Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a closed thoracic drainage tube. Background Art

[0002] Closed thoracic drainage is to place one end of the drainage tube into the thoracic cavity, and the other end is connected to a water seal bottle at a lower position, so as to discharge gas or collect the liquid in the thoracic cavity, so that the lung tissue can reopen and resume its function. As a treatment method, it is widely used in the drainage of hemothorax, pneumothorax, empyema and after thoracotomy, and plays a very important role in the treatment of diseases.

[0003] According to the utility model patent of the improved thoracic drainage tube with the patent number CN220213519U, it includes: a drainage tube body, which includes a main tube body and a flushing side interface and an injection side interface arranged on its side wall; a blocking clip is clamped near the head end of the main tube body; a detachable extension tube is externally connected to the flushing side interface and a flushing component is arranged therein; one end of the extension tube close to the flushing side interface is provided with a one-way valve, and its tail end is hermetically connected to a sealing cap body. By setting the flushing side interface and the injection side interface, the purpose of integrating flushing and injection in the thoracic drainage tube can be achieved, and many problems in the thoracic drainage process can be avoided.

[0004] When the above technical solution is used, although it has the purpose of integrating flushing and injection, both flushing and injection are operated through a single pipeline. Although it does not affect normal drainage, during flushing and injection, the liquid for injection and flushing will flush the original empyema and hemothorax liquid in the pipeline back into the patient's thoracic cavity again, which will seriously aggravate the patient's condition in severe cases. Moreover, it can only perform drainage and flushing operations separately and cannot be carried out simultaneously, so the applicability is low. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a closed thoracic drainage tube, which can not only realize the operations of flushing and drainage, but also will not affect each other during flushing and drainage. It can be operated separately or simultaneously, improving its applicability.

[0006] The above technical purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A closed - type thoracic drainage tube, comprising a drainage tube body. An outer sleeve made of a flexible material and matching with the drainage tube body is sleeved on the outer wall of the drainage tube body. A gap is left between the inner wall of the outer sleeve and the outer wall of the drainage tube body. A sealing ring for sealing connection with the inner wall of the outer sleeve is arranged at a position on the outer wall of the drainage tube body near its front end. A water - spraying assembly for sealing connection with the inner wall of the outer sleeve is arranged at the front end of the outer wall of the drainage tube body. A liquid storage cavity is formed between the water - spraying assembly and the sealing ring.

[0008] A fixing ring for connection with the inner wall of the outer sleeve is arranged at the rear end of the outer wall of the drainage tube body. One side at the rear end of the outer wall of the sealing ring is communicated with a liquid inlet tube that passes through the fixing ring and extends out of the rear end of the outer sleeve. One end of the liquid inlet tube extending out of the outer sleeve is communicated with a first quick - connector. The rear end of the outer wall of the sealing ring is communicated with a plurality of first one - way valves arranged backward. An elastic and deformable water - isolating membrane is arranged at the edge of the front end of each first one - way valve in a matching manner. A communicating tube communicated with the drainage tube body is arranged at the rear end of the drainage tube body. A second quick - connector communicated with the communicating tube is installed at the rear end of the communicating tube.

[0009] By adopting the above - mentioned technical solution, during use, the device is placed at the position in the patient's chest cavity that needs drainage and irrigation and fixed. Then, the communicating tube is connected to the drainage bottle through the second quick - connector to perform drainage and exhaust. The liquid of empyema and hemothorax is drained through the drainage tube. When irrigation is required, a syringe filled with irrigation liquid is communicated with the first quick - connector, and then the irrigation liquid flows into the liquid storage cavity along the liquid inlet tube. The air in the liquid storage cavity is squeezed out from the first one - way valve on the sealing ring as the liquid level rises. When the liquid storage cavity is filled with irrigation liquid, with continuous liquid inlet, each water - isolating membrane is squeezed and deformed backward and tightly adheres to the inner wall of the corresponding first one - way valve to block its outlet, preventing liquid leakage. At this time, the irrigation liquid will be sprayed out from the front end of the water - spraying assembly to frequently irrigate the affected area of the patient, and the irrigated liquid will flow out along the drainage tube at the same time, without affecting the normal drainage work of the drainage tube body during irrigation.

[0010] The improved setting of the present utility model is that: the water - spraying assembly includes a water - guiding ring arranged in a ring shape, a water inlet groove opened at the rear end of the outer wall of the water - guiding ring, and a plurality of water - spraying nozzles that are communicated with the front end of the outer wall of the water - guiding ring and are larger at the rear and smaller at the front to prevent backflow.

