Description
- The present application is a continuation-in-part application of United States provisional patent application, serial No. 60/453,474, filed Mar. 8, 2004, for DENTAL MIRROR SCRATCH RESISTANT STERILIZING BAG, by CINDY J. NATAY-CURLEY, included by reference herein and for which benefit of the priority date is hereby claimed.
- The present invention relates to self-seal sterilizing bags, and, more particularly, to a dual compartment dental mirror scratch resistant sterilizing bag for allowing dental mirrors to be sterilized for later use
- It can be appreciated that self-seal sterilizing bags have been in use for years. Typically, self-seal sterilizing bags comprise one compartment for holding dental instrument set-ups, that include the dental mirror(S), during sterilization and for the instruments storing in a sterile condition following the sterilization process.
- A problem exists with conventional one compartment self-seal sterilizing bags. When dental set-ups are packaged to be sterilized, the whole set-up is placed in a single compartment sterilizing bag. This normally includes one or two dental mirrors in a single set-up. Another problem with conventional one compartment self-seal sterilizing bags occur when the mirrors are placed in the sterilizing bag with other instruments. The mirrors tend to become scratched from contact with instruments. This will lead to replacing the mirror several times. Over time, this can become costly. Scratches on the dental mirrors tend to interfere with visual images and usage. Conventional self-seal one compartment sterilizing bags are not made to prevent scratches on dental mirrors.
- U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,660,721, 4,874,090 and 5,222,600, disclose various sterilization bags.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,660,721, specifically granted to Laurie G. Mykleby, describes the STERILIZATION PACKAGE. Multi-layer sterilization package and process for sterilizing equipment wherein items are placed in the multilayer sterilization package which is adapted for use with a snorkel-type gas treatment apparatus; substantially all gas is withdrawn from the interior of the package; sterilization gas is injected into the interior and retained for a time sufficient to sterilize the equipment; sterilization gas is withdrawn from the package; and a cushioning gas is introduced into the package. The package is sealed to retain the cushioning gas, providing for effective gas leak detection.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,874,090, specifically granted to Denis G. Dyke, describes the SELF-SEAL STERILIZATION POUCH. A sterilizable pouch for holding items during sterilization and for storing such items in a sterile condition following sterilization. The pouch includes a first member and a second opposing member. The first member extends outwardly beyond one edge of the second member to define a flap. An opening is defined between the one edge of the second member and the flap. The remaining edges of the first and second members are sealed to one another to define the pouch. An adhesive backed strip having a removable liner over the adhesive is connected along one edge to the second member adjacent to or spaced from the opening and is dimensioned to cover the opening and the flap when the liner is removed′ and the adhesive backed strip is pressed against the opening and the flap.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,222,600, specifically granted to James T. Stoddard and Charles D. Stoddard, describes the AUTOCLAVE POUCH. A receptacle for containing medical instruments for sterilization is constructed having first and second broad sides connected along side and bottom edges. These sides are in turn constructed of an outer layer of flexible, durable fabric material, an intermediate layer of a plastic film material forming a barrier to microorganisms, and, in a preferred embodiment, an inner layer of the fabric material. A cuff extends from one of the edges adjacent the opening and is invertable over the opening to close the opening.
- Prior art one compartment sterilizing bags may be suitable for the particular purpose to which they address, but they do not allow dental mirrors to be sterilized for later usage without scratches.
- It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a dental mirror scratch resistant sterilizing bag with two compartments that will overcome the shortcomings of the prior art devices. It is another object of the invention to provide a dental mirror scratch resistant sterilizing bag with two compartments that will prevent scratches on dental mirrors.
- It is another object of the invention to provide a dental mirror scratch resistant sterilizing bag with two compartments for allowing dental mirror(S) to be sterilized, stored, transported and viewed for later use without scratches.
- Another purpose is to provide a separation seal of a single sterilizing bag with dual compartments to separate the dental mirror(S) from other dental instruments in a single set-up.
- It is another object of the invention to provide a dental mirror scratch resistant sterilizing bag with two compartments to allow packaging dental mirror(S) to be packaged along with other dental instruments in a single set-up.
- It is another object of the invention to provide a dental mirror scratch resistant sterilizing bag with two compartments that has one self-seal adhesive strip with a removable liner to seal the pouch completely for sterilizing, storing, transporting and viewing for later usage.
- It is another object of the invention to provide a dental mirror scratch resistant sterilizing bag with two compartments that will have one small compartment for one to two dental mirror(S) and one large compartment for the remaining dental instruments for one set-up.
