Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically a vaginal discharge specimen placement tube. Background Technology
[0002] A vaginal discharge specimen placement tube is a medical device used for collecting, preserving, and transporting gynecological vaginal discharge specimens. It is typically made of plastic or glass, possessing good chemical stability and transparency. Its shape is usually cylindrical, equipped with a sealing cap to ensure the specimen remains sterile and sealed during storage and transportation, preventing leakage and the entry of external contaminants. During a gynecological examination, the doctor uses a speculum to open the vagina, collects a sample of secretions from inside the vagina with a cotton swab, places the swab containing the sample into the specimen placement tube, seals it, and then sends it to the laboratory for testing. Tests include vaginal pH, vaginal cleanliness, microbial examination, amine test, and clue cells, to help determine if the patient has gynecological problems such as vaginal inflammation or infection.
[0003] Currently, after sampling vaginal discharge with a cotton swab, the discharge adheres to the cotton ball at the end of the swab. When the cotton ball is inserted into the specimen placement tube, and later removed from the tube for testing, the cotton ball easily comes into contact with the inner wall of the tube. This causes the discharge to transfer and adhere to the inner wall, resulting in sample loss. The loss of key components may affect the accuracy and completeness of the test results. Therefore, we propose a vaginal discharge specimen placement tube. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vaginal discharge specimen placement tube that prevents the vaginal discharge specimen from contacting the inner wall of the tube when placed or removed, thereby avoiding specimen loss and improving the accuracy and completeness of test results. This invention solves the problem that when sampling vaginal discharge with a swab, the specimen adheres to the cotton ball at the end of the swab. When the cotton ball is inserted into the specimen placement tube or removed later for testing, it easily comes into contact with the inner wall of the tube, causing the specimen to transfer and adhere to the inner wall, resulting in specimen loss. This loss may also affect the accuracy and completeness of test results due to missing or insufficient amounts of key components.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vaginal discharge specimen placement tube, comprising a sealing cap and a specimen placement tube body, wherein a skewer rod is fixedly connected to the top axial position of the inner wall of the sealing cap, and a cotton ball is provided near the end of the outer surface of the skewer rod; the upper surface of the sealing cap is symmetrically provided with first through holes on both sides of the skewer rod, and a sliding rod is slidably inserted into each of the two first through holes; a protective cover is provided below the sealing cap, and the bottom ends of the two sliding rods are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the protective cover; a second through hole is provided at the axial position of the upper surface of the protective cover, and the skewer rod passes through the second through hole; a push-pull plate is provided above the sealing cap, and the top ends of the two sliding rods are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the lower surface of the push-pull plate.
[0006] Preferably, the inner wall of the sealing tube cap is provided with an internal thread, and the outer surface of the specimen placement tube is provided with an external thread near the top. The top of the specimen placement tube is located inside the sealing tube cap, and the sealing tube cap and the specimen placement tube are connected and fixed by the internal and external threads.
[0007] Preferably, anti-slip protrusions are provided on the outer surface of the sealing cap and near the upper surface of the outer surface of the specimen placement tube. The anti-slip protrusions are integrally formed with the specimen placement tube and the sealing cap. When the sealing cap and the specimen placement tube are rotated, the anti-slip protrusions play an anti-slip role, so as to facilitate the rotation of the sealing cap and the specimen placement tube.
[0008] Preferably, an extension tube is provided at the top of the inner wall of the sealing tube cap below the two first through holes, and the two sliding rods pass through the two extension tubes respectively. The extension tubes and the sealing tube cap are integrally formed, and the extension tubes guide the sliding of the sliding rods, improve the stability of the sliding rods, and prevent the sliding rods from shaking when sliding.
[0009] Preferably, the inner walls of both first through holes are provided with first annular grooves, and the two first annular grooves are provided with first sealing rings. The two sliding rods pass through the two first sealing rings respectively. The first sealing rings seal the first through holes to prevent dust and bacteria from entering the specimen placement tube from the first through holes and causing contamination of the leukorrhea specimen. At the same time, the soft and elastic material of the first sealing rings is conducive to fixing the sliding rods and preventing the sliding rods from shaking up and down inside the first through holes.
[0010] Preferably, a second annular groove is provided at the top of the inner wall of the sealing tube cap near the edge. A second sealing ring is provided inside the second annular groove. When the sealing tube cap is fixed to the specimen placement tube body by internal and external threads, the top of the specimen placement tube body is inserted into the second annular groove and squeezes the second sealing ring, thus sealing the gap between the sealing tube cap and the specimen placement tube body. This provides a sealed space for the placement of the vaginal discharge specimen, preventing dust and bacteria from entering the specimen placement tube body and causing contamination of the vaginal discharge specimen.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. This utility model, by setting up a sealing cap, a specimen placement tube, a squeegee, a cotton ball, a protective cover, a first through hole, a sliding rod, a push-pull plate, and a second through hole, achieves the effect of preventing the vaginal discharge specimen from contacting the inner wall of the specimen placement tube when it is placed inside or removed from the specimen placement tube, thereby avoiding the loss of the vaginal discharge specimen and improving the accuracy and completeness of the test results. When sampling the vaginal discharge specimen, the sliding rod is pulled by the push-pull plate to move the protective cover and allow the cotton ball to be removed from inside the protective cover. Remove the sample, and then use a swab and cotton ball to collect the vaginal discharge sample. After sampling, push the push-pull plate and move the protective cover by the sliding rod so that the cotton ball with the vaginal discharge sample attached to its surface enters the protective cover. Then, insert the protective cover and the cotton ball together into the specimen placement tube. When the vaginal discharge sample is placed inside the specimen placement tube or taken out of the specimen placement tube for testing, it is covered by the protective cover, which prevents the vaginal discharge sample attached to the surface of the cotton ball from contacting the inner wall of the specimen placement tube, thereby avoiding the loss of the vaginal discharge sample.
[0013] 2. By setting a first annular groove and a first sealing ring, this utility model achieves the effect of sealing the first through hole. The first sealing ring seals the first through hole to prevent dust and bacteria from entering the specimen placement tube and contaminating the leukorrhea specimen. At the same time, the soft and elastic material of the first sealing ring is conducive to the fixation of the sliding rod and prevents the sliding rod from shaking up and down inside the first through hole.
[0014] 3. By setting an extension tube, this utility model guides the sliding of the sliding rod, improves the stability of the sliding rod, and prevents the sliding rod from shaking during sliding. Attached Figure Description
