Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to an integrated safety fixator for the end of a gastric tube. Background Technology

[0002] In modern medicine and rehabilitation care, gastric tubes have become an indispensable medical device, widely used for patients requiring long-term or short-term intragastric nutritional support, drug delivery, or gastrointestinal decompression. Especially for patients requiring prolonged nasogastric feeding, the insertion of a gastric tube effectively solves the problems of nutritional intake and drug delivery.

[0003] However, long-term indwelling gastric tubes also bring some problems, such as gastric reflux, tube contamination and displacement, which increase the risk of complications for patients and the nursing burden for medical staff.

[0004] Traditional methods of fixing gastric tubes often rely on simple clamping devices, lacking adequate sealing and protection measures. They are easily affected by patient movement or environmental changes, leading to displacement or contamination of the gastric tube.

[0005] Some existing technologies, such as the utility model patent CN215193889U applied for by Wuhan University, provide some solutions, but they are mainly used to prevent the reflux of gastric juice and food and to avoid the medical negative pressure drum connection from falling off. They cannot solve the problem of gastric tube displacement or contamination.

[0006] Especially for patients with long-term gastric tubes, the frequent exposure of the end of the tube to the external environment may lead to bacterial infections and other contamination problems, further increasing the difficulty of care. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides an integrated safety fixator for the end of a gastric tube, which can protect the end of the gastric tube from contamination and prevent gastric reflux.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] An integrated safety fixation device for the end of a gastric tube includes a gastric tube clamp and a cleaning and storage box, wherein the cleaning and storage box is connected to or tightly fixed to the gastric tube clamp to accommodate the end of the gastric tube; the cleaning and storage box includes at least one box body, which has an inlet.

[0010] The gastric tube clamp is a clamp structure with an inlet end and a clamping end;

[0011] The inlet is located on one side of the clamping end of the gastric tube clamp, and the end of the gastric tube enters the inner cavity of the box from the inlet after passing through the clamping end.

[0012] The cleaning and storage box is connected to the clamping end of the gastric tube clamp, and

[0013] The entrance of the cleaning and storage box and the exit of the clamped end are on the same axis.

[0014] In some embodiments, as a further preferred embodiment, the gastric tube clamp comprises two side plates and a spring connected between the two side plates, wherein one end of the two side plates is connected to form a clamping end, and the other end expands to form an inlet end for insertion of the gastric tube; and

[0015] The clamping end has an opening for inserting the gastric tube into the clean storage box, and the clamping end opens the opening when the spring is compressed. After the gastric tube tip passes through the inlet end and the clamping end, the spring rebounds and clamps the gastric tube to prevent gastric fluid reflux. Then, the gastric tube tip is placed into the inner cavity of the clean storage box from the inlet.

[0016] In some embodiments, as a further preferred option, the clamping end adopts a hinged structure with an opening.

[0017] In some embodiments, as a further preferred embodiment, the inlet of the cleaning and preservation box is equipped with a rotatable closure switch, which closes or opens the cleaning and preservation box when rotated to a specific angle. The rotatable closure switch allows the inlet of the cleaning and preservation box to be completely closed when not in use, reducing the entry of external bacteria or contaminants, thereby ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the gastric tube tip. The design of the rotatable closure switch allows medical personnel to open or close the device as needed, simplifying operation while maintaining the device's airtightness.

[0018] In some embodiments, as a further preferred option, the cleaning and storage box is a structure made of PC material.

[0019] In some embodiments, as a further preferred embodiment, the cleaning and storage box further includes a PC material fixing box, which is connected to the outside of the cleaning and storage box by gluing or snap-fitting; and

[0020] The outer surface of the fixation box is covered with nano-adhesive tape, which is attached to outer clothing or bed sheets. The nano-adhesive tape can be repeatedly applied and removed, allowing patients to perform monitoring and fixation tasks themselves or with the help of family members. It can be attached to the patient's clothing like a sticky note, making the monitoring more comfortable for the patient without affecting their daily activities.

[0021] The fixation box is attached to the outside of the clean storage box by gluing or snapping. This fixation box allows the device to be repeatedly secured to the patient's clothing or bed sheets. The device remains stable even when the patient is moving, preventing displacement that could affect the fixation of the gastric tube, thus improving patient comfort and reducing the workload of medical staff.

[0022] The transparent PC material ensures visibility inside the cleaning and storage box, allowing medical staff to observe the condition of the gastric tube tip without opening the box. This helps medical staff to promptly determine whether the device needs cleaning or replacement, thereby reducing the need for frequent opening and closing of the box, lowering the risk of contamination, and improving nursing efficiency.

[0023] In some embodiments, as a further preferred embodiment, the gastric tube clamp is a box-shaped structure that achieves clamping by button control, and its interior is provided with a carding chamber component and a clamping component.

