Description

STERILIZABLE SURGICAL INSTRUMENT ORGANIZER KIT
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel sterilizable surgical instrument organizer kit. More specifically, the present invention provides a sterilizable surgical material with printed/ embossed surgical instructions/notes with the help of arrows/ pictures of any particular surgical procedure to train and/ or aide nurses during the surgery, provide systematic and effective sterilization as well as storage and transportation of surgical instruments.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the busy environs of an operation theater it is imperative that all the tools of surgery are arranged in the order of their use during the surgery in order to prevent the loss of time and to avoid confusion during the critical phases of the surgery. Therefore, before the surgery starts, scrubbing nurse usually gets a set of sterilized instruments ready which are then laid out on a sterile cloth in the order of their use during the surgery. This is critical to the smooth conduction of the surgery.
Further during the surgery itself, the surgeon expects the nurse to know and hand over the correct instrument required by the surgeon at that particular moment during the course of the surgery. Not only are all the sterilized instruments required to be readily available and arranged on a sterile cloth but also a nurse trained in surgery is required in order to ensure that the correct instruments are handed over to the surgeon during the procedure without any delay. Any wrong instrument given or delay in providing the correct instrument during the surgery can create chaos, confusion resulting in surgeon's frustration and/ or lengthening of surgical procedure which could impact the Surgical outcome.
Thus it becomes imperative to have nurses an advanced level of training, so that they can understand the instruments and the sequences in which they are handed over to the surgeon during the surgery. In normal course such training could take about 8 to 12 months to train the staff for scrubbing readiness. US Patent Application No. US 7518502 discloses a system and method for identifying, locating, and managing inventory of sterilized medical devices located within a sealed sterilization case in preparation for a surgical procedure. US Patent Application No. US 6615836 discloses a surgical drape having a pocket forming feature. In particular, the surgical drape includes a fabric formed from a nonwoven layer. The nonwoven layer has a surface that includes a plurality of strands arranged on the surface with a plurality of bonds spaced about the surface. The nonwoven layer also includes a plurality of loops extending between the bonds. The surgical drape also includes at least one hook fastener that contains hooks engageable with the loops of the nonwoven layer. As a result, an edge of the fabric can be folded such that the hooks engage the loops of the fabric to form a pocket. The pocket can have one open end, two open ends, or two closed ends.
US Patent Application No. US 5381896 discloses presentation tray for surgical instruments. More particularly a tray holding and displaying a number of surgical instruments. Each of these instruments have a handle and contain an elongated shaft extending from the handle. The shaft itself defines a longitudinal axis. The tray contains a base defining a first plane for supporting the shafts of the instruments. There is further described a handle holding portion extending from the base. The handle holding portion contains a first side wall attached to the base and a bottom for holding the handle extending from the first side wall. The bottom defines a second plane. The first and second planes are not parallel. A package which holds the tray of this invention has a first surface which supports the base and a second surface which supports the bottom of the handle portion. Ideally, there is also a third surface extending from the base. The first and third surfaces are co-planar and capable of supporting the package and the tray containing the instruments. The tray is removed from the package and with the surgical instruments contained thereon. In this fashion, the tray is supported on a stand by the bottom and the surface extending from the second side wall.
Also in current state of art there are many surgeries conducted especially in a smaller operation theaters or remote location hospitals with limited infrastructure where the surgical instruments are dumped haphazardly in the sterilization units and/ or sterilized in large container/ steamers. This will result in a poor sterilization of instruments wherein only few instruments on top/ bottom and/ or side gets effectively cleaned and sterilized. While the layers of instruments beneath the top layer may not be properly sterilized. Further, considerable time is spent in organizing the instruments and sorting them as well as searching a specific instrument during or prior to surgery resulting in poor surgical practices.
Therefore there is need for providing a system for effectively organizing the tools for surgery such that new staff/ scrub nurses can effectively assist the surgeon, enable the sterilization of surgical instruments and thereafter organize the tools for surgery post-sterilization. Also, in current state of the art, if all instruments are placed in a proper organized trays made of metal, the volume and weight of these tray sets could significantly increase the total size and weight of the instrument which may not be practically possible to sterilize them all in one go or not so easy to transport.

In another embodiment, the said sterilizable material may have pockets/ instrument holding hooks (201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214 and 215) to hold specific instruments (300a, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306 and 307) at specific location, for example, the said sterilizable material (1) have holding hooks (201, 202 and 203) to hold one instrument such as (300a), similarly multiple instruments (301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306 and 307) may have one or combinations of such instrument holding hooks (204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214 and 215) to hold these surgical instruments. Thus the problem of carrying loose instruments in the surgical trays is reduced manifolds by using the current sterilizable material (1) with means to fasten (201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214 and 215) specific instruments (301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306 and 307) as per the surgical requirement. Thus it also avoids the chances of confusion during the surgery. The said sterilizable material (1) also has laces (100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106 and 107) to wrap the said sterilizable material and use it as instrument tray/ kit for sterilization as well as transportation. In yet another embodiment, the said sterilizable material (1) can be disposable or reusable.
Thus instant invention provide surgical drape (1), which is helpful in providing convenient and cost effective way for assisting staff during surgery.
An illustrative example:
In case of natural disaster or calamity reaching to help the ailing people in the far flung areas is a difficult task. Even after reaching to such areas the difficulty of carrying multiple instruments still poses difficulty for the nurses as well as doctors. Thus the present invention provides for a sterilizable surgical instruments kit to obviate the abovementioned drawbacks wherein, the nurses are able to carry specific instruments for any particular surgery with the help of directions, notes, instructions embossed on the sterilizable material. The means of fastening to secure instruments are selected from securing means including hooks, laces and pockets stitched to said sterilizable material while the means of fastening to secure said sterilizable material is selected from securing means including ribbon, strap, lace and velcro. Due to these sets of fastening provisions, not only are the instruments secured within the sterilizable material but also the kit itself is secured with the means of fastening the sterilizable material to transform the kit into a carry bag or a backpack for secure transportation from one location to another. The sterilizable material is selected from any strong material that can be subjected to hot temperatures for sterilization, and cold temperatures for storage including canvas.
