Description

The present invention relates to a container for storing a surgical pad having a pull-out suture used in a surgical operation, and a surgical pad container having a surgical pad and a container.

During surgery, it is common to use surgical pads that have a base material such as a nonwoven fabric for the purposes of stopping bleeding, absorbing fluids, and preventing damage to body tissue. After use, surgical pads must be removed from the patient's body, and some are known to have pull-out sutures attached to make them easier to remove.

Surgical pads are usually packaged together with a backing, with multiple sheets of the base material placed on top of the backing. The pull-out threads are wound around the backing to prevent them from being damaged or tangled during storage or transportation of the surgical pad.

Patent Document 1 discloses a surgical pad assembly in which the mount has one or more loose insertion portions, and the pull-out thread is loosely inserted into the loose insertion portions a total of two or more times to hold the pad on the mount.

JP 2015-77201 A

The base material body of a surgical pad needs to be soaked in saline before use. Before surgery, all surgical pads must be removed from their mounts and placed in a tray or the like, and saline must be poured into the tray or the like to soak the base material body in saline. To make preparations for surgery easier and faster, there was room for improvement in the surgical pad assembly as described in Patent Document 1.

In addition, in conventional surgical pad assemblies such as the surgical pad assembly described in Patent Document 1, the pull-out thread is wound around the backing paper to prevent the pull-out thread from being damaged or tangled during storage or transportation of the surgical pad, and the pull-out thread is therefore prone to becoming bent. If the pull-out thread becomes bent, it may become bulky during surgery and interfere with the procedure. For this reason, there is a demand for a surgical pad assembly in which the pull-out thread is less likely to become bent.

The present invention was made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a container for storing surgical pads and a container containing surgical pads that allows the base body of the surgical pad to be immersed in physiological saline without removing the surgical pad from the mount or the like on which it is attached, and that is less likely to cause creases in the pull-out thread.

The first container that has been able to solve the above problem is a container for storing a surgical pad having a base body and a pull-out thread fixed at one side to the base body, and is characterized in that it has a first container in which the base body is stored and a second container equipped with a pull-out thread fixing part to which the pull-out thread is fixed, and the first container and the second container are fixed so as to be openable and closable.

The second container that has been able to solve the above problem is a container for storing a surgical pad having a base body and a pull-out thread fixed at one side to the base body, and includes a first container in which the base body is stored, and a second container having a pull-out thread fixing part to which the pull-out thread is fixed, the first container and the second container being connected to each other by a connecting part, and the connecting part being characterized in that it has a perforation.

The container of the present invention has a plurality of pull-out thread fixing parts arranged between the substrate body and the tip of the pull-out thread, and the pull-out thread fixing parts are arranged in both the first container and the second container, and it is preferable that the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part arranged in the first container and the connection part is greater than the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part arranged in the second container and the connection part.

When the first and second containers are closed, it is preferable that the position of the pull-out thread fixing part arranged in the second container is different from the position of the pull-out thread fixing part arranged in the first container when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the bottom of the second container.

In the container of the present invention, when the first container and the second container are closed, it is preferable that the pull-out thread fixing part of the second container faces the base body.

In the container of the present invention, the first container has a bottom and an edge, the pull-out thread fixing part is a porous foam, and it is preferable that the edge of the first container and the pull-out thread fixing part are arranged around the substrate body.

When the container of the present invention is in a state where the first container and the second container are closed, it is preferable that the surgical pad is visible when the inside is viewed from the outside.

In the containers of the present invention, the first container and the second container each have a bottom and an edge, and it is preferable that at least one of the bottoms of the first container and the second container has a number inscribed thereon.

The surgical pad container that has been able to solve the above problem is a surgical pad container that has a substrate body and a pull-out thread fixed at one side to the substrate body, and a container for storing the surgical pad, the container has a pull-out thread fixing part to which the pull-out thread is fixed, the pull-out thread fixing part is an elastic body, the pull-out thread fixing part has a first wall surface and a second wall surface, and has a slit through which the pull-out thread is inserted, and the distance between the first wall surface and the second wall surface at the entrance side of the slit is smaller than the diameter of the pull-out thread.

The surgical pad container of the present invention has a first container in which the base body is stored, and a second container equipped with a pull-out thread fixing part and having a bottom and an edge, and it is preferable that the deepest part of the cut is closer to the bottom than to the edge.

