Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to medical supplies, specifically relating to a moisture-absorbing bag for use with an oral mirror. Background Technology

[0002] During dental imaging, a dental imaging mirror is used to ensure clear images of all surfaces of each tooth. This mirror is a smooth, plate-like structure with a handheld operating end and the rest being the mirror surface. There are generally 13 different models of mirrors, each with slight variations in shape. After use, the mirror needs to be cleaned and sterilized. Sterilization requires packaging, typically using a paper-plastic bag. However, these bags only seal and do not absorb water. Water residue left on the mirror will form watermarks after sterilization, causing a blurry and unclear image, resulting in poor reusability. To address this, medical staff wrap the mirror with absorbent paper before placing it in the paper-plastic bag. Since mirrors are not standard shapes, wrapping them is time-consuming and requires care to avoid scratching the relatively fragile surface. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a moisture-absorbing bag for oral mirrors, which is used as an inner bag inside a paper-plastic bag for absorbing water during the sterilization of the mirror. The mirror does not need to be repeatedly wrapped when it is put into the moisture-absorbing bag; only the edge of the bag needs to be adjusted to make it closer to the shape of the mirror. During sterilization, the outer paper-plastic bag is still used to ensure that the mirror is sealed after sterilization. The specific solution is as follows: a moisture-absorbing bag for an oral mirror, comprising a bag body; the bag body includes two oppositely connected bag pieces, the side of the bag pieces that are close to each other is the absorbent side, and the side that are opposite to each other is the indicator side; preferably, the bag pieces can be medical high-absorbency composite paper, one side of which is a temperature-changing indicator side with a chemical layer, and the other side is the absorbent side. The bag body is equipped with an adjusting component, which includes a bent end and a fixed end. The bent end is located at the edge of the bag body, and the fixed end is located on any bag panel. The bent end bends towards and connects with the fixed end. Because the shapes of the reflectors vary across different models, the bent end and fixed end are used to adjust the shape of the bag body, making it fit the reflector better and preventing reduced absorbency due to the reflector not fully fitting the bag panel. Furthermore, the absorbent surface and the indicating surface are integrated into a single structure.

[0004] Furthermore, the bag body is equipped with multiple adjustment components distributed along the edge of the bag body to adjust the size of different parts of the bag body. Adjustment components are set in different parts of the bag body. According to the shape of the reflector to be placed, the corresponding adjustment component is selected to fold the edge of the bag body, so that the edge of the bag body fits the reflector better, increases the water absorption area, and makes the water absorption effect more comprehensive.

[0005] Furthermore, the edge of the bag body has an opening perpendicular to the bag piece to form a bent end with a folded structure. The fixed end is a fixing strip fixed to the bag piece, and an insertion port is formed between the fixing strip and the bag piece. The bent end is folded and inserted into the insertion port to form a connection. The purpose of using a fixing strip to form an insertion port instead of making an opening directly on the bag piece is to prevent the reflector from being scratched during the process of inserting the bent end into the insertion port.

[0006] Alternatively, both the bent end and the fixed end are equipped with snap fasteners, and the bent end and the fixed end are connected by snap fasteners.

[0007] Depending on the model of the reflector being used, bend the bag at the point where the shape of the reflector and the shape of the bag differ, so that the bag fits the reflector better. Insert the bent end into the pre-reserved fixing end of the bag to secure it.

[0008] Furthermore, multiple fixing ends are provided along the bending direction of the bending end to allow the bending end to bend to different distances; that is, the distance between the fixing end and the bending end is different. Some models of reflectors are wider and closer to the edge of the bag, so only a certain distance needs to be folded at the bending end. However, some models of reflectors are narrower and farther from the edge of the bag, so the distance that the bending end needs to be folded will be increased. Setting fixing ends at different distances allows for fixing the bending end in various situations.

[0009] Furthermore, the indicator surface has a chemical layer whose color changes with temperature. The indicator surface will change color according to the sterilization time to distinguish whether the reflector has been sterilized. If the color is the initial color, sterilization has not yet been carried out. If it changes to the standard color, sterilization is complete, preventing the reflector to be sterilized from being confused with the sterilized reflector. The standard color and the initial color will be different depending on the chemical reagents contained in the chemical layer.

[0010] Furthermore, the bag body is provided with an easy-tear line, which can be located at the operating end to facilitate holding the bag after tearing. Preferably, the easy-tear line is set along the long side of the bag body, gradually extending towards the mirror surface from the operating end until the reflector is completely removed.

[0011] Furthermore, the bag is trapezoidal or rectangular, wider at one end and narrower at the other. There are thirteen models of reflectors. The length is measured from the hand-held end to the mirror surface, and the width is measured perpendicular to this direction. The length of each model of reflector is greater than its width, while the width of the operating end is less than the width of the mirror surface. Therefore, trapezoidal or rectangular bag designs are more versatile and convenient for adjustment.

[0012] Furthermore, the absorbent surface has a soft structure to prevent scratching the mirror when it is placed in the bag.

[0013] Furthermore, one end of the bag is open, while the rest of the edges are closed.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: (1) This application absorbs moisture from the mirror before sterilization to remove the effect of water stains on the smoothness of the mirror and improves the photographic effect.

[0015] (2) The adjustment component in this application can adjust the edge of the moisture-absorbing bag so that it can fit tightly to any type of reflector, thereby improving the moisture absorption effect.

