Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary devices, specifically to an arm fixation and protection device for hemodialysis. Background Technology
[0002] Hemodialysis involves creating a dialysis pathway in a blood vessel to draw blood out of the body, filter out toxins and water using a dialysis machine, and then return the blood to the body through the pathway. The hemodialysis pathway is the necessary connection between the patient's blood vessels and the dialysis machine. Currently, there are roughly three types: autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF), artificial arteriovenous fistula (AVG), and central venous catheter (CVC). AVF and AVG create a fistula in a superficial blood vessel in the patient's arm and connect it to the dialysis machine via a dialysis catheter. Therefore, it is crucial to immobilize and protect the patient's arm and catheter during dialysis to prevent arm movement or pressure from foreign objects that could affect dialysis effectiveness. While some devices exist to restrict arm movement or prevent catheter compression during dialysis, most are complex. Some require nursing assistance, such as clamping or binding the arm, which the patient cannot easily adjust independently. Others, with the arm bound or otherwise immobilized, prevent simple movements, thus affecting the ease of operation and patient comfort. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the arm fixation and protection device for hemodialysis. If it can be made simple to operate, allowing patients to clamp their arms and adjust the tightness independently, and also allowing them to slightly change their posture and perform simple movements after clamping, the convenience of operation and the patient's comfort will be improved. This is the problem to be solved in this case. Utility Model Content
