Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical supplies technology, and in particular to a sterile dressing for fixing catheters. Background Technology

[0002] Burn patients experience significant fluid loss due to the presence of burn wounds. This fluid loss can lead to hypovolemic shock. Central venous catheterization can rapidly and effectively replenish blood volume, ensuring circulatory stability. After central venous catheterization, medical staff typically use sterile dressings to tightly cover the area around the puncture site, securely fixing the catheter to the skin to prevent infection, maintain cleanliness of the puncture site, and prevent catheter displacement or dislodgement, ensuring stable functioning during treatment. However, burn patients require a well-ventilated environment for wound healing. Traditional dressings have poor breathability, potentially hindering wound healing and increasing the risk of infection. Furthermore, patients with large burn areas often have severe conditions and may experience agitation due to pain and discomfort. In such cases, ordinary dressings are unlikely to effectively secure the central venous catheter, easily leading to catheter pulling and dislodgement, thus affecting normal treatment.

[0003] Therefore, we propose a sterile dressing for fixing catheters to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a sterile dressing for fixing catheters to solve the aforementioned technical problems.

[0005] This utility model embodiment adopts the following technical solution: it includes a dressing body, an adhesive component with an adhesive effect on one side, and a positioning unit disposed on the adhesive component. The dressing body is used to be applied to the puncture point on the patient's skin, and the dressing body is provided with a connection hole for the catheter to pass through. One end of the adhesive component is connected to the dressing body through a connecting part. The positioning unit includes multiple flexible positioning components for positioning the catheter. One end of the flexible positioning component is fixedly connected to the adhesive component, and the movable end and the fixed end of the flexible positioning component are detachably connected through a connector. When the movable end and the fixed end of the flexible positioning component are connected, they can form a circumferential state around the catheter, and the circumferential direction of the catheter between two adjacent flexible positioning components is opposite. The adhesive component increases the overall contact area with the skin or clothing, thereby improving the fixing effect of the positioning unit on the catheter.

[0006] Furthermore, the dressing body has a transparent observation section on the outer periphery of the connection hole for observing the bleeding at the puncture point, so as to check the treatment during use.

[0007] Furthermore, the inner wall of the connecting hole is provided with an elastic friction part to improve the fixing effect on the conduit.

[0008] Furthermore, the dressing body has a straight tear line, and the two ends of the tear line extend to the end of the dressing body and the inner wall of the connecting hole, respectively, so that the dressing body can be torn open and the catheter can be inserted into the connecting hole.

[0009] Furthermore, the dressing body is provided with a limiting member located on one side of the tear line, which allows the separated dressing body to be reconnected.

[0010] Furthermore, the corners of both the adhesive body and the adhesive are rounded to reduce the lifting of the edges and corners of the adhesive body and the adhesive.