[0024] The box-shaped structure also includes a gastric tube inlet located on one side thereon.

[0025] In some embodiments, as a further preferred embodiment, the carding chamber component includes a carding chamber head, a blade, a first control component, and a first gastric tube channel; the clamping component includes a semi-cylindrical clamping component, a second control component, and a second gastric tube channel.

[0026] In some embodiments, as a further preferred embodiment, the box-shaped structure is provided with a movable clamping plate that rotates around a pivot in the box-shaped structure, and a return spring is wound around the pivot, with the upper and lower ends of the return spring fixed.

[0027] Advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model:

[0028] Firstly, this invention achieves significant advantages in preventing reflux and protecting the gastric tube through the synergistic design of the gastric tube clamp and the cleaning and storage box. Furthermore, the gastric tube clamp has a simple structural design and is easy to operate, allowing medical staff to quickly perform clamping and releasing operations; it also saves on medical consumables and costs.

[0029] Secondly, this utility model features a compact design with a reasonable structural connection between the gastric tube clamp, the cleaning and storage box, and the fixing box. Its overall size is small, facilitating management during nursing procedures. The close fit between the cleaning and storage box and the gastric tube clamp ensures the stability of the device while allowing for easy movement by the patient in daily life.

[0030] Finally, this integrated design allows healthcare professionals to quickly install and remove the device, reducing care time. Furthermore, the outer surface of the fixation box is covered with nano-adhesive tape, allowing it to be securely attached to clothing or bed sheets, enabling patients to operate it themselves or with the assistance of family members to complete monitoring and fixation tasks.

Detailed Implementation

[0043] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below to provide a clearer understanding of its purpose, features, and advantages. It should be understood that the following embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model, but are merely illustrative of its essential spirit.

[0044] In the following description, certain specific details are set forth for the purpose of illustrating various disclosed embodiments in order to provide a thorough understanding of the various disclosed embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that embodiments may be practiced without one or more of these specific details. In other instances, well-known apparatuses, structures, and techniques associated with this application may not have been shown or described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the description of the embodiments.

[0045] Throughout this specification, references to "an embodiment" or "an embodiment" indicate that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment. Therefore, the appearance of "in an embodiment" or "an embodiment" in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, a particular feature, structure, or characteristic may be combined in any manner in one or more embodiments.

[0046] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0047] Example 1:

[0048] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an integrated safety retainer for the end of a gastric tube includes a gastric tube clamp 1 and a cleaning and storage box 2. The cleaning and storage box 2 is connected to or tightly fixed to the gastric tube clamp 1 to accommodate the end of the gastric tube. The cleaning and storage box 2 includes at least one box body 5, which has an inlet 4. In this embodiment, the gastric tube clamp 1 and the cleaning and storage box 2 are tightly attached and fixed together.

[0049] The gastric tube clamp 1 is a clamp structure with an inlet end 101 and a clamping end 102. The clamp structure is actually composed of two clamps. One end of the two clamps is connected and has an opening, which serves as the clamping end 102. The expansion ends of the two clamps serve as the inlet end 101, which is used to insert the gastric tube inward.

[0050] The entrance 4 of the clean storage box 2 is on the side of the clamping end 102 of the gastric tube clamp 1. After passing through the clamping end 102, the end of the gastric tube bends downward and enters the inner cavity of the box 5 from the entrance 4.

[0051] Of course, in this design, a spring 3 or a similar elastic component is set between the two clamping plates to serve as a support. The spring 3 is located between the inlet end 101 and the clamping end 102. When the two clamping plates are pressed from the inlet end 101, the angle between the clamping plates decreases due to the compression of the spring 3. At this time, the clamping end 102 of the two clamping plates expands and separates to form an opening, through which the gastric tube can be extended into the clean storage box 2.

[0052] Then the clamp is released, and under the rebound of spring 3, the clamping end 102 closes and clamps the gastric tube.

[0053] from Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can also be seen that the inlet 4 of the clean storage box 2 is equipped with a rotatable closing switch, which closes or opens the clean storage box 2 when rotated to a specific angle. The rotatable closing switch at the inlet 4 closes the clean storage box when rotated to a certain angle to prevent contamination of the end of the gastric tube.

[0054] In addition, the cleaning and preservation box 2 is made of PC material. The transparent PC material ensures visibility inside the cleaning and preservation box 2, allowing medical staff to observe the condition of the gastric tube tip without opening the box 5.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning and storage box 2 also includes a PC material fixing box 6, which is connected to the outside of the cleaning and storage box 2 by gluing or snapping. The outer surface of the fixing box 6 is provided with nano adhesive tape, which is attached to the outer clothing or bed sheet.

