Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a user-friendly disposable umbilical cord clamp and its method of use. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of obstetrics, most obstetricians use disposable umbilical cord clamps to cut the umbilical cord of newborns. Due to the safety and speed of using umbilical cord clamps, they are now widely used in clinical practice.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent No. CN204049761U discloses a convenient disposable umbilical cord clamp, which consists of a scissor fixing body, a blade, a left umbilical cord clamp, a right umbilical cord clamp, a hollow shaft, and a scissor handle. Its features are: a hand guard plate is machined on the upper part of the middle position of the scissor handle, a hand guard rib plate is machined on the upper part of the hand guard plate, an end positioning plate is machined on the upper part of the end of the scissor handle, and a rib plate is machined on the upper part of the end positioning plate. In summary, this utility model is very convenient to use and safe and reliable.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned solution is inconvenient to limit the umbilical cord during use. During the cutting process, the umbilical cord is slippery and easily deviates from the effective cutting position. In view of this, the present invention proposes an easy-to-operate disposable umbilical cord clamp and its usage method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an easy-to-operate disposable umbilical cord clamp and its usage method to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A disposable umbilical cord clamp cutter that is easy to operate includes a clamp body, on which two sets of umbilical cord clamps are symmetrically arranged. Each umbilical cord clamp is provided with an arc-shaped elastic part, a first clamping part and a second clamping part.

[0008] The first clamping part has a first limiting hole, and the second clamping part has a second limiting hole. An arc-shaped limiting rod is provided between the first limiting hole and the second limiting hole. The arc-shaped limiting rod is connected to the first clamping part. When the clamping body is closed, it causes the first clamping part and the second clamping part to move relative to each other, so that the first clamping part drives the arc-shaped limiting rod to rotate around the center of the arc-shaped elastic part and pass through the second limiting hole to close the opening of the umbilical cord clamp.

[0009] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the clamp body is provided with a central column, the clamp body is closed around the central column axis, and the arc-shaped elastic part is sleeved on the outer wall of the central column;

[0010] The clamp body is also provided with two sets of mounting strips. One set of mounting strips is provided with blades. The two sets of umbilical cord clamps are symmetrically arranged with the mounting strips as the center.

[0011] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the mounting strip has multiple sets of connection holes;

[0012] The umbilical cord clamp is provided with multiple sets of connecting rods, and the multiple sets of connecting rods are respectively matched with multiple sets of connecting holes. The arc-shaped elastic part is sleeved on the central column, so that the connecting rods extend into the connecting holes.

[0013] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the outer wall of the arc-shaped limiting rod is provided with a buckle;

[0014] The first clamping part has a bevel, and a slot is provided at the bevel. The buckle cooperates with the slot so that the arc-shaped limiting rod is connected to the first clamping part.

[0015] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the buckle is provided with a toggle plate, the buckle is connected in the slot, and the toggle plate does not enter the slot.

[0016] As an improvement to the above technical solution, both ends of the first limiting hole and the second limiting hole are provided with conical holes with internal cavities connected, and the arc-shaped limiting rod enters the second limiting hole through the conical holes.

[0017] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the two ends of the arc-shaped limiting rod are provided with actuating rods, and a set of actuating rods are provided with a tapered part, which is located away from the buckle.

[0018] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the arc-shaped limiting rod is made of a ductile material, and the actuating rod is made of a rubber material.

[0019] A method for using an easy-to-operate disposable umbilical cord clamp includes the following steps:

[0020] S1, Limit Insertion:

[0021] Insert the two sets of arc-shaped limiting rods into the two sets of umbilical cord clamps respectively, and install the umbilical cord clamps on the clamp body;

[0022] S2, Opening:

[0023] Open the clamp body to open the two sets of umbilical cord clamps, and adjust the position of the arc-shaped limiting rod so that the arc-shaped limiting rod does not enter the second limiting hole;

[0024] S3, Opening closed:

[0025] Move the two sets of umbilical cord clamps to the umbilical cord position and move the arc-shaped limiting rod toward the second limiting hole until the buckle is placed in the slot, so that the arc-shaped limiting rod passes through the second limiting hole and limits the umbilical cord inside the umbilical cord clamp.

[0026] S4. Close the clamps:

[0027] Hold the handle of the clamps to cut the umbilical cord. At the same time, the clamps close and drive the two sets of umbilical cord clamps to close, causing the arc-shaped limiting rod to move in the second limiting hole until the umbilical cord clamps are fully closed.

[0028] S5. Umbilical cord clamp detachment:

[0029] After the clamp body is closed in S4, first move the upper set of arc-shaped limiting rods to disengage the upper umbilical cord clamp from the clamp body, and then press the lower set of arc-shaped limiting rods to disengage the lower umbilical cord clamp from the clamp body.

