Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical technology, and in particular to an improved light-proof cover for patients with micropumps. Background Technology
[0002] In clinical medication use, some drugs (such as sodium nitroprusside, nitroglycerin, levofloxacin, and water-soluble vitamins) are unstable to light. Improper handling during use can cause degradation or polymerization reactions, resulting in changes such as discoloration, turbidity, darkening of color, or even precipitation. Inadequate light protection can lead to reduced efficacy or even the formation of toxic substances. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the drug from light during injection and preparation. However, currently, indwelling needles without light-protection features are commonly used in clinical practice. Since commonly used indwelling needles are made of transparent polymer materials, medications requiring light protection are typically covered with silver foil or black cloth, usually secured with multiple strips of adhesive tape. This process is cumbersome, and the tape is prone to detachment. Furthermore, during infusion, checking the indwelling needle requires removing the black cloth or silver foil for inspection and re-secured, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, the purpose of this invention is to provide an improved light-shielding sleeve for patients with micro-pumps, which can protect the indwelling needle from light, facilitate fixation, and allow for easy monitoring of the indwelling needle's condition.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] An improved light-shielding cover for patients using micropumps mainly includes a rectangular fabric sheet. Multiple connecting straps are installed on one side of the fabric sheet along its width. The connecting straps have Velcro closures on both the front and back. Two thumb holes are provided on the fabric sheet, located at opposite ends along its width and near one end along its length. A viewing opening is provided on the fabric sheet, near the end containing the thumb holes. A detachable cover is installed on the upper surface of the fabric sheet, and this cover is mounted on the viewing opening. The size of the cover is larger than the viewing opening. Multiple base fabrics are installed on the lower surface of the cover. One side of each base fabric is connected to the lower surface of the cover, and the other side is a free side facing the edge of the cover. A set of fixing structures is installed on the lower surface of the cover and the upper surface of each base fabric. The base fabric is located at the lower end of the fabric sheet, and the cover is located at the upper surface of the fabric sheet.
[0006] Furthermore, the fabric is made of mesh fabric, and multiple ventilation holes are provided on the fabric.
[0007] Furthermore, the fabric piece and the baffle piece are of the same color.
[0008] Furthermore, the connecting strip is an elastic strip.
[0009] Furthermore, a plurality of belt loops are installed on the upper end face of the fabric piece, the belt loops are arranged along the length direction of the fabric piece, and each of the connecting belts is threaded through a belt loop.
[0010] Furthermore, a buffer washer is installed on the edge of the thumb hole.
[0011] Furthermore, the fixing structure includes a female buckle and a male buckle. The female buckle is installed on the lower end face of the backing fabric near the edge, and the male buckle is installed on the upper end face of the bottom fabric near the free side. Each female buckle is connected to one male buckle.
[0012] Furthermore, the fixing structure includes two magnetic snaps. One magnetic snap is installed on the lower end face of the cover near the edge, and another magnetic snap is installed on the upper end face of the bottom cover near the free side. The two magnetic snaps attract each other.
[0013] Furthermore, anti-slip strips are installed at both ends of the lower end face of the fabric in the length direction.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] After the indwelling needle is secured, the medical staff wraps a cloth around the patient's hand. If the needle is on the back of the hand, depending on whether it's in the left or right hand, the patient's thumb is inserted into the corresponding thumb hole. The viewing port on the cloth is then on the back of the hand, exposing the needle. If the needle is in the arm, the viewing port is simply aligned with the needle. The cloth, fixed to the viewing port, acts as a light shield, reducing the impact of light on the medication. The needle can be viewed by opening the cloth through the securing mechanism. After wrapping the cloth around the patient's hand, a connecting strap is used to secure it to the patient's hand. Attached Figure Description

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0026] A specific embodiment, as shown in the figure, represents a preferred embodiment of this utility model. An improved light-shielding cover for patients using micropumps mainly includes a rectangular fabric piece 1. Multiple connecting straps 2 are installed on one side of the fabric piece 1 along its width. The connecting straps 2 have Velcro closures on both the front and back. Two thumb holes 6 are provided on the fabric piece 1, located at opposite ends along its width and near one end along its length. A viewing opening is provided on the fabric piece 1, near the end containing the thumb holes 6. The upper end of the fabric piece 1... A detachable baffle 4 is installed on the viewing port. The baffle 4 is larger than the viewing port. Multiple base fabrics 7 are installed on the lower end face of the baffle 4. One side of the base fabric 7 is connected to the lower end face of the baffle 4, and the other side of the base fabric 7 is a free side. The free side of the base fabric 7 faces the edge of the baffle 4. A set of fixing structures is installed on the lower end face of the baffle 4 and the upper end face of each base fabric 7. The base fabric 7 is located at the lower end of the fabric piece 1, and the baffle 4 is located at the upper end face of the fabric piece 1.
