[0023] The following is a description of the implementation of the present invention by specific embodiments. People familiar with the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] The terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle", etc. cited in this specification are only for the convenience of description and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships should be regarded as within the scope of implementation of the present invention without substantially changing the technical content.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a specific embodiment of the present invention provides a disinfection connector for disinfecting an infusion connector or a Luer connector 6 at the tail end of various catheters, including a cylindrical sponge 2 and a plurality of strip sponges, wherein the length direction of the strip sponges is parallel to the axis of the cylindrical sponge 2, and the plurality of strip sponges are arranged around the axis of the cylindrical sponge 2, and disinfectant is stored inside the strip sponges and the cylindrical sponge 2.

[0026] Since a plurality of strip sponges are arranged around the axis of the cylindrical sponge 2, the Luer connector 6 is pressed into the disinfection connector, and the cylindrical sponge 2 can enter the inner cavity of the Luer connector 6. The disinfection connector is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise, and the cylindrical sponge 2 that has absorbed the disinfectant rubs against the inner cavity of the Luer connector 6 to wipe and disinfect the inner cavity of the Luer connector 6. The strip sponges that have absorbed the disinfectant rub against the outer wall of the Luer connector 6 to wipe and disinfect the outer wall of the Luer connector 6, making the disinfection effect more thorough.

[0027] There may be gaps between the multiple strip sponges, or they may be placed close together. Arranging multiple independent strip sponges 1 allows different strip sponges to absorb the same disinfectant, or absorb different disinfectants, so that the disinfectant can be more evenly distributed in each strip sponge, thereby improving the disinfection effect.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, the strip sponge is a trapezoidal strip sponge 1, and the cross section perpendicular to the length direction of the strip sponge is a trapezoid. The trapezoidal strip sponge 1 can be arranged in a ring to form a polygonal hole, increasing the contact area between the sponge and the outer wall of the Luer connector 6 and improving the disinfection effect.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the number of the trapezoidal strip sponges 1 is eight, and the eight trapezoidal strip sponges 1 are arranged in a ring to form an octagonal hole, and the cylindrical sponge 2 is arranged in the center of the octagonal hole. The arrangement of eight trapezoidal strip sponges 1 increases the contact area between the trapezoidal strip sponges 1 and the outer wall of the Luer connector 6, taking into account both the manufacturing cost and the disinfection effect.

[0030] In an alternative embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, one end of the housing 4 of the disinfection connector has an opening, and the cylindrical sponge 2 and the trapezoidal strip sponge 1 are located in the housing 4 and close to the end with the opening of the housing 4. The housing 4 is held by hand, and the Luer connector 6 is inserted from the opening of the housing 4 for disinfection, which is convenient to use, and the extruded disinfectant is stored in the housing 4 and will not flow to other positions.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the cross section of the outer wall of the housing 4 is octagonal, which is convenient for holding and turning with force.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the disinfection joint also includes a liquid storage sponge 3, which is located at the lower side of the cylindrical sponge 2 and the trapezoidal strip sponge 1. The liquid storage sponge 3, the plurality of trapezoidal strip sponges 1 and the cylindrical sponge 2 are an integrally formed structure. The sponge is cut into an octagonal prism shape, and then the upper half of the octagonal sponge is cut to form a cylindrical sponge 2 and a plurality of trapezoidal strip sponges 1, and the lower half of the octagonal sponge is used as the liquid storage sponge 3. The liquid storage sponge 3 occupies one-half of the height of the entire sponge, and the liquid storage sponge 3 is located at the bottom of the outer shell 4. The liquid storage sponge 3 can store more disinfectant to avoid the influence of a small amount of disinfectant on the disinfection effect.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the disinfection joint further comprises a sealing sticker 5, which is pasted on the opening of the housing 4. The trapezoidal strip sponge 1 and the cylindrical sponge 2 are stored in the sealed housing 4, and the sealing sticker 5 is torn off before use and then disinfected to avoid contamination.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the sealing sticker 5 is tin foil, which is anti-extrusion, waterproof and anti-corrosive, and improves the airtightness of the disinfection joint.

[0035] Although the present invention has been described in detail above by general description and specific embodiments, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that some modifications or improvements can be made to the present invention. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention all belong to the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
