Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical disinfection device technology, specifically relating to a sputum disinfection and collection device for tuberculosis patients. Background Technology

[0002] Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily transmitted through the respiratory tract. When patients cough, sneeze, or talk, they expel droplets containing a large number of tubercle bacilli. These droplets can remain suspended in the air for extended periods, potentially infecting healthy individuals upon inhalation. Sputum is a significant carrier of tubercle bacilli; if unsterilized, it can contaminate the surrounding environment, increasing the risk of infection for others. Controlling the source of infection is crucial in TB prevention and control. Disinfecting sputum effectively kills tubercle bacilli, reducing their spread in the environment and thus lowering the risk of TB transmission, protecting the health of those around them. Currently, most TB patients lack awareness of the importance of sputum disinfection and are not proactive in disinfecting their sputum, exhibiting improper behaviors such as spitting indiscriminately, which increases the risk of tubercle bacillus transmission. Furthermore, current disinfection methods have limitations: while various sputum disinfection methods exist, such as boiling, chemical disinfection, and incineration, these methods all have certain limitations in practice. For example, boiling for disinfection requires specialized containers and heating equipment, and the process is relatively cumbersome; chemical disinfection requires accurate control of the concentration and application method of the disinfectant, otherwise the desired disinfection effect may not be achieved; incineration disinfection may be restricted in some places and poses safety hazards. For tuberculosis patients receiving home treatment, their families may lack adequate disinfection conditions, such as specialized disinfection equipment and disinfectants, making it difficult to effectively disinfect sputum. In some primary healthcare institutions or resource-scarce areas, timely, standardized, and effective sputum disinfection services for tuberculosis patients may not be available, such as a lack of professional disinfection equipment and personnel, affecting the implementation of sputum disinfection work. Furthermore, supervising the sputum disinfection of tuberculosis patients is difficult, making it hard to ensure that every patient disinfects their sputum as required. Especially in community and home environments, the lack of effective supervision mechanisms makes it easy for patients to fail to comply with disinfection regulations, leading to community transmission of tuberculosis.

[0003] Currently, the existing publication number CN109078214A describes a sputum disinfection device and method for patients with respiratory infectious diseases. The device includes a bag body with an opening and a body. The opening is sealed by a sealing device, and the interior of the body is divided into a disinfectant filling section and a sputum collection section by an openable seal. The disinfection device and its accompanying disinfection method of this invention can effectively eliminate bacteria in the sputum of patients with respiratory infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, reducing the disease transmission rate. The disinfectant filling section and sputum collection section of this device are likely achieved through tearing or squeezing.

[0004] However, there is also a problem: the device is not very practical, it is inconvenient for patients to carry and use, and the bag containing disinfectant needs to be opened by tearing or squeezing, which poses a risk of leakage of the patient's sputum secretions. Utility Model Content

[0005] This solution provides a sputum disinfection and collection device for tuberculosis patients, which addresses the problem that existing collection bags do not handle multiple contaminants.

[0006] To address this problem, this solution provides a sputum disinfection and collection device for tuberculosis patients, comprising: Bag body; The bag includes an outer bag and an inner bag. The outer bag and the inner bag are connected to form a receiving cavity. The inner bag is disposed inside the outer bag, and the receiving cavity contains disinfectant powder.

[0007] The principle behind this solution is that when a patient needs to use it, they simply open the bag and spit into it. When the sputum comes into contact with the inner layer of the bag, the water-soluble inner layer automatically ruptures, releasing disinfectant powder that comes into contact with the sputum and disinfects it.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this solution are: the design is simple and easy to implement, and it is widely applicable to the disinfection of secretions from pulmonary tuberculosis patients and patients with respiratory infectious diseases who are hospitalized or treated at home. It can comprehensively achieve effective disinfection of sputum from pulmonary tuberculosis patients while taking into account convenient disposal and scientific management.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner bag is made of a water-soluble material.

[0010] This solution utilizes a water-soluble membrane that automatically breaks upon contact with sputum, allowing the sputum to come into contact with the disinfectant powder within the membrane. This reduces the need for patients to manually tear or squeeze the membrane, improving the device's convenience. It also avoids the risk of choking caused by exposed disinfectant powder, while ensuring sufficient effective chlorine content for timely and effective sputum disinfection.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes double-sided adhesive tape, which is applied to the outer bag. After the patient finishes spitting, they simply fold the outer bag twice and adhere the folded portion to the double-sided adhesive tape to complete the sealing. The design of the double-sided adhesive tape in this device allows the outer bag to be quickly and tightly sealed after folding, forming a completely enclosed space. This effectively prevents the leakage or spread of pathogens in the sputum. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The reference numerals in the instruction manual's accompanying drawings include: 1. Outer bag; 2. Bag opening; 3. Double-sided adhesive; 4. Receiving cavity; 5. Inner bag. Detailed Implementation

[0014] As attached Figure 1 As shown: This solution provides a sputum disinfection and collection device for tuberculosis patients. The bag is a conventional rectangular bag, consisting of an outer bag 1 and an inner bag 5. The inner bag 5 is smaller than the outer bag 1 and is located inside the outer bag 1. The inner bag 5 and the outer bag 1 are sealed together with plastic. After sealing, the cavity between the two bags is a receiving cavity 4. Disinfectant powder is sealed inside the receiving cavity 4 during the sealing process.

[0015] The outer bag 1 is made of existing biodegradable plastic material, and the inner bag 5 is made of water-soluble material, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) or polyethylene oxide (PEO).

[0016] Double-sided tape 3 is attached to the outer bag 1, positioned above the inner bag 5. When the outer bag 1 is folded twice, the folded portion adheres precisely to the double-sided tape 3.

[0017] As attached Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown: In practice, the patient first opens the bag and then spits into the bag opening 2. The sputum will automatically dissolve the inner bag 5, allowing the sputum to come into contact with the disinfectant powder, which then disinfects it. The patient then folds the outer bag 1 twice, allowing the double-sided tape 3 to adhere to the outer bag 1, sealing the bag opening 2 and completing the packaging.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: 1. The design is simple and easy to implement, widely applicable to tuberculosis patients receiving inpatient and home treatment, achieving comprehensive and effective disinfection of sputum while ensuring convenient handling and scientific management. 2. This solution utilizes a water-soluble membrane that automatically ruptures upon contact with sputum, allowing the sputum to come into contact with the disinfectant powder within the membrane. This reduces the need for patients to manually tear open the membrane, improving the device's convenience. It also avoids choking caused by exposed disinfectant powder while ensuring sufficient effective chlorine content, achieving timely and effective sputum disinfection. 3. The double-sided adhesive tape design allows the outer bag 1 to be quickly sealed after folding, forming a completely enclosed space. This effectively prevents the leakage or spread of pathogens in the sputum.
