Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the medical field, and more specifically, to a device for fixing and storing drainage tubes. Background Technology

[0002] Postoperative drainage is frequently required for thoracic surgery patients to remove pleural effusion. Current drainage tubes typically extend from the pleural cavity to a collection device, such as a collection bag. In this case, the drainage tube is prone to dislodgement due to movement, or accidental pulling by the patient or others, especially since the tubes are often quite long. Longer tubes further increase these risks. In practice, hospitals often use tape to attach the drainage tube to clothing or the patient's body, but this method is highly susceptible to dislodgement and still doesn't address the issue of long tubes. Existing technologies have developed devices for securing drainage tubes, such as CN219307509U (a portable drainage tube securing belt for ambulation), which uses a storage bag and clips on the belt to hold the drainage bag and tube respectively. However, this structure still suffers from limitations in the belt's usability (many patients do not use or find it inconvenient to use a belt) and the inability to easily adjust its position.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-7 As shown, a drainage tube fixing and storage device is used to fix and store a drainage tube 5. The drainage tube fixing and storage device includes:

[0027] Storage box 1, the storage box 1 includes a storage body 11 and a storage cover 12. The storage body 11 has notches 112 at both ends for the drainage tube 5 to pass through. One side of the storage body 11 is hinged to the storage cover 12, and the other side is provided with a clamping member 6 to fix the storage box 1.

[0028] Adjusting component 2, there are two adjusting components 2 arranged opposite each other, each adjusting component 2 is provided with multiple support rods 22, the drainage tube 5 is stored in the storage box 1 through the support rods 22, the bottom of the storage body 11 is provided with multiple sliding grooves 3, the bottom of each adjusting component 2 is provided with a sliding part 23, the adjusting component 2 is slidably connected to the storage body 11 through the sliding part 23 and the sliding groove 3, so as to adjust the distance between the two adjusting components 2 and thus adjust the length of the drainage tube 5 stored in the storage box 1.

[0029] Specifically, the drainage tube is placed inside the housing body 11, with both ends extending from the notches 112 at both ends of the housing body. The drainage tube within the housing body 11 can be arranged in various ways using multiple support rods, such as... Figure 1 The method of guiding the drainage tube around the support rod 22 of one adjusting member 2 to the next support rod 22 of another adjusting member 2 can also be used in any other way, as long as the drainage tube 5 can be wrapped around the support rod 22. Figure 1 The drainage tube 5 is housed in a single layer within the storage body 11. In other embodiments, if the drainage tube 5 is too long, a double-layer or triple-layer layout can be used. Furthermore, the length of the drainage tube 5 within the storage body 11 can be further adjusted by changing the distance between the two adjusting members 2, depending on the excess length. After placing the drainage tube 5 within the storage body, the storage cover 12 is closed, and the clamping member 6 can hold the storage box 1 along with the drainage tube in a convenient location, such as a cuff, pocket, or, when the patient is in bed, on the bed or an IV stand. This method allows for the storage of excess drainage tubes 5, as well as the storage of tubes 5 of different lengths, preventing the tubes 5 from shifting and causing accidents.

[0030] When a patient finds that the length of the drainage tube 5 needs to be adjusted during use, the patient can open the storage cover 12 to rearrange the winding method of the drainage tube 5, or they can adjust the distance between the two adjusting parts 2 directly without opening the storage box 1, thereby adjusting the length of the stored drainage tube 5. The adjustment is very convenient.

[0031] In one embodiment, see Figure 7 Each of the adjusting members 2 is also provided with a locking member 24 to lock the position of the adjusting member 2 in the slide groove 3. By providing the locking member 24, the positions of the two adjusting members can be fixed, thereby fixing the length of the stored drainage tube 5.

[0032] In one embodiment, the adjusting member 2 includes a crossbar 21, the plurality of support rods 22 are evenly arranged on one side of the crossbar 21, and the sliding part 23 is arranged on the other side of the crossbar 21.

[0033] With the above structure, the sliding part 23 and the support rod 22 are distributed on both sides of the crossbar 21. The sliding part 23 located on the lower side of the crossbar 21 can be slidably connected to the groove 3, and the support rod 22 located on the upper side of the crossbar 21 can be used to wrap the drainage tube 5. This makes it convenient to use and the structure is simple.

[0034] In one embodiment, the locking member 24 is a screw that is threadedly engaged with the crossbar 21, and the bottom of the receiving body 11 is also provided with a through groove 4. The screw passes through the through groove 24 and connects to the crossbar 21 to lock or unlock the position of the adjusting member 2 in the slide groove 3.

[0035] In this embodiment, the adjusting member's position in the slide groove can be easily unlocked or locked by using a screw that engages with the threaded joint of the crossbar 21. Loosening the screw unlocks the component, while tightening it locks it. The structure is simple and convenient, and no other tools are required for unlocking and locking. Of course, as those skilled in the art will know, as... Figure 2 As shown, the head of the screw is larger than the width of the slot 4, and the shank is smaller than the width of the slot 4, so that the adjusting member 2 can be unlocked or locked using the screw.

[0036] In one embodiment, the sliding portion 23 is provided on both sides of the locking member 24. This arrangement prevents the locking member 24 from being located at the edge of the adjusting member 2, which would cause the other side to be easily bent by force or have poor sliding.

[0037] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 The receiving body 11 has an indicator 7 on the side where the clamping member 6 is located. The indicator 7 indicates the direction in which the adjusting member 2 tensions the drainage tube. By providing the indicator, the patient can clearly see which direction the two adjusting members 2 move to tension and which direction they move to contract. Figure 2 As shown, it is located on the side of the through groove 4. The position of the adjusting member 2 can be adjusted by sliding the support rod 22 or by adjusting the locking member 24. The indicator 7 is used to indicate which direction the locking member 24 moves in to tighten it, and the opposite direction is to loosen the drainage tube 5.

[0038] In one embodiment, there are two clamping members 6, which are respectively fixed to both sides of the storage body. This arrangement allows for a more stable and secure fixation of the storage box 1.

[0039] In one embodiment, the clamping member 6 is a metal spring. The metal spring has good resilience, is sturdy and durable, and is not easily broken, thus improving the service life of the drainage tube fixing and storage device of this utility model.

[0040] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The storage body 11 is provided with a locking part 111, and the storage cover 12 is provided with a buckle 121. The buckle 121 cooperates with the locking part 111 to close the storage body 11. By providing the locking part 111 on the storage body 11 and the buckle 121 on the storage cover 12, the buckle 121 cooperates with the locking part 111 to fasten the storage cover 12 onto the storage body 11, preventing the drainage tube 5 from popping out and making the entire device look neat and tidy.

[0041] The drainage tube fixing and storage device of this utility model not only makes it easy to fix the drainage tube 5 in a certain position, such as the patient's cuff, pocket, or hospital bed, by using the clamping member 6 to prevent it from swinging around, but also allows the storage body 11 and support rod 22 to store excess drainage tubes. Furthermore, the distance between the adjusting member 2 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the spacing between the multiple support rods 22 on the two adjusting members 2, thus adjusting the length of the stored drainage tube 5. The device has a simple structure, is lightweight and easy to use, and has a wide range of applications.
