RU234703U1 - Device for putting on surgical gloves - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to medicine, namely to medical equipment, and can be used for automatic donning of surgeons' gloves in the operating unit. The device operates in such a way that after creating a vacuum in the cavity of a transparent glass flask without sharp edges with a glass insert containing perforations repeating the contours of a stretched surgical glove, the pre-stretched glove fixed on a hinged fastener on the surface of the glass flask is straightened, which allows the surgeon to don the glove without the participation of an operating nurse with a high level of glove fit quality. The device has a pressure sensor for monitoring the vacuum inside the flask, a pump for creating a low-pressure area, an air filter for preventing the accumulation of fine particles, an electric valve for monitoring the air supply, an electronic control unit integrating the operation of the device, LED indication for ease of use, a lid with a rubberized bottom preventing fine particles from entering the cavity of the flask, as well as a laser presence sensor allowing you to control the presence of the surgeon's hand in the device.

Description

The utility model relates to medicine, namely to medical equipment, and can be used for automatic donning of surgeons' gloves in the operating room.

A known device is a device for lifting and placing gloves [1], but it is bulky and unsuitable for everyday use. In addition, this device requires significant material investment, which is determined by the large number of components.

There is also a device that works by pressing a foot on a pedal [2], which complicates its operation. In addition, this device is inferior in design to its competitors, which may be an obstacle to widespread implementation in production.

In common practice, there are no facts of implementation of these utility models, which suggests their practical unsuitability.

The objectives of the utility model are to create a device for automating the process of putting on surgical gloves, which reduces the time of preoperative preparation of medical personnel and improves the quality of putting on gloves.

The essence of the proposed device is that it has a transparent glass flask without sharp edges, which contains a glass insert repeating the contours of a stretched surgical glove and containing perforations, has a pressure sensor measuring the pressure in the glass flask, sends a signal to the electronic control unit that turns off the pump, contains a pump pumping air out of the glass flask, has an air filter trapping fine particles, an electric valve connected to the electronic control unit that starts air in the glass flask, contains an LED indicator accompanied by an audible signal and controlled by the electronic control unit, contains the electronic control unit itself that optimizes the operation of the device and is implemented on the basis of a microcontroller, has a lid with a rubberized bottom that ensures adhesion to the walls of the glass flask, preventing fine particles from entering the device, contains a hinged fastener for the surgical glove on the surface of the glass flask, eliminating overstretching of the surgical glove, has a laser hand presence sensor in the device.

Technical result

The technical result is that the device for putting on surgical gloves reduces the time of preoperative preparation of medical personnel.

The device is used as follows:

After creating a vacuum in the cavity of a transparent glass flask without sharp edges with a glass insert containing perforations repeating the contours of a stretched surgical glove, the pre-stretched glove fixed on a hinged fastener on the surface of the glass flask is straightened. The device has a pressure sensor for monitoring the vacuum inside the flask, a pump for creating a low-pressure area, an air filter for preventing the accumulation of fine particles, an electric valve for controlling the air supply, an electronic control unit integrating the operation of the device, LED indication for ease of use, a lid with a rubberized bottom preventing fine particles from entering the cavity of the flask, as well as a laser presence sensor allowing you to control the presence of the surgeon's hand in the device.

Example

In the operating room, after the nurse put on the gloves, the glove was put on the device for putting on surgical gloves. After connecting the device to the power source, a vacuum was created in the cavity of the glass flask. The straightened glove became convenient for the surgeon to put on. The surgeon immersed his hand in the glass flask and after putting on the glove, he removed his hand from the device with a latex glove that fits perfectly to the hand and wrist.
