[0042] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0043] A chest drainage tube is a tube used to drain gas, fluid, etc. from the chest cavity. It is usually made of materials such as silicone or rubber, which are soft and flexible. Different diameters and lengths are available to meet the needs of different patients.
[0044] Current methods for fixing chest drainage tubes typically involve wrapping them with gauze and then securing them with tape. This method has the following technical drawbacks:
[0045] 1. The gauze at the outlet of the patient's chest drainage tube is secured with medical tape, which is prone to falling off, exposing the wound at the insertion site and causing infection;
[0046] 2. When there is exudate at the outlet of the chest drainage tube, ordinary gauze cannot absorb it, and the dressing needs to be changed repeatedly. If the dressing is not changed for a long time, the gauze soaked with exudate will harden, causing discomfort to the patient.
[0047] 3. The existing chest band fixation cannot solve the problem of pain caused to the patient by the downward traction of the chest drainage tube;
[0048] 4. Using adhesive tape for secondary fixation on the chest wall can easily cause dermatitis of the chest wall skin, duct folding, and poor drainage.
[0049] The chest drainage tube fixation dressing provided in this application has an absorbent layer 13 that can be a highly absorbent polymer or hydrogel, which can absorb exudate and protect the skin around the tube. The dressing body 10 has a slit 30 that connects the outer end of the dressing body 10 to the round hole 20.
