[0021] This specific embodiment is a sterile amniotic fluid retrieval device, the structural diagram of which is shown below. Figures 1-5As shown, the amniotic fluid collection device includes a catheter 1, a first connector 6 installed at the left end of the catheter 1, a second connector 5 slidably installed on the outside of the first connector 6, and a sterile rubber cylinder 4 installed at the left end of the second connector 5. A water channel 10 is opened inside the catheter 1. A water suction connector 8 is installed on the outer surface of the left end of the catheter 1 and is connected to the water channel 10. An isolation membrane 14 is installed inside the right end of the catheter 1. An I-shaped sealing tube 12 is installed inside the catheter 1, and an elastic ring 13 is installed on the outer surface of the middle part of the I-shaped sealing tube 12. A guide wire 9 is provided inside the catheter 1, and the left end of the guide wire 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sterile rubber cylinder 4. A sampling swab brush head 11 is installed at the right end of the guide wire 9. The end of the water suction connector 8 away from the catheter 1 is threaded.

[0022] The catheter 1 has a plug 2 installed at its right end, with the end of the plug 2 furthest from the catheter 1 being arc-shaped. The plug 2 reduces the resistance to insertion of the catheter 1 into the pregnant woman's body, making insertion easier. The sterile rubber cylinder 4 has a handle 3 installed at its left end, with anti-slip textured surfaces. The handle 3 allows the user to easily grip the left end of the guidewire 9, preventing slippage. The flushing connector 8 has anti-slip strips 7 made of silicone on its outer surface. These strips increase friction between the user's hand and the flushing connector 8, improving stability when gripping it.

[0023] Furthermore, the guidewire 9 is made of nickel-titanium shape memory alloy. The nickel-titanium shape memory alloy guidewire 9 provides reliable torsion control and pushability, facilitating its use.

[0024] Working principle: When using the amniotic fluid retrieval device of this technical solution, the threaded syringe is screwed onto the suction connector 8 for fixation. The right end of the catheter 1 is inserted from the pregnant woman's vagina between the fetal head and the internal cervical os. Then, the threaded syringe is used to draw amniotic fluid. If the amniotic fluid is successfully drawn, it indicates that the catheter 1 is inserted in the correct position. The amniotic fluid enters the interior of the catheter 1 and flows into the water channel 10 on the surface of the isolation membrane 14. The flow of amniotic fluid has a flushing effect on the head of the catheter 1, avoiding contamination for subsequent sampling. Then, the left end of the guide wire 9 is grasped and the sampling swab brush head 11 is pushed towards the head of the catheter 1. The sampling swab brush head 11 passes through the H-shaped sealing tube 12 and breaks through the isolation membrane 14 to exit the catheter 1. The elastic ring 13 is in an open state, allowing the sampling swab brush head 11 to absorb amniotic fluid for sampling. Then, the guide wire 9 is pulled to retract the sampling swab brush head 11. The sampling swab brush head 11 passes through the H-shaped sealing tube 12 and enters the catheter 1 below the H-shaped sealing tube 12. Under the elastic force of the elastic ring 13, the H-shaped sealing tube 12 is closed and sealed. The sterile rubber tube 4, the second connector 5, and the first connector 6 are used to seal the left end of the catheter 1, ensuring that the sampling swab brush head 11 is in a sealed and sterile state. The catheter 1 and the sampling swab brush head 11 are completely removed and sent for testing. This process avoids contamination during sampling and contamination when the swab enters or is removed, ensuring sterile sampling.

[0025] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0026] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