[0030] S6, Bending limit:

[0031] When the lower set of umbilical cord clamps detaches from the clamp body during S5, medical staff manually bend the arc-shaped limiting rod to limit the umbilical cord clamps.

[0032] As an improvement to the above technical solution, in S1, during the limiting insertion, when the two sets of umbilical cord clamps are installed, the positions of the two sets of first limiting holes and the two sets of second limiting holes are aligned.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0034] When cutting the umbilical cord, the arc-shaped limiting rod is connected to the first clamping part until both sets of arc-shaped limiting rods are installed. Then, the clamp body is placed at the umbilical cord so that the umbilical cord clamp is set at the umbilical cord. At the same time, the arc-shaped limiting rod is moved to move in the first limiting hole so that the arc-shaped limiting rod passes through the second limiting hole and closes the opening of the umbilical cord clamp. That is, the first clamping part, the second clamping part, and the arc-shaped limiting rod are combined to form a closed area. Then the clamp body is closed to complete the cutting.

[0035] The movable arc-shaped limiting rod, as described above, can limit the umbilical cord and prevent it from slipping out of the effective cutting position of the clamps during the cutting process due to its slipperiness.

[0036] With the aforementioned arc-shaped limiting rod, during the umbilical cord cutting process, the umbilical cord clamp can be easily detached from the clamp body by moving the arc-shaped limiting rod, which facilitates subsequent disinfection of the cutting area. Attached Figure Description

[0046] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] Example:

[0048] like Figure 1-8 As shown, this embodiment proposes a disposable umbilical cord clamp cutter that is easy to operate, including a clamp body 10, on which two sets of umbilical cord clamps 20 are symmetrically arranged. The umbilical cord clamps 20 are provided with an arc-shaped elastic part 23, a first clamping part 21 and a second clamping part 22.

[0049] The first clamping part 21 has a first limiting hole 25, and the second clamping part 22 has a second limiting hole 29. An arc-shaped limiting rod 30 is provided between the first limiting hole 25 and the second limiting hole 29. The arc-shaped limiting rod 30 is connected to the first clamping part 21. When the clamp body 10 closes, it drives the first clamping part 21 and the second clamping part 22 to move relative to each other, so that the first clamping part 21 drives the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 to rotate around the center of the arc-shaped elastic part 23, and passes through the second limiting hole 29 to close the opening of the umbilical cord clamp 20.

[0050] In this embodiment, when cutting the umbilical cord, the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 is connected to the first clamping part 21 until the two sets of arc-shaped limiting rods 30 are installed. Then, the clamp body 10 is placed at the umbilical cord so that the umbilical cord clamp 20 is fitted at the umbilical cord. At the same time, the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 is moved to move in the first limiting hole 25 so that the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 passes through the second limiting hole 29 and closes the opening of the umbilical cord clamp 20. That is, the first clamping part 21, the second clamping part 22, and the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 are combined to form a closed area. Then the clamp body 10 is closed to complete the cutting.

[0051] The movable arc-shaped limiting rod 30, as described above, can limit the umbilical cord and prevent it from slipping out of the effective cutting position of the clamp 10 during the cutting process due to the slipperiness of the umbilical cord.

[0052] With the aforementioned arc-shaped limiting rod 30, during the umbilical cord cutting process, the umbilical cord clamp 20 can be easily detached from the clamp body 10 by moving the arc-shaped limiting rod 30, which facilitates subsequent disinfection of the cutting area.

[0053] Specifically, the clamp body 10 is provided with a central post 13, the clamp body 10 is joined around the central post 13 axis, and the arc-shaped elastic part 23 is sleeved on the outer wall of the central post 13;

[0054] The clamp body 10 is also provided with two sets of mounting strips 11. One set of mounting strips 11 is provided with blades 12. The two sets of umbilical cord clamps 20 are symmetrically arranged with the mounting strips 11 as the center.

[0055] In this embodiment, when the clamp body 10 is closed, the umbilical cord can be cut by the blade 12.

[0056] Of course, when the clamp body 10 is closed, the umbilical cord clamp 20 is closed along with the clamp body 10, that is, the first clamping part 21 and the second clamping part 22 are closed together by relative displacement around the axis of the central column 13.

[0057] Specifically, the mounting strip 11 has multiple sets of connection holes 14;

[0058] The umbilical cord clamp 20 is provided with multiple sets of connecting rods 24, and the multiple sets of connecting rods 24 are respectively matched with multiple sets of connecting holes 14. The arc-shaped elastic part 23 is sleeved on the central column 13, so that the connecting rods 24 extend into the connecting holes 14.

