Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical auxiliary equipment, in particular to a medical transesophageal echocardiography examination drape. Background Art
[0002] With the improvement of minimally invasive surgery volume and surgical methods in cardiology, a medical examination method of exploring the structure and function of the heart from behind is needed before surgery. Because the esophagus is close to the posterior wall of the heart, interference from the lungs or chest wall can be avoided, and the structure of the heart can be clearly displayed, including the left and right atrial appendages, which cannot be displayed or cannot be clearly displayed by transthoracic echocardiography.
[0003] During this examination, the patient is required to lie on his left side, and a thicker ultrasound probe is inserted into the esophagus or stomach through the mouth. During the examination, the probe needs to be moved forward, backward, rotated, flexed, and tilted back. Under the stimulation of the probe, the patient will have a nausea reaction and a large amount of saliva will be secreted involuntarily in the mouth. Although the examination is required to be performed on an empty stomach, gastric retained fluid and oral secretions will still flow out of the mouth, contaminating the bed sheets or the patient's clothing, causing trouble to the patient and the operator.
[0004] In the past, we often placed waterproof plastic paper, thick toilet paper, a tray or used urine pad-like towels on the patient's lower jaw and shoulders. These methods are not only unsightly, but may also cause saliva to leak out and soak the patient's clothes or bed sheets due to the patient's shifting position during the examination, causing discomfort to the patient and generating more medical waste. It is also easy for secretions to overflow when medical staff clean up, affecting the efficiency of the examination and increasing the cost of waste disposal.
[0005] CN218128754U discloses a multi-purpose drape, including a drape body, a hanging belt connected to the drape body, a binding belt, an absorption structure including a water-absorbing sponge installed on the drape body, a storage pocket installed on the drape body, and a weight-increasing structure at the end of the drape body. However, the storage pocket of the application cannot completely collect all the water, and when in use, the liquid easily flows out of the storage pocket. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a medical transesophageal echocardiography examination drape in order to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned prior art. The examination drape can prevent moisture or other secretions from flowing out of the drape, and is firmly installed and easy to handle.
[0007] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0008] A medical transesophageal echocardiography drape comprises a drape body, a folded portion folded upward along an edge of the drape body to form a U-shaped groove with the drape body and used to prevent secretions from leaking, and a fixing portion extending from the folded portion and fixing the drape body to a patient's neck.
[0009] The fixing portion includes a first Velcro extending from the folding portion and a second Velcro arranged on the drape body, and the first Velcro is adhered to the second Velcro.
[0010] The folding portion includes a first folding section connected to the drape body, a second folding section connected to the drape body and the first folding section, and a third folding section connected to the drape body and the second folding section, and the fixing portion extends from the third folding section.
[0011] The drape body comprises a permeable material piece, a water-absorbing material piece, and a first waterproof material piece which are sequentially arranged from top to bottom, and the permeable material piece and the folding portion form a groove.
[0012] Furthermore, the drape body is provided with a contoured groove formed with the fixing portion for the patient's neck to pass through.
[0013] Furthermore, the first Velcro and the second Velcro are made of elastic material.
[0014] Furthermore, the opposite sides of the first Velcro and the second Velcro to which they are adhered are respectively provided with skin-friendly material layers.
[0015] Furthermore, a surface of the drape body opposite to the folding direction of the folding portion is provided with a plurality of adhesive backings.
[0016] Furthermore, the adhesive surface of the back adhesive faces in the opposite direction to the folding direction of the folding portion.
[0017] Furthermore, the folded portion is a second waterproof material piece.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. The permeable material piece, the water-absorbing material piece, and the first waterproof material piece of the drape body of the utility model are arranged so that the water or secretions are completely absorbed, and the arrangement of the edge folding part can avoid the water or secretions wetting the patient's clothes and examination sheets to the greatest extent, which takes the patient's interests into consideration to the greatest extent and embodies humanistic care.
[0020] 2. The first Velcro and the second Velcro of the fixing part of the utility model can adjust the size of the loop as needed to improve the comfort of the patient.
[0021] 3. The first Velcro and adhesive tape of the fixing part of the utility model can be quickly rolled up after the inspection is completed, so as to quickly clean up medical waste, reduce the cost of medical waste cleaning, and improve work efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
