Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and more specifically, relates to a laparoscope protective cover. Background Art
[0002] In the field of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic surgery is widely adopted due to its minimal trauma and rapid recovery. Protecting the laparoscopic lens is particularly important in this type of surgery to ensure image clarity and the functionality of the surgical instruments during surgery. Existing laparoscopic protective sleeve designs typically consist of a cannula and a cannula head that secures the lens, but these designs have limitations. Furthermore, the temperature difference between the laparoscope entering the body from outside the body can easily cause the lens to fog, affecting the operator's vision.
[0003] For example, patent document CN219374614U describes a laparoscope protective cover, which includes a sleeve for fixing the lens and a protective cover. However, the design lacks an effective anti-slip mechanism, which can easily cause the lens to fall off during surgery, affecting the safety and efficiency of the operation. In addition, patent document US2014 / 0123789A1 proposes a laparoscope protective cover with a fixed clamp, but its clamp design is relatively simple and cannot adapt to sleeves of different diameters, limiting its versatility on different surgical instruments. In order to solve the above problems, some improvement measures have been proposed in the prior art. For example, patent document EP2345678B1 introduces a laparoscope protective cover with a lens inlay groove made of elastic material to improve the stability of the lens. Despite this, these designs still fail to provide a solution that can adapt to sleeves of different diameters and provide stable sealing performance. Utility Model Content
