Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of neonatal technology, and in particular to a colostrum collection and storage device for premature mothers with mother-infant separation. Background Art

[0002] The global incidence of premature births is approximately 5%-18%. After birth, premature infants are often transferred to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) due to illness and developmental delays, leading to separation from their mothers and infants. Breast milk is the optimal source of nutrition for premature infants separated from their mothers, not only providing essential nutrients but also reducing the incidence of conditions such as late-onset sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis, and retinopathy. However, a survey by Chinese researchers showed that the exclusive breastfeeding rate among premature infants at six months of age was only 11.7%, suggesting a poor breastfeeding situation.

[0003] The difficulty of collecting breast milk may be one of the important factors that affect whether mothers and their families choose to breastfeed. When collecting colostrum with an electric breast pump, the amount of colostrum is small, and there are phenomena such as milk sticking to the wall and milk wastage, which is not conducive to collection. Therefore, in the current clinical practice, for the collection of breast milk from premature mothers with separated mothers and infants, nurses guide and assist the mothers in manual milking, and then use a 2ml empty needle (without the needle part) to suck out the expressed colostrum. The collected breast milk is then put into a milk storage bag and sent to the neonatal ward. Most premature infants have a long hospital stay, and mothers need to complete the collection and storage of breast milk at home, which will face the following problems: (1) At least one family member is required to assist in the collection, and the mother will face difficulties in collecting milk alone at home. (2) It is difficult to obtain the collection tool (empty needle), and there is a risk of needlestick injury if the needle is not properly removed. (3) There are many steps in the collection process, and the cleanliness level cannot be guaranteed. It can be seen that the existing method of collecting breast milk from premature mothers with separated mothers and infants is inefficient, difficult to store, and inconvenient for feeding.

[0004] Based on the above research background, this project team intends to design a colostrum collection and storage device for premature mothers with mother-infant separation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the embodiment of the present application is to provide a colostrum collection and storage device for premature mothers with separated mothers and infants. By using a negative pressure suction device combined with a guide trough structure, the mother can independently complete the breast milk collection and storage process at home, so as to conveniently collect and store colostrum and provide a more convenient feeding method, in order to improve the breastfeeding rate of premature infants with separated mothers and infants.

[0006] In order to achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of the present application are implemented in the following manner:

[0007] In the first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a colostrum collection and storage device for premature mothers with separated mother and baby, comprising a collection port, an adapter, a storage container, a connecting tube and a negative pressure part, wherein the adapter has a cavity and has a first connecting port, a second connecting port and a third connecting port respectively provided in different directions, and the second connecting port is located below the first connecting port and the third connecting port; the collection port is trumpet-shaped and is sealed with the first connecting port for collecting colostrum; the storage container is detachably connected to the second connecting port; the first end of the connecting tube is sealed with the third connecting port, and the second end of the connecting tube is connected to the negative pressure part; wherein the collection port is fitted with the breast of the newborn mother, and through the operation of the negative pressure part, a negative pressure cavity is intermittently formed in the adapter to achieve "sucking", and the colostrum flows into the adapter and then flows into the storage container through the second connecting port for storage.

[0008] In combination with the first aspect, in a first possible implementation manner of the first aspect, a guide groove is provided between the first connecting port and the second connecting port.

[0009] In combination with the first possible implementation of the first aspect, in a second possible implementation of the first aspect, a guide groove structure is provided at one end of the collection port connected to the first connecting port, and the guide groove structure is connected to the guide groove.

[0010] In combination with the first aspect, in a third possible implementation of the first aspect, the first end of the connecting pipe is a cover-like structure, and a diaphragm is provided in the cover-like structure for isolating air circulation between the connecting pipe and the adapter.

[0011] In combination with the third possible implementation manner of the first aspect, in a fourth possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the negative pressure part is a manual negative pressure pump or an electric negative pressure pump.

[0012] In combination with the first aspect, in a fifth possible implementation of the first aspect, the capacity of the storage container is 5-10 mL.

[0013] In combination with the first aspect, in a sixth possible implementation of the first aspect, the colostrum collection and storage device for premature mothers with mother-infant separation further includes a nipple, and a connecting end of the nipple cooperates with the opening of the storage container.

[0014] Beneficial Effects: The adapter portion of the colostrum collection and storage device for premature mothers separated from their mothers and infants has a cavity and is provided with a first connection port, a second connection port, and a third connection port, respectively, in different directions, with the second connection port located below the first and third connection ports. The collection port is trumpet-shaped and sealed with the first connection port for collecting colostrum. The storage container is detachably connected to the second connection port. The first end of the connecting tube is sealed with the third connection port, and the second end of the connecting tube is connected to the negative pressure portion. The collection port is placed against the breast of the newborn mother, and the operation of the negative pressure portion creates intermittent negative pressure cavities in the adapter portion, achieving "sucking." Colostrum flows into the adapter portion and then into the storage container through the second connection port for storage. This allows for specialized colostrum collection. Due to the small amount of colostrum, a diversion groove and a diversion groove structure are designed to facilitate the diversion of colostrum from the collection port to the storage container connected to the second connection port. The colostrum collection container is 5-10mL, making it ideal for collecting colostrum. It also comes with a compatible teat, allowing you to replace the teat after colostrum collection and storage, and use it to feed your newborn premature baby. This method of colostrum collection is convenient and efficient, and facilitates easy feeding of premature babies.

