Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically a nasogastric tube fixing device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the continuous development of oral and maxillofacial surgery, enteral nutrition is often provided to patients with malignant tumors of the oral and maxillofacial region to ensure their postoperative nutritional status. This requires the placement of a nasogastric tube. The insertion process is uncomfortable, and since the nasogastric tube is the primary source of nutrition for these patients, its fixation is crucial. Clinically, 3M tape and sterile dressings are commonly used to fix the nasogastric tube. However, these methods all have various drawbacks: they are cumbersome to manufacture, have weak adhesion, are easily damaged by patient skin secretions (sweat, oil), can cause skin allergies, and the tube is prone to slippage, posing safety risks and increasing patient pain and discomfort. In conclusion, there is currently no unified and effective fixation device to prevent nasogastric tube slippage. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a nasogastric tube fixation device that is low in cost, simple to operate, and highly practical, thus solving the current clinical problem of the lack of an effective fixation device to prevent nasogastric tube slippage.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0005] A nasogastric tube fixation device includes a body, a high-adhesion adhesive, a foam dressing strip, and two symmetrically arranged Velcro fasteners. One Velcro fastener is fixed to the body, with the high-adhesion adhesive fixed in the middle. A film is provided on the high-adhesion adhesive. In use, the film is torn off, the nasogastric tube is adhered to the film, and then locked again through one end of the Velcro fastener. Fixing holes are opened at both ends of the body. One end of the other Velcro fastener is fixed to the foam dressing strip, and the other end passes through the two fixing holes and is adhered above the Velcro fastener. The foam dressing strip is fixed to the patient's head.

[0006] Furthermore, the body is made of silicone rubber.

[0007] Furthermore, during use, one end of one of the Velcro fasteners in the middle is wrapped around the nasogastric tube and fixed to the opposite end.

[0008] Furthermore, the foam dressing strip sequentially includes a first connecting section, a first adhesive section, a fixing section, a second adhesive section, and a second connecting section; the first connecting section and the second connecting section are respectively connected to one end of another Velcro fastener; the fixing section consists of two dressing strips, one of which wraps around the patient's ear and the other wraps around the patient's lower ear.

[0009] Furthermore, two fixing straps are provided on the first adhesive section for further fixing the nasogastric tube.
