[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The following are several embodiments of the nasal drug delivery tube of this utility model.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the nasal administration tube 100 of this embodiment includes a tube body 200, with an internal ventilation chamber 300. The tube body 200 extends in a straight line, with its two ends being a first ventilation port 210 and a second ventilation port 220, respectively. The first ventilation port 210 and the second ventilation port 220 are respectively connected to the ventilation chamber 300. Therefore, when the nasal administration tube 100 is inserted into the patient's nasal cavity, the patient can use nasal ventilation through the connected first ventilation port 210, ventilation chamber 300, and second ventilation port 220, avoiding the need for mouth breathing when administering medication via the nose. Mouth breathing can cause harm such as dry mouth, changes in facial appearance, oral diseases, sleep disturbances, and snoring.

[0036] It is understood that the nasal administration tube 100 also includes a drug capsule 400, which is sleeved outside the tube body 200. Both ends of the drug capsule 400 in a straight direction are connected to the outer wall of the tube body 200, so that the outer wall of the tube body 200 and the drug capsule 400 surround each other to form an administration cavity 410. Figure 2 As shown. A cotton pad 500 is provided inside the drug delivery chamber 410. The cotton pad 500 can be soaked with liquid drug to form a medicated cotton, such as... Figure 2 As shown. The drug capsule 400 is provided with multiple drug delivery holes 420, which are connected to the drug delivery cavity 410, as shown. Figures 1 to 3 As shown. Therefore, when the nasal administration tube 100 is inserted into the patient's nasal cavity, the cotton pad 500 soaked in the drug continuously administers the drug into the nasal cavity through multiple administration holes 420, so that the drug can continue to take effect.

[0037] With this setup, when administering medication through the nasal cannula 100, it needs to be inserted into the patient's nasal cavity first. The patient then ventilates through the first airway 210, the airway 300, and the second airway 220, and the medication is continuously administered through multiple administration holes 420, thus ensuring the sustained effect of the medication.

[0038] Understandably, the nasal administration tube 100 is inserted into the patient's inferior nasal cavity. Specifically, one end of the tube 200 is inserted into the patient's inferior nasal cavity from the outside in, so that the entire drug capsule 400 outside the tube 200 is inserted into the patient's inferior nasal cavity. The other end of the tube 200 is located outside the nasal cavity, making it easy to remove the nasal administration tube 100 after the nasal administration is completed.

[0039] In some embodiments, the tube body 200 has the same shape and size at opposite ends, that is, the end of the tube body 200 with the first air port 210 and the end with the second air port 220 have the same shape and size, because either end of the nasal administration tube 100 can be inserted into the patient's nasal cavity.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first airway 210 and the second airway 220 are set separately, so that one end of the tube 200 with the second airway 220 is inserted into the patient's inferior nasal meatus, and the other end of the tube 200 with the first airway 210 is located outside the patient's nasal cavity.

[0041] It is understandable that the end of the tube 200 with the first vent 210 is connected to the injection port 600, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the injection port 600 and the tube body 200 are fixed relative to each other. The injection port 600 is connected to the drug delivery chamber 410. In use, liquid drugs are drawn up with a syringe, the syringe is inserted into the injection port 600 and the drugs are pushed in. The cotton pad 500 in the drug delivery chamber 410 absorbs the pushed-in drugs, thus becoming medicated cotton.

[0042] Understandably, the injection port 600 and the tube body 200 are set at an angle to facilitate quick differentiation between the injection port 600 and the first vent port 210, preventing the syringe from injecting medication into the first vent port 210. Figures 1 to 3 As shown.

[0043] Understandably, the first vent 210 is funnel-shaped, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first nasal vent 210, shaped like a trumpet, is positioned against the patient's nostril to prevent the entire nasal administration tube 100 from being inserted into the patient's inferior nasal meatus, thus avoiding the need to use tweezers or other tools to remove it after nasal treatment.

[0044] Understandably, the second vent 220 is shaped like an eagle's beak, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown. Specifically, the second airway 220 decreases in size along the direction away from the first airway 210, so that when the end of the tube 200 with the second airway 220 is inserted into the nasal cavity, the smaller end of the second airway 220 is inserted into the patient's nasal cavity first, and then slowly transitions to the larger end of the second airway 220 and the tube 200, so that the patient can adapt to the nasal administration tube 100 inserted into the inferior nasal meatus.

