Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a reusable pipe identification sign. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, commonly used clinical nursing catheter labels are waterproof paper-based adhesive stickers, which require writing with an oil-based carbon black pen to indicate the insertion time, insertion mark, and responsible person. These paper labels have several drawbacks. First, both the sticker and the operator's hands must be dry before use, otherwise the writing will be difficult to read. Second, the sticker must be fixed in place the first time; misaligned stickers can cause the writing to wrinkle and become difficult to read, and misaligned areas can easily attract hair, debris, etc. Third, the label can be easily obscured when the patient changes position. Finally, each time a catheter is replaced, medical staff must rewrite the label and re-attach it, causing considerable inconvenience for both patients and medical staff. Utility Model Content

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] Example

[0030] A reusable pipe sign, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the sign includes a rectangular sign body and a digital roulette module. The two largest opposite faces of the sign body are equally divided into three horizontal cells, namely the first cell 1, the second cell 2, and the third cell 3. The second cell 2 and the third cell 3 of one face are provided with mounting cavities 8, and the first cell 1 and the third cell 3 of the other face are provided with mounting cavities 8. The digital roulette module can be assembled inside the mounting cavity 8. The sides of the sign body are provided with Velcro.

[0031] Specifically, this pipe marker is larger than the currently used marking stickers, making it more conspicuous. During use, the marker can be easily removed using Velcro and reused repeatedly. The digital wheel module can be directly installed into the mounting cavity 8 of the pipe marker, or it can be detached. Specifically, the wheel module is slightly larger than the mounting cavity 8. During installation, it is forcefully inserted into the mounting cavity 8, and friction will hold it in place. Furthermore, the height of the wheel is less than the height of the mounting cavity 8, thus avoiding the risk of accidental activation and increasing safety during operation.

[0032] Preferably, the digital roulette module includes a housing 11 and a roulette wheel. The surface of the housing 11 has a display hole 10 for displaying the numbers on the roulette wheel. The surface of the housing 11 also has an adjustment hole 9 and a handle 16. Inside the housing 11, there is a base 13. The roulette wheel 12 is rotatably connected to the base 13, and a ring of evenly spaced, tooth-like protrusions is provided around the wheel. Specifically, the digital roulette module is a separate unit block containing a roulette wheel. The roulette wheel is fixed inside the housing 11 by a damping shaft 14, and the roulette wheel is marked with the numbers 0-9. As needed, the roulette wheel can be rotated by the tip of a pen carried by a medical professional through the teeth in the adjustment hole, thereby adjusting the number displayed in the display hole 10. Using a digital wheel to mark time not only provides clear and easy-to-observe scales and is wear-resistant, but also ensures that the numbers remain clear and legible even after prolonged use. Furthermore, the simple assembly of the digital wheel module and mounting cavity 8 allows the wheel module to be easily removed via the handle 16 in case of malfunction, making subsequent maintenance more convenient and simple.

[0033] Preferably, the hook and loop fastener includes a female hook and loop fastener 6 and two female hook and loop fasteners 7. The female hook and loop fastener 6 is 6mm long and 21mm wide, and the female hook and loop fasteners 7 are 10mm long and 15mm wide. This sign can be adaptively adjusted to follow the diameter, size, and position of the tube 15 through the hook and loop fasteners on both sides, making it convenient for nurses to observe and record during rounds and shift changes.

[0034] Preferably, the cell includes an identification cell 4 and an identification adjustment cell 5, and a mounting cavity 8 is provided in part of the identification adjustment cell 5.

[0035] The first cell (cell 1) on the front has a label labeled "Name" in cell 4, and a blank label adjustment cell 5 for medical staff to label the specific tube name. The second cell (cell 2) has a label labeled "Installation" in cell 4, and a label adjustment cell 5 with four installation chambers 8. Specifically, the first two installation chambers 8 form a group followed by "Month," and the last two installation chambers 8 form a group followed by "Day." Medical staff can adjust the insertion time by rotating the number wheel for each installation chamber 8. For example, if the insertion time is December 12th, the numbers displayed in the four installation chambers 8 can be adjusted to 1, 2, 1, 2. The third cell (cell 3) has a label labeled "Inner / Outer," and a label adjustment cell 5 with two installation chambers 8, each labeled "cm," for medical staff to mark the insertion depth and external leakage scale.

[0036] The first cell (cell 1) on the back side, opposite the front, has a label 4 marked "Replacement". The label adjustment cell 5 contains four installation chambers 8. Specifically, the first two installation chambers 8 form a group followed by the word "Month", and the last two installation chambers 8 form a group followed by the word "Day". This is used to remind medical staff when the anti-retrograde drainage bag needs to be replaced. The second cell (cell 2) has a label 4 marked "Signature". The label adjustment cell 5 is blank and is used for the responsible nurse's signature. This can be done by writing on tape and then pasting it into the blank cell. The third cell (cell 3) has a label 4 marked "Expiration Date". The label adjustment cell 5 contains two installation chambers 8, each marked with "d". This is used to record the expiration date of the drainage bag or inserted tube 15. Especially for patients with long-term tubes, the expiration date reminder helps patients and their families replace the tubes in a timely manner during home use, preventing unnecessary harm caused by expiration.

[0037] Preferably, the main body of the sign has a length of 40mm, a width of 6mm, and a height of 21mm.
