COMBINED DEVICE FOR PLACING A DISINFECTANT AND THE FOLLOWING COLLECTION OF USED MEDICAL NEEDLE NEEDLES

DESCRIPTION

The utility model relates to practical medicine, in particular, to a device for placing disinfectants and subsequent atraumatic removal and storage of sharp medical nozzles, in particular, medical needles of syringes.

Polyethylene and polypropylene containers for packaging, including disinfectants, in a large assortment are produced by domestic and foreign industry. They are ordinary bottles or plastic boxes with a tightly screwed cap. Of the optional accessories, only dispensers are used that perform a specific function that is not relevant to this utility model.

Specialized disposable containers of foreign manufacture (SARSTEDT, AMCOR FLEXIBLES, BECTON & DICKINSON) are also produced for the non-traumatic removal, collection and disposal of medical needles, as well as other piercing nozzles, which have a sufficiently high cost that inhibits their use, often leads to illegal reuse, dangerous manipulation of removing needles from containers, which is not provided for by the technology, and the additional cost of disinfecting them.

However, a large number of used bottles from disinfectants or other similar containers are simply disposed of as medical waste.

Often in hospitals, used containers are already used to collect and disinfect injection needles, and sometimes other sharp nozzles. However, this procedure does not provide a sufficient degree of personal injury and safety.

Known capacity for the disposal of medical needles and piercing nozzles such as Multi-Safe (trademark SARSTEDT). It is an unpressurized can of polypropylene, equipped with perforations of various shapes.

Also known is a container for storing and destroying or removing hazardous sharp objects or hazardous substances, disclosed in US Pat. No. 4,494,652. The known container has a rather complex structure including internal and external containers, a special conical closure element and lids for internal and external containers, wherein one of the two caps for the outer container is adapted, in particular, to remove syringe needles. However, this container is not intended for placement and storage of liquid or loose disinfectants. This device is quite expensive and difficult to manufacture.

The technical task of this utility model is to give universality to standard containers for filling and storing liquid or loose disinfectants with the possibility of their subsequent use for the collection, disinfection and disposal of medical needles and other sharp nozzles, i.e. creation of a device for placing disinfectants and subsequent atraumatic removal and storage of sharp medical nozzles, which is quite universal, economical, simple, easy to use and atraumatic device that can also be used to transport these medical wastes to the place of their subsequent destruction.

The problem is solved in that a combined device for placement of a disinfectant and the subsequent collection of used medical syringe needles is created, comprising a container with an inlet for placing a disinfectant therein, a lid configured to tightly close the inlet, at least one additional lid made with the possibility of its placement on the inlet with the first cover removed, means for removing medical needles of syringes placed on the back body cover.

The tool for removing medical needles of syringes can be at least one hole in the form of perforations of various shapes, made on the upper surface of the additional cover and adapted to remove the syringe needles.

In another embodiment, the tool for removing used medical syringe needles is made in the form of at least one plate of solid material attached to the additional cover, in which at least one hole with a sharp edge or sharp edges is made to break off the syringe needles.

The means for removing used medical syringe needles can also be made in the form of a device for cutting syringe needles, comprising a housing having at least one through channel extending from top to bottom, and a mechanism for cutting syringe needles, including a cutting element located inside the housing and made with the possibility of moving into the channel, an external pusher providing movement of the cutting element inside the channel, and a return element for returning the cutting element to its original position inside housing.

To solve the above problems, a combined device for disinfectant placement and subsequent collection of used medical syringe needles was also created, containing a container with an inlet for disinfectant in it, a cover made with the possibility of tightly closing the inlet, and means for removing medical syringe needles, made on the throat of a container. In this case, the means for removing medical syringe needles is at least one hole in the form of perforations of various shapes, adapted to remove syringe needles.

The container included in the device can be essentially any container suitable for storing liquid or granular disinfectants, while the shape of the container does not have any restrictions and can be essentially any. However, it is preferable that the container is sufficiently spacious and has a sufficiently wide inlet.

Thus, the utility model allows to increase the life of containers for storage of disinfectants and detergents and use them as a container for atraumatic removal, collection and disposal of medical injection needles and, if necessary, syringes and other sharp objects. This helps to optimize the system for the disposal of hazardous medical waste and used containers from disinfectants and detergents, and also allows you to provide any medical and other facilities where it is necessary to use special disinfectants with special atraumatic containers for medical needles and other piercing waste. In addition, the use of the container after the disinfectant provides primary disinfection of the needles in the container and the resistance of the container to chemical reagents.

The proposed utility model is especially suitable for use in medical institutions, since it does not require additional costs for the purchase of a special container for sharp nozzles, but uses the existing spent tank.

As indicated above, the packaging container is equipped with a special sealing cap and / or an additional cap with various shaped holes, or devices of a special design for atraumatic removal of injection needles from used syringes of various types.

A similar corresponding perforation may also be provided to the neck of the container. In this case, the device for atraumatically removing needles from syringes with a luer connection and a luer lock is part of the container itself. Modification of the throat is provided using the appropriate mold or attaching a perforated insert. In this case, the modification of the cover is not required.

