Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical device auxiliary tools, and in particular to a novel probe protective cover for an ultrasonic probe. Background Art

[0002] With the development of modern medicine, ultrasound, as an important part of imaging technology, is increasingly used in clinical practice, including interventional ultrasound. Ultrasound interventional surgery is an invasive surgery, and the ultrasound probe, as a non-sterile component, cannot be directly used for ultrasound examination or guidance of invasive parts. In this case, doctors usually use a disposable sterile probe protective cover to cover the outer layer of the ultrasound probe to isolate the ultrasound probe from the patient and prevent wound infection.

[0003] Currently, wide sterile covers or sterile gloves are usually used as protective covers for ultrasound probes in clinical practice. However, during the use of such protective covers, different patients need to replace different protective covers to avoid cross infection when using ultrasound probes, which results in a large waste of resources. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present application provides a novel probe protective cover for an ultrasound probe to solve the technical problem that the inventors recognize that currently in clinical practice, wide sterile covers or sterile gloves are usually used as protective covers for ultrasound probes. However, during the use of such protective covers, different patients need to replace different protective covers to avoid cross infection when using ultrasound probes, which causes a lot of resource waste.

[0005] The present application provides a novel probe protective cover for an ultrasound probe, comprising a cover body, the interior of the cover body is provided with perforations, the surface of the cover body is detachably connected to a cover head, the cover head is located at one end of the cover body, the cover body is made of elastic material, and the cover head is made of disposable flexible material.

[0006] In any of the above technical solutions, further, the housing includes a probe grip section and a pipeline fixing section, a tightening cavity is provided inside the pipeline fixing section, a tightening belt is connected to the inside of the tightening cavity, and the other end of the tightening belt extends to the outside of the housing.

[0007] In any of the above technical solutions, further, the front side of the tightening belt is provided with a knotted surface, the back side of the tightening belt is provided with an adhesive surface, and the distance between the knotted surface and the adhesive surface is greater than the circumference of the inner wall of the sleeve.

[0008] In any of the above technical solutions, further, the tightening belt is made of elastic material.

[0009] In any of the above technical solutions, further, an anti-slip soft bag is provided on the inner wall of the probe grip section.

[0010] In any of the above technical solutions, further, the surface of the probe grip section is provided with anti-slip patterns.

[0011] In any of the above technical solutions, further, the surface of the sleeve body is detachably connected to the sleeve head via a buckle, a mother-and-child buckle or Velcro.

[0012] In any of the above technical solutions, further, the number of the tightening cavity, the tightening belt, the knot surface and the bonding surface is at least one.

[0013] In any of the above technical solutions, further, the material of the sleeve body and the tightening belt is selected from any one of latex, silicone and rubber.

[0014] In any of the above technical solutions, further, the material of the sleeve is selected from any one of thermoplastic polyurethane and polyethylene.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this application are mainly:

[0016] 1. Insert the ultrasound probe into the hole of the sleeve in advance. The elastic factor of the sleeve body will preliminarily fix the ultrasound probe. Then fix the sleeve head to the sleeve body. The sleeve head will contact the patient's skin. Only the sleeve head needs to be replaced later to reduce resource waste.

[0017] 2. After the ultrasonic probe is inserted into the hole of the sleeve, the tightening belt can be pulled out and wrapped around the ultrasonic probe, and finally the knot surface and the bonding surface are in contact with each other to fix the ultrasonic probe. At the same time, the anti-slip soft bag will contact the ultrasonic probe to reduce the probability of slipping of the ultrasonic probe during use.
