Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary products technology, specifically to a nasogastric tube fixing device. Background Technology

[0002] A nasogastric tube is a medical aid designed to be safely and accurately inserted through the nasal cavity into a patient's stomach, providing essential nutrition and medication for those unable to eat or take medication orally. Nasogastric tubes are typically made of soft, durable medical materials to minimize irritation to the patient's nasal cavity and stomach during use.

[0003] For patients who are bedridden for extended periods, have impaired consciousness, or suffer from digestive system impairment, nasogastric tubes are a vital means of maintaining life. Through a nasogastric tube, patients can receive necessary nutritional supplements at regular intervals and in measured amounts, effectively preventing various complications caused by malnutrition. Furthermore, for patients requiring long-term medication but unable to take oral medications, nasogastric tubes can directly deliver drugs into the stomach, ensuring effective absorption and utilization, improving the efficacy of drug therapy, and reducing the risks associated with improper drug intake.

[0004] When using a nasogastric tube, to prevent prolonged pressure on the nasal mucosa and subsequent harm, effective measures are typically taken to fix the tube in place, aiming to position it roughly in the center of the nasal cavity. Currently, healthcare professionals fix the tube by first wrapping it with medical tape and lifting it upwards, attaching it to the patient's face or nostril for initial fixation. Then, they use a rope to tighten the tube, securing it to the patient's head and pulling the tube down, ultimately fixing it roughly in the center of the nasal cavity. However, this method has a problem: the patient's face and nostrils secrete oil and sweat, making the medical tape less secure and prone to slipping off. Once the tape comes off, the tube continues to compress the lower nasal mucosa, which, under prolonged pressure, can easily lead to pressure sores, causing further pain for the patient.

[0005] Therefore, how to design a nasogastric tube fixation device that can securely fix the nasogastric tube, prevent it from falling out, and avoid compressing the nasal cavity floor and causing pressure sores is a technical problem that has not yet been solved in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0006] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the technical defects of the prior art, which is that the patient's face and nose secrete oil and sweat, and the medical tape is not firmly attached and is easy to fall off; after the medical tape falls off, the nasogastric tube will continue to compress the nasal mucosa in the lower part of the nasal cavity, and the nasal mucosa is prone to pressure sores after being under pressure for a long time, which brings more pain to the patient. Therefore, this invention provides a nasogastric tube fixing device that can fix the nasogastric tube firmly, is not easy to fall off, and will not compress the nasal cavity floor and avoid pressure sores.

[0007] Therefore, this utility model provides a nasogastric tube fixing device, comprising:

[0008] The main body has a fixing groove with openings at both ends and an opening at the top, the fixing groove being suitable for fixing the nasogastric tube;

[0009] An elastic band is fixedly connected to both ends of the main body component through a fixing structure, and is suitable for wrapping around and fixing to the human head, thereby fixing the main body component to the human head.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the inner side of the main body is provided with an anti-pressure pad.

[0011] As a preferred option, the pressure-resistant pad is made of a skin-friendly material and has several ventilation holes.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the fixing structure includes:

[0013] There are two fasteners, which are fixedly installed on both sides of the main body;

[0014] There are several fixing holes, which are evenly distributed on the elastic band.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the fastener can be connected to the fixing hole to fix the main body and the elastic band together.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the fastener includes a fixing part fixedly disposed on the main body and a connecting part fixedly disposed at the other end of the fixing part.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment, the connecting part is cylindrical, with both ends protruding from the fixing part.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment, the main body has an arc-shaped oxygen tube placement position on the side facing the human body, which is suitable for placing the oxygen tube.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, the fixing grooves are two, which are laterally opened on the main body at a certain distance apart.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment, a partition is formed between the two fixed slots, and the portion of the partition that connects to the oxygen delivery tube placement position forms an inclined surface.

[0021] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0022] This utility model of a nasogastric tube fixing device includes a main body and an elastic band; wherein the main body has a fixing groove with openings at both ends and an opening at the top, the fixing groove being suitable for fixing the nasogastric tube; the elastic band is fixedly connected to both ends of the main body through a fixing structure, and is suitable for wrapping around and fixing to the human head, thereby fixing the main body to the human head.

[0023] When using a nasogastric tube on a patient, first connect the elastic band to the main body, then place the fixation device on the patient's head, positioning the main body at the philtrum. Once the main body is securely in place, fix the nasogastric tube into the fixation groove to secure it. This nasogastric tube fixation device effectively prevents the nasogastric tube from slipping after it is fixed; furthermore, the main body can fix the nasogastric tube in the middle of the nasal cavity, avoiding prolonged pressure on the nasal cavity wall caused by the nasogastric tube, which can lead to pressure sores on the nasal mucosa.

