Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically a protective cover for an intracranial pressure monitoring probe. Background Technology

[0002] An intracranial pressure monitoring probe is a medical device used to measure intracranial pressure. It can acquire intracranial pressure data in real time and accurately, providing crucial information for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Currently, the storage of intracranial pressure monitoring probes is usually done using sterile gloves and thread. During storage, the doctor wears an extra sterile glove on their left hand, holds the intracranial pressure monitoring probe connector in their right hand, and the circulating nurse holds the detector connector. After the doctor and circulating nurse connect the two connectors, they turn on the device and zero it. After zeroing, they turn off the device and separate the two connectors. The doctor holds the intracranial pressure monitoring probe connector with the glove on their left hand, turns the glove over to cover the intracranial pressure monitoring probe connector, and ties the opening of the glove tightly with thread, thus wrapping the connector inside their hand to complete the storage.

[0003] The above-mentioned glove storage method is not optimized for clinical use. Neurosurgical procedures have higher requirements for clinical infection control. In order to optimize the storage of intracranial pressure monitoring probe connectors after zeroing, and to better comply with aseptic principles and implement isolation techniques, this application was developed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical issues, this utility model provides a protective sleeve for an intracranial pressure monitoring probe. The double-layer inner and outer design effectively houses and isolates the contaminated intracranial pressure monitoring probe connector, preventing contamination of the probe and surgical area.

[0005] To achieve its technical objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A protective sleeve for an intracranial pressure monitoring probe includes an outer protective sleeve and an inner protective sleeve. The inner protective sleeve is shorter than the outer protective sleeve. The upper ends of the outer and inner protective sleeves are designed with the same opening and are provided with an upper opening. The lower ends are respectively provided with a first lower opening and a second lower opening. The outer periphery of the upper opening and the first lower opening are provided with a sealing and reinforcing strip for tightening the opening of the sleeve.

[0007] Preferably, the outer wall of the inner protective sleeve is provided with a semi-cut dotted line in the middle circumferential direction.

[0008] Preferably, the end of the sealing reinforcement strip is provided with double-sided adhesive with a protective sheet.

[0009] Preferably, the size of the first lower opening is equal to the size of the upper opening, and the size of the second lower opening is smaller than the size of the upper opening.

[0010] More preferably, the cross-section of the first lower opening is square, and the cross-section of the second lower opening is circular.

[0011] More preferably, both the first lower opening and the second lower opening can be folded upwards and returned to their original position downwards.

[0012] Preferably, both the outer protective sleeve and the inner protective sleeve are made of transparent material.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The double-layer protective sleeve design has a simple and clear structure, which prevents the probe connector from contaminating other sterile items or areas during storage. It can also prevent the probe connector from being physically damaged and affecting its monitoring accuracy. At the same time, it makes the operation more convenient and standardized for medical staff, reducing the risk of adverse events caused by improper operation. Attached Figure Description
