Mask for detecting pathogens

Abstract

The invention discloses a mask for detecting pathogens. The mask is prepared through adhering one or more pathogen test strips to the inner side surface of the mask through a double-sided adhesive tape or other adhesive layers; A test strip is located at the corresponding mouth and nose position of the mask inner mask surface. The test strip is in a long strip shape, the length of the test strip is 5-10 cm, the width of the test strip is 0.5-3 cm, and the number of the test strips is 1-4. By arranging the test strip, the sampling function of virus or other pathogen specimens is realized, the sampling work of respiratory tract markers such as pharyngeal swabs or nasal swabs can be replaced, the subsequent test work of respiratory tract or pharyngeal pathogen specimens is facilitated, the sampling pain of patients, particularly children and old people, is relieved, and the infection risk of medical personnel is reduced. A doctor can be assisted in evaluating whether the patient has respiratory tract infectivity or not or evaluating the intensity of the respiratory tract infectivity at present. The mask of the invention has important application prospect and practical value for clinical respiratory diseases, especially infectious respiratory diseases.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of masks, in particular to a mask for detecting pathogens. Background technique [0002] Existing masks include ordinary disposable masks, medical surgical masks, N95 masks, and 3M masks. Not to be inhaled. Masks have a certain filtering effect on the air entering the lungs, especially during the epidemic of respiratory infectious diseases, wearing a mask has a very good effect and has a certain protective performance. [0003] Clinical respiratory diseases, especially some highly contagious respiratory diseases, such as new coronavirus, SARS virus, influenza virus, measles, chicken pox, mumps, tuberculosis and other viruses or other pathogens, the diagnosis of respiratory diseases The detection of markers such as viruses or other pathogens needs to be carried out with the help of respiratory secretions, including throat swabs, nasal swabs, nasopharyngeal extracts, deep cough sputum, respiratory tract extr...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Due to the difficulty of sampling and the frequent need for multiple sampling, the patients are very painful, especially for children and the elderly. At the same time, the above-mentioned diseases are highly contagious. Protective equipment also needs to bear a huge risk of infection. Therefore, if a mask that can detect pathogens can be developed, in addition to traditional protective properties, it also has a certain sampling function for respiratory viruses or other pathogens. By wearing a mask The method of extracting samples of respiratory or pharyngeal viruses or other pathogens is simple, painless (especially suitable for children and the elderly), can be sampled multiple times, and can flexibly adjust the sampling volume (adjusted by wearing a mask). It is convenient for patients to diagnose diseases, can reduce the risk of infection for medical staff, and can also assist doctors in evaluating whether the current patient has respiratory tract infection or the degree of infection. This is the advantage of the present invention, and it is also a function that ordinary masks do not have
