[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a storage box for a three-way connector and an extension tube. Background Technology
[0002] Many patients, especially those in intensive care units, need to receive multiple treatments simultaneously. These treatments often require multiple infusion lines, and each line may be connected to multiple T-connectors. T-connectors are mainly used in clinical practice for various operations such as infusion, blood collection, and injection. Extension tubes protect the T-connectors from contamination and prevent them from falling off.
[0003] However, as patients require more treatments, the number of catheters and T-connectors attached to them also increases. This not only increases the workload of medical staff but also increases patient discomfort. Existing methods usually involve simply bundling the various tubes and T-connectors together or placing them next to the bed. This method is not only disorganized but also makes it difficult to quickly find the required connectors when emergency procedures are needed.
[0004] In addition, due to the lack of effective organization and labeling, medical staff may sometimes misidentify tee connectors. Therefore, there is a need for a storage box that can organize multiple tee connectors and extension tubes. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Referring to Figures 1-4, this utility model proposes a storage box for a three-way connector and extension tube, including an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2 detachably connected below the upper shell 1. The upper shell 1 or the lower shell 2 is provided with multiple clamping components 3 that correspond one-to-one with the connectors and can clamp the connectors. The storage box allows various infusion tubing and three-way connectors to be neatly placed, enabling medical staff to quickly and accurately find the required three-way connector or deep vein connector. It can reduce the interference of messy infusion tubing and connectors on patients, improve patient comfort, and the storage box can be set with specific color codes or identification symbols, enabling medical staff to more accurately locate the required connectors.
[0023] As a further improvement of this utility model, each clamping component 3 includes two clamping parts 31 that can be clamped on both sides of the joint respectively; by clamping both sides of the joint, the joint can be effectively prevented from shifting due to vibration, thereby improving the stability of the joint.
[0024] As a further improvement of this utility model, the lower housing 2 is provided with a slot 21, and the upper housing 1 is provided with a buckle that can be detachably connected in the slot 21; the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 can be detachably connected through the connection of the slot 21 and the buckle.
[0025] As a further improvement of this utility model, the storage box also includes a liquid-absorbing sheet 4 sleeved on the clamping component 3; the three-way connector may leak liquid during use due to not being tightened, or a small amount of liquid may leak due to quality problems, but if a liquid-absorbing sheet 4 is placed on it, it can prevent the liquid from leaking everywhere; as a preferred solution, the liquid-absorbing sheet 4 can be a sponge pad or a medical sterile pad that can absorb liquid.
[0026] As a further improvement of this utility model, the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are provided with a first opening 11 on the front side and a second opening 12 on the rear side. The arrangement of the first opening 11 and the second opening 12 allows the pipe to pass through on the front and rear sides.
