Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical appliances and relates to a urinary catheter with an anti-blocking function. Background Art

[0002] As a relatively common medical device, a urinary catheter is primarily used to drain urine from the bladder of patients who are unable to urinate normally. After abdominal surgery, especially those involving the pelvis and lower abdomen, patients require a urinary catheter. Conventional clinical practice involves inserting the catheter into the bladder, allowing urine from the patient's bladder to flow into the catheter through the drainage port. The other end of the catheter is connected to a urine bag, where the drained urine is collected. This reduces the risk of bladder damage and allows medical staff to observe the amount of urine drained in real time to assess the patient's renal function and circulating blood volume.

[0003] At present, the fluid accumulated in the bladder of postoperative patients may contain viscous blood, or even blood clots, stones, etc., which may flow into the catheter during the drainage process and cause blockage of the catheter. The blockage often occurs in the middle section of the catheter, which will cause the catheter to have poor urine drainage and cause the patient to have difficulty urinating and painful urination. When the blockage is serious, the urine cannot be drained and accumulates in the patient's bladder, causing the patient's lower abdominal distension and pain, and even medical accidents such as urine reflux to the kidneys. Therefore, when the blockage is serious, medical staff will pull the catheter out of the patient's body and replace it with a new one. This process is time-consuming and tedious, and the operation is extremely inconvenient. The repeated removal and insertion of the catheter will cause great discomfort and pain to the patient. Therefore, it is urgent to design a catheter that can prevent blockage to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a urinary catheter with an anti-blocking tube function. It is based on a double-tube structure design and adopts a double-tube structure. When the tube is blocked, urine can flow into the anti-blocking inner tube from the liquid inlet of the anti-blocking inner tube above the blocked part, which can always maintain the urine flow channel and solve the problem that the existing urinary catheter is easily blocked. Moreover, through the detachable structure, when the blockage is serious, the tube body and the tube head can be separated, and the new tube body can be connected to the tube head, avoiding the problem of repeated unplugging and connecting the tube to the tube head causing discomfort and pain to the patient.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] A urinary catheter with an anti-blocking function comprises a tube head and a tube body, the tube head and the tube body being detachably connected, an air bag being provided on the tube head, the air bag being connected to an inflation pipe, the inflation pipe being arranged in the tube head, a flushing port being provided on the tube head, the flushing port being connected to a flushing pipe, the flushing pipe being arranged in the tube head, a drainage port being provided on the tube head, the drainage port being connected to a drainage pipe arranged in the tube head, a connecting cover being provided at the bottom end of the tube head, and a through hole being provided on the connecting cover for fixing the pipe openings of the inflation pipe, the flushing pipe, and the drainage pipe;

[0007] The tube body is composed of a connecting seat and a urinary catheter tube. The connecting seat is arranged at the top end of the urinary catheter tube. An inflation joint, a flushing joint and a drainage joint corresponding to the pipe openings of the inflation tube, the flushing tube and the drainage tube are provided on the connecting seat. An inflation cannula connected to the inflation joint and a flushing cannula connected to the flushing joint are provided in the urinary catheter tube. An anti-blocking inner tube is provided in the urinary catheter tube. The top of the anti-blocking inner tube is connected to the urinary catheter tube by a connecting rod, and the opening at the bottom is located at the bottom of the urinary catheter tube. Several liquid inlets are evenly spaced from top to bottom on the anti-blocking inner tube.

[0008] Furthermore, the tube head is provided with a threaded connector, and a limiting clamp is provided on the outer edge of the bottom end of the tube head. Correspondingly, a matching thread is provided on the connecting seat of the tube body.

[0009] Furthermore, a fixing pad is movably provided on the urinary catheter of the tube body, a strap is provided on the fixing pad, and limiting cloth rings are provided on the left and right parts of the fixing pad.

[0010] Furthermore, the strap is a Velcro.

[0011] Furthermore, the left side of the Velcro is wider than the right side, and a hole is provided on the left side of the Velcro, the width of the hole matches the width of the right side of the Velcro, and the right side of the Velcro passes through the left side through the hole to form a ring structure.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The present invention adopts a double-tube structure and an anti-blocking inner tube is arranged in the urinary catheter. When the urinary catheter is blocked, urine flows into the anti-blocking inner tube from the liquid inlet above the blocked part and flows into the urinary catheter at the lower end of the blocked part through the anti-blocking inner tube. It can also flow directly into the urine collection bag from the anti-blocking inner tube. The anti-blocking inner tube can maintain smooth drainage of urine, effectively solving the problem of poor urine drainage after blockage of the existing urinary catheter. In addition, the tube head and the tube body adopt a detachable connection structure. When the urinary catheter is seriously blocked, the tube body and the tube head can be disassembled and separated, and a new tube body can be connected to the tube head, avoiding the problem of repeated removal and connection of the tube to cause discomfort and pain to the patient.

[0014] 2. During the indwelling of the urinary catheter, the present invention moves the fixing pad to the corresponding leg position according to the patient's needs and fixation requirements, and fixes it with Velcro. When fixed for a long time, the Velcro can be properly loosened to relax the patient's legs, which can avoid the problem of using medical tape to stick the urinary catheter for secondary fixation, which causes long-term adhesion and pressure on the leg fixation site and causes skin damage.

[0036] Working principle of the present invention:

[0037] During catheterization, the inflation connector, flushing connector and drainage connector are respectively inserted into the inflation pipe, flushing pipe and drainage pipe through the openings on the connecting cover, and then the tube head is connected to the tube body, and the threaded connector is screwed to fasten the tube body and the tube head to enhance the connection stability between the tube body and the tube head; then the tube head is inserted into the patient's urethra, and the airbag is inflated through the inflation cannula through the inflation pipe to expand the airbag and fix the tube head in the patient's urethra to prevent the tube head from falling off; then, according to the patient's needs, the fixing pad is moved on the tube body to the corresponding position of the patient's leg, the tube body is first restrained by pulling the Velcro to fix the fixing pad to the tube body, and then the Velcro is bonded to fix the fixing pad to the patient's leg to complete the secondary fixation of the tube body and enhance the stability of the catheter.

[0038] During use, when the urinary catheter is blocked, urine will flow into the anti-blocking inner tube through the liquid inlet above the blockage (the filter on the liquid inlet can block impurities) and flow downstream, thereby providing a circulation channel for urine, avoiding poor urine diversion due to blockage. Finally, urine flows into the urine collection bag through the urinary catheter, or directly into the urine collection bag through the bottom of the anti-blocking inner tube.

[0039] When bladder irrigation is required, saline and medication are injected through the irrigation cannula through the irrigation tube to flush the bladder.

[0040] If serious tube blockage occurs, the spiral connector can be unscrewed, and then the tube body and the tube head can be separated, and then a new tube body can be replaced. There is no need to remove the entire tube and insert a new tube, which improves the efficiency of catheter replacement and avoids repeated intubation and removal of the tube, which causes pain to the patient.

[0041] After the fixing pad has been tied for a long time, the Velcro can be loosened as needed to relax the patient's legs and avoid skin damage caused by prolonged pressure on the patient's legs.

[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that various improvements and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention, and such improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations coming within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included therein. Any reference signs in the claims should not be construed as limiting the claim to which they relate.
