Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a multifunctional cup, in particular to a multifunctional cup for patients taking oral nutritional supplements. Background Art

[0002] Oral Nutritional Supplements (ONS) refers to the oral intake of special medical formula foods in addition to normal food to supplement the daily diet. ONS is an indispensable step in the five-step model of nutritional intervention for malnourished patients. Due to its wide range of applications, simple and easy operation, and more in line with physiological characteristics, it has become an important treatment for correcting malnutrition.

[0003] A large number of clinical studies have confirmed that ONS is an effective, non-invasive solution to malnutrition for patients who can consume some common foods but whose intake is insufficient to meet all nutritional needs. It is also applicable to a wide range of people, including various hospitalized patients with malnutrition or nutritional risks, patients with low energy and protein intake, some patients with chronic diseases, patients who need a high-energy diet, patients with chewing and swallowing disorders, weak or anorectic elderly people, and some patients with malignant tumors undergoing surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy, etc.

[0004] Common ONS preparations include enteral nutrition preparations or special medical purpose (formulated) foods. However, not all dietary supplements or nutritional drinks can be called oral nutritional supplements. ONS aims to increase oral nutritional intake. It adds liquid, semi-solid or powdered preparations that can provide a variety of macronutrients and micronutrients to drinks or foods for oral consumption. It has many advantages such as balanced nutrition and scientific formula.

[0005] In clinical nursing practice and in guiding patients’ actual operation, we found that there are two main incorrect ways to prepare powder preparations of oral nutritional supplements. One is inappropriate concentration and the other is incorrect water temperature. This leads to agglomeration during the preparation process. If the agglomerated preparations are continued to be taken, it is easy to cause indigestion or intolerance in patients. The main reasons are analyzed as follows:

[0006] First, the method of preparing powdered nutrient powder is incorrect. When preparing powder, you should first put the required amount of water, and then gently put in the nutrient powder. After putting in the nutrient powder, you should use a spoon or stirring stick to gently stir it. If you put the nutrient powder first and then the water, it is easier to clump.

[0007] Second, the nutritional powder may get damp or deteriorate during storage. The nutritional powder that gets damp will clump more easily when it is prepared.

[0008] Third, the water temperature for preparing the nutrient powder is too high or too low. Generally, the water temperature for preparing the nutrient powder should be controlled at around 40°C. If it is too high or too low, it will cause lumps.

[0009] Fourth, the proportion required by the instructions was not correctly prepared, resulting in too high or too low concentration. The reason may be that the instructions were not read carefully, there was no good operation compliance, or there was no appropriate auxiliary tool to help. As a result, the patient was more casual in the operation.

[0010] Fifth, oral nutritional preparations should be prepared as needed, that is, as much as you drink, and taken immediately after preparation. The most suitable temperature for taking should be controlled at 35-38℃, which can effectively avoid irritation to the gastrointestinal tract and prevent diarrhea.

[0011] It should be noted that regarding the storage of prepared oral nutritional preparations, it is recommended to store them at room temperature for no more than 4 hours and refrigerate them for no more than 24 hours to avoid contamination and deterioration.

[0012] In summary, the correct configuration and storage of oral nutritional preparations are closely related to the patient's clinical treatment efficacy, whether nutritional support is tolerated, and whether nutrition-related complications occur. Auxiliary devices or special accessories are needed to avoid the occurrence of the above events in order to better play the nutritional support role of ONS. Utility Model Content

[0013] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional cup for oral nutritional supplement patients in order to overcome at least one of the defects of the above-mentioned prior art. Oral nutritional supplements have been widely used in various types of hospitalized patients, postoperative rehabilitation patients and chronic patients with malnutrition or nutritional risks. However, in clinical practice, the designer found that patients would encounter some obstacles and inconveniences in the configuration, taking and storage of oral nutritional preparations, which affected the efficacy of oral nutritional support. Specifically, during the configuration of oral nutritional preparations, it is necessary to ensure ① accurate water volume; ② accurate water temperature and ③ sufficient stirring to avoid agglomeration of the configured oral nutritional solution, or the concentration of the configured oral nutritional preparation is too low or too high, which cannot reach the nutritional target value required by the body or cause indigestion, digestive intolerance, etc. During the oral nutritional preparation, the temperature needs to be kept at 35-38 ° C, which can effectively avoid irritation to the gastrointestinal tract and prevent diarrhea. The prepared oral nutritional solution should be used immediately or stored at room temperature for no more than 4 hours, and refrigerated for no more than 24 hours to avoid contamination and deterioration. In order to help better implement oral nutritional supplements and maximize the role of oral nutritional support, the applicant has designed a multifunctional cup for oral nutritional supplement patients. The multifunctional cup can be used not only for various inpatients with malnutrition or nutritional risks in medical institutions at all levels, but also for patients with chronic diseases in nursing homes, rehabilitation institutions and homes, patients who need high-energy diets, patients with chewing and swallowing disorders, weak or anorectic elderly people, some patients with malignant tumors who undergo surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy, etc. The designer's research and development of the multifunctional cup for oral nutritional supplementation patients solves various problems that may arise in the configuration of oral nutritional preparations, and eliminates the phenomenon of nutrient solution agglomeration, too low or too high concentration caused by human factors.

[0014] In addition, due to the influence of various uncontrollable factors such as diseases, some oral nutritional support patients cannot drink the prepared nutrient solution at one time, and it will be wasted if it is discarded, so it will be taken multiple times. Therefore, the constant temperature and storage problems of the nutrient solution must be solved to facilitate patients to take it correctly at any time and store it scientifically and safely. Studies have found that the optimal taking temperature of oral nutritional preparations should be controlled at 35-38°C, which can effectively avoid irritation to the gastrointestinal tract and prevent diarrhea. The prepared oral nutrient solution should be used immediately or stored at room temperature for no more than 4 hours, and refrigerated for no more than 24 hours to avoid contamination and deterioration. Based on the above, the multifunctional cup is designed with an intelligent constant temperature function to keep the prepared nutrient solution at a constant temperature of about 38°C, so that patients can take it as needed at any time. The utility model also specially designs a timer function to ensure that the storage time of the nutrient solution at room temperature does not exceed 4 hours and the refrigerated time does not exceed 24 hours, ensuring the scientific and standardized management of the nutrient solution.

[0015] What is more worth mentioning is that this multifunctional cup can not only help people with malnutrition or malnutrition risk to achieve better nutritional support, but also truly improve clinical efficacy and patient experience. It can also take into account the particularity of the patient group and carry out scientific and humanized design in the cup structure.
