Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to a PICC central venous catheter fixer. Background Art

[0002] A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) provides safe and convenient venous access for cancer patients. Its tip is located in the superior vena cava or subclavian vein, effectively preventing vascular damage associated with long-term infusions of fluids or chemotherapy drugs while also minimizing local tissue irritation. It is currently the most widely recommended intravenous infusion method in clinical practice. However, problems such as catheter blockage and partial dislodgement can occur during use due to various factors, such as improper care and lack of patient knowledge. Catheter dislodgement occurs in an incidence of 5%-31%, hindering clinical practice. To prevent catheter dislodgement and migration during treatment, various methods are currently available to secure the catheter to the patient. Common catheter fixation methods include external suturing, bandage fixation, and adhesive tape fixation. External suturing involves suturing the external portion of the catheter to the skin with surgical sutures to prevent dislodgement. Disadvantages of external suturing include prolonged suturing time and the tedious process of repeated skin punctures and knot tying, which increases pain for the patient. It also leaves suture scars on the skin, which are aesthetically pleasing and can cause significant psychological burden. Bandage fixation also requires knotting, making the procedure cumbersome and the removal process complex. Adhesive strip fixation is prone to dislodging and causing mechanical phlebitis.

[0003] Currently, there are central venous catheter (CVC) holders on the market that can address these issues to a certain extent. However, most lack axis adjustment, are unable to secure a wide range of CVCs, and are therefore not suitable for a wide range of applications. Furthermore, most CVC holders currently utilize a double-opening structure with the latch located in the middle, leaving a small accessible area and making it difficult for fingers to operate.

[0040] The device further includes an application patch 24, the buckle seat 1 is connected to the upper end surface of the application patch 24, and the lower end surface of the application patch 24 is the application surface.

[0041] Specifically, the device is mainly used to fix a PICC central venous catheter. The device mainly consists of a patch 24, a buckle shell, a sliding positioning pin 4 and other structures. The patch 24 is a butterfly-shaped sheet with an application surface on the bottom, which is used to stick to the patient's skin for fixation.

[0042] A buckle shell is fixedly attached to the center of the patch 24. The buckle shell is wide in the left-right direction and short in the front-to-back direction, and its two sides are arc-shaped and convex outwards. The buckle shell is composed of a buckle base 1 and a buckle cover 2. A vertical edge structure 22 is set on the four peripheries of the buckle base 1. The buckle base 1 is divided into a fixed area and a snap-on area. These two areas are separated by a reinforced vertical edge 23 in the front-to-back direction. The vertical edge structure 22 and the reinforced vertical edge 23 are both used to increase the structural strength of the buckle base 1.

[0043] In the fixing area of ​​the buckle seat 1, a notch of a certain width is designed in the middle of the vertical edge structure 22 in the front-to-back direction. A cylindrical fixed positioning pin 3 of a certain length is fixed vertically upward on the left side of the bottom surface of the buckle seat 1 in this area.

The inner center of the fan-shaped clearance groove 6 is located at the front side of the bottom surface, and a through-hole 7 is provided on the bottom surface directly above the center.

[0044] In the buckle area of ​​the buckle seat 1, a latching tooth 18 is provided at the top end of the right vertical side structure 22 in this area toward the inside, and the latching tooth 18 extends in the front-to-back direction.

[0045] The upper end of the vertical side structure 22 on the left side of the buckle seat 1 is connected to the buckle cover 2 through an arc-shaped bending section. The inner side of the bending section is designed as a deformation clearance groove 14 that is an arc-shaped recessed groove that runs through the front and back, and a deformation angle groove 15 that runs through the front and back is provided at the middle section of the deformation clearance groove 14. The deformation clearance groove 14 and the deformation angle groove 15 allow the buckle cover 2 to be opened and closed at will at the deformation section position. A recessed circular clearance groove 12 and an arc-shaped clearance groove 13 are provided on the lower end surface of the buckle cover 2. When the buckle cover 2 is closed, the circular clearance groove 12 is vertically opposite to the fixed positioning pin 3, and the arc-shaped clearance groove 13 is vertically opposite to the arc-shaped slide groove 5. The circular clearance groove 12 is a circular recessed groove of a certain depth that plays a role in giving way to the fixed positioning pin 3. The arc-shaped clearance groove 13 has the same curvature and width as the arc-shaped slide groove 5, and is recessed to a certain depth inside the lower end surface of the buckle cover 2. A V-shaped spring flap 16 is integrally fixedly connected to the right side of the buckle cover 2 , and a ratchet 17 is fixedly provided outwardly on the right side of the V-shaped spring flap 16 . The ratchet 17 is used to engage with the locking teeth 18 of the buckle seat 1 .