According to the first container of the present invention, by having a first container in which the base body is stored and a second container having a pull-out thread fixing part, physiological saline can be poured into the container with the surgical pad stored therein, and the base body can be easily and quickly immersed in physiological saline. In addition, by fixing the first container and the second container so that they can be opened and closed, it is possible to prevent the pull-out thread from becoming bent when the surgical pad is stored in the container.

According to the second container of the present invention, like the first container of the present invention, it has a first container in which the base body is stored and a second container equipped with a pull-out thread fixing part, and by pouring saline into the container with the surgical pad stored therein, the base body can be easily and quickly immersed in the saline. In addition, since the first container and the second container are connected to each other by a connecting part, and the connecting part has a perforation, the connecting part can be folded along the perforation, and it is possible to control the folding position of the container, and it is possible to prevent the pull-out thread from becoming folded.

According to the surgical pad container of the present invention, by pouring physiological saline into the container that contains the surgical pad while the surgical pad is stored, the base material can be easily and quickly soaked in physiological saline. In addition, the surgical pad container is an elastic body that has a first wall surface and a second wall surface, has a slit through which the pull-out thread is inserted, and has a pull-out thread fixing part in which the distance between the first wall surface and the second wall surface at the entrance side of the slit is smaller than the diameter of the pull-out thread, thereby making it difficult for the pull-out thread to fall off.

The container and the container with surgical pads according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples, and it is possible to make appropriate modifications within the scope of the above and below mentioned aims, and all such modifications are included in the technical scope of the present invention.

First, we will explain the first container of the present invention.

Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the container 1 according to the present invention in an open state, Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the container 1 in a closed state, and Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the container 1 shown in Figure 2 taken along line III-III. As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the container 1 is a container 1 for storing a surgical pad 100 having a base body 110 and a pull-out thread 120 fixed at one side to the base body 110, and has a first container 11 in which the base body 110 is stored, and a second container 12 having a pull-out thread fixing part 20 to which the pull-out thread 120 is fixed, and the first container 11 and the second container 12 are fixed so as to be openable and closable.

By storing the base body 110 in the first container 11, by pouring saline into the first container 11, the base body 110 can be immersed in saline while the surgical pad 100 is stored in the container 1. This eliminates the need to prepare a separate tray or the like for immersing the surgical pad 100 in saline, and to remove the surgical pad 100 from the container 1 and transfer it to the tray or the like in preparation for using the surgical pad 100 in surgery. This makes it possible to easily and quickly prepare the surgical pad 100 before surgery.

The surgical pad 100 is a protective sheet that is soaked in saline during surgical procedures such as neurosurgery, and is used to prevent damage to body tissue. The substrate body 110 of the surgical pad 100 is made of, for example, medical gauze made of multiple laminated layers of fabric such as nonwoven fabric. The surgical pad 100 can be used to stop bleeding, wipe away body fluids such as blood, and compress organs.

The substrate body 110 can be not only medical gauze, but also any material that is unlikely to damage body tissue. It is desirable for the substrate body 110 to have a certain degree of flexibility. Examples of materials that make up the substrate body 110 include natural fibers such as cotton, regenerated fibers such as rayon, chemical fibers such as polyester, and sponges made of synthetic resins such as polyurethane. The shape of the substrate body 110 can be, for example, a rectangle with a width of 5 mm to 30 mm and a length of 5 mm to 60 mm.

Although not shown, the substrate body 110 may contain a detectable object that can be remotely detected by an external detection device, such as an X-ray contrast thread or an IC tag. The X-ray contrast thread is a chemical fiber containing barium sulfate or the like that is difficult for X-rays to penetrate, and the IC tag is a very small electronic device that works by receiving radio waves and can be read by an IC tag reader. By containing a detectable object in the substrate body 110, it becomes possible to detect the substrate body 110 from outside the body even after surgery has ended, and it is possible to check whether any surgical pads 100 remain in the body.

The object to be detected by the base body 110 is preferably an X-ray contrast thread. One method for incorporating an X-ray contrast thread into the base body 110 is, for example, to use an X-ray contrast thread for at least one of the upper and lower sewing threads when sewing the pull-out thread 120 to the base body 110 with a sewing machine. By using an X-ray contrast thread for at least one of the upper and lower sewing threads, there is no need to perform a dedicated operation for attaching the X-ray contrast thread, and manufacturing costs can be reduced.

