Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology research, specifically relating to a protective cover for a foot switch used in surgery. Background Technology

[0002] Before each surgery, the operating room must be thoroughly cleaned. Disposable surgical sheets are laid on the operating table, and every corner of the operating room must be cleaned of bloodstains and dirt to prevent cross-infection and eliminate safety hazards. During the laying process, lint from the disposable surgical sheets can scatter onto the operating room floor and into the gaps of foot pedal switches, making them difficult to clean. Bloodstains and dirt can easily get trapped in the gaps of the foot pedal switch casing, making cleaning extremely difficult. Currently, medical staff often use plastic bags to wrap the foot pedal switches for easier cleaning. However, wrapping the foot pedal switches in plastic bags makes them slippery, and can even lead to incorrect pedal presses, making them very inconvenient to use.

[0003] Patent CN214069740U discloses a surgical foot pedal protective cover, comprising a main protective part and a tubing protective part, which are connected as one unit. Both are hollow structures and are internally connected. The tubing protective part is cylindrical, with one end being a first open end and the other end connected to the main protective part. The main protective part has a second open end into which the surgical foot pedal can be fitted, and the second open end is located on the side away from the tubing protective part. The second open end is provided with a sealing structure. In use, the tubing is first inserted through the second open end and then passes through the tubing protective part. After adjusting the position, two elastic rubber rings are respectively fitted over the two foot pedals from inside the protective cover for fixation. Then, the second open end is sealed by the sealing structure, and the tubing protective part is tightened and fixed by two straps.

[0004] However, under normal circumstances, the gap between the pedal and the foot pedal housing is small, and the elastic rubber ring needs to be inserted into the gap between the pedal and the foot pedal to fix the wear-resistant and anti-slip particles on the pedal. However, this will affect the use of the pedal, and during use, the elastic rubber ring will come off from the edge of the pedal, causing the wear-resistant and anti-slip particles to shift and affecting the normal use of the foot switch. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the inconvenience of using existing surgical foot pedal protective covers.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical approach adopted by this utility model is as follows: A protective cover for a surgical foot switch is provided. The foot switch protective cover body includes a single-pedal protective cover and a double-pedal protective cover. The single-pedal protective cover has a receiver on one side, which houses the double-pedal protective cover. When protecting the double-pedal foot switch, anti-slip pads are added to the double-pedal protective cover so that after the double-pedal protective cover is placed over the double-pedal foot switch, the two anti-slip pads are fixed above the pedals to prevent medical personnel from slipping while stepping on the pedals. When protecting the single-pedal foot switch, the double-pedal protective cover is stored in the receiver without affecting the use of the single-pedal foot switch. Thus, the surgical foot switch protective cover provided by this utility model is applicable to different sizes and types of foot switches, prevents medical personnel from slipping while stepping on the pedals, and is simple to operate and convenient to use.

[0007] Based on the above technical concept, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] As described in the background section, in the prior art, during routine cleaning of the operating room, contaminants such as stains, bloodstains, and lint from disposable hospital sheets can easily contaminate the gaps of the foot switch, making it difficult to clean.

[0046] Therefore, in this embodiment of the utility model, a protective cover is provided on the outside of the foot switch to prevent contaminants such as stains, bloodstains, and lint from disposable hospital sheets from contaminating the foot switch, preventing contaminants from seeping into the gaps of the foot switch, reducing the difficulty of cleaning the foot switch, ensuring the cleanliness of the operation, and reducing the safety risks of infection for the patient.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a protective cover for a surgical foot switch, including a foot switch protective cover body, a single-pedal protective cover 1, and a double-pedal protective cover 3.

[0049] The single-pedal protective sleeve 1 has a container 2 on one side, which is used to accommodate the double-pedal protective sleeve 3.

[0050] The single-pedal protective cover 1 is used to accommodate the single-pedal foot switch.

[0051] The dual-pedal protective cover 3 is used to accommodate the dual-pedal foot switch.

[0052] A foot switch is a switch that controls the on / off state of a circuit by stepping on it. It is used in control circuits where the hands cannot reach, replacing the need for hand operation. This is a structure well-known to those skilled in the art, and this invention does not modify the foot switch. Foot switches include single-pedal foot switches and double-pedal foot switches. For example, a single-pedal foot switch can be a YBLT-EKW model foot switch. A double-pedal foot switch can be an HRF-M52 model foot switch.

[0053] The dual-pedal protective cover 3 is equipped with an anti-slip plate 31, a fixing clip 32, a tightening strip 33, and a power cord retainer 34.

[0054] Specifically, the dual-pedal protective sleeve 3 has an opening on its side so that the dual-pedal foot switch can enter the inner cavity of the dual-pedal protective sleeve 3 through the opening.

[0055] The surface of the anti-slip pad 2 is provided with anti-slip units. Specifically, the anti-slip units can be anti-slip ridges or anti-slip particles. The anti-slip pad 2 is made of silicone or rubber.

