Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disinfectant swab technology, specifically a clinical connector disinfectant swab. Background Technology
[0002] In clinical practice, various puncture and catheter placement procedures avoid repeated punctures and benefit both patients and clinical medical staff. After catheter placement, sterile connectors are used for subsequent use. Therefore, to prevent secondary infection during reuse, these connectors must be strictly sterilized to ensure a sterile state. Thus, connector sterilization is crucial and requires a convenient and qualified tool.
[0003] In clinical practice, most people use dry cotton swabs dipped in disinfectant for disinfection, or use alcohol wipes for disinfection. The biggest drawback of these methods is that the procedures are cumbersome and the process is lengthy.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure to propose a clinical connector disinfection swab. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clinical connector sterilization swab to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a clinical connector disinfectant swab, including a connecting rod, a support head fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod, the support head being elliptical in shape, a groove being formed at the lower end of the surface of the support head, the groove forming a "U" shape, and a disinfectant cotton being fixedly sleeved on the surface of the support head, the disinfectant cotton being elliptical in shape with the same shape as the support head.
[0007] Preferably, a hand handle is fixedly installed at the upper end of the connecting rod, and stripes are provided on both the upper and lower surfaces of the hand handle.
[0008] Preferably, the hand handle is configured as a flat ellipse, and the connecting rod is also configured as a flat rod.
[0009] Preferably, the stripes are raised textures, and the thickness of the connecting rod is the same as that of the hand handle.
[0010] Preferably, a disinfection box is provided on the outside of the connecting rod, and a sealing cap is threaded onto the upper surface of the disinfection box.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. This utility model, through the setting of a support head, a groove, and a disinfectant cotton, provides shape support for the disinfectant cotton, avoiding the situation where the disinfectant cotton collapses and becomes soft during wiping and cleaning, resulting in poor contact with the connector and insufficient wiping and disinfection. It ensures that the disinfectant cotton fits tightly with the connector, thereby improving the effectiveness of wiping and cleaning. When wiping and disinfecting the end of the connector, the edge of the end will push the disinfectant cotton into the groove, so that the entire end of the cotton swab forms a "U" shape covering the end of the connector, thereby effectively wrapping the end of the connector and performing thorough and effective disinfection. This disinfection wiping method also makes disinfecting the end of the connector simpler, faster, more convenient and practical.
[0013] 2. This utility model features a flat handle and stripes. The flat handle increases the contact area, making it easier for medical staff to apply force and grasp the swab. The stripes also increase the pinching friction of the handle, effectively preventing the swab from shifting or rotating in the hand of medical staff when wiping the connector with a sterile cotton swab. This greatly improves the stability of pinching and using the swab. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a clinical connector sterilization swab includes a connecting rod 1, a support head 2 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 1, the support head 2 is set as an elliptical ball, a groove 3 is opened at the lower end of the surface of the support head 2, the groove 3 makes the support head 2 form a "U" shape, and a sterilization cotton 4 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the support head 2, the sterilization cotton 4 is set as an elliptical ball with the same shape as the support head 2.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the support head 2 provides shape support for the disinfectant cotton 4, avoiding the situation where the disinfectant cotton 4 collapses and softens during wiping and cleaning, resulting in poor contact with the connector and insufficient wiping and disinfection.
[0021] When wiping and disinfecting the end of the connector, the edge of the end will push the disinfectant cotton 4 into the groove 3, so that the entire end of the cotton swab forms a "U" shape to cover the end of the connector, thereby effectively wrapping the end of the connector and carrying out thorough and effective disinfection.
[0022] Furthermore, a hand handle 5 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the connecting rod 1, and stripes 6 are provided on both the upper and lower surfaces of the hand handle 5; the hand handle 5 is set as a flat oval shape, and the connecting rod 1 is also set as a flat rod body; the stripes 6 are set as raised textures, and the thickness of the connecting rod 1 is the same as that of the hand handle 5.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the handle 5 is made flat, increasing the force-bearing area and making it easier for medical staff to apply force and pick it up;
[0024] Stripe 6 increases the pinching friction of the handle 5, which can effectively prevent the entire swab from shifting or rotating in the hands of medical staff due to the friction generated when wiping the connector with sterile cotton 4.
[0025] Furthermore, a disinfection box 7 is provided on the outside of the connecting rod 1, and a sealing cap 8 is connected to the upper surface of the disinfection box 7 by thread; the inside of the disinfection box 7 is filled with disinfectant solution, the disinfectant solution soaks the disinfectant cotton 4, and the disinfection box 7 is made of light-proof material.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the disinfection box 7 is used to hold disinfection cotton swabs. The disinfection cotton 4 in the disinfection cotton swabs can fully absorb the disinfectant. After opening the disinfection box 7, it can be used directly, so that it can be used immediately after opening the lid. There is no need to take out the disinfection cotton swabs and then dip them in the disinfectant. The light-proof material can prevent the disinfectant inside the disinfection box 7 from deteriorating due to light exposure.
[0027] The sealing cap 8 can completely seal the disinfection box 7, preventing the disinfectant filling inside the disinfection box 7 and the disinfectant absorbed by the disinfectant cotton 4 from evaporating.
[0028] Working principle: When using this clinical connector disinfectant swab, first, open the sealed cap 8. Medical staff take out the entire swab through the handle 5. Since the swab has absorbed sufficient disinfectant inside the disinfection box 7, it does not need to be re-soaked in disinfectant after being taken out and can be used directly. The handle 5 is designed to be flat, increasing the force-bearing area and making it easier for medical staff to apply force to hold it. Then, the swab can be pinched and the disinfectant cotton 4 with disinfectant absorbed can be used to wipe the connector for disinfection. The support head 2 provides shape support for the disinfectant cotton 4, ensuring that the disinfectant cotton 4 fits tightly with the connector for thorough wiping and disinfection. When wiping the end of the connector, the edge of the end will push the disinfectant cotton 4 into the groove 3, so that the entire end of the swab forms a "U" shape covering the end of the connector, thereby effectively wrapping the end of the connector for thorough and effective disinfection. In addition, the stripes 6 increase the pinching friction of the handle 5, which can effectively prevent the entire swab from shifting or rotating in the hand of medical staff due to the friction generated when wiping the connector with the disinfectant cotton 4. This is the working principle of this clinical connector disinfectant swab.