[0045] It is understandable that the outer wall surface of the tube 200 is provided with a scale 700, and the scale 700 is set along the long end of the tube 200, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown. When inserting the nasal administration tube 100, the insertion depth can be adjusted according to the patient's age. The insertion depth of the nasal administration tube 100 can be precisely controlled by the scale 700 on the outer wall of the tube body 200.

[0046] It is understandable that the tube 200 has a cylindrical structure and the outer wall surface of the tube 200 is a circular surface.

[0047] In some embodiments, the sac 400 is annular and connected to the outer circumferential surface of the tube body 200, such as Figure 1As shown. Therefore, viewed in a vertical cross-section along the long end of the tube 200, the drug capsule 400 and the tube 200 form an annular drug delivery cavity 410, as shown. Figure 2 As shown. When using the nasal administration tube 100 for nasal drug administration, the sac 400 needs to be fully inserted into the patient's inferior nasal meatus. The scale 700 is set between the sac 400 and the first airway 210 to facilitate adjustment of the insertion depth of the tube 200 after the sac 400 is fully inserted into the inferior nasal meatus.

[0048] In other embodiments, the sac 400 has a C-shaped structure and is connected to the outer circumferential surface of the tube 200, such as... Figure 3 As shown. Therefore, viewed in a vertical cross-section along the long end of the tube 200, the sac 400 and the tube 200 form a C-shaped drug delivery cavity 410. The graduation 700 is laid along the long end of the tube 200 and located between the two ends of the C-shaped sac 400, facilitating overall control of the insertion depth of the nasal drug delivery tube 100.

[0049] Understandably, since the first airway 210, the second airway 220, and the airway 300 are connected, when the nasal administration tube 100 is inserted into the patient's inferior nasal meatus, the fiberoptic bronchoscope can pass through the first airway 210, the airway 300, and the second airway 220, allowing observation of the patient's nasal mucosa from the second airway 220. The tube body 200 can prevent the lens of the fiberoptic bronchoscope from being contaminated by the nasal cavity, resulting in better observation.

[0050] Understandably, the inner diameter of the ventilation chamber 300 is larger than the diameter of the bronchoscope to ensure that the bronchoscope can be inserted into the ventilation chamber 300.

[0051] In this embodiment, the nasal administration tube 100 is a disposable component, ensuring the patient's hygiene and health safety and avoiding bacterial residue due to improper cleaning or disinfection.

[0052] Understandably, the tube 200 is a flexible plastic tube, which allows it to bend freely during insertion, making it easier to insert into the patient's inferior nasal cavity.

[0053] In some embodiments, the sac 400 is a plastic tube. The tube-shaped sac 400 can be bent by the tube-shaped body 200 to facilitate insertion of the nasal administration tube 100. The administration cavity 410 formed by the tube-shaped sac 400 is of a fixed size, ensuring that the cotton pad 500 can be stably placed in the administration cavity 410, preventing the cotton pad 500 from accumulating at one end of the administration cavity 410 due to external forces, thus affecting the drug administration effect.

[0054] In other embodiments, the sac 400 is a thin film made of plastic. The thin film sac 400 can also be bent along the tubular tube 200 for easy insertion. The thin film sac 400 fits into the moistened cotton wool, allowing the medication in the cotton wool to be better delivered into the nasal cavity through the administration port 420.

[0055] In this embodiment, the diameter of the administration hole 420 is 0.25 mm, and the distance between two adjacent administration holes 420 is 2 mm.

[0056] Understandably, the drug capsule 400 has multiple rows of drug delivery holes 420, and each row of drug delivery holes 420 has multiple drug delivery holes 420 spaced along the long end of the tube 200. Each row of drug delivery holes 420 is laid along the arc direction of the drug capsule 400.

[0057] In some embodiments, each row of drug delivery holes 420 is staggered along the arc direction of the drug capsule 400, so that the spacing between each adjacent drug delivery hole 420 is the same.

[0058] In this embodiment, each row of drug delivery holes 420 is laid out at intervals perpendicular to the long end of the tube body 200, so that adjacent drug delivery holes 420 form a rectangular array, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown. The distance between two adjacent administration holes 420 along the long end of the tube body 200 is 2 mm, and the distance between two adjacent administration holes 420 along the direction perpendicular to the long end of the tube body 200 is 2 mm.

[0059] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the tube 200 is 6.8 mm to ensure that the bronchoscope can be inserted into the ventilation cavity 300.

[0060] In this embodiment, the tube body 200 is 12 cm long, the sac 400 is 9 cm long, the distance between the sac 400 and the first vent 210 is 2 cm, and the distance between the sac 400 and the second vent 220 is 1 cm.

[0061] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