[0059] In this embodiment, the connection between the connecting rod 24 and the connecting hole 14 facilitates the connection of the umbilical cord clamp 20 to the mounting strip 11, and also facilitates the removal of the umbilical cord clamp 20 from the clamp body 10 after the cutting is completed.

[0060] Specifically, the outer wall of the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 is provided with a buckle 50;

[0061] The first clamping part 21 has a bevel 27, and a slot 28 is provided at the bevel 27. The buckle 50 cooperates with the slot 28, so that the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 is connected to the first clamping part 21.

[0062] In this embodiment, when the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 moves toward the second limiting hole 29, the buckle 50 is aligned with the slot 28 and the buckle 50 extends into the slot 28, so that the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 is connected to the first clamping part 21, and the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 can be kept stable when the clamp body 10 is closed.

[0063] Specifically, the buckle 50 is provided with a toggle plate 51, the buckle 50 is connected in the slot 28, and the toggle plate 51 does not enter the slot 28.

[0064] In this embodiment, the connection method described above makes it easy to pry the buckle 50 out of the slot 28 by using the toggle plate 51, which facilitates the replacement of the arc-shaped limiting rod 30.

[0065] Specifically, both ends of the first limiting hole 25 and the second limiting hole 29 are provided with conical holes 26 with internal cavities connected, and the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 enters the second limiting hole 29 through the conical holes 26.

[0066] In this embodiment, the conical hole 26 facilitates the insertion of the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 into the first limiting hole 25 and the second limiting hole 29.

[0067] Specifically, the two ends of the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 are provided with actuating rods 40, and a set of actuating rods 40 are provided with a conical part 41, which is located away from the buckle 50.

[0068] In this embodiment, the tapered portion 41 facilitates the insertion of the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 into the second limiting hole 29.

[0069] Specifically, the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 is made of a ductile material, and the actuating rod 40 is made of a rubber material.

[0070] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 is made of a ductile material.

[0071] A method for using an easy-to-operate disposable umbilical cord clamp includes the following steps:

[0072] S1, Limit Insertion:

[0073] Insert the two sets of arc-shaped limiting rods 30 into the two sets of umbilical cord clamps 20 respectively, and install the umbilical cord clamps 20 on the clamp body 10;

[0074] S2, Opening:

[0075] Open the clamp body 10 so that the two sets of umbilical cord clamps 20 are open, and adjust the position of the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 so that the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 does not enter the second limiting hole 29;

[0076] S3, Opening closed:

[0077] Move the two sets of umbilical cord clamps 20 to the umbilical cord position, and move the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 toward the second limiting hole 29 until the buckle 50 is placed in the slot 28, so that the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 passes through the second limiting hole 29 and limits the umbilical cord inside the umbilical cord clamp 20.

[0078] S4. Close the clamps:

[0079] Hold the handle of the clamp body 10 to cut the umbilical cord. At the same time, the clamp body 10 closes and drives the two sets of umbilical cord clamps 20 to close, causing the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 to move in the second limiting hole 29 until the umbilical cord clamps 20 are completely closed.

[0080] S5. Umbilical cord clamp detachment:

[0081] After the clamp body is closed in S4, first move the upper set of arc-shaped limiting rods 30 to disengage the upper umbilical cord clamp 20 from the clamp body 10, and then press the lower set of arc-shaped limiting rods 30 to disengage the lower umbilical cord clamp 20 from the clamp body 10.

[0082] S6, Bending limit:

[0083] When the lower set of umbilical cord clamps 20 detaches from the clamp body 10 during the S5 umbilical cord clamp detachment process, medical staff manually bend the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 to limit the umbilical cord clamps 20.

[0084] In this embodiment, the above-described method of use can prevent the umbilical cord from detaching from the umbilical cord clamp 20 during the cutting process, while also facilitating the detachment of the umbilical cord clamp 20 from the clamp body 10. Furthermore, after the cutting is completed, the arc-shaped limiting rod 30 bends to limit the umbilical cord clamp 20, preventing it from opening and facilitating subsequent disinfection.

[0085] Specifically, in S1, during the limit insertion, when the two sets of umbilical cord clamps 20 are installed, the positions of the two sets of first limit holes 25 and the two sets of second limit holes 29 are aligned.

[0086] In this embodiment, by aligning the positions of the two sets of first limiting holes 25 and the two sets of second limiting holes 29, the two sets of umbilical cord clamps 20 can be symmetrically arranged on the clamp body 10, which facilitates the operation of cutting the umbilical cord regardless of whether it is in the forward or reverse direction.

[0087] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
