Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a gastric tube fixing device and a component. Background Art
[0002] Patients with swallowing dysfunction will use gastric tube feeding for a long time during the treatment process. The existing technology often uses adhesive tape to fix the gastric tube. This fixation method often sticks adhesive tape on the patient's face, which greatly affects the appearance and easily causes allergies in people who are prone to allergies. In addition, the long-term compression of the patient's skin by the gastric tube is likely to cause pressure sores in the compressed area.
[0003] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a gastric tube fixing device and assembly to prevent pressure sores and avoid the occurrence of allergic reactions.
[0004] In addition, on the one hand, there are differences in understanding among those skilled in the art; on the other hand, the applicant studied a large number of documents and patents when making the present invention, but due to space limitations, not all details and contents are listed in detail. However, this does not mean that the present invention does not have the characteristics of these prior arts. On the contrary, the present invention already has all the characteristics of the prior art, and the applicant reserves the right to add relevant prior art to the background technology.

The isolation layer and the contact layer are respectively located on both sides of the buffer layer. The isolation layer and the contact layer are bent in the same direction so that a cavity for accommodating the buffer layer is formed between the isolation layer and the contact layer. The isolation layer forms a groove for accommodating the gastric tube on the side that is not in contact with the buffer layer. The contact layer forms a protrusion that fits the external ear of the human body on the side that is not in contact with the buffer layer. The buffer layer is configured to change the distance between the isolation layer and the contact layer by absorbing solution and swelling when the gastric tube is fixed. The buffer layer is made of a hydrophilic polymer material.
[0006] Preferably, when the groove is connected to the gastric tube, the contact layer adapted to the human external ear provided in the present invention can surround the auricle of the human external ear, so that the ear-hook type gastric tube fixing device is constrained by the human external ear when being pulled by the gastric tube, thereby fixing the gastric tube.

The ear-hook body 111 includes an isolation layer 101, a buffer layer 102 and a contact layer 103. The isolation layer 101 and the contact layer 103 are respectively located on both sides of the buffer layer 102. The isolation layer 101 and the contact layer 103 are bent in the same direction, so that a cavity for accommodating the buffer layer 102 is formed between the isolation layer 101 and the contact layer 103. The isolation layer 101 forms a groove 113 for accommodating the gastric tube 120 on the side not in contact with the buffer layer 102. The contact layer 103 forms a protrusion adapted to the external ear on the side not in contact with the buffer layer 102. The buffer layer 102 is configured to change the distance between the isolation layer 101 and the contact layer 103 by absorbing the solution and swelling when the gastric tube is fixed.

