Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a sputum collection device after tracheotomy. Background Art
[0002] Tracheotomy is a surgical procedure that improves respiratory function by cutting the cervical trachea and inserting a tracheostomy tube. This surgery is mainly suitable for situations such as dyspnea, obstruction of lower respiratory tract secretions, and preventive tracheotomy. However, after tracheotomy, sputum often sprays out of the tracheostomy tube. Traditional sputum collection devices often need to replace the suction surface used for sputum collection in time when collecting sputum. Sputum adheres to the surface of the suction surface and is difficult to clean. The sputum adhered to the suction surface can also easily infect the patient's respiratory tract after evaporation.

The diluent tank 5 is connected to the tracheostomy tube 9. The liquid transfer tube 19 and the infusion tube enter the seepage plate 13, and the seepage plate 13 dilutes the sputum adsorbed on the surface of the sputum suction surface layer 14 through the seepage hole 16. The diluted sputum falls from the sputum suction surface layer 14 onto the guide plate 15 and is guided into the sputum storage box 11, so that the sputum on the surface of the sputum suction surface layer 14 can be diluted and collected in real time. After the real-time collection of the sputum, the overall cleanliness of the sputum suction surface layer 14 can be ensured, avoiding frequent replacement of the sputum suction surface layer 14, and preventing sputum from being atomized and entering the patient's trachea again, which greatly increases the convenience and sputum collection efficiency of the sputum collection device.
