AI Technical Summary
Existing drainage tube fixing mechanisms cannot effectively prevent the drainage tube from bending between two fixing points, resulting in poor drainage.
Design an auxiliary fixing mechanism comprising several connecting sections. The connecting sections are interconnected by connecting plates to form a trapezoidal structure. The connecting plates are provided with fixing holes and arc-shaped grooves, and are fixed by connecting nails to limit the rotation angle of the drainage tube and prevent bending.
This effectively prevents the drainage tube from bending between fixation points, ensuring unobstructed drainage, promoting wound healing, and preventing infection.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to an auxiliary fixation mechanism for external chest drainage tubes. Background Technology
[0002] A drainage tube is a medical device used in clinical surgery to drain pus, blood, and fluid accumulated between body tissues or in body cavities, preventing postoperative infection and promoting wound healing. Drainage tubes are mostly flexible tubes that require auxiliary fixation. Existing fixation mechanisms often involve a small device securing a small section of the tube to the patient or bed to secure it. However, the tube can still be bent, especially between two fixation points.
[0003] This case arose in order to resolve the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an auxiliary fixation mechanism for external chest drainage tubes to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary fixation mechanism for external chest drainage tubes, comprising several connecting sections, each connecting section having a through-channel at its center, connecting plates on both sides of the connecting section, the connecting plates being disposed on the front and rear sides of the connecting section, and fixing holes on the connecting plates, wherein the several connecting sections are interconnected through the connecting plates.
[0008] Preferably, the distance between the connecting plates on the left and right sides of the connecting joint is different, and the distance between the connecting plates on the left side is smaller than the distance between the connecting plates on the right side. When the connecting joints are connected by connecting plates, the outer side of the connecting plate at one end abuts against the inner side of the connecting plate at the other end, and several connecting joints are connected sequentially by connecting nails passing through fixing holes.
[0009] Preferably, the inner side of the connecting plate on the right side is provided with an arc-shaped groove, and when the connecting sections are connected to each other, the connecting plate on the left side of the adjacent connecting section is located in the arc-shaped groove.
[0010] Preferably, the connecting plate includes a straight plate and a semi-circular plate, the semi-circular plate being located within an arc-shaped groove, and the connecting section rotating until the straight plate touches the opening of the arc-shaped groove and then stops rotating.
[0011] Preferably, the width of the left side of the connecting joint is smaller than the width of the right side, and the horizontal cross-section of the connecting joint is trapezoidal.
[0012] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art: The auxiliary fixation mechanism for external chest drainage tube of this utility model is formed by connecting several connecting joints to form an auxiliary fixation structure. The drainage tube passes through the connecting joints, and the rotation angle between the connecting joints is limited. The drainage tube is subjected to the action of the connecting joints, thereby avoiding the occurrence of bending of the drainage tube. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0018] This utility model embodiment provides an auxiliary fixation mechanism for external chest drainage tubes, such as... Figure 1-2 As shown, the device includes several connecting sections 1. Each connecting section 1 has a through-channel 2 running horizontally through its center. Connecting plates 3 are located on both the left and right sides of each connecting section 1, positioned at the front and rear. Fixing holes 4 are provided on the connecting plates 3. Several connecting sections 1 are interconnected via the connecting plates 3. The overall fixing mechanism is composed of several connecting sections 1, allowing for the use of different numbers of connecting sections 1 to accommodate varying drainage tube lengths required by different patient body shapes. The left side of each connecting section 1 is narrower than the right side, and its horizontal cross-section is trapezoidal to ensure smoothness on the outer side.
[0019] Reference Appendix Figure 1-2 The distance between the connecting plates 3 on the left and right sides of the connecting section 1 is different. The distance between the connecting plates 3 on the left side is smaller than the distance between the connecting plates 3 on the right side. When the connecting section 1 is connected by the connecting plates 3, the outer side of the connecting plate 3 at one end abuts against the inner side of the connecting plate 3 at the other end. Several connecting sections 1 are connected in sequence by passing the connecting nail through the fixing hole 4.
[0020] Reference Appendix Figure 2 An arc-shaped groove 5 is provided on the inner side of the connecting plate 3 on the right side. When the connecting sections 1 are connected to each other, the connecting plate 3 on the left side of the adjacent connecting section 1 is located within the arc-shaped groove 5. The connecting plate 3 includes a straight plate 31 and a semi-circular plate 32. The semi-circular plate 32 is located within the arc-shaped groove 5. The connecting section 1 rotates until the straight plate 31 touches the opening of the arc-shaped groove 5 and then stops rotating. The range of rotation angle between the connecting sections 1 can be adjusted by setting different specifications for the opening of the arc-shaped groove 5.
[0021] This utility model discloses an auxiliary fixation mechanism for external chest drainage tubes. The auxiliary fixation structure is formed by connecting several connecting joints. The drainage tube passes through the connecting joints, and the rotation angle between the connecting joints is limited. The drainage tube is subjected to the action of the connecting joints, thereby avoiding the occurrence of bending of the drainage tube.
[0022] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
