IV bag holder

Abstract

An IV bag clamp includes two clamping blocks for clamping the connecting tube of the IV bag, and a connector connecting the clamping blocks. Each clamping block has a downward-facing recessed groove on its clamping side and an upper baffle defining the top edge of the groove. When the clamping blocks are moved to the clamping position via the connector, the connecting tube is positioned by the groove, and the upper baffle abuts against the top of the connecting tube. This structural design, where the upper baffle abuts against the top of the connecting tube when the clamping blocks are in the clamping position, prevents the connecting tube from slipping during needle puncture of the IV line, thus improving stability during needle puncture of the IV bag and reducing the risk of puncture.

Claims

1. An IV bag clamp, suitable for clamping an IV bag, the IV bag having a bag body and a connecting tube disposed at the bottom of the bag body, the connecting tube having a fixed end extending upward and fixed in the bag body, and an exposed end exposed below the bag body, the IV bag clamp comprising two clamping blocks for cooperating and laterally clamping outside the connecting tube, and an elastic connecting member connecting the clamping blocks to allow them to swing relative to each other, wherein: Each clamping block includes a block portion with a recessed, downward-facing groove on one of the clamping sides of the other clamping block. Each block portion has an upper baffle that defines the top edge of the corresponding groove. The clamping blocks can be operated to swing between a relatively far apart separated position and a mutually close clamping position via the connector. When the clamping blocks are in the clamping position, they can engage with the grooves to position the connecting pipe, and the upper baffles can abut against the top of the fixed end.

2. The IV bag holder as described in claim 1, wherein the IV bag further comprises two opposing wing portions protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the exposed end, wherein, Each of the clamping blocks also includes a lug protruding from the bottom end of the block body. When the clamping blocks are in the clamping position, the lugs can be used to clamp one of the wing portions towards each other.

3. The IV bag holder as described in claim 2 further includes a snap-fit ​​module having a first snap-fit ​​structure and a second snap-fit ​​structure respectively disposed on the clamping blocks, the first snap-fit ​​structure and the second snap-fit ​​structure being detachably snap-fitted to each other to position the clamping blocks in the clamping position.

4. The IV bag holder as described in claim 3, wherein, Each of the clamping blocks has a protruding lug on the side of the bottom edge of the corresponding block body that is relatively far away from the connector. The first fastening structure and the second fastening structure are respectively provided on the protruding lugs. The first fastening structure is a groove recessed in the corresponding protruding lug. The second fastening structure is a hook that protrudes outward from the corresponding protruding lug to the other protruding lug and is used to detachably and elastically hook into the first fastening structure.

5. The IV bag holder as described in claim 1 or 2, wherein, The connector has two spring arm segments that extend laterally outward from the block portions, and a C-shaped connecting segment whose two ends are respectively connected to the extended ends of the spring arm segments and can be elastically deformed.

6. The IV bag holder as described in claim 1 or 2, wherein, Each clamping block also has multiple protruding ribs that extend from the block body into the corresponding groove. When the clamping blocks are in the clamping position, the protruding ribs will engage to clamp the connecting pipe.

7. The IV bag holder as described in claim 6, wherein, The ribs of each clamping block extend vertically and are arranged laterally along the corresponding groove edge.

8. The IV bag holder as described in claim 1 or 2, wherein, Each of the blocks also has an operating side facing away from the clamping side and having a transversely concave shape.

9. The IV bag holder as described in claim 8, wherein, Each of the clamps also has a directional indicator mark located on the operating side and shaped like an upward arrow.

10. The IV bag holder as described in claim 9, wherein, Each of the directional indicator marks is recessed into the corresponding operating side.

11. The IV bag holder as described in claim 8, wherein, Each of the clamps also has multiple laterally extending and vertically arranged anti-slip ribs protruding from the operating side.
