Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to an adsorption structure for an esophageal fistula device and the esophageal fistula device thereof. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in patients with esophageal fistulas, after external medication, the fistula gradually shrinks during treatment, and fluid (such as pus, exudate, and necrotic secretions) accumulates within it, requiring aspiration. Operators typically create a disposable suction head using materials such as medical gauze. This suction head is connected to a drainage tube, and an esophagoscope is used to insert it into the fistula opening within the esophagus. The suction head is then used to absorb the exudate, keeping the fistula dry. However, the use of this homemade suction head (i.e., placing it directly into the fistula) is inefficient, with poor suction, especially when the fistula is large. Larger suction heads require more preparation time and are less efficient.
[0003] Therefore, how can we overcome the problems of low efficiency and poor adsorption effect in esophageal fistula fluid adsorption operations? Utility Model Content

[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0038] See Figures 1 to 4 In specific embodiment 1, an adsorption structure for an esophageal fistula device is provided. The adsorption structure includes a drainage tube 2 and a sponge adsorption head 1. The sponge adsorption head 1 is a hollow cylinder that can cover the fistula opening 9-1 of the esophageal fistula 9 (i.e., the passage opening where the esophageal fistula 9 connects to the esophagus 8). Even if the fistula opening 9-1 is large in the early stage of treatment, the cylindrical sponge adsorption head 1 placed in the esophagus 8 can completely cover the fistula opening 9-1, absorb the pus and other fluids overflowing from the fistula opening 9-1, and keep the wound dry.
[0039] The surface of the sponge suction head 1 is provided with several spiral grooves 1-1, and spiral protrusions 1-2 are formed between adjacent spiral grooves 1-1. When the sponge suction head 1 is inserted into the esophagus 8 and reaches the fistula opening 9-1 of the esophageal fistula 9, the spiral protrusions 1-2 are squeezed and deformed. The spiral grooves 1-1 provide space for the deformation of the spiral protrusions 1-2, which is suitable for the esophageal 8 of different sizes in different people. When the sponge suction head 1 reaches the fistula opening 9-1 of the esophageal fistula 9, the spiral protrusions 1-2 corresponding to the fistula opening 9-1 will extend and more closely cover the fistula opening 9-1.
[0040] The term "spiral" refers to the spiral extension of the cylindrical sponge adsorption head 1 upwards and downwards along its axial direction. Compared to the designs of axially linear grooves and axially linear protrusions, the design of the spiral groove 1-1 and spiral protrusion 1-2 in this embodiment 1 results in a larger overall volume and area for the spiral protrusion 1-2, enabling it to adsorb more liquid and achieve a better adsorption effect. The spiral protrusion 1-2 also has a larger contact area with the inner wall of the esophagus 8, allowing it to fit more closely to the sidewall of the esophagus 8 and increasing friction.
[0041] In addition, the spiral protrusions 1-2 make it difficult for a coaxial parallel gap to be formed between the sponge suction head 1 and the patient's esophagus 8. Even if the patient's esophagus 8 is wide, the spiral protrusions 1-2 placed in the esophagus 8 cannot completely fill the gap created by the spiral grooves 1-1 after being compressed and deformed. This gap is also spiral-shaped. If there is a lot of fluid in the fistula 9-1 and the fluid in the sponge suction head 1 is not suctioned out in time, resulting in fluid in the gap, the spiral gap increases the retention time of the fluid in the gap. The spiral gap design makes the fluid flow down slower and the amount of fluid flowing down is smaller, reducing the possibility of fluid dripping into the esophagus 8 or even the stomach, making it safer to use.
[0042] The diameter of the two ends of the sponge suction head 1 is smaller than the diameter of the middle part of the sponge suction head 1. In other words, the sponge suction head 1 is shaped with small ends and a large middle part. This makes it easier for the sponge suction head 1 to enter and exit the esophagus 8, reducing the patient's discomfort.
[0043] One end 2-1 of the drainage tube is provided with several air windows 2-3. The hollow part 1-3 of the sponge adsorption head 1 wraps around the drainage tube 2, and the sponge adsorption head 1 covers the air windows 2-3. Under the action of the negative pressure device, the drainage tube 2 draws air out through the air windows 2-3. The liquid adsorbed in the sponge adsorption head 1 (such as pus, exudate, and necrotic secretions) will slowly collect in the hollow part 1-3 and enter the drainage tube 2 through the air windows 2-3, and then be drawn into the negative pressure device (such as the negative pressure bottle 6) by the drainage tube 2. Preferably, the air windows 2-3 are evenly distributed on the drainage tube 2. The air windows 2-3 can be arranged in multiple rows horizontally and vertically, or they can be distributed in a staggered manner, all to more evenly absorb the liquid stored in the sponge adsorption head 1 from all directions and improve the suction efficiency.
[0044] Preferably, the drainage tube 2 is provided with a marking part 2-4 for displaying the length, such as raised or recessed numerical marks, or printed numerical marks. The marking part 2-4 is arranged from one end 2-1 of the drainage tube to the other end 2-2 of the drainage tube, so that the operator can intuitively see the length of the drainage tube 2-1 that extends into the patient's esophagus 8, and grasp the depth or position of the sponge suction head 1 in the esophagus 8, thereby improving the efficiency of the use of the sponge suction head 1.
