Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a protective cover, in particular to an esophageal ultrasonic probe protective cover, belonging to the technical field of medical equipment. Background Art

[0002] During transesophageal ultrasound examination, the ultrasound probe needs to be implanted into the human esophagus and directly contact the esophageal mucosa. There is a possibility that the probe may damage the esophageal mucosa. Therefore, the disinfection of the TEE ultrasound probe after surgery is a problem. At present, the esophageal ultrasound probe is usually disinfected and soaked in a solution such as Chlorhexidine. However, in view of the increasing number of patients and their fear of various types of hepatitis and HIV, there are more and more requirements for protective covers for transesophageal ultrasound probes. Especially during intraoperative transesophageal ultrasound monitoring, due to time constraints and the limited number of transesophageal ultrasound probes, there is a huge risk of cross-infection between patients. The requirements for protective covers for transesophageal ultrasound probes are the most urgent.

[0003] Through patent search, it was found that the publication number is: CN213606463U, which discloses a multifunctional disposable esophageal ultrasound probe sterile protective cover. In addition to reducing the spread of diseases and medical cross-infection, the most important thing is that when there is too much air in the stomach, part of the air in the stomach can be sucked away through the suction tube. When coupling agent needs to be added, it can be added through the coupling agent adding tube, which greatly ensures the clarity of the image.

[0004] Publication number: CN213606463U. During the use of the disclosed multifunctional disposable esophageal ultrasound probe sterile protective cover, the protective cover is directly put on the probe surface. During the detection process, a large amount of air is contained in the protective cover, which causes the probe and the inner wall of the protective cover to be unable to fit tightly together, which will affect the detection accuracy of the esophagus. In order to solve the above problem, the present application proposes an esophageal ultrasound probe protective cover. Utility Model Content
