Description

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical treatment and medical equipment, and in particular to an improved soft pad used for isolating, wrapping and transferring medical equipment, and a method for using the same. Background Art

[0002] The cushion involved in the present application is used to wrap and transfer medical equipment during the use of medical equipment, especially when the equipment needs to be isolated. The cushion does not require particularly strict isolation during use. It is usually sufficient to weaken or isolate the air circulation inside and outside the package. By properly tightening the bag mouth, it can further prevent bacterial invasion and build a temporary sterile environment. Or after the medical equipment is used, the liquid attached to the equipment is adsorbed by the absorbent material to prevent these liquids from being exposed to the environment. Afterwards, these liquids can be easily recovered or safely discharged to a designated place; in addition, the wrapping bag formed by the isolation sheet can also effectively prevent possible biohazardous components attached to the medical equipment after use from threatening the health of medical staff. The usual structure includes a sheet-like isolation sheet and an absorbent material attached to the isolation sheet. The shape of the absorbent material can be any shape, but for the purpose of saving materials, the isolation sheet should be formed into a bag so that the absorbent material therein can wrap as much of the medical equipment therein as possible. In the prior art, patent document CN 107187719 A records that the purpose of making the bag opening more uniform is achieved by changing the shape of the isolation sheet, which can quickly shrink to form the bag opening and reduce damage at the opening.

[0003] However, it was found through actual use that when there are a lot of liquids or other solid objects on the cushion or there are some protrusions, after being inserted into the bag, the liquids and solid objects are concentrated in the middle of the cushion due to the influence of gravity, which can easily cause uneven force on the cushion and cause damage. Since medical staff generally hope to avoid repackaging these liquids and solid objects to prevent accidental leakage, the structure of the cushion needs to be further improved. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims to address the disadvantage in the prior art that when a cushion forms a bag opening after the tether is tightened, the bag opening shrinks, causing the liquid and solid objects in the bag to concentrate in the middle of the cushion, which easily leads to damage of the cushion. The present invention provides an improved cushion for isolating, wrapping and transferring medical equipment, and improves the bearing capacity of the isolation plate by arranging a temporary support strip at the bottom of the isolation plate, thereby saving costs.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention can adopt the following technical solutions: An improved soft cushion for isolating, wrapping and transferring medical equipment, comprising an isolation sheet, a water-absorbing sheet, a lacing device and at least one supporting strip; wherein: The isolation sheet is made of a soft material that cannot absorb or has a very low liquid absorption rate; The isolation sheet includes a side portion extending from the edge of the isolation sheet in a direction away from the isolation sheet; The side portion includes at least one curved edge; The curved edge includes a curved edge of a side portion extending substantially around the center of the separator as viewed from one side of the separator; The absorbent sheet is made of a material capable of absorbing liquid and covers at least a portion of one side of the isolation sheet; The lacing device comprises a tubular lacing tube extending along the edge of the isolation plate and a lacing rope arranged in the lacing tube and capable of sliding relative to the lacing tube; The tie tube further comprises an opening through which the tie rope can be pulled out to shrink the tie tube in the length direction so that the isolation sheet forms wrinkles along the edge; The support strip is located in the middle of the other side of the isolation sheet relative to the water-absorbing sheet, and part or all of the support strip is in close contact with the isolation sheet and is fixedly connected to the isolation sheet.

[0006] As an optional solution, the support strip is a strip with a length greater than the width and a length greater than 50% of the length of the spacer, and a width greater than 10% of the width of the spacer. The length of the support strip is less than 70% of the length of the spacer. Based on actual use, it is found that the spacer is more likely to break due to pulling or internal sharp objects, mainly because the spacer itself is a long strip. After the laces are tightened, the force in the length direction is greater due to the laces, and the influence of the contents makes it more likely to break in the length direction. In addition, the main reason for the rupture of the spacer is its own insufficient strength, especially when the weight of the contents is large. Even if tape is pasted on the bottom, the spacer will be stretched and torn at the edge where the tape and the spacer are released, unless the entire spacer is covered and pasted with tape, but this is obviously inconvenient to use and will also lead to waste.

[0007] As an optional solution, one side of the support bar is coated with adhesive at both ends of the support bar for fixing the support bar to the isolation sheet before use.

[0008] As an optional solution, the support bar is coated with glue at two sides along the length direction of the support bar.

[0009] With respect to the improved soft pad for isolating, wrapping and transferring medical equipment recorded above, the present application also records the following specific method of use, including an isolation sheet, an absorbent sheet, a lacing device and at least one support bar, wherein the support bar is located in the middle of the other side of the isolation sheet relative to the absorbent sheet, and part or all of the support bar is tightly attached to the isolation sheet and fixedly connected to the isolation sheet; wherein the support bar is fixed along the length direction of the isolation sheet.

[0010] As an optional solution, adhesive is applied on both ends of one side of the support bar for fixing the support bar to the isolation sheet before use. When in use, the isolation sheet portion corresponding to the middle of the support bar is tightened to form wrinkles and then the support bar and the isolation sheet are fixed to each other.

[0011] As an optional solution, when multiple support strips are used, at least one support strip is fixed along the length direction of the isolation sheet, and one end of the other support strips is connected to the support strip. From the perspective of practical use, since the rupture of the isolation sheet is mainly due to tearing caused by the inability to bear the weight of the contents, the specific fixing method of the support strip can improve the bearing capacity of the isolation sheet. A better fixing method is a zigzag or Z-shaped method, which can bear more and heavier contents with fewer support strips.

