Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a radial artery airbag compression hemostat with a self-label. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the incidence and mortality of coronary artery disease (CAD) have steadily increased. Early diagnosis and treatment of CAD is particularly crucial for the prognosis of elderly patients. Coronary angiography (CAG) is often used as the gold standard for the diagnosis of CAD. Transradial CAG effectively reduces the incidence of vascular puncture complications and improves patient comfort, making it the preferred route for CAG. Radial artery compression devices are the most commonly used hemostatic devices after CAG, offering ease of use and convenience. Among the numerous radial artery compression devices, balloon compression devices are the most widely used. This device allows for the use of a syringe to add or remove air from the balloon to quantify compression pressure. This effectively prevents nurses from accidentally applying excessive pressure due to contact with the compression device during operation, thereby alleviating pain at the puncture site and preventing displacement of the compression device. Commonly used radial artery balloon compression devices require initial inflation and decompression every two hours until all air is expelled. Once compression is complete, the device should be removed. However, currently used compression hemostats lack any on-surface markings. For example, information such as compression time, deflation time, and deflation volume must be confirmed by the nurse and surgeon and recorded on a separate piece of paper, placed on the patient's bedside table or nurse's workstation as a reminder. However, this information is easily lost or forgotten. If the number of surgeries is high, the night shift nurses are short, and the workload is heavy, the paper may accidentally fall somewhere. During rounds, the nurse may be unable to retrieve the next deflation time and must return to the nurse's station to check the computer. Furthermore, the patient cannot accurately remind the nurse of the next deflation time, resulting in prolonged compression and an increased risk of arterial occlusion. Therefore, we have developed a radial artery balloon compression hemostat with a self-labeled design. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to address the problems raised by the existing background technology. To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a self-labeled radial artery balloon compression hemostat, comprising a compression balloon, a fixing strap, and a Velcro. The compression balloon is used to compress and stop bleeding at the radial artery puncture site. The fixing strap is connected to both sides of the compression balloon and is used to fix the compression balloon to the patient's wrist. The Velcro is provided with a writable area and is adhered to the surface of the compression balloon.

[0004] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the writable area of the magic tape can be filled with information including the next deflation time and deflation volume.

[0005] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the Velcro is detachable and can be torn off from the surface of the compression airbag when information needs to be written, and can be tightly adhered to the surface of the compression airbag again after writing is completed.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the surface material of the Velcro is used for writing with a special marker pen. The written words are not easily erased and can be changed using a special wiping tool.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the Velcro is attached to an area of the compression airbag away from the arterial puncture site, and does not hinder the observation of the puncture site and the surrounding skin.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the compression airbag is provided with an inflation and deflation bag body, and air is added or reduced in the compression airbag by a syringe to quantify the compression pressure of the airbag.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the fixing belt is made of elastic material and can be appropriately stretched and adjusted according to the thickness of the patient's wrist to ensure that the compression airbag is firmly fixed on the wrist.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, both ends of the fixing belt are respectively provided with mutually cooperating Velcro structures, and the fixing belt is fixedly connected by sticking the Velcro structures.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a uniformly distributed support structure is provided inside the compression airbag to ensure uniform pressure distribution during inflation and deflation of the compression airbag.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the surface of the compression airbag is provided with an anti-slip texture to prevent the compression hemostat from shifting during use.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, this invention offers the following advantages: It integrates the previously separately registered information of the compression hemostat into the device itself, allowing patients and nurses during ward rounds to accurately and intuitively access information such as the time the compression device was worn, the next deflation time, and the deflation volume, eliminating the need to review paper or computer records. This improves nursing efficiency and prevents missed nursing opportunities due to forgetfulness. Furthermore, this improves the punctuality and efficiency of nurses in adjusting the compression device. Patients and their families can also access this information, conveniently reminding nurses to evacuate the air bag to reduce pressure, thus avoiding prolonged compression, which can increase discomfort in the patient's area and even increase the risk of radial artery occlusion.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features and technical solutions in the embodiments can be combined with each other. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0019] Example 1: A self-labeled radial artery airbag compression hemostat, comprising a compression airbag 1, a fixing belt 2 and a Velcro 3. The compression airbag 1 is used to compress and stop bleeding at the radial artery puncture site. The fixing belt 2 is connected to both sides of the compression airbag 1 and is used to fix the compression airbag 1 on the patient's wrist. The Velcro 3 is provided with a writable area 4, and the Velcro 3 is adhered to the surface of the compression airbag 1.

