Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical devices, in particular to a wound exudate metering component. Background Art

[0002] Wound assessment provides a basis for medical staff to formulate treatment and care plans and can be used to evaluate treatment and care effectiveness. It is a common medical activity in hospitals. Wound assessment includes multiple aspects, such as wound type, wound location, wound size, depth, and undertow, wound appearance, surrounding skin condition, and wound exudate. Wound exudate includes wound exudate volume, color, nature, and odor.

[0003] Wound exudate level is a crucial aspect of wound assessment. Observing the moistness of the dressing covering the wound provides a rough estimate of wound exudate level. A more accurate assessment of wound exudate level requires weighing the dressing. Subtracting the weight of the dressing before use from the weight of the dressing after use gives the amount of exudate absorbed, indirectly determining wound exudate level.

[0004] The current method of weighing dressings involves clamping them onto a small scale for weighing, which has several drawbacks. When the dressing is moved from the patient's wound to the scale for weighing, exudate absorbed by the dressing may drip, affecting weighing accuracy and causing environmental pollution. Placing the dressing on the scale can also contaminate the scale. While removing the dressing and immediately placing it in a plastic bag, then moving and weighing it, can address these issues, it is also cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a wound exudate metering component which can more easily measure wound exudate.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is: the wound exudate metering component includes a dressing clip and a portable scale with a hook; the dressing clip includes a first clamping rod, a second clamping rod, a hinge shaft, an elastic member, a connecting sleeve, a clip, a tightening screw and a hanging ring; the middle parts of the first clamping rod and the second clamping rod are hinged by the hinge shaft; there are two connecting sleeves, and the two connecting sleeves are respectively connected to the front end of the first clamping rod and the front end of the second clamping rod; there are two clips, the clips include a clip body and a clip rod, the clip rods of the two clips are respectively inserted into the two connecting sleeves and fit in the gap of the connecting sleeves, and the clips are disposable; there are two tightening screws, the two tightening screws are respectively threadedly connected to the two connecting sleeves and tighten the clip rods of the two clips respectively; the elastic member is arranged between the rear parts of the first clamping rod and the second clamping rod, and the elastic force of the elastic member makes the front ends of the two clips close together; the hanging ring is connected to the rear end of the first clamping rod; the hook is used to hook the hanging ring, and the portable scale is used to measure the weight of the dressing clip and the dressing clamped by it.

[0007] Furthermore, the connecting sleeve connected to the first clamping rod is inclined toward the second clamping rod; and the connecting sleeve connected to the second clamping rod is coaxial with the second clamping rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the tightening screw is perpendicular to a plane defined by the axis of the first clamping rod and the axis of the second clamping rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the elastic member is a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the hinge shaft, and two torsion arms of the torsion spring respectively abut against the first clamping rod and the second clamping rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the cross section of the clip rod is a square.

[0011] Furthermore, the rear portion of the second clamping rod is inclined in a direction away from the first clamping rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the material of the clip is plastic, and the material of the remaining parts of the dressing clip is stainless steel.

[0013] Furthermore, the wound exudate metering assembly includes a receiving box, which has three receiving cavities therein, and the three receiving cavities are used to place a dressing clip, a portable scale and a spare clip respectively.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: when the present invention is used, Figure 3 First, clamp the dressing with a dressing clip as shown; then Figure 4 As shown, the scale hook is hooked onto the hanging loop and the scale is lifted. Once the dressing is removed from the wound, the scale directly measures the dressing weight.

[0022] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the wound exudate metering assembly includes a dressing clip 1 and a portable scale 2 with a hook 21; the dressing clip 1 includes a first clamping rod 11, a second clamping rod 12, a hinge shaft 13, an elastic member 14, a connecting sleeve 15, a clip 16, a tightening screw 17 and a hanging ring 18; the middle parts of the first clamping rod 11 and the second clamping rod 12 are hinged by the hinge shaft 13; there are two connecting sleeves 15, and the two connecting sleeves 15 are respectively connected to the front end of the first clamping rod 11 and the front end of the second clamping rod 12; there are two clips 16, and the clip 16 includes a clip body 162 and a clip rod 161, and the clips of the two clips 16 are The sheet rod 161 is respectively inserted into the two connecting sleeves 15 and is loosely fitted with the connecting sleeves 15, and the clip 16 is disposable; there are two tightening screws 17, which are respectively threadedly connected to the two connecting sleeves 15 and tighten the clip rod 161 of the two clips 16; the elastic member 14 is arranged between the rear parts of the first clamping rod 11 and the second clamping rod 12, and the elastic force of the elastic member 14 makes the front ends of the two clips 16 tightly attached; the hanging ring 18 is connected to the rear end of the first clamping rod 11; the hook 21 is used to hook the hanging ring 18, and the portable scale 2 is used to measure the weight of the dressing clip 1 and the dressing 4 clamped therein.

