Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to medical devices, in particular to a portable cleaning clip for endoscope hoses. Background Art

[0002] The cleaning of endoscope hoses is of crucial importance because they come into direct contact with contaminants such as patient body fluids and blood. If not thoroughly cleaned, bacteria and viruses (such as hepatitis B virus and Helicobacter pylori) may remain, leading to a risk of cross-infection.

[0003] The existing method for cleaning the outer surface of endoscope hoses is mainly manual wiping with a cleaning cotton. There are three main drawbacks to using a cleaning cotton for wiping. Firstly, when wiping, the hand is in direct contact with the wiping cotton. Although there is a wiping cotton barrier, the possibility of still coming into contact with contaminants is still very high, and it cannot provide protection for medical staff. Secondly, the wiping cotton is generally in a sheet structure, and its contact surface with the endoscope hose and the cleaning effect completely depend on the operation of the wiping personnel, making it difficult to ensure thorough wiping. In addition, after wiping with a cleaning cotton, the endoscope hose remains wet, which is prone to bacterial growth. If a dry cleaning cotton is used for further wiping, it will increase the additional workload of medical staff. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] To solve the above problems, a portable cleaning clip for endoscope hoses is specially made, which can provide better isolation for medical staff during the cleaning process and can complete the surface cleaning of endoscope hoses faster and more effectively.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the utility model is solved by the following technical solutions: A portable cleaning clip for endoscope hoses includes a clamping mechanism and two symmetric cleaning mechanisms (6). The clamping mechanism includes a holding part (1) and a clamping part (2). A return spring is provided between the two clamping parts (2). In the absence of an external force, the two clamping parts (2) are in a closed state. Each of the two clamping parts (2) is provided with a semi-circular cavity. The two symmetric cleaning mechanisms (6) are respectively arranged in the two semi-circular cavities. When the two symmetric cleaning mechanisms (6) are closed relative to each other, a through hole for the endoscope hose (7) to pass through is formed in the middle.

[0006] Furthermore, a housing cover (5) is also provided between the cleaning mechanism (6) and the semi-circular cavity.

[0007] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism (6) includes a wet compressed cotton part (10), a rubber squeegee (11), and a dry compressed cotton part (12). All three are fixed on the inner wall of the housing cover (5), and the rubber squeegee (11) is arranged between the wet compressed cotton part (10) and the dry compressed cotton part (12).

[0008] Furthermore, the wet compressed cotton part (10), the rubber squeegee (11) and the dry compressed cotton part (12) are all semi-circular rings.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the wet compressed cotton part (10) is greater than that of the dry compressed cotton part (12), the outer diameter of the rubber squeegee (11) is the same as that of the wet compressed cotton part (10), the inner diameter of the wet compressed cotton part (10) is the same as that of the dry compressed cotton part (12), and the inner diameter of the rubber squeegee (11) is smaller than that of the wet compressed cotton part (10).

[0010] Furthermore, a number of hydrophobic holes (9) are provided on the surface of the wet compressed cotton part (10), and the hydrophobic holes (9) penetrate from the outer surface to the inner surface of the wet compressed cotton part (10), and the inner diameter surface of the wet compressed cotton is a wavy structure (8).

[0011] Furthermore, the shell cover (5) is provided with a stepped end face (4), and at least two positioning columns (3) are provided on the stepped end face (4). Corresponding positioning holes are provided on the clamping part (2), and the positioning columns (3) are installed in cooperation with the positioning holes.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. There is a good isolation between the cleaning part and the holding part (1). From the installation, use and disassembly of the cleaning mechanism (6), contact with pollutants can be avoided, effectively ensuring the medical safety of medical staff.

[0014] 2. The cleaning mechanism (6) includes wet sterilization cleaning, water removal cleaning by the rubber squeegee (11), and dry drying cleaning. When in use, it can completely clean the outer surface of the endoscope hose (7) at one time, reducing the workload of medical staff.

[0015] 3. The cleaning mechanism (6) is replaceable. The cleaning mechanism (6) is used as a disposable consumable and is replaced after each use. Moreover, the hand does not need to directly contact the cleaning mechanism (6) during the replacement process, ensuring the medical safety of the operator. Description of the Drawings

Specific embodiments

[0022] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments.