[0020] The writable area 4 of the Velcro 3 can be filled with information including the next deflation time and deflation volume. The Velcro 3 is detachable and can be torn off from the surface of the compression airbag 1 when information needs to be written. After writing is completed, it can be tightly adhered to the surface of the compression airbag 1 again. The surface material of the Velcro 3 is suitable for writing with a special marker. The written handwriting is not easy to erase and can be changed with a special wiping tool. The Velcro 3 is affixed to the area of the compression airbag 1 away from the arterial puncture site and will not hinder the observation of the puncture site and the surrounding skin. The compression airbag 1 is provided with an inflation and deflation bag body 5, and air is added or subtracted into the compression airbag 1 through a syringe to quantify the airbag compression pressure.

[0021] The fixing strap 2 is made of elastic material and can be stretched and adjusted appropriately according to the thickness of the patient's wrist to ensure that the compression airbag 1 is firmly fixed to the wrist. The ends of the fixing strap 2 are respectively provided with a matching Velcro 3 structure, which is attached to achieve a fixed connection of the fixing strap 2.

[0022] The interior of the compression airbag 1 is provided with a uniformly distributed support structure to ensure uniform pressure distribution during inflation and deflation of the compression airbag 1. The surface of the compression airbag 1 is provided with an anti-slip texture to prevent the compression hemostat from shifting during use.

[0023] Example 2: A radial artery balloon compression hemostat with a self-label, comprising a compression hemostat body, with a Velcro 3 label attached to the surface of the compression hemostat body. The Velcro 3 label can be filled with two pieces of information: the next deflation time and the deflation volume. The Velcro 3 label can be torn off when needed for easy writing, and is not easy to fall off when attached. The surface material of the Velcro 3 label requires nurses to use a special marker and wiping tool to write and change, without worrying about the handwriting being easily erased. The installation position of the Velcro 3 label is not close to the arterial puncture position, and will not hinder the observation of the puncture site and the surrounding skin.

[0024] A flat area is reserved on the surface of the radial artery balloon compression hemostat for installing a Velcro 3 label; the Velcro 3 label is 5cm×3cm in size, and has three filling boxes on the surface, corresponding to "initial inflation time", "next deflation time" and "deflation volume" respectively; the label is made of soft and durable Velcro 3 material, and the surface coating supports writing with a special marker; the installation position is on the side of the compression hemostat away from the arterial puncture port, which does not affect the observation of the puncture port and surrounding skin.

[0025] The Velcro 3 label is detachable for easy replacement or cleaning; the back of the label is attached with double-sided tape to ensure firm adhesion; the label content can be customized according to the specific requirements of the hospital, such as adding patient name and bed number information.

[0026] The working principle of the self-labeled radial artery balloon compression hemostat: The hemostat is mainly used to compress and stop bleeding at the radial artery puncture site after coronary angiography (CAG) via the radial artery. By reasonably controlling the compression pressure and the deflation and decompression process, it avoids bleeding at the puncture site and reduces the risk of arterial occlusion caused by prolonged excessive compression.

[0027] Compression Balloon 1: Compression and Hemostasis: Compression Balloon 1 directly applies pressure to the radial artery puncture site, playing a key role in hemostasis. During use, medical personnel inject air into Compression Balloon 1 through the inflation port using a syringe, inflating the balloon and applying pressure to the puncture site, preventing blood from flowing out and achieving hemostasis.

[0028] Pressure quantification and regulation: Using a syringe to add or remove air from the balloon accurately quantifies the compression force applied. Medical staff can precisely control the compression force based on the patient's specific condition, such as bleeding and vascular status, to avoid inadvertent application of excessive pressure due to improper operation and alleviate pain at the puncture site.