[0056] Specifically, the anti-slip pad 31 is set above the double pedal protective cover 3; in actual use, the two anti-slip pads 31 need to be set on the pedals of the double pedal foot switch respectively so that medical staff can prevent slipping when stepping on them.

[0057] The anti-slip plate 31 is connected to the dual-pedal protective cover 3 via Velcro 37. Velcro 37 includes a looped surface 37a and a hook surface 37b. The looped surface 37a is located on the upper surface of the dual-pedal protective cover 3; correspondingly, the hook surface 37b is located on the bottom surface of the anti-slip plate 31. In use, the side of the anti-slip plate 31 with the hook surface 37b is connected to the looped surface 37a to secure the anti-slip plate 31 to the dual-pedal protective cover 3, positioned above the foot switch pedal.

[0058] A tightening strip 33 is provided at the opening edge of the double pedal protective sleeve 3. Specifically, the tightening strip 33 is a deformable steel wire strip. In use, after the foot switch is placed in the receiving cavity of the foot switch protective sleeve body 1, the foot switch protective sleeve body 1 can be rolled up with the tightening strip 33 as the center, and the two ends of the tightening strip 12 are bent inward to fix the foot switch protective sleeve body 1, prevent the foot switch protective sleeve body 1 from opening, and achieve the tightening of the side of the foot switch.

[0059] A fixing clip 32 is disposed on the double pedal protective sleeve 3 on one side perpendicular to the opening. A fixing clip limiting sleeve 36 is also provided on the double pedal protective sleeve 3 to secure the fixing clip 32 and prevent it from falling off. Specifically, the fixing clip limiting sleeve 36 has an opening to allow the fixing clip 32 to move; when it is necessary to fold the double pedal protective sleeve 3, the fixing clip 32 can be removed from the opening of the fixing clip limiting sleeve 36 to allow the double pedal protective sleeve 3 to fold.

[0060] Specifically, the clamp 32 includes a clamp body 32a and an adjusting rod 32b disposed on the clamp body 32a. Specifically, the adjusting rod 32b is arranged parallel to the clamp body 32a. In use, medical personnel can adjust the position of the clamp body 32a by grasping the adjusting rod 32b, so that the side of the foot switch is tightened by the clamp body 32a.

[0061] In this way, during actual use, the tightening strip 33 and the fixing clip 32 are set perpendicular to each other so that the foot switch of the double pedal is tightened all around, preventing the foot switch protective cover body from shifting on the double pedal foot switch.

[0062] In practical applications, the bottom end of the double-pedal protective cover 3 is also provided with a retainer 35 for connecting with the single-pedal protective cover 1, so as not to affect the normal use of the foot cover switch. It should be noted that the retainer 35 is not limited in this embodiment of the utility model. For example, the retainer 35 can be a buckle, Velcro, strap or button; this embodiment of the utility model is illustrated by using a concealed button as the retainer 35.

[0063] When using the dual-pedal protective cover 3, the single-pedal protective cover 1 can be fixed on the bottom surface of the dual-pedal protective cover 3 using the fixing device 35. This will not affect the normal use of the dual-pedal foot switch.

[0064] When not using the dual pedal protective cover 3, the fixing clip 32 can be pulled out and the anti-slip plate 31 can be removed and stored for reuse, resulting in low usage costs.

[0065] Example 2

[0066] Based on Embodiment 1, but differing from Embodiment 1, the single-pedal protective cover 1 is a square structure with a receiving cavity. An anti-slip particle layer 11 is provided on its upper surface, and a zipper 54 is provided at the opening of the single-pedal protective cover 1 to seal the single-pedal foot switch housed within the single-pedal protective cover 1, preventing bloodstains and dirt from contaminating the single-pedal foot switch. In use, the single-pedal foot switch can be placed inside the receiving cavity of the single-pedal protective cover 1, with the side having the anti-slip particle layer facing above the pedal of the single-pedal foot switch.

[0067] Specifically, a container 2 is provided on one side of the single-pedal protective cover 1. The container 2 has an opening on the side facing the double-pedal protective cover 3, so that the double-pedal protective cover 3 can be folded and stored in the receiving cavity of the container 2 during the process of protecting the single-pedal foot switch, without affecting the normal use of the single-pedal foot switch.

[0068] Example 3

[0069] Based on Embodiment 1, unlike Embodiments 1 and 2, the dual-pedal protective sleeve 3 provided in this embodiment of the utility model is provided with a power cord retainer 34.

[0070] Specifically, the power cord retainer 34 is a cylindrical elastic silicone sleeve, and an elastic silicone ring is provided at the connection between the elastic silicone sleeve and the dual-pedal protective sleeve 3, with the elastic silicone ring integrally connected to the power cord retainer 34. Correspondingly, mounting holes are provided on the dual-pedal protective sleeve 3 to fix the elastic silicone ring to the dual-pedal protective sleeve 3.

