Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, specifically an infusion tubing clamp. Background Technology

[0002] In clinical practice, infusion clamps are used to close infusion lines, thereby stopping the infusion flow. Currently, most infusion clamps are integrated with the infusion tubing. While this design facilitates use, it also means the clamps are discarded along with the tubing, making separate recycling and reuse impossible. Infusion tubing, as a disposable item, must be discarded after use to meet medical safety and hygiene standards. However, the integrated design of the clamps and tubing results in the unnecessary waste of potentially reusable components. Given the increasing strain on medical resources, reducing waste and improving resource utilization efficiency have become crucial issues. The reuse of infusion clamps not only affects medical costs and patient expenses but is also closely related to environmental protection. The large-scale disposal of disposable infusion tubing and clamps increases the pressure on medical waste disposal and negatively impacts the environment. Utility Model Content

[0003] An infusion tubing clamp includes an upper clamp and a lower clamp. The upper clamp includes an upper elastic support plate. A first elastic vertical plate and a second elastic vertical plate are respectively provided at both ends of the upper elastic support plate. A first infusion tubing receiving cavity and a second infusion tubing receiving cavity are respectively provided in the middle of the first elastic vertical plate and the second elastic vertical plate. A first inner hook and a second inner hook are respectively provided in the lower end of the first elastic vertical plate and the second elastic vertical plate. An upper squeezing plate is provided in the middle of the upper elastic support plate.

[0004] The lower clamp includes a lower elastic support plate, with a third elastic vertical plate and a fourth elastic vertical plate at each end. A third infusion tube receiving cavity and a fourth infusion tube receiving cavity are respectively provided in the middle of the third elastic vertical plate and the fourth elastic vertical plate. A third outer hook and a fourth outer hook are respectively provided at the upper ends of the third elastic vertical plate and the fourth elastic vertical plate.

[0016] Example 1: As Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, this utility model proposes an infusion tubing clamp, including an upper clamp 100 and a lower clamp 200.

[0017] The upper clamp 100 includes an upper elastic support plate 101. The two ends of the upper elastic support plate 101 are respectively provided with a first elastic vertical plate 102 and a second elastic vertical plate 103. The middle parts of the first elastic vertical plate 102 and the second elastic vertical plate 103 are respectively provided with a first infusion tube receiving cavity 104 and a second infusion tube receiving cavity 105. The lower ends of the first elastic vertical plate 102 and the second elastic vertical plate 103 are respectively provided with a first inner hook 106 and a second inner hook 107. An upper compression plate 108 is provided in the middle of the upper elastic support plate 101.

[0018] The lower clamp 200 includes a lower elastic support plate 201. The two ends of the lower elastic support plate 201 are respectively provided with a third elastic vertical plate 202 and a fourth elastic vertical plate 203. The middle parts of the third elastic vertical plate 202 and the fourth elastic vertical plate 203 are respectively provided with a third infusion tube receiving cavity 204 and a fourth infusion tube receiving cavity 205. The upper ends of the third elastic vertical plate 202 and the fourth elastic vertical plate 203 are respectively provided with a third outer hook 206 and a fourth outer hook 207. A lower compression plate 208 is provided in the middle of the elastic support plate 201.

[0019] The upper extrusion plate 108 on the upper clamp 100 is correspondingly and matched with the lower extrusion plate 208 on the lower clamp 200; the first inner hook 106 and the second inner hook 107 on the upper clamp 100 are hooked together with the third outer hook 206 and the fourth outer hook 207 on the lower clamp 200 respectively.

[0020] The sum of the heights of the upper extrusion plate 108 and the lower extrusion plate 208 is greater than or equal to the sum of the heights of the first elastic vertical plate 102 and the third elastic vertical plate 202, or the sum of the heights of the upper extrusion plate 108 and the lower extrusion plate 208 is greater than or equal to the sum of the heights of the second elastic vertical plate 103 and the fourth elastic vertical plate 203.

