Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a device for the safe transport of embryo transfer tubes. Background Technology

[0002] During embryo transfer, the embryologist uses a syringe to aspirate the embryo into an embryo transfer tube. The syringe, still connected to the tube, is then passed to a nurse. The nurse places the tube in a cannula and holds it to the patient for identity verification. The clinician then performs the embryo transfer under ultrasound guidance. Embryo transfer, short for in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer, is a crucial and delicate procedure in reproductive medicine. Embryos are cultured in a low-oxygen environment of 6% CO2 and 5% O2, or in a tri-gas incubator. However, the operating room environment is typically 25°C with 20% humidity. The high CO2 and O2 content and poor air quality compared to an embryo laboratory, coupled with the air conditioning, create a significant draft. To maintain a sterile environment, a strong draft is also required. Therefore, the safe and stable transport of the embryo transfer tube and the environment in which the embryo is located are critical to the success rate of embryo transfer. However, existing transport methods have many shortcomings.

[0003] 1. Existing transport methods lack specialized fixing devices, which makes the embryo transfer tubes prone to shaking, collision, or squeezing during transport, causing the embryo to slip out of the transfer tube, increasing the risk of embryo damage. In addition, the operation is not convenient enough, affecting medical efficiency, etc.

[0004] 2. When an embryo is removed from the low-oxygen environment of the incubator and placed in the operating room, the temperature and humidity of the environment change drastically. This drastic environmental change will directly affect the embryo's developmental ability and is an important factor affecting the embryo's developmental potential.

[0005] 3. During the process of the nurse placing the transfer tube into the cannula and holding it in front of the patient for identity verification, the embryo may slip out due to hand movement. Furthermore, the difference between room temperature and embryo storage conditions can affect the embryo's developmental potential. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a convenient transport device that can simultaneously provide a warming environment for two embryo transfer tubes and improve transport stability, effectively solving the problem of embryo loss caused by shaking of the embryo transfer tubes.

[0007] The technical solution to the above problems is: a device for the safe transport of embryo transfer tubes. This embryo transport device includes a constant temperature chamber, inside which a support body is installed. The support body is slidably installed inside the constant temperature chamber and detachably connected to it. The support body is rectangular in shape and has internal grooves for placing and fixing the embryo transfer tubes. Several fixing devices are fixedly installed on the upper end of the support body. Each fixing device includes an elastic clip base and elastic clips. The elastic clip base is fixedly installed above the support body, with one end of the elastic clip base higher than the other end. The elastic clips are fixedly installed at both ends of the elastic clip base.

[0008] The main body of the bracket is provided with a foldable handheld part, which includes: a rotatable and foldable bracket, a hand rest, and a handle; the upper end of the bracket is fixedly connected to the main body of the bracket, the hand rest is slidably installed at the lower end of the bracket, and the handle is fixedly installed at the upper end of the bracket. The main body of the bracket is placed in a constant temperature chamber, and a constant temperature controller, a small air purifier, and a horizontal bracket are provided on both sides inside the constant temperature chamber.

[0009] Furthermore, the elastic clip has a curved surface structure with a maximum opening distance of 25-30mm.

[0010] Furthermore, buffer pads are fixedly installed at both ends of the elastic clip base, and the elastic clips are fixedly installed on the buffer pads.

[0011] Furthermore, the constant temperature chamber has handles on both sides, and the surface of the handles is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0012] Furthermore, horizontal brackets are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the constant temperature chamber. The horizontal brackets are divided into upper and lower layers for placing two support bodies. A sliding groove is installed on the horizontal bracket, and a slider is installed in the sliding groove and fixedly connected to the support body. The slider can slide out of the sliding groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the constant temperature chamber is provided with an observation window at the top.

[0014] Furthermore, the front end of the constant temperature chamber is provided with a protective cover, one end of which is rotatably connected to the chamber body via a hinge, and the other end is magnetically connected to the constant temperature chamber via a magnetic attraction device.

[0015] Furthermore, the bracket has a two-section structure connected by a hinge in the middle. A sliding bolt is threaded onto the lower end of the bracket, and a sliding keyway is provided on the hand rest. The sliding bolt passes through the sliding keyway and is threaded onto the bracket. The distance between the hand rest and the main body of the bracket can be adjusted by sliding the sliding bolt up and down along the sliding keyway.

[0016] Furthermore, the hand rest is a slightly curved plate made of silicone.

[0017] Furthermore, the bottom of the constant temperature chamber is equipped with a charging module and a battery. The battery is connected to the constant temperature controller and a small air purifier, and the charging module is connected to an external power source.