[0023] See also Figure 1 The colostrum collection and storage device for premature parturients with mother-infant separation includes a collection port 11, a connecting portion 12, a storage container 13, a connecting tube 14 and a negative pressure portion 15.

[0024] The adapter portion 12 has a cavity and defines a first connection port 121, a second connection port 122, and a third connection port 123 in different directions. The second connection port 122 is located below the first connection port 121 and the third connection port 123. For example, the first connection port 121 is located at the upper left, the third connection port 123 is located at the upper right, and the second connection port 122 is located at the bottom.

[0025] The collecting port 11 is trumpet-shaped and is sealed to the first connecting port 121 for collecting colostrum.

[0026] The storage container 13 is detachably connected to the second connection port 122 .

[0027] A first end of the connecting tube 14 is sealedly connected to the third connecting port 123 , and a second end of the connecting tube 14 is connected to the negative pressure portion 15 .

[0028] During use, the collection port 11 can be attached to the breast of the newborn mother. Through the operation of the negative pressure part 15, a negative pressure cavity is formed at intervals in the adapter part 12 to achieve "sucking". After the colostrum flows into the adapter part 12, it flows into the storage container 13 through the second connecting port 122 for storage.

[0029] In this embodiment, a guide groove 124 is provided between the first connection port 121 and the second connection port 122. A guide groove structure 111 is provided at one end of the collection port 11 connected to the first connection port 121, so that the guide groove structure 111 is connected to the guide groove 124, thereby allowing the colostrum to be introduced into the storage container 13.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first end of the connecting tube 14 is a cap-like structure, and a diaphragm 141 is provided within the cap to isolate the air flow between the connecting tube 14 and the adapter 12. This maintains cleanliness and prevents external air and germs from continuously entering the cavity of the adapter 12 through the negative pressure pump. The negative pressure unit 15 can be a manual negative pressure pump or an electric negative pressure pump.

[0031] Since the amount of colostrum is relatively small, usually only 1-2 mL, the capacity of the storage container 13 can be designed to be 5-10 mL.

[0032] In order to facilitate feeding premature babies, the colostrum collection and storage device for premature mothers separated from their mothers also includes a nipple head 16. The connecting end of the nipple head 16 cooperates with the opening of the storage container 13 to form a miniature feeding bottle. Figure 2 shown. Figure 2 The nipple 16 of the miniature feeding bottle shown in the figure is sized to fit the storage container 13. Alternatively, the miniature feeding bottle can be designed so that the nipple 16 is larger than the storage container 13, but the connecting end of the nipple 16 fits snugly within the opening of the storage container 13, forming a miniature feeding bottle (not shown separately in the figures) with a larger nipple and smaller body. This makes it easier for premature infants to suck on the bottle and prevents the premature infant from accidentally inserting the entire miniature feeding bottle into their mouth.

[0033] In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides a colostrum collection and storage device for premature mothers with separated mother and baby, wherein the adapter portion 12 has a cavity, and has a first connection port 121, a second connection port 122 and a third connection port 123 respectively provided in different directions, and the second connection port 122 is located below the first connection port 121 and the third connection port 123; the collection port 11 is trumpet-shaped, and is sealed with the first connection port 121 for collecting colostrum; the storage container 13 is detachably connected to the second connection port 122; the first end of the connecting tube 14 is sealed with the third connection port 123, and the second end of the connecting tube 14 is connected to the negative pressure portion 15; the collection port 11 is fitted to the breast of the newborn mother, and through the operation of the negative pressure portion 15, a negative pressure cavity is intermittently formed in the adapter portion 12 to achieve "sucking", and the colostrum flows into the adapter portion 12 and then flows into the storage container 13 through the second connection port 122 for storage. This allows for specialized colostrum collection. Because colostrum is in small quantities, the design of the flow channel 124 and the flow channel structure 111 facilitates the flow of colostrum from the collection port 11 to the storage container 13 connected to the second connection port 122. The storage container 13, with a volume of 5-10 mL, is ideal for collecting colostrum. Furthermore, the storage container 13 is equipped with a compatible nipple 16, allowing the colostrum to be collected and stored, and then replaced with the nipple 16 for feeding a newborn premature infant. This method of colostrum collection is convenient and efficient, and facilitates convenient feeding for premature infants.
