Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical instruments and equipment, in particular to an improved gastrointestinal decompression tube. Background Art

[0002] The modified gastrointestinal decompression tube is a medical device primarily used to treat gastrointestinal disorders, particularly when relieving pressure within the GI tract is necessary. Certain GI conditions, such as gastroesophageal reflux, intestinal obstruction, or during postoperative recovery, can lead to excess gas or fluid accumulation in the GI tract, causing discomfort or pain. A gastrointestinal decompression tube can help expel this gas and fluid, alleviating symptoms. Traditional gastrointestinal decompression tubes may present challenges, such as damage to the GI lining, inadequate monitoring capabilities, and low patient comfort. The modified gastrointestinal decompression tube aims to address these issues. The modified gastrointestinal decompression tube features enhanced functionality and safety, including silicone contact tips, slots, device tubing, and pressure and temperature sensors. These innovations help better adapt to the patient's anatomy, minimize trauma, and provide real-time monitoring capabilities. The modified gastrointestinal decompression tube utilizes biocompatible materials, such as silicone, to minimize irritation and damage to the patient's GI tract. Durability and infection resistance were also considered in the material selection. Bioengineering principles were applied in the design of the modified gastrointestinal decompression tube to ensure compatibility with the human anatomy, while also enhancing patient comfort and treatment effectiveness.

[0003] In actual use, the lack of a temperature sensor makes it impossible to monitor the temperature of the gastrointestinal tract, which in some cases may affect the judgment of the patient's condition and the evaluation of the treatment effect. If there is no uniform groove design, the lubricating fluid may not be evenly distributed on the inner wall of the decompression tube, resulting in poor lubrication effect, increased friction, and discomfort to the patient. There is no specific design for fixing the decompression tube, which may cause the decompression tube to shift easily during use, affecting the decompression effect. The lack of grooves and other designs may make cleaning and maintenance of the decompression tube more difficult, increasing the risk of infection. Utility Model Content