[0029] Uniform pressure distribution: The uniformly distributed support structure provided inside the compression airbag 1 ensures that the pressure of the airbag on the puncture site is evenly dispersed during the inflation and deflation process, avoiding excessive or insufficient local pressure, thereby improving the hemostatic effect and the patient's comfort.

[0030] Anti-slip: The anti-slip texture on the surface of the compression airbag 1 increases the friction between the airbag and the skin, preventing the compression hemostat from shifting during the patient's activities, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the compression position.

[0031] Fixing Strap 2: Attached to both sides of the compression bag 1, the fixing strap 2 securely secures the compression bag 1 to the patient's wrist. Made of elastic material, the fixing strap 2 offers excellent flexibility and can be stretched and adjusted to suit the thickness of the patient's wrist, ensuring the compression bag 1 fits snugly within the puncture site.

[0032] Connection method: Both ends of the fixing belt 2 are respectively provided with a Velcro 3 structure that cooperates with each other. Medical staff can easily achieve the fixed connection of the fixing belt 2 by sticking these two Velcro 3 structures. The operation is simple and convenient, and it is easy to disassemble and adjust when needed.

[0033] Velcro 3 Label: Information Recording: The Velcro 3 label is attached to the surface of the compression balloon 1, away from the arterial puncture site. Its writable area 4 is used to record important information, including the next deflation time and deflation volume. This information is crucial for medical staff to accurately monitor the progress of compression hemostasis and patient care.

[0034] Detachable and convenient for writing: The Velcro 3 is detachable. When filling in or changing information, medical staff can tear it off from the surface of the compression airbag 1, providing a more convenient writing environment. After writing is completed, it can be firmly attached to the compression airbag 1 again, and it is not easy to fall off.

[0035] Durable Writing: The surface material of Velcro 3 is suitable for writing with a special marker, and the written writing is very durable and difficult to erase. In addition, if the information needs to be changed, a special erasing tool can be used to operate it, ensuring the accuracy and updateability of the information.

[0036] No obstruction to observation: Since the Velcro 3 is attached to an area far away from the arterial puncture site, it will not hinder medical staff from observing the puncture site and surrounding skin, ensuring timely monitoring and care of the patient's wound.

[0037] After the patient completes CAG surgery via the radial artery, the medical staff aligns the compression bag 1 with the radial artery puncture site, stretches the fixation strap 2, and secures it to the patient's wrist using the Velcro 3 structure at both ends. Then, a syringe is used to inject an appropriate amount of air into the compression bag 1 through the inflation port, so that the bag reaches the appropriate compression pressure and begins compression to stop bleeding. Simultaneously, the medical staff determines the next deflation time and volume based on the surgical situation and individual patient differences, and enters this information in the writable area 4 of the Velcro 3 label. During the follow-up care process, both the medical staff and the patient or family members can directly obtain relevant information from the Velcro 3 label, allowing the medical staff to perform deflation and decompression operations on time and accurately. The patient or family members can also remind the medical staff when necessary, thereby improving care efficiency and avoiding prolonged compression due to forgetfulness or loss of information.

[0038] Example 3: Self-labeled radial artery balloon compression hemostat: Background: A patient with suspected coronary artery disease undergoes coronary angiography (CAG) via the radial artery. Postoperatively, a self-labeled radial artery balloon compression hemostat is used to compress and stop bleeding at the radial artery puncture site.

[0039] Implementation steps: Take out the self-labeled radial artery balloon compression hemostat from the package, check whether the compression balloon 1 is damaged or leaking, check whether the fixing belt 2 is intact and elastic, and confirm that the Velcro 3 is firmly attached and can be used normally.

[0040] Prepare a special marker pen and wiping tool that match the surface material of Velcro 3. Prepare a syringe of appropriate specifications for inflating and deflating the compression airbag 1.

[0041] Patient information confirmation: Communicate with the patient to confirm the patient's basic information, including name, age, surgery name, etc. Explain to the patient the purpose, method and precautions of using the hemostat to obtain the patient's cooperation.