[0011] The further setting of the present utility model is that: one side at the rear end of the outer wall of the fixing ring is communicated with a ventilation tube, and a second one - way valve communicated with the ventilation tube is detachably connected to the rear end of the ventilation tube.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, after the catheterization is completed, the space between the sealing ring and the fixing ring can be inflated through the second one-way valve and the ventilation pipe. When increasing the hardness of its outer sleeve, it can not only prevent the pipeline from bending and folding, but also fit with the patient's wound to a certain extent and avoid shaking.

[0013] A further setting of the present utility model is that: along the length direction of the outer wall of the drainage tube body, a plurality of connecting rings which are arranged at equal intervals and are in a hollow shape and are connected to the inner wall of the outer sleeve are provided.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting rings can not only increase the stability between the outer sleeve and the drainage tube, but also avoid the pipeline bending to affect the normal drainage work to a certain extent.

[0015] To sum up, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] Firstly, the present utility model can not only realize the operations of flushing and drainage, but also there will be no mutual influence between the two during flushing and drainage. It can be operated separately or simultaneously, improving its applicability;

[0017] Secondly, the present utility model can not only discharge the air in the liquid inlet pipe during flushing to avoid air entering the patient's chest cavity, but also will not affect the sealing performance of the liquid storage cavity after discharging the air;

[0018] Thirdly, the ventilation pipe and the second one-way valve of the present utility model can inflate the outer sleeve during use, which can not only increase the hardness of the outer sleeve and prevent the pipeline from folding, but also increase the fitting degree with the patient's wound through the hardened outer sleeve.

An outer sleeve 11 made of a flexible material and matching with the drainage tube body 1 is sleeved on the outer wall of the drainage tube body 1. There is a gap between the inner wall of the outer sleeve 11 and the outer wall of the drainage tube body 1. A number of connecting rings 25 which are equally spaced and in a hollow shape and connected to the inner wall of the outer sleeve 11 are arranged along the length direction of the outer wall of the drainage tube body 1. A sealing ring 12 which is hermetically connected to the inner wall of the outer sleeve 11 is arranged at a position near the front end of the outer wall of the drainage tube body 1. A water - spraying assembly 13 which is hermetically connected to the inner wall of the outer sleeve 11 is arranged at the front end of the outer wall of the drainage tube body 1. The water - spraying assembly 13 includes a water - guiding ring 14 arranged in a ring shape, a water inlet groove 15 opened at the rear end of the outer wall of the water - guiding ring 14, and a number of water - spraying nozzles 16 which are connected to the front end of the outer wall of the water - guiding ring 14 and are smaller at the front and larger at the rear to prevent backflow. A liquid storage cavity 17 is formed between the water - spraying assembly 13 and the sealing ring 12. A fixing ring 22 which is connected to the inner wall of the outer sleeve 11 is arranged at the rear end of the outer wall of the drainage tube body 1.

[0029] One side of the rear end of the outer wall of the sealing ring 12 is communicated with a liquid inlet tube 18 which passes through the fixing ring 22 and extends out of the rear end of the outer sleeve 11. One end of the liquid inlet tube 18 extending out of the outer sleeve 11 is communicated with a first quick - connector 19. One side of the rear end of the outer wall of the fixing ring 22 is provided with a ventilation tube 23 communicated with it. The rear end of the ventilation tube 23 is detachably connected with a second one - way valve 24 communicated with it. The rear end of the outer wall of the sealing ring 12 is communicated with a plurality of first one - way valves 2 arranged backward. An elastic and deformable water - isolating film 21 is arranged in cooperation with the front - end edge of each first one - way valve 2. In the initial state, there is a gap between each water - isolating film 21 and the front - end edge of the corresponding first one - way valve 2. A communicating tube 26 communicated with the drainage tube body 1 is arranged at the rear end of the drainage tube body 1. A second quick - connector 27 communicated with it is installed at the rear end of the communicating tube 26.

[0030] Usage method: When in use, remove the second one - way valve 24 on the ventilation tube 23, then place the front ends of the outer sleeve 11 and the drainage tube body 1 at the position in the patient's chest cavity that needs drainage and irrigation and fix them. Then install the second one - way valve 24 on the ventilation tube 23, and use a syringe to inflate the ventilation tube 23 to make the gas fill the space between the sealing ring 12 and the fixing ring 22 and increase the hardness of the ventilation tube 23.
