Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the medical field, specifically to a patient gown for children with catheters. Background Technology

[0002] With advancements in medical technology, peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) and implantable access ports have become essential treatment options for children undergoing chemotherapy, long-term parenteral nutrition, and antibiotic therapy. These devices require long-term placement, necessitating regular drug infusions, maintenance procedures (such as flushing and dressing changes), and imaging examinations. However, current hospital gowns are generally not optimized for these specific medical needs, leading to numerous inconveniences in practical application of these treatment procedures.

[0003] Currently, traditional hospital gowns mostly adopt a one-piece or fully enclosed design, lacking functional openings at the cuffs, collar, and torso. When patients need to expose the PICC catheter insertion site or port-a-cath implantation area, they often have to completely remove their clothing, repeatedly roll up their sleeves, or cut the gown themselves to create temporary openings. This approach has the following significant drawbacks:

[0004] The procedure is cumbersome and lacks privacy: frequent undressing or rolling up of clothing can easily expose the patient's physical privacy.

[0005] Insufficient comfort and warmth: Some patients need to expose the catheter area in cold environments, resulting in local chilling.

[0006] Low nursing efficiency: Medical staff need to assist patients with adjusting their clothing during procedures, which prolongs nursing time and affects clinical work efficiency.

[0007] Although there are some improved hospital gowns in the existing technology (such as those with openings), their functions are still limited. For example, the covering structure at the tube insertion site is not tightly closed, or the operation of resetting the covering is cumbersome and inconvenient, or the covering structure is made of hard material and protrudes outside the clothing, affecting the aesthetics and causing discomfort.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an improved solution for pediatric patient gowns that can meet the needs of catheter and infusion port use while also taking into account patient privacy, comfort, and ease of medical operation. Utility Model Content

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hospital gown for children with PICC lines. The gown can be designed to open according to the location of the infusion port, allowing for easy access to the infusion port. For children with PICC lines, the gown can be easily opened with one hand for easy viewing and use of the infusion. The gown automatically resets and covers the infusion port when not in use. Furthermore, all components are integrated with the gown, and the material and structural thickness are designed for adaptability, ensuring that it will not cause any discomfort or unusual sensations during long-term wear.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0011] A patient gown for children undergoing catheter placement includes a body with a pre-set slot at the chest position. A protective element is provided on the inner side of the body corresponding to the pre-set slot. The portion of the body corresponding to the upper limb is a sleeve with a catheter placement slot and an automatically concealing cover on the outer side of the slot. The pre-set slot is horizontally positioned at the chest position. The protective element is a sheet-like structure, with its side away from the skin sewn to the pre-set slot via a butt joint. The connection between the butt joint and the pre-set slot is detachable. The area of ​​the protective element exceeds the area of ​​the pre-set slot. The butt joint is located in the middle of the protective element, with a portion of it passing through the pre-set slot and exposed to the outside. The protective element is flexible, with smooth, curved edges.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the patient gowns for children with catheters using the above-mentioned technical solution have the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This invention relates to a patient gown for children with PICC lines or infusion ports. It can be worn normally and facilitates the use of these devices. The gown utilizes protective components to reduce excessive friction on the chest skin, and features a pre-set opening on the chest corresponding to the location of the infusion port. Without cumbersome operations, the gown's movement can be directly controlled to expose and use the PICC line. When not in use, the gown automatically covers the PICC line without the need for buttons or other fastening structures. The overall operation is simple and convenient, eliminating the need for complicated opening and closing procedures. Furthermore, the gown resembles ordinary clothing, avoiding any unusual or uncomfortable feeling caused by its special structure. It is suitable for the use of catheters and infusion ports while also ensuring patient privacy, comfort, and ease of medical operation.

[0014] The detachable sewing structure allows parents or medical staff to open and activate the corresponding preset slots during port-a-cath insertion. The sewing structure can stably maintain the connection in the garment structure while also ensuring overall comfort during the maintenance process.

[0015] Preferably, the insertion groove is arranged along the length of the sleeve, and the length of the insertion groove does not exceed the overall length of the sleeve. The width of the insertion groove exceeds the width of the existing PICC catheter, but does not exceed the width of the sleeve. The two ends of the cover are integrally connected to the sleeve, and the cover is located on the outer surface of the insertion groove. This invention, based on the conventional insertion position of the PICC catheter, makes special arrangements for the position, length-to-width ratio of the insertion groove, and the corresponding cover to meet the usage requirements of the PICC catheter without affecting the integrity and comfort of the sleeve. Furthermore, due to the structure and position of the cover, it can automatically shield the PICC catheter over a large area.

