Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to an ultrasonic probe cleaner. Background Art
[0002] With the advancement of science and technology, ultrasonic imaging technology has gradually become an important means of medical diagnosis. Ultrasonic imaging technology can obtain image information of internal organs of the human body by detecting the reflection and scattering of sound waves from human tissues, thereby realizing early diagnosis and treatment of diseases. At present, ultrasonic technology has become one of the most commonly used non-invasive examination methods in medical imaging. When the existing ultrasonic detector is working, it is necessary to first apply a layer of coupling agent on the skin surface. The coupling agent can prevent gaps between the skin and the probe surface, affecting detection. Then, the probe is made to fit the skin and image is formed on the ultrasonic detector. After the detection is completed, the probe is wiped clean. When the traditional ultrasonic detector is working, the ultrasonic probe is generally in contact with the skin and is simply wiped after use. There may be bacteria and virus residues on the probe surface, so the probe needs to be disinfected and disinfected. For this reason, we propose an ultrasonic probe cleaner. Utility Model Content
