Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical assistive device technology, specifically to a tracheostomy tube fixation device. Background Technology
[0002] Tracheotomy is an emergency surgery for critically ill patients. It establishes an effective artificial airway to alleviate breathing difficulties caused by various factors. Because prolonged mechanical ventilation or artificial airway maintenance is required, the tracheal tube is typically left in place for an extended period after a tracheotomy. Therefore, it is necessary to secure the tracheal tube.
[0003] The tracheostomy tube fixation device for hospital nursing disclosed in CN215351371U addresses the technical problems of existing technologies, such as the need to apply a large amount of medical adhesive tape, which makes the operation of medical staff very complicated and wastes a lot of time. Furthermore, the medical adhesive tape is affected by sweat and secretions, resulting in insufficient adhesion and causing the tube to fall off. Also, the removal of the tube requires tearing the medical adhesive tape multiple times, causing pain to the patient and significantly reducing the patient's comfort.
[0004] However, the tracheostomy tube fixation device used in the hospital's nursing care uses a connecting strap fixation device, which has a low fit to the neck, the insertion tube is not securely fixed, has low stability, and is not easy to cushion the insertion tube. When it is touched by the outside, it will shift and easily damage the patient's airway. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tracheostomy tube fixation device to solve the problems of poor fit to the neck, insufficient fixation of the inserted tube, and inconvenience in cushioning the inserted tube when using a connecting strap fixation device.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, a tracheostomy tube fixation device is provided, comprising a fixing block, wherein a fixing tube is fixedly disposed inside the fixing block; a buffer mechanism is fixedly disposed on both sides of the inner wall of the fixing tube, and a positioning piece is fixedly disposed at one end of the buffer mechanism; a neck strap is fixedly disposed on both sides of the fixing block, and an airbag pad is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the neck strap, wherein an inflation mechanism is connected to the surface of the airbag pad.
[0007] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a protective pad is attached to one side of the surface of the fixing block. The protective pad is made of silicone and is used to protect the tracheotomy site.
[0008] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the buffer mechanism includes a rubber outer sleeve and a polyurethane inner sleeve. The rubber outer sleeve is fixedly disposed on both sides of the inner wall of the fixed tube, and the polyurethane inner sleeve is fixedly disposed inside the rubber outer sleeve. The rubber outer sleeve and the polyurethane inner sleeve are used to buffer the air tube and the positioning plate.
[0009] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the inflation mechanism includes an inflation tube and an inflation ball. One end of the inflation tube is connected to the surface of the airbag pad, and one end of the inflation ball is connected to the end of the inflation tube away from the airbag pad. The inflation ball is used to inflate the inflation tube.
[0010] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the number of buffer mechanisms is several groups, and several buffer mechanisms are equidistantly arranged on the inner wall of the fixed tube along the axial direction, and the buffer mechanisms buffer the inserted tube.
[0011] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the number of neck straps is two sets. One set of neck straps has a sub-hook and loop fastener fixedly provided on its surface, and the other set of neck straps has a female hook and loop fastener fixedly provided on its surface. The sub-hook and loop fasteners are used to connect the two sets of neck straps.
[0012] As a further improvement to this technical solution, there are two sets of the fitted airbag pads and the inflation mechanism. The two sets of fitted airbag pads and inflation mechanisms are symmetrically arranged, and the fitted airbag pads are used to wrap around the patient's neck.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. In this tracheostomy tube fixation device, the fixation block is attached to the patient's tracheostomy site through the neck strap and the fitting air bag pad. Pulling the two sets of neck straps around the patient's neck and connecting the male and female Velcro straps to fix the neck straps, and then pressing the inflation ball, inflating the fitting air bag pad through the inflation tube, causes the fitting air bag pad to expand and fit tightly against the patient's neck, resulting in a better fit and a more secure and stable fixation of the tracheostomy tube.
[0015] 2. In this tracheostomy tube fixation device, the tracheostomy tube is inserted into the fixation tube through the setting of the buffer mechanism. The buffer mechanism drives the positioning plate to position and fix the tracheostomy tube. When the tube is touched and shifts, the rubber outer sleeve and polyurethane inner sleeve buffer the tube, reduce the displacement amplitude, and avoid damage to the patient's incision site.
