Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a medical treatment towel, specifically a disposable hemodialysis treatment towel component, belonging to the field of medical and health products technology. Background Technology

[0002] Catheter care in the hemodialysis environment is a core intervention for preventing bloodborne infections and has been proven effective in reducing catheter-related bloodborne infections. The nursing requirements for dialysis catheter tip care during each hemodialysis session are: keep disinfection time within 5 minutes to avoid prolonged exposure and increase the risk of infection.

[0003] Currently available hemodialysis initiation care kits typically include a treatment towel, a suitable amount of iodine-soaked cotton balls, forceps, adhesive tape, dressings, gloves, etc. However, there are still certain shortcomings in the use of these kits to perform catheter-level care procedures on patients undergoing dialysis, mainly in the following aspects:

[0004] (1) Only one treatment towel is provided. When the patient is on dialysis machine, this treatment towel should be placed under the end of the dialysis catheter. The old gauze used to protect the end of the catheter after the previous dialysis is removed first. This gauze is taken home by the patient and returned to the hemodialysis room for hemodialysis machine 48 to 72 hours later. During this period, the gauze and tape are exposed to the natural environment where the patient lives, and the surface is basically contaminated. When the old gauze is removed, the treatment towel will be contaminated. This treatment towel will be used to wrap the end of the catheter when the patient is on the machine. The contaminated treatment towel is prone to catheter-related blood infection.

[0005] (2) When starting dialysis, after removing the old gauze protecting the catheter end and disinfecting the catheter end, the nursing staff must remove the catheter end protective cap and use a syringe to draw out the heparin solution used to seal the catheter end before connecting the dialysis tubing to the catheter end. The existing hemodialysis starting care kit does not have the corresponding syringe, and the nursing staff have to cross the sterile area to get it from another place, which is not convenient to ensure sterile operation.

[0006] (3) The iodine disinfectant cotton balls in the existing hemodialysis machine care kit are sealed in separate bags. After the care kit is unpacked, they will be placed in a disorderly manner, which is inconvenient for nursing staff to use. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a disposable hemodialysis treatment towel assembly, which includes a small treatment towel and a large treatment towel stacked one on top of the other. The small treatment towel has a sterile cotton swab and a syringe inserted for easy access. When used for the nursing operation of the dialysis catheter end during machine dialysis, it can ensure that a sterile treatment towel is used to wrap the catheter end during machine dialysis, and can also arrange the items needed for catheter end nursing operation in an orderly manner, making them easy to access and ensuring sterile operation.

[0008] The specific technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0009] A disposable hemodialysis treatment towel assembly includes a small treatment towel and a large treatment towel stacked on top of each other. Both the small and large treatment towels are rectangular sterile medical treatment towels. The large treatment towel has a V-shaped notch in the middle of its rear edge. The small treatment towel is stacked on top of the large treatment towel, with its rear edge covering the pointed corner of the V-shaped notch. Easy-tear medical tape is provided on the top surface of the small treatment towel near its rear edge to adhere and fix its rear edge to the large treatment towel. The top of the small treatment towel... The center of the face is the pillow area; the top left side of the small treatment towel has a left pocket with the opening facing backward and the bottom closed. A set of removable sterile medical cotton swabs is inserted into the left pocket, with the cotton tips inside and the ends of the cotton cores protruding outside the left pocket; the top right side of the small treatment towel has a right pocket with the opening facing backward and a perforation at the bottom. Two removable sterile medical syringes are inserted into the right pocket, with the syringe handles and needle sheaths protruding from the opening and bottom perforation of the right pocket, respectively.

[0010] This treatment towel kit is used during dialysis catheter care procedures. Nursing staff can place the kit under the catheter tip. First, remove the contaminated old gauze from the catheter tip onto the smaller treatment towel. Then, use the cotton swabs and syringe from the smaller treatment towel's pocket to disinfect the catheter tip with iodine and draw heparin solution for sealing. The smaller treatment towel can then be torn open and discarded. A sterile, uncontaminated larger treatment towel can be used to support the disinfected catheter tip for dialysis tubing connection and securing. Using this treatment towel kit ensures that sterile treatment towels are used to wrap the catheter tip during dialysis. It also allows for the organized arrangement of necessary items for catheter care, making them easily accessible and reducing the need to search for items and cross sterile areas during procedures. This saves disinfection time and effectively reduces the risk of catheter infection. Attached Figure Description