[0016] Preferably, both sides of the cover sheet along its length are provided with sealing portions, and the sealing portions are slightly elastic. The two ends of the sealing portions are connected to the sleeve. The slightly elastic sealing portions at the edges of the cover sheet further ensure the automatic covering effect of the cover sheet without affecting the opening function and wearing comfort.

[0017] Preferably, two flexible baffles are provided on each of the two sides of the insertion slot along its length. This effectively prevents the edges of the insertion slot from being exposed and avoids air leakage into the arm, thus ensuring the comfort of the child's arm when not using the catheter.

[0018] Preferably, the two sides of the insertion slot along its length are slightly outward-flaring arc-shaped structures, while the two sides of the cover and the sealing edge along its length are inward-flaring arc-shaped structures. When the cover is lifted and the baffle is moved, the upper limb insertion site is exposed. The inward-flaring arc-shaped sealing edge allows medical staff to easily flip the cover and the internal baffle with one hand simultaneously, enabling operation, viewing, use, and automatic occlusion after hand removal. The operation is simple, convenient, and efficient.

[0019] Preferably, the two ends of the cover piece are arc-shaped connecting parts, the arc-shaped connecting part near the shoulder is integrated with the garment body and the sleeve, and the arc-shaped connecting part near the wrist is integrated with the sleeve.

[0020] Preferably, the two ends of the edge sealing portion are connected between the baffle and the sleeve.

[0021] The curved connection method of the joint can effectively increase the overall coordination when wearing, so as to further increase the daily comfort of the child. Moreover, the two ends of the edge sealing are restricted inside the sleeve, which increases the reset effect of the edge sealing, so as to further increase the automatic covering effect of the edge sealing when the hand is removed.

[0022] Preferably, the sum of the thicknesses of the cover and the baffle is equal to the thickness of the sleeve. This effectively reduces the discomfort caused by the thickness of the two layers of the baffle and cover, and further increases the comfort and overall harmony of wearing the sleeve during hospitalization.

[0029] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] like Figures 1 to 2 The patient gown shown is for children with catheters inserted, including a garment body 1. A pre-set slot 2 is provided on the garment body 1 at the position corresponding to the chest, and a protective piece 3 is provided on the inner side of the garment body 1 corresponding to the pre-set slot 2. Figure 1 The dashed structure at the chest area represents the protective component 3 inside the garment 1.

[0032] The part of the garment body 1 corresponding to the upper limbs is the sleeve 10, which is a long-sleeved structure. The way to put on and take off the hospital gown in this case (i.e., garment body 1 + sleeve 10) is the same as that of existing hospital gowns, with buttons in the middle.

[0033] The pre-set slot 2 is set horizontally at the position of the chest of the garment 1. The protective part 3 is a sheet structure, and the side of the protective part 3 away from the skin is sewn to the pre-set slot 2 through the butt piece 30. The connection between the butt piece 30 and the pre-set slot 2 is a detachable sewn structure.

[0034] In this case, the sewing connection structure of the protective component 3 (butt joint 30) and the pre-set slot 2 can refer to the design of the fake pocket of existing clothing. The stitches can be removed and separated at the sewing connection, and parents can freely open the opening according to the position of the child's infusion port.

[0035] To protect the chest skin, the area of ​​the protective component 3 exceeds the area of ​​the preset slot 2. The mating piece 30 is located in the middle of the protective component 3, and part of the mating piece 30 passes through the preset slot 2 and is exposed to the outside. At the same time, the protective component 3 is thickened and flexible, and the edge of the protective component 3 is set with a smooth arc surface to protect the skin and reduce friction.

[0036] The protective component 3 can also be connected to the garment body separately. In this case, the docking piece 30 is only on one side of the protective component 3. When removing it, only the docking piece 30 is removed to open the preset slot 2. The protective component 3 alone will not obstruct the infusion port and will protect the skin near the infusion port from excessive friction from the garment body.

[0037] The sleeve 10 is provided with a tube placement groove 4, and the outside of the tube placement groove 4 is provided with a cover plate 5 that can be automatically covered.

[0038] Based on the conventional placement location of PICC tubing, this case makes special arrangements for the position, length-to-width ratio, and corresponding cover plate 5 of the placement groove 4. That is, the placement groove 4 is set along the length direction of the sleeve 10, and the length of the placement groove 4 does not exceed the overall length of the sleeve 10. The width of the placement groove 4 exceeds the width of the existing PICC catheter, and the width of the placement groove 4 does not exceed the width of the sleeve 10. The two ends of the cover plate 5 are integrally connected to the sleeve 10, and the cover plate 5 is located on the outer surface of the placement groove 4.

[0039] To further ensure the automatic blocking effect of the cover sheet 5, both sides of the cover sheet 5 along its length are provided with sealing portions 50, and the sealing portions 50 are slightly elastic. The two ends of the sealing portions 50 are connected to the sleeve body 10.