[0016] (3) This application is simple to operate and easy to use, which improves the efficiency of doctors' disinfection and also makes it easy to remove, thus improving convenience.

[0017] (4) This application provides an indicator surface, which makes it easier to distinguish between sterilized and unsterilized mirrors and avoids confusion between mirrors. Attached Figure Description

[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a moisture-absorbing bag for an oral mirror includes a bag body; the bag body includes two oppositely connected bag pieces 1, the side of the bag pieces 1 that is close to each other is the absorbent side 11, and the side that is opposite to each other is the indicator side 12; preferably, the bag pieces 1 can be medical high-absorbency composite paper, one side of which is a temperature color-changing indicator side 12 with a chemical layer, and the other side is the absorbent side 11. The bag body is provided with an adjusting component 2, which includes a bent end 21 and a fixed end 22. The bent end 21 is located at the edge of the bag body, and the fixed end 22 is located on any bag piece 1. The bent end 21 bends towards the fixed end 22 and connects with the fixed end 22. Since the shapes of the reflectors of different models are different, the bent end 21 and the fixed end 22 are set to adjust the shape of the bag body so that it fits the reflector better and prevents the reflector from partially fitting the bag piece 1, which would reduce the water absorption effect.

[0026] In one specific embodiment, the absorbent surface 11 and the indicator surface 12 are integrally connected.

[0027] In one specific embodiment, the bag body is provided with multiple adjusting members 2, which are distributed along the edge of the bag body to adjust the size of different parts of the bag body. Adjusting members 2 are set at different parts of the bag body. According to the shape of the reflector to be placed, the corresponding position of the adjusting member 2 is selected to fold the edge of the bag body, so that the edge of the bag body fits the reflector better, increasing the water absorption area and making the water absorption effect more comprehensive.

[0028] In one specific embodiment, the edge of the bag body is provided with a bent end 21 with an opening perpendicular to the bag piece 1 to form a folded structure. The fixed end 22 is a fixing strip 221 fixed to the bag piece 1. An insertion port 222 is formed between the fixing strip 221 and the bag piece 1. The bent end 21 is folded and inserted into the insertion port 222 to form a plug. The purpose of using the fixing strip 221 to form the insertion port 222 instead of making an opening directly on the bag piece 1 is to prevent the reflector from being scratched during the process of inserting the bent end 21 into the insertion port 222.

[0029] In another specific embodiment, both the bent end 21 and the fixed end 22 are provided with a snap fastener 223, and the bent end 21 and the fixed end 22 are engaged by the snap fastener 223.

[0030] Depending on the model of the reflector being inserted, the bag body is bent at the location where the shape of the reflector and the shape of the bag piece 1 differ, so that the bag body fits the reflector better. The bent end 21 is inserted into the pre-reserved fixing end 22 of the bag piece 1 for fixation.

[0031] In one specific embodiment, multiple fixed ends 22 are provided along the bending direction of the bending end 21 so that the bending end 21 bends by different distances; that is, the fixed ends 22 are at different distances from the bending end 21. Some models of reflectors are wider and closer to the edge of the bag, so only a certain distance needs to be folded at the bending end 21. However, some models of reflectors are narrower and farther from the edge of the bag, so the bending end 21 needs to be folded by a greater distance. Setting fixed ends 22 at different distances makes it possible to fix the bending end 21 in various situations.

[0032] In one specific embodiment, the indicator surface 12 has a chemical layer whose color changes with temperature. The indicator surface 12 will change color according to the sterilization time to distinguish whether the reflector has been sterilized. If the color is the initial color, sterilization has not yet been carried out. If the color changes to the standard color, sterilization has been completed, thus preventing the reflector to be sterilized from being confused with the reflector that has been sterilized.

[0033] In one specific embodiment, the bag body is provided with an easy-tear line 3, which can be provided at the operating end to facilitate holding after tearing. Preferably, the easy-tear line 3 is provided along the long side of the bag body and extends gradually towards the mirror surface from the operating end until the reflector is completely removed.

[0034] Alternatively, it may have two easy-tear lines 3, with an easy-tear strip 31 between the two easy-tear lines 3.

[0035] In one specific embodiment, the bag 1 is a trapezoid or rectangle with one end wider than the other. There are thirteen models of reflectors. The length is measured from the hand-held end to the mirror surface, and the width is measured perpendicular to this direction. The length of each model of reflector is greater than its width, while the width of the operating end is less than the width of the mirror surface. Therefore, the trapezoidal or rectangular bag 1 is more universal and convenient for the adjustment component 2 to adjust.

[0036] In one specific embodiment, the surface of the absorbent surface 11 has a soft structure to prevent scratching the mirror when it is placed in the bag.

[0037] In one specific embodiment, the bag is open at one end and closed at the other edges.

[0038] During disinfection, first place the reflector into the bag and seal the bag opening. Adjust the adjusting piece 2 on the edge of the bag according to the shape of the reflector. Fold the corresponding bent end 21 and fix it to the fixed end 22 so that the absorbent surface 11 inside the bag and the reflector fit tightly. Place the bag into a paper-plastic bag and seal it for high-temperature sterilization. The indicator surface 12 will change color after sterilization. When using, open the paper-plastic bag and place it on the operating table for later use. After the doctor finds the tooth to be photographed, tear the bag along the easy-tear strip 31 and take out the reflector hand-held operating end for use.
