Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a disposable vaginal secretion collection bag. Background Art

[0002] Vaginal discharge examination (including routine vaginal discharge examination and testing for mycoplasma and chlamydia) is one of the most common gynecological examinations. Routine vaginal discharge examinations primarily examine vaginal pH, vaginal cleanliness, and vaginal microbiome to determine if a woman has abnormal vaginal discharge. It is a vital part of women's physiologic hygiene. Routine vaginal discharge examinations are performed during routine physical examinations, vaginal inflammation, and preoperative gynecological examinations. During the examination, the patient lies supine on a gynecological examination table. The physician uses a vaginal dilator to open the vagina, exposing the vagina and cervix. A cotton swab or swab is then used to collect secretions. A small amount of normal saline is then poured into a specimen collection tube. The swab is removed and placed in a saline-filled specimen collection tube for delivery to the laboratory for testing. The method for collecting vaginal discharge for mycoplasma and chlamydia testing is similar to that for routine vaginal discharge examinations, but the swab is placed directly into the specimen collection tube instead of into the saline-filled tube. Testing is then performed after delivery.

[0003] Before conducting an examination, the doctor needs to spend a lot of time preparing various items such as disposable dilators, cotton swabs or swabs, normal saline and specimen collection storage tubes, and lay a disposable treatment sheet for the patient. The patient exposes her vagina on the gynecological examination bed, and the doctor uses a disposable dilator to open the patient's vulva and vagina. If one of the items is temporarily missing or missed, the doctor will have increased inconvenience in operating after wearing sterile gloves, which will waste the doctor's examination time and prolong the patient's waiting time on the gynecological examination bed, which will indirectly increase the patient's discomfort.