[0011] The above-mentioned technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of this utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0012] In this invention, the dressing body is directly applied to the puncture site to maintain a sterile environment and reduce the risk of infection. The positioning unit on the adhesive component fixes the catheter leading out from the puncture site in an "S" shape, which can disperse the tension when subjected to force, avoid excessive local stress, and reduce the risk that the other end of the catheter can be easily pulled out from the puncture site. The adhesive component increases the overall contact area with the skin or clothing, making the catheter more securely fixed. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] This utility model provides a sterile dressing for fixing a catheter, including a dressing body 1 for application to the patient's skin puncture site. To facilitate the passage of the catheter through the puncture site, a connection hole 11 is provided on the dressing body 1. The dressing body 1 can be made of hydrocolloid dressing or alginate dressing. Hydrocolloid dressing has good breathability. Its outer layer is a waterproof semi-permeable membrane, preventing the invasion of external bacteria while allowing oxygen and water vapor to pass through. This type of dressing can absorb small to moderate amounts of exudate, creating a moist healing environment on the burn wound. Alginate dressing, mainly made from natural seaweed extracts, has strong absorbency and can absorb large amounts of exudate, making it an ideal choice for burn wounds with significant exudate. It also has good breathability and forms a gel-like substance after absorbing exudate, providing a moist healing environment for the wound and promoting hemostasis. Therefore, the choice can be made according to the patient's specific condition. A suitable dressing body 1 is selected. An adhesive component 2 is connected to one side of the dressing body 1 via a connecting part 21. One side of the adhesive component 2 has an adhesive effect, and this adhesive surface can be covered with a release layer before use. During use, the release layer is peeled off, and then the adhesive component 2 is adhered to the patient's body or clothing via the adhesive surface. Furthermore, to secure the catheter leading from the puncture point and prevent it from being pulled off by the patient, a positioning unit for securing the catheter is provided on the adhesive component 2. The positioning unit includes a pair of flexible positioning elements 3, one end of which is fixed to the adhesive component 2. The flexible positioning element 3 is connected to the fixed end of the flexible positioning element 3 via a connector 31. When the flexible positioning element 3 is connected to the fixed end, it can form a loop around the conduit, and the looping directions of two adjacent flexible positioning elements 3 are opposite. The detachable connection method can be Velcro or snap fasteners. In use, the conduit is fixed by passing it through the flexible positioning elements 3 in sequence, so that the part of the conduit in the positioning unit is in an "S" shape. When the conduit is subjected to a tensile force, the bent part will be pulled first. This process can absorb some of the pulling force, thereby reducing the force directly acting on the puncture site at the catheter root, reducing the risk of the catheter being pulled off, and improving the stability of the catheter fixation. Furthermore, when the patient moves, the catheter is subjected to pulling forces from different directions. If the flexible positioning element 3 is wrapped in the same direction, it may cause the catheter to shift in a weak direction. However, the wrapping in the opposite direction can better disperse these pulling forces. Even if the opening end of one of the flexible positioning elements 3 is accidentally opened, the opposite flexible positioning element 3 will still fix the catheter, thereby improving the fixation effect of the catheter.

[0025] Preferably, in order to facilitate observation of the puncture site, the dressing body 1 is also provided with a transparent observation section 12 at the outer periphery of the connection hole 11. The observation section 12 can be made of transparent sterile film dressing, etc., to facilitate observation of bleeding.

[0026] Preferably, the inner wall of the connection hole 11 is provided with an elastic friction part 13. The elastic friction part 13 can be made of medical silicone or the like. When the catheter passes through the connection hole 11, it comes into contact with the catheter through the elastic friction part 13, which can fit tightly against the outer wall of the catheter and play a good sealing role. This helps to prevent external bacteria, dust and other contaminants from entering the puncture site through the gap between the connection hole 11 and the catheter, thus maintaining a sterile environment at the puncture site.

[0027] Preferably, the dressing body 1 has a straight tear line 4, and the two ends of the tear line 4 extend to the end of the dressing body 1 and the inner wall of the connecting hole 11, respectively. Before the dressing body 1 is attached to the patient's puncture site, one end of the dressing body 1 can be divided into two parts by the tear line 4, so that the connecting hole 11 can be sleeved on the outside of the catheter, so as to facilitate the attachment of the dressing body 1 to the puncture point of the patient's body.

[0028] Furthermore, to improve the stability of the dressing body 1 after partial tearing, a limiting member 5 is provided on the dressing body 1. The limiting member 5 is located on one side of the tear line 4. The limiting member can be medical tape or the like. The limiting member 5 reconnects the two parts of the dressing body 1 after tearing, and can prevent the catheter from falling off the torn dressing body 1. Since the elastic friction part 13 in the connecting hole 11 is an annular shape that coincides with the inner circumference of the connecting hole 11, it is not completely closed. Therefore, the catheter can enter the connecting hole 11 from the tear point on the dressing body 1. At the same time, the elastic friction part 13 has a certain elasticity and can contact the outer wall of the catheter as much as possible, thereby achieving a sealing effect as much as possible.

[0029] Preferably, both the patch body 1 and the adhesive 2 have rounded corners 6 at their corners. During use, the right-angled parts of a square or rectangular shape are easily affected by external forces, such as when the patient moves, clothing rubs against them, or the adhesive tension of the patch changes. Stress concentration is more likely to occur at the right angles. The rounded corner design can distribute the stress evenly on the edges of the patch body 1 and the adhesive 2, reducing the lifting of the corners caused by stress concentration, and making the fit and adhesion effect better.

[0030] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
