diaphragm portion is provided so as to be freely drawn and drawn along the edge portion of the side surface portion, wrinkles occur in the screen covering portion that covers the screen display portion of the monitor used in the operating room. The monitor cover can be attached to the monitor without any trouble.

  In addition, according to the present invention, since the diaphragm is drawn through a plurality of openings formed along the edge, the diaphragm drawn out from the openings can be placed in any place such as a frame where the monitor is fixed. By hooking onto the screen, no wrinkles are produced on the screen cover.

  In addition, according to the present invention, since the throttle portion is inserted into the cylindrical bag portion formed in a cylindrical shape by folding back the edge of the side surface portion, the throttle portion can be easily configured.

  In addition, according to the present invention, since the screen covering portion and the screen display portion are formed with substantially the same size, the monitor cover can be easily attached to the monitor without causing wrinkles in the screen covering portion.

  Further, according to the present invention, at least the screen covering portion is made of a material selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polyurethane, and polycarbonate, so that the screen covering portion is easily written and already written using an aqueous pen such as a skin pen.

The following embodiments do not limit the invention according to each claim, and all combinations of features described in the embodiments are not necessarily essential to the solution means of the invention. Absent.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic view for explaining the usage state of the monitor cover according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view for explaining the configuration of the monitor cover according to the present embodiment. 3 is a diagram for explaining a method for attaching the monitor cover according to the present embodiment, FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a method for attaching the monitor cover according to the present embodiment, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a view for explaining an attachment state of the monitor cover according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the monitor cover 10 according to this embodiment is attached so as to cover at least the screen display unit 2 of the monitor 1 fixed to the frame 3 placed in the clean field of the operating room.

  The frame 3 can be made a clean field by winding the frame cover 20 made of the same material as the monitor cover 10. The frame cover 20 may have any shape as long as it can wind the entire circumference of the frame 3, but has a length dimension about the length of the frame 3 in the longitudinal direction and is longer than the circumferential length of the frame 3. It is preferable to form in the shape of a band formed in the width dimension. Note that the frame cover 20 is preferably fixed using the adhesive tape of the frame cover in which double-sided adhesive tapes are adhered to the inside. At this time, the double-sided adhesive tape may be applied in the length direction of the frame cover, may be applied in the width direction, or the two directions may be combined. Alternatively, the outer periphery of the frame cover 20 may be fixed by using a sterilized adhesive tape 21, and if the above-described adhesive cover 21 is combined with the frame cover in which the double-sided adhesive tape is adhered to the inside of the frame cover described above. It is preferable.

  As shown in FIG. 2, when the monitor cover 10 is attached to the monitor 1, the monitor cover 10 faces the screen display unit 2 and covers the screen display unit 2. A plurality of side surfaces 12 extending from each edge in a direction perpendicular to the screen display unit 2 and the screen covering unit 11 are provided.

  Further, the adjacent side surface portions 12 and 12 are continuous with each other along a direction substantially orthogonal to the screen covering portion 11 through a heat seal portion 12 a formed along a direction substantially orthogonal to the screen covering portion 11. That is, the monitor cover 10 according to the present embodiment is formed in a bottomed box shape in which the edge of the side surface portion opens when the screen covering portion 11 is the bottom side.

  When attaching the monitor cover so as not to cause wrinkles on the screen covering portion 11 when attached to the monitor 1, the screen covering portion 11 is usually tilted with respect to the screen covering portion 11. Although it is desirable to form it in the shape of a substantially quadrangular pyramid as the bottom surface, in this shape, since the opening area formed at the edge of the side surface portion becomes small, the workability when attaching to the monitor is hindered. In particular, since a clean person cannot touch an unclean part such as a monitor cover, and an unclean person cannot touch a clean part such as a monitor cover, a cover is provided on the lower end of the monitor, for example, when the opening area is small. In order to cover the cover, it is necessary for the unclean person to reach out from the back of the screen and receive the cover, but this work not only hinders workability but also the risk of touching clean parts such as the monitor cover. There is. The clean portion such as the sterilized cover is the screen covering portion 11 facing the clean field (the outside of the sterilized cover, etc.) and the vicinity thereof after covering the sterilized cover etc. It is a higher position, and a position lower than the substantially waist of the screen covering portion 11 and the side surface portion 12 are unclean portions such as a sterilized cover, even inside or outside of other sterilized covers.

  Therefore, the monitor cover 10 according to the present embodiment is continuous with each other along the direction substantially orthogonal to the screen covering portion 11 through the heat seal portion 12 a formed along the direction substantially orthogonal to the screen covering portion 11. Thus, the opening area of the edge of the side surface portion 12 is secured, and the attachment work to the monitor 1 can be easily performed. In this way, when the side surface portion 12 is in a state substantially orthogonal to the screen covering portion 11, when the clean person C attaches the sterilized cover 10 to the monitor 1, the upper half of the monitor cover 10 is first placed above the monitor 1. After that, the attachment work is performed so that the unclean person D pulls the monitor cover 10. At this time, the upper half of the monitor cover 10 is hooked on the monitor 1, so the unclean person D pulled. Even in this case, the monitor cover 10 is prevented from falling off the monitor 1. The more obtuse the angle between the screen covering portion 11 and the side surface portion 12, the higher the risk that the monitor cover 10 will fall off without being caught by the monitor 1. Furthermore, when the screen covering portion 11 and the side surface portion 12 are substantially orthogonal to each other, the length of the rubber cord is adjusted and the opening area is set to a suitable size so that the screen covering portion 11 and the side surface portion 12 are more easily caught and the cover mounting workability is improved It is good to adjust to. Specifically, the opening area is slightly smaller than the screen covering portion 11, and is 75% or more and 96% or less, more preferably 80% or more and 93% or less, and preferably 85% or more with respect to the area of the screen covering portion 11. It can be adjusted to 90% or less.

