Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically a soft endoscope moisturizing sleeve. Background Technology

[0002] In hospitals, after staff perform examinations and treatments on patients using flexible endoscopes, a significant amount of contaminants remain on the endoscope's lumen and outer surface (especially the tip that contacts the patient). Therefore, timely bedside pretreatment, cleaning, and disinfection / sterilization of the endoscope are necessary. However, in practice, due to busy schedules and the fact that endoscope cleaning and disinfection require specialized personnel, flexible endoscopes often fail to receive timely treatment after use. This leads to the drying of contaminants on the endoscope's lumen and outer surface, greatly increasing the difficulty of subsequent cleaning and making it prone to biofilm formation, which can render endoscope disinfection and sterilization ineffective, resulting in adverse consequences for both patients and the hospital. Therefore, humidification is necessary during the temporary storage and transport of endoscopes.

[0003] Currently, medical institutions often lack effective moisturizing methods. Spraying moisturizers onto the surface of endoscopes fails to moisturize the most contaminated cavity. Immersing endoscopes in containers filled with moisturizing solution poses risks of splashing and environmental contamination during transport. Furthermore, this method requires large quantities of moisturizing solution, resulting in significant costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a soft endoscope moisturizing sleeve to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] A flexible endoscope moisturizing sleeve includes an outer sleeve, an inner bottom of which a moisturizing sac is fixedly installed. The top of the moisturizing sac has an opening, and a sealing ring matching the tip of the endoscope is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the opening. The top of the outer sleeve has several elastic bands, and the other end of each elastic band is fixedly fitted with a sealing plug. The size of the sealing plug is adapted to the size of the biopsy port and aspiration port of the endoscope.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this invention are: the moisturizing sac inside the outer casing ensures that the inside of the endoscope cavity and the outside of the tip remain moist during transport, preventing contaminants such as blood and body fluids from drying out and affecting subsequent cleaning work.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0009] Furthermore, an elastic band is fixedly installed on the top of the outer jacket, and an elastic cord is inserted inside the elastic band.

[0010] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that when the tip is inserted into the moisturizing bag, medical staff can tighten the elastic cord so that the elastic sleeve fits tightly against the endoscope, thereby fixing the outer sleeve to the endoscope and preventing it from falling off.

[0011] Furthermore, a protective pad is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer jacket.

[0012] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that when the cover is placed horizontally on the table, the protective pad can cushion the surface of the endoscope.

[0013] Furthermore, the side wall of the outer jacket is connected to an air extraction pipe.

[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: after the moisturizing liquid is injected and the outer cover is fixed, a portion of the air inside the outer cover is extracted through the air extraction pipe, so that the outer cover can fit the surface of the endoscope, thereby reducing the infiltration of external air and liquid, enhancing the overall sealing performance, and helping to protect the part of the endoscope located inside the outer cover from contamination and damage.

[0021] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a soft endoscope moisturizing sleeve includes an outer sleeve 1, a moisturizing sac 2 fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner sleeve 1, an opening at the top of the moisturizing sac 2, and a sealing ring 3 matching the tip 51 of the endoscope 5 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the opening; a plurality of elastic bands 4 are on the top of the outer sleeve 1, and a sealing plug 41 is fixedly installed at the other end of the elastic bands 4, the size of the sealing plug 41 being adapted to the size of the biopsy port 52 and the aspiration port 53 of the endoscope 5.

[0024] Insert the tip 51 of the endoscope 5 into the moisturizing sac 2 through the sealing ring 3 at the top of the moisturizing sac 2. Then, use a syringe to inject moisturizing fluid through the aspiration port 53 until the moisturizing fluid fills the endoscope 5 and the moisturizing sac 2. Then, use the sealing plug 41 on the outer cover 1 to block the biopsy port 52 and the aspiration port 53 to prevent the moisturizing fluid from flowing out of the biopsy port 52 and the aspiration port 53 when the outer cover 1 is placed horizontally on the table. Through the moisturizing sac 2 inside the outer cover 1, it can be ensured that the inside of the endoscope cavity and the outside of the tip 51 of the endoscope 5 can remain moist during the transportation process, avoiding the drying of contaminants such as blood and body fluids, which would affect the subsequent cleaning work.

[0025] Both the outer casing 1 and the moisturizing sac 2 are made of thermoplastic polyurethane. This gives the outer casing 1 and the moisturizing sac 2 a certain degree of transparency, making it easier for medical personnel to observe the wettability of the tip 51.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement on embodiment 1, as detailed below:

[0028] An elastic sleeve 6 is fixedly installed at the top of the outer cover 1, and an elastic cord 61 is inserted inside the elastic sleeve 6. When the tip 51 is inserted into the moisturizing bag 2, the medical staff can tighten the elastic cord 61 so that the elastic sleeve 6 fits tightly against the endoscope 5, thereby fixing the outer cover 1 to the endoscope 5 and preventing it from falling off.

[0029] Example 3

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement on embodiment 1, as detailed below:

[0031] A protective pad 7 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer casing 1. When the outer casing 1 is placed horizontally on the table, the protective pad 7 can cushion the surface of the endoscope 5. The protective pad 7 is made of rubber.

[0032] Example 4

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement on embodiment 1, as detailed below:

[0034] The side wall of the outer casing 1 is connected to an air extraction pipe 8. After the moisturizing liquid is injected and the outer casing 1 is fixed, a portion of the air inside the outer casing 1 is extracted through the air extraction pipe 8, allowing the outer casing 1 to fit snugly against the surface of the endoscope 5. This reduces the infiltration of external air and liquid, enhances the overall sealing, and helps protect the portion of the endoscope 5 located inside the outer casing 1 from contamination and damage.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
