Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically a multi-layer surgical drape with a water-absorbing structure. Background Technology

[0002] Surgical drapes, also known as surgical towels or sterile drapes, are medical supplies used during surgical procedures. Their main purpose is to create a sterile area, prevent bacterial infection of the surgical site, and provide a clean work surface for the surgical team.

[0003] During medical procedures, whether routine or emergency, the outflow of blood, bodily fluids, and medications is unavoidable. The presence of these fluids not only increases the chaos of the surgical environment but, more importantly, constitutes a source of infection, threatening the patient's postoperative recovery. Therefore, surgical draping, as an indispensable auxiliary tool in the operating room, plays multiple roles, the most crucial of which is fluid absorption and management.

[0004] Currently, non-woven fabric is generally used to make disposable simple drapes, which reduces costs and improves moisture absorption. However, in the case of major or long-term surgery, a large amount of blood and body fluids may leak out, and the existing simple drapes often have insufficient moisture absorption, which may affect the hygiene of the surgical environment and the ease of operation for medical staff.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a multi-layered surgical drape with a water-absorbing structure. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background art is solved.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: The multi-layered surgical drape with a water-absorbing structure of this utility model includes a waterproof bottom layer, a radiation-proof layer fixed to the top of the waterproof bottom layer, an antibacterial layer fixed to the top of the radiation-proof layer, a film-coated non-woven fabric fixed to the top of the antibacterial layer, a thickened non-woven fabric bonded to the top of the film-coated non-woven fabric, and a drape edging fixed to the side wall of the thickened non-woven fabric. The drape edging is made of waterproof material, and four protective sleeves are fixed to the ends of the thickened non-woven fabric. The four protective sleeves are symmetrically arranged, which can effectively absorb the liquid generated during the operation. The multi-layered structure significantly improves the water absorption performance of the drape, can quickly absorb the blood and body fluids generated during the operation, helps to keep the surgical area dry, and thus reduces the risk of slippage and contamination.

[0008] Preferably, the protective sleeve has a first fixing block fixed to its side wall, a first fixing strap fixed to its side wall, and a hook-and-loop fastener fixed to its side wall. The hook-and-loop fastener is located at the end away from the first fixing block. The protective sleeve also has a second fixing block fixed to its side wall, a second fixing strap fixed to its side wall, and a hook-and-loop fastener fixed to its side wall. This design secures the drape, keeping it in place throughout the surgical procedure and reducing the risk of damage to the sterile barrier due to drape movement.

[0009] Preferably, the antibacterial layer includes a first nonwoven fabric and an antibacterial pad. The bottom of the film-coated nonwoven fabric is bonded with an antibacterial pad, and the bottom of the antibacterial pad is bonded with the first nonwoven fabric. This can effectively inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria, reduce the possibility of infection caused by bacterial contamination during surgery, and also help maintain the cleanliness of the surgical area, thereby improving the overall safety of the surgery.

[0010] Preferably, the radiation shielding layer includes a second non-woven fabric and a radiation shielding pad. The top of the waterproof bottom layer is bonded with the second non-woven fabric, and the top of the second non-woven fabric is fixed with the radiation shielding pad. This can effectively absorb or attenuate the radiation, reduce its impact on the human body, and effectively reduce the radiation level in the surgical area, thereby protecting the patient from excessive radiation damage.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the waterproof base layer is bonded with an anti-slip strip made of rubber, which can increase the friction between the drape and the operating table, reduce the slippage of the drape during the operation, and better maintain the sterility of the surgical area.

[0012] Preferably, a storage bag is fixed to the side wall of the sheet edging. The storage bag is made of waterproof material, which helps to keep the environment clean and reduce environmental pollution.

