Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, specifically a sutureless chest tube fixation device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional sternal fixation requires surgeons to manually suture the chest tube to the chest wall skin. This method demands high levels of aseptic technique and suturing skills and is time-consuming, making it unsuitable for field environments.

[0003] For example, patent application number CN201610378349.8 discloses a disposable chest drainage tube fixation device. This invention changes the traditional method of fixation with adhesive tape and gauze, avoiding the chest drainage tube from kinking or forming a "V"-shaped wheal due to traction during patient turning, activity, or nursing care. This can lead to the drainage tube exiting the chest cavity subcutaneously or even partially or completely dislodging. It makes patients without surgical options and requiring long-term closed chest drainage tubes more comfortable. This invention has a simple structure, is easy to install, greatly improves staff efficiency, reduces dressing changes, and is cost-effective, alleviating the economic burden on patients. However, traditional methods require surgeons to manually suture the chest tube to the chest wall skin, demanding high levels of aseptic technique and suturing skills, and are time-consuming, making them unsuitable for field environments. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a sutureless chest tube fixation device, which solves the problem of requiring surgeons to manually suture the chest tube to fix it to the chest wall skin. This method requires high levels of aseptic technique and suturing skills, is time-consuming, and is not suitable for field environments.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a sutureless chest tube fixation device, comprising an adhesive non-woven fabric, an interactive fixing strap at the top of one end of the adhesive non-woven fabric, a chest tube fixing base at the top of the other end of the adhesive non-woven fabric, and a throat clamp-type buckle at the top of the chest tube fixing base.

[0006] The interactive fixation strap includes holes and a positive Velcro strap. The positive Velcro strap is fixedly connected to the interactive fixation strap, and the holes are located on one end surface of the interactive fixation strap. Non-woven fabric is pasted through the chest tube, allowing the chest tube to come into contact with the human body. The chest tube is also secured to the chest tube fixation base by a hose clamp-like buckle. By operating the two ends of the interactive fixation strap, the positive and negative Velcro straps at the interactive fixation straps can be brought into contact and bonded together, thus fixing the free end of the chest tube. The drainage bag is then connected to the end of the chest tube, completing the operation. This makes the operation simpler, shortens the chest tube fixation time and reduces the additional equipment and facilities required by traditional suture fixation, enabling the operator to perform effective and rapid chest tube fixation.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the interactive fixing strap is provided with a negative electrode hook and loop fastener.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom middle of the interactive fixing strap is fixedly connected to the negative electrode hook and loop fastener, and both ends of the interactive fixing strap are in contact with the negative electrode hook and loop fastener. Then, the free end of the chest tube is placed in the middle of the interactive fixing strap. Because the middle part is fixedly connected to the negative electrode hook and loop fastener, it is convenient for subsequent operations. Then, the two ends of the interactive fixing strap are operated so that the positive electrode hook and loop fastener at the interactive fixing strap come into contact with the negative electrode hook and loop fastener and can be glued together. The free end of the chest tube is fixed. The end of the chest tube is connected to the drainage bag, and the operation is completed.

[0009] Preferably, the surface of the chest tube fixing base is provided with a base outlet, and the bottom of the base outlet is provided with a groove. The groove is connected to the connection of the base outlet. Because the groove on the surface of the non-woven fabric and the sterile cotton pad are both located below the base outlet, the chest tube can pass through the groove and the sterile cotton pad to come into contact with the human body.

[0010] Preferably, a sterile cotton pad is provided at the bottom of the non-woven fabric, the sterile cotton pad is located at the bottom of the groove, and the fixed base chest tube is made of polyethylene material, which absorbs exudate after being surrounded by the sterile cotton pad.

[0011] Beneficial effects

[0012] This invention provides a sutureless chest tube fixation device. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. This sutureless chest tube fixation device uses a non-woven fabric adhesive to pass through the chest tube, allowing it to come into contact with the body. A hose clamp-like buckle secures the chest tube to the fixation base, thus fixing it in place. Interactive fastening straps at both ends allow the positive and negative Velcro straps to adhere together, securing the free end of the chest tube. A drainage bag is then attached to the end of the chest tube, completing the fixation process. This simplifies the procedure, reduces fixation time, and eliminates the need for additional equipment and tools required by traditional suture fixation, enabling operators to perform effective and rapid chest tube fixation.

[0014] 2. This sutureless chest tube fixation device can be attached to the human body by pasting non-woven fabric, which can fix it to the body and improve stability, making it convenient for long-term use. After the sterile cotton pad is wrapped around the chest tube, it absorbs the exudate. Attached Figure Description
