Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular relates to an ultrasonic laparoscope cleaner. Background Art

[0002] Laparoscopic surgery has become widely popular nowadays. Ensuring the clarity of the laparoscope lens is the basis for all surgical operations. When the lens is close to observe detailed anatomical structures, it is often contaminated by fat droplets splashed during surgery or smoke generated by electrosurgical cutting of tissues, so it is necessary to clean the lens in time. The most common practice is to soak the lens in hot water in a thermos cup, and then quickly wipe the laparoscope rod and lens with gauze to ensure that the laparoscope re-enters the abdominal cavity at a certain temperature to avoid fogging.

[0003] The disadvantages of this manual lens cleaning method are: hot water immersion does not completely remove stubborn stains such as oil; the lens loses temperature quickly when it is away from the hot water in the thermos cup for a while, and it is easy to fog up again due to the temperature difference when it enters the abdominal cavity again; the operation time is relatively long.
