Description

A patient gown for visualizing PICC placement status Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the medical field, specifically to a patient gown for visualizing the status of PICC catheterization. Background Technology

[0002] Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are widely used in patients requiring long-term intravenous infusions, chemotherapy, or parenteral nutrition support. However, PICC placement often brings a range of nursing needs and potential complications, placing special demands on daily patient care and medical monitoring.

[0003] Currently, the following problems mainly exist in clinical practice:

[0004] Inconvenient observation of the insertion site: After PICC insertion, the puncture site needs to be checked regularly for bleeding, oozing, or infection. However, traditional hospital gowns are mostly long-sleeved, requiring repeated removal or rolling up of the sleeves for each examination. This not only increases patient pain and the complexity of the procedure but may also cause catheter displacement, dressing loosening, and even increase the risk of contamination due to friction from clothing. In addition, patients with limited mobility may have difficulty exposing the insertion area at night, potentially delaying the timely detection of abnormalities.

[0005] Insufficient accuracy of arm circumference monitoring: In order to identify catheter-related thrombosis or phlebitis in the early stage, the arm circumference of the upper arm on the catheter insertion side needs to be measured regularly. Medical staff need to hold a tape measure to measure, which is cumbersome and inconvenient, and may affect the patient's rest. In addition, the measurement results are affected by the tightness of the sleeve, which reduces the reliability of clinical judgment.

[0006] In summary, traditional hospital gowns have functional deficiencies and operational defects in the postoperative care of PICC line insertion. There is an urgent need for a special hospital gown that combines convenient observation and accurate measurement assistance to improve nursing efficiency, reduce the risk of complications, and improve patient compliance. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a patient gown for visualizing PICC placement status, which can intuitively and efficiently confirm the status of the placement site, monitor and provide real-time feedback on the current arm circumference at the placement site, promptly detect and address abnormalities, effectively improve the work efficiency of medical staff, reduce the risk of complications, and improve patient compliance.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A patient gown for visualizing PICC placement status includes a gown body, an observation piece, and a measuring component. The gown body has a visual slot at the position corresponding to the upper limb to expose the PICC placement location. The observation piece is a sheet structure that is movably mounted on the visual slot and is transparent. The measuring component is positioned around the gown body at the position corresponding to the upper limb to monitor and provide feedback on the current arm circumference in real time.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the patient gown used for visualizing PICC placement status, which adopts the above technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] This invention relates to a patient gown for visualizing PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) placement. Medical staff can clearly and intuitively view the catheter placement site through an observation panel. The observation panel can be opened by separating or flipping it to perform infusion or nursing procedures, eliminating the problems associated with rolling up sleeves. Furthermore, the gown's built-in measuring components provide real-time monitoring and feedback of arm circumference values, eliminating the need for medical staff to carry measuring tapes, perform manual measurements, or address inaccurate measurements. This not only improves the efficiency of medical staff but also increases the accuracy of measurement results, enhancing the reliability of clinical judgment. The gown features automatic measurement and reminders. Additionally, patients or their caregivers can use this feedback to make basic assessments, reducing the risk of complications.

[0012] Preferably, the observation element is a transparent membrane structure, and its edge can be attached to or magnetically fixed to the edge of the viewing slot. The edge of the observation element also allows for perforations through which existing catheters can pass. Due to the detachable structure of the observation element, medical personnel can flexibly select the opening range of the observation element according to operational needs. Furthermore, in conjunction with the perforation structure, this allows for the fulfillment of treatment and nursing requirements without affecting the patient's bed rest.

