Abstract
SURGICAL SPONGE COUNTER
ABSTRACT OF THE DISLCOSURE
A sponge counter includes a plurality of connected transparent flexible expandable open-topped plastic sponge-receiving bags which are mounted on a support which in turn can be hung from the edge of a kick bucket or the like.
The bags are positioned close to the mouth of the kick bucket to provide high visibility of sponges placed therein.
In the embodiment disclosed herein, the bags are inter-connected in accordian-like fashion and the bag support is slotted to slip down over the kick bucket rim so that the counter assembly and bags extend radially out from the bucket wall. The slot is oriented so that the hanging counter assembly is positioned horizontally. The assembly is collapsible for easy disposal.

3,431,~62 Chapel Dee. 2, 1969 3,613~899 Schleicher et al. Oct. 19, 1971 3,~48,330 Ferreri Apr. 6, 1976 4,190,153 olsen Feb. 26, 1980 4,312,447 McWilliams Jan. 26, 1982 BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a surgieal sponge eounter.
During surgical procedures, it is extremely important to account for all sponges that have been used in the operation. Previous known sponge counters, such as those disclosed in the above-identified patents, have utilized various types of compartments or sponge spacers, at least one of whieh is adapted to be used in association with the usual sponge receiving receptacle, normally called a kiek bucket. These prior devices tend to be rather eomplex and relatively expensive to manufaeture.
It is a task of the present invention to provide an improved sponge eounter for use in association with a ~iek bucket or the like, which is simple in construction and low in cost, which provides high visability of the sponges, and which is easily disposable.
In aecordanee with the various broader aspeets of the invention, the sponge eounter ineludes a plurality of eonneeted transparent flexible expandable open-topped plastie sponge-reeeiving bags which are mounted on a support whieh in turn ean be hung from the edge of a kiek bueket or the like. The bags are positioned elose to the mouth of the kiek bueket to provide high visibility of sponges plaeed therein.
In the embodiment disclosed herein, the bags are interconneeted in aceordian-like fashion and the bag support ':

is slotted to slip down over the kick bucket rim so that the counter assembly and bags extend radially out from the bucket wall. The slot is oriented so that the hanging counter assembly is positioned horizontally. The assembly is collapsible for easy disposal.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying drawings illustrate the best mode presently contemplated by the inventor for carrying out the invention.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the surgical sponge counter of the invention attached to a kick bucket;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged top plan view of the sponge counter, as attached to the bucket;
FIG. 3 is a side view of the sponge counter in closed position; and FIG. ~ is a central vertical section taken on line 4--4 of F~G. 3, when in open position.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
As shown in the drawings, the concepts of the invention are directed to a surgical sponge counter 1 which is adapted to be mounted, for example, on a sponge receiv-ing receptable such as a kick bucket 2 having a slantedannular wall 3 and top rim 4.
Counter 1 is adapted to receive a number of used sponges during an operation so that all sponges can be visually accounted for. For this purpose, counter l includes a plurality of closely adjacent interconnected bags 5 which are made of transparent flexible plastic material such as polyethylene film. Bags 5 are shown as being closed along their bottom edges 6 and expandable upwardly to open mouths 7 when in use. As shown, the adjacent mouth portions of adjacent bags 5 are secured ~2(~3~0~
together along a horizontal line of securement 8, as by an adhesive, heat sealing or the like. Line 8 is shorter than the full width of bags 5 to permit them to open in an accordian-like fashion.
The group of bags 5 is held in position in counter 1 by a support 9 which in this instance comprises a frame of paperboard or like material heavier than bags 5 and which comprises a pair of connected planular panels 10 which are hinged along one edge/ as at 11, and free to be opened to a V-shape or closed as desired~ Support 9 is provided with an enlarged opening 12 which forms a bag receiving means having facing upper edge portions 13. The two outermost bags of the group of bags 5 are secured in any suitable manner to edge portions 13 along a line of securement 14 which, like line 8, is shorter than the full width of the bags.
Support 9 is adapted to be attached in open position to kick bucket 2, with bags 5 being open and hang-ing downwardly therefrom. For this purpose, a broken away portion such as a slot 15 is formed in panels 10 for fitting down over bucket rim 4 when panels 10 are open. In the open position, slot 15 is V-shaped relative to a transverse plane passing through support 9. See FIG. 2. In the folded closed position, or from the side, as shown in FIG. 3, slot 15 can be seen to extend at an angle from hinged edge 11, said angle corresponding to the angle the slanted bucket wall 3 assumes relative to the vertical. Thus, when counter 1 is expanded and mounted to kick bucket 2, the counter assembly will extend radially outwardly from the bucket and be disposed generally hori~ontally. Several counters may be mounted side-by-side on the same bucket.
During an operation, used sponges, not shown, are inserted into bags 5, where the sponges themselves and any blood or the like are highly visible. After the opera-tion and when all sponges are accounted for, counter 1 may ~2(~3206 be lifted from bucket 2, panels 10 folded closed to collapse bags 5, and the panels secured together in any suitable manner. As shown, cooperating strips or tabs 16 of Velcro or other adhesive are disposed on facing surfaces of panels 10 to hold them in closed position. When panels 10 are closed, outer edge portions 13 sealingly hold bag mouths 7 in closed position to substantially prevent escape of material from the bags. Counter 1 may then be dumped into kick bucket 2 or otherwise disposed of.
