Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary equipment, in particular to a PICC connector protection device. Background Art

[0002] The PICC tube is a catheter inserted through a peripheral vein on the arm, and then passed through the axillary vein, subclavian vein and innominate vein in the direction of the blood vessel, and finally the tip of the catheter is inserted into the superior vena cava. When patients need long-term and multiple infusions, it can reduce the damage of irritating drugs to peripheral veins, reduce the frequency of venous punctures and thus reduce the pain of patients. The PICC tube provides patients with a convenient, safe, effective and long-term venous channel and is widely used in clinical practice.

[0003] Existing PICC catheters are mostly fixed to the patient's arm skin surface with adhesive tape, or protected by a simple mesh cover. This method is difficult to securely fix the PICC connector, especially when the patient moves his arm or takes off clothes, the PICC connector is easily dislodged, increasing the occurrence of accidents where the PICC connector is removed.

[0004] Chinese patent CN217311619U discloses a PICC connector fixing device, including a bandage body, a accommodating box and a sealing sheet; the device is easy to put on and take off, and the tightness of the bandage body can be adjusted by operating the length of the bandage body passing through the connecting piece, thereby improving the anti-loosening ability of the device. At the same time, it can also be suitable for patients with different arm circumferences.

[0005] However, when the patient is bathing, the PICC connector of the above device lacks effective sealing, causing the PICC connector to be easily washed by water, posing a risk of infection.

[0006] Based on this, the utility model proposes a PICC connector protection device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with embodiments.

[0029] The terms “left”, “right”, “front”, “back”, “up” and “down” mentioned in the following description are oriented in the viewing direction of the front view.

[0030] Please refer to the instruction manual Figure 1-5 A PICC connector protection device includes an installation body 1, a fixing mechanism 3 and a waterproof mechanism 2.

[0031] The installation body 1 comprises an installation plate 11 and an installation box 12 . A notch for accommodating a PICC connector is provided in the middle of the installation plate 11 . The installation box 12 is arranged on one side of the top of the installation plate 11 .

[0032] The fixing mechanism 3 can fix the mounting plate 11 on the patient's arm.

[0033] Specifically, the fixing mechanism 3 includes a strap 32, which is mounted on the bottom side of the mounting plate 11, and the two ends of the strap 32 are bonded by a second Velcro 33. The second Velcro 33 includes a sub-tie and a mother-tie, which are respectively arranged at the two ends of the strap 32.

[0034] Preferably, the fixing mechanism 3 further comprises a protection box 31, and the protection box 31 is placed on the top of the notch of the mounting plate 11 to protect the PICC connector.

[0035] Furthermore, a cover is hinged on the top of the protection box 31, and the cover can be opened to expose the PICC connector.

[0036] The waterproof mechanism 2 includes a winding assembly 21, which includes a vortex spring 211, a fixing rod 212 and a waterproof film 213. The fixing rod 212 is installed in the installation box 12. One end of the vortex spring 211 is connected to the fixing rod 212, and the other end is connected to the waterproof film 213. The distal end of the waterproof film 213 is movable to pass out of the installation box 12 and is bonded to the outer wall of the installation box 12 through the first Velcro 214. The first Velcro 214 includes a sub-sticker and a mother sticker, which are respectively arranged at the distal end of the waterproof film 213 and the outer side of the installation box 12.

[0037] Furthermore, the waterproof mechanism 2 also includes a tightening component 22, which is arranged on both side edges of the waterproof film 213. The tightening component 22 includes a drawstring 221, a fixed sleeve 222 and a sliding sleeve 223. Two first through holes 225 are respectively provided on both sides of the fixed sleeve 222, and two second through holes 226 are respectively provided on both sides of the sliding sleeve 223. The sliding sleeve 223 is slidably installed in the fixed sleeve 222 and is connected to the inside of the fixed sleeve 222 through a spring 224. The spring 224 can provide an elastic force to push the sliding sleeve 223 so that the second through hole 226 is staggered with the first through hole 225. The two ends of the drawstring 221 are respectively movable through each of the first through hole 225 and the second through hole 226, and extend along the edge of the waterproof film 213 to the two ends of the waterproof film 213.

[0038] When the spring 224 is in a compressed state, the first through hole 225 coincides with the second through hole 226, and the drawstring 221 is slidably connected to the first through hole 225 and the second through hole 226; when the spring 224 is in a relaxed state, the first through hole 225 is misaligned with the second through hole 226, and the drawstring 221 is clamped in the first through hole 225 and the second through hole 226.

[0039] When the utility model is in use, the installation body 1 is fixed to the PICC connector by the fixing mechanism 3, and the fixing mechanism 3 wraps and fixes the PICC connector to prevent the PICC connector from falling due to external touch. If the patient is taking a bath, the waterproof mechanism 2 needs to be pulled out to wrap the fixing mechanism 3 to prevent the PICC connector from getting wet and avoid infection of the patient.

[0040] After the fixing mechanism 3 fixes the mounting plate 11 at the PICC connector, if the patient needs to take a bath, the waterproof film 213 is pulled out of the mounting box 12, so that the waterproof film 213 bypasses the fixing mechanism 3 for one week and wraps the PICC connector in all directions. The first Velcro 214 fixes the waterproof film 213 and the mounting box 12. Under the action of the vortex spring 211, the waterproof film 213 is tightened. After that, by pressing the fixing sleeve 222 and the sliding sleeve 223, the first through hole 225 and the second through hole 226 are overlapped, and then the drawstring 221 is pulled. The drawstring 221 tightens the edge of the waterproof film 213, and then the fixing sleeve 222 and the sliding sleeve 223 are loosened. Under the action of the spring 224, the first through hole 225 and the second through hole 226 are misaligned and the drawstring 221 is locked to prevent the drawstring 221 from slipping off, thereby tightening the gap between the edges of the waterproof film 213 on both sides, and realizing all-round wrapping of the PICC connector, thereby preventing the PICC connector from getting wet and avoiding patient infection.

[0041] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents. Such modifications or replacements will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
