Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical consumables technology, and in particular to a sterile drape for operating a flexible cystoscope in a supine position. Background Technology

[0002] Draping is a crucial step in flexible cystoscopy, aiming to create a sterile environment for the surgical area, prevent infection, and facilitate the procedure. The patient requires appropriate cleaning and disinfection, such as cleaning and disinfecting the perineum. Simultaneously, the patient needs to assume a suitable position, usually supine, to facilitate the surgical procedure.

[0003] During flexible cystoscopy, continuous irrigation is required to lubricate the insertion point of the cystoscope, which can cause leakage from the urethra into the perineal area. Traditional sterile drapes are designed with a waterproof bag to collect this leakage, but when the patient is in a supine position, leakage from the urethra may flow towards the patient's abdomen, causing the patient and clothing to become wet and creating a poor surgical environment.

[0004] Therefore, the aforementioned technical deficiencies urgently need to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide a sterile drape for performing flexible cystoscopy in the supine position, which aims to prevent exudate from the patient's perineum from flowing to the upper and sides of the patient's abdomen, so as to facilitate medical staff to perform flexible cystoscopy on the patient.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a sterile drape for performing flexible cystoscopy in the supine position, comprising:

[0007] The main body of the sheet is a waterproof sheet. The main body of the sheet has an operating opening. A leak-proof adhesive ring is set around the edge of the operating opening on the main body of the sheet. The leak-proof adhesive ring is used to stick to the patient's perineum.

[0008] The curved barrier is set on the main body of the drape and surrounds the operating opening. The curved barrier is used to guide the seepage from the patient's perineum to flow downward along the outer edge of the drape.

[0031] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described above can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0032] On the one hand, this utility model provides such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a sterile drape for performing flexible cystoscopy in a supine position can be draped over a patient to facilitate the procedure and prevent leakage from the patient or operating table. The main structure includes a drape body 1, an arc-shaped barrier 2, and a collection bag 3. In use, the entire drape body 1 is laid on the patient. In some embodiments, the drape body 1 is waterproof to prevent liquid soaking. The drape body 1 has an operating opening 11. A leak-proof adhesive ring 12 is positioned around the edge of the operating opening 11 on the drape body 1. The leak-proof adhesive ring 12 is used to adhere to the patient's perineum, exposing the patient's private parts and facilitating cystoscopy procedures. An arc-shaped barrier 2 is installed on the drape body 1 and surrounds the operating opening 11. The arc-shaped barrier 2 guides perineal exudate downwards along the outer edge of the drape body 1, preventing fluid from flowing towards the upper and sides of the patient's abdomen. A collection bag 3 is detachably connected to the drape body 1 and is used to collect exudate. The side opening of the arc-shaped barrier 2 faces the collection bag 3, allowing exudate from the perineum to flow into the collection bag 3. In some embodiments, the collection bag 3 is a waterproof collection bag, and the arc-shaped barrier 2 is a waterproof barrier.

[0033] It should be noted that during flexible cystoscopy, continuous irrigation is required to lubricate the insertion point of the cystoscope. This can cause leakage from the urethral opening into the perineal area and around the patient's abdomen. Traditional sterile drapes are designed with a waterproof bag to collect this leakage, but when the patient is in a supine position, leakage from the urethral opening may flow into the patient's abdomen, causing the patient and their clothing to become wet. This creates a poor surgical environment.

[0034] This application's solution effectively blocks perineal exudate through the arc-shaped enclosure 2. During a flexible cystoscopy, the patient is first placed in a supine position. The drape 1 is then placed over the patient. An anti-leakage adhesive ring 12 is attached around the perineum, exposing the patient's private parts through the operating port 11 to facilitate the doctor's operation of the flexible cystoscope. The arc-shaped enclosure 2 prevents exudate from flowing from the perineum towards the upper and sides of the patient's abdomen, directing the exudate towards the collection bag 3. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the collection bag 3 has a drain outlet at its bottom. During use, the exudate collected by the collection bag 3 can flow out through the drain outlet, and medical personnel can place a bucket at the bottom of the collection bag 3 to receive the exudate, thereby reducing the burden on the collection bag 3.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the collection bag 3 includes a support frame 31 and a collection bag body 32. The support frame 31 is detachably connected to the sheet body. The opening edge of the collection bag body 32 is connected to the support frame 31. The support frame 31 is used to support the collection bag body 32. At least one connector 311 is provided on the support frame 31. The support frame 31 is detachably connected to the sheet body 1 through the connector 311.

[0036] In this embodiment, the connector 311 has an arc-shaped structure, and its curvature is approximately the same as that of the human thigh root. Furthermore, the curvature of the connector 311 is adjustable. In use, the support frame 31 is hung at the patient's thigh root via the connector 311, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the support frame 31.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, an adhesive tape 321 is provided on one side of the opening of the collection bag body 32, and the opening of the collection bag body 32 is attached to the sheet body 1 by the adhesive tape 321. The adhesive tape 321 connects the collection bag body 32 to the sheet body 1, allowing the seepage collected on the arc-shaped barrier 2 to flow smoothly onto the collection bag body 32. The adhesive tape 321 prevents seepage leakage.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the support frame 31 has an elliptical frame structure and is a malleable support frame 31. The malleable support frame 31 can be adjusted according to the position of the patient's groin. The malleable support frame 31 allows the opening of the collection bag body 32 to be as large as possible, thereby effectively preventing leakage.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, at least two connectors 311 are symmetrically arranged on the support frame 31. The connectors 311 are metal arc-shaped connectors 311, which are used to hang on the patient's groin.

[0040] Furthermore, the collection bag body 32 is a waterproof plastic bag.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the arc-shaped enclosure 2 includes a waterproof fabric strip 21 and an elastic support 22. The waterproof fabric strip 21 is sewn to the sheet body 1, and the elastic support 22 supports the waterproof fabric strip 21 so that the waterproof fabric strip 21 forms an enclosure structure around the operating opening 11. Because the waterproof fabric strip 21 is relatively soft, it needs to be supported by the elastic support 22. This allows one side of the waterproof fabric strip 21 to unfold upwards to form the enclosure structure. The enclosure structure is set around the operating opening 11, and the opening of the enclosure structure faces the collection bag 3.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the drape body 1 is provided with at least one receiving bag 13, which is used to hold surgical instruments. In some embodiments, the receiving bag 13 is positioned on the drape body 1 corresponding to the two sides of the patient's abdomen. When the drape is placed on the patient, the receiving bag 13 will naturally droop under the action of gravity, with the opening of the receiving bag 13 facing upwards, so that medical staff can place examination instruments.

[0043] Furthermore, the containment bag 13 is a malleable bag. Medical staff can adjust the malleable bag as needed, allowing the containment bag 13 to accommodate examination instruments of different shapes.

[0044] Furthermore, the operating port 11 is located near the center of the drape body 1, so that the periphery of the drape body 1 has sufficient size to cover the patient's body, making it easier for the drape body 1 to be laid out.

[0045] In summary, this application provides a sterile drape for performing flexible cystoscopy in a supine position. When performing a flexible cystoscopy, the patient is first placed in a supine position. Then, the drape body 1 is placed over the patient. An anti-leakage adhesive ring 12 is attached around the patient's perineum, exposing the patient's private parts through the operating port 11 to facilitate the doctor's operation of the flexible cystoscope. The arc-shaped barrier 2 prevents exudate from the patient's perineum from flowing towards the upper and sides of the patient's abdomen, directing the exudate towards the collection bag 3.

[0046] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