[0045] In this embodiment 1, the specific usage of the adsorption structure for an esophageal fistula device involves the operator placing the sponge adsorption head 1 inside the esophagus 8, corresponding to the fistula opening 9-1 of the esophageal fistula 9, using an esophagoscopy. The sponge adsorption head 1 then seals the fistula opening 9-1, immediately absorbing the fluid produced by the esophageal fistula 9. Utilizing the tiny pores and channels inside the sponge, the fluid produced by the esophageal fistula 9 rises or flows within these pores (i.e., the capillary action of the sponge), enabling the sponge adsorption head 1 to adsorb the fluid. A negative pressure device connected to the other end of the drainage tube 2 then generates negative pressure, causing the fluid adsorbed by the sponge adsorption head 1 to enter the drainage tube 2 through the air window 2-3. The drainage tube 2 then guides the fluid into the negative pressure device, completing the aspiration of the fluid from the fistula opening 9-1 of the esophageal fistula 9.
[0046] In this embodiment 1, the sponge suction head 1 is a disposable item. It needs to be replaced with a new sponge suction head 1 every 4-5 days in order to continuously absorb the fluid produced by the esophageal fistula and keep the fistula dry.
[0047] See Figures 5 to 6In specific embodiment 2, an adsorption structure for an esophageal fistula device is provided. The difference between embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that the drainage tube 2 includes a first tube body 3 and a second tube body 4. The hollow portion 1-3 of the sponge adsorption head 1 wraps around the first end 3-1 of the first tube body. The fourth end 4-2 of the second tube body is connected to a negative pressure device. A snap-fit structure 5 for quick installation is provided between the second end 3-2 of the first tube body and the third end 4-1 of the second tube body. The split-type drainage tube 2 design, combined with the sponge adsorption head 1, makes the entire adsorption structure more convenient and comfortable to use. The procedure can be simplified into three steps: First, leave the fourth end 4-2 of the second tube outside the body for later connection to the negative pressure device. Insert the third end 4-1 of the second tube into the patient's nasal cavity, then through the patient's throat and mouth, and remove the third end 4-1. Second, leave the second end 3-2 of the first tube outside the body for later connection to the third end 4-1. Insert the first end 3-1 of the first tube, along with the sponge suction head 1, into the esophagus 8 through the patient's mouth and throat until the sponge suction head 1 seals the fistula opening 9-1 of the esophageal fistula 9. Third, insert the first... The second end 3-2 of the tube body is connected to the third end 4-1 of the second tube body, for example, the two are snapped together to form a whole. Finally, the fourth end 4-2 of the second tube body is pulled, so that the connection between the second end 3-2 of the first tube body and the third end 4-1 of the second tube body (for example, the snap-fit structure 5) is retracted into the oral cavity and into the esophagus 8. At this time, one end of the drainage tube 2 is located in the esophagus 8, and the other end of the drainage tube 2 is located outside the nasal cavity and connected to the negative pressure device. During this process, the sponge suction head 1 enters the esophagus 8 through the mouth and throat, without passing through the nasal cavity, so there will be no problem that the sponge suction head 1 cannot be inserted into the nasal cavity, thus improving the patient's comfort.
[0048] Preferably, the outer side of the second end of the first tube 3 is provided with a plurality of locking teeth 5-1, and the inner side wall of the first end of the second tube 4 is provided with a plurality of locking grooves 5-2. The locking teeth 5-1 and the locking grooves 5-2 form a snap-fit structure 5. It is only necessary to insert the second end 3-2 of the first tube into the third end 4-1 of the second tube to quickly engage the locking teeth 5-1 with the locking grooves 5-2, thereby realizing the function of quick connection between the first tube 3 and the second tube 4. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.
[0049] The outer surface of the second end 3-2 of the first tube is provided with a sealing ring 3-3 for forming a sealing structure with the inner wall of the third end 4-1 of the second tube. The sealing ring 3-3 is located below the retaining teeth 5-1. When the first tube 3 and the second tube 4 are quickly connected, the sealing ring 3-3 precisely seals the opening of the third end 4-1 of the second tube, or the sealing ring 3-3 can also fit against the inner wall of the third end 4-1 of the second tube to form a sealing structure. No air leakage will occur at the connection between the first tube 3 and the second tube 4, avoiding affecting the negative pressure environment inside the drainage tube 2 and avoiding affecting the adsorption effect of the adsorption structure.
[0050] See Figures 7 to 9 In specific embodiment 3, this embodiment 3 provides an esophageal fistula device, which includes an adsorption structure used in the esophageal fistula device of the aforementioned embodiment. The air inlet 6-3 of the negative pressure bottle is connected to the other end 2-2 of the drainage tube (for example, the air inlet 6-3 of the negative pressure bottle is connected to the fourth end 4-2 of the second tube). The air outlet 6-4 of the negative pressure bottle is connected to a suction bag 7 for drawing out the gas in the negative pressure bottle 6 to form a negative pressure (for example, the air outlet 6-4 of the negative pressure bottle and the suction bag 7 are connected by a trachea 7-1). The suction bag 7 ensures that the negative pressure bottle 6 can maintain a negative pressure environment, so that the use of the esophageal fistula device 9 is not limited by the site or conditions (for example, no power is required, just manually press the suction bag 7). The suction bag 7 is equipped with a one-way valve (not shown in the figure). The one-way valve can only release air and cannot allow air to enter.
[0051] The negative pressure bottle 6 has two symmetrical concave arc surfaces 6-1 on its outer side, which makes it easy for the operator to hold the negative pressure bottle 6 with one hand.
[0052] The outer side of the negative pressure bottle 6 has a recessed area 6-2 for storing the suction bag 7. The suction bag 7 can be stored in the recessed area 6-2 at any time, making the operation simple and convenient.
