A uterine probe

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of uterine probe technology. It further relates to a uterine probe, comprising: a probe body, wherein the insertion end of the probe body is provided with a flexible end, the flexible end being used to isolate the insertion end of the probe body from the uterus during insertion. This application, by providing a flexible end at the insertion end of the probe body, utilizes a soft texture, offering better flexibility and cushioning compared to traditional metal probes. During the probe insertion process, the flexible end effectively reduces pressure and stimulation on the uterine wall, thereby lowering the risk of uterine perforation. The soft texture of the flexible end also reduces patient discomfort and improves the patient's medical experience. Furthermore, due to the reduced risk of uterine perforation, the patient's psychological burden is correspondingly alleviated.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of uterine probes, and more specifically, to a uterine probe. Background Art

[0002] In the clinical practice of obstetrics and gynecology, the uterine probe is an indispensable medical device used to detect the direction, position and depth of the uterus. This detection process is crucial for a variety of surgical and diagnostic operations, such as placement of intrauterine contraceptive devices, artificial abortion, endometrial biopsy, etc. Traditional uterine probes are usually made of metal materials and are widely used because of their durability and easy cleaning and disinfection.

[0003] However, the metal uterine probe also exposes some problems during use. The front end of the metal probe is hard and lacks sufficient softness and elasticity. It is easy to produce direct and hard stimulation to the uterine wall during operation. This stimulation may cause damage to the uterine wall, and even cause uterine perforation in severe cases, causing serious physical harm and psychological burden to the patient. Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed a uterine probe.

[0004] For example, a Chinese patent (publication number CN216060507U) discloses a new type of uterine probe for clinical use in obstetrics and gynecology. Its specification discloses: There are some problems in the use of the current uterine probe: when the uterine probe enters the cervix, the flesh wall easily clamps the probe. If the probe continues to enter the deep part of the uterine cavity, the uterus is easily damaged due to the delicate flesh wall of the uterus. Therefore, a new type of uterine probe for clinical use in obstetrics and gynecology is proposed. The above patent can prove the defects of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the embodiments of the utility model is that the front end of the metal probe is hard and easily produces direct and hard stimulation to the uterine wall during operation, and such stimulation may cause damage to the uterine wall.

[0012] As an improved manner of the present invention, a second slot is provided at one end of the flexible end close to the probe body, and an inner wall of the second slot is fixedly plugged with the probe body.

[0013] As an improvement of the utility model, a handle is provided at one end of the probe body away from the flexible end, and the handle is used for holding by medical personnel during operation.

[0014] As an improved manner of the present invention, the handle is fixedly connected to an end of the probe body away from the flexible end.

[0015] As an improved manner of the present invention, the handle is detachably connected to an end of the probe body away from the flexible end, and a connecting piece is provided between the handle and the probe body.

It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0028] As described in the background technology, metal uterine probes also expose some problems during use. The front end of the metal probe is hard and lacks sufficient softness and elasticity. It is easy to produce direct and hard stimulation to the uterine wall during operation. This stimulation may cause damage to the uterine wall and even cause uterine perforation in severe cases, causing serious physical harm and psychological burden to the patient.

[0029] In order to solve this technical problem, the utility model provides a uterine probe.

[0030] Specifically, the uterine probe specifically includes:

[0031] The probe body 1 has an insertion end provided with a flexible end 2, and the flexible end 2 is used to isolate the insertion end of the probe body 1 from the uterus during the insertion process.

[0032] The uterine probe provided by the utility model is provided with a flexible end 2 at the insertion end of the probe body 1. The flexible end 2 is soft in texture and has better flexibility and cushioning than traditional metal probes. During the detection process, the flexible end 2 can effectively reduce the pressure and stimulation on the uterine wall, thereby reducing the risk of uterine perforation. The soft texture of the flexible end 2 can reduce the patient's discomfort and improve the patient's medical experience. At the same time, since the risk of uterine perforation is reduced, the patient's psychological burden will also be reduced accordingly.

[0033] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the utility model, the technical solution in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
