[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of nasogastric tube fixation devices, and in particular relates to a nasogastric tube fixation device for digestive care. Background Technology
[0002] A nasogastric tube is inserted through the nostril, passes through the pharynx and esophagus to the stomach, and is used to inject liquid into the stomach to provide the patient with the necessary food and nutrition. It is often used for patients with esophageal diseases and is a commonly used adjunctive treatment for esophageal diseases in clinical practice. After the nasogastric tube is placed, a part of the tube needs to remain outside the nasal cavity and be fixed to facilitate its connection with the feeding pump, while preventing it from being pulled or dislodged.
[0003] Currently, most nasogastric tube fixation methods use medical tape to secure the tube to the patient's face. This method has poor stability and the nasogastric tube can easily compress the nasal cavity and nasal wings, causing discomfort. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a nasogastric tube fixing device for digestive care, which helps to avoid the fixed nasogastric tube compressing the nasal cavity.
[0005] The aforementioned nasogastric tube fixing device for digestive care includes a mask, ear loops on both sides of the top of the mask, a nasal shield on the front side wall of the mask, and a first through groove at the bottom of the nasal shield that connects front and back. At least one limiting tube for inserting the nasogastric tube is provided in the first through groove, and the limiting tube swings left and right in the first through groove.
[0006] Furthermore, a second passage is provided on the mask located below the nasal mask for the patient to expose their mouth.
[0007] Furthermore, a slot is provided on the mask between the nasal mask and the second channel, and the slot is in an interference fit with the nasogastric tube.
[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the mask is provided with a limiting sleeve that fits the patient's chin, and the limiting sleeve has an overall "C" shape.
[0009] Furthermore, the upper and lower ends of the limiting tube are both vertically fixed with connecting rods. The connecting rod located below the limiting tube can rotate freely left and right with the nose mask. The top of the nose mask has a third through groove for the connecting rod above the limiting tube to pass through. A limiting block with a threaded fit is fitted on the connecting rod located outside the third through groove.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention. Example
[0023] This embodiment describes a nasogastric tube fixation device for digestive care, such as... Figure 1As shown, it includes a mask 1, and ear loops 3 are provided on both sides of the top of the mask 1, so that it can be worn on the patient's face through the ear loops 3;
[0024] The front sidewall of the mask 1 is provided with a nose shield 4, which not only makes the patient's nose more comfortable, but also improves the fixation effect to a certain extent by utilizing the structural characteristics of the nose to prevent direct fall-off.
[0025] The bottom of the nasal mask 4 has a first through groove that connects the front and back. At least one limiting tube 5 for inserting a nasal feeding tube is provided in the first through groove. The limiting tube 5 swings left and right in the first through groove to facilitate the insertion of the nasal feeding tube into the patient's nasal cavity. The nasal feeding tube is then fixed by the limiting tube 5. The position of the nasal feeding tube in the nasal cavity is adjusted by swinging the limiting tube 5 left and right to avoid the nasal feeding tube compressing the nasal cavity.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the mask 1 located below the nasal mask 4 has a second channel for the patient to expose their mouth, which facilitates ventilation of the face, improves the patient's comfort, and also makes it easier for the patient to breathe and talk through their mouth.
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a slot 2 is provided on the mask 1 between the nasal mask 4 and the second through slot. The slot 2 is in an interference fit with the nasogastric tube, which facilitates the fixation of the nasogastric tube that passes through the limiting tube 5, further improving the fixation effect of the nasogastric tube. It also facilitates the release of force when the external nasogastric tube is pulled, preventing the external nasogastric tube from being directly displaced inside the body when pulled.
[0028] The bottom of the mask 1 is provided with a limiting sleeve 6 that fits the patient's chin. The limiting sleeve 6 has an overall "C" shape structure, which makes it easy to fasten the mask 1 to the patient's chin, thereby improving the fit between the mask 1 and the patient's face. This makes it easier for the nasal mask 4 to fit the patient's nose more closely, allowing the limiting tube 5 to be inserted more stably into the patient's nasal cavity to fix and limit the nasogastric tube, thus making the patient more comfortable.
[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper and lower ends of the limiting tube 5 are vertically fixed with connecting rods 7. The connecting rod 7 located below the limiting tube 5 can rotate freely left and right with the nasal mask 4. The top of the nasal mask 4 has a third through groove for the connecting rod 7 above the limiting tube 5 to pass through. A limiting block 8 with a threaded fit is fitted on the connecting rod 7 located outside the third through groove, so that the limiting tube 5 can swing left and right through the connecting rod 7, and the position of the limiting tube 5 can be fixed by the limiting block 8, thereby avoiding the nasal feeding tube from compressing the patient's nasal cavity.
[0030] like Figure 4As shown, the bottom of the first through groove is horizontally provided with a sliding groove that slides left and right. A slider 9 is provided in the sliding groove and slides with it. The bottom end of the connecting rod 7 located below the limiting tube 5 is fixed to the top of the slider 9. The length of the third through groove is the same as the length of the sliding groove, which facilitates the left and right sliding adjustment of the position of the limiting tube 5. It is convenient to adjust the position of the limiting tube 5 according to the different sizes and spacing of the noses of different patients, making it more applicable. At the same time, it makes the limiting tube 5 better at fixing and limiting the nasogastric tube, and can also further reduce the compression of the nasal cavity by the nasogastric tube, making the patient more comfortable when using it.
[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the limiting tube 5 is composed of two upper and lower grooves. One groove has an insertion block on its contact surface, and the other groove has a corresponding slot for inserting the insertion block. This facilitates clamping and fixing the nasogastric tube through the grooves, and also makes it easy to remove the nasogastric tube from the limiting tube 5.
[0032] The inner diameter of the limiting tube 5 is equal to the inner diameter of the nasogastric tube.
[0033] The inner walls at both ends of the trough are equipped with anti-slip strips, which makes it easier to clamp and fix the nasogastric tube through the two troughs, and prevents the nasogastric tube from sliding directly out of the trough or even falling off when it is pulled.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the end of the limiting tube 5 located inside the nasal mask 4 has an arc-shaped structure, which makes it more comfortable to insert into the patient's nasal cavity and avoids damage and discomfort to the patient's nasal cavity wall when adjusting the position and angle of the limiting tube 5.
[0035] The working principle is as follows: First, fasten the limiting sleeve 6 to the patient's chin, then fix it to the patient's ear through the ear hook 3, then fasten the nasal mask 4 to the patient's nose, then insert the inner end of the limiting tube 5 into the patient's nasal cavity, and pass the nasogastric tube through the limiting tube 5 so that its outer end comes out. Then move it left and right or swing it to adjust the position of the limiting tube 5, and finally insert the external part of the nasogastric tube into the slot 2 to fix it.
