The present invention relates to a sterile acupuncture needle package technology, in particular to a package for disposable coated acupuncture needle.
In prior art, the package technology of sterile acupuncture needle is the acupuncture needle is packaged in plastic bubble cap with special dialyzing paper or aluminum foil and sterilization is conducted via high-energy electron or isotope or high-energy electron; the defects are that acupuncture needles are packaged in the plastic bubble cap separately, when in use, it should be unsealed separately, the efficiency is low and it cannot be conveniently taken for use; or multiple acupuncture needles are packaged in the same plastic bubble cap and unsealed times can be reduced, however, a user may contaminate the other needles when taking, and the sterile operation is not facilitated.
For above problems, the present invention proposes a package for a disposable coated acupuncture needle, wherein the package is made up of disposable coated acupuncture needles (1), a packaging box (2) and a sealed bag (3).
The technical scheme of the disposable coated acupuncture needles (1) is described as Chinese patent application no. 200410104090.5; the package box (2) is generally made of polyethylene, polypropylene or other suitable medical packaging plastics; the sealed bag (3) is generally made of metal foil, plastic or al compound packing film; the package box (2) is made up of a box body (4), a needle support board (5) and a support (6); the box body (4) is provided with a groove (7) or a snap joint (8) or an embedded shaft (17) and a support connecting device (9); the box body (4) is embedded with the needle support board (5) via the groove (7) or the snap joint (8), or the box body (4) is embedded with an embedded hole (19) on the needle support board (5) via the embedded shaft (17); a needle embedding device (10) is arranged on the needle support board (5); an acupuncture needle handle (13) is simply fixed by the needle embedding device (10) in the form of an embedded clamp (11) or an embedded groove (12); the support (6) is provided with a box body connecting device (14); the box body (4) and the support (6) are connected in the combination mode of shaft and hole through the support connecting device (9) and the box body connecting device (14), such that the support (6) can constitute the structure of the packaging box (2) with the box body (4) by transposition; the support (6) can also expose the acupuncture needle handle (13) via transposition, and support the box body (4) for conducting sterile operation; the packaging box (2) containing the disposable coated acupuncture needles (1) adopts a sealed bag (3) to be used as vacuum packaging; for convenient unsealing, the sealing place of one end of the sealed bag (3) is provided with a Y-shaped or V-shaped unsealing notch (15); the unsealing notch (15) end of the packaged box (2) is provided with a drawing strap (16), when the unsealing notch (15) is torn off, the exposed drawing strap (16) is pulled, such that the packaging box (2) in the sealed bag (3) can be pulled out conveniently, and the location of above pair holes and shafts can be exchanged.
A vacuum packaging method may be used in the package to seal the packaging box containing the acupuncture needles, so as to perform sterilization via high-energy electron or isotope irradiation. When in use, the seal bag (3) is torn off, a drawing strap (16) is pulled so as to pull out the package box (2), a support (6) is folded to expose an acupuncture needle handle (13), and then the disposable coated acupuncture needle (1) can be used for conducting sterile operation.
The present invention has the advantages:
1. multiple acupuncture needles can be packaged in the same package box and can be conveniently taken for use; a user can less contaminate the other needles when taking and using a small number of acupuncture needles in the package box, and the sterile operation is facilitated.
2. the coated acupuncture needles are embedded on the needle support board (5), and the sealed bag (3) made up of plastic film or plastic composite film is used as vacuum packaging, such that it has isolation effect as general sealed package, and the film of coated acupuncture needles difficult to be packaged and fixed and the whole coated acupuncture needles can be evenly, smoothly and properly packaged and fixed, which can avoid displacement and disorder of product in transportation process due to improper packaging, and avoid the sharp point of a needle becoming blunt or curving due to collision.
3. the box body (4) and the support (6) are connected via the support connecting device (9), such that the support (6) can constitute the structure of the packaging box (2) with the box body (4) by transposition; the support (6) can also expose the acupuncture needle handle (13) via transposition, and support the box body (4) for conducting sterile operation, which can increase the technical level and efficiency of sterile operation.
In which: (1): disposable coated acupuncture needles; (2): packaging box; (3): sealed bag; (4): box body; (5): needle support board; (6): support; (7): groove; (8): snap joint; (9): support connecting device; (10): needle embedding device; (11): embedding clamp; (12): embedding groove; (13); acupuncture needle handle; (14): box body connecting device; (15): unsealing notch; (16): drawing strap; (17): embedding shaft; and (18): embedding hole.
The present invention is further described with reference to drawings and embodiments.
