Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a tracheostomy cannula adjustment and fixation device. Background Technology

[0002] Tracheostomy involves cutting open the cervical trachea and inserting a metal or rubber tracheostomy cannula. It is a common surgical procedure to relieve respiratory distress caused by laryngeal origin, respiratory dysfunction, or lower respiratory tract secretions. Clinically, the tracheostomy cannula is fixed to connecting tubes on both sides of the cannula with ties after insertion.

[0003] Traditional methods are commonly used to fix the tracheostomy tube in the neck, but these methods are prone to loosening. If the tube is too loose, it can cause displacement or slippage, while if it is too tight, it can cause discomfort to the patient. Furthermore, these methods lack protection for the placement of the tube in the neck, and even small movements by the patient can cause discomfort in the throat. Therefore, we propose a tracheostomy tube adjustment and fixation device to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0006] The connecting plate is positioned directly above the internal nasal tube in the neck. An airway is fitted inside the connecting plate, and the bottom of the airway is inserted into the internal nasal tube in the neck to supply oxygen to the patient's lungs.

[0007] The shaped sponge blocks are symmetrically distributed and attached to both sides of the internal larynx in the neck, with the upper end of the shaped sponge blocks in contact with the connecting plate, in order to distribute the pressure on the patient's neck.

[0008] The winding mechanism, located outside the inner throat tube of the neck, is used to define the position of the connecting plate in conjunction with the conforming sponge block;

[0009] The limiting mechanism is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the winding mechanism and is used to limit the winding mechanism.

The breathable cotton pad is fitted to the bottom of the neck, and the rubber elastic band is symmetrically distributed and fixed to the upper surface of the breathable cotton pad, with the inner side of the rubber elastic band in contact with the outer side of the conformal sponge block.

[0013] Preferably, adhesive cotton tapes are symmetrically distributed and fixed on the top of the rubber elastic band, and the two sets of adhesive cotton tapes pass through the adjacent connecting rings and are then folded and attached to the outside of the rubber elastic band.

[0014] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a rubber connecting block one, a rubber connecting block two, a hook and loop fastener two, and a hook and loop fastener three. The rubber connecting block one is symmetrically distributed and fixed on the front side of the rubber elastic band, the rubber connecting block two is symmetrically distributed and fixed on the rear side of the rubber elastic band, and the cross-section of the rubber connecting block two is a "T" shaped structure.

[0017] 1. With this utility model, the nurse can hold the adhesive cotton tape with two fingers of both hands and pull it downwards, so that the adhesive cotton tape on both sides is tightly attached to the outside of the rubber elastic band. Then, the nurse can use both thumbs to rotate the second rubber connecting block, so that the third hook and loop fastener on it is tightly attached to the second hook and loop fastener. At this time, the adhesive cotton tape can be sandwiched between the first rubber connecting block and the second rubber connecting block. Then, the adhesive cotton tape is folded upwards to stick to the first hook and loop fastener. This bonding method is not only more secure and less prone to loosening, but also safer to use.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a tracheostomy cannula adjustment and fixing device, including a connecting plate 3, and further including:

[0026] The ventilation tube 4 is fitted inside the connecting plate 3, and the bottom of the ventilation tube 4 is inserted into the inside of the cervical larynx to supply oxygen to the patient's lungs. Connecting rings 5 ​​are symmetrically distributed and fixed on the upper end face of the connecting plate 3, and the cross-section of the connecting rings 5 ​​is U-shaped. The connecting rings 5 ​​are used to cooperate with the subsequent winding mechanism and limiting mechanism to limit the connecting plate 3.

[0027] The conformal sponge blocks 2 are symmetrically distributed and attached to both sides of the internal larynx in the neck, with the upper end of the conformal sponge blocks 2 in contact with the connecting plate 3. This is used to distribute the pressure on the patient's neck. The conformal sponge blocks 2 have a certain degree of elastic deformation capability, are made of soft material, and can be trimmed using cutting tools. The conformal sponge blocks 2 can be trimmed according to the patient's neck before placement to make them fit the internal larynx in the neck better when placed, thus protecting the ventilation tube 4. At the same time, the conformal sponge blocks 2 can deform to a certain extent under the action of the subsequent winding mechanism, which can reduce the pressure on the internal larynx caused by the connecting plate 3, making it safer and more comfortable to use.