[0046] The V-shaped spring flap 16 has certain elastic deformation characteristics. When the buckle cover 2 is closed downward, the V-shaped spring flap 16 is compressed by the latch 18 through the ratchet 17, and the angular elasticity of the V-shaped spring flap 16 decreases. When the ratchet 17 is squeezed and moved to the lower part of the latch 18, the V-shaped spring flap 16 is elastically released and reset. The latch 18 has a locking effect on the ratchet 17, so that the buckle cover 2 is in a closed state. A hand-held flap 19 facing upward and outward is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the V-shaped spring flap 16 to facilitate the finger to press inward to open the buckle cover 2. A compression cotton 20 is glued and fixed to the lower end surface of the buckle cover 2 in the area between the circular groove 12 and the arc-shaped groove 13. The compression cotton 20 is a sponge with a sheet structure of a certain thickness, which is used to compress and fix the PICC central venous catheter fixed inside. A reinforcing rib 21 is provided on the upper end surface of the buckle cover 2.

[0047] A sliding positioning pin 4 is provided at the fan-shaped clearance groove 6 and the arc-shaped slide groove 5 of the buckle seat 1. The sliding positioning pin 4 includes a vertical axial pin rod 8 of a certain length. The lower end of the pin rod 8 is fixedly connected to a horizontal connecting rod 9. The other end of the connecting rod 9 is fixedly connected upward to a shorter rotating shaft 10. The upper end of the rotating shaft 10 is designed with a hemispherical structure 11 similar to a mushroom head. The rotating shaft 10 is inserted into the circular hole 7 of the buckle seat 1. The sliding positioning pin 4 can rotate with the circular hole 7 as the center of the circle. The pin rod 8 slides in the arc-shaped slide groove 5 of the buckle seat 1, and the connecting rod 9 swings in the fan-shaped clearance groove 6. As the sliding positioning pin 4 swings, the pin rod 8 slides in the arc-shaped slide groove 5, and the distance between the pin rods 8 of the fixed positioning pin 3 and the sliding positioning pin 4 can be flexibly adjusted.

[0048] When the device is needed to fix the PICC central venous catheter, the device is attached to the skin of the patient at the central venous catheter wing, the hand-held flap 19 is opened to open the buckle cover 2, the catheter wing is placed in the buckle seat 1, the pin rod 8 of the sliding positioning pin 4 is slid to adjust the distance between the fixed positioning pin 3 and the sliding positioning pin 4, the distance between the two positioning holes of the catheter wing is just corresponding to the distance between the two positioning holes of the catheter wing, the two positioning holes of the catheter wing are inserted into the pin rod 8 of the fixed positioning pin 3 and the sliding positioning pin 4, so that the catheter plays a positioning role through the wing positioning hole, the buckle cover 2 is closed and the ratchet 17 is clamped with the clamping tooth 18, and the compression cotton 20 at the lower end of the buckle cover 2 is compressed on the catheter wing, so that the fixing effect of the PICC central venous catheter is completed.

[0049] The innovative technical points and beneficial effects of the utility model are at least:

[0050] 1. The distance between the two positioning pins in the buckle seat 1 is adjusted in an arc swinging mode of the sliding positioning pin 4. It is used to adapt to the distance between the two positioning holes of the PICC central venous catheter wing of different specifications, greatly increasing the universality of the catheter. The rotating shaft 10 is used as the rotation center, and the connecting rod 9 drives the pin rod 8 to rotate. Compared with the traditional fixed device which cannot be adjusted or adjusted in a straight line, the structure is more stable and is not easy to be skewed.

[0051] 2. The buckle cover 2 of the buckle shell adopts a one-sided bending connection opening and closing compression fixing mode. Compared with the traditional structure opening and closing mode of left and right double covers, the device only needs to be compressed once to complete the compression fixing of the PICC central venous catheter. Compared with the traditional two-closing compression mode, the efficiency is higher, and the useless operation is reduced.

[0052] 3. The hand-controlled buckle opening structure of the buckle cover 2 and the buckle seat 1 is separately placed on the right side of the device, so that the fingers of the operating doctor have enough space to control the hand-held flap 19 to open the buckle cover 2. Compared with the traditional fixed device in which the hand-controlled buckle opening structure is in the middle, the operation area space is too small, and the fingers are not easy to operate. Compared with the traditional fixed device, the device greatly improves the convenience of hand-controlled operation.

[0053] 4. The device has a simplified structure, only two parts need to be opened, the production cost is low, and the assembly difficulty is low. Compared with the traditional fixed device, the device simplifies the production difficulty and greatly reduces the cost.

[0054] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary technical personnel in the technical field, without departing from the principle of the utility model, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should be regarded as the protection range of the utility model.