Preferably, the clamp-type gastric tube fixing device 130 is provided with an isolation layer 101, a buffer layer 102 and a contact layer 103 in sequence on the clamp body 131 on the side close to the human body.
[0054] Preferably, the clamping type stomach tube fixing device 130 in this embodiment may be the clamping type stomach tube fixing device 130 in Example 2.
[0055] The isolation layer 101 is made of polyurethane material. The buffer layer 102 is configured to change the distance between the isolation layer 101 and the contact layer 103 by absorbing the solution to swell when the gastric tube is fixed. The buffer layer 102 is made of a hydrophilic polymer material. The hydrophilic polymer material of the buffer layer 102 is a mixture of one or both of a natural hydrophilic polymer material and a synthetic hydrophilic polymer material. The hydrophilic polymer material can form a hydrogel in the buffer layer 102 by contacting the solution. Preferably, the hydrophilic polymer material can be a natural hydrophilic polymer material or a synthetic hydrophilic polymer material, or a mixture of a natural hydrophilic polymer material and a synthetic hydrophilic polymer material. The contact layer 103 is provided with through holes in such a way that the water in the hydrogel diffuses to the outside through the contact layer 103 when the buffer layer 102 forms a hydrogel. Preferably, the contact layer 103 is provided with a plurality of through holes. Preferably, the plurality of through holes are evenly distributed on the contact layer 103. Preferably, when the buffer layer 102 is not in contact with the solution to form a hydrogel, the user can immerse the ear-hanging gastric tube fixing device 110 and / or the clamping gastric tube fixing device 130 in the solution so that the solution enters the buffer layer 102 through the through holes provided in the contact layer 103, thereby allowing the solution to contact the hydrophilic polymer material in the buffer layer 102 to form a hydrogel.
[0056] When in contact with a solution, especially an aqueous solution, the buffer layer 102 can form a hydrogel. Preferably, the hydrogel formed by the buffer layer 102 is sufficient to disperse and buffer the pressure applied to the patient's skin by the ear-hook gastric tube fixing device 110 and / or the clamping gastric tube fixing device 130, reduce friction and shear force, and thus reduce the risk of pressure sores. Preferably, the thickness of the hydrogel formed by the buffer layer 102 increases, which increases the distance between the gastric tube 120 and the patient's skin, and can reduce the possibility of allergic reactions. In the case of the hydrogel formed by the buffer layer 102, the isolation layer 101 can slow down the volatilization of water in the hydrogel, thereby extending the single use time of the ear-hook gastric tube fixing device 110 and / or the clamping gastric tube fixing device 130. Preferably, during the use of the ear-hook gastric tube fixing device 110 and / or the clamping gastric tube fixing device 130, the isolation layer 101 can also prevent foreign substances from entering the buffer layer 102 and contaminating the hydrogel. Preferably, for patients who are prone to allergic reactions, when using the ear-hook type gastric tube fixing device 110 and / or the clamp type gastric tube fixing device 130, medical personnel can add dissolved anti-allergic drugs to the buffer layer 102, and the buffer layer 102 diffuses the dissolved anti-allergic drugs to the patient's skin, thereby preventing the patient from having an allergic reaction. Preferably, since the diffusion of water in the hydrogel is a slow and continuous process, the buffer layer 102 can achieve continuous drug administration.
[0057] A preferred embodiment is provided. In this embodiment, the fixing device further includes a variable connection cavity, and at least a part of the side wall of the variable connection cavity is surrounded and wrapped by the fixture body 131. The variable connection cavity is constructed as a structure that can at least change its chamber volume. A typical example is a spherical or olive-shaped chamber structure constructed of elastic material. The variable connection cavity has at least two opening channels connected to its internal cavity, and the two opening channels are respectively coupled to the upstream and downstream ports of the pipeline to form a pipeline path for circulation. When the inside of the variable connection cavity is in an empty state, that is, when the variable connection cavity is in a natural elastic state, the volume of the variable connection cavity at this time is called the first volume; when the variable connection cavity is filled with a filler of a volume that meets the first volume and continues to be filled so that the variable connection cavity itself is deformed to expand to a volume greater than the first volume, the parameter greater than the first volume is called the second volume. It can be understood that when the variable connection cavity is in the second volume, its external volume increases, that is, it expands. In this case, the two open channels of the variable connection chamber are divided into an upstream channel and a downstream channel according to the position of the coupled pipes in the streamline, wherein the downstream channel is constructed to be at least able to be opened when the variable connection chamber is filled with fillers and changed from the first volume to the second volume so that the fillers can be discharged through the downstream channel so that the variable connection chamber is deformed from the second volume to the first volume. According to the use scenario of the present device, the filler is usually a substance with fluid properties, such as a nutrient solution for feeding patients, etc. The above-mentioned scheme of selectively opening the downstream channel under certain conditions can be realized based on the association between the changing pressure generated by the variable connection chamber at the interface of the downstream channel and the opening pressure selected when the downstream channel is constructed. A typical example is that the downstream channel is configured as a valve that can be automatically opened based on a certain pressure, such as a duckbill valve, and the opening pressure of the downstream channel is configured to be at least greater than the pressure generated at the interface of the downstream channel when the first volume of the variable connection chamber is filled. Furthermore, the downstream channel can also be configured as a structure that can be closed slowly, for example, some valve structures with prefabricated stress are selected, so that after the downstream channel is opened, the variable connection chamber can slowly reduce from the second volume to the first volume. When the variable connection chamber is in the second volume, the first pressure of the variable connection chamber in contact with the skin increases, so that the contact layer 103 reduces its own second pressure on the patient's skin due to the variable connection chamber sinking deeper into the patient's skin.
[0058] The clamping type gastric tube fixing device 130 set up as above can realize the use of certain events that regularly occur in the patient's life that use the drainage tube to regularly massage the part of the tube clamp that contacts the patient's skin with pressure changes, so as to prevent and treat the patient's pressure sores without introducing any other external power source. For example, when the medical staff injects nutrient solution into the patient's gastric tube, the variable connecting cavity is filled with the filler and the volume increases. The setting of the downstream channel ensures that the variable connecting cavity can expand to make its pressure on the patient's skin have a significant change. This significant change indicates that the variable connecting cavity changes from only slightly contacting the patient's skin to pressing the patient's skin. In this case, due to the different flow rates and flow rates of the filler entering the variable connecting cavity, the downstream channel set up at the same time enables the variable connecting cavity to slowly reduce the volume, so that the pressure on the patient's skin at the contact part with the variable connecting cavity and the center of gravity of the clamping type gastric tube fixing device 130 are constantly changing, thereby forming a massage effect. The above scheme does not introduce any external power source, but only relies on the filler passing through the pipe connected to the patient as power. As a recycling of the necessary materials involved in the process, this scheme actually achieves the effect of simple structure, lightweight, and almost zero energy consumption. However, it should be noted that the additional power equipment set up to achieve variable pressure at the tube clamp, such as motors, inflatable equipment, etc., will further increase the pressure of the tube clamp on the patient's skin, which may be counterproductive. However, this scheme achieves the prevention and treatment of patient pressure sores on the basis of minimal and simple addition, and the cost can also be better guaranteed.