[0013] Preferably, the side wall of the drape is fixed with two carrying ropes, which are symmetrically arranged to reduce the direct contact of medical staff with the drape, thereby reducing the risk of cross-infection.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. The multi-layered surgical drape with absorbent structure described in this utility model forms a multi-layered structure by setting thickened non-woven fabric, film-coated non-woven fabric, antibacterial layer and radiation protection layer.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, a multi-layered surgical drape with a water-absorbing structure according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a waterproof bottom layer 1, a radiation-proof layer 11 fixedly attached to the top of the waterproof bottom layer 1, an antibacterial layer 12 fixedly attached to the top of the radiation-proof layer 11, a film-coated non-woven fabric 13 fixedly attached to the top of the antibacterial layer 12, a thickened non-woven fabric 14 bonded to the top of the film-coated non-woven fabric 13, and a drape edge banding 15 fixedly attached to the side wall of the thickened non-woven fabric 14. The drape edge banding 15 is made of waterproof material. Four protective sleeves 16 are fixedly attached to the ends of the thickened non-woven fabric 14. The four protective sleeves 16 are symmetrically arranged. During operation, when surgery is required, the drape is laid on the operating table. During the surgery, liquids such as water and blood may be generated. The liquids flow onto the drape, and the top of the drape... The thickened nonwoven fabric 14 absorbs fluids, which then permeate downwards. The film-coated nonwoven fabric 13 has excellent breathability and water absorption, which can enhance the absorption of liquids. The antibacterial layer 12 and the radiation-proof layer 11 also have water absorption properties, which can further absorb liquids. Through the above structure, the liquids generated during the operation can be effectively absorbed. The multi-layered structure significantly improves the water absorption performance of the drape, which can quickly absorb blood and body fluids generated during the operation, helping to keep the surgical area dry, thereby reducing the risk of slippage and contamination. The waterproof bottom layer 1 and the side drape edging 15 have waterproof properties, which can effectively reduce the penetration of liquids outside the surgical area, keep the surgical area dry, and help to ensure a clear surgical field.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a first fixing block 2 is fixed to the side wall of the protective sleeve 16. A first fixing strap 22 is fixed to the side wall of the first fixing block 2. A hook and loop fastener 23 is fixed to the side wall of the first fixing strap 22. The hook and loop fastener 23 is located at the end away from the first fixing block 2. A second fixing block 21 is fixed to the side wall of the protective sleeve 16. A second fixing strap 24 is fixed to the side wall of the second fixing block 21. A hook and loop fastener 25 is fixed to the side wall of the second fixing strap 24. During operation, the sheet is laid on the operating table, and the first fixing strap 22 and the second fixing strap 25 at the four corners of the sheet are fastened together. The fixing strap 24 is pulled to the legs of the operating table and wrapped around them. After wrapping the legs, the hook and loop side 23 is attached to the hook and loop side 25. This structure can fix the drape in place, keeping it in place throughout the operation. This reduces the risk of the sterile barrier being compromised due to drape movement, effectively reducing the invasion of microorganisms and the possibility of surgical infection. The fixed drape also reduces the number of times it needs to be readjusted or replaced during the operation, saving surgical time and improving overall surgical efficiency.