The withdrawal thread 120 is a thread attached to the base material body 110 in order to safely and reliably remove the base material body 110 from the patient's body. The withdrawal thread 120 is preferably made of a strong and flexible fiber. Examples of fibers that make up the withdrawal thread 120 include natural fibers such as cotton, regenerated fibers such as rayon, and chemical fibers such as polyester and polypropylene. The withdrawal thread 120 can have a diameter of 0.2 mm to 2 mm and a length of 5 cm to 20 cm, for example.

It is preferable that the withdrawal thread 120 contains an X-ray contrast thread. By containing an X-ray contrast thread, the withdrawal thread 120 can be confirmed under X-ray fluoroscopy. As a result, it is possible to confirm under X-ray fluoroscopy after the end of surgery whether the surgical pad 100 is left inside the body.

The container 1 is for storing the surgical pad 100, and when the surgical pad 100 is stored in the container 1, it is possible to put liquid such as physiological saline solution inside. Examples of materials that make up the container 1 include synthetic resins such as polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene, polyimide, acrylic, nylon, and polystyrene. Of these, it is preferable that the material that makes up the container 1 is polypropylene. By using polypropylene as the material that makes up the container 1, the strength of the container 1 can be increased.

The average thickness of container 1 is preferably 0.1 mm or more, more preferably 0.15 mm or more, and even more preferably 0.2 mm or more. By setting the lower limit of the average thickness of container 1 within the above range, the strength of container 1 can be increased, and liquid such as saline is less likely to leak out when placed inside. Furthermore, the average thickness of container 1 is preferably 1 mm or less, more preferably 0.8 mm or less, and even more preferably 0.6 mm or less. By setting the upper limit of the average thickness of container 1 within the above range, container 1 becomes lightweight.

The container 1 has a first container 11 in which the base material body 110 is stored, and a second container 12 equipped with a pull-out thread fixing part 20 to which the pull-out thread 120 is fixed. To fix the pull-out thread 120 to the pull-out thread fixing part 20, for example, the pull-out thread fixing part 20 has a notch, and the pull-out thread 120 is hooked on this notch. Since the base material body 110 is stored in the first container 11 and the pull-out thread 120 is fixed to the second container 12 by the pull-out thread fixing part 20, the pull-out thread 120 can be fixed to the container 1 in a state where it is unlikely to be damaged or tangled, without having to wrap the pull-out thread around a mount to prevent the pull-out thread from being damaged or tangled, as in the conventional surgical pad assembly.

It is preferable that the material constituting the first container 11 is the same as the material constituting the second container 12. By using the same material for the first container 11 and the second container 12, it is possible to prevent either the first container 11 or the second container 12 from being scratched or broken when the first container 11 or the second container 12 is closed, and it is possible to increase the durability of the container 1.

The material constituting the pull-out thread fixing portion 20 is preferably an elastic body having elasticity, such as synthetic resins such as polyurethane and polyethylene, and natural rubber.

The first container 11 and the second container 12 are fixed so as to be openable and closable. Specifically, the first container 11 and the second container 12 are configured so that, for example, the second container 12 can be closed to serve as a lid for the first container 11, and the second container 12 can be moved so that the first container 11 opens so that the surgical pad 100 and the like can be stored in and removed from the first container 11. Since the first container 11 and the second container 12 are fixed so as to be openable and closable, as shown in FIG. 2, the container 1 can be folded so that the first container 11 and the second container 12 overlap each other, thereby making the container 1 smaller in size. As a result, space is saved when storing and transporting the surgical pad 100 stored in the container 1.

To fix the first container 11 and the second container 12 so that they can be opened and closed, for example, the connection between the first container 11 and the second container 12 may be a hinge structure, the first container 11 and the second container 12 may be connected with a separate member having high flexibility, or the first container 11 and the second container 12 may be fixed with a clip-shaped member while overlapping each other. Among these, it is preferable that the connection between the first container 11 and the second container 12 is a hinge structure. By fixing the first container 11 and the second container 12 so that they can be opened and closed with a hinge structure, the durability of the connection between the first container 11 and the second container 12 is increased, and the first container 11 and the second container 12 can be opened and closed repeatedly.

