Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical care equipment technology, and in particular to a wound irrigation and care device for critically ill ICU patients. Background Technology

[0002] In the intensive care unit (ICU), lumbar wounds are sometimes irrigated to prevent infection and promote healing. However, existing wound irrigation methods have several shortcomings: they mostly rely on medical staff to operate the irrigation tools by hand, which is not only labor-intensive but also makes it difficult to precisely control the angle and force of the irrigation; the waste liquid generated during the irrigation process can easily flow freely, contaminating the bed and the surrounding environment and increasing the risk of cross-infection; in addition, the temperature of the irrigation solution cannot be adjusted according to the patient's needs, which may cause discomfort to the patient and affect the nursing effect.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need for a highly integrated, easy-to-operate, safe and hygienic wound irrigation and care device for ICU critically ill patients that can improve patient comfort, in order to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wound irrigation and care device for ICU critically ill patients, in order to solve the problems of existing wound irrigation and care methods for ICU critically ill patients mentioned in the background art, such as high labor intensity, easy pollution of the environment by waste liquid, inconvenience in adjusting the patient's position, lack of protective measures, and inability to adjust the temperature of the irrigation liquid.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a wound irrigation and care device for ICU critically ill patients, comprising a movable structure, a supporting structure, a protective structure, a supporting structure, a collecting structure, an irrigation structure, and a fixing structure.

[0006] Moving structure:

[0007] The movable structure supports the entire rinsing and nursing device and facilitates its movement. It includes a base plate, with casters located near the four corners on the lower surface of the base plate. These casters are omnidirectional casters with braking function, allowing for flexible movement of the device while also securing it in place during use to prevent slippage. A push handle is fixedly connected to one end of the base plate. The push handle is covered with a non-slip rubber sleeve for easy gripping and pushing by medical personnel.

[0008] Supporting structure:

[0009] The support structure is designed to support the patient, providing a stable operating platform for wound irrigation. It includes a bed board positioned directly above the base plate, with a splash guard fixed to the upper surface to prevent irrigation fluid leakage. A headrest, filled with memory foam, is fixed to one end of the bed board to adapt to the patient's head shape and enhance head support comfort. A slot in the center of the bed board allows used cleaning fluid to drain out. Multiple handles with anti-slip textures are located on both sides of the bed board, facilitating medical staff to assist patients in adjusting their position and bed height.

[0010] Protective structure:

[0011] Two protective structures are provided, positioned opposite each other on either side of the bed board to prevent patients from falling out of bed. Each structure includes a guardrail, with sleeves at both ends, the sides of which are fixedly connected to the sides of the bed board. A fixing bolt is threaded onto the side of each sleeve. To adjust the guardrail height, loosen the fixing bolt, move the guardrail up or down to the desired position, and then tighten the fixing bolt until its end is secured against the guardrail, thus fixing the guardrail height. The guardrail is made of stainless steel, offering high strength and corrosion resistance to ensure effective protection.

[0012] Supporting structure:

[0013] The support structure supports the bed board and allows for adjustment of its height and tilt angle. It includes a hinged component fixed to the bottom of the bed board. The bottom of the hinged component is equipped with a hydraulic device, which is then fixed upwards to the bottom of the bed board. Through the extension and retraction of the hydraulic device, combined with the rotation of the hinged component, the height and tilt angle of the bed board can be flexibly adjusted, ensuring that the irrigation structure can irrigate the patient's wound at the optimal angle, while simultaneously improving the patient's positional comfort.

[0014] Collection structure:

[0015] The collection structure is designed to collect wastewater generated during the rinsing process, preventing environmental pollution. It includes a collection tank positioned at the center of the upper surface of a base plate. A drain pipe is connected to one side of the collection tank near the bottom, and a valve is installed on the drain pipe for convenient periodic discharge of wastewater from the collection tank. An observation window made of transparent glass with graduated lines is located on one side of the collection tank, allowing medical personnel to easily monitor the amount of wastewater collected and ensure timely discharge.

[0016] Flushing structure:

[0017] The irrigation structure is used for precise irrigation of patient wounds. It includes a constant temperature heating chamber placed on the bottom plate. The constant temperature heating chamber has a sealing cover on one side, and the sealing cover is hinged to the constant temperature heating chamber to facilitate opening and replenishment of irrigation fluid. The top of the constant temperature heating chamber has multiple hooks, which are evenly distributed on the constant temperature heating chamber. A sterile bag containing sterile irrigation fluid is hung inside the constant temperature heating chamber through the hooks. The drain port of the sterile bag extends out of the bottom of the constant temperature heating chamber.

[0018] A flushing tube is placed on one side of the constant temperature heating box. One end of the flushing tube is equipped with a drainage needle for connecting to the drainage port of a sterile bag. A flushing device is located at the end of the flushing tube away from the drainage needle, and the flushing device is positioned at one end of the bed board, aimed at the patient's wound flushing area. A water pump is installed on the flushing tube and is fixed to one side of the constant temperature heating box. The water pump has a water flow monitoring function, which can control the flushing fluid flow in real time. A controller is located near the flushing device on the flushing tube and is fixed to one side of the constant temperature heating box for adjusting the start and stop of flushing and the flushing intensity.

[0019] Fixed structure:

[0020] The fixing structure is used to stably secure the collection box and reservoir to the upper surface of the base plate, preventing them from shaking or tipping over during device movement. It includes angle irons and handles. Multiple angle irons are provided, positioned opposite each other on both sides of the collection box and reservoir. The angle irons are fixed to the base plate by fixing bolts. Tightening the fixing bolts secures the angle irons firmly against the side walls of the collection box or reservoir, achieving fixation. Multiple handles are provided, fixed to both sides of the collection box and reservoir, facilitating removal by medical personnel for cleaning and sterilization.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0022] This device features a movable structure, with casters and a push frame equipped with braking function, making it easy for medical staff to move the device flexibly according to nursing needs and reducing the difficulty of transporting the device.

[0023] The support structure, together with the protective and support structures, not only provides comfortable support for patients but also prevents them from falling out of bed through the guardrails, ensuring their safety. At the same time, the support structure allows for flexible adjustment of the bed height to accommodate the operating habits of different medical staff and the positioning needs of patients, improving the convenience of nursing procedures.

[0024] The device is highly integrated, combining functions such as movement, support, protection, stabilization, rinsing, and waste collection into one unit. It is easy to operate, effectively reducing the labor intensity of medical staff and improving the efficiency and safety of wound rinsing care for critically ill patients in the ICU. It has high practical value.
