Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a central venous catheter protection device. Background Technology

[0002] In the medical field, the secure fixation of central venous catheters is crucial for patient treatment. In current medical procedures, healthcare professionals typically cover the central venous catheter infusion connector and tubing connection with sterile gauze and then wrap it with tape to ensure safety. However, during patient examinations, it is difficult for healthcare professionals to check for bleeding or drug leakage at the connector, necessitating frequent removal of the gauze for inspection to ensure timely detection of problems. But with repeated application of tape, its adhesiveness weakens, causing the gauze to loosen and expose the connector, posing a potential risk. Furthermore, during patient movement, the catheter is easily pulled, and the poor fixation of the gauze increases the risk of catheter dislodgement.

[0003] For patients with thin skin, allergies to adhesive tape, or excessive sweating, traditional tape fixation methods present numerous problems. For those with thin skin, tape application can easily cause skin damage; for those allergic to adhesive tape, contact with the skin can trigger allergic reactions; and for those who sweat excessively, sweat can affect the adhesiveness of the tape, increasing the risk of catheter dislodgement and displacement. Currently, there is a lack of an ideal fixation method specifically designed for these special patients, which not only causes patient discomfort but may also affect treatment outcomes and even lead to complications such as infection. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical problem that adhesive-based central venous catheter protection products can adversely affect the skin of different patients, this invention provides a central venous catheter protection device. This invention designs a central venous catheter protection device that is not directly adhered to the patient's skin. It is highly breathable, comfortable, effectively prevents skin damage, and enhances catheter fixation during patient movement.

[0008] The anti-slip silicone strip is placed inside the elastic band to increase friction and prevent the tube from falling off;

[0009] The non-woven gauze is placed between the catheter fixing patch and the elastic band to reduce friction and pressure between the catheter and the patient's skin.

[0010] Furthermore, the middle part of the elastic band is made of perforated fabric.

[0011] Furthermore, the anti-slip silicone strips are multiple and evenly distributed on the inner side of the elastic band.

[0012] Furthermore, the catheter fixing patch is used to fix the catheter to the elastic band.

[0013] Furthermore, the elastic band is provided with detachable connection structures on both sides.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit this utility model or its application or use. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] 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.

[0029] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this utility model provides a central venous catheter protection device, including: an elastic band 1, an anti-slip silicone strip 2, a catheter fixing patch 4, and non-woven gauze 3; the elastic band 1 is in direct contact with the skin and the device is fixed to the patient's arm by friction.

[0034] The anti-slip silicone strip 2 is placed inside the elastic band 1 to increase friction and prevent the tube from falling off;

[0035] The non-woven gauze 3 is placed between the catheter fixing patch 4 and the elastic band 1 to reduce friction and pressure between the catheter and the patient's skin.

[0036] This device is intended for patients who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. After the transplant, the patient's skin is thin, and using adhesive tape to fix the PICC catheter can easily cause skin damage.

[0037] Furthermore, the middle part of the elastic band 1 is made of perforated fabric, which has good breathability and comfort.

[0038] Furthermore, the anti-slip silicone strips 2 are multiple and evenly distributed on the inner side of the elastic band 1, which can effectively prevent the catheter from falling off and reduce irritation to the patient's skin.

[0039] Furthermore, the catheter fixing patch 4 secures the catheter to the elastic band 1 via the catheter clip 5, making the catheter more firmly fixed.

[0040] Furthermore, the elastic band 1 is provided with soft Velcro 6 on both sides, which can be adjusted according to the patient's actual situation to avoid the elastic band 1 compressing the patient's blood vessels and causing poor blood circulation.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
