Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical assistive devices, and more specifically, to a chest drainage tube fixation structure. Background Technology

[0002] A chest drainage tube is a tube with one end inserted into the chest cavity and the other end connected to a water-seal bottle positioned lower than the tube. This allows gas to be expelled or fluid to be collected from the chest cavity, enabling the lung tissue to reopen and restore its function.

[0003] In mild cases, the drainage tube is usually left in place for about 3 days; however, in complex cases, the indwelling time may be extended to about 5 days, thus requiring the drainage tube to be secured. Currently, the common method of securing it is to use tape to stick the drainage tube to the patient's body. However, tape can easily cause skin discomfort and itching in some people, causing considerable distress to the patient. Utility Model Content

[0033] Reference Figure 1-6 ,

[0034] A fixation structure for a chest drainage tube 8 includes: a waist belt 1, a fastener 2, and a connector 3.

[0035] The waist-tightening belt 1 is an adjustable belt used to tighten the waist. The waist-tightening belt 1 has a through-hole 11 that matches the puncture and drainage site. Medical personnel mark the corresponding insertion position of the drainage tube 8 on the patient's body with a marker, then align the through-hole 11 with the mark, and finally tighten the waist-tightening belt 1 around the patient's waist.

[0036] The fastener 2 forms two clamping components for clamping the drainage tube 8. A clamping surface is formed on the clamping component; an adhesive portion 4 is provided on the clamping surface; the adhesive portion 4 contacts the drainage tube 8.

[0037] The connector 3 is used to connect the fastener 2 to the waist belt 1 and to position the fastener 2 at the through hole 11.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, the connector 3 is a plate, which is fixed to the waist belt 1. A groove 31 is formed on the connector 3. The two clamping components are respectively referred to as a first clamping component 21 and a second clamping component 23. Both the first clamping component 21 and the second clamping component 23 are shell structures, and both have protrusions 211 formed on them. The protrusions 211 are outwardly projecting plates. The first clamping component 21 and the second clamping component 23 are mated together to form a complete annular structure. During the mating process, the protrusions 211 are inserted into the groove 31, thus fixing both the first clamping component 21 and the second clamping component 23 to the connector 3. The first clamping component 21 and the second clamping component 23 are connected and fixed together by bolts. The first clamping component 21 and the second clamping component 23 are two mutually detachable structures. Both the first clamping component 21 and the second clamping component 23 have clamping surfaces. After the first clamping component 21 and the second clamping component 23 are fixed together, the clamping surfaces are adhered and fixed to the drainage tube 8 by the adhesive part 4, which uses double-sided adhesive.

[0039] The beneficial effect of this application is that the drainage tube 8 is fixed to the waist belt 1 using the fastener 2, and the waist belt 1 is tightened around the user's waist, thus facilitating the fixation of the drainage tube 8. This eliminates the need to use tape to partially adhere the drainage tube 8 to the user's body, thereby avoiding discomfort caused by tape to the skin and improving patient comfort.

[0040] The fastener 2 is fixed to the drainage tube 8 by the adhesive part 4 on the clamping surface sticking to the drainage tube 8. Therefore, after the drainage tube 8 is inserted, the protrusions 211 on the first clamping component 21 and the second clamping component 23 are both inserted into the groove 31. The clamping surfaces on the first clamping component 21 and the second clamping component 23 will assist the drainage tube 8 through the adhesive part 4. Therefore, the method of fixing the drainage tube 8 is simple and reliable.

[0041] Specifically, the thickness of the waist belt is 5-10mm. This thinness allows for better breathability.

[0042] In another specific embodiment, the fastener 2 also has two clamping components 22 for clamping the drainage tube 8; each clamping component 22 has a clamping surface; when the two clamping components 22 approach each other, the clamping surfaces engage and completely clamp the drainage tube 8; the clamping surfaces are located between the clamping surface and the waistband 1. Both clamping components 22 are block-shaped. A groove matching the through hole 11 is formed in the connector 3. The two clamping components 22 are inserted into the groove, and then bolts are used to fix the clamping components 22 to the connector 3. Preferably, the clamping components 22 are made of sponge padding. Preferably, after the clamping components 22 are placed in the groove, they contact the patient's waist, and the clamping components 22 are made of skin-friendly material.

[0043] Therefore, in practical applications, the drainage tube 8 is pressed against the clamping surface to restrict its position, and then fixed by the adhesive part 4 on the clamping surface. When disassembling the drainage tube 8, the two clamping parts need to be separated. When the two clamping parts are separated, the drainage tube 8 will shake due to the influence of the adhesive part 4. The clamping surface pressing against the drainage tube 8 can prevent the section of the drainage tube 8 that is in contact with the skin from shaking, thus reducing the pain caused during the removal of the drainage tube 8.

[0044] Specifically, in the direction away from the waistband 1, the length of the abutting surface is greater than that of the clamping surface. The longer length of the abutting surface better reduces the swaying of the drainage tube 8.

[0045] In other embodiments, a support frame 5 is provided on the waist belt 1 for placing the water-seal bottle. This facilitates the patient's movement while carrying the water-seal bottle.

[0046] In some embodiments, the waist-tightening belt 1 is provided with a plurality of guide frames 6, and the guide frames 6 are formed with slots for the drainage tube 8 to pass through, so that the drainage tube 8 is wrapped around the waist-tightening belt 1. The drainage tube 8 is located in the slots, so the drainage tube 8 can be partially wrapped around the waist-tightening belt 1, making it easier for the patient to move around.

[0047] In some embodiments, the waist support belt 1 is made of a skin-friendly material, increasing patient comfort when using it.

[0048] In some embodiments, the waist belt 1 has multiple ventilation holes 12. The ventilation holes 12 are mainly to prevent the waist from being stuffy and prone to sweating.

[0049] In some embodiments, both the support frame 5 and the guide frame 6 are detachably connected to the waist belt 1. The detachable connection can be achieved by creating insertion holes in the waist belt 1, and then forming insertion rods on both the support frame 5 and the guide frame 6. These insertion rods are inserted into the insertion holes to fix the guide frame 6 and the support frame 5 to the waist belt 1.

[0050] In some other embodiments, a flexible fabric 7 is sewn onto the waistband 1, and a slot is formed between the flexible portion and the waistband 1. Both the support frame 5 and the guide frame 6 mate with the slot. Insert plates that can be inserted into the slot are formed on both the support frame 5 and the guide frame 6, thus facilitating disassembly.

[0051] The detachable support frame 5 and guide frame 6 are designed so that the patient can lie normally in the hospital bed when not moving.