[0042] After the operation, the patient places his wrist naturally straight on the operating table. The medical staff accurately aligns the compression airbag 1 with the radial artery puncture site to ensure the compression position is accurate.

[0043] Stretch the fixing straps 2 connected to both sides of the compression bag 1 and adjust them appropriately according to the thickness of the patient's wrist so that the compression bag 1 fits the wrist tightly. Then, attach the Velcro 3 structures at both ends of the fixing strap 2 to each other to achieve a fixed connection between the fixing straps 2 and ensure that the compression bag 1 is firmly fixed to the wrist.

[0044] Use a syringe to slowly inject air into the compression bag 1 through the inflation port. During the inflation process, closely observe the patient's reaction and bleeding at the puncture site. At the same time, control the inflation volume based on experience and the patient's specific condition to ensure that the compression bag 1 reaches the appropriate compression pressure, which is just enough to stop the bleeding.

[0045] The initial compression pressure can be adjusted based on the patient's vascular condition and surgical circumstances. For example, for most adult patients, the initial inflation volume can be around 3-5 ml, but the specific value should be determined based on actual circumstances. Remove the Velcro 3 from the surface of the compression balloon 1 and use a special marker to fill in the writable area 4 of the Velcro 3 with the relevant information. Based on the surgical situation and individual patient differences, determine the next deflation time and volume, and accurately record this information on the Velcro 3.

[0046] After filling, the Velcro 3 is tightly attached to the compression balloon 1 again in an area away from the arterial puncture site to ensure that the observation of the puncture site and the surrounding skin is not affected.

[0047] During the compression hemostasis process, medical staff regularly observe the puncture site and surrounding skin, including whether there is bleeding, hematoma, skin color change, etc. At the same time, they observe the patient's wrist sensation and blood circulation, and ask the patient whether there are any discomfort symptoms such as pain and numbness.

[0048] Since the Velcro 3 is affixed to an area that does not affect observation, medical staff can clearly observe the situation at the puncture site, discover abnormalities in time and take corresponding treatment measures.

[0049] According to the next deflation time and deflation volume recorded on the Velcro 3, use a syringe to slowly extract a corresponding amount of air from the compression airbag 1 through the inflation port on time to perform the deflation and decompression operation.

[0050] During the deflation process, closely observe the patient's reaction and the condition of the puncture site to ensure a safe and smooth deflation operation. If a small amount of bleeding occurs at the puncture site after deflation, the next deflation volume can be appropriately reduced or the deflation interval can be extended.

[0051] After each deflation operation is completed, the next deflation time and deflation volume are re-evaluated according to the actual situation of the patient, and the original information on the Velcro 3 is erased with a special wiping tool, and then the new information is filled in with a marker.

[0052] For example, after the first deflation of 1 ml, the puncture site is in good condition, and the next deflation time can be set to 1.5 hours later. The deflation volume is still 1 ml, and the updated information is accurately recorded on the Velcro 3.

[0053] When the predetermined number of deflations and deflation volume are reached, there is no sign of bleeding at the puncture site, and after evaluation and confirmation that the hemostat can be removed, the medical staff first tears off the Velcro 3 structure at both ends of the fixing belt 2, releases the fixation of the fixing belt 2, and then gently removes the compression airbag 1.

[0054] After removing the hemostat, observe the puncture site and surrounding skin again to ensure that there are no abnormalities. Then inform the patient of relevant precautions, such as keeping the puncture site clean and avoiding strenuous activities.

[0055] This self-labeled radial artery balloon compression hemostat accurately compresses and stops bleeding at the radial artery puncture site, while also making it easier for medical staff to record and manage information such as deflation time and volume, thus avoiding issues like excessive or inadequate compression time due to forgetfulness or inaccurate information. The internal support structure of the compression balloon ensures even pressure distribution, improving hemostasis and patient comfort. The non-slip texture prevents the hemostat from shifting during use, ensuring accurate compression placement. The removable Velcro label facilitates recording and updating information without affecting observation of the puncture site, facilitating postoperative care and improving both efficiency and quality.

Although this specification has described the present invention in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above specific implementation methods.
