Sterile protection with light guides for a medical probe and related execution method
The protection (1) has a rectangular thin latex cap (2) suitably shaped, so as to completely protect a medical probe during utilization. Optical fibers (3) i.e. emission and reception optical fibers, are included in the cap, and comprise an optical coupling unit formed of optical connection ring (4)...

Zusammenfassung: | The protection (1) has a rectangular thin latex cap (2) suitably shaped, so as to completely protect a medical probe during utilization. Optical fibers (3) i.e. emission and reception optical fibers, are included in the cap, and comprise an optical coupling unit formed of optical connection ring (4) and ferrules (5) at free end of the cap. The fibers are arranged to deliver light to or receive light from a measurement region of the probe. The coupling unit optically connects the fibers to a light source e.g. pulsed titanium-sapphire laser, or light detector. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) an analysis or diagnostic bench comprising a medical probe protected by flexible sterile protection (2) a method for producing a sterile protection. |
