AI Technical Summary
Existing T-tubes for bile ducts are prone to being accidentally pulled out during use, causing bile to enter the abdominal cavity and triggering septic shock.
A novel device for preventing T-tube detachment has been designed. By setting a connector between the T-tube and the drainage tube, and providing a snap and adhesive layer on the connector, it is ensured that the tube will automatically detach when pulled by external force, thus preventing the T-tube from being pulled out of the common bile duct.
It effectively prevents the T-tube from being accidentally pulled out of the bile duct, avoids bile from flowing into the abdominal cavity, reduces the risk of infection, and is suitable for connecting drainage tubes in the bile duct, pleural cavity, and abdominal cavity.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a novel device for preventing T-tube detachment. Background Technology
[0002] A T-tube is a drainage device placed in the common bile duct after choledochotomy. It not only provides support and prevents postoperative biliary stricture, but also allows for bile duct exploration and stone removal via a choledochoscope through the abdominal sinus tract after removal of the T-tube. However, clinically, patients often accidentally pull out the T-tube 2-3 days post-surgery, leading to bile entering the abdominal cavity and causing biliary peritonitis, which can even result in septic shock in severe cases. This is because the T-tube is directly connected to the drainage bag connector on the outer side of the abdominal cavity, and the connection is tight. Pulling on the disposable drainage tube may pull the T-tube out of the common bile duct, causing bile to flow into the abdominal cavity. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the technical problem in the prior art that the T-tube is easily pulled out of the common bile duct, this utility model provides a novel device to prevent the T-tube from falling off.
[0004] To achieve the above technical solution, this utility model provides a novel anti-T-tube detachment device, comprising a T-tube and a drainage tube. One end of the T-tube is provided with a T-shaped drainage device, and the other end of the T-tube is connected to the drainage tube; the other end of the drainage tube is connected to a drainage bag. A connector is provided between the T-tube and the drainage tube, and the T-tube and the drainage tube are connected through the connector.
[0005] Furthermore, the connector on the T-tube is equipped with a snap fastener, and the connector on the drainage tube is equipped with a retaining ring that matches the snap fastener.
[0006] Furthermore, the two connectors are glued together to connect the T-tube and the drainage tube.
[0007] In summary, the present invention has the following advantages over the prior art:
[0008] This invention features a converter head installed in the middle of the T-tube connecting to the disposable drainage tube connector. This converter head automatically detaches when the disposable drainage bag is subjected to strong external force, thus protecting the T-tube from being pulled out of the common bile duct. It effectively prevents the T-tube from being pulled out of the bile duct and can also be used in other important locations (thoracic cavity, abdominal cavity) to prevent the drainage tube from dislodging due to unintentional external forces, thus preserving its drainage and bleeding observation functions. Attached Figure Description
[0009] The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the present invention and constitute a part of this invention, illustrate exemplary embodiments of the present invention and, together with the description thereof, serve to explain the present invention and do not constitute an undue limitation thereof. In the drawings:

[0015] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other. The present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0016] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0017] See Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a novel anti-T-tube detachment device, including a T-tube 1 and a drainage tube 2. One end of the T-tube 1 is provided with a T-shaped drainage device, and the other end of the T-tube 1 is connected to the drainage tube 2; the other end of the drainage tube 2 is connected to a drainage bag 20. A connector 3 is provided between the T-tube 1 and the drainage tube 2, and the T-tube 1 and the drainage tube 2 are connected through the connector 3.
[0018] In other words, when using the novel anti-T-tube dislodgement device provided by this utility model, the T-tube 1 is fixed in the patient's bladder using a T-drainage device. Then, the T-tube 1 extends from the patient's urethra and is connected to the drainage tube 2 via connector 3. This connection method allows for easy connection without altering the main structure and usage of the existing drainage tube 2, simply by adding a connector 3 to the external sections of the drainage tube 2 and the T-tube 1. It also allows for disconnection in case of an accident, preventing the T-tube 1 from being pulled out. Reconnection is also possible for subsequent use.
[0019] As a preferred option, such as Figure 2 As shown, the connector 3 on the T-tube 1 is provided with a buckle 30, and the connector 3 on the drainage tube 2 is provided with a retaining ring 31 that matches the buckle 30. The T-tube 1 and the drainage tube 2 can be easily connected by the buckle 30, and if the patient accidentally pulls out the drainage tube 2, the drainage tube 2 can be quickly dislodged, thereby preventing the T-tube 1 from being pulled out.
[0020] As a preferred option, such as Figure 3 As shown, in order to make the use of the device simpler and more convenient, the two connectors 3 connect the T-tube 1 and the drainage tube 2 together through the adhesive layer 4.
[0021] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