At least one of the first container 11 and the second container 12 preferably has a closed state maintaining mechanism so that the first container 11 and the second container 12 can be maintained in a closed state. Examples of the closed state maintaining mechanism include a configuration in which the first container 11 and the second container 12 each have a recess and a protrusion, and the recess and the protrusion are fitted together, a configuration in which one of the first container 11 and the second container 12 has a cut and the other of the first container 11 and the second container 12 is hooked, and a configuration in which the first container 11 and the second container 12 each have a cut or notch and the cut or notch of the first container 11 and the second container 12 is hooked. Among them, it is preferable that the first container 11 and the second container 12 each have a recess and a protrusion. Since the first container 11 and the second container 12 each have a recess and a protrusion, it is possible to easily maintain the first container 11 and the second container 12 in a closed state by fitting the recess and the protrusion together, and it is also easy to release the closed state and open the first container 11 and the second container 12.

When the first container 11 and the second container 12 each have a recess and a protrusion, the first container 11 and the second container 12 may each have both a recess and a protrusion, or the first container 11 may have a recess and the second container 12 may have a protrusion, but as shown in Figures 1 to 3, it is preferable that the first container 11 has a protrusion 41 and the second container 12 has a recess 42. By having the first container 11 have the protrusion 41 and the second container 12 have the recess 42, when the second container 12 is moved to cover the first container 11, it becomes easier to close the first container 11 and the second container 12 and engage the protrusion 41 and the recess 42.

It is preferable that the cross-sectional shape of the convex portion 41 is circular and the cross-sectional shape of the concave portion 42 is polygonal in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the container 1. Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the cross-sectional shape of the convex portion 41 is round and the cross-sectional shape of the concave portion 42 is square. By having the cross-sectional shape of the convex portion 41 be circular and the cross-sectional shape of the concave portion 42 be polygonal, it is possible to make it easier for the convex portion 41 and the concave portion 42 to fit together.

Next, we will explain the second container of the present invention. In the following explanation, parts that overlap with the above explanation will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 1, the container 1 is a container for storing a surgical pad 100 having a base body 110 and a pull thread 120 fixed at one side to the base body 110, and includes a first container 11 in which the base body 110 is stored and a second container 12 having a pull thread fixing part 20 to which the pull thread 120 is fixed, and the first container 11 and the second container 12 are connected to each other by a connection part 30, and the connection part 30 has a perforation.

The first container 11 and the second container 12 are connected to each other by the connection part 30, and the connection part 30 has a perforation, so that the connection part 30 can be folded along the perforation. In other words, since the container 1 is folded along the perforation of the connection part 30, it is possible to control the folding position of the container 1. Therefore, while miniaturizing the container 1, the folding position of the container 1 is clear, so that when the container 1 is folded, it is possible to prevent the pull-out thread 120 from being folded. In addition, since the connection part 30 has a perforation, the first container 11 and the second container 12 can be easily separated along the perforation. Therefore, the container 1 can be made smaller when disposing of the container 1 after use, and the volume of waste can be reduced.

Examples of the configuration of the connection part 30 include a hinge-like structure and a flat plate-like structure. Of these, it is preferable that the connection part 30 has a hinge-like structure. When the connection part 30 has a hinge-like structure, the first container 11 and the second container 12 can be easily opened and closed, and the first container 11 and the second container 12 can be easily maintained in an open state and in a closed state.

1, a plurality of pull-out thread fixing parts 20 are arranged between the substrate body 110 and the tip of the pull-out thread 120, and the pull-out thread fixing parts 20 are arranged in both the first container 11 and the second container 12, respectively. It is preferable that the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 21 arranged in the first container 11 and the connection part 30 is greater than the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 22 arranged in the second container 12 and the connection part 30. Since the pull-out thread fixing parts 20 are arranged in the first container 11 and the second container 12, respectively, and there are a plurality of pull-out thread fixing parts 20, the pull-out thread 120 can be sufficiently fixed to the container 1, and the effect of preventing the pull-out thread 120 from being damaged or entangled can be enhanced. In addition, the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 21 and the connection part 30 arranged in the first container 11 is greater than the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 22 and the connection part 30 arranged in the second container 12, so that the pull-out thread 120 can be fixed to the first container 11 at a position close to the base body 110 in the first container 11. Therefore, when the container 1 is transported with the surgical pad 100 stored in it, the surgical pad 100 is prevented from moving significantly within the container 1, and the pull-out thread 120 is less likely to become tangled or damaged.

The distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 21 and the connection part 30 arranged in the first container 11 is preferably 1.3 times or more, more preferably 1.5 times or more, and even more preferably 1.7 times or more, of the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 22 and the connection part 30 arranged in the second container 12. By setting the lower limit of the ratio between the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 21 and the connection part 30 of the first container 11 and the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 22 and the connection part 30 of the second container 12 to the above range, the substrate body 110 of the surgical pad 100 is prevented from moving significantly in the first container 11, and the pull-out thread 120 is less likely to be entangled and damaged. In addition, the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 21 and the connection part 30 arranged in the first container 11 is preferably 3 times or less, more preferably 2.5 times or less, and even more preferably 2 times or less, of the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 22 and the connection part 30 arranged in the second container 12. By setting the upper limit of the ratio between the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 21 and the connection part 30 of the first container 11 and the distance between the pull-out thread fixing part 22 and the connection part 30 of the second container 12 within the above range, the pull-out thread 120 is less likely to bend within the first container 11 when the surgical pad 100 is stored in the container 1, and the pull-out thread 120 can be prevented from becoming tangled or damaged.

As shown in FIG. 1, the number of the pull-out thread fixing parts 22 arranged in the second container 12 is preferably greater than the number of the pull-out thread fixing parts 21 arranged in the first container 11. The base body 110 is stored in the first container 11, and the pull-out thread 120 is stored longer in the second container 12 than in the first container 11. Therefore, since the number of the pull-out thread fixing parts 22 arranged in the second container 12 is greater than the number of the pull-out thread fixing parts 21 arranged in the first container 11, the pull-out thread 120 of the surgical pad 100 stored in the container 1 can be sufficiently fixed to the second container 12. Therefore, the pull-out thread 120 is less likely to bend in the container 1, and the effect of preventing the pull-out thread 120 from becoming entangled or damaged can be enhanced.

2 and 3, when the first container 11 and the second container 12 are closed, it is preferable that the position of the pull-out thread fixing part 22 arranged in the second container 12 is different from the position of the pull-out thread fixing part 21 arranged in the first container 11 when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the bottom 12a of the second container 12. By making the position of the pull-out thread fixing part 22 arranged in the second container 12 different from the position of the pull-out thread fixing part 21 arranged in the first container 11, the position of the pull-out thread fixing part 20 differs when the first container 11 and the second container 12 are closed, and it is possible to prevent the pull-out thread 120 from bending, becoming tangled, or being damaged when the surgical pad 100 is stored in the container 1.

2 and 3, when the first container 11 and the second container 12 are closed, the pull-out thread fixing part 22 of the second container 12 preferably faces the substrate body 110. By the pull-out thread fixing part 22 of the second container 12 facing the substrate body 110, the pull-out thread fixing part 22 can prevent the substrate body 110 from moving in the thickness direction of the container 1. In other words, even if the container 1 shakes in the thickness direction of the container 1 during transportation of the container 1, the pull-out thread fixing part 22 comes into contact with the substrate body 110, preventing the substrate body 110 from moving significantly. As a result, the pull-out thread 120 fixed to the substrate body 110 is also prevented from moving, and the pull-out thread 120 can be prevented from becoming tangled or damaged.

1 and 3, the first container 11 has a bottom 11a and an edge 11b, the pull-out thread fixing part 21 is a porous foam, and it is preferable that the edge 11b of the first container 11 and the pull-out thread fixing part 21 are arranged around the substrate body 110. By arranging the edge 11b of the first container 11 and the pull-out thread fixing part 21 around the substrate body 110, a space for placing the substrate body 110 can be secured in the first container 11. By putting a liquid such as physiological saline into the space for placing the substrate body 110, it is possible to sufficiently immerse the substrate body 110 in physiological saline in the container 1. Therefore, there is no need to prepare a bat or the like for immersing the substrate body 110 in physiological saline, or to transfer the surgical pad 100 to the bat, and the surgical pad 100 can be easily and quickly prepared before use.

