Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a tracheostomy tube fixation strap. Background Technology

[0002] Tracheostomy involves cutting open the cervical trachea and inserting a metal or silicone tracheostomy cannula. It is a common surgical procedure to relieve respiratory distress caused by laryngeal origin, respiratory dysfunction, or lower respiratory tract secretion retention. Post-operatively, patients need to wear a tracheostomy cannula for a long period. To ensure the stability of the tracheostomy cannula, it needs to be secured. A tracheostomy cannula fixation strap is an essential device in the tracheostomy system. It connects to the tracheostomy cannula and is fitted around the outside of the patient's neck to secure it and prevent displacement or dislodgement.

[0003] Traditional tracheostomy tube fixation straps are mostly made of cotton cloth, which are wrapped around the neck and tied in a knot at the side hole of the tracheostomy tube to fix it to the neck. However, cotton cloth bags have the following three disadvantages:

[0004] 1. Cotton bandages cause significant discomfort and can easily lead to problems such as local skin redness, blisters, damage, and infection;

[0005] 2. The cotton bag secures the tracheostomy tube with a knot, making it inconvenient to replace the tracheostomy tube;

[0006] 3. The tightness of the cotton band cannot be quantified, which may sometimes cause the neck to be tied too tightly, resulting in discomfort. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this application is to provide a tracheostomy tube fixation strap to solve the problems of existing tracheostomy tube fixation straps made of cotton cloth, which cause obvious discomfort and are prone to local skin redness, swelling, blisters, damage and infection. The cotton cloth straps are also inconvenient to replace because they are fixed with knots, and the tightness of the cotton cloth straps cannot be quantified, which sometimes causes the neck to be tied too tightly and cause discomfort.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: A tracheostomy tube fixing strap is provided, comprising a fixing strap body, a D-ring fastener, and Velcro. The fixing strap body includes an absorbent sponge component, which includes a neck support section and two extension sections. The thickness and width of the neck support section are greater than the thickness and width of the extension sections, respectively. The two extension sections are respectively connected to both ends of the neck support section. Each extension section includes a perforation portion and a fixing and fitting portion connecting the neck support section and the perforation portion. Matching Velcro is provided on the outer surfaces of the fixing strap body portion corresponding to the perforation portion and the fixing strap body portion corresponding to the fixing and fitting portion. A D-ring fastener is fixed on the outer surface of the fixing strap body portion corresponding to each extension section, and the D-ring fastener is located at the connection between the perforation portion and the fixing and fitting portion. Graduation is provided on the fixing strap body portion corresponding to each extension section.

[0009] In one embodiment, the absorbent sponge includes an absorbent sponge layer.

[0010] In one embodiment, the absorbent sponge includes at least two absorbent sponge layers.

[0011] In one embodiment, the softness of the absorbent sponge layer decreases layer by layer from the inside out.

[0012] In one embodiment, the fixing strap body further includes a first fabric layer, which is applied to the outer surface of the entire absorbent sponge.

[0013] In one embodiment, the fixing strap body further includes a second fabric layer, which is applied to the inner side of the perforated portion.

[0014] In one embodiment, the fixing strap body portion corresponding to the neck brace section is provided with ventilation holes.

[0015] In one embodiment, the diameter of the vent hole gradually decreases from the outside to the inside along the thickness direction of the fixing belt body.

[0016] In one embodiment, a rigid insert is provided on the end of the fixing strap body corresponding to the perforated portion that is away from the D-shaped connecting buckle.

[0017] In one embodiment, the rigid insert is made of plastic material.

