Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical supplies technology, specifically to a PICC fixation film with a built-in arm circumference measuring ruler. Background Technology
[0002] Peripherally inserted central venous catheterization is one of the most commonly used clinical procedures. For patients who require long-term infusion and have poor venous access, catheterization can reduce damage to the patient's veins. For cancer patients, catheterization can safely administer chemotherapy drugs.
[0003] The main materials of the PICC fixation membrane include non-woven fabric PU film, medical polymer materials, medical pressure-sensitive adhesive and release material, which are used to fix indwelling needles, intravenous injection catheters or drainage tubes, etc.
[0004] However, existing PICC fixation films have some defects, such as:
[0005] First, the PICC fixation membrane cannot measure arm circumference, so medical staff cannot quickly understand the patient's arm circumference information. Second, the catheter material is soft and the catheter is long, making it inconvenient to fix the catheter with the fixation membrane, and it cannot be fixed safely and accurately.
[0006] Therefore, this utility model provides a PICC fixing film with a built-in arm circumference measuring ruler to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0007] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a PICC fixing film with a built-in arm circumference measuring ruler to solve the above problems.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0009] A PICC fixing film with built-in arm circumference measuring ruler includes a fixing film, a scale, a first buckle and a second buckle;
[0010] Fixing film: The back side of the fixing film is coated with adhesive, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the lower half of the fixing film;
[0011] Scale: There are two scales, which are fixed to the upper and lower ends of the front side of the fixed film respectively. The two horizontal ends of the scale are aligned with the two ends of the fixed film. A slit is provided between the side of the through hole, the lower end of the fixed film and the scale below.
[0012] First buckle: The first buckle is fixed in the middle of the front side of the fixing membrane, and the first buckle is located above the tube hole;
[0013] Second buckle: The second buckle is fixed to the front side of the fixing film, and the second buckle and the first buckle are horizontally offset;
[0014] The above technical solution involves coating the back of the fixation film with adhesive, allowing it to be applied to the patient's arm to secure the catheter. A perforation hole facilitates the passage of the catheter through the patient's arm. Since the existing catheter port is thicker than other parts, a slit is created to allow the port to pass through the perforation hole. Opening the slit exposes the perforation hole completely. After the catheter port passes through the perforation hole, the two sides of the slit can be attached to the surface of the patient's arm to close the slit. The catheter can also be secured within the first and second clips, ensuring accurate and safe catheter fixation. A ruler, along with the fixation film, surrounds the patient's arm, allowing for a direct view of the arm circumference while the fixation film is being applied.
[0015] Preferably, the length of both the scale and the fixing film is 30 cm, and the initial zero point of the scale is located in the middle of the scale, so that the length of both ends of the scale is 15 cm.
[0016] Preferably, the slit is located at the initial zero point of the scale below;
[0017] The above technical solution avoids visual differences between the crack and other graduations on the ruler. The crack coincides with the initial zero point of the graduation, allowing for a direct and accurate observation of the initial zero point of the ruler's graduations.
[0018] Preferably, a safety film is attached to the front side of the lower scale by adhesive, and the safety film covers the front of the tear;
[0019] Through the above technical solutions, the safety film can prevent the tear from breaking open at will, thus improving safety.
[0020] Preferably, a backing film is attached to the rear side of the fixing film by adhesive.
[0021] With the above technical solution, when the fixing film is not needed, the back film can prevent dust and other substances from sticking to the back of the fixing film. When the fixing film is needed, the back film can be peeled off.
[0022] Preferably, the corner of the back film is integrally formed with a peeling section, and a gap is provided between the peeling section and the back film;
[0023] With the above technical solution, the backing membrane and the fixation membrane are glued together without gaps. It is not easy for medical staff to peel off the backing membrane and the fixation membrane with their fingernails. Therefore, after setting the peeling section, medical staff can quickly peel the backing membrane off the fixation membrane by pinching the peeling section.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0025] In summary, this device can attach a fixation film to the patient's arm to secure the catheter. A perforation hole facilitates the passage of the catheter through the patient's arm. A slit is incorporated to allow the catheter port to pass through the perforation hole, which is then fully exposed. After the catheter port passes through the perforation hole, the two sides of the slit can be attached to the surface of the patient's arm to seal the slit. The device is easy to operate. Furthermore, the catheter can be secured within the first and second clips, ensuring accurate and safe catheter fixation. A ruler, along with the fixation film, surrounds the patient's arm, allowing for a direct view of the arm circumference while the fixation film is being applied. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The following will refer to the attached reference. Figures 1 to 5 The various embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0033] As attached Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 5 As shown, a PICC fixing film with a built-in arm circumference measuring ruler includes a fixing film 4, a scale 2, a first buckle 7, and a second buckle 9.
[0034] Fixing film 4: The back side of fixing film 4 is coated with adhesive, and the back film 3 is attached to the back side of fixing film 4 by adhesive. The length and width of back film 3 are equal to the length and width of fixing film 4. The corner of back film 3 is integrally formed with a peeling part 1. A gap is provided between peeling part 1 and back film 3. A tube hole 6 is provided in the middle of the lower half of fixing film 4.
[0035] Scale 2: There are two scales 2, which are fixed to the upper and lower ends of the front side of the fixed film 4 respectively. The length of scale 2 and fixed film 4 is 30 cm. The scale 2 and fixed film 4 are of equal length, and the two ends of scale 2 are aligned with the two ends of fixed film 4. The length of fixed film 4 is also 30 cm. The initial zero point of scale 2 is located in the middle of scale 2, so that the length of the two ends of scale 2 is 15 cm. A slit 5 is provided between the side of the through hole 6, the lower end of fixed film 4 and the lower scale 2. The slit 5 is located at the initial zero point of scale 2 of the lower scale 2.
[0036] First buckle 7: The first buckle 7 is fixed in the middle of the front side of the fixing film 4, and the first buckle 7 is located above the tube hole 6;
[0037] Second buckle 9: The second buckle 9 is fixed on the front side of the fixing membrane 4. The second buckle 9 and the first buckle 7 are laterally offset, so that the first buckle 7 and the second buckle 9 fix the catheter twice. The first buckle 7 and the second buckle 9 are offset to the left and right and have a certain distance, so that the catheter has a certain curvature between the first buckle 7 and the second buckle 9.
[0038] In this embodiment, a safety film 8 is attached to the front side of the lower scale 2 by applying adhesive, and the safety film 8 covers the front of the crack 5.
[0039] The working principle of this device is as follows:
[0040] In use, pinch and peel off the back membrane 3 from the fixation membrane 4, discard the back membrane 3, fix the catheter on the patient's arm with your hand, and then attach the upper half of the fixation membrane 4, so that the upper half of the fixation membrane 4 first sticks the catheter to the patient's arm. At this time, the fixation membrane 4 near the tear 5 has not yet been attached to the patient's arm. Separate the tear 5, pass the end of the catheter through the tube hole 6, and then attach the fixation membrane 4 near the tear 5 to the patient's arm, so that the tear 5 is closed. Then cover the tear 5 with the safety membrane 8 to improve safety. Then, the excess part of the catheter is locked into the first buckle 7 and the second buckle 9 for fixation. The scale 2 and the fixation membrane 4 surround the patient's arm to intuitively display the arm circumference information.