[0040] Furthermore, to prevent the edges of the insertion groove 4 from being exposed and to prevent air leakage from the arm, two flexible baffles 6 are respectively provided on both sides of the insertion groove 4 along its length. In this case... Figure 2 The dotted line structure at the upper limb position in the diagram is a schematic representation of the location of the tube placement groove 4 and the location of the internal baffle 6.

[0041] The edge sealing part 50 can be made of polyester or modal fabric with a certain degree of elasticity, and the baffle 6, which increases the internal covering effect, is also made of polyester or modal fabric with a certain degree of elasticity.

[0042] To achieve both easy observation and concealment, the two sides of the insertion groove 4 along its length are slightly outward-flaring arc-shaped structures, while the two sides of the cover 5 along its length and the sealing edge 50 are inward-flaring arc-shaped structures. When the cover 5 is lifted and the baffle 6 is moved, the insertion position of the upper limb is exposed.

[0043] Furthermore, to enhance the overall coordination when worn, the two ends of the cover plate 5 are respectively arc-shaped connecting parts 7. The arc-shaped connecting part 7 near the shoulder is integrated with the garment body 1 and the sleeve body 10, while the arc-shaped connecting part 7 near the wrist is integrated with the sleeve body 10.

[0044] In addition, to further enhance the automatic concealing effect of the edge sealing part 50, both ends of the edge sealing part 50 are connected between the baffle 6 and the sleeve 10.

[0045] In addition, to reduce the discomfort caused by the thickness of the multi-layer structure of the cover plate 6 and the cover plate 5, and to increase the comfort of wearing it during hospitalization, the sum of the thickness of the cover plate 5 and the cover plate 6 is equal to the thickness of the sleeve 10.

[0046] During use, for children with implanted port-a-cath, parents, family members, or medical staff can select the corresponding preset slot 2 according to the port-a-cath insertion location, remove the docking piece 30, and separate the corresponding protective piece 3. For children with PICC line insertion, under normal wearing conditions, the two baffles 6 provide internal cover, and the cover 5 provides external cover. If it is necessary to observe or use the PICC line's infusion and blood drawing functions, the cover 5 and baffles 6 can be flipped with one hand to expose the PICC line insertion location.

[0047] Example 2:

[0048] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, the technical content of this embodiment is basically the same as that of embodiment 1. The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 lies in the connection structure of the two structures: the pre-set groove 2 and the edge sealing part 50.

[0049] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, a positioning piece 8 is provided at the preset slot 2. In this embodiment, the docking piece 30 is sewn to the positioning piece 8. The part of the positioning piece 8 located inside the garment body 1 is connected to the garment body 1 by Velcro. The part of the positioning piece 8 is flipped to the outside of the garment body 1, and the part of the positioning piece 8 located outside is fastened to the outside of the garment body 1. When an opening is needed, the positioning piece 8 can be pulled away from the protective piece 3 at the same time.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, a flexible sealing element 9 is provided between the sealing edge 50 and the baffle 6. The flexible sealing element 9 includes a flexible and bendable first magnetic absorbing piece 90 and a second magnetic absorbing piece 91. The first magnetic absorbing piece 90 is located inside the sealing edge 50, and the second magnetic absorbing piece 91 is located outside the baffle 6. The second magnetic absorbing piece 91 is provided with a strip-shaped insertion groove 92. The first magnetic absorbing piece 90 can be inserted into and attracted to the insertion groove 92 to achieve a temporary seal between the sealing edge 50 and the baffle 6. When it is necessary to open the tube slot 4, it can be opened with one hand in the manner described in Embodiment 1 above.

[0051] Example 3:

[0052] like Figure 5 As shown, the technical content of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 2. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 2 lies in the following technical points:

[0053] Based on Embodiment 2, the flexible seal 9 further includes multiple limiting strips 93, which are disposed in the first magnetic absorbing plate 90. The multiple limiting strips 93 are evenly spaced along the length direction of the first magnetic absorbing plate 90, and the inner side of the limiting strips 93 is anti-slip. The second magnetic absorbing plate 91 is provided with multiple docking strips 94 at the positions corresponding to the limiting strips 93. Both the limiting strips 93 and the docking strips 94 have a certain curvature. Both the limiting strips 93 and the docking strips 94 are made of silicone. When the first magnetic absorbing plate 90 and the second magnetic absorbing plate 91 are docked, the limiting strips 93 and the docking strips 94 together form a limiting ring that can be fixed to the outside of the PICC catheter.

[0054] In addition, the relevant components of the flexible seal 9 can be adaptively set at the position of the preset slot 2, which is suitable for the use of the infusion port function.

[0055] 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.