In addition, since the pull-out thread fixing part 21 is a porous foam, the pull-out thread fixing part 21 is flexible. Therefore, even if the base material body 110 comes into contact with the pull-out thread fixing part 21 when the container 1 is shaken, the base material body 110 can be prevented from bending or wrinkling.

It is preferable that not only the pull-out thread fixing part 21 arranged in the first container 11, but also the pull-out thread fixing part 22 arranged in the second container 12 is a porous foam. By making the pull-out thread fixing part 20 (21, 22) a porous foam, the flexibility of the pull-out thread fixing part 20 is increased, making it easier to hook the pull-out thread 120 to the pull-out thread fixing part 20 and easier to remove the pull-out thread 120 from the pull-out thread fixing part 20.

Examples of porous foams include foamed polyethylene, foamed polyurethane, and polystyrene foam. Of these, the porous foam is preferably foamed polyethylene. In other words, the pull-out thread fixing part 20 is preferably foamed polyethylene. By making the pull-out thread fixing part 20 out of foamed polyethylene, it is possible to achieve both strength and flexibility of the pull-out thread fixing part 20, and it is possible to repeatedly attach and detach the pull-out thread 120 to the pull-out thread fixing part 20.

When the first container 11 and the second container 12 are closed, it is preferable that the surgical pads 100 are visible when looking inside from the outside. By being able to see the surgical pads 100 from the outside when the first container 11 and the second container 12 are closed, the internal condition of the container 1, such as the number of surgical pads 100 stored in the container 1, can be confirmed from the outside.

When the first container 11 and the second container 12 are closed, the surgical pad 100 can be made visible from the outside by, for example, making at least a part of the container 1 transparent, or by drilling a hole in a part of the second container 12. Of these, it is preferable to make the first container 11 and the second container 12 transparent. By making the first container 11 and the second container 12 transparent, it becomes easier to check the internal state of the container 1 from the outside, and the convenience of the container 1 can be improved.

As shown in FIG. 3, the first container 11 and the second container 12 each have a bottom 11a, 12a and edges 11b, 12b, and although not shown, it is preferable that at least one of the bottom 11a of the first container 11 and the bottom 12a of the second container 12 has a number inscribed thereon. By inscribing a number on at least one of the bottom 11a of the first container 11 and the bottom 12a of the second container 12, this number can be used to count the number of surgical pads 100, and the number of surgical pads 100 stored in the container 1 can be easily confirmed.

In addition to numbers, at least one of the bottom 11a of the first container 11 and the bottom 12a of the second container 12 may have dot-like or line-like marks 60 as shown in FIG. 1. The numbers or other marks 60 on the bottom 11a of the first container 11 and the bottom 12a of the second container 12 may be printed or may be represented by projections and recesses.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, it is preferable that at least one of the edge 11b of the first container 11 and the edge 12b of the second container 12 has a notch 11c, 12c. By having at least one of the edge 11b of the first container 11 and the edge 12b of the second container 12 have a notch 11c, 12c, it is easy to apply force to the first container 11 and the second container 12 when opening them from a closed state, and they can be opened easily.

The surgical pad container of the present invention will be described below. In the following explanation, parts that overlap with the above explanation will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 1, the surgical pad container includes a surgical pad 100 having a base body 110 and a pull-out thread 120 fixed at one side to the base body 110, and a container 1 for storing the surgical pad 100. The container 1 has a pull-out thread fixing part 20 to which the pull-out thread 120 is fixed, and the pull-out thread fixing part 20 is an elastic body. As shown in FIG. 4, the pull-out thread fixing part 20 has a first wall surface 51 and a second wall surface 52, and has a cut 50 through which the pull-out thread 120 is inserted. The distance D1 between the first wall surface 51 and the second wall surface 52 at the entrance side of the cut 50 is smaller than the diameter D2 of the pull-out thread 120.

As shown in FIG. 4, the first wall surface 51 and the second wall surface 52 refer to the two wall surfaces that form the notch 50 of the pull-out thread fixing part 20. Since the pull-out thread fixing part 20 has the notch 50, the pull-out thread 120 can be fixed to the pull-out thread fixing part 20 by inserting the pull-out thread 120 into the notch 50.

