Description

An ultrasonic couplant device with inductive supply and heating function

technical field

The utility model relates to the technical field, in particular to an ultrasonic couplant device with inductive supply and heating function.

Background technique

Ultrasound technology is the most widely used non-invasive detection method in the field of imaging. Involving multiple departments and multiple organs (abdominal ultrasound, vascular ultrasound, pediatric ultrasound, gynecological ultrasound, etc.), it is the preferred method for clinical non-invasive, repeated evaluation and screening of the structure and function of various organs.

Among them, echocardiography (heart ultrasound) examination can not only detect the shape of the heart structure, but also can intuitively and visually display the hemodynamic changes, which is of great value in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases.

All ultrasonic inspection items need to use coupling agent - a water-soluble polymer colloid, which can be applied to the surface of human skin to eliminate the air between the probe and the measured object, so that the ultrasonic wave can effectively penetrate the measured object and thus achieve the detection purpose.

However, in the prior art, there are the following defects and deficiencies in the process of applying the coupling agent to the ultrasonic probe by medical personnel.

1. Echocardiography is of great value in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. All ultrasonic inspection items need to use couplant to achieve effective detection purposes. In the process of echocardiography for each patient, the sonographer needs to repeatedly apply the coupling agent to the probe. For each patient, the doctor needs to repeatedly apply the coupling agent to the probe for 2-5 times. Doing work will waste the patient's time for seeing a doctor; in view of the specific medical situation in China, there are extremely many cases of ultrasound examination. In our hospital alone, there are more than 100,000 cases of echocardiographic examinations every year, and nearly 500 cases are examined every day. The use efficiency of ultrasonic coupling agents is closely related to clinical work. The existing method of using ultrasonic couplant requires doctors to apply it manually. The couplant reserve bottle is not only primitive and simple in appearance, but also does not match the advanced echocardiography machine. This not only increases the workload of doctors, but also consumes precious time for patients time.

2. At the same time, when the ambient temperature is low, the cold couplant will cause strong cold stimulation to the human body, which may cause discomfort, and even cause damage to infants with higher body surface temperature. In cold winter, the couplant will freeze into blocks, which brings inconvenience to clinical work. Studies have shown that the couplant heated to 30°-35° feels comfortable when applied to the body surface. Currently, the use of couplant warmers is limited to pediatric ultrasound and is not commonly used in adult ultrasound programs.

Chinese patent document CN201520283133.4, application date 2015.05.05, patent name: A medical ultrasonic couplant device, provides a medical ultrasonic couplant device, which belongs to the technical field of medical appliances.
