Description

Technical Field

[0001] The patent of this invention relates to the field of medical equipment accessories, specifically a neonatal PICC catheter maintenance and fixation device. Background Art

[0002] In neonatal intensive care and treatment, peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) have become an important venous access method, which can meet the needs of neonatal long-term infusion, nutritional support and drug treatment. However, due to the physiological characteristics of newborns, such as delicate skin and frequent activities, the fixation of PICC catheters has become a challenge. Traditional fixation methods, such as tape sticking or bandage wrapping, often have problems such as unstable fixation, easy to fall off, irritation or damage to the skin. In addition, newborns grow fast, and traditional fixation methods are difficult to adapt to changes in their body shape, which can easily lead to over-tight or over-loose fixation, affecting the stability and safety of the catheter. Therefore, the market urgently needs a PICC catheter maintenance and fixation device designed specifically for newborns to solve the above problems, ensure the stability and safety of PICC catheters, and improve nursing efficiency and comfort.

[0003] Invention patent content The purpose of the present invention is to provide a neonatal PICC catheter maintenance and fixation device to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the patent of the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a neonatal PICC tube maintenance and fixation device, comprising a PICC tube installation buckle and an arm wrap, wherein the PICC tube installation buckle and the arm wrap are connected by a detachable connecting component, and a connecting belt component for tightening the neonatal arm is installed on the arm wrap.

[0005] Furthermore, the top of the PICC tube installation buckle is open, and the detachable connecting component is located at the bottom of the other side of the PICC tube installation buckle opening.

[0006] Furthermore, the detachable component includes an upper Velcro and a lower Velcro, the upper Velcro is fixedly installed on the bottom of the PICC tube installation buckle, and the lower Velcro is fixedly installed on the top of the arm wrap, and the upper Velcro and the lower Velcro are detachably connected.

[0007] Furthermore, the connecting loop belt assembly includes a Velcro strap and a Velcro strap matching patch, the Velcro strap matching patch is installed on the side of one end of the arm wrap strap, the Velcro strap is installed on the end of the arm wrap strap away from the Velcro strap matching patch, and the Velcro strap and the Velcro strap matching patch are detachably connected.

[0008] Furthermore, the neonatal PICC tube maintenance and fixation devices are all made of skin-friendly materials.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: The neonatal PICC tube maintenance and fixation device adopts skin-friendly materials, detachable Velcro connection and arm wrap design to achieve stable, comfortable and easy-to-operate fixation of neonatal PICC tubes, effectively preventing the tube from falling off and shifting, and improving nursing efficiency and safety. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
