Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular, to a liquid food feeding tube. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, for some patients requiring liquid feeding, the procedure generally involves cutting the gastric tube in two and connecting the tube connector to the syringe tip to create a Dekind tube. The length of the Dekind tube varies depending on individual patient differences, facial structure, postoperative swelling, and the size of the iodoform sample. After aspirating the liquid food, the free end of the Dekind tube is placed in the intermolar space behind the patient's molars. The nurse slowly pushes the syringe to inject the liquid food while simultaneously asking the patient to swallow. The injection is paused during swallowing to avoid choking or discomfort. A second injection is then performed after swallowing. This feeding method is widely used in cases where patients cannot open their mouths or experience discomfort after intermaxillary traction, maxillary resection, or cleft lip and palate surgery.
[0003] However, the above methods still have shortcomings. For example, during the feeding process, the scimitar tube needs to be repeatedly separated from the syringe nipple, which increases the labor intensity of the feeder. During the aspiration of liquid food, the part of the syringe will also repeatedly come into contact with the liquid food. As the position of the syringe moves, the liquid food attached to the surface of the syringe will be left behind, which may drip onto any place other than the container holding the liquid food, causing contamination and thus increasing the labor intensity of the caregiver. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a liquid food feeding tube to avoid the feeder repeatedly separating the tube from the syringe, thus reducing the feeder's workload.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A liquid food feeding tube includes a first tube body, a second tube body, and a medical three-way valve. One end of the first tube body and one end of the second tube body are respectively connected to a first port and a second port of the medical three-way valve. The third port of the medical three-way valve is used to connect a syringe. Through the suction action of the syringe and the reversing action of the medical three-way valve, liquid food can flow from the free end of the first tube body to the free end of the second tube body.
[0007] In an optional embodiment, when the syringe performs a withdrawal action, the first and third ports of the medical three-way tube are adjusted to be in a connected state so that liquid food enters the syringe through the first tube and the medical three-way tube;
[0008] When the syringe performs an injection action, the second and third ports of the medical three-way tube are adjusted to be in a connected state so that liquid food can be discharged through the medical three-way tube and the second tube body.
[0009] In an optional embodiment, the free end of the first tube is connected to a third tube, which is used to insert a liquid food container.
[0010] In an optional embodiment, the diameter of the third tube is larger than the diameter of the first tube.
[0011] In an optional embodiment, the third tube is made of a thermosensitive material or has a thermosensitive coating on its surface.
[0012] In an optional embodiment, the third tube is provided with a snap fastener for securing it to the edge of the liquid food container so that the third tube remains inserted into the liquid food container.
[0013] In an optional embodiment, the buckle can be adjusted and fixed along the length of the third tube.
[0014] In an optional embodiment, both the first tube and the second tube are made of transparent material.
[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] By inserting the free end of the first tube into the liquid food and the free end of the second tube into the interdental space behind the patient's molars, the liquid food can be injected into the patient's mouth through the first tube, the medical three-way tube, and the second tube by the suction action of the syringe. This avoids the feeder repeatedly separating the tube from the syringe and also avoids the problem of syringe contamination. The feeder only needs to adjust the flow direction of the medical three-way tube during the suction process, which reduces the workload of the feeder.
[0017] In addition to the objectives, features, and advantages described above, this utility model has other objectives, features, and advantages. The present utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the figures. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model provides a liquid food feeding tube, including a first tube body 100, a second tube body 200, and a medical three-way tube 300. One end of the first tube body 100 and the second tube body 200 are respectively connected to the first port 310 and the second port 320 of the medical three-way tube 300. The third port 330 of the medical three-way tube 300 is used to connect a syringe 500. Through the suction action of the syringe 500 and the reversing action of the medical three-way tube 300, liquid food can flow from the free end of the first tube body 100 to the free end of the second tube body 200.
[0028] It should be noted that the working principle of the medical three-way tube 500 is to control the flow direction of the fluid (in this embodiment, liquid food) through internal valves or structural design. Furthermore, by connecting the syringe 500 to the third port 330 of the medical three-way tube 300, inserting one end of the first tube 100 into the liquid food, and adjusting the flow direction of the medical three-way tube 500 according to the pulling state of the syringe 500, the flow direction of the liquid food is adjusted, thereby allowing the liquid food to be drawn from the free end of the first tube 100 and discharged from the free end of the second tube 200.
[0029] Specifically, when the syringe 500 performs a withdrawal action, the first port 310 and the third port 330 of the medical three-way tube 300 are adjusted to be in a connected state so that liquid food can enter the syringe 500 through the first tube body 100 and the medical three-way tube 300.
[0030] When the syringe 500 performs the injection action, the second port 320 and the third port 330 of the medical three-way tube 300 are adjusted to be in a connected state so that liquid food can be discharged through the medical three-way tube 300 and the second tube body 200;
[0031] It should be noted that the free end of the first tube 100 is inserted into the liquid food, while the free end of the second tube 200 is inserted into the interdental space behind the patient's molars. Through the suction action of the syringe 500, the liquid food can be injected into the patient's mouth via the first tube 100, the medical three-way tube 300, and the second tube 200. This avoids the need for the feeder to repeatedly separate the feeding tube from the syringe in existing technologies, and also avoids syringe contamination issues. Only the flow direction of the medical three-way tube 300 needs to be adjusted during suction. Furthermore, in this embodiment, both the first tube 100 and the second tube 200 are made of transparent material. The transparency of the first tube 100 and the second tube 200 makes it easier to observe the flow of the liquid food within them.
[0032] Furthermore, a third tube 400 is connected to the free end of the first tube 100. The third tube 400 is used to insert into a liquid food container. The length of the first tube 100 can be extended by the third tube 400 to facilitate the insertion of the third tube 400 into the liquid food container. Moreover, the diameter of the third tube 400 is larger than the diameter of the first tube 100. This thicker design of the third tube 400 reduces the work required to suction the liquid food, making suction easier.
[0033] In this embodiment, the third tube 400 is made of a heat-sensitive material or has a heat-sensitive coating on its surface. The heat-sensitive material or coating allows at least a portion of the color of the third tube 400 to change with the temperature of the liquid food, enabling the feeder to quickly ascertain the temperature of the liquid food and preventing burns to the patient.
[0034] Furthermore, a buckle 410 is provided on the third tube 400. The buckle 410 is used to fix it to the edge of the liquid food container so that the third tube 400 remains inserted into the liquid food container. The buckle 410 can be adjusted and fixed along the length of the third tube 400. The adjustable and fixed design of the buckle 410 and the third tube 400 facilitates adjustment of the buckle 410's position, thereby adjusting the depth of the third tube 400 inserted into the liquid food container, avoiding the feeder's need to hold it. In this embodiment, the buckle 410 is positioned 5cm to 6cm above the free end of the third tube 400. The buckle 410 allows the third tube 400 to be inserted into the liquid food container, avoiding the need to hold it and reducing the feeder's workload.
[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