[0071] It should be noted that this embodiment of the invention does not limit the specific connection method between the elastic silicone ring and the double pedal protective sleeve 3; for example, the elastic silicone ring can be fixed to the foot switch protective sleeve body 1 by means of adhesive, strapping, sewing, etc. This embodiment of the invention uses adhesive as an example.

[0072] In this way, when in use, medical staff can widen the front opening of the power cord retainer 34, and then insert the power cord connector through the front opening of the power cord retainer 34 into the double pedal protective sleeve 3. The medical staff can then loosen the opening of the power cord retainer 34, and the power cord retainer 34 will return to its natural state. At this time, the power cord retainer 34 is in close contact with the power cord, thereby generating friction between the power cord retainer 34 and the power cord, thus preventing the power cord from coming out.

[0073] Example 4

[0074] Based on Embodiment 3, but unlike Embodiment 3, this embodiment of the present invention also provides a reinforcing band 34a on the outer surface of the power cord holder 34. The reinforcing band 34a is wrapped around the power cord holder 34 once and then tightened by a tightening member 34b, thereby increasing the friction between the power cord holder 34 and the power cord and further preventing the power cord from falling off.

[0075] The material of the reinforcing strip 34a is a flexible material, specifically cotton cloth.

[0076] The tightening component 34b can specifically be a hat drawstring buckle. It should be noted that hat drawstring buckles are existing technology and are widely used in daily life, especially in securing the drawstring of hats.

[0077] Example 5

[0078] Based on Embodiment 3, unlike Embodiments 1, 2, 3 and 4, a power cord retainer 34 is also provided on the side of the single pedal protective cover 1 so that the power cord can be prevented from falling off while the single pedal foot switch is connected to the power cord.

[0079] To facilitate the use of the single-pedal protective cover 1, the power cord retainer 34 set on the side of the single-pedal protective cover 1 is set parallel to and opposite to the power cord retainer 34 set on the double-pedal protective cover 3. Since medical staff are accustomed to using the foot switch with their right foot, the container 2 is located on the left side of the single-pedal protective cover 1 during the process of protecting the single-pedal foot switch with the single-pedal protective cover 1, so as not to affect the medical staff from stepping on the foot switch.

[0080] Correspondingly, the opening of the single pedal protective cover 1 is located on the side opposite to the power cord retainer 34.

[0081] Implementation Case:

[0082] Before surgery, the operating room needs to be cleaned and the air inside needs to be circulated. This includes wiping the floor, operating table, instruments and equipment. At the same time, the operating room needs to be prepared with sufficient supplies of supplies such as disinfectants, gloves and masks. Disposable sheets should be laid out and foot switches should be protected.

[0083] Taking a dual-pedal foot switch as an example:

[0084] Step 1: Take the double pedal protective cover 3 out of the container 2, then lay the double pedal protective cover 3 flat, and then place the double pedal foot switch in the receiving cavity of the double pedal protective cover 3.

[0085] Step 2: Insert the power cord connector through the front end of the power cord holder 34, and then connect the power cord to the dual-pedal foot switch;

[0086] Step 3: Medical staff grasp both ends of the tightening strip 33 and then rotate the tightening strip 33 to seal the opening of the double pedal protective sleeve 3 while tightening the sides of the double pedal protective sleeve 3, thereby bending both ends of the tightening strip 33 inward and fixing them.

[0087] Step 4: Medical staff fix the clamp 32 in the clamp limiting sleeve 36, and then adjust the rod 32b to move the clamp body 32a toward the double pedal foot switch side to tighten the side of the double pedal protective sleeve 3; at this time, the double pedal foot switch can be tightened around the clamp by the tightening strip 33 and the clamp body 32a, thereby preventing the double pedal protective sleeve 3 from shifting.

[0088] Step 5: Secure the two anti-slip pads 31 to the double pedal protective cover 3 and above the pedal of the double pedal foot switch using Velcro 37.

[0089] Step 6: Fix the single-pedal protective cover 1 to the bottom surface of the double-pedal protective cover 3 using the fixing device 35, and the double-pedal foot switch can be used normally.

[0090] Taking a single-pedal foot switch as an example:

[0091] Step 1: After opening the single pedal protective cover 1, place the single pedal foot switch in the receiving cavity of the single pedal protective cover 1, and place the side with the anti-slip particle layer 11 above the pedal of the single pedal foot switch.

[0092] Step 2: Insert the power cord connector through the front end of the power cord retainer 34 on the single pedal protective cover 1, and then connect the power cord to the single pedal foot switch. The single pedal foot switch can then be used normally.

[0093] During the above process, the container 2 does not need to be opened, that is, the double pedal protective cover 3 does not need to be removed, so as not to affect the normal use of the single pedal foot switch.

[0094] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
