Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, specifically a disinfection device that utilizes the protective cap of an ear thermometer for repeated disinfection. Background Technology

[0002] Ear thermometer caps are widely used in medical institutions to prevent cross-infection between patients. However, the "one cap per patient" requirement in clinical practice results in a huge daily consumption of these caps. The non-degradable nature of these polypropylene caps exacerbates medical plastic pollution, and their small size makes them easily lost. Traditional sterilization methods struggle to accurately and thoroughly disinfect these small caps, leading to uneven disinfection in some areas. Inadequate disinfection practices are observed during peak outpatient periods.

[0003] While some disinfection devices possess ultraviolet (UV) capabilities, they cannot achieve precise atomized alcohol spraying. Furthermore, the ear thermometer caps are loosely secured, affecting disinfection uniformity. Most also have complex structures, making it difficult for healthcare workers to quickly attach and detach the caps, thus reducing practical efficiency. Therefore, the current use of disposable protective caps has shortcomings in terms of infection control, economic cost, and ecological sustainability. There is an urgent need to develop reusable and rapid sterilization technologies to address this clinical challenge. Utility Model Content
