Description

Disposable medical waste disposal device

The invention is a device for cleaning in the medical field on a single basis, taking into account the protection against infection for the operating personnel according to the preamble of claim 1. &Tgr;"", Due to hygienic reasons, the device consists of

Stainless steel, which must be thoroughly cleaned daily with cleaning agents (disinfectant solutions).

The cover plate (Li) and the holding device (2.1) consist of one part in order to attach them to a wall. This makes it easy to subsequently install the device in hospitals, doctor's offices, etc. The device preferably has three insertion openings which have different shapes.

The shape of the insertion openings is material-specific. The arrangement of several insertion openings separates different materials. j

j The size (I) of the device has three protective containers (3) with

'■■{) three collecting containers (4), size (II) has four protective containers

(3) with four collecting containers (4), size (III) has five protective containers (3) with five collecting containers (4). By combining different sized protective containers (3) with the corresponding collecting containers (4), a volume variability is achieved. The device is thus adapted to the amount of waste generated. to vote.

The protective containers (3) and collecting containers (4) are dimensionally stable, puncture-proof, liquid-tight and acid and alkali resistant. The collecting container (4), which is a disposable container, is available in three versions. Version (4.1) is a open container, version (4.2) is a container with a closing lid, version (4.3) is a container with a closing lid that has an additional lockable opening in the lid. . ..

The size of the collecting container (A) is matched to the respective size of the protective container (3).

The cover plate (1.2) and the holding device (2.2) are to be installed in existing furniture, whereby the cover plate (1.2) is screwed onto a worktop. The holding device (2.2) is installed in a drawer of appropriate size under the worktop as a holding frame.

FOR WASTE DISPOSAL

A wide variety of containers are used for waste disposal in the medical sector. After extensive research, we have identified the following containers with corresponding patent numbers: No. DE 33 17 300 A 1, No. 27 20 591 and others. The containers described in these patents have considerable disadvantages. Platerial separation and a waste volume-specific nhnoeHrrmto Quaf omnrnflo iint-&ogr;&tgr;- Roarhti inn rise Tnf eUfr i nncerhi it >gc

This does not achieve this goal; injuries during disposal with some containers are inevitable.

^The invention is based on the task of collecting waste arising in the medical sector in an economically cost-effective, volume-variable and material-specific manner, while complying with hygiene regulations and observing infection protection.

This object is achieved according to the invention by the characterizing features of claims 1 to 7.

The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that

- infection from medical waste is practically impossible, meaning that there are no costs for hepatitis and other vaccinations or follow-up treatment;

- easy handling through symbolic openings, coloring and labeling of the protective containers guides the staff to correct disposal;

- platerial separation and recycling of medical waste is possible for the first time;

- the size of the containers is tailored to the requirements of the general hygiene regulations: the smallest size necessary in order to achieve the shortest possible storage time and to adapt to the quantity generated;

- the stainless steel holding and covering element must be kept hygienically clean;

- the arrangement of the coloured and labelled protective containers is determined by the shape and order of the insertion openings in the cover plate;

" the triple message: shape of the opening, labelling and colour of the protective container achieves a high training and educational effect;

- high economic efficiency due to one-off acquisition costs (stainless steel version) and low prices of the collection container (disposable base).

Due to the constantly increasing volume of medical waste and the resulting increasing frequency of accidents, it has become necessary to develop a waste disposal system that takes infection protection into account, takes today's environmental pollution into account and prevents it by applying additional (*lüll.

The use of the device in the field of occupational medicine enables long-term savings in the costly follow-up treatment of cuts and puncture wounds that occur during the disposal of glass and cannulas.

Prevention through modern disposal adapted to the problem should be the motto in the long term.