[0018] By employing the above-mentioned technical means, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. By designing an embryo transfer device, this utility model sets up a support body inside a constant temperature chamber and sets up several fixing devices on the support body. The elastic clips at both ends of the fixing devices can clamp and fix the embryo transfer tube, preventing the embryo transfer tube from shaking during the transfer process and causing the embryo to slip out of the transfer tube. In addition, one end of the elastic clip base of the fixing device is higher than the other end, so that the opening of the fixed embryo transfer tube is tilted upward, effectively preventing the embryo from slipping out of the transfer tube. The handheld part is designed with a triangular support structure. During the movement, medical staff can hold the handle and place their elbows on the hand rest to form a stable triangular support, which can smoothly transfer the embryo transfer tube to the patient for surgery, effectively preventing the embryo transfer tube from shaking during the transfer process. This effectively solves the problems of low transfer efficiency and inconvenient transfer operation.

[0020] 2. During the transfer process, the temperature is regulated by the thermostat in the constant temperature chamber to ensure the conditions for storing the embryos. The thermostat can maintain the temperature at 37±0.2 degrees Celsius. It also has a small air purifier to purify the air in the constant temperature chamber and prevent suspended particulate matter, volatile organic compounds and volatile organic compounds in the air from affecting the quality of the embryos.

[0021] 3. This invention effectively secures the embryo transfer tube, preventing it from shaking or colliding during transport and reducing the risk of embryo damage. The design of the cushioning pad and protective cap further enhances the protection of the embryo transfer tube. The non-slip texture and reasonable design of the handle make operation more convenient and stable, improving medical efficiency. Through the transparent window on the box, nurses can easily move the transfer tube to the patient by hand. The patient can observe and confirm the transfer tube through the transparent window without the nurse needing to remove it, avoiding hand shaking during removal that could cause the embryo to slip out, and ensuring a safe storage environment for the embryo, preventing any impact on its developmental potential.

[0028] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a device for the safe transport of embryo transfer tubes includes a thermostat 2, which is a hollow rectangular box. A support body 1 is disposed inside the thermostat 2 and is slidably installed within and detachably connected to the thermostat 2. The support body 1 is cuboid in shape and has grooves for placing and fixing the embryo transfer tube. Several fixing devices are fixedly installed on the upper end of the support body 1. The fixing devices include elastic clip bases 12 and elastic clips 11. The elastic clip base 12 is fixedly installed above the support body 1, with one end of the elastic clip base 12 higher than the other end. The elastic clips 11 are fixedly installed at both ends of the elastic clip base.

[0031] In this embodiment, the elastic clip 11 has a curved structure, which increases the contact area with the embryo transfer tube and can better fit and fix the embryo transfer tube. The maximum opening distance of the elastic clip 11 is 25-30mm. Buffer pads 13 are fixedly installed at both ends of the elastic clip base 12. The elastic clip 11 is fixedly installed on the buffer pads 13. The buffer pads 13 can reduce the pressure of the elastic clip 11 on the embryo transfer tube and also play a shock absorption role.

[0032] In this embodiment, a foldable handheld part 2 is provided below the main body 1 of the support, which can be stored in the constant temperature box 2. The handheld part 2 includes: a rotatable and foldable support 141, a hand support 143, and a handle 145. The upper end of the support is fixedly connected to the main body 1 of the support, the hand support 143 is slidably installed at the lower end of the support, and the handle 143 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the support. The main body of the support is placed in the constant temperature box 2. The inside of the constant temperature box 2 has a constant temperature controller 23, a small air purifier 25, and a horizontal bracket 24 on both sides. Horizontal brackets 24 are fixedly provided on both sides of the inner wall of the constant temperature box 2. The horizontal brackets 24 are divided into upper and lower layers for placing two main bodies 1 of the support. A sliding groove is installed on the horizontal bracket 24, and a slider is installed in the sliding groove 241 and fixedly connected to the main body of the support. The slider can slide out of the sliding groove.

[0033] In this embodiment, the bracket 141 has a two-section structure connected by a hinge 142. A sliding bolt 146 is threaded onto the lower end of the bracket, and a sliding keyway 144 is provided on the hand rest. The sliding bolt 146 passes through the sliding keyway 144 and is threaded onto the bracket. The distance between the hand rest 143 and the bracket body can be adjusted by sliding the sliding bolt up and down along the sliding keyway 144, which can accommodate different medical staff.

[0034] In this embodiment, a support body 1 is set inside the constant temperature box 2, and several fixing devices are set on the support body 1. The embryo transfer tube can be clamped and fixed by the elastic clips 11 at both ends of the fixing devices, so as to prevent the embryo transfer tube from shaking during the transfer process and causing the embryo to slip out of the transfer tube. Moreover, one end of the elastic clip base 12 of the fixing device is higher than the other end, so that the opening of the fixed embryo transfer tube is tilted upward, effectively preventing the embryo from slipping out of the transfer tube. This effectively solves the problems of low transfer efficiency and inconvenient transfer operation.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] like Figure 1-3 According to Embodiment 1, the constant temperature box 2 has handles 3 on both sides. The surface of the handles 3 is provided with anti-slip texture to facilitate the grip and operation of medical staff. The opening of the constant temperature box is closed by a protective cover 21.