[0032] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example

[0033] This embodiment provides a nasogastric tube fixing device, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes: a main body 1 and an elastic band 2; wherein the main body 1 has a fixing groove 11 with openings at both ends and an opening at the top, the fixing groove 11 being suitable for fixing the nasogastric tube; the elastic band 2 is fixedly connected to both ends of the main body 1 by a fixing structure, and is suitable for wrapping around and fixing to the human head, thereby fixing the main body 1 to the human head.

[0034] When using a nasogastric tube on a patient, first connect the elastic band 2 to the main body 1, then place the fixation device on the patient's head, positioning the main body 1 at the philtrum. Once the main body 1 is securely in place, fix the nasogastric tube into the fixation groove 11 to secure it. This nasogastric tube fixation device effectively prevents the tube from slipping after fixation; furthermore, the main body 1 secures the tube in the middle of the nasal cavity, preventing prolonged pressure on the nasal cavity wall and thus avoiding pressure sores caused by nasal mucosal injury.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, an anti-pressure pad 3 is provided on the inner side of the main body 1. The specific connection method can be adhesive bonding. The anti-pressure pad 3 can reduce the pressure on local tissues, improve patient comfort, and effectively prevent the formation of pressure ulcers.

[0036] The pressure-relief pad 3 is made of skin-friendly material and has several ventilation holes. The skin-friendly material has a good tactile feel, which can bring comfort to the patient and reduce friction and discomfort caused by excessively hard material; the ventilation holes allow air circulation, improve ventilation, prevent dampness caused by prolonged contact, and help keep the patient's skin dry and comfortable.

[0037] The fixing structure includes: two fixing members 4 and fixing holes 5; the fixing members 4 are fixedly disposed on both sides of the main body 1; the fixing holes 5 are a plurality of holes evenly distributed on the elastic band 2. This design allows the main body 1 and the elastic band 2 to be flexibly adjusted to meet the needs of different patients.

[0038] The fixing member 4 can be connected to the fixing hole 5 to fix the main body 1 and the elastic band 2. The fixing member 4 includes a fixing part 41 fixedly disposed on the main body 1 and a connecting part 42 fixedly disposed at the other end of the fixing part 41. The connecting part 42 is cylindrical, with both ends protruding from the fixing part 41. When using the fixation device on a patient, the fixing holes 5 at different positions on the elastic band 3 are connected to the fixing member 4 according to the patient's specific condition, which not only ensures a stable fixation but also improves the patient's wearing comfort.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the main body 1 has an arc-shaped oxygen tube placement position 6 on the side facing the human body, which is suitable for placing the oxygen tube. When the patient uses a nasogastric tube and wears an oxygen tube at the same time, the nasogastric tube is fixed in the fixing groove 11 and the oxygen tube is placed in the oxygen tube placement position 6. This design ensures that the two do not interfere with each other and will not affect the normal placement and use of the oxygen tube.

[0040] Two fixing slots 11 are provided, horizontally spaced at a certain distance on the main body 1. The two fixing slots 11 correspond to the two nasal cavities. When fixing the nasogastric tube, the tube can be fixed in the corresponding fixing slot 11 according to the nasal cavity where it is placed. The nasogastric tube fixing device of this embodiment can be provided in multiple sizes, with different sizes having fixing slots 11 at different intervals to meet the needs of different patients.

[0041] A partition 7 is formed between the two fixing slots 11, and the portion of the partition 7 that connects to the oxygen tube placement position 6 forms an inclined surface. The inclined surface design of the portion of the partition 7 that connects to the oxygen tube placement position 6 facilitates the removal of the nasal oxygen tube.

[0042] The nasogastric tube fixing device in this embodiment is used as follows: When using it on a patient with a nasogastric tube, according to the patient's specific condition, connect the fixing holes 5 at different positions on the elastic band 3 with the fixing member 4, and then wear the fixing device on the patient's head, so that the main body 1 is located at the patient's philtrum; after the main body 1 is worn stably, fix the nasogastric tube into the fixing groove 11 to secure it. When the patient is using a nasogastric tube and also wearing an oxygen delivery tube, fix the nasogastric tube into the fixing groove 11 and place the oxygen delivery tube in the oxygen delivery tube placement position 6.

[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this innovative technical solution.