[0056] In traditional gastric tube fixation devices, paperclips are sometimes used to secure the wrapped end of the tube to a sheet or clothing. However, during daily activities or sleep, the paperclips can easily shift, leading to needle pricks. To address this issue, this invention features a PC material fixing box 6 that attaches to external clothing or sheets via adhesive tape. The nano-adhesive tape allows for repeated application and removal. This enables patients to perform monitoring and fixation tasks independently or with the assistance of family members. The tape can be attached to the patient's clothing like a sticky note, making monitoring more comfortable and not interfering with their daily activities.

[0057] Example 2:

[0058] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in another embodiment, the cleaning and preservation box 2 is connected to the clamping end 102 of the gastric tube clamp 1, and the inlet 4 of the cleaning and preservation box 2 and the outlet of the clamping end 102 are on the same axis. The maximum opening of the clamping end 102 of the gastric tube clamp 1 is just connected to the cleaning and preservation box 2, so that the end of the gastric tube can be directly inserted into the cleaning and preservation box 2, avoiding the need to manually bend the end of the gastric tube and insert it into the cleaning and preservation box 2 from the inlet 4 as in the solution of embodiment 1.

[0059] Of course, the clamping end 102 of the gastric tube clamp 1 adopts a hinged structure with an opening. For example, by fixing the two sides of the hinge to the two clamps at the clamping end 102 respectively, while the middle of the hinge can be separated, the clamping end 102 can be limited, so that the two clamps are still connected.

[0060] Example 3:

[0061] like Figure 6 As shown, in embodiment 3, the gastric tube clamp 1 is a box-shaped structure 7 that is clamped by a button control, and its interior is provided with one or a combination of a card chamber component 8 and a clamping component 9; the box-shaped structure 7 also includes a gastric tube inlet 701 disposed on one side thereof.

[0062] The carding chamber component 8 includes a carding chamber head 801, a blade 802, a first control component 803, and a first gastric tube channel 804; the clamping component 9 includes a semi-cylindrical clamping component 901, a second control component 902, and a second gastric tube channel 903. Both the carding chamber component 8 and the clamping component 9 have buttons on the top of the box-shaped structure 7.

[0063] Press the buttons on both the card chamber component 8 and the clamping component 9 simultaneously to rotate and open the three blades 802 in the middle of the card chamber component 8. At the same time, the semi-cylindrical clamping assembly 901 in the middle of the clamping component 9 separates, and the end of the gastric tube enters the box-shaped structure 7 through the gastric tube inlet 701. After releasing the button, the gastric tube is clamped.

[0064] When the buttons of the card chamber component 8 and the clamping component 9 are pressed at the same time, the three blades 802 in the card chamber component 8 will rotate and open synchronously, and the semi-cylindrical clamping assembly 901 of the clamping component 9 will also separate to both sides to form an open clamping space.

[0065] Insert the end of the gastric tube through the gastric tube inlet 701 into the open space between the card chamber component 8 and the clamping component 9, ensuring that the gastric tube is accurately positioned in the middle area between the blade 802 and the semi-cylindrical clamping assembly 901.

[0066] After releasing the buttons on the card chamber component 8 and the clamping component 9, the blade 802 of the card chamber component 8 and the semi-cylinder of the clamping component 9 will automatically return to their original positions, tightly clamping the end of the gastric tube to prevent it from shifting or slipping.

[0067] Figure 7 The diagram shows the structure of the carding chamber component 8, where the carding chamber head 801 is used to fix the carding chamber component 8 in the box-shaped structure 7. The component that clamps the gastric tube has three blades 802, which can be rotated open by pressing the carding chamber component 8.

[0068] Figure 8 The diagram shows the structure of the clamping component 9. When the clamping component 9 is pressed, the two semi-cylindrical clamping assemblies 901 shown in the figure will separate to the sides. After the end of the gastric tube passes through, the button is released to achieve clamping.

[0069] Example 4:

[0070] Appendix Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, based on embodiment 3, the card room component 8 and clamping component 9 inside the box structure 7 are designed as a movable clamping plate 10. The movable clamping plate 10 rotates around the rotating shaft 11 in the box structure 7, and a return spring is wound on the rotating shaft 11, with the upper and lower ends of the return spring fixed.

[0071] When in use, the gastric tube is inserted into the box-shaped structure 7 through the gastric tube inlet 701. After the gastric tube pushes open the movable clamping plate 10 and continues to move inward to a certain point, the movable clamping plate 10 rotates around the pivot 11 under the action of the return spring and returns to its original position, clamping the gastric tube.

[0072] In all the above embodiments, after use, medical staff can clean and disinfect the entire device. The overall outer structure of the gastric tube clamp 1 adopts an ergonomic design with rounded corners to reduce the foreign body sensation when the patient contacts it and improve the comfort of use.

[0073] Any aspects of this utility model not described in detail are well-known technologies to those skilled in the art.

[0074] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
