Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a protective cover suitable for an umbilical cord cutter. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the delivery room is using the Clamp Cut (CN98804728.4) umbilical cord cutter. Figure 4 During the process of cutting the umbilical cord, an adverse event occurred where a newborn was accidentally scratched by the cord cutter. The cord cutter consists of a cutting blade, a blade holder, a cord clamp, a movable clamp, and a padding. This product is used to cut the umbilical cord connecting the mother and baby after birth. Because the cutting blade of the cord cutter is exposed, made of a lightweight material, and is easily grasped by newborns, adverse events of scratching can occur. Newborns have delicate skin and low immunity; once the skin is broken, it is easily susceptible to external bacteria and pathogens, leading to secondary infections and potentially causing medical disputes.
[0003] Existing umbilical cord clip anti-scratch protective sleeve ( Figure 5 After practical use, it was found that ( Figure 6 (In the assembly state of the protective sleeve and the umbilical cord cutter Clamp Cutter, which is designed to prevent scratches) The protective sleeve cannot prevent blood splatter during use. The popped-out protective sleeve can easily bounce into the newborn's eyes or other parts of the body. Because the protective sleeve is lightweight and small, it can easily roll on the non-woven fabric, causing pressure marks on the newborn's delicate skin. In severe cases, it can cause pressure sores and skin abrasions. Utility Model Content

[0048] In an alternative embodiment, the width of the slit 13 is <1 mm. For example, <1 mm, <0.8 mm, <0.5 mm, <0.3 mm, <0.1 mm, etc.
[0049] In an alternative embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the right end of the slit 13 is rounded on both sides of the tube wall entrance, so as to facilitate the clamping of the umbilical cord. Figures 1-3
[0050] In an alternative embodiment, the material of the shield is a sterile transparent soft material, such as transparent soft silicone. The transparent material facilitates the observation of the umbilical cord cutting.
[0051] When using it, first clamp the umbilical cord 50 onto the first clamp 24 of the umbilical cord cutter 20. The first clamp 24 is on the side closer to the baby, and the first clamp 25 is still open at this time. Figure 2 As shown, place the protective cover over the blade section 23 of the umbilical cord cutter 20, then grip the handle 23 with your index and middle fingers, and push the push handle section 21 to the left with your thumb until... Figure 3 In the indicated state, the umbilical cord 50 has been cut, and the first clamp 24 has detached from the umbilical cord cutter 20 and remains inside the protective cover. The index and middle fingers still grip the holding arm 23 and pull to the right to pull the umbilical cord cutter 20 out of the protective cover. The first clamp 24, connected to the baby's side umbilical cord, remains inside the protective cover and can be gently removed. The protective cover of this invention is made of transparent, sterile, soft material, making the entire umbilical cord cutting process visible. Since the cutting process takes place in this semi-enclosed space, no blood will splatter. The first clamp 24, even after detaching from the umbilical cord cutter 20, remains inside the protective cover and does not fall out directly.
[0052] In summary, the protective cover for the umbilical cord cutter of this utility model is used by covering the blade section 22 of the umbilical cord cutter to prevent the infant from unconsciously grasping and getting injured, while ensuring that no blood splatters out during the cutting of the umbilical cord.
[0053] Therefore, this invention effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.
[0054] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