[0021] Furthermore, the heights of the first elastic vertical plate 102, the second elastic vertical plate 103, the third elastic vertical plate 202, and the fourth elastic vertical plate 203 are equal; the heights and thicknesses of the upper extrusion plate 108 and the lower extrusion plate 208 are equal.

[0022] Furthermore, it also includes a connecting strap 300, the two ends of which are connected to the upper clamp 100 and the lower clamp 200 respectively by rivets 301. Connecting the upper clamp 100 and the lower clamp 200 by the connecting strap 300 can prevent the upper clamp 100 or the lower clamp 200 from being lost, which would cause the upper clamp 100 and the lower clamp 200 to be mismatched.

[0023] Furthermore, both the upper clamp 100 and the lower clamp 200 are made of polycarbonate or PA46 plastic.

[0024] In use, first, remove the lower clamp 200, pass the infusion tube through the third infusion tube receiving cavity 204 and the fourth infusion tube receiving cavity 205, and place the part of the infusion tube to be closed in the middle of the upper surface of the lower squeeze plate 208. Then, remove the upper clamp 100, align the upper squeeze plate 108 with the lower squeeze plate 208, and squeeze the two ends of the upper elastic support plate 101 and the lower elastic support plate 201 by hand, so that the first inner hook 106 and the second inner hook 107 on the upper clamp 100 hook and fix the third outer hook 206 and the fourth outer hook 207 on the lower clamp 200 respectively.

[0025] Because the infusion tube is cylindrical, and the sum of the heights of the upper squeezing plate 108 and the lower squeezing plate 208 is greater than or equal to the sum of the heights of the first elastic vertical plate 102 and the third elastic vertical plate 202, or the sum of the heights of the upper squeezing plate 108 and the lower squeezing plate 208 is greater than or equal to the sum of the heights of the second elastic vertical plate 103 and the fourth elastic vertical plate 203. Under the action of the first inner hook 106 and the second inner hook 107 on the upper clamp 100 respectively engaging and fixing the third outer hook 206 and the fourth outer hook 207 on the lower clamp 200, the first elastic vertical plate 102 and the second elastic vertical plate 103 generate a downward pulling force on both ends of the upper elastic support plate 101, and the third elastic vertical plate 202 and the fourth elastic vertical plate 203 generate an upward pulling force on both ends of the lower elastic support plate 201, thereby causing the upper elastic support plate 101 and the lower elastic support plate 201 to undergo elastic deformation, and thus forming a squeezing force between the upper squeezing plate 108 and the lower squeezing plate 208, thereby causing the part placed on the infusion tube to close to close, blocking the fluid in the infusion tube.

[0026] When it is necessary to separate the upper clamp 100 and the lower clamp 200, simply move the upper clamp 100 to the left and the lower clamp 200 to the right, or move the upper clamp 100 to the right and the lower clamp 200 to the left. This will separate the first inner hook 106 and the third outer hook 206, as well as the second inner hook 107 and the fourth outer hook 207, thereby separating the upper clamp 100 and the lower clamp 200.

[0027] This utility model's infusion tubing clamp is not an integral design with the infusion tubing. When the infusion tubing is discarded, the clamp can be removed and reused. It can be recycled and reused separately, avoiding waste, reducing medical costs, reducing patient expenses, and reducing the pressure of medical waste disposal.

[0028] Example 2: Figure 4 As shown, the difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the upper end of the upper squeezing plate 108 is fixedly connected to the upper elastic support plate 101, and the lower end of the upper squeezing plate 108 is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion 1081; the lower end of the lower squeezing plate 208 is fixedly connected to the lower elastic support plate 201, and the upper end of the lower squeezing plate 208 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 2081; the arc-shaped protrusion 1081 and the arc-shaped groove 2081 are matched. The design of the arc-shaped groove 2081 can better fix the infusion tubing when the upper clamp 100 and the lower clamp 200 are closed.