[0018] The tracheostomy cannula fixing strap described in this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0019] This invention replaces the traditional cotton band with a fixing strap body that includes an absorbent sponge component. Due to the strong absorbency and porosity of the absorbent sponge, it can quickly absorb fluid generated by the skin of the neck in contact with it, increasing patient comfort and reducing the risk of redness, blisters, damage, and infection of the neck skin. The fixing strap body, with its perforated section of the extended portion of the absorbent sponge, passes through the cannula fixing hole of the tracheostomy tube and then through a D-ring fastener. The D-ring fastener provides initial fixation. After passing through the D-ring fastener, the perforated section of the extended portion... The main body of the tracheostomy strap is attached to the corresponding main body of the extended section via Velcro. The Velcro provides secondary fixation, reducing the risk of the tracheostomy strap loosening and ensuring the tracheostomy tube remains securely in place on the patient's neck. The combination of the D-ring and Velcro fasteners also facilitates easy unfastening, making tracheostomy tube replacement convenient. Graduations are provided on the surface of the main body of the extended section to monitor changes in tightness, quantifying the tightness of the tracheostomy strap and improving patient comfort.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 9 This invention relates to a tracheostomy cannula fixing strap, comprising a strap body 10, a D-ring fastener 20, and Velcro 30. The strap body 10 includes an absorbent sponge 11, which includes a neck support section 12 and two extension sections 13. The thickness and width of the neck support section 12 are greater than the thickness and width of the extension sections 13, respectively. The two extension sections 13 are respectively connected to both ends of the neck support section 12. Each extension section 13 includes a perforation 131 for passing through the cannula fixing hole 201 and a connection to the neck support section 13. 2. The fixing and fitting part 132 of the perforated part 131, the outer surface of the fixing strap body 10 part corresponding to the perforated part 131 and the fixing strap body 10 part corresponding to the fixing and fitting part 132 are provided with matching Velcro 30; the outer surface of the fixing strap body 10 part corresponding to each extension 13 is fixed with a slanted connecting buckle 20, the slanted connecting buckle 20 is located at the connection between the perforated part 131 and the fixing and fitting part 132; the fixing strap body 10 part corresponding to the extension 13 is provided with a scale 15.

[0037] In use, first, place the inner side of the absorbent sponge 11 facing the patient's neck, and place the neck brace 12 on the back of the patient's neck so that the neck brace 12 bears all the weight of the patient's neck; then, pass the fixing strap body 10 corresponding to the perforated part 131 of one extension 13 of the absorbent sponge 11 through the cannula fixing hole 201 of the tracheostomy tube 200, and then through the hole of the corresponding D-ring fastener 20. After that, attach the fixing strap body 10 corresponding to the perforated part 131 of the extension 13 to the fixing strap body 10 corresponding to the fixing fitting part 132 of the extension 13 using the matching Velcro 30. Then, perform the same operation on the other extension 13 of the absorbent sponge 11, thereby fixing the tracheostomy tube fixing strap 100 to the entire tracheostomy tube 200. Because the neck brace section 12 bears the entire weight of the patient's neck, and the entire absorbent sponge component 11 mainly adheres to the patient's neck by supporting the neck brace section 12, the thickness and width of the neck brace section 12 of the absorbent sponge component 11 are set to be greater than the thickness and width of the extension section 13. This not only improves the patient's comfort, but also, due to the strong absorbency of the absorbent sponge component 11, it can quickly absorb the liquid generated on the patient's neck. In addition, the porosity of the absorbent sponge component 11 can prevent problems such as redness, blisters, damage, and infection of the patient's neck skin.

[0038] This invention replaces the traditional cotton band with a fixing strap body 10 that includes an absorbent sponge 11. Due to the strong absorbency and porosity of the absorbent sponge 11, it can quickly absorb liquid generated by the skin of the neck in contact with it, increasing patient comfort and reducing the risk of redness, blisters, damage, and infection of the neck skin. The fixing strap body 10, corresponding to the perforated portion 131 of the extension section 13 of the absorbent sponge 11, passes through the cannula fixing hole 201 of the tracheostomy tube 200, and then through the D-ring buckle 20. The D-ring buckle 20 provides a single-stage fixation. After passing through the D-ring buckle 20, the perforated portion 131 of the extension section 13... The corresponding fixation strap body 10 is attached to the fixation fitting part 132 of the extension section 13 via Velcro 30. Under the action of Velcro 30, secondary fixation can be achieved, making the tracheostomy tube fixation strap 100 less prone to loosening and ensuring that the tracheostomy tube 200 is securely placed on the patient's neck. Moreover, the fastening method of the D-ring buckle 20 and Velcro 30 is also easy to loosen, which can facilitate the replacement of the tracheostomy tube 200. A scale 15 is set on the surface of the fixation strap body 10 corresponding to the extension section 13, which can be used to observe the change in tightness, so that the tightness of the tracheostomy tube fixation strap 100 can be quantified, which can improve the patient's comfort.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the absorbent sponge 11 includes a single absorbent sponge layer 14. In other feasible embodiments, the absorbent sponge 11 includes at least two absorbent sponge layers 14. For example, as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the absorbent sponge layer 14 has two layers.

