Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chest tube technology, and in particular to a chest tube fixation device to prevent dislodgement. Background Technology
[0002] A chest tube, also known as a chest drainage tube, is a medical device used to drain fluid, blood, or air from the pleural cavity in order to restore and maintain normal respiratory function. Chest drainage is commonly used to treat pneumothorax (collapsed lung), hemothorax (accumulation of blood in the pleural cavity), or other pleural effusions.
[0003] Thoracic drainage is an important treatment method for managing various intrathoracic problems. It can quickly relieve symptoms, improve a patient's respiratory status, and prepare the body for subsequent treatment. However, when using chest tube fixation devices, the connector is often wrapped with adhesive tape, making it difficult to visually inspect whether the connector is tightly connected, thus increasing the difficulty of inspection and maintenance.
[0004] Therefore, a visual anti-dislodgement chest tube fixation device is needed. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Example 1: A chest tube fixation device to prevent dislodgement; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-6The device includes a chest tube body 1, a butterfly-shaped fixing patch 2, a silicone-based adhesive 2002, a support plate 3, a transparent plate 4, a snap-fit block 5, and a secure adhesive 6. The chest tube body 1 is equipped with the butterfly-shaped fixing patch 2, which has several ventilation holes 2001. The butterfly-shaped fixing patch 2 is also equipped with silicone-based adhesive 2002. Silicone-based adhesives are popular due to their softness and breathability, allowing for gentle adhesion to the skin without causing pain or skin damage during removal. A support plate 3 is connected to one side of the butterfly-shaped fixing patch 2, and the support plate 3 has two snap-fit grooves 31. The chest tube body 1 has a sliding... A transparent plate 4 is provided. Two snap-fit blocks 5 are fixedly connected to the side of the transparent plate 4 away from the chest tube body 1. The snap-fit blocks 5 can snap into the snap-fit groove 31. A fastening sticker 6 is connected to the transparent plate 4. The fastening sticker 6 is bonded to the butterfly-shaped fixing sticker 2. The butterfly-shaped fixing sticker 2 and the transparent plate 4 are jointly bonded with transparent tape 20. The transparent tape 20 reinforces the transparent plate 4 and prevents the transparent plate 4 from falling off during use. A tear strip 21 is connected to the transparent tape 20 to facilitate tearing the transparent tape 20. The limiting ring 17 and the protective plate 19 are both made of transparent material to avoid affecting the observation of whether the joint is tightly connected.
[0025] When chest drainage is required, local anesthesia is first administered to the patient. Next, a suitable location is selected on the patient's chest, and the chest drainage tube body 1 is inserted into the chest cavity through a small incision. Then, the other end of the chest drainage tube body 1 is connected to a closed drainage system via a connecting tube. Subsequently, a square fixing patch is applied around the small incision to secure one end of the chest drainage tube body 1. A butterfly-shaped fixing patch 2 is then applied to the patient's chest. Due to its strong adhesiveness, the butterfly-shaped fixing patch 2 effectively prevents the chest drainage tube from falling off and affecting the treatment effect. Next, the transparent plate 4 is moved so that the locking block 5 engages with the locking groove 31, fixing the transparent plate 4 to the chest drainage tube body 1. This allows for direct observation of whether the connection at the joint is tight, reducing the difficulty of inspection and maintenance. Finally, a securing patch 6 is applied to the butterfly-shaped fixing patch 2 to reinforce the transparent plate 4. At this point, negative pressure suction can be used to help remove fluid or gas from the chest cavity more quickly.
[0026] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The chest tube body 1 is detachably equipped with two connecting rings 7. The rear connecting ring 7 is equipped with a stabilizing block 8, which can be inserted into the front connecting ring 7. The front connecting ring 7 is connected to a first silicone plate 9. The rear side of the first silicone plate 9 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 10. The rear connecting ring 7 is connected to a second silicone plate 11. The limiting plate 10 and the second silicone plate 11 are engaged. The front side of the second silicone plate 11 is fixedly connected to an adhesive plate 12, which is engaged with the first silicone plate 9. The first silicone plate 9 and the second silicone plate 11 are provided with protective cotton 13, which protects the chest tube body 1 and prevents damage to the tube.
[0027] When the tubing needs to be replaced, first move the front connecting ring 7 to both ends of the chest tube body 1; then, move the rear connecting ring 7 and engage it with the front connecting ring 7, securing both connecting rings 7 onto the chest tube body 1; then, simultaneously squeeze the first silicone plate 9 and the second silicone plate 11, causing the limiting plate 10 to engage with the second silicone plate 11 and the fitting plate 12 to engage with the first silicone plate 9, thus closing the tubing; this simplifies the operation process and avoids tubing damage that may be caused by the traditional use of double-layer hemostatic forceps, thereby preventing functional impairment.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 A limiting ring 17 is provided on the transparent plate 4. Fixing plates 16 are fixedly connected to both sides of the limiting ring 17. A retaining ring 14 is snapped onto the fixing plate 16. A fixing strap 15 is connected to the retaining ring 14. A Velcro strap 18 is connected to the fixing strap 15. A protective plate 19 is provided between the limiting ring 17 and the transparent plate 4. The protective plate 19 is made of rubber. The rubber is relatively soft, which reduces the pressure exerted by the limiting ring 17 on the transparent plate 4.
[0029] After fixing the transparent plate 4, the fixation strap 15 is placed on the patient's abdomen. The tightness of the fixation strap 15 is then adjusted as needed to ensure it fits the patient's body shape. Next, the Velcro straps 18 at both ends of the fixation strap 15 are fastened together to securely fix the strap 15 to the patient's abdomen. This provides secondary fixation to the chest tube body 1, preventing the chest tube from loosening and falling off, thus affecting the treatment effect. Furthermore, both the limiting ring 17 and the protective plate 19 are transparent components, ensuring unobstructed observation of the joint.
[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
