Disposable elastic protective cover for esophagus ultrasonic probe and use device of protective cover

Abstract

The invention discloses a disposable elastic protective cover for an esophagus ultrasonic probe and a use device of the protective cover. The protective cover includes a protective cover body, the protective cover body is great in elasticity, smooth and capable of reducing injuries caused by the probe to esophagus mucous membranes and avoiding cross infection to the maximum extent; meanwhile, thesound transmission effect of latex is great, and the quality of imaging is ensured. The protective cover is easy to operate and is abandoned after use, the work procedures are simplified, and the efficiency is improved; since the protective cover body is softer than the esophagus ultrasonic probe, the injuries caused to the esophagus mucous membranes and oral cavity tissue of a patient are reduced, wearing directly caused to the probe by friction, disinfection and other factors is also reduced, and the service life of the probe is prolonged; the adaptation range to diseases is enlarged, patients suffering from Aids and other communicable diseases can also receive TEE examination, and the therapeutic equality right of the patients is ensured. The use device is reasonable in design, easy tomanufacture and affordable, is adopted in hundreds of clinical application cases and has high practicability and a popularization value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an auxiliary device for diagnosis and treatment of clinical cardiovascular diseases in a hospital, in particular to a disposable esophageal ultrasonic probe elastic protective sleeve and a device for use thereof. Background technique [0002] Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been widely used in the inspection and evaluation of the heart and nearby great vessels because it is less affected by ribs and lungs, and can make up for the shortcomings of ordinary transthoracic echocardiography. However, disinfection and protection of transesophageal ultrasound probes are tricky things. Whether it is liquid immersion disinfection method or gas fumigation method, there are problems of time-consuming, laborious and damage to the probe. Moreover, without a protective cover, the probe directly rubs against the patient's esophagus, which may easily cause double damage to the patient and the equipment. Therefore, in clinical pract...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Because air is easy to exist between the protective cover and the probe, it seriously affects the imaging quality

Moreover, due to the large protective sheath, it is easy to form folds in the esophagus, and it is easy to damage the esophagus during the movement of the probe.

[0005] Existing esophageal ultrasound covers are either cumbersome to use, have poor imaging quality, or both, leading clinicians to often abandon them
