Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Closed chest drainage involves inserting one end of a drainage tube into the pleural cavity, while the other end is connected to a water-seal bottle positioned lower down. This allows for the drainage of air or collection of fluid from the pleural cavity, enabling the lung tissue to reopen and restore function. As a treatment method, it is widely used for the drainage of hemothorax, pneumothorax, and empyema, as well as post-thoracotomy and thoracoscopic procedures, playing a vital role in the treatment of these diseases.

[0003] The standard procedure involves securing the drainage tube to the chest wall with sutures. This point-to-point fixation prevents the tube from dislodging, but it doesn't restrict lateral movement of the tube's internal and external portions. Movement of the exposed portion of the tube can cause movement of the portion remaining in the pleural cavity, rubbing against the parietal pleura and leading to pain and a pleural reaction characterized by dizziness, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and pallor. To prevent movement of the external portion of the chest drainage tube, the current approach is to secure it to the chest wall with tape. However, this method has drawbacks: the fixation is not secure, the tape irritates the skin, and patients are prone to scratching, which can damage the fixation. Furthermore, the tape is difficult to remove, making adjustments to the tube's position inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model discloses a chest drainage tube fixation device. The technical solution adopted is as follows: a chest fixation strap is designed, with two traction fixation straps fixedly connected to the front and rear positions of the upper part of the chest fixation strap, respectively. First Velcro fasteners are fixedly connected to the corresponding sides at both ends of the chest fixation strap. The chest fixation strap can be connected and wrapped around the chest by the first Velcro fasteners. Second Velcro fasteners are fixedly connected to the corresponding sides at the ends of the two traction fixation straps, allowing the two traction fixation straps to be hung on the user's shoulders, thereby providing traction to the chest fixation strap and preventing it from slipping down. Velcro loops are fixedly connected to the outer side of the chest fixation strap. On the surface of the hook and loop fastener, a fixing buckle and a hanging strap are attached and fixed. A hook is fixedly connected to the lower end of the hanging strap for hanging the drainage bottle. A hook face of the strap is fixedly connected to the upper end of the hanging strap, and this hook face is attached to the hook and loop fastener. A pull tab is fixedly connected to the upper part of the hook face of the strap, clamping it between the chest strap and the body. When the chest strap is secured to the body, the pull tab is clamped tightly, ensuring a secure connection between the hanging strap and the chest strap and preventing the hook face of the strap from detaching from the hook and loop fastener due to excessive weight when hanging the drainage bottle. Hook and loop fastening strips are fixedly connected at equal intervals on both sides of the hanging strap, securing the drainage tube. The chest strap, pull fastening strap, and pull tab are all made of fabric for easy conforming to the body for secure fixation and for easy folding and storage.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the fixing buckle is fixedly connected with a hook and loop fastener. The hook and loop fastener is pasted and fixed on the hook and loop fastener surface. The fixing buckle can be pasted and fixed at any position on the hook and loop fastener surface as needed, thereby facilitating the fixing of the drainage tube.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the hook and loop fasteners are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the hanging strap, and the drainage tube is fixed by wrapping and bonding the hook and loop fasteners on both sides.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model designs a chest fixation strap that can be wrapped and fixed to the chest via Velcro, and can be pulled and fixed to the shoulder with a traction fixation strap, thus forming a stable fixation structure on the chest. The Velcro's textured surface allows for the attachment of fixing buckles and slings to appropriate positions on the chest fixation strap as needed. The fixing buckles secure the drainage tube, making assembly and disassembly convenient, easy to move, and firmly fixed. When the patient needs to move, the drainage bottle can be suspended from the body via the slings without hand lifting. The traction tabs on the slings can clamp between the chest fixation strap and the body, thus clamping the slings and ensuring a firm connection between the slings and the Velcro's textured surface, stably suspending the drainage bottle. The Velcro fixing strips can also fix the drainage tube, and the slings are easy to remove when not in use. The entire device requires no adhesive tape, is easy to wear and adjust, securely fixes the drainage tube, and is convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0012] Example 1

[0013] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this utility model discloses a chest drainage tube fixation device. Two traction fixation straps 2 are fixedly connected to the upper front and rear positions of a chest fixation strap 1. First Velcro 101s are fixedly connected to corresponding sides at both ends of the chest fixation strap 1, allowing the chest fixation strap 1 to be connected and wrapped around the chest via the first Velcro 101s. Second Velcro 201s are fixedly connected to corresponding sides at both ends of the two traction fixation straps 2, allowing the two traction fixation straps 2 to be connected and hung on the chest. The user's shoulder area is used to pull the chest fixation strap 1, preventing it from slipping down. The outer side of the chest fixation strap 1 is fixedly connected to a Velcro surface 3. A fixing buckle 4 and a hanging strap 5 are attached to the Velcro surface 3. The bottom of the fixing buckle 4 is fixedly connected to a hook surface 401. The hook surface 401 is attached to the Velcro surface 3. The fixing buckle 4 can be attached to any position on the Velcro surface 3 as needed, so as to facilitate the fixing of the drainage tube.

[0014] The lower end of the hanging strap 5 is fixedly connected to a hook 6, through which the drainage bottle can be hung. The upper end of the hanging strap 5 is fixedly connected to a hook and loop fastener 501, which is glued to the loop fastener surface 3. A pull tab 502 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the hook and loop fastener 501. The pull tab 502 is clamped between the chest fixation strap 1 and the human body. When the chest fixation strap 1 is fixed to the human body, the pull tab 502 is clamped tightly, thereby ensuring a firm connection between the hanging strap 5 and the chest fixation strap 1, and preventing the hook and loop fastener 501 from separating from the loop fastener surface 3 due to excessive weight when hanging the drainage bottle. Hook and loop fastener strips 503 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on both sides of the hanging strap 5. The loop fastener strips 503 and hook and loop fastener strips 503 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the hanging strap 5. The drainage tube is attached to the hanging strap 5 by wrapping and bonding the loop fastener strips and hook and loop fastener strips on both sides, thereby fixing the drainage tube. When the suspender strap 5 is not needed, it can be directly removed from the chest fixation strap 1, which is convenient. The chest fixation strap 1, the traction fixation strap 2, and the traction plate 502 are all made of fabric, which makes it easy to fit the body for fixation and easy to fold and store.
