Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a peripherally inserted central venous catheter, and more particularly to a fastening connector for a peripherally inserted central venous catheter. Background Technology
[0002] A peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) is a catheter inserted through a peripheral blood vessel and extending to a central vein. It is used for long-term intravenous infusion, drug administration, hemodialysis, nutritional support, and other clinical treatments. This catheter is suitable for patients requiring long-term intravenous therapy, especially those for whom peripheral veins cannot be inserted.
[0003] Existing intravenous catheters are usually one-piece designs, but one-piece intravenous catheters are not suitable for all patients. For patients with smaller body size, the exposed end is too long, which can easily lead to the intravenous catheter being accidentally pulled, thus affecting the effectiveness of infusion or drug injection. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a snap-fit connector for peripherally inserted central venous catheters, which enables the detachable venous catheter, facilitates the connection of catheters of different lengths, and is suitable for patients of different body types, thereby improving the practicality of venous catheters.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a buckling connector for a peripherally inserted central venous catheter is provided, including a buckling seat, a snap-fit tube slidably connected inside the buckling seat, a snap-fit ball movably connected inside the buckling seat, the snap-fit ball movably connected inside the snap-fit tube, a limiting sleeve slidably connected to the outer wall of the buckling seat, and a spring sleeved on the outer wall of the buckling seat, one end of the spring being fixedly connected inside the limiting sleeve, and the other end of the spring being fixedly connected inside the buckling seat.
[0006] Optionally, both the fastening seat and the snap-fit tube have threaded grooves inside, the fastening seat is threaded to an inner tube, and the snap-fit tube is threaded to an outer tube.
[0007] Optionally, a limiting plate is fixedly connected inside the snap-fit tube, and a connecting tube is slidably connected inside the limiting plate. A spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting tube.
[0008] Optionally, one end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the first limiting plate, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the first connecting pipe.
[0009] Optionally, a limiting plate two is fixedly connected inside the fastening seat, and a connecting pipe two is slidably connected inside the limiting plate two, with a spring three sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting pipe two.
[0010] Optionally, one end of the spring three is fixedly connected to the inside of the limiting plate two, and the other end of the spring three is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting pipe two.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. When using this utility model, by sliding the limiting sleeve downward, the limiting sleeve no longer presses against the locking ball, and by the downward compression of the limiting sleeve, the locking ball slides outward and disengages from the inside of the locking tube. At this time, the locking tube can be disassembled. By rotating the external tube and the internal tube, the external tube and the internal tube can be disassembled from the inside of the locking tube and the fastening seat respectively, realizing the disassembly of the intravenous catheter, thereby assisting in splicing external tubes and internal tubes of different lengths.
[0013] 2. This utility model achieves drainage by fitting the lower end of the external tube with the upper end of the first connecting tube, and the upper end of the internal tube with the lower end of the second connecting tube, and by using a snap-fit tube to snap inside the fastening seat so that the lower end of the first connecting tube is aligned with the upper end of the second connecting tube, thereby assisting in infusion or drug injection.

An external tube 7 is threadedly connected inside the snap-fit tube 2, with the lower port diameter of the external tube 7 being the same as the upper port diameter of the connecting tube 9.
[0025] This invention provides a snap-fit connector for peripherally inserted central venous catheters. Compared with the prior art, it enables the disassembly of the venous catheter, facilitating the connection of catheters of different lengths to suit patients of different body types.
[0026] Please refer to another embodiment of this utility model as well. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The buckle tube 2 is internally fixedly connected to a limiting plate 8. The limiting plate 8 is internally slidably connected to a connecting tube 9. A spring 10 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting tube 9. One end of the spring 10 is fixedly connected to the inside of the limiting plate 8, and the other end of the spring 10 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting tube 9. The spring 10 automatically resets the connecting tube 9. The buckle seat 1 is internally fixedly connected to a limiting plate 11. The limiting plate 11 is internally slidably connected to a connecting tube 12. A spring 13 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting tube 12. One end of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to the inside of the limiting plate 11, and the other end of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting tube 12. The spring 13 automatically resets the connecting tube 12.
[0027] Working principle: During use, select the appropriate internal tube 6 and external tube 7 according to the patient's body shape. Thread the internal tube 6 into the inside of the fastening seat 1, and thread the external tube 7 into the inside of the snap-fit tube 2. Then, slide the limiting sleeve 4 downwards, causing the retaining ball 3 inside the fastening seat 1 to slide outwards. This allows the snap-fit tube 2 to pull the external tube 7 into the fastening seat 1. As the limiting sleeve 4 slides downwards, it compresses the spring 5. At this point, the limiting sleeve 4 is released, and the elastic force of the spring 5 causes the limiting sleeve 4 to automatically reset, thus ensuring the fastening tube 7 is inserted into the fastening seat 1. The sleeve 4 slides upward and pushes the locking ball 3 into the inside of the fastening seat 1 through the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 4, causing part of the locking ball 3 to be locked into the inside of the fastening tube 2, thus limiting the fastening tube 2, which facilitates splicing and fastening, and makes it easier to replace the inner tube 6 and outer tube 7 of different lengths; after the fastening tube 2 is inserted into the inside of the fastening seat 1 and limited, the lower end of the outer tube 7 pushes the first connecting tube 9, and the upper end of the inner tube 6 abuts against the lower end of the second connecting tube 12, so that the lower end of the first connecting tube 9 and the upper end of the second connecting tube 12 can be aligned (e.g., Figures 2 to 4 As shown in the figure, the docking between docking tube 1 9 and docking tube 2 12 can assist in the use of the external tube 7 to administer intravenous infusion or drug injection to the patient through docking tube 1 9 and docking tube 2 12 and through the internal tube 6, thus playing a role in docking and drainage.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