[0013] Preferably, the measuring component includes a ring, a positioning strip, a locking element, and a feedback element. The positioning strip is located at one end of the ring, and the other end of the ring has a movable groove for the positioning strip to move. The end surface of the ring with the movable groove has a locking groove and a feedback groove communicating with the movable groove. Multiple locking elements are provided on the surface of the positioning strip and are elastically configured. The side of the locking element away from the movable groove is an inclined surface. The feedback element is located on the surface of the locking elements and / or the ring. The multiple locking elements can enter the locking groove and the feedback groove for fixation. Utilizing the elasticity of the locking elements and the guiding effect of the inclined surface, as the patient's arm circumference gradually increases, the positioning strip gradually extends from the movable groove, and the multiple locking elements retract into the movable groove for synchronous displacement. When the locking elements are displaced to the corresponding locking groove and feedback groove for the arm circumference, the locking elements automatically pop out to lock. This not only meets the automatic locking requirement before and after the arm circumference increases but also, in conjunction with the display effect of the feedback element, achieves the feedback purpose before and after the arm circumference increases.

[0014] Preferably, the feedback element is a scale mark on the ring and the positioning strip, and a directional mark is provided on the edge of the feedback groove facing the scale mark. With the cooperation of the scale mark and the directional mark, part of the positioning strip will be exposed when the arm circumference increases. The directional mark can be used as a starting point mark, and together with the scale of the entire ring and the scale mark of the positioning strip, the current arm circumference value and the increased arm circumference value can be quickly read.

[0015] Preferably, the feedback element further includes multiple indicator lights of different colors, each located on the surface of a plurality of locking elements. Before and after arm circumference increases, by viewing the different colored indicator lights displayed in the feedback slot, and considering the different arm circumference values ​​corresponding to different colors in a preset scheme, an automatic reminder effect is achieved, providing a more intuitive understanding of the severity of the current arm circumference expansion.

[0016] Preferably, the ring is integrally connected to the garment body, and a skin-friendly layer is detachably connected to the inner surface of the ring. Because the skin-friendly layer has a detachable assembly structure, it can be cut according to the placement orientation of the tube, providing space for tube placement.

[0017] Preferably, the viewing slot and the observation element are both located on the annular plate. The measuring assembly also includes two docking plates located on both sides of the end of the annular plate without the positioning strip. The movable slot, locking slot, and feedback slot are all located on the docking plates. Due to the placement of the docking plates, which are located on both sides of the viewing slot, the docking and measuring structures at both ends of the annular plate will not affect the use of the viewing slot and the observation element, thus ensuring that multiple functions do not interfere with each other and can be used simultaneously.

[0018] Preferably, the measuring component further includes a gripping rod, the gripping part being connected to the end of the positioning strip, and the side wall of the mating piece having a groove for the end of the gripping rod to move. The gripping rod's pulling action on the positioning strip facilitates the insertion of the positioning strip and is suitable for continued monitoring and feedback after arm circumference reduction or restoration.

[0025] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] The patient gown used for visualizing PICC placement status, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, includes a gown body 1, an observation piece 2, and a measurement component 3.

[0027] The garment 1 has a visual groove 4 at the position corresponding to the upper limb to expose the PICC insertion site. The observation element 2 is a sheet structure that is movably disposed on the visual groove 4, and the observation element 2 is transparent. In this embodiment, the observation element 2 is a membrane structure made of transparent material. The edge of the observation element 2 can be attached to or magnetically fixed to the edge of the visual groove 4, and the edge of the observation element 2 can be provided with a perforation 20 through which an existing catheter can pass.

[0028] The measuring component 3 is positioned around the upper limb of the garment 1 to monitor and provide feedback on the current arm circumference in real time. The measuring component 3 includes a ring 30, a positioning strip 31, a locking element 32, and a feedback element.

[0029] The positioning strip 31 is located at one end of the ring piece 30, and the other end of the ring piece 30 is provided with a movable groove 33 for the positioning strip 31 to move. The end surface of the ring piece 30 with the movable groove 33 is provided with a locking groove 34 and a feedback groove 35 communicating with the movable groove 33. Multiple locking members 32 are provided, and multiple locking members 32 are located on the surface of the positioning strip 31. The locking members 32 are elastically set, and the side of the locking member 32 away from the movable groove 33 is an inclined surface. The feedback member is located on the surface of the locking member 32 and / or the ring piece 30. Multiple locking members 32 can enter the locking groove 34 and the feedback groove 35 for fixation.

