Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical device application technology, specifically relating to an infusion port positioning device and its working method. Background Technology

[0002] A port-a-cath is a closed infusion device that is completely implanted in the human body. It consists of a catheter with its tip located in the superior vena cava and an injection port implanted under the skin. It is a medical device.

[0003] A port-a-cath is a relatively new infusion tubing technology. It is a fully implantable, closed infusion system embedded in the body. The system includes a central venous catheter connected to a device called a puncture port at its end. Using a minor surgical procedure, the catheter is inserted subcutaneously into a major vein, such as the subclavian or superior vena cava. Part of the catheter is embedded in the subcutaneous tissue, while the other end, the puncture port, is left in the subcutaneous tissue of the chest wall and sutured in place. After the surgery, only a small suture wound is visible on the skin. After healing and suture removal, a protruding ball can be felt on the patient's skin. During treatment, the needle is inserted percutaneously and vertically into the reservoir of the puncture port. This allows for convenient injection, long-term continuous infusion, and blood collection. It is also suitable for the infusion of high-concentration chemotherapy drugs, total parenteral nutrition, and blood products.

[0004] The following problems exist when medical staff perform port-a-cath punctures: ① Because port-a-caths are somewhat mobile, the operator needs to use their non-dominant hand to stabilize them, resulting in poor stability. Additionally, due to the small diameter of the port-a-cath, the needle can easily puncture the fingers of medical staff during puncture; ② Medical staff cannot accurately locate the puncture point, and bleeding may occur at the puncture site when the patient is undergoing chemotherapy before the wound has healed, increasing the workload of nurses; ③ Repeated punctures also cause pain to patients and may lead to extravasation of medication.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a port positioning device and its operating method. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Purpose of the invention: The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a positioning device for a port of entry and its working method, thereby solving the problems existing in the use of existing ports of entry in the background art.

[0007] Technical Solution: The first aspect of the present invention provides a positioning device for an infusion port, comprising a fixed part and a movable part. The outer wall of the fixed part is provided with a plurality of positioning plates. A fixed part through groove is provided inside the fixed part. A fixed part groove is provided on one side of the fixed part. A fixed part connecting block is provided on one side of the fixed part groove. A movable part U-shaped groove is provided on one side of the movable part. A movable part connecting block, which cooperates with the fixed part connecting block, is located inside the movable part U-shaped groove. The movable part through groove is provided inside the movable part. A movable part groove is provided on one side of the movable part. A transverse screw hole is symmetrically provided on one side of the movable part. A transverse adjusting screw is provided inside the transverse screw hole. An arc-shaped clamping part is symmetrically provided inside the movable part groove. A transition part is provided on the outer wall of each arc-shaped clamping part. A circular limiting sleeve is provided at one end of each transition part. The transverse adjusting screw is engaged with the circular limiting sleeve.

[0008] In this technical solution, the infusion port positioning device further includes a first adhesive layer disposed on one side of the groove of the fixing part.

[0009] In this technical solution, the infusion port positioning device further includes a second adhesive layer disposed on one side of the U-shaped groove of the movable fixing part.

[0010] In this technical solution, the infusion port positioning device further includes strip-shaped guide grooves symmetrically arranged in one side of the groove of the moving and fixed part, and strip-shaped sliders respectively arranged on the outer wall of one end of the transition part and inserted into the strip-shaped guide grooves.

[0011] In this technical solution, the infusion port positioning device further includes a flexible pad layer disposed on the lower part of the inner wall of the opposite side of the arc-shaped clamping part.

[0012] The positioning device for the infusion port in this technical solution further includes a first horizontal bar and a second horizontal bar disposed on the upper part of the inner wall of the opposite side of the arc-shaped clamping part, a first arc-shaped transition part and a second arc-shaped transition part disposed at one end of the first horizontal bar and the second horizontal bar respectively, and a horizontal hollow limiting sleeve and a horizontal limiting protrusion disposed at both end faces of the first arc-shaped transition part and the second arc-shaped transition part respectively, and used in cooperation with each other.

[0013] In this technical solution, the fixed and movable connecting blocks are respectively configured as circular structures.

[0014] In this technical solution, the diameter of the fixed part is larger than the diameter of the movable part.

[0015] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for operating an infusion port positioning device, comprising the following steps: Step 1, fixing the movable fixing part and the fixed fixing part together via a fixed fixing part connecting block and a movable fixing part connecting block. Step 2, using medical tape to adhere and fix the fixed fixing part to the outer layer of the infusion port location via several positioning pieces. Step 3, placing the arc-shaped clamping part in the through groove of the movable fixing part, and simultaneously rotating the horizontal adjusting screw, so that the horizontal adjusting screw pushes the arc-shaped clamping part to move horizontally relative to the surrounding area through the circular limiting sleeve and the transition part until the flexible padding layer contacts the outer layer of the infusion port location.

[0016] In this technical solution, in step 3, after the flexible padding layer on the inner wall of the arc-shaped clamping part comes into contact with the outer layer of the infusion port, the first arc-shaped transition part at one end of the first crossbar and the second arc-shaped transition part at one end of the second crossbar fit together. In this way, the transverse cavity formed by the first arc-shaped transition part and the second arc-shaped transition part is located directly above the infusion port, thus limiting the infusion needle.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the infusion port positioning device and its working method of the present invention are as follows: 1. The overall structure is a modular design, which is convenient for assembly and use. At the same time, the position of the arc-shaped clamping part is horizontally and stably adjusted by adjusting the horizontal adjusting screw, which makes it easy for nurses to control the insertion of the infusion needle into the infusion port; 2. The fixed part, several positioning plates, fixed part through groove and fixed part groove are made of flexible material and are tightly attached to the outer layer of the infusion port after being glued with medical tape; 3. The fixed part connecting block and the moving part connecting block used in conjunction are easy to assemble and use; 4. The added first horizontal bar, second horizontal bar, first arc-shaped transition part, second arc-shaped transition part, horizontal hollow limiting sleeve and horizontal limiting protrusion form a horizontal limiting cavity when in use, through which nurses can accurately insert the infusion needle; 5. The added flexible pad layer plays an isolation and protection role. When the arc-shaped clamping part is located on the outer layer of the infusion port, it will not cause compression damage to the skin, improving the patient's comfort. Attached Figure Description
