Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of skin surface fungal sampling and detection technology, specifically relating to a disposable fungal sampling kit. Background Technology
[0002] When diagnosing patients with symptoms such as tinea corporis, tinea pedis, and onychomycosis, doctors typically perform fungal sampling and testing. This begins with collecting fungal samples from the affected skin area. Current methods for superficial skin fungal sampling and testing mostly involve using a scalpel to scrape a small amount of debris from the skin onto a glass slide, applying a chemical reagent to the slide, covering it with a coverslip, and then conducting the test. This sampling method is cumbersome and has low sampling efficiency.
[0003] Therefore, a fungal sampling membrane kit was designed to quickly sample the skin surface, thus solving the aforementioned technical problems. However, the sampling membrane in the fungal sampling membrane kit is relatively thin and soft. When the dustproof film is removed for collecting superficial fungi from the skin, it is prone to deformation. For example, after removing the backing paper, it easily sticks to the hand, resulting in poor practical effect. When pasting it onto a glass slide, it is prone to wrinkling and bubbling, which is not conducive to microscopic examination. In addition, a handheld thin sheet needs to be fixed to one end of the sampling membrane, which not only increases the material cost but also complicates the manufacturing process. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing a disposable fungal sampling kit that can quickly sample the skin surface.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a disposable fungal sampling kit, including a sampling membrane and a glass slide, wherein the bottom surface of the sampling membrane is provided with an adhesive layer, characterized in that: it also includes a sampling membrane reinforcement layer, an adhesive layer, and a disposable sampling packaging bag; the sampling membrane reinforcement layer has the same shape as the sampling membrane, is a hollow structure, and its bottom surface is bonded and fixedly connected to the sampling membrane; the adhesive layer covers the adhesive layer; the sampling membrane reinforcement layer, the sampling membrane, and the adhesive layer constitute an integrated sampling sheet, which is placed together with the glass slide into a disposable sampling packaging bag.
[0006] In the technical solution of this utility model, the sampling membrane is composed of a sampling membrane body and a sampling membrane handheld end; the sampling membrane reinforcement layer is composed of a reinforcement layer body and a reinforcement layer handheld end; and the adhesive layer is at least consistent with the shape of the sampling membrane body or the adhesive coating layer.
[0007] In the technical solution of this utility model, the sampling membrane body, the reinforcing layer body, and the adhesive layer are all rectangular in shape; the sampling membrane handheld end and the reinforcing layer handheld end are both rectangular and are respectively disposed on one side of the sampling membrane body and the reinforcing layer body; the reinforcing layer body has a rectangular hollow structure.
[0008] The glass slide in the technical solution of this utility model includes a rectangular glass slide body; one end or opposite ends of the glass slide body is fitted with a rubber sleeve.
[0009] The rubber sleeve in the technical solution of this utility model has anti-slip texture on its outer side.
[0010] In the technical solution of this utility model, a reagent isolation zone marking line is provided in the center of the glass slide body.
[0011] The technical solution of this utility model also includes a scraper; the scraper is placed in a disposable sampling packaging bag.
[0012] The scraper described in the technical solution of this utility model has a double-sided frosted design, with large-particle coarse sand surface and small-particle fine sand surface on the two sides, which is suitable for polishing and sampling nails or hard parts.
[0013] In the technical solution of this utility model, the sampling membrane is made of a highly transparent material; the adhesive coating is a highly transparent adhesive layer; and the adhesive protection layer is a base paper.
[0014] The technical solution of this utility model also includes cotton swabs; the cotton swabs are placed in disposable sampling packaging bags; the adhesive layer is a backing paper.
[0015] This invention utilizes a disposable fungal sampling kit comprised of a sampling membrane, a glass slide, a sampling membrane reinforcement layer, an adhesive layer, and a disposable sampling packaging bag. The sampling membrane has an adhesive coating on its bottom surface. The sampling membrane reinforcement layer is hollow and identical in shape to the sampling membrane, with its top surface adhered and fixedly connected to the sampling membrane. The adhesive layer covers the adhesive coating layer. The sampling membrane, reinforcement layer, and adhesive layer form an integrated sampling sheet, which, along with the glass slide, is packaged in the disposable sampling packaging bag. Therefore, when collecting superficial skin fungi, the disposable sampling packaging bag can be torn open first, the sampling sheet and glass slide removed, and then the sampling sheet held and the covering adhesive layer peeled off for collection. After collection, the adhesive layer can be adhered to the top surface of the glass slide for testing. Because the sampling membrane reinforcement layer is fixedly connected to the top surface of the sampling membrane, it overcomes the softness of a simple sampling membrane and prevents deformation, making it easy to operate and attach to the glass slide during sampling, resulting in good practical effects.