[0028] like Figure 3As shown, the antibacterial layer 12 includes a first nonwoven fabric 3 and an antibacterial pad 31. The bottom of the film-coated nonwoven fabric 13 is bonded with the antibacterial pad 31, and the bottom of the antibacterial pad 31 is bonded with the first nonwoven fabric 3. During operation, the liquid generated during the surgical procedure flows into the antibacterial pad 31. The antibacterial pad 31 is made of a specially treated nonwoven fabric that can resist the growth and spread of bacteria. Through the above structure, the growth and reproduction of bacteria can be effectively inhibited, reducing the possibility of infection caused by bacterial contamination during the surgical procedure. It can also help maintain the cleanliness of the surgical area, thereby improving the overall safety of the surgery.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the radiation shielding layer 11 includes a second non-woven fabric 4 and a radiation shielding pad 41. The top of the waterproof bottom layer 1 is bonded with the second non-woven fabric 4, and the top of the second non-woven fabric 4 is fixed with the radiation shielding pad 41. During operation, some equipment used in surgery emits a certain amount of ionizing radiation, which can be harmful to the human body. The drape contains a radiation shielding pad 41, which is made of a material with a high atomic number. It can effectively absorb and block radiation and reduce its penetrating power. Through the above structure, it can effectively absorb or attenuate this radiation, reduce its impact on the human body, and effectively reduce the radiation level in the surgical area, thereby protecting the patient from excessive radiation damage.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the waterproof base layer 1 is bonded with an anti-slip strip 5, which is made of rubber. During the operation, the patient may need to change the position of their body. Setting the anti-slip strip 5 at the bottom of the drape can increase the friction between the drape and the operating table, reduce the slippage of the drape during the operation, and better maintain the sterility of the surgical area.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a storage bag 6 is fixed to the side wall of the sheet edging 15. The storage bag 6 is made of waterproof material. When the sheet is being transported, it can be folded and placed inside the storage bag 6 for easy transportation. After the sheet is used, it can also be placed inside the storage bag 6 to help maintain a clean environment and reduce environmental pollution.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, two carrying ropes 7 are fixed to the side wall of the drape edging 15. The two carrying ropes 7 are symmetrically arranged. During operation, after the operation is completed, the drape needs to be processed. The drape can be removed from the operating table by holding the carrying ropes 7 at both ends. This method is simple and convenient, reduces the situation where medical staff directly touch the drape, thereby reducing the risk of cross-infection.

[0033] During surgery, a drape is laid on the operating table. Liquids such as water and blood may be generated during the procedure. These liquids flow onto the drape and are absorbed by the thickened non-woven fabric 14 at the top, gradually penetrating downwards. The laminated non-woven fabric 13 has excellent breathability and absorbency, further enhancing liquid absorption. The antibacterial layer 12 and the radiation-proof layer 11 also have absorbency, further absorbing the liquids. This multi-layered structure effectively absorbs liquids generated during surgery, significantly improving the drape's absorbency and quickly absorbing blood and bodily fluids, helping to keep the surgical area dry and reducing the risk of slippage and contamination. The waterproof bottom layer 1 and the side edging 15 of the drape provide waterproofing. The water-resistant properties effectively reduce fluid seepage outside the surgical area, keeping the surgical area dry and contributing to a clear surgical field. The drape is laid on the operating table, and the first and second fixing straps 22 and 24 at the four corners of the drape are pulled to the legs of the operating table to wrap them. After wrapping the legs, the hook and loop fasteners 23 are attached to the hook and loop fasteners 25. This structure secures the drape, keeping it in place throughout the surgery and reducing the risk of disruption of the sterile barrier due to drape movement. This effectively reduces microbial invasion and the possibility of surgical infection. A fixed drape also reduces the number of times it needs to be readjusted or replaced during surgery, saving surgical time and improving overall surgical efficiency. The surgical procedure generates fluid that flows into the antibacterial pad 31. The antibacterial pad 31 is made of specially treated non-woven fabric that resists bacterial growth and spread. This structure effectively inhibits bacterial growth and reproduction, reducing the risk of infection due to bacterial contamination during surgery. It also helps maintain the cleanliness of the surgical area, thereby improving the overall safety of the procedure. During surgery, some equipment emits a certain amount of ionizing radiation, which can be harmful to the human body. The drape contains an anti-radiation pad 41, made of a material with a high atomic number, which effectively absorbs and blocks radiation, reducing its penetrating power. This structure effectively absorbs or attenuates this radiation, reducing its impact on the human body. To effectively reduce radiation levels in the surgical area and protect patients from excessive radiation, anti-slip strips 5 are installed at the bottom of the drape to increase friction between the drape and the operating table, reducing slippage and better maintaining sterility in the surgical area. When transporting the drape, it can be folded and placed inside the storage bag 6 for easy transport. After use, the drape can also be stored inside the storage bag 6 to maintain cleanliness and reduce environmental contamination. After surgery, the drape can be easily removed from the operating table by holding it by the handles 7 at both ends.This reduces the likelihood of healthcare workers directly touching bed sheets, thereby decreasing the risk of cross-infection.
