Supporting base for medical instruments

A method for making a supporting base (1) for medical instruments (2), comprising the following operating steps:

• preparing a supporting layer (3) comprising its own visible front surface (4) and its own rear surface (5) opposite to the visible surface (4);
• making a plurality of holes (6) through the supporting layer (3) from the front surface (4) to the rear surface (5);
• characterized in that the method comprises the steps of:
• cutting on the rear surface (5) at least one track (30) extending along a predetermined path passing through at least one group (31) of holes (6) in order to place them in communication with each other through the track (30);
• injecting gripping material at least at one injection point (32) positioned along the track (30) on the rear surface (5) in such a way to position a gripping portion (9), at least in part, inside the track (30) and at the group (31) of holes (6) in such a way as to fill the track (30) with the gripping material realizing a gripping portion (9) on the rear surface (5);
• the gripping material being in the semi-solid or liquid state for introduction and expansion along the track (30) in the rear surface (5) and inside at least part of the holes (6) of the group (31) in such a way as to fill said at least part of the holes (6);
• leaving the gripping material to solidify and waiting for the solidification of the gripping material on the rear surface (5) in such a way to realize an irreversible joining of the gripping portion (9) to the rear surface (5) to form a single body with the supporting layer (3) to prevent dirt from entering between the supporting layer (3) and the gripping portion (9);
• making at least one opening (17) at each hole (6) and passing through the gripping portion (9) for inserting, in use, at least one medical instrument (2) in such a way that the gripping portion (9) defines a gripping area for the medical instrument (2).
