Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protective sleeves, and in particular to a protective sleeve for an ultrasonic probe containing an ultrasonic coupling agent. Background Technology
[0002] Ultrasound examination is a medical imaging technology that uses high-frequency sound waves (2-18MHz) to generate real-time images of the human body's interior. It involves a probe emitting sound waves and receiving reflected signals, which are then processed by a computer to form an image. It is non-invasive, radiation-free, and provides real-time dynamic imaging, making it widely used for disease screening, diagnosis, and monitoring.
[0003] During ultrasound examinations, applying coupling gel between the skin and the ultrasound probe can improve the accuracy of the examination. However, for aseptic procedures, the ultrasound probe and its cable need to be wrapped, and applying coupling gel directly to the skin is not suitable in such scenarios. Furthermore, most existing protective sleeves are either incompatible with or inconvenient for using coupling gel. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model discloses an ultrasonic probe protective sleeve containing ultrasonic coupling agent, comprising a thin film folded in half at the middle, with the lower part and sides fixedly connected to form a welded seal. A sealing film is provided at the lower part of the thin film, the edge of which is welded to the thin film, and a coupling agent storage area is formed below the thin film, with coupling agent disposed inside the storage area. In conventional ultrasonic examinations, the conventional approach is to apply coupling agent to the skin, and then the ultrasonic probe directly contacts the skin. However, in aseptic operations, it is necessary to wrap the ultrasonic probe and the cable at the tail end. Furthermore, this scenario is not suitable for directly applying coupling agent to the skin. Existing ultrasonic probe protective sleeves are not easy to apply coupling agent during sleeve use. In this solution, coupling agent is placed at the bottom of the thin film, improving the accuracy of ultrasonic detection.
[0005] A strap is inserted at the top of the film. The top of the film is tied to the cable using the strap.
[0006] Preferably, the sealing film is horizontally fused onto the thin film, and an adhesive strip is provided at the lower part of the thin film, with the coupling agent storage area folded upward and adhered to the adhesive strip.
[0007] Preferably, the sealing film is semi-circular and is located at the lower center of the film. After the film is folded in half, the coupling agent storage area formed is located in a quarter circle.
[0008] Preferably, the film is made of polyethylene, and the sealing film is made of low-density polyethylene. Polyethylene has a higher strength than low-density polyethylene; when the coupling agent storage area is pressed, the sealing film is damaged first, releasing the coupling agent and wetting the ultrasonic probe.
[0009] Preferably, the strap includes a strap body, one end of which is fused to a film, and the other end of which is provided with an adhesive layer. Release paper is disposed on the surface of the adhesive layer. The strap body is pulled and wound, and finally the release paper is peeled off, allowing the strap to adhere and secure itself through the adhesive layer.
[0010] Preferably, the width of the folded film is 10cm to 20cm, and the length of the film is 180cm to 240cm. A longer film is beneficial for completely wrapping the cable.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. A coupling agent storage area is provided at the bottom of the protective sleeve. When the ultrasonic probe is in use, after the protective sleeve is put on, the coupling agent storage area is located on one side of the ultrasonic probe. By squeezing the coupling agent storage area, the sealing film is broken to release the coupling agent, which wets the ultrasonic probe and improves the accuracy of the inspection.
[0012] 2. It is equipped with straps that ensure the protective cover is securely fastened and prevented from falling off. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that the terms "front", "rear", "left", "right", "up" and "down" used in the following description refer to the directions in the accompanying drawings, and the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.
[0016] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an ultrasonic probe protective sleeve containing ultrasonic coupling agent includes a thin film 1. The thin film 1 is folded in half in the middle, and the lower part and the side are fixedly connected to form a welded sealing edge 5, thus forming a bag shape as a protective sleeve for the ultrasonic probe. A sealing film 2 is provided at the lower part of the thin film 1. The edge of the sealing film 2 is welded to the thin film 1, and a coupling agent storage area 4 is formed below the thin film 1. Coupling agent is provided inside the coupling agent storage area 4. When the protective sleeve is used, the ultrasonic probe is inserted into it, with the ultrasonic probe located on one side of the coupling agent storage area 4. Then, the coupling agent storage area 4 is pressed to break the sealing film 2, allowing the coupling agent to wet the ultrasonic probe.
[0017] A strap 3 is inserted into the upper part of the membrane 1. After the protective sleeve covers the ultrasonic probe, the cable at the rear end of the probe is also wrapped and then fixed by the strap 3.
[0018] The sealing membrane 2 is horizontally fused to the membrane 1. An adhesive strip 6 is provided at the lower part of the membrane 1, and the coupling agent storage area 4 is folded upward and adhered to the adhesive strip 6. When the sealing membrane 2 is horizontally set, the lower part of the membrane 1 and the sealing membrane 2 are fused together first, then the coupling agent is injected into the coupling agent storage area 4 from one side of the membrane 1, and finally the side wall of the membrane 1 is fused together.
[0019] The sealing film 2 is semi-circular and located at the lower center of the film 1. After the film 1 is folded in half, the resulting coupling agent storage area 4 is located within a quarter circle. When injecting coupling agent into this type of coupling agent storage area 4, the film 1 is first folded in half, then the sealing film 2 is fused together. The coupling agent is injected into the coupling agent storage area 4 from the bottom opening, and finally the lower part of the film 1 is fused together. Both of these forms of coupling agent storage area 4 meet the requirements for coupling agent use.
[0020] Film 1 is made of polyethylene, and sealing film 2 is made of low-density polyethylene.
[0021] The strap 3 includes a strap body 31, one end of which is fused to the film 1, and the other end of which is provided with an adhesive layer 32. The surface of the adhesive layer 32 is provided with release paper 33. Pulling the strap body 31 allows the protective sleeve to adhere to the cable. Then the strap body 31 is wound around the cable, and then the release paper 33 is peeled off and the cable is bonded and fixed by the adhesive layer 32.
[0022] The width of the folded film 1 is 10cm to 20cm, and the length of the film 1 is 180cm to 240cm. This size setting meets the protection requirements for the use of ultrasonic probes.
[0023] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to the technical means disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features.
