Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a simple wound staining device. Background Technology

[0002] Wounds can be classified into acute and chronic wounds. Acute wounds typically refer to all wounds created within the first two weeks of their formation. Common types of acute wounds include surgical incisions, skin abrasions, burns, and donor sites. Chronic wounds occur when adverse factors such as infection or foreign bodies impede the healing process, causing it to partially or completely cease, resulting in a healing time exceeding two weeks. Common chronic wounds include pressure ulcers, lower extremity vascular ulcers (arterial / venous), and diabetic foot ulcers. Pressure ulcers, infected sinuses, and diabetic foot ulcers, in particular, are often heavily contaminated, with multiple bacteria attaching and forming stubborn bacterial biofilms, leading to multidrug resistance and posing a significant challenge to wound treatment.

[0003] In routine wound treatment, without the aid of specialized equipment such as indocyanine green angiography or infrared thermography, it is impossible to accurately mark the inactive and viable tissues in the wound. This can easily lead to insufficient or excessive wound cleaning. Incomplete cleaning can result in failed repair surgery, while excessive cleaning can cause unnecessary tissue damage and bleeding. Both of these can lead to prolonged illness, higher costs, and increased risk of deformities and disabilities, placing a heavy economic burden on patients, their families, and society, and reducing the efficiency of wound cleaning. To address this, we propose a simple wound staining device. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Please see Figure 1-Figure 3This utility model provides a technical solution: a simple wound staining device, including a methylene blue storage cylinder 2, a piston rod 5 movably disposed inside the methylene blue storage cylinder 2, a piston pad 7 disposed at one end of the piston rod 5, and a handle 4 disposed at the other end of the piston rod 5. A nipple 14 is disposed at the end of the methylene blue storage cylinder 2, and a coating structure 1 for absorbing methylene blue solution is detachably disposed on the nipple 14. The coating structure 1 includes a supporting cone 12, on which a needle plug 13 is disposed. The needle plug 13 is detachably connected to the nipple 14, enabling the absorption of methylene blue solution. The vertebral support 12 is easy to disassemble and replace. A conical sponge pad 11 is provided at the bottom of the vertebral support 12 to absorb methylene blue solution and apply it to the wound. A drainage tube 15 is provided at the bottom of the needle plug 13. The drainage tube 15 passes through the vertebral support 12 and fits into the conical sponge pad 11, which can concentrate the methylene blue solution into the conical sponge pad 11. Specifically, the vertebral support 12 is made of non-absorbent plastic material, which is easy for medical staff to hold, and their hands will not be contaminated with methylene blue solution during the holding process.

[0028] In this application, multiple sets of coating structures 1 can be used. When cleaning the wound, the locking structure 3 releases the positioning of the piston rod 5, connects the needle plug 13 to the nipple head 14, and pushes the handle 4. The handle 4 drives the piston rod 5 to move, and the piston rod 5 moves the piston pad 7 within the methylene blue reservoir 2. The methylene blue solution in the methylene blue reservoir 2 is then delivered to the guide tube 15 through the nipple head 14. The guide tube 15 delivers the methylene blue solution to the conical sponge pad 11, which absorbs the methylene blue solution. The methylene blue solution is then applied to the entire wound surface through the conical sponge pad 11. The living tissue area will metabolize the methylene blue into colorless methylene blue, while the inactive area will remain blue. Subsequently, the blue inactive tissue is surgically removed. This allows for rapid marking of living and non-living tissue, avoiding insufficient or excessive wound cleaning and improving wound cleaning efficiency.

[0029] Furthermore, graduation marks 6 are provided on the outer surface of the methylene blue storage tank 2 to facilitate the quantitative output of methylene blue solution.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7The methylene blue storage tank 2 is also equipped with a locking structure 3, which includes a support sleeve 31. The support sleeve 31 is set on the methylene blue storage tank 2, and the piston rod 5 is movably set in the support sleeve 31, which can guide the movement of the piston rod 5. A positioning plate 33 is set on the support sleeve 31, and the positioning plate 33 is connected to the support sleeve 31 through a flexible connecting part 32. A positioning buckle 40 is set on the other side of the positioning plate 33, and the positioning buckle 40 is engaged with the positioning groove 35. The positioning groove 35 is evenly arranged longitudinally on the piston rod 5, which can position the piston rod 5 and prevent the piston rod 5 from accidentally hitting it, causing the methylene blue solution to overflow.

[0032] Before use, the positioning plate 33 can be pushed, and the positioning plate 33 rotates through the flexible connecting part 32. The rotation of the positioning plate 33 drives the positioning buckle 40 to move and lock the positioning buckle 40 into the corresponding positioning groove 35. The positioning buckle 40 can position the piston rod 5, avoiding the situation where the piston rod 5 is accidentally touched and the methylene blue solution overflows before use.

[0033] During use, the positioning plate 33 will cause the positioning buckle 40 to separate from the positioning groove 35, and push the piston rod 5. The piston rod 5 will cause the piston pad 7 to move. When the piston rod 5 moves to the methylene blue solution output position, it will push the positioning plate 33, and the positioning plate 33 will cause the positioning buckle 40 to move and lock the positioning buckle 40 into the corresponding positioning groove 35, and position the piston rod 5.

[0034] Furthermore, the end of the positioning plate 33 is also provided with a snap-fit ​​part 39, which is located in a snap-fit ​​groove 36. The snap-fit ​​groove 36 is located on one side of the outer surface of the support sleeve 31, which can position the installation of the positioning plate 33. An elastic buckle 37 is provided on one side surface of the snap-fit ​​groove 36. One end of the elastic buckle 37 is snapped into an arc-shaped groove 38, which is located on one side surface of the snap-fit ​​part 39. When the piston rod 5 is positioned, the snap-fit ​​part 39 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 36, and at the same time, the snap-fit ​​part 39 compresses the elastic buckle 37. When the snap-fit ​​part 39 is fully inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 36, the elastic buckle 37 snaps into the arc-shaped groove 38, which can fix the snap-fit ​​part 39.

[0035] Furthermore, an adjustment buckle 34 is provided on one side surface of the positioning plate 33 to facilitate the movement of the positioning plate 33.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
