Bathing sleevelet special for peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) implanted patient

Abstract

The invention discloses a bathing sleevelet special for a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) implanted patient, and belongs to a medical device. The bathing sleevelet is a long conical cylinder with a large upper opening and a small lower opening, and is made of a waterproof transparent elastic material. The edges of the upper and lower openings are respectively provided with a hollow circular tube; a charging connector and an air valve plug connected with the charging connector are arranged outside each hollow circular tube; the inner surface of the long conical cylinder is provided with humidity sensitive red sensing paper along the inner sides of upper and lower hollow circular tubes; the wall thickness of the outer side of each hollow circular tube is greater than that of the inner side of each hollow circular tube; the bathing sleevelet has the length of 20-25 centimeters and is widely applied; and the charging connector is connected with internal taper threads, and the air valve plug is an external taper plug screw matched with the internal taper threads of the charging connector. When the patient has a bath, the bathing sleevelet can well protect the exposed part of the catheter, prevent water from entering related parts and the PICC from falling off, ensure that the catheter is retained safely and prevented from being infected. The bathing sleevelet is convenient to use, and can be widely applied to PICC implanted patients.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical equipment, and more specifically relates to a design innovation of a special bathing sleeve for patients with PICC tubes. Background technique [0002] PICC stands for "Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter". It is a kind of venous catheter indwelling the end of the catheter in the superior vena cava through the basilic vein, median vein, and cephalic vein of the upper limb elbow or upper arm. The catheter can be left in the body for a long time, up to 1 year. PICC is suitable for patients with long-term intravenous administration, application of antibiotics and complete parenteral nutrition, unstable condition that requires medication or measurement of central venous pressure at any time, especially for patients with strong irritating drugs, chemotherapy drugs, and pain control drugs. Intravenous administration. When using PICC, it is very popular among patients and their families because of t...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, due to the long indwelling time of the PICC catheter (7 days to 1 year), the exposed catheter outside the body can reach 4-10 cm, and the infusion connector is connected at the end, and the catheter puncture site and the exposed catheter part are pasted with sterile transparent adhesive tape Fixed, it is very inconvenient for patients to take a bath

Usually, it is only possible to take a shower or take a bath after being wrapped with household plastic wrap. This method of operation is very easy to get water in the bath, which will cause the patch and adhesive tape to not stick firmly after being damp, and cause the PICC catheter to follow the elbow due to loose fixation. Adverse consequences such as catheter prolapse, shedding, or local and golden body infection at the catheter puncture point caused by active bending