[0030] In this embodiment, the feedback components are scale markings 5 ​​on the ring 30 and positioning strip 31, and multiple indicator markings 6 of different colors. A directional marking 50 is provided on the edge of the feedback groove 35 facing the scale markings 5, and multiple indicator markings 6 are respectively provided on the surface of multiple locking components 32. Specifically, in terms of quantity and color, this embodiment has five locking components 32, as shown in Figure 5. From left to right, the locking components 32 in the figure are "red," "orange," "yellow," "green," and "blue," corresponding to different arm circumference sizes, or different degrees of severity, with red being the most severe and blue representing a normal arm circumference.

[0031] In order to avoid the influence of the tightness of the garment body 1 itself, the ring 30 is integrally connected with the garment body 1. The inner surface of the ring 30 is detachably connected with a skin-friendly layer 7. In this embodiment, the skin-friendly layer 7 is made of pure cotton or hydrocolloid dressing, which can be directly attached to the inner side of the ring 30. It can also be cut according to the placement position of the tube before being attached to provide space for the tube placement.

[0032] In addition, to ensure that the observation and monitoring of the arm circumference operation can be carried out simultaneously, the visual slot 4 and the observation piece 2 are both set on the ring piece 30. The measuring component 3 also includes two docking pieces 8, which are set on both sides of the end of the ring piece 30 where the positioning strip 31 is not provided. The movable slot 33, the locking slot 34 and the feedback slot 35 are all set on the docking pieces 8.

[0033] To facilitate the initial fitting and subsequent reassembly of the positioning strip 31, the measuring component 3 also includes a gripping rod 9, the gripping part of which is connected to the end of the positioning strip 31, and the side wall of the mating piece 8 is provided with a rod groove 90 for the end of the gripping rod 9 to move.

[0034] In addition, this embodiment also includes a trouser body 10. When the upper limb vein is not in good condition or is not suitable for catheterization, the lower limb vein can be selected for PICC catheterization. Correspondingly, the measuring component 3 can be applied to the leg to monitor and provide feedback on the leg circumference data in real time.

[0035] It should also be noted that the basic wearing operation of the hospital gown in this embodiment is the same as that of the existing ones, and it can be fastened by the button in the middle. During use, before wearing the hospital gown, cut the skin-friendly layer 7 to the corresponding shape according to the patient's insertion position, and attach the skin-friendly layer 7 to the inside of the ring 30 so that the PICC insertion position is in the visible slot 4 position. Fix the edge of the observation piece 2 to the edge of the visible slot 4, and hold the gripping rod 9, press the locking piece 32 appropriately, and pull the positioning strip 31 into the depth of the movable slot 33 to form the state shown in Figure 5. One of the locking pieces 32 is embedded in the locking slot 34, and the rightmost locking piece 32 is embedded in the feedback slot 35. At this time, the locking piece 32 in the feedback slot 35 is a blue indicator 6, indicating that the current arm circumference is in a normal state. If the patient's arm circumference subsequently increases, the ring 30 expands as a whole. Due to the guiding effect of the inclined surface, some force is applied to the locking elements 32 in the locking groove 34 and feedback groove 35, allowing these two locking elements 32 to retract into the movable groove 33, temporarily releasing the lock. When other locking elements 32 move to the openings of the locking groove 34 and feedback groove 35, they automatically engage, achieving automatic locking of the ring 30 after expansion. Medical staff use the directional marker 50 as a starting point and quickly read the current arm circumference value and the increased arm circumference value based on the overall scale of the ring 30 and the individual scale marks of the positioning piece. When the arm circumference value is not read, the severity of the arm circumference increase can be quickly and intuitively determined by the color displayed in the current feedback groove 35.

[0036] The above description is a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