The most common sharp nozzle requiring atraumatic removal is a medical needle. For removing needles from syringes with a luer connection, perforations are used that can have a different shape. In any case, the main element of the perforation is its edge or edges, for which the needle cannula engages at one or several points, or along a part of the circle. The edge may have a variable thickness. In this case, when the junction of the syringe cone with the cannula is carried out from the narrower section of the edges to the wider, the removal of the needle occurs without engagement. Needles with a luer connection can be removed by unscrewing, as with a luer lock. The luer lock needles are removed using an opening having at least two substantially parallel edges that hold the needle while turning the syringe. The distance between the edges should be close to the cross-section of the cannula of the disposable needle, which is practically the same as the diameter of the luer cone. Thus, syringes with luer connection and luer lock can be removed using universal perforations. In addition, the luer lock needles can be removed using a hole with a recess with serrated one or two edges. This recess is also suitable for luer syringes because it also provides multiple points of engagement with the protrusion of the disposable needle cannula.

The signs of this utility model will be clearer when reading the following description of non-limiting examples of its implementation with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 depicts a General view of the first variant of the device according to this utility model;

Figure 2 shows an example implementation of the second variant of the device according to the utility model with perforations on the neck of the container.

Figure 3 shows an example of a tool for removing medical needles in the form of a device for breaking off the needles of syringes;

Figure 4 shows an example of a tool for removing medical needles in the form of a device for cutting needle syringes;

Figure 1 shows a combined device for placing disinfectants and subsequent atraumatic removal and storage of sharp medical nozzles, mainly syringe needles. In one embodiment, the device includes a container 1 and two caps 2, 3, on one of which is a means for removing medical needles of syringes and pricking nozzles, made in the form of perforations 4. In a preferred embodiment, these perforations are closed with a plug 5 for safety during use. The preferred embodiment of the utility model shown relates to a container with a screwed threaded cap for securing the caps to the container. One cap is a sealing cap, which preferably provides an airtight seal when closing the container, and can be mounted on the container using gasket 6 to better insulate the container. The lid may also be secured to the container by snap-on or any known method of attaching the cover to the container.

It is also possible that the device has only one cover 3 with a plug 5 and gasket 6, which also, to a sufficient degree, provides a solution to the problem of this utility model.

In FIG. 2 shows another example of a utility model with perforation on the neck of a container. This figure shows that the task can also be solved by appropriate modification of the filler neck 7 of the tank. In this case, there is no need for an additional cover. Since the perforations allow you to remove the needles, their placement on the throat also makes it possible to use the tank for dual purposes.

Depending on the hazard class used for disinfecting the removed needles, or for other reasons, it may be necessary to close the perforations in the lid between use. You can close the perforations in various ways. A lid design with a plug 5 shown in FIG. 1 can be used, inserted or screwed into the perforation, or opening and closing the perforation of the cover when turning. The plug can be screwed onto the cover. In this case, the lid is provided with an additional thread made on the outer surface of the lid, for fixing an additional lid on it without holes, sealing the container for needles. Another example of a lid with an integrated plug is a hinged lid. The perforated lid may also be provided with a cap for closing the container between uses.

The breaking off of needles from syringes with a soldered needle in the present utility model is solved in several ways. Some types of syringes, such as SoloShot (a trademark of Becton & Dickinson), are single-use devices with a needle soldered into a cylinder. The area where the needle connects to the syringe barrel is a tube of fairly brittle polypropylene. Separation of this site can be done either by cutting, or actually breaking off. In both cases, the principle of the lever mechanism is used for this in the present utility model.

The connection area between the soldered needle and the syringe barrel is quite fragile and when it is bent, especially when there is a lever, for example, the cylinder of the syringe itself, it easily breaks off. With this in mind, a special cover is shown, shown in Fig.3. It contains a breaking plate or plates 8 of solid material on the upper surface with at least one sharp edge holding, cutting and breaking off the needle. The needle can also break off without sharp edges. Sharp edges perform more the function of holding the needle. The pentagonal shape of the plate 8, shown in Figure 3, is intended for the convenience of the user and is not related to its function, showing the direction of breaking. For safety reasons, the device can be equipped with additional devices that protect the user from the needle popping out, for example, a tube into which a syringe and a needle are inserted that are pivotally fixed at one end in the region of the plate or plates. In this case, this tube serves as a breakaway lever.

Figure 4 presents the cover for cutting the needle from the syringe with a soldered needle. The cover design is a nozzle consisting of a housing 9 in which a through channel 10 is made. The inner lumen of the channel 10 has the shape of a tube into which a syringe is inserted to cut the needle. For the convenience of the user, protrusions may be provided on the inner surface of the channel for supporting the needle when it is removed. The cutting element is made, for example, in the form of a cutting or breaking off insert with a knife 11, the outer pusher is made in the form of a lever 12, and the return element is in the form of a spring 13.

In this utility model, perforation can be performed both symmetrical and non-symmetrical, and the shape of the perforations can be used to collect not only needles, but also syringes into a given container.