[0027] In the specific implementation of this utility model, after medical staff have inserted an indwelling needle into the patient's hand, before wrapping the hand with the cloth piece 1, they first install the cover 4 on the visible opening of the cloth piece 1 using a fixing structure, then roll the cloth piece 1 around the patient's hand so that the visible opening is aligned with the position of the indwelling needle. Then, they use the connecting strap 2 to fix the cloth piece 1 to the hand. The cover 4 is made of opaque fabric to block light. However, the method differs slightly when the indwelling needle is on the back of the hand or the arm. The difference is that if the indwelling needle is on the back of the hand, even if the connecting strap 2 is used to fix the cloth piece 1, when the patient moves their hand, such as bending the palm or spreading the fingers, the cloth piece 1 may shrink to one side of the arm, causing the visible opening on the cloth piece 1 to shift. The cover 4 fixed to the visible opening will then not properly cover the indwelling needle. Therefore, a thumb hole 6 is provided on the cloth piece 1. Because the indwelling needle may be located in the left hand or the right hand, two thumb holes 6 are provided, and the appropriate thumb hole 6 can be selected according to the actual situation. The patient's thumb is inserted into the thumb hole 6. When the patient's hand is bent or the fingers are spread, the fabric piece 1 is secured to the thumb in the thumb hole 6, acting as a limit. The connecting strap 2 also secures the fabric piece 1 to the patient's hand, preventing it from retracting to one side of the arm. Furthermore, the length of the fabric piece 1 can wrap around the wrist, and the connecting strap 2 provides a more stable fixation. Moreover, when the fabric piece 1 covers the palm, the two sides of the fabric piece 1 overlap in the width direction, ensuring a good wrap around the hand. In use, one side of the connecting strap 2 on the fabric piece 1 overlaps the other side. When using multiple connecting straps 2 to secure the fabric piece 1, each strap 2 is wound around the hand at least once and then attached to the Velcro on the free end of the strap 2, thus securing the fabric piece 1 to the patient's hand. This method of using the connecting strap 2 for securing the fabric piece 1 is suitable for patients with different arm sizes. Furthermore, the multiple connecting straps 2 on the cloth piece 1, with two of them located at each end of the cloth piece 1, can better secure both ends of the cloth piece 1, making it less likely for the ends of the cloth piece 1 to open. If the patient's indwelling needle is located in the arm, the same operation can be performed, except that the thumb hole 6 is not needed. The cloth piece 1 is simply wrapped around the patient's arm, so that the cover 4 is directly facing the position of the indwelling needle. This makes it easy to open the cover 4 after opening the fixation structure, allowing direct observation of the indwelling needle.
[0028] Furthermore, the fabric piece 1 is made of mesh fabric, and multiple ventilation holes 3 are provided on the fabric piece 1. Because the fabric piece 1 is wrapped around the patient's hand, it can be quite stuffy in hot weather. The ventilation holes 3 on the mesh fabric allow for air circulation, improving comfort.
[0029] Furthermore, the fabric piece 1 and the baffle are made of the same color, such as the dark green commonly seen in hospitals. The same color makes it look less jarring and more comfortable.
[0030] Furthermore, the connecting strap 2 is made of elastic material, which has a certain degree of elasticity. When fixed, the connecting strap 2 is slightly taut, which makes it more stable and less prone to slippage during use.
[0031] Furthermore, multiple loops 5 are installed on the upper surface of the fabric piece 1. These loops 5 are arranged along the length of the fabric piece 1, and each connecting strap 2 is threaded through one of the loops. The connecting strap 2, threaded within the loops 5, acts as a limiting element, preventing the connecting strap 2 from shifting and thus better securing the fabric piece 1. There are two methods for securing the fabric piece 1. The first method is that the connecting strap 2, threaded within the loops 5, has its free end wrapped around the patient's hand. The second method is that after threading the connecting strap 2 through the loops 5, its free end is folded back and secured to the Velcro strap itself. In this case, the loops 5 not only restrict the connecting strap 2 from sliding to the sides but also act as a point of leverage, ensuring that both ends of the fabric piece 1 are secured to the patient's hand by the loops 5 and the connecting straps 2, preventing it from easily coming loose.
[0032] Furthermore, a cushioning washer is installed on the edge of the thumb hole 6 to improve comfort and prevent the thumb from being squeezed uncomfortably.
[0033] Furthermore, the fixing structure includes a female buckle and a male buckle. The female buckle is installed on the lower end face of the cover fabric 4 near the edge, and the male buckle is installed on the upper end face of the base fabric 7 near the free side. Each female buckle is connected to one male buckle. The cover fabric 4 is clamped onto the fabric piece 1 by multiple sets of fixing structures. Further, to make the fixing structure more stable, fixing holes are provided on the fabric piece 1, allowing the male buckle to pass through the fixing holes and connect with the female buckle. When the fabric piece 1 is made of mesh fabric, the ventilation holes 3 on the mesh fabric can serve as fixing holes, eliminating the need for additional fixing holes. When it is necessary to open the cover fabric 4, the male and female buckles on the cover fabric 4 are opened, separating the base fabric 7 from the cover fabric 4. It is not necessary to open all the fixing structures; opening a portion of the fixing structures allows the cover fabric 4 to be lifted, saving time. The male buckle of the fixing structure is installed on the base fabric 7, and the base fabric 7 is installed on the cover fabric 4. When the fixing structure is opened, the male buckle of the fixing structure remains on the base fabric 7, making it less likely to be lost.
[0034] Furthermore, the fixing structure includes two magnetic snaps. One magnetic snap is installed on the lower end face of the cover fabric near the edge, and another magnetic snap is installed on the upper end face of the base fabric 7 near the free side. The two magnetic snaps attract each other. The cover fabric 4 is clamped onto the base fabric 7 by the mutual attraction between the two magnetic snaps on the lower end face of the cover fabric 4 and the upper end face of the base fabric 7, eliminating the need for fixing holes in the fabric piece 1 and making it more convenient to use.
[0035] Furthermore, anti-slip strips are installed at both ends of the lower end face of the cloth piece 1 in the length direction. When the cloth piece 1 is rolled around the patient's hand, the anti-slip strips can increase the friction and reduce the chance of the cloth piece 1 sliding.
[0036] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made under the technical spirit of the present utility model should fall within the patent scope covered by the present utility model.