[0016] This invention features a non-soft sampling membrane that is easy to use for sampling and can be attached to a glass slide. It is mainly used for rapid fungal sampling on the skin surface. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, one embodiment of the disposable fungal sampling kit of this utility model consists of a sampling membrane 2, a glass slide 4, a sampling membrane reinforcement layer 1, an adhesive layer 3, a scraper, and a disposable sampling packaging bag. The sampling membrane reinforcement layer 1, the sampling membrane 2, and the adhesive layer 3 form an integrated sampling sheet, which is packaged together with the glass slide 4 and the scraper into a disposable sampling packaging bag. Each person is provided with one set, making it convenient to use.
[0022] The sampling membrane 2 consists of a sampling membrane body 2-1 and a sampling membrane handle 2-2. The sampling membrane body 2-1 is rectangular in shape, and the sampling membrane handle 2-2 is also rectangular and located on one side of the sampling membrane body 2-1. The bottom surface of the sampling membrane 2 has a rectangular adhesive layer. This adhesive layer is an viscous substance and is used to collect fungal samples (the sampling thickness should be appropriate) by repeatedly applying it to fungal-infected skin. The sampled membrane is then flattened onto a glass slide 4 containing fungal staining solution for easy microscopic examination by laboratory personnel. The sampling membrane 2 is made of highly transparent material, and the adhesive layer is also highly transparent. Considering processing, practicality, and cost savings, the sampling membrane handle 2-2 and the sampling membrane body 2-1 are designed as a single unit.
[0023] The sampling membrane reinforcement layer 1 consists of a reinforcement layer body 1-1 and a reinforcement layer handle end 1-2, with an arrow symbol on the handle end 1-2. The reinforcement layer body 1-1 and the reinforcement layer handle end 1-2 are both rectangular and located on one side of the reinforcement layer body 1-1. The reinforcement layer body 1-1 has a rectangular hollow structure. The sampling membrane reinforcement layer 1 has the same shape as the sampling membrane 2, and its bottom surface is bonded and fixed to the sampling membrane 2, forming a single unit. This reinforcement layer reinforces the four sides of the sampling membrane body 2-1 and the sampling membrane handle end 2-2. Because the sampling membrane 2 is intended for microscopic examination, it requires high transparency and is very thin, like transparent tape, making it prone to deformation. For example, after removing the backing paper, it easily sticks to the hand, resulting in poor practicality. Furthermore, when attached to the slide 4, it easily wrinkles and bubbles, hindering microscopic examination. Reinforcement facilitates sampling, attachment to the slide, and ensures a large area for microscopic examination in the center.
[0024] The adhesive layer 3 is rectangular in shape, similar in shape to the sampling membrane body 2-1 and the reinforcing layer body 1-1, or slightly larger than the adhesive layer, or similar in shape to the adhesive layer but with protrusions extending beyond it, facilitating the removal of the adhesive layer 3 from the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer 3 is a backing paper that covers the adhesive layer. The backing paper is separate from the reinforcing layer handle 1-2 and the sampling membrane handle 2-2, making it easy to remove.
[0025] The slide 4 comprises a rectangular slide body 4-1, with rubber sleeves 4-3 fitted at opposite ends of the slide body 4-1. The rubber sleeves 4-3 prevent scratches when handling the slide 1. The outer side of the rubber sleeves 4-3 has anti-slip textures, which can be horizontal, vertical, or grid-like, all providing an anti-slip effect. A reagent isolation zone marking line 4-2 is located in the center of the slide body 4-1. This marking line 4-2 is slightly larger than the area of the adhesive coating and serves as a reference line when adding the staining solution. The slide 4 is made of highly transparent material.
[0026] The scraper is a disposable scraper made of hard material with a double-sided frosted design. One side has large coarse abrasive particles, and the other side has small fine abrasive particles. It is suitable for buffing and sampling nails or hard areas, and will not damage the skin with gentle friction. Single use will prevent cross-contamination.
[0027] The disposable sampling bag can also contain cotton swabs. The cotton swabs can be smoothed out when the sampling membrane 2 is attached to the glass slide 4 after sampling. If there are air bubbles, they can be squeezed out. If there is too much staining solution, the excess staining solution can be absorbed.
[0028] When performing fungal sampling, first drop the staining solution into the area marked 4-2 of the reagent isolation zone on slide 4, peel off the backing paper, and scrape the side of the sampling membrane 3 with the adhesive layer onto the skin surface of the patient's affected area (for nails or areas where it is difficult to sample fungi, a scraper can be used to polish the skin before sampling). After sampling, stick the adhesive layer of the sampling membrane 2 onto the area marked 4-2 of the reagent isolation zone on slide 4. If it is not flat, a cotton swab can be used to help flatten it. The sampling operation is now complete.
[0029] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