- The conventional concept and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of allowing dental mirrors to be sterilized for later usage without scratches. Another solution of my invention is to provide a separation seal of a single sterilizing bag with two compartments to separate dental mirror(S) from other dental instruments in a single set-up. The sterilizing bag will allow the dental instrument set-ups to sterilized, stored and viewed for later usage.
- In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a self-seal, one compartment sterilizing bag. The present invention provides a new dental mirror scratch resistant sterilizing bag with a two compartment construction wherein the same can be utilized for allowing dental mirror(S) and other instruments to be sterilized, stored, transported for later usage without scratches.
- The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new dental mirror scratch resistant sterilizing bag that has many of the advantages of the self-seal, one compartment sterilizing bag mentioned heretofore. Moreover, many novel features that result in the new dental mirror scratch resistant sterilizing bag are not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art self-seal sterilizing bags, either alone or in any combination thereof. The present invention generally comprises a dual compartment sterilizing bag which is sealed on three exterior edges. One seal separates two different size compartments in one single sterilizing bag. a sterilizing bag with one adhesive strip and an adhesive coating below the liner strip seals one set of dental instruments for a single set-up. The sterilizing bag includes a separate seal to divide room enough for 1-2 dental mirrors in one compartment. The larger compartment includes enough room for opposing member sheets. The bottom heat seal has a chevron configuration shape, and a heat liner strip. A first top sheet like member and a second bottom sheet like member are provided. The larger compartment of the sterilizing bag is enough to sterilize, store, transport and view the dental instrument set-up of a single bag. The smaller compartment of the sterilizing bag is large enough to sterilize and store one or two dental mirrors in a single set-up.
- A complete understanding of the present invention may be obtained by reference to the accompanying drawings, when considered in conjunction with the subsequent, detailed description, in which:
- FIG. 1 is a top view view of an of the dental mirror scratch resistant sterilizing bag in accordance with the invention;
- FIG. 2 is a top view view of a the bag shown in FIG. 1 with three heat sealed edges; the chevron configuration shape; one separate seal showing dual compartments;

Thesterilization pouch 8 can have any suitable dimensions. Be utilized for sterilizing different types and sizes of equipment and/or instruments. TheLarge compartment 20 allows sterilizing, storing, and viewing of the dental instrument set-up with aSmall compartment 21 attached. - The
Large compartment 20 consists of the Firsttop member 15 and aSecond bottom member 13 attached by three heat seal edges and Onedividing heat seal 11. TheLarge compartment 20 is rectangular in shape with aTop opening 17 to allow insertion of dental instruments, allowing for sterilizing, storing, transporting and viewing of the dental instruments set-up. - The
Small compartment 21 of the sterilizingbag 8 is large enough to sterilize and store one or two dental mirrors, not shown, of a single set-up. TheSmall compartment 21 allows for sterilizing, storing and viewing of one or two dental mirrors with theLarge compartment 20 attached. TheSmall compartment 21 is rectangular in shape also with aTop opening 17 to allow insertion of dental mirrors. TheSmall compartment 21 is parallel to theLarge compartment 20. - FIG. 2 is a top view of the three heat sealed exterior edges around the opposing First
top member 15 andSecond bottom member 13 sheets. The Firsttop member 15 and theSecond bottom member 13 rectangular shapes are heat sealed on three of four sides to define the pouch between the opposing members. The three heat seals are placed slightly inward to the exterior edges 23 of the two rectangular members, 20 and 21. Thebottom heat seal 10 has aChevron configuration shape 12. Thebottom seal 10 is slightly inward away from thebottom edge 23, allowing the Firsttop member 15 andSecond bottom member 13 to be peeled apart at the chevron configuration shaped 12 end so items can be removed. - The bottom
Chevron configuration shape 12 or any suitable shape allows items to be stored in the pouch until ready for usage. The outer boundary is sealed along the parallel length of the first and second rectangular shaped members. Onedividing heat seal 11 divides the two compartments of onesingle sterilizing bag 8. The Onedividing heat seal 11 allows separation of the dental mirror(S) from the remaining set-up of the dental instruments, preventing scratching of the surface of dental mirror(S) isolating the pointed instruments. The Onedividing heat seal 11 is equal in width as to the three heat sealed exterior edges. The Onedividing heat seal 11 divides the two compartments starting with the Firsttop member 15 and ending with theChevron configuration shape 12 heat seal. The Onedividing heat seal 11 stops with the Firsttop member 15, which is slightly shorter than theSecond bottom member 13 and allows the user to sterilize, store, transport and view dental instruments in a sterile condition following sterilization. - FIG. 3 is a top view of the layers of the dental mirror scratch resistant sterilizing