[0024] When the utility model is used, Figure 3 As shown, first clamp the dressing 4 with the dressing clip 1; then Figure 4 As shown, the hook 21 of the portable scale 2 is hooked onto the hanging ring 18, and the portable scale 2 is lifted. Once the dressing 4 is removed from the wound, the portable scale 2 directly measures the weight of the dressing 4. Compared to existing technologies, this eliminates the need to move the dressing 4. Because the measurement speed is fast, dripping of exudate that could affect measurement accuracy is largely avoided, resulting in both convenience and accuracy.

[0025] Since clip 16 comes into contact with dressing 4 and the patient's wound, it can become contaminated after a single use. While it can be sterilized and reused on the next patient, this is cumbersome. Therefore, clip 16 is preferably disposable to ensure cleanliness and sterility, and to prevent infection from contact with the patient's wound. Place the dressing clip 1 upright and slightly loosen the jacking screw 17. Due to the clearance between clip rod 161 and connecting sleeve 15, the clip 16 automatically slides out of the connecting sleeve 15 after the jacking screw 17 is loosened, allowing the clip 16 to be removed. Place the dressing clip 1 upside down, insert clip rod 161 into the connecting sleeve 15, and tighten the jacking screw 17. The new clip 16 is now installed.

[0026] The clip 16 should be made of low-cost materials, preferably plastic, because it is disposable. The remaining parts of the dressing clip 1 are reused and should be more durable, preferably stainless steel.

[0027] Specifically, it is preferred that the connecting sleeve 15 connected to the first clamping rod 11 is inclined toward the second clamping rod 12; the connecting sleeve 15 connected to the second clamping rod 12 is coaxial with the second clamping rod 12. Figure 4 As shown, when the dressing clip 1 clamps the dressing 4, the clip 16 connected to the first clamping rod 11 can roughly adhere to the skin around the wound so as to be inserted under the dressing 4. At this time, the first clamping rod 11 is tilted upward to avoid contact with the patient's skin.

[0028] The tightening screw 17 should not be connected to the side of the first clamping rod 11 facing away from the second clamping rod 12, because this would cause the tightening screw 17 to face the patient's skin when the dressing clip 1 is in use, making it more likely to come into contact with the patient's skin. It is also not advisable to connect the tightening screw 17 to the side of the first clamping rod 11 facing the second clamping rod 12, because this would interfere with the second clamping rod 12 when the tightening screw 17 is tightened by hand. Therefore, the tightening screw 17 is preferably perpendicular to the plane defined by the axis of the first clamping rod 11 and the axis of the second clamping rod 12 to avoid this problem.

[0029] Specifically, the elastic member 14 is preferably a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the hinge shaft 13 , and two torsion arms of the torsion spring respectively abut against the first clamping rod 11 and the second clamping rod 12 .

[0030] Specifically, the cross-section of the clip rod 161 is preferably square, and the inner hole of the connecting sleeve 15 is also square accordingly. This is convenient for ensuring that the direction of the clip body 162 is correct and also prevents the clip 16 from rotating and changing direction.

[0031] Specifically, the rear portion of the second clamping rod 12 is preferably tilted away from the first clamping rod 11. This arrangement has the following significance: the rotation angle of the second clamping rod 12 can be larger, the distance between the two clips 16 can be larger, and it is easier to clamp the dressing 4.

[0032] The portable scale 2 adopts the existing technology, preferably an electronic portable scale. The weight value displayed by the electronic portable scale is preferably the value after deducting the weight of the dressing clip 1, that is, directly displays the weight of the auxiliary material 4.

[0033] As mentioned above, the clip 16 is used once, so the present invention needs to be equipped with many spare clips 16. In order to facilitate the collection and placement of the various components of the wound exudate metering assembly for easy carrying, the wound exudate metering assembly preferably includes a storage box 3, which has three storage cavities. The three storage cavities are used to place the dressing clip 1, the portable scale 2 and the spare clip 16 respectively.
