Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nursing technology, and in particular to an ear-hook type neck catheter fixation mask. Background Technology

[0002] For end-stage renal disease patients requiring hemodialysis, establishing reliable vascular access is crucial for survival. Before a permanent vascular access (such as an arteriovenous fistula) matures or malfunctions, doctors typically insert a temporary double-lumen catheter into a large vessel such as the internal jugular vein as a transitional dialysis access. Safely and securely securing this external catheter to prevent displacement or dislodgement is a core aspect of ensuring successful dialysis and preventing serious complications.

[0003] Currently, there are two main methods for securing temporary neck catheters in clinical practice. The first is suture fixation, where after catheter insertion, the doctor directly uses surgical sutures to suture the fixation holes on the catheter wings to the patient's neck skin. The second method uses a special transparent dressing or tape. The principle is to attach a dressing with strong medical adhesive to the skin around the catheter exit point; the adhesiveness of the dressing covers and compresses the catheter, thus fixing it in place. Both methods prevent catheter movement by applying a local anchor point at the catheter exit point.

[0004] However, the aforementioned traditional fixation methods, especially with long-term use, cannot completely eliminate the risk of catheter prolapse and slippage. First, the skin around the suture fixation point is subjected to continuous traction during daily activities such as head turning and swallowing, leading to suture loosening or skin tearing. Second, the more commonly used dressing method is highly susceptible to the effects of sweat, skin oils, and moisture during washing, all of which significantly reduce the adhesive strength, causing the dressing edges to curl and become loose. Once the dressing's fixation weakens, the catheter can easily shift under external forces such as changes in body position or friction from clothing, even partially slipping out of the blood vessel. This not only interrupts treatment but can also lead to serious complications such as poor blood conduction, infection, thrombosis, and air embolism, posing a significant threat to patient safety. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an ear-hook neck catheter fixation mask, which aims to improve the problem of the risk of prolapse and slippage of temporary neck catheters used by hemodialysis patients after insertion into the jugular vein.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an ear-hook type neck catheter fixing mask, comprising:

[0007] A neck wrap is used to wrap around the patient's neck;

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The neck wrap includes a hook and loop fastener at one end and a loop fastener at the other end, used to connect and secure the two ends of the neck wrap.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The neck wrap has one or more adjustment holes along its length; the bottom of the ear loops has buttons that cooperate with the adjustment holes to achieve an adjustable connection of the ear loops to the neck wrap.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The area of ​​the hook and loop fastener is larger than the area of ​​the hook and loop fastener to accommodate patients with different neck circumferences.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] The structure for hanging on the patient's ear is an ear-hanging hole provided on the ear-hanging cloth.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] The neck drape is made of elastic longitudinal fiber strips and elastic transverse fiber strips woven together.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] The adjustment holes are arranged in symmetrical groups on both sides of the neck wrap.

[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0022] The ear loops are two in number and are adjustablely connected to the left and right sides of the neck wrap, respectively.

[0023] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. In this utility model, firstly, a neck wrap is placed around the patient's neck and fixed by the hook side of the Velcro and the loop side of the Velcro. Then, the ear loop is suspended on the face through the ear loop hole, which can cover the catheter wound and achieve the effect of fixing the catheter. This solves the problem of the risk of prolapse and slippage after the temporary neck catheter used by hemodialysis patients is inserted into the jugular vein, and improves the patient's comfort.

[0025] 2. In this utility model, the ear loops are connected to the neck wrap by inserting buttons into the adjustment holes, which makes it easy to adjust the ear loops on the left and right sides. This solves the problem that it is inconvenient to fix the tubes in different positions and requires separate customization, thus improving the convenience of fixing the mask.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Reference Figures 1-3 One embodiment of this utility model is a neck catheter fixation mask with ear loops, comprising:

[0034] A neck wrap 1 is used to wrap around the patient's neck; its function is to serve as the basic component of the entire fixation device, forming a stable support platform at the neck. Ear loops 5 are adjustablely connected to the neck wrap 1, allowing for precise adjustment of the coverage area of ​​the fixation mask according to the specific location of the catheter exit. Ear loops 5 have structures for hanging on the patient's ears, using both ears as stable physiological anchor points to effectively prevent the entire fixation device from sliding downwards. The neck wrap 1 includes a Velcro hook surface 3 at one end and a Velcro loop surface 4 at the other end, providing a quick-opening... The neck wrap 1 is connected and fixed at both ends for easy and quick wearing and removal, and allows for fine-tuning of tightness. The neck wrap 1 has one or more adjustment holes 2 along its length, providing multiple discrete, selectable installation positions for the ear loops. The bottom of the ear loops 5 has buttons 7 that mate with the adjustment holes 2, which mechanically lock the ear loops to the selected positions on the neck wrap 1, enabling adjustable connection of the ear loops 5 to the neck wrap 1. This allows the user to adjust the tightness according to the placement of the catheter on the left or right side of the neck. The horizontal position of the ear loop is adjusted accordingly. The area of ​​the hook side 4 is larger than that of the hook side 3, which provides a larger adhesive range, allowing for reliable fixation under different tightness levels to accommodate patients with different neck circumferences. This enhances the product's versatility, making it suitable for users of various body types. The structure for hanging on the patient's ear is the ear loop 6 on the ear loop 5, which forms a soft, pressure-free ear loop, improving wearing comfort. The neck wrap 1 is made of elastic longitudinal fiber strips 8 and elastic transverse fiber strips 9 woven together. Its function is to give the neck wrap moderate elasticity so that it can fit the curve of the neck while ensuring breathability. The adjustment holes 2 are symmetrically set on the left and right sides of the neck wrap 1. Their function is to ensure that the catheters on the left or right sides can find symmetrical and suitable fixing points, so as to achieve left and right use. There are two ear cloths 5. Their function is to form a more balanced and stable support structure by fixing on both sides. They are adjustablely connected to the left and right sides of the neck wrap 1. Their function is to generate a balanced and upward lifting force by hanging on the two ears, so as to more effectively distribute the weight of the catheter and prevent it from prolapse.

[0035] Working principle: When using this ear-loop neck catheter to fix the mask, first adjust the position of the ear loop 5 on the neck wrap 1 to adapt to the catheter of patients in different positions. The bottom of the ear loop 5 is connected to the neck wrap 1 by the button 7 embedded in the adjustment hole 2. The adjustment hole 2 is set on both the left and right sides of the neck wrap 1, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the ear loop 5 on the left and right sides.

[0036] When wearing the neck wrap 1, it is wrapped around the patient's neck and then fastened by the hook side 3 on one side of the neck wrap 1 and the loop side 4 on the other side. The loop side 4 is relatively long and can adapt to different patients' neck sizes. At the same time, the neck wrap 1 is made of elastic longitudinal fiber strips 8 and elastic transverse fiber strips 9, which can improve the elasticity of the neck wrap 1 and improve the wearing comfort. Then, the ear loop 5 is fitted and fixed to the ear through the ear loop hole 6. The ear loop 5 and the neck wrap 1 can cover the patient's fistula and fix the catheter, thus achieving the effect of fixing the catheter.