[0040] Optionally, the softness of the absorbent sponge layer 14 decreases gradually from the inside out. This design ensures that the absorbent sponge layer 14 in contact with the neck is the softest, guaranteeing patient comfort, while the absorbent sponge layer 14 not in contact with the patient is harder and relatively cheaper, thus reducing the overall manufacturing cost of the tracheostomy tube fixation strap 100.

[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the fixing strap body 10 also includes a first fabric layer 16, which is attached to the outer surface of the entire absorbent sponge 11. The first fabric layer 16 makes the tracheal tube fixing strap 100 less prone to breakage during use.

[0042] Further optionally, the fixing strap body 10 also includes a second fabric layer 17, such as Figure 7 As shown, the second fabric layer 17 is applied to the inner surface of the perforated portion 131. Because the part of the fixing strap body 10 corresponding to the perforated portion 131 passes through the hole of the D-ring buckle 20 to achieve the first fixation, if the perforated portion 131 made of absorbent sponge material directly contacts the D-ring buckle 20, the perforated portion 131 will suffer friction damage when passing through the D-ring buckle 20, affecting the performance of the perforated portion 131. By providing the first fabric layer 16 on the outer side of the entire fixing strap body 10 and the second fabric layer 17 on the inner side of the perforated portion 131, the perforated portion 131 can be protected by the first fabric layer 16 and the second fabric layer 17. This makes the perforated portion 131 less prone to wear when the part of the fixing strap body 10 corresponding to the perforated portion 131 passes through the D-ring buckle 20, ensuring the performance of the perforated portion 131.

[0043] Furthermore, the second fabric layer 17 is connected to the first fabric layer 16 on both sides along the width direction of the fixing belt body 10, so that the two sides of the perforated portion 131 of the water-absorbing sponge 11 are not exposed and can also be protected.

[0044] The specific position of graduation 15 can be selected according to actual needs, for example, as shown below. Figure 4 , Figure 7 As shown, the scale 15 is set on the outer surface of the fixing strap body 10 corresponding to the fixing and fitting part 132. If there is no first fabric layer 16, as... Figure 4 As shown, the scale 15 is directly set on the outer surface of the fixed bonding part 132. If there is a first fabric layer 16, such as Figure 7 As shown, the scale 15 is provided on the outer surface of the first fabric layer 16 of the fixing strap body 10. For example, the scale 15 is provided on the inner surface of the fixing strap body 10 portion corresponding to the entire extension 13. If there is no first fabric layer 16, the scale 15 is provided on the inner surface of the extension 13. If there is a second fabric layer 17, the scale 15 is provided on the second fabric layer 17 and the portion of the extension 13 not covered by the second fabric layer 17.

[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the neck support section 12 has ventilation holes 18 on the fixing strap body 10, with both ends of the ventilation holes 18 penetrating the fixing strap body 10 along its thickness direction. Because the thickness of the neck support section 12 is greater than the thickness of the extension section 13, the breathability of the fixing strap body 10 corresponding to the neck support section 12 is reduced. By providing ventilation holes 18 on the fixing strap body 10 corresponding to the neck support section 12, the breathability of the neck support section 12 can be improved, making the neck skin in contact with the neck support section 12 less prone to redness, blisters, damage, infection, etc. If the fixing strap body 10 has a first fabric layer 16, such as... Figure 9The ventilation hole 18 needs to penetrate the first fabric layer 16.

[0046] Preferred, such as Figure 9 As shown, the diameter of the vent 18 gradually decreases from the outside to the inside along the thickness direction of the fixing strap body 10. This design increases the air area of ​​the vent 18 in contact with the outside air, which helps to accelerate the drying of liquid generated on the neck skin that is in contact with the neck support section 12 of the absorbent sponge 11. This further makes it less likely for problems such as redness, blisters, damage, and infection to occur on the neck skin in contact with the neck support section 12.

[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, a rigid insert 40 is provided on the end of the fixing strap body 10 corresponding to the perforation 131 that is away from the D-ring buckle 20. The rigid insert 40 helps to make it easier for the fixing strap body 10 corresponding to the perforation 131 to pass through the D-ring buckle 20.

[0048] Preferably, the rigid insert 40 is selected as a flexible, bendable rigid structure.

[0049] Further preferably, the rigid insert 40 is made of plastic material.

[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