[0012] The present invention has the following significant technical effects: The bearing capacity of the isolation plate can be improved without changing the original structure and materials of the cushion. The support bars can be increased or decreased and the fixing direction of the support bars can be changed according to the actual weight of the liquid and solid objects that need to be carried. Only a small number of support bars are needed to effectively reduce the possibility of isolation plate rupture. There is no need to repack the contents of the cushion, and the cushion is compatible with existing cushions.

[0013] Secondly, the support bar only needs to have a basic level of firmness, and there is no need to use overly tough materials. Recyclable materials can be used, which is low-cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments. Example

[0016] See Figure 1 , 2, an improved cushion for isolating, wrapping and transferring medical equipment, based on the improvement of the existing cushion, including an isolation sheet 100, an absorbent sheet 200, a lacing device 300 and at least one support bar 400. In actual use, the cushion is used to wrap objects with a large amount of liquid. The absorbent sheet is used to absorb excess liquid to prevent contamination. The lacing device is used to tighten the isolation sheet to form a pocket package and to prevent the contents from contacting the outside of the cushion to a certain extent. In order to reduce the contact between the contents and the outside, the contents are usually wrapped at one time. The isolation sheet is a plastic film. In order to prevent rupture, it is necessary to fix the support strip on the back of the isolation sheet, usually by gluing. The material of the support strip is generally a degradable material or a plastic film similar to the isolation sheet. The lacing device is formed by flipping the edge of the isolation sheet outward and passing a rope through the cavity formed after the flip. After the lacing is tightened, the edge of the isolation sheet can be tightened to form a pocket shape.

[0017] The isolation sheet 100 is made of a soft material that cannot absorb or has a very low liquid absorption rate; the isolation sheet 100 includes a side portion 101 extending from the edge of the isolation sheet 100 in a direction away from the isolation sheet 100; the side portion 101 includes at least one curved edge 102; the curved edge 102 includes a curved edge of the side portion 101 extending approximately around the center of the isolation sheet when observed from one side of the isolation sheet 100; the absorbent sheet 200 is made of a material that can absorb liquid and covers at least a partial area on one side of the isolation sheet 100; the lacing device 300 includes a tubular lacing tube 301 extending along the edge of the isolation sheet 100 and a lacing rope 302 arranged in the lacing tube 301 and capable of sliding relative to the lacing tube 301; the lacing tube 301 also includes an opening 303 through which the lacing rope 302 can be pulled out to shrink the lacing tube 301 in the length direction so that the isolation sheet 100 forms wrinkles along the edge.

[0018] The support bar 400 is located in the middle of the other side of the isolation sheet 100 relative to the absorbent sheet 200, and is fixed to the outside of the isolation sheet 100, so it will not affect the contents of the cushion. Part or all of the support bar 400 is tightly attached to the isolation sheet and fixedly connected to the isolation sheet.

[0019] The support strip 400 is a strip with a length greater than the width and a length greater than 50% of the length of the spacer 100, a width greater than 10% of the width of the spacer, and a length less than 70% of the length of the spacer 100. Since the pocket shape formed by the spacer after the laces are tightened is roughly a downward curve, it is found in actual use that the length of the support strip cannot be too short and needs to be longer than half the length of the entire spacer, but it cannot be too long, otherwise the adhesive applied on the support strip is applied in zones, so that the support strip cannot disperse the force concentrated in the lower part of the pocket shape. In addition, an overly long support strip will also cause it to bear the force that should have been borne by the spacer, so more support strips need to be pasted.

[0020] Since the rupture of the isolation sheet 100 is usually located at the edge of the support bar 400, the adhesive coated on the support bar 400 is not coated on the entire sheet, but only on a partitioned basis, and the length of the edge of the coated area is increased. One side of the support bar 400 is fully coated with adhesive for fixing and connecting with the isolation sheet 100 before use. One side of the support bar 400 is located at both ends of the support bar 400 and is respectively coated with adhesive for fixing and connecting with the isolation sheet 100 before use. The adhesive coating of the support bar 400 is: adhesive coating is applied on both sides along the length direction of the support bar 400.

[0021] In order to better improve the use effect of the support strip 400 and increase the load-bearing capacity of the isolation sheet 100, the present embodiment also includes a method for using an improved soft cushion for isolation, wrapping and transfer of medical equipment, comprising an isolation sheet 100, an absorbent sheet 200, a lacing device 300 and at least one support strip 400, wherein the support strip 400 is located in the middle of the other side of the isolation sheet 100 relative to the absorbent sheet 200, and part or all of the support strip 400 is in close contact with and fixedly connected to the isolation sheet; wherein the support strip 400 is fixed along the length direction of the isolation sheet 100. This is because the length of the isolation sheet 100 itself is greater than the width, resulting in more distortion and force in the length direction.

[0022] One side of the support bar 400 is coated with adhesive at both ends of the support bar 400 for fixing the isolation sheet 100 before use. When in use, the isolation sheet 100 portion corresponding to the middle of the support bar 400 is tightened to form wrinkles and then the support bar 400 and the isolation sheet 100 are fixed to each other, which can better reduce the stress on the bottom area of ​​the isolation sheet 100 located in the pocket shape formed after the tie is tightened.

[0023] When multiple support bars 400 are used, at least one support bar 400 is fixed along the length direction of the isolation sheet 100, and one end of the other support bars 400 is connected to the support bar 400. When the cushion contains a lot of content, the support bars 400 are fixed in a zigzag or Z shape, so that the maximum load-bearing capacity can be obtained while using the least number of support bars 400.

[0024] In conclusion, the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention should fall within the scope of the patent of the present invention.
