Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of guiding forceps, in particular to a guiding forceps for inserting a nasogastric feeding tube. Background Art

[0002] Currently, nasogastric tube insertion mainly relies on blind insertion by nurses. Critically ill patients in the ICU often encounter various difficulties in tube insertion, leading to tube insertion failure. Repeated blind tube insertion is prone to complications such as mucosal bleeding, misplaced tracheal insertion, and skull base injury. Operation failure will also cause waste of medical supplies and affect the patient's treatment. When ICU nurses encounter difficulties in blindly inserting a nasogastric tube in critically ill patients, doctors will choose to use a laryngoscope through the mouth to help expose the esophageal opening in the throat, and use a fiber bronchoscope to guide or clamp the nasogastric tube with hemostatic forceps to assist in inserting the esophagus. However, it is often difficult to succeed due to laryngeal edema, obstruction of the endotracheal tube, and restricted body position. It also requires the cooperation of multiple people, high medical costs, long operation time, and easy damage to the surrounding mucosa, resulting in low medical efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0029] At the end of the first guiding forceps body 100, an operation ring 101 for driving the rotation of the first guiding forceps body 100 is provided. At one end of the first guiding forceps body 100 close to the second guiding forceps body 200, a first buckle 102 is fixedly installed. At the rear side of the first guiding forceps body 100, an arc-shaped feeding port 103 for inserting a nasogastric tube into the esophagus is provided. At the front end of the first guiding forceps body 100, an arc-shaped guiding channel 104 for preventing the tip of the first guiding forceps body 100 from damaging the mucosa of the human pharynx is provided, and the shape of the arc-shaped guiding channel 104 is a smooth thin-walled arc-shaped hollow cylindrical tube; the clamping part is designed as a short arc-shaped structure with a length of about 2-3 cm and a turning arc of 30 degrees, which conforms to the physiological structure of the human larynx for easy operation. When the clamping tip is closed, it is a smooth thin-walled hollow cylindrical tube shape to fit the shape and size of the nasogastric tube, which can avoid slipping during the catheterization process, and at the same time provide a smooth channel for guiding the nasogastric tube into the esophagus. At the rear end of the clamp, there is an arc-shaped feeding port 103 for facilitating the feeding of the nasogastric tube, and the length of the clamp handle is greater than the diameter of a normal human oral cavity for easy clinical operation.

[0030] At the top of the second guiding forceps body 200, an operation ring 201 for cooperating with the operation ring 101 to drive the first guiding forceps body 100 and the second guiding forceps body 200 to clamp the nasogastric tube is provided, and the aperture size of the operation ring 201 is the same as that of the operation ring 101; at one end of the second guiding forceps body 200 close to the first guiding forceps body 100, a second buckle 202 for cooperating with the first buckle 102 is fixedly installed, and the second buckle 202 and the first buckle 102 are arranged in a vertical and crosswise manner, and the width of the second buckle 202 is the same as that of the first buckle 102.