[0028] The wrapping mechanism, located outside the cervical trachea, is used to limit the position of the connecting plate 3 in conjunction with the conformal sponge block 2. The wrapping mechanism includes a breathable cotton pad 6 and a rubber elastic band 7. The breathable cotton pad 6 is fitted to the bottom of the neck, and the rubber elastic band 7 is symmetrically distributed and fixed to the upper surface of the breathable cotton pad 6. The inner side of the rubber elastic band 7 contacts the outer side of the conformal sponge block 2. The breathable cotton pad 6 has a large contact area with the back of the patient's neck to prevent strangulation marks. At the same time, the use of breathable cotton material prevents pressure sores and improves the comfort of use. The top of the rubber elastic band 7 is symmetrically fixed with adhesive cotton tape 8. After passing through the adjacent connecting ring 5, the two sets of adhesive cotton tape 8 are folded in opposite directions and attached to the outer side of the rubber elastic band 7. The adhesive cotton tape 8 can pass through the connecting ring 5 and then be folded downward and pulled tight to fit tightly against the outer side of the rubber elastic band 7. The adhesive cotton tape 8 can be adjusted according to the neck circumference of the patient in conjunction with the subsequent limiting mechanism.

[0029] A limiting mechanism, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the winding mechanism, is used to limit the winding mechanism. The limiting mechanism includes rubber connecting block 1 (9), rubber connecting block 2 (10), hook and loop fastener 2 (12), and hook and loop fastener 3 (1). Rubber connecting block 1 (9) is symmetrically distributed and fixed to the front side of the rubber elastic band 7. Rubber connecting block 2 (10) is symmetrically distributed and fixed to the rear side of the rubber elastic band 7, and its cross-section is T-shaped. Hook and loop fastener 2 (12) is symmetrically distributed and fixed to the outside of rubber connecting block 1 (9), and hook and loop fastener 3 (1) is symmetrically distributed and fixed to the outside of rubber connecting block 2 (10). Rubber connecting block 2 (10) is rotatable, and hook and loop fastener 3 (12) can be... The inner side of the rubber connecting block 2 10 is symmetrically fixed with Velcro 1 11, and the adhesive tape 8 can be glued to the outer side of Velcro 1 11. The nurse can hold the adhesive tape 8 with two fingers of both hands and pull it down, so that the adhesive tape 8 on both sides is tightly attached to the outer side of the rubber elastic band 7. Then, the nurse can use both thumbs to rotate the rubber connecting block 2 10, so that Velcro 3 1 and Velcro 2 12 are tightly glued together. At this time, the adhesive tape 8 can be clamped between the rubber connecting block 1 9 and the rubber connecting block 2 10. Then, the adhesive tape 8 is folded up to glue it to Velcro 1 11. This bonding method is not only more secure and less prone to loosening, but also safer to use.

[0030] Working principle: First, the connecting plate 3 is set directly above the internal larynx in the neck. The ventilation tube 4 is sleeved inside the connecting plate 3, and the bottom of the ventilation tube 4 is inserted into the internal larynx in the neck to supply oxygen to the patient's lungs. The connecting ring 5 is set to cooperate with the subsequent winding mechanism and limiting mechanism to limit the connecting plate 3.

[0031] When using this method, the nurse can hold the adhesive tape 8 with two fingers of both hands and pull it downwards, making sure that the adhesive tape 8 on both sides is tightly against the outside of the rubber elastic band 7. Then, the nurse can use both thumbs to rotate the rubber connecting block 2 10, so that the Velcro 3 1 and Velcro 2 12 are tightly bonded together. At this time, the adhesive tape 8 can be clamped between the rubber connecting block 1 9 and the rubber connecting block 2 10. Then, the adhesive tape 8 can be folded upwards to bond it to the Velcro 1 11. This bonding method is not only more secure and less prone to loosening, but also safer to use.

[0032] Furthermore, the contoured sponge block 2 can be trimmed according to the patient's neck before placement, making it fit the internal trachea of ​​the neck better during placement, thus protecting the ventilation tube 4. At the same time, the contoured sponge block 2 can deform to a certain extent under the action of the winding mechanism, which can share the pressure on the internal trachea of ​​the neck caused by the connecting plate 3, making it safer and more comfortable to use. Meanwhile, the adhesive cotton tape 8 can be clamped between the rubber connecting block 1 9 and the rubber connecting block 2 10, and can be pulled to both sides to adjust the tightness of the binding state, making the force more even when the connecting plate 3 is pressed down for adjustment, thus making it more comfortable.

[0033] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
