Medical sharps cover

Abstract

This utility model discloses a medical sharps protector, belonging to the field of medical device protectors. It includes two protective cover bodies, both hollow in structure, with a flexible telescopic joint fixedly connected between them. The inner wall of each cover body has several evenly distributed inner protrusions, and the outer wall has several evenly distributed outer protrusions. An axially visible radiopaque line is provided within the cover body. This utility model has a simple structure; the external protrusions prevent rolling, and the adjacent inner protrusions form grooves for good air permeability, making it suitable for sterilization methods such as steam, ethylene oxide, and plasma.

The flexible telescopic joint also allows for the use of various specially curved sharps, better protecting them and preventing injuries to staff.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device protective sleeves, and more specifically, relates to medical sharps protective sleeves. Background Technology

[0002] With the emergence and replacement of various new disposable sterilization packaging materials in hospitals, the protection of sharp instruments during packaging, sterilization, transportation, and use has always been a challenge for sterilization personnel. Currently, after cleaning, sharp instruments are usually packaged and sterilized using paper-plastic, non-woven fabric, or crepe paper for later use. However, this often results in punctured packaging, damaged instrument tips, contamination of instruments, and injuries to staff. While there are protective sleeves made of silicone, these are typically cylindrical, prone to rolling, and lack stability. They are also inconvenient for protecting particularly curved sharp instruments. If the sleeve is accidentally left inside the body during surgery, it is difficult to locate and remove because silicone has a density similar to human muscle tissue and does not show up well under X-rays due to its similarity to muscle tissue density.

[0004] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a medical sharps protector is provided, comprising two protector bodies, both of which are hollow structures, and a flexible telescopic joint is fixedly connected between the two protector bodies. The inner wall of each protector body is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed inner protrusions, and the outer wall of each protector body is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed outer protrusions. An imaging line is provided along the axial direction inside each protector body.

[0005] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the medical sharps protector has several through holes on the telescopic joint to facilitate sterilization and drying.

[0006] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the medical sharps protector sleeve is made of medical or food-grade PP material.

[0007] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the medical sharps protector has an annular groove at one end of the two protector bodies near the telescopic joint, and both ends of the telescopic joint can be inserted into the annular groove and fixedly connected by glue.

[0008] According to the medical sharps protector according to the first aspect of the present invention, the imaging line is also disposed on the telescopic joint.

[0009] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the direction of the inner protrusion and the outer protrusion of the medical sharps cover is consistent with the axial direction of the cover body.

[0010] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the medical sharps protector is made of medical or food-grade silicone.

[0011] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the medical sharps protector is integrally formed with the protector body, the inner protrusion and the outer protrusion.
