[0028] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0029] This utility model provides a nasal inhalation tube 110 for preventing ear pressure sores, see [link to related documentation]. Figure 1 It includes an oxygen inhalation component 100 and a fixing component 200, wherein the oxygen inhalation component 100 is mounted on the fixing component 200, and the fixing component 200 is fixed to the user's head.
[0030] The oxygen inhalation component 100 is fixed to the patient's head by the fixing component 200, thereby preventing the oxygen inhalation component 100 from falling off due to the force applied when the patient turns over. At the same time, the above-mentioned fixing method solves the problem that traditional ear-hook nasal cannula 110 can easily cause ear pressure sores and cause discomfort to the patient when using oxygen for a long time.
[0031] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The oxygen inhalation assembly 100 includes an oxygen inhalation tube 110, a nasal cannula 120, and a nasal plug 130. The oxygen inhalation tube 110 is connected to the nasal cannula 120 and is used to deliver oxygen to the nasal cannula 120. The nasal plug 130 is provided in the middle of the nasal cannula 120 and is connected to the nasal cannula 120. The nasal plug 130 is used to be placed in the user's nostril.
[0032] After the nasal plug end installed on the nasal cannula 120 is inserted into the patient's nostril, the fixing component 200 on the oxygen inhalation tube 110 fixes the oxygen inhalation tube 110 to the patient's head, thereby preventing the nasal plug end installed on the nasal cannula 120 from detaching from the patient's nostril due to the force pulling the oxygen inhalation tube 110 when the patient turns over, thus avoiding the problem of the nasal oxygen inhalation tube 110 falling off.
[0033] In one embodiment, see Figures 1-2 The fixing component 200 includes a Velcro strap 210 and a clamping fastener 220. The clamping fastener 220 is installed inside the Velcro strap 210 and is used to clamp and fix the oxygen tube 110. The Velcro strap 210 is used to tie around the user's head.
[0034] The fixation assembly 200 consists of a Velcro strap 210 and a clamping fastener 220, with the clamping fastener 220 located inside the Velcro strap 210. This facilitates the clamping fastener 220 being fastened to the patient's head via the Velcro strap 210, thereby making it easier for the clamping fastener 220 to clamp and fix the oxygen tube 110, and increasing the convenience of fixing the clamping fastener 220 to the patient's head.
[0035] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The clamping and fixing component 220 includes a latex pad 221 and clamping portions 222 on both sides of the latex pad 221. The clamping portions 222 are provided with clamping grooves 223 for clamping the oxygen inhalation tube 110.
[0036] The clamping and fixing member 220 consists of a latex pad 221, a clamping part 222, and a clamping groove 223. The two clamping parts 222 are integrally formed on both sides of the latex pad 221, which makes it easy for the two clamping parts 222 to clamp the oxygen tube 110 through the clamping groove 223.
[0037] In one embodiment, the surface of the clamping groove 223 is provided with anti-slip strips 224.
[0038] The anti-slip strip 224 integrally formed on the surface of the clamping groove 223 increases the frictional resistance when the oxygen tube 110 is clamped inside the clamping groove 223, and increases the stability of the oxygen tube 110 being clamped through the clamping part 222.
[0039] In one embodiment, the latex pad 221 has ventilation grooves 225 at equal intervals on the surface that contacts the patient's head.
[0040] The ventilation grooves 225 on the inner side of the latex pad 221 allow for ventilation when the latex pad 221 comes into contact with the patient's head, thus preventing the latex pad 221 from being in large-area contact with the patient's head and causing stuffiness.
[0041] In one embodiment, the latex pad 221 has an arc-shaped structure, and the clamping part 222 is perpendicular to the tangent of the latex pad 221.
[0042] The latex pad 221 with its arc-shaped structure makes it easier for the latex pad 221 to fit better against the patient's head, while the clamping part 222 is perpendicular to the tangent of the latex pad 221, which makes it easier for the clamping part 222 to support the oxygen inhalation tube 110.
[0043] In one embodiment, the fixing component 200 further includes an adhesive tape 230 disposed on the outside of the nasal cannula 120.
[0044] By using the adhesive tape 230 on the outside of the nasal cannula 120, after the nasal plug end installed on the nasal cannula 120 is inserted into the patient's nostril, the nasal cannula 120 is adhered to the outside of the patient's nose by the adhesive tape 230, thereby initially fixing the nasal cannula 120 by the adhesive tape 230.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
