1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a container for syringes, and in particular to a container for disposable radiotherapy syringes.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Various diseases can be cured and postponed by suitable medical procedures. Cancer is one of the top ten causes of death. In order to treat a cancer patient, medical procedures have to be performed in an isolated and sterilized manner, thereby preventing the patient from suffering secondary infections.
Medications used for treating cancer may include radiation treatments, toxic medications or chemotherapy drugs, which are delivered using syringes in a sterilized environment to thereby prevent against secondary infection during its preparation and injection. However, health care systems are different in each country. For example, medical treatment and pharmaceutical dispensing may be separated, as in the United States of America. That is, after a doctor writes a prescription, a pharmacist can load the medication into a syringe. The preparation of such medications has to be completed in an sterile environment. Then, the pharmacist may inject the medication into the patient.
However, the medication is not well isolated from external air before its injection. As a result, the patient may suffer from secondary infection upon receiving the injection. Therefore, the Inventor proposes an antibacterial container, whereby the needles can be protected and isolated in a sterilized manner.
Aspects of the present invention provide a container for disposable needles used for the delivery of radiotherapy medication (i.e., medication that employs radioisotopes for therapeutic purposes), which includes an antibacterial foam box formed with an accommodating trough. Peripheral surfaces of the accommodating trough are provided with a plurality of vertical grooves spaced at intervals. The top surface of the antibacterial foam box is formed with a horizontal lip. One side of the lip is provided with a descending portion. The lip is covered with a sealing film. With this structure, the spaced grooves stably position the needles in the accommodating trough aligned with each other. After the sealing film covers the lip, the needles are protected and isolated in a sterilized manner.
An object of the present invention is to provide a container for disposable radiation medication needles, in which the grooves formed on the peripheral walls of the accommodating trough of the antibacterial foam box form a waved construction.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a container for disposable radiation medication needles, in which one side of the lip formed on the top surface of the accommodating trough of the antibacterial foam box is provided with a descending portion. The descending portion is provided with an inclination angle.

The antibacterial foamed box 10 is substantially formed into a rectangular box, in which an accommodating trough 100 is formed. The upper portion of the accommodating trough 100 is wider than its lower portion. The peripheral walls of the accommodating trough 100 are formed with a plurality of grooves 101 spaced at intervals to form a waved construction. The top surface of the accommodating trough 100 is formed with a horizontal lip 102. One side of the lip 102 is formed into a descending portion 103. The descending portion 103 is formed with an inclination angle. The needles 12 are received in the accommodating trough 100 with the front and rear ends of the needles 12 lodged between the grooves 101 of two opposites surfaces of the accommodating trough 100. After the needles 12 are received in the accommodating trough 100, the sealing film 11 covers the lip 102 formed on the top surface of the accommodating trough 100. The sealing film 11 can be removed from the antibacterial foamed box 10 quickly by means of the descending portion 103. The sealing film 11 is used to isolate and protect the needles 12 from the external air.
The sealing film 11 is a transparent plastic film covering the horizontal lip 102 on the top surface of the accommodating trough 100 of the antibacterial foamed box 10. The sealing film 11 is used to isolate the needles 12 from the bacteria and prevent against the leakage of the medications. By means of the container 1 of the present invention, the patients can be treated in a more sterilized manner.
