Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device for holding the aspirator end of suction instrument while it is not being used in the throat or mouth of a patient and, more particularly, this invention relates to an improved holder for a tonsil suction aspirator wand.
  • Aspirators are used when the access to the site is the mouth and trachea. Aspirators terminate in an elongated hand held wand, usually bent, comprising a handle portion and an elongated tube terminating in a nozzle. Holders are provided to hold the wand when it is not in use.
  • the McPherson patent relates to a storage device for a data pen.
  • the device includes a holster-like cavity disposed at an angle and supported in a holder.
  • Ciechanowski, et al. relates to a holder for a vacuum wand for use in manufacturing electronic devices comprising an elongated cylindrical shell with a smoothly, tapered longitudinal slot.
  • Frazier describes an open basket holder for holding an electrical device close to the side rail of a bed.
  • the Code patent illustrates an open ended holster for holding a medical or dental suction nozzle.
  • the original wrapper for the nozzle is placed in the holster to prevent contamination.
  • the holster disclosed in the Code patent is difficult to use.
  • the flexible wrapper must be removed from the wand intact and then inserted and clipped into the holster. A forceful insertion of the wand could rip or dislodge the wrapper causing contamination of the environment with possibly infectious body fluids and tissue.
  • the flexible film of the wrapper can be pulled by vacuum into the openings in the nozzle.
  • the holster utilizes an elongated rigid, plastic cylinder which is slidingly mounted in a holder including a back plate, a top flange having an aperature to receive the cylinder and a bottom flange. A further support in the form of a U-shaped guide is provided intermediate the top and bottom flanges.
  • the cylinder is not subject to tearing or ripping and securely retains fluids and tissue draining from the nozzle of the aspirator.
  • the rigid cylider readily slides into and mounts in the holder.
  • the cylinder can be rinsed and sterilized by liquid or gaseous sterilization agents such as Cidex or ethylene oxide.
  • the cylider can be filled with antibacterial rinsing iquid while it is being used to hold the aspirator wand.
  • the cylinder can be sterilized and reused or can be disposed to insure that there is no cross contamination from patient- to-patient.
  • the suction instrument holder prevents accidental direct suction of skin or body of the nurse or technician which can lead to hematomas.
  • the holder helps eliminate blockage of the nozzle for longer periods and is much more efficient to use.
  • the nozzle is maintained in a clear septic environment which also contributes to minimization of cross-contamination by air borne infectious agents.
  • the cylinder is not positively mounted in the holder. It can freely rotate or can tip or slide since the flat bottom of the cylinder is mounted on the flat bottom flange and there is some play between the cylinder and the intermediate guide member. Furthermore, when the cylinder contains volume markings or lines, the markings can be rotated to the rear toward the back plate and will be hidden from view.
  • An improved suction instrument holder provided by the invention includes a holder which cooperates with the container to self-seat the countainer in a positive manner which prevents sliding of the container.
  • One of the bottom wall of the container or the bottom flange contains a rounded protrusion and the other contains a complementary cavity such that as the container is lowered through an aperature in the top flange, the protrusion will enter the cavity and positively self-seat the assembly.
  • the holder can also seat the container in a selected orientation such that the face with markings always faces away from the back plate of the holder.
  • Another aspect of the invention relates to a suction instrument holder which seats the container with a preselected orientation and prevents rotation of the container.
  • One way to achieve preferential alignment is to provide a key on the inner edge of the aperature in the top flange and a slot on the container. The container will not lower into the holder unless the key engages the slot.
  • the volume markings or other indicia will be disposed 180° from
  • the slot on the front of the container and the container can not rotate in the holder.
  • Another means of providing a self-aligning container is to provide a key-slot arrangement on the raised protrusion.
  • the container will lower onto the protrusion and will self- seat or can be aided to seat the key into the slot by gently rotating the container.
  • the holder of the invention reliably and firmly hold the suction instrument without the container slipping or rotating.
  • the volume markings are always positioned to the front of the holder.
  • the holder is found to be so stable that the intermediate support member is no longer necessary.
  • Figure 1 is an exploded assembly view of a first embodiment of a suction instrument holder according to the invention
  • Figure 2 is an exploded assembly view of the holder of Figure 1 shown in relation to a suction instrument;
  • Figure 3 is a rear view in elevation of the container shown in Figure l;
  • Figure 4 is a partial assembly view of an alternative embodiment of a container and opposed lower flange. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • the holder 10 for the suction instrument 12 includes a holster stand 14 and a disposable container or flask 16.
  • the stand 14 has a bottom edge 18, a vertical base 20 and a top flange 22.
  • a Velcro or adhesive strip 24 can be attached to the back wall 26 of the base 20.
  • the bottom ledge 18 of the holder 10 contains a raised conical protrusion 40 and the bottom wall 42 of the container 16 contains a complementary conical cavity 44.
  • the suction instrument 12 can be a unitary, light weight plastic member comprising an inlet end fitting 50 for connection to a hose, not shown, a handle portion 52, a bent tubular extension 54 and a nozzle 56 having peripheral slots 58 normal to the longitudinal axis of the adjacent tubular extension 54.
  • the suction instrument 12 is in the form of a manually held wand that is positioned within a body orifice such as adjacent the tonsils and when not in use is placed in the container 16 by penetrating the slot 60 in the flexible cap 62 and lowering the instrument 12 until nozzle 56 is adjacent the protrusion 40.
  • the container 16 can contain volume markings 70.
  • the convex member 40 can have a mating slot recess 74 to register and seat the container 16 with the volume markings 70 facing outwardly as shown in Figure 4.
  • the holder stand 14 can contain a key member 80 of the top flange 22 mounted on the lip 82 of the aperatures 83.
  • the container 16 will have a complementary slot 86 to receive the key 80 member and positively lock the container 16 in position.
  • Velcro strip 30 is provided for attachment to the wall 32 of the console of the suction device or other available wall surface.
  • the adhesive films 34 on the strips 34, 30 can be covered with a peelable sheet, not shown, to protect them before attachment to the device and the wall.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un ensemble (10) conçu pour maintenir un dispositif aspirant (12) tel que la tuyère en forme de baguette (56) d'un aspirateur à amygdale. Ledit ensemble comporte un récipient oblong (16) et un support (14) ayant une paroi de base (20), une embase supérieure à l'intérieur de laquelle est ménagée une ouverture (83) conçue pour recevoir le récipient (16) et une embase inférieure (18). Ladite embase inférieure comporte une protubérance arrondie en saillie (40) et la partie inférieure du récipient (16) est dotée d'une cavité complémentaire (44) de telle sorte que, lorsque l'on descend le récipient à travers l'ouverture (83), celui-ci se centre automatiquement et se met en place par accouplement entre la protubérance (40) et la cavité (44). On dispose, sur l'un des éléments que sont le support et le récipient, d'une clavette (80, 72) qui est adaptée à une fente (86, 74) correspondante ménagée à l'intérieur de l'autre élément, et qui empêche le récipient de tourner de façon à y présenter des repères de marquage du volume (70).