The distance D1 between the first wall surface 51 and the second wall surface 52 at the entrance side of the notch 50 is smaller than the diameter D2 of the pull-out thread 120, so that the first wall surface 51 and the second wall surface 52 come into contact with the outer surface of the pull-out thread 120, making it difficult for the pull-out thread 120 to fall off from the pull-out thread fixing part 20. On the other hand, since the pull-out thread fixing part 20 is an elastic body, when a force is applied, such as by pulling the pull-out thread 120, the notch 50 of the pull-out thread fixing part 20 is deformed, and the pull-out thread 120 can be easily removed from the pull-out thread fixing part 20.

The distance D1 between the first wall surface 51 and the second wall surface 52 at the entrance side of the slit 50 is preferably 70% or less of the diameter D2 of the pull-out thread 120, more preferably 50% or less, and even more preferably 30% or less. By setting the upper limit of the ratio of the distance D1 to the diameter D2 within the above range, the pull-out thread 120 can be in sufficient contact with the first wall surface 51 and the second wall surface 52 when the pull-out thread 120 is inserted into the slit 50, making it difficult for the pull-out thread 120 to come off the pull-out thread fixing part 20. The lower limit of the ratio of the distance D1 to the diameter D2 is not particularly limited, but can be, for example, 0.1% or more, 0.5% or more, or 1% or more.

As shown in FIG. 1, the device has a first container 11 in which the base body 110 is stored, and a second container 12 equipped with a pull-out thread fixing part 22 and having a bottom 12a and an edge part 12b. As shown in FIG. 4, it is preferable that the deepest part 53 of the cut 50 is closer to the bottom 12a than the edge part 12b. By having the deepest part 53 of the cut 50 closer to the bottom 12a than the edge part 12b, when the pull-out thread 120 is inserted into the pull-out thread fixing part 20, the distance between the entrance of the cut 50 and the pull-out thread 120 can be increased, making it difficult for the pull-out thread 120 to fall off from the pull-out thread fixing part 20.

As described above, the first container of the present invention is a container for storing a surgical pad having a base body and a pull-out thread fixed at one side to the base body, and includes a first container in which the base body is stored and a second container equipped with a pull-out thread fixing part to which the pull-out thread is fixed, and the first container and the second container are fixed so as to be openable and closable. By having a first container in which the base body is stored and a second container equipped with a pull-out thread fixing part, it is possible to pour saline into the container with the surgical pad stored therein, and it is possible to easily and quickly immerse the base body in saline. In addition, by fixing the first container and the second container so as to be openable and closable, it is possible to prevent the pull-out thread from becoming bent when the surgical pad is stored in the container.

The second container of the present invention is a container for storing a surgical pad having a base body and a pull-out thread fixed at one side to the base body, and includes a first container in which the base body is stored and a second container having a pull-out thread fixing part to which the pull-out thread is fixed, and the first container and the second container are connected to each other by a connecting part, and the connecting part has a perforation. By having the first container in which the base body is stored and the second container having the pull-out thread fixing part, the base body can be easily and quickly immersed in the saline by putting saline into the container with the surgical pad stored therein. In addition, since the first container and the second container are connected to each other by a connecting part and the connecting part has a perforation, the connecting part can be folded along the perforation, and it is possible to control the folding position of the container, making it difficult for the pull-out thread to develop a crease.

The surgical pad container of the present invention is a surgical pad container having a surgical pad having a base body and a pull-out thread fixed at one side to the base body, and a container for storing the surgical pad, the container having a pull-out thread fixing part to which the pull-out thread is fixed, the pull-out thread fixing part being an elastic body, the pull-out thread fixing part having a first wall surface and a second wall surface, and having a slit through which the pull-out thread is inserted, the distance between the first wall surface and the second wall surface at the entrance side of the slit is smaller than the diameter of the pull-out thread. By pouring physiological saline into the container for storing the surgical pad with the surgical pad stored therein, it becomes possible to easily and quickly soak the base body in physiological saline. In addition, the surgical pad container is an elastic body that has a first wall surface and a second wall surface, has a slit through which the pull-out thread is inserted, and has a pull-out thread fixing part in which the distance between the first wall surface and the second wall surface at the entrance side of the slit is smaller than the diameter of the pull-out thread, making it difficult for the pull-out thread to fall off.
