[0002] Medical three-way connectors are commonly used in clinical nursing work. They are also widely used in the medical field. They are usually used in conjunction with other medical devices for intravenous injection, infusion, blood transfusion, etc. When the patient has many infusion and intravenous pump lines, especially critically ill patients, at least two or even more lines are used.

[0003] In actual work, the tee should be connected to the infusion tube, extension tube, connecting tube, etc. If the tee is used directly, the medical tee connector will cause local compression on the patient's skin when the patient turns over, affecting the patient's comfort. At the same time, the pressure lasts for a long time, which will cause the compressed skin, mucous membrane or subcutaneous tissue to suffer varying degrees of damage, forming device-related pressure injury. The commonly used method is to wrap it with sterile gauze and then fix it with tape, but it may not be fixed tightly, the gauze is easy to shift, and it may be fixed too tightly, which increases the nursing workload when replacing the infusion tube or extension tube.

[0024] In order to better explain the present invention and facilitate understanding, the present invention is described in detail below through specific implementation methods in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the three-way protective cover of the present invention includes an upper pad 1 and a lower pad 2. A bottom pad 3 is adhered to the middle of the upper surface of the lower pad 2. A restraining mechanism 4 is provided on the top of the lower pad 2 around the four sides of the bottom pad 3. The upper pad 1 and the lower pad 2 are made of sponge. In actual implementation, by setting the upper pad 1, the lower pad 2, and the restraining mechanism 4, the three-way pipe joint is placed into the embedded groove. Then, the first adhesive layer 44 and the second adhesive layer 45 are adhered together, so that the strap 43 presses the three-way pipe, thereby fixing the three-way pipe to prevent it from being pulled or falling off. Then, the upper pad 1 and the lower pad 2 are closed. The upper pad 1 and the lower pad 2 can cushion the joint of the medical three-way, preventing it from direct hard contact with the patient's skin and reducing the pressure it exerts on the skin.

[0026] Optionally, the restraining mechanism 4 includes a sleeve pad 41, with extension pads 42 fixedly connected to both sides and the middle of the front of the sleeve pad 41. A strap 43 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the extension pad 42. A first adhesive layer 44 is fixedly connected to the surface of one side of the strap 43. A second adhesive layer 45 is fixedly connected to the other side of the upper surface of the extension pad 42. A tube clamp 46 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the extension pad 42. In actual implementation, the three-way pipe joint is placed in the embedding groove, then the three-way pipe joint is extended onto the extension pad 42. The first adhesive layer 44 and the second adhesive layer 45 are then adhered to each other, so that the strap 43 tightly presses the three-way pipe joint. The infusion tube extending from the three-way pipe joint then passes through the tube clamps 46 in three directions. The tube clamps 46 organize the infusion tube to prevent bending that affects the normal use of the infusion tube.

[0027] Optionally, a recessed groove is formed on the top of the base pad 3, and first hook-and-loop fasteners 5 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the lower pad 2. In actual implementation, the recessed groove is used to place the three-way pipe joint. The first hook-and-loop fasteners 5 then facilitate the connection of the lower pad 2 with the upper pad 1. The connection of the lower pad 2 and the upper pad 1 cushions the pressure of the three-way pipe joint and prevents it from hitting the patient's skin.

[0028] Optionally, the upper pad 1 and the lower pad 2 are connected by an elastic band 6, with the ends of the elastic band 6 being fixedly connected to one side of the upper pad 1 and the lower pad 2, respectively. The upper pad 1 and the lower pad 2 are both made of soft materials. In actual implementation, the elastic band 6 is provided to connect the upper pad 1 and the lower pad 2. Because the elastic band 6 is soft, the upper pad 1 and the lower pad 2 can be easily folded, combined, or unfolded at any time to connect the upper pad 1 and the lower pad 2 into one piece, which is convenient for operation.

[0029] Optionally, a cover pad 7 is attached to the middle of the bottom of the upper mat 1, and second hook-and-loop fasteners 8 are fixedly attached to the four corners of the bottom of the upper mat 1. In actual implementation, the second hook-and-loop fasteners 8 are attached to the first hook-and-loop fasteners 5, allowing the upper mat 1 and the lower mat 2 to combine to wrap the three-way pipe joint and protect it. The cover pad 7, used in conjunction with the bottom mat 3, further strengthens the protection of the three-way pipe joint and enhances the cushioning and protective capabilities of the protective cover.

[0030] Optionally, the first adhesive layer 44 is bonded to the second adhesive layer 45, and a recess is provided on one side of the tube clamp 46. In practice, the recess facilitates insertion of the infusion extension tube into the tube clamp 46, which acts as a guide for the infusion tube to prevent it from bending.

[0031] Optionally, the adhesive surface of the first Velcro 5 is adhered to the adhesive surface of the first Velcro 5, and ventilation holes are provided on the surfaces of the upper pad 1 and the lower pad 2. In actual implementation, the ventilation holes are provided to enhance the breathability of the protective cover.

[0032] To sum up, when using the three-way protective cover, first place the three-way pipe joint into the embedded groove, then extend the three-way pipe joint onto the extension pad 42, and then stick the first adhesive layer 44 and the second adhesive layer 45 together, so that the strap 43 tightly presses the three-way pipe joint, and then fixes the three-way pipe to avoid pulling and falling off. Then the infusion tube extending from the three-way pipe joint is respectively inserted into the tube clamp 46, and passes through the tube clamp 46 from three directions. The tube clamp 46 has a combing effect on the infusion tube to avoid bending. Then the second Velcro 8 is stuck to the first Velcro 5, so that the upper pad 1 and the lower pad 2 are combined to wrap the three-way pipe joint, protect the three-way pipe joint, and avoid pressing the patient's skin. The setting of the cover pad 7 and the use of the cover pad 7 in conjunction with the bottom pad 3 further strengthen the protection of the three-way pipe joint and enhance the buffering protection ability of the protective cover.

[0033] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention, and the standard parts used in the present invention can be purchased from the market, and special-shaped parts can be customized according to the description in the specification and the drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional means such as mature bolts, rivets, welding, etc. in the existing technology. The machinery, parts and equipment all adopt conventional models in the existing technology, and the circuit connection adopts the conventional connection method in the existing technology, which will not be described in detail here.
