Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wound sinus tract measurement, and in particular to a wound sinus tract measurement ruler. Background Art

[0002] Wound sinus tract mainly refers to the appearance of a tube-like wound, which needs to be treated with medication and surgery. When a wound sinus tract appears on the patient's skin surface, the doctor usually needs to measure the depth of the wound sinus tract to facilitate subsequent treatment. The traditional method of measuring wound sinus tracts is to insert a cotton swab or tweezers into the wound, then mark the cotton swab or tweezers, and measure the depth of the wound sinus tract by measuring the cotton swab or tweezers. This measurement method has the problems of inaccurate measurement and inconvenient measurement.

[0003] After searching, a Chinese patent discloses a wound sinus tract measuring ruler (authorization announcement number CN219374659U), which includes a measuring ruler rod, a buffer guide ball, and a measuring sleeve. The upper half of the measuring ruler rod is provided with a scale mark. The length of the measuring ruler rod is twice the scale mark. The scale value of the scale mark increases gradually from bottom to top. The buffer guide ball is provided at the end of the measuring ruler rod away from the scale mark and is fixedly connected to the measuring ruler rod. The diameter of the buffer guide ball is larger than the diameter of the measuring ruler rod. The measuring sleeve is sleeved on the outer side of the measuring ruler rod. The length of the measuring sleeve is equal to the marking range of the scale mark. The end of the measuring ruler rod away from the measuring sleeve is provided with a hand piece, and a limit plate is fixedly connected between the hand piece and the measuring ruler rod.

[0004] Although this patented device can get rid of the traditional cotton swab or tweezers measurement method, when measuring, the protective cotton layer and buffer guide ball at the bottom need to be inserted into the patient's wound sinus tract. For different patients, such operation will have the risk of cross infection, which is not conducive to practical application and operation.

[0030] The present application is further described in detail below through drawings and examples.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The embodiment of the present application provides a wound sinus tract measuring ruler, including a U-shaped plate 1, and a handle groove 12 is opened on the top of the U-shaped plate 1, and the handle groove 12 can be used to facilitate carrying the device.

[0032] Two moving grooves 2 are provided on the outside of the U-shaped plate 1. Scale lines 4 are provided on the outside of the U-shaped plate 1 and on both sides of the moving grooves 2. The scale lines 4 can be used to quickly identify the height position at this time. A moving frame 3 is slid between the two moving grooves 2. A placement sleeve 5 is installed on one side of the moving frame 3. The movement of the moving frame 3 can drive the placement sleeve 5 to move at the same time. A push handle 11 is installed on the side of the moving frame 3 away from the placement sleeve 5. The push handle 11 is used to push the moving frame 3 to move horizontally between the two moving grooves 2. The use of the push handle 11 makes the device more convenient when in use.

[0033] A cotton swab 6 is placed inside the placement sleeve 5, and a placement plate 7 is installed on one side of the bottom of the U-shaped plate 1 and below the placement sleeve 5. The bottom of the cotton swab 6 is placed on the top of the placement plate 7, and the placement plate 7 is used to block the bottom of the cotton swab 6 to prevent the cotton swab 6 from automatically moving downward. The bottom of the U-shaped plate 1 and the bottom of the placement plate 7 are both provided with a silicone pad, which can increase the comfort of the patient when the device contacts the patient's skin.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4In one aspect of the present embodiment, a marking component for recording the height position of the cotton swab 6 is provided at the top of the U-shaped plate 1. By providing the marking component at the top of the U-shaped plate 1, the height position of the cotton swab 6 can be accurately recorded and marked, thereby further improving the accuracy of measuring the sinus tract of the patient's wound, which is beneficial to practical application and operation. The marking component includes a clamping groove 8, a clamping block 9 and a marking paper 10. The clamping groove 8 is provided at the top of the U-shaped plate 1. The clamping block 9 slides inside the clamping groove 8, and a groove for removing the clamping block 9 from the inside of the clamping groove 8 is provided on the outside of the clamping block 9. By inserting a finger into the inside of the groove, the clamping block 9 can be pressed to be removed from the inside of the clamping groove 8. Slide grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the clamping groove 8, and slide bars used in conjunction with the slide grooves are installed on both sides of the clamping block 9. By utilizing the cooperation between the slide grooves and the slide bars, the up and down movement of the clamping block 9 in the clamping groove 8 can be ensured to be more stable. The top of the marking paper 10 is placed between the bottom of the inner wall of the pressing groove 8 and the bottom of the pressing block 9 , and the pressing block 9 can be used to stably press and fix the marking paper 10 inside the pressing groove 8 .

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] When in use, first place the cotton swab 6 inside the placement sleeve 5 so that the bottom of the cotton swab 6 contacts the top of the placement plate 7, and record the height position of the top of the cotton swab 6 at this time through the scale line 4, and record its height position on the marking paper 10, and at the same time place the U-shaped plate 1 on the skin next to the sinus tract of the patient's wound so that the placement plate 7 is located next to the sinus tract of the patient's wound;

[0037] Then, the handle 11 is pushed to move the movable frame 3 horizontally, so that the placing sleeve 5 and the cotton swab 6 are moved to the upper part of the wound sinus of the patient. Since the bottom of the cotton swab 6 is not supported by the placing plate 7 at this time, the cotton swab 6 can be moved downward to enter the wound sinus of the patient. At this time, the height position of the top of the cotton swab 6 after it moves downward is recorded again by the scale line 4, and its height position is recorded on the marking paper 10.

[0038] Then, the depth of the sinus tract of the patient's wound can be obtained by using the height difference between the two and subtracting the thickness of the placement plate 7;

[0039] Since the cotton swab 6 is a new unused cotton swab 6 each time it is used, it can not only avoid the risk of cross infection, but also quickly and accurately measure the depth of the patient's wound sinus tract;

[0040] At the same time, by setting the marking paper 10 on the top of the U-shaped plate 1, the height position of the cotton swab 6 can be accurately recorded and marked, thereby further improving the accuracy of the measurement of the patient's wound sinus tract, which is beneficial to practical application and operation;

[0041] After use, the user can insert his / her finger into the groove to press the pressing block 9 to disengage it from the pressing groove 8, and then replace the marking paper 10, so as to facilitate the next use.

[0042] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and that the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
