Description

  The present invention relates to a high slip cable used as a medical cable or the like.

  For example, a jacket made of silicone rubber is employed in a medical cable represented by a probe cable for connecting a main body of an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus and a probe and an endoscope cable used in a surgical operation or the like. .

  Since silicone rubber is a biocompatible material, a medical cable that can be suitably applied to surgical use, gynecological use, and the like can be realized by employing a jacket made of silicone rubber.

  In addition, since silicone rubber has high water and oil repellency and antifouling properties, by employing a jacket made of silicone rubber, even if blood or other dirt adheres to the jacket, it can be easily wiped off.

  In addition, since silicone rubber has high chemical resistance and heat resistance to alcohol and other disinfecting liquids, and there is almost no deterioration even after sterilization such as plasma sterilization or autoclave sterilization, disinfection and sterilization are frequently performed. Ideal for medical applications to be performed.

  However, because silicone rubber has a sticky surface, medical cables that use silicone rubber jackets are easy to get entangled during use and storage, so they are easy to operate and store. I have a problem of being bad.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a highly slippery cable that can reduce the catch of a cable having a sticky surface and can improve operability and storage.

  In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a highly slippery cable comprising a cable having a jacket made of a rubber-based material as an outermost layer, and a stretchable mesh member coated around the cable. It is.

  The stretchable net member is preferably made of silicone rubber elastic fiber, urethane rubber elastic fiber, or nylon elastic fiber.

  The stretchable net member is preferably covered around the cable in an extended state.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the highly slippery cable which can reduce the catch of the cable which has stickiness on the surface, and can improve operativity and storage property can be provided.

It is a perspective view which shows the high slip cable which concerns on this invention.

  DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a highly slippery cable 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a cable 101 having a jacket made of a rubber-based material as an outermost layer, and a stretchable net-like shape coated around the cable 101. Member 102.

  The cable 101 is made of a material having a sticky surface, that is, a medical cable using a jacket 103 made of a rubber-based material such as silicone rubber or urethane rubber. At this time, since the catch is strong and easily entangled, operability and stowability are poor.

  For example, the cable 101 includes an inner conductor 105 formed by twisting a plurality of strands 104, an insulator 106 provided around the inner conductor 105, and a plurality of strands 104 wound around the insulator 106. And an outer conductor 107 and a jacket 103 provided around the outer conductor 107.

  The stretchable net-like member 102 is preferably made of elastic fiber having high stretchability such as silicone rubber elastic fiber, urethane rubber elastic fiber, or nylon elastic fiber. Thereby, even if the stretchable net-like member 102 is covered around the cable 101, the flexibility and flexibility of the cable 101 are not easily lost. Here, specific examples of the urethane rubber elastic fiber include Roika (registered trademark) manufactured by Asahi Kasei Fibers Co., Ltd. and Lycra (registered trademark) manufactured by Toray Operontex Co., Ltd.

  The stretchable net member 102 is preferably covered around the cable 101 in an extended state. As a result, when the elastic mesh member 102 is covered around the cable 101, the elastic mesh member 102 is securely fixed around the cable 101 with a force of contraction. It is possible to suppress the formation of wrinkles or the like on the surface of the highly slippery cable 100 due to the sliding of the mesh member 102 or the like.

  When the stretchable mesh member 102 deteriorates due to long-term use or the like, the old stretchable mesh member 102 is peeled off, and then the new stretchable mesh member 102 is covered again so that the highly slippery cable 100 is removed. The slipperiness can be restored.

  Further, from the viewpoint of imparting lubricity to the cable 101, the size of the mesh in the stretchable mesh member 102 is high when these cables or a human hand touch the high slip cable 100. It is desirable to design the contact area with the slippery cable 100 to be as small as possible.

  As described so far, according to the high slip cable 100 according to the present embodiment, since the stretchable mesh member 102 is covered around the cable 101, the surface of the high slip cable 100 is fine. Concavities and convexities are formed, and the area of contact with other cables and human hands can be reduced as compared with the case where the cable 101 is used alone. It becomes possible to do.

  Therefore, even if a jacket made of a rubber-based material with a sticky surface is used in the cable 101, the cable 101 is covered with the stretchable mesh member 102, so that the cable 101 can be used during handling and storage. The catching can be reduced, and the operability and stowability of the cable 101 can be improved.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  For example, the stretchable net-like member 102 may be provided not only on the entire cable 101 but only on a portion where the operator of the cable 101 touches.
