Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical devices, specifically relating to a splash-proof protective cover for a surgical electrosurgical unit. Background Technology

[0002] In breast surgery, surgical electrocautery is frequently used. A surgical electrocautery system consists of a main unit and a scalpel. The scalpel connects to the main unit via a wire. The scalpel mainly comprises a handle and a cutting tip. The cutting tip is attached to the handle and is used for tissue cutting and hemostasis. It uses high-frequency current to generate high temperatures to vaporize and separate tissue. During surgery, when the cutting tip acts on the tissue, the high temperature causes the blood and tissue fluid at the incision site to vaporize instantly, forming high-speed splashed liquid or aerosol particles. These liquids can easily splash directly into the surgeon's eyes and face, causing visual obstruction, increased risk of infection, and potentially occupational exposure injuries.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, patent document CN217853353U discloses a disposable incision splash guard, which reveals that a transparent cover prevents bone fragments, blood, and bodily fluids from splashing into the surgeon's eyes, face, and clothing during the movement of the oscillating saw, thus reducing the incidence of occupational exposure. However, this solution has some problems when applied to surgical electrosurgeries: 1. Fixing the oscillating saw with elastic bands / double-sided tape results in poor adaptability and difficulty in matching different sizes of electrosurgeries; 2. Adding a cooling injection port complicates the structure, while electrosurgery operations have low cooling requirements; 3. The frustum-shaped cover relies on steel wire for shaping, and unfolding / folding requires manual shaping, which is not conducive to rapid operation. Therefore, a splash guard adapted to surgical electrosurgeries needs to be designed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the splash protection problem of existing surgical electrosurgical units and to provide a splash-proof protective cover for surgical electrosurgical units.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: a splash-proof protective cover for a surgical electrosurgical unit, including a collar and a transparent cover cloth. The outer wall of the collar is provided with several transparent skeletons, which are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the collar. The cover cloth covers and is fixed on the skeletons to form a protective cover. The inner wall of the collar is provided with threads. The collar is sleeved on the lower end of the electrosurgical unit handle and threadedly connected to it. The tip of the electrosurgical unit extends out of the protective cover.

[0006] Optionally, the cover is made of 12μm medical PET film.

[0007] Optionally, the outer wall of the collar is provided with 6 PETG material skeletons.

[0008] Optionally, the included angle between the skeleton and the collar is 60-90°.

[0009] The usage and principle of this utility model: This utility model is aseptically packaged and for single use. The protective cover is removed from the packaging, and the collar is fitted onto the lower end of the electrosurgical handle. The collar is rotated to secure it to the threaded connection of the handle, allowing for operation of the electrosurgical device. The protective cover consists of a transparent frame and a cover fabric, ensuring a clear surgical field. The collar and frame work together to ensure the overall stability of the protective cover, maintaining a relatively stable operating space. The collar and electrosurgical handle are threaded together, allowing for quick installation and compatibility with different electrosurgical device sizes.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages: the present invention is easy to install, and can effectively prevent liquid splashing when using a surgical electrosurgical unit, thus having less impact on the surgical operation. Attached Figure Description

[0011] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the front structure of this utility model;

[0012] The following are the detailed labels in the attached drawings: collar 1, cover fabric 2, skeleton 3. Detailed Implementation

[0013] Example 1, in conjunction with the following Figure 1 To further illustrate this utility model, a splash-proof protective cover for a surgical electrosurgical unit includes a collar 1 and a transparent cover 2. The cover is made of 12μm medical PET film. Six transparent skeletons 3 are fixed to the outer wall of the collar. The skeletons can be straight or curved. The skeletons are made of PETG material and are spaced apart along the circumference of the collar. The angle between the skeletons and the collar is 60-90°. The cover is fixed to the skeletons to form a protective cover. The inner wall of the collar is threaded, and the outer wall of the lower end of the electrosurgical handle is threaded. The collar is fitted onto the lower end of the electrosurgical handle and threadedly connected to it. The tip of the electrosurgical knife extends out of the protective cover.

[0014] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