  Further, the end edge of the side surface portion 12 is folded back along the extending direction of the side surface portion 12 (direction orthogonal to the screen covering portion 11), and the end portion is thermally welded 15 ′ to constitute the cylindrical bag portion 15. ing. The cylindrical bag portion 15 has the narrowed portion 13 inserted through the entire periphery along the edge portion. Furthermore, the cylindrical bag part 15 is formed with a plurality of openings 14 along the extending direction of the throttle part 13, and the throttle part 13 can be drawn and drawn from the opening part 14.

  An elastic member such as a rubber string is preferably used for the narrowing portion 13, and when it is hooked on the hook 4 to be described later, the opening of the edge portion of the side surface portion 12 is narrowed to crease the screen covering portion 11. In addition, the workability when attaching the monitor cover 10 to the monitor 1 is improved by providing elasticity.

  The monitor cover 10 is preferably made of polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide, polyethylene, polyurethane, polycarbonate, or the like. If the monitor cover 10 is composed of these materials, the screen cover 11 can be written with a water-based pen such as a skin pen, and can be easily erased and rewritten by wiping off the writing with a gauze or the like. Can do.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the monitor cover 10 configured as described above is obtained by first hooking the side surface 12 at the upper end of the monitor cover 10 on the upper end of the monitor 1 and then lowering the lower end as shown in FIG. 4. The side part 12 can be attached so as to be hooked on the lower end of the monitor 1 to perform the attaching operation. At this time, the screen display unit side of the monitor 1 can be performed by a clean person C and a clean person C such as a surgical assistant (doctor), and the back side of the monitor 1 can be performed by an unclean person D such as a clean field nurse. . The operation of hooking the side surface portion 12 of the upper end of the monitor cover 10 on the upper end of the monitor 1 is based on the storage state of the monitor cover 10 between the outside of the screen covering portion 11 and the outside of the side surface portion 12. When the cleaner C slides his hand between the screen covering portion 11 and the side surface portion 12 and hooks the side surface portion 12 so as to be folded, the cleaner C The monitor cover 10 can be covered on the monitor 1 without becoming unclean. At this time, the area of the heat seal portion 12a can be configured to be large so that the unclean person D can grip the heat seal portion 12a and easily perform the attaching operation.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the back surface portion of the monitor 1 is fixed by hooking the throttle portion 13 drawn out from the opening portion 14 to the hook 4 attached to an arbitrary place of the frame 3.

  Further, in this state, the side surface portion 12 does not cover the entire back surface of the monitor 1, and most of the back surface of the monitor 1 is exposed. By comprising in this way, the heat dissipation of the monitor 1 is not prevented.

  As mentioned above, although preferred embodiment of this invention was described, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to description of the said embodiment. Various modifications or improvements can be added to the embodiment.

  The monitor cover according to the present embodiment has been described with respect to the case where a pair of openings 14 are formed on both end sides of each side surface portion 12, but the openings 14 may be formed anywhere on the side surface portion 12. I do not care. Note that it is difficult to cause wrinkles if the openings 14 are formed at a total of four locations, one pair at each end of each side surface portion 12 positioned above and below the monitor 1.

  Further, although the case where the size of the screen covering portion 11 is approximately the same size as the screen display portion 2 of the monitor 1 has been described, the size of the screen covering portion 11 is the screen when attached to the monitor 1. If wrinkles do not occur in the covering portion 11, the size may be changed as appropriate. Note that the size of the screen covering portion 11 is preferably up to 115, more preferably up to 110, and more preferably up to 107, where the screen area of the monitor 1 is 100. When the area of the screen covering portion 11 of the monitor cover 10 and the screen of the monitor 1 is the same or small, there is a possibility that air remains in the cover when it is covered. For this reason, it is preferable that the size of the screen covering portion 11 is slightly larger than that of the monitor 1 so that no wrinkles remain.

  In addition, the monitor cover according to the present embodiment is provided on the side surface portion 12 and the screen covering portion 11 in order to prevent air from being trapped between the monitor 1 and the monitor cover when the monitor cover is attached to the monitor 1. An air vent check valve or the like may be provided at a location that does not overlap with the screen display unit 2 (a location that is not conspicuous at the screen end).

  Further, the monitor cover according to this embodiment has been described with respect to the case where the frame cover 20 is formed separately, but may be configured integrally with the monitor cover and the adhesive tape. It is apparent from the description of the scope of claims that embodiments with such changes or improvements can be included in the technical scope of the present invention.
