Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical equipment technology, and specifically relates to a PICC dedicated positioning connector. Background Technology

[0002] PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) is a central venous catheter inserted through a vein in the arm. The catheter is inserted directly into a large vein near the heart, avoiding direct contact between chemotherapy drugs and the arm veins. The high blood flow in the large vein quickly dilutes the chemotherapy drugs, preventing irritation to the blood vessels. Therefore, it effectively protects the upper limb veins, reduces the incidence of phlebitis, alleviates patient pain, and improves quality of life. However, PICC connectors are specialized devices, rarely seen in clinical practice. Departments newly implementing intracardiac electrocardiogram (ICC) positioning must purchase them, and the cost is considerable. Therefore, the lack of dedicated PICC connectors is the biggest obstacle to the widespread use of ICC positioning technology. Furthermore, patients need to be very careful when using PICCs, as they may become dislodged. To address the problems mentioned above, we propose a dedicated PICC positioning connector. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a dedicated positioning connector for PICC, which has the advantages of ECG positioning and is not easy to dislodge.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a PICC dedicated positioning connector, including a main line (1), characterized in that: a connector clip (2) is electrically connected to the left side of the main line (1), an ECG electrode pad (3) is welded to the right side of the main line (1), a branch line (4) is welded to the bottom of the ECG electrode pad (3), and an anti-detachment mechanism is provided on the surface of the main line (1).

[0005] The plug (9) connected to the branch line (4) is used to connect to the electrocardiogram monitor; when the PICC catheter is inserted to a length difference of 5cm, the connector (2) is used to connect to the guide wire at the tail of the PICC catheter so that the catheter can be positioned in the optimal position by observing the change of the P wave on the electrocardiogram displayed by the electrocardiogram monitor during the continued insertion of the catheter.

[0006] The above technical solution involves first connecting the PICC line to the ECG monitor. When the PICC catheter is advanced to a length difference of 5 cm from the pre-insertion length, the guidewire at the end of the PICC catheter is connected to the clamp. While continuing to advance the catheter, the changes in the P wave on the ECG are observed. Finally, the catheter is positioned at the optimal location. Compared with traditional X-ray positioning, this PICC catheter positioning method allows for more accurate placement during the procedure, thus greatly increasing the success rate and safety of placement. It is convenient to obtain materials, simple to manufacture, and its effectiveness is not affected. Furthermore, it can be connected to ECG monitors of various specifications, solving current clinical difficulties and promoting the development of PICC technology.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the anti-detachment mechanism includes a fixing pad, the fixing pad is fixedly sleeved on both sides of the surface of the main line, the top two sides of the fixing pad are sewn with straps, the top of the front of the straps is sewn with Velcro A, and the bottom two sides of the back of the fixing pad are sewn with Velcro B.

[0008] The above technical solution employs an anti-dislodgement mechanism. The guidewire at the end of the PICC catheter is connected to the clamp, the front of the fixing pad rests against the patient's arm, the bandage is wrapped around the arm, and Velcro A is attached to Velcro B for fixation. This prevents the PICC catheter from easily dislodging, ensuring good stability. The fluid flow rate is unaffected by the patient's position, facilitating patient movement during infusion, reducing pain and discomfort caused by frequent punctures, and minimizing complications caused by catheter displacement. It is not limited by time or location, can be operated directly, and is simple to use and comfortable to wear.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that there are two fixing pads.

[0010] The above technical solution involves setting two fixing pads to simultaneously secure the upper arm and forearm, further preventing them from falling off.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the end of the branch line away from the ECG electrode is electrically connected to a plug.

[0012] The above technical solution incorporates a plug, enabling the connector to connect to various sizes of electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors.

[0013] The present invention is further provided that the wiring clamp has a spring inside.

[0014] The above technical solution incorporates a spring to prevent the wire clamp from slipping off when holding the wire.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that the material of the strap is an elastic material.

[0016] The above technical solution, by using an elastic material, allows for adjustment when binding the arm, making it comfortable to wear.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that a wire harness is sleeved on the surface of the branch line.

[0018] The above technical solution involves setting up cable ties to allow for the storage of excessively long cables, preventing accidental stepping on them.

[0019] The present invention is further provided that a cotton pad is sewn onto the front side of the fixing pad.

[0020] The above technical solution, by incorporating a cotton pad, makes wearing and using the garment more comfortable.

[0021] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. Compared with traditional X-ray imaging, the PICC catheter positioning method of this utility model can make the intraoperative catheter placement direction more accurate, thereby greatly increasing the success rate and safety of catheter placement. It is convenient to obtain materials, simple to manufacture, and its use effect is not affected in any way. Moreover, it can be connected to various specifications of electrocardiogram monitors, solving current clinical difficulties and promoting the development of PICC technology.