[0023] A portable endoscopic hose cleaning clip includes a clamping mechanism and two symmetrically arranged cleaning mechanisms (6). The clamping mechanism includes a holding part (1) and a clamping part (2). A return spring is provided between the two clamping parts (2). In the absence of external force, the two clamping parts (2) are in a closed state. The two clamping parts (2) are respectively provided with semi-circular cavities. The two symmetrically arranged cleaning mechanisms (6) are respectively arranged in the two semi-circular cavities. When the two symmetrically arranged cleaning mechanisms (6) are closed relative to each other, a through hole for the endoscopic hose (7) to pass through is formed in the middle. A housing cover (5) is also provided between the cleaning mechanism (6) and the semi-circular cavity. The cleaning mechanism (6) includes a wet compressed cotton part (10), a rubber scraper (11), and a dry compressed cotton part (12). All three are fixed on the inner wall of the housing cover (5). The rubber scraper (11) is arranged between the wet compressed cotton part (10) and the dry compressed cotton part (12). The wet compressed cotton part (10), the rubber scraper (11), and the dry compressed cotton part (12) are all semi-circular rings. The outer diameter of the wet compressed cotton part (10) is larger than the outer diameter of the dry compressed cotton part (12). The outer diameter of the rubber scraper (11) is the same as the outer diameter of the wet compressed cotton part (10). The inner diameter of the wet compressed cotton part (10) is the same as the inner diameter of the dry compressed cotton part (12). The inner diameter of the rubber scraper (11) is smaller than the inner diameter of the wet compressed cotton part (10). The surface of the wet compressed cotton part (10) is provided with a number of hydrophobic holes (9). The hydrophobic holes (9) penetrate from the outer surface of the wet compressed cotton part (10) to the inner surface. The inner diameter surface of the wet compressed cotton is a wavy structure (8). The housing cover (5) is provided with a stepped end face (4). At least two positioning columns (3) are provided on the stepped end face (4). Corresponding positioning holes are provided on the clamping part (2). The positioning columns (3) are installed in cooperation with the positioning holes.

[0024] The actual usage method is as follows:

[0025] First, the cleaning of the endoscopic hose (7) involved in this patent targets the outer surface of the endoscopic hose (7) and does not involve internal cleaning. The cleaning process of the endoscopic hose (7) is generally divided into two steps. The first step is preliminary cleaning, and the main objects to be cleaned are obvious particulate matters and liquids with a certain viscosity. The second step is fine cleaning. Generally, the whole hose is placed in an ultrasonic cleaning tank, and through ultrasonic cleaning, the residues of manual cleaning (i.e., preliminary cleaning) are prevented. Generally, due to the long time consumed by fine cleaning and the need for special equipment, fine cleaning is generally carried out by the cleaning personnel uniformly after the hose is used. Before that, preliminary cleaning (disinfection) needs to be carried out, and preliminary cleaning is carried out immediately after the endoscopic hose (7) is used up.

[0026] As a disposable consumable: The cleaning mechanism (6) includes a wet compressed cotton part (10), a dry compressed cotton part (12), a rubber squeegee (11), and a housing cover (5). Among them, the housing cover (5) mainly serves to isolate the clamping mechanism and the cleaning part to prevent the penetration of liquid pollutants.

[0027] Before use, take out the cleaning mechanism (6) from the sealed bag and assemble the cleaning mechanism (6) and the clamping mechanism. The assembly method is to align the positioning post (3) on the step end face (4) of the housing cover (5) with the positioning hole on the clamping part (2), and the two are connected by plugging.

[0028] When the endoscope is in use, the endoscopic hose cleaning device can be clamped at the upper end of the hose. When the endoscope is used up, pull the endoscopic hose cleaning device downward from the upper end of the endoscopic hose (7) until the endoscopic hose cleaning device detaches from the bottom of the endoscopic hose (7).

[0029] Among them, the wet compressed cotton part (10) can be soaked with physiological saline or disinfectant alcohol, and a small amount of paraffin liquid can be added if necessary to make it more lubricated. Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the hydrophobic holes (9) can help the internal flow of physiological saline and disinfectant alcohol during the cleaning process. The principle is that during the wiping process, through the hollow structure of the hydrophobic holes (9), the wet compressed cotton part (10) is kept pressed - released, showing a similar "breathing" effect. This action can accelerate the internal liquid flow of the wet compressed cotton part (10). Especially during the wiping process of the hose, the hydrophobic holes (9) can help the physiological saline and disinfectant alcohol quickly penetrate to the surface of the wet compressed cotton part (10). The wavy structure (8) on the inner diameter surface can, on the one hand, increase the friction of wiping, and on the other hand, adapt to the curvature of the inner diameter hose to ensure that its wiping surface always fits the endoscopic hose (7).

[0030] The rubber squeegee (11) is mainly used for scraping water from the endoscopic hose (7) that has been wiped and disinfected by the wet compressed cotton part (10). After being treated by the rubber squeegee (7), the surface of the rubber hose (7) is basically in a dry state, and then the final water removal and cleaning are carried out by the dry compressed cotton part (12).

[0031] After the cleaning is completed, the operator only needs to apply pressure to the positioning post (3) from the outside of the clamping part (2), and the cleaning mechanism (6) can be detached from the clamping part (2).

[0032] This endoscopic hose cleaner is mainly applicable to gastroscopes and colonoscopes. The hoses of gastroscopes and colonoscopes are relatively large in diameter and thick in wall thickness, and the wiping and cleaning process will not cause damage to the inside of the endoscope.

[0033] The thickness of the wet compressed cotton part (10) is about 4 to 5 millimeters, and the thickness of the dry compressed cotton part (12) is about 2 to 3 millimeters.

[0034] Figure 5 The actual use effects and methods of this portable hose cleaner are shown.

[0035] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present utility model, the present utility model can be implemented in other specific forms. Therefore, in any regard, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, it is intended to include all changes that fall within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims in the present utility model.
