Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a medical ultrasound probe. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasound examination plays an extremely important role in modern medical diagnosis and is widely used in the detection and diagnosis of a variety of diseases.

[0003] Traditional ultrasound probes have a relatively simple grip design and lack ergonomic considerations. When holding the probe, it is generally held in a pen-like manner. This grip allows the operator to flexibly adjust the position of the probe, but prolonged holding can cause certain hand muscles to exert continuous force, leading to fatigue. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the lack of ergonomic design in the grip of traditional ultrasound probes, which can lead to hand fatigue from prolonged pen-like holding, this application provides a medical ultrasound probe.

[0005] The medical ultrasound probe provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A medical ultrasound probe includes a housing, the housing including a grip section with a bent shape, a probe head being disposed at the lower end of the grip section, and a removable coupling layer being sleeved on the outer side of the probe head, the coupling layer including a silicone sleeve sleeved on the probe head for replacing a coupling agent.

[0007] Preferably, the grip section adopts a disc-shaped or tadpole-shaped streamlined design with an extended end, and a button is provided on the side of the grip section.

[0008] Preferably, both sides of the gripping section are provided with grooves, and a plurality of positioning posts are provided in the grooves.

[0009] Preferably, the outer side of the silicone sleeve is provided with a plurality of connecting ropes, the ends of which are sleeved on the corresponding positioning posts, and the side of the silicone sleeve is also provided with vent holes.

[0010] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0011] The special shape design of the grip section improves the comfort and convenience of operation for medical staff. The positioning column and connecting rope enable easy installation and replacement of the silicone sleeve, and facilitate disassembly and disinfection. By using the silicone sleeve instead of traditional coupling agent, the tedious process of applying and cleaning coupling agent is avoided, reducing the risk of skin irritation and contamination to patients. Compared with existing technologies, it has the effects of simple operation, improved detection efficiency, and reduced patient discomfort. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0017] This application discloses a medical ultrasound probe. (See also...) Figure 1-3 A medical ultrasound probe includes a housing 1, which includes a bent grip section 101. The grip section 101 features a disc-shaped or tadpole-like streamlined design with an extended end. This unique shape conforms to ergonomic principles, making it easy for medical personnel to hold and effectively reducing hand fatigue during prolonged use. A probe head 102 is mounted at the lower end of the grip section 101, and a button 4 is mounted on the side of the grip section 101 for easy function switching or parameter adjustment during operation. In manufacturing this medical ultrasound probe, the housing 1 can be made of high-strength, medical-grade plastic or metal to ensure sufficient strength and durability. The probe head 102 is manufactured using high-precision ultrasonic transducer technology to ensure excellent ultrasonic signal transmission and reception performance.

[0018] Reference Figure 2 The grip section 101 has grooves on both sides, and several positioning pins 5 are installed in the grooves.

[0019] Reference Figure 3 A detachable coupling layer 2 is fitted on the outer side of the probe head 102. The coupling layer 2 includes a silicone sleeve 201 fitted on the probe head 102. Several connecting ropes 202 are installed on the outer side of the silicone sleeve 201. The end of the connecting rope 202 is provided with a sleeve ring or sleeve hole, which is fitted onto the corresponding positioning post 5. Through this connection method, it is ensured that the silicone sleeve 201 can be stably fitted on the probe head 102, and it also facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the silicone sleeve 201, realizes regular disinfection, and ensures the accuracy and hygiene of the detection.

[0020] Reference Figure 2 The silicone sleeve 201 is also equipped with an exhaust hole 3 on its side. The size and number of exhaust holes 3 should be reasonably designed according to the size and shape of the silicone sleeve 201 to ensure that air can be smoothly discharged during the sleeve installation process. When the silicone sleeve 201 is put on the probe head 102, the exhaust hole 3 can discharge the air inside the sleeve, so that the silicone sleeve 201 fits tightly with the probe head 102 and ensures the effective transmission of ultrasonic signals.

[0021] The implementation principle of a medical ultrasound probe in this application is as follows:

[0022] Before performing ultrasonic testing, first check the overall condition of the ultrasonic probe, ensuring that the button 4 on the grip section 101 functions properly and the positioning post 5 is undamaged. Then, put the silicone sleeve 201 onto the probe head 102. During the insertion process, the air inside the silicone sleeve 201 is gradually expelled through the vent 3, allowing the silicone sleeve 201 to fit tightly against the probe head 102. At the same time, attach the end of the connecting rope 202 to the positioning post 5 to complete the installation of the silicone sleeve 201.

[0023] Medical staff hold the grip section 101 with their palm facing down in a fist-like grip, positioned between the thumb and forefinger. When the thumb grips it, it touches button 4. Based on the patient's testing location and needs, button 4 is used to adjust relevant parameters of the ultrasound probe, such as frequency and gain. The probe head 102, with a silicone sleeve 201, is placed on the patient's skin. Because the silicone sleeve 201 replaces the coupling agent, ultrasound testing can be performed directly. During the test, the ultrasound signal is effectively transmitted to the patient's body through the probe head 102 and the silicone sleeve 201, and the reflected signal is received for imaging analysis.

[0024] After the test is completed, if the silicone sleeve 201 needs to be replaced, simply disconnect the connecting rope 202 from the positioning post 5, remove the silicone sleeve 201, and replace it with a new silicone sleeve 201. The entire process is simple and efficient, improving both the efficiency of ultrasound testing and the patient's medical experience and the hygiene and safety of the test.
