Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical drainage equipment technology, and in particular to a drainage tube fixing device. Background Technology
[0002] When the accumulation of fluid, pus, or blood in the body's tissues or cavities exceeds the body's absorption capacity, a drainage tube is usually inserted to guide it out of the body. Drainage tubes have become a medical device used for local treatment, infection control, and wound healing. Clinically, especially in cases of malignant pleural effusion or ascites caused by tumors, or pleural effusion resulting from severe infection, a narrow chest drainage tube (CVC tube) is often used, requiring multiple, intermittent drainage or intra-catheter medication administration. Therefore, patients need to live with the tube for a certain period. Currently, the narrow chest drainage tube (CVC tube) is generally fixed directly with elastic tape.
[0003] Prolonged direct contact between adhesive tape and skin may lead to local skin tissue traction, insufficient oxidation, and the formation of tension blisters, causing secondary injury to the patient. Medical dressings are made of skin-friendly materials, and using them to fix the thin tube of the chest drainage tube can reduce the patient's skin tissue traction, insufficient oxidation, and the formation of tension blisters. However, because the fixation needs to be removed frequently for drainage, the foam medical dressing is very easy to damage during disassembly and assembly due to the material, making it impractical. Therefore, in actual operation, the existing elastic adhesive tape is still used for fixation. In addition, the catheter end connector is exposed, and it is easy to be caught or scratched by clothing when dressing and undressing, resulting in insecure fixation. This not only increases the workload of medical staff and the risk of accidental tube dislodgement, but also increases the additional costs for patients in the ward. Furthermore, when the patient turns over to rest, the skin at the catheter end connector and the thumb clip may be subjected to pressure, which may cause iatrogenic skin pressure injury, resulting in patient pain and increasing the nursing difficulty for medical staff.

[0021] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the sleeve structure in this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0024] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0025] Example 1, referring to Figure 1-2 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a drainage tube fixing device, including,
[0026] Contact layer 100, contact layer 100 is a foam dressing layer, contact layer 100 has an adhesive surface;
[0027] Separator 200 is attached to the non-adhesive surface of contact layer 100;
[0028] Fixing sticker 300 is attached to the side of the separator 200 away from the contact layer 100.
[0029] The contact layer 100 comes into contact with the patient's skin, effectively isolating it between the fixation patch 300 and the patient's skin, thus protecting the patient's skin. Specifically, the contact layer 100 uses a medical dressing, specifically a foam dressing, which adheres to the patient's skin through its adhesive side. The foam dressing in the contact layer 100 has good skin-friendliness, preventing the drainage tube 900, fixation patch 300, and separator patch 200 from directly contacting the patient's skin, thereby reducing the possibility of causing skin tissue traction, insufficient oxidation, and tension blisters. At the same time, the contact layer 100 isolates the head of the drainage tube 900 from the patient's skin, reducing pressure on the skin when the patient turns over to rest, thus reducing patient pain.
[0030] The method of using the upper drainage tube 900 fixing device is as follows: the contact layer 100 is adhered to the patient's skin through the adhesive surface, the separator 200 is adhered to the outside of the contact layer 100, then the drainage tube 900 is placed on the outside of the separator layer, and finally the fixing tape 300 is used to adhere the drainage tube 900 to the separator 200; when drainage is required, the fixing tape 300 and the drainage tube 900 can be removed from the separator 200, and the drainage can be re-fixed after the drainage is completed; as can be seen from the above operation process, the contact layer 100 does not need to be removed from the patient's skin during the drainage process, avoiding frequent disassembly and reassembly that could damage the contact layer 100 of the foam dressing.
[0031] Furthermore, it also includes a surface layer 400, which and the separator 200 are located on the same side of the contact layer 100, and the surface layer 400 is located below the separator 200. The surface layer 400 and the contact layer 100 form an accommodating space.
[0032] The surface layer 400 is located outside the contact layer 100 and together with the contact layer 100 form a receiving space to accommodate the head of the drainage tube 900. This allows the head of the drainage tube 900 to be stored and hidden, reducing the risk of the drainage tube 900 being scratched or pulled due to the patient changing clothes or turning over, resulting in insecure fixation or accidental dislodgement, thus ensuring nursing safety.
[0033] Example 2, refer to Figure 1-3This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, it also includes a sealing edge 101 disposed on the edge of the contact layer 100. The sealing edge 101 has an adhesive surface. The surface layer 400 is fixed to the contact layer 100 by the sealing edge 101. The sealing edge 101 extends at least partially to the outer side of the edge of the contact layer 100.
[0034] The edge of the contact layer 100 is provided with a textured edge seal 101 to reduce the possibility of the edge of the contact layer 100 lifting. At the same time, the edge seal 101 is also used to fix the surface layer 400 to the contact layer 100. Specifically, the surface layer 400 is placed on the outside of the contact layer 100, and then the cover is adhered to the edge to adhere the surface layer 400 and the contact layer 100 together, so that the surface layer 400 and the contact layer 100 form a receiving space with the side and bottom edges closed and the upper opening closed, for accommodating the head of the drainage tube 900.
[0035] Furthermore, it also includes a sleeve 500 disposed between the separator 200 and the fixing sticker 300, with openings at both ends of the sleeve 500.
[0036] The sleeve 500 is placed between the fixing sticker 300 and the separating sticker 200 to allow the drainage tube 900 to pass through, so as to prevent the drainage tube 900 from being squeezed and flattened due to the fixing sticker 300 being too tightly bonded.
[0037] Furthermore, the sleeve 500 has a notch 501 on its side wall, which is connected to the inside of the sleeve 500. One end of the fixing sticker 300 is attached to one side of the separator sticker 200, and the other end of the fixing sticker 300 passes around the notch 501 and is fixed to the other side of the separator sticker 200.
[0038] When fixing the adhesive tape 300, the part that bypasses the notch 501 adheres to the drainage tube 900, ensuring a secure fixation even if the part of the adhesive tape 300 adheres to the drainage tube 900.
[0039] Furthermore, the sides and bottom of the surface layer 400 are fixed to the contact layer 100 by the edge sealing 101, and the upper opening of the accommodating space is provided.
[0040] Example 3, referring to Figure 1-3 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the surface layer 400 is an elastic layer; the surface layer 400 is an elastic non-woven fabric layer.
[0041] The surface layer 400 is made of elastic non-woven fabric, which is easy to obtain and manufacture. More importantly, the surface layer 400 is made of elastic material, so when liquid needs to be drained, the opening can be pulled out to a certain size, making it easy for the connector of the drainage tube 900 to be removed from the receiving space.
[0042] Furthermore, edge sealing 101 is medical adhesive tape.
[0043] Furthermore, both the separator tape 200 and the fixing tape 300 are medical elastic adhesive tapes.
[0044] Both the separator tape 200 and the fixing tape 300 use commonly used medical elastic tape, which is readily available, easy to use, and eliminates concerns about damage caused by frequent disassembly and assembly.
