Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, specifically a protective cover for a foot switch of a disposable surgical device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern operating rooms and interventional therapy rooms, many medical devices, such as high-frequency electrosurgical units, ultrasonic scalpels, microscopes, phacoemulsification machines, and holmium lasers, are commonly controlled by foot switches. These foot switches are typically placed directly on the floor and operated by the surgeon using their foot.

[0003] The main problems and shortcomings currently existing include: 1. Risk of cross-infection: Contaminants such as blood, bodily fluids, irrigation fluids, and tissue debris generated during surgery can easily splash, flow, and seep into the gaps and buttons of the foot switch. Due to its complex structure, uneven surface, and gaps, it is difficult to thoroughly disinfect using conventional methods, thus becoming a potential source of cross-infection.

[0004] 2. Equipment damage risk: If conductive or corrosive liquids seep into the foot pedal, it may cause short circuits, corrosion of components, jamming or malfunction of mechanical structures, resulting in damage to expensive medical equipment and increasing hospital maintenance costs.

[0005] 3. Operational safety risks: The surface of the foot switch becomes slippery when contaminated with liquid, which may cause the surgeon to slip when stepping on it, resulting in misoperation or loss of balance, affecting the safety and efficiency of the surgery.

[0006] Currently, some medical staff are attempting to use sterile drapes, plastic bags, or homemade cloth covers for covering, but these temporary solutions have significant drawbacks such as insufficient sealing, easy displacement and detachment, poor foot feel, and interference with operations. Furthermore, the wrapping process consumes the circulating nurse's time, and the results are not ideal. Therefore, there is an urgent clinical need for a disposable protective device specifically designed for foot switches on medical equipment, capable of effectively isolating contaminants, easy to use, and disposable.
