Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, specifically to an oxygen inhalation tube anti-pressure foam patch. Background Technology

[0002] Oxygen therapy is currently the most common measure to improve patient ventilation. Oxygen catheters are made of relatively rigid materials, and existing oxygen catheter branching technology includes... Figure 1 As shown, the nose pad 7 is located on the philtrum, and the two nasal inhalers 6 are located inside the nostrils. The main pressure points of the oxygen catheter are the philtrum, both cheeks, behind both ears, and the chin. When worn for a long time, the skin is more prone to pressure injury due to external forces such as pressure and friction caused by the oxygen catheter. Clinical nurses often use methods such as wrapping gauze to reduce the related pressure, but there are the following technical defects: it is inconvenient to obtain materials, it is time-consuming and laborious to manually wrap and fix the gauze to the oxygen catheter, and the gauze is easily soiled by the patient's body fluids, sweat, vomit, etc. Some medical tapes have poor softness, which leads to a decrease in patient comfort.

[0003] Therefore, designing an anti-pressure foam pad for oxygen inhalation tubes has become an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an oxygen inhalation tube anti-pressure foam patch to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] See Figure 1-3The structures, proportions, and sizes illustrated in the accompanying drawings are merely for illustrative purposes and to aid those skilled in the art. They are not intended to limit the scope of this invention and therefore have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, provided they do not affect the effectiveness or purpose of this invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed herein. Furthermore, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity and not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of this invention.

[0017] Example 1: A pressure-resistant foam pad for oxygen inhalation tubes, referenced. Figure 2 The foam patch body is installed on the outer ring of the oxygen conduit branch. One end of the foam patch body is provided with a pressure-reducing layer. A tearable adhesive layer is provided on the end face of the pressure-reducing layer near the oxygen conduit branch. The surface of the pressure-reducing layer away from the tearable adhesive layer is smooth and does not easily absorb water. The foam patch body includes a widened part that wraps around the nose pad 7 and a wrapping part that wraps around the two nasal inhalers 6. A hollow part is provided between the wrapping part and the widened part. This invention employs a smooth pressure-reducing layer that is not easily absorbent and can be wiped with alcohol, reducing the pressure of the oxygen catheter on the skin, improving patient comfort, and lowering the incidence of catheter-related pressure injuries. A tearable adhesive layer can be bonded to the outer layer of the catheter. A perforated section is provided between the winding and widening sections, facilitating the winding section to wrap around the outer ring of the nasal support between the two nasal inhalers, while the widening section wraps around the outer circle of the nasal support. The materials are readily available, and the device is disposable. This invention solves the technical shortcomings of manually wrapping and fixing gauze to the oxygen catheter, which is time-consuming and laborious, easily soils the gauze with patient fluids, sweat, vomit, etc., and some medical tapes have poor softness, leading to decreased patient comfort.

[0018] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the widened portion includes a first widened portion 1 and a second widened portion 3. A first winding portion 2 is provided between the first widened portion 1 and the second widened portion 3. The first winding portion 2 has a cross-shaped structure, and the two ends of the horizontal plate of the cross-shaped structure are respectively connected to the first widened portion 1 and the second widened portion 3. This utility model adopts a first winding portion with a cross-shaped structure. The two ends of the horizontal plate of the cross-shaped structure are respectively connected to the first widened portion and the second widened portion. The first winding portion is wrapped around the outer circle of the nasal pad section between the two nasal inhalers. The first widened portion and the second widened portion wrap around the outer circle of the nasal pad section on the outside of the two nasal inhalers. The materials are readily available, and it is disposable. It solves the technical defects of manually wrapping and fixing gauze to the oxygen tube, which is time-consuming and laborious. Patient body fluids, sweat, vomit, etc. can easily soil the gauze. Some medical tapes have poor softness, which leads to a decrease in patient comfort.

[0019] Example 3: Based on Example 2, the widths of the first widened portion 1 and the second widened portion 3 are the same. The width of the horizontal plate of the cross-shaped structure is smaller than the width of the first widened portion 1. The vertical plate of the cross-shaped structure forms a first hollow portion between itself and the first widened portion 1 and the second widened portion 3. This utility model uses the first widened portion and the second widened portion to have the same width, and the width of the horizontal plate of the cross-shaped structure is smaller than the width of the first widened portion. This allows the vertical plate of the cross-shaped structure to form a first hollow portion between itself and the first widened portion and the second widened portion. When the first winding portion is wrapped around the outer ring of the nose pad section between the two nose suction points, it will not affect the use of the first widened portion and the second widened portion.

[0020] Example 4 differs from Example 2 in that, referring to... Figure 3 The widened portion includes a third widened portion 5, and a second winding portion 4 is provided on one side of the middle of the third widened portion 5. The second winding portion 4 and the third widened portion 5 form an inverted T-shaped structure. This utility model uses a second winding portion with a 1-shaped structure and a third widened portion to form an inverted T-shaped structure. The third widened portion wraps around the outer circle of the nasal pad section, and the second winding portion wraps around the outer circle of the third widened portion between the two nasal inhalers. It is easy to obtain materials, can be used only once, and solves the technical defects of manually wrapping and fixing gauze to the oxygen tube, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the gauze is easily soiled by patient body fluids, sweat, vomit, etc., and some medical tapes have poor softness, resulting in a decrease in patient comfort.

[0021] Example 5: Based on Example 4, a second hollow portion is provided on both sides of the contact end between the second winding portion 4 and the third widening portion 5. In this invention, the second hollow portion is provided on both sides of the contact end between the second winding portion and the third widening portion. When the outer ring of the nose pad section of the third widening portion is wound, it will not affect the outer ring of the third widening portion between the two nose suction points.

[0022] In practice, the length of the foam patch body is 65~70cm (nasal cavity + both cheeks + both ears + chin), the width of the foam patch body can wrap the oxygen tube branches, and the two ends of the foam patch body can be freely cut.

[0023] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
