[0015] 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.
[0016] like Figure 1 As shown; A nasogastric tube liner, comprising a nasogastric tube body 1.
[0017] In this implementation plan: Traditional devices lack external elastic restraint, preventing the liner from fitting snugly against the patient's nasal cavity. This can easily lead to displacement or dislodgement of the nasogastric tube, increasing patient discomfort and potentially affecting treatment outcomes. Furthermore, the traditional device's integrated design requires complete disassembly for replacement, making the process complex and time-consuming. This increases the workload for medical staff and may also impact patient comfort. To address this technical issue, a fixation component 2 is added.
[0018] Furthermore: like Figures 1 to 5 As shown: Based on the above: the fixing component 2 includes a pad body 21, a fixing strip 22, and a limiting strip 23. Multiple pad bodies 21 are detachably connected to the outside of the gastric tube body 1. The pad body 21 has a petal-shaped structure. The material of the middle part of the pad body 21 is memory foam. The fixing strips 22 are fixedly connected to both sides of the pad body 21. Several pad bodies 21 are bonded together by the fixing strips 22. A limiting strip 23 is fixedly connected to one side of the pad body 21. The limiting strip 23 is made of rubber. A first limiting groove 25 is opened on the outer side of one end of the pad body 21. A second limiting groove 27 is opened on the outer side of the other end of the pad body 21. A first limiting ring 26 is detachably connected to the outer side of the first limiting groove 25. A second limiting ring 28 is detachably connected to the outer side of the second limiting groove 27. Both outer sides of the pad body 21 are made of silicone.
[0019] In this implementation scheme: When using the device, the user can place it on the outside of the gastric tube body 1. The position of the fixing component 2 on the outside of the gastric tube body 1 can be adjusted according to the specific needs of different patients. Several pad bodies 21 are connected to each other by fixing strips 22, achieving a mutual fixation effect. Simultaneously, the first limiting ring 26 and the second limiting ring 28, made of medical and elastic materials, can be placed on the outside of the first limiting groove 25 and the second limiting groove 27 to limit the position of the pad bodies 21 on the outside of the gastric tube body 1, ensuring that the pad bodies 21 do not slip. At the same time, the limiting strip 23 on the inner side of the pad body 21 increases the friction between the fixing component 2 and the gastric tube body 1, further increasing the firmness of the device's fixation on the outside of the gastric tube body 1. After using the device, medical personnel can quickly disassemble and replace the fixing component 2 by tearing off the fixing strips 22 between the pad bodies 21. The design of the fixing strip 22 in section 2 allows the pad body 21 to be easily disassembled after use by tearing off the fixing strip 22, thus simplifying the replacement and cleaning process. This design not only improves the efficiency of medical operations but also reduces the risk of cross-infection caused by difficult cleaning. The four-lobed structure of the pad body 21 can better fit the shape of the nasal cavity or other parts, ensuring the stability of the pad body 21 during use. At the same time, the design of the first limiting ring 26 and the second limiting ring 28 allows the pad body 21 to adapt to different patient body shapes and the position of the gastric tube, improving the comfort of use. In addition, this design also helps to prevent the pad body 21 from shifting or falling off, further improving patient comfort. Medical staff can quickly and easily install and remove this pad body 21, which helps to save time and improve work efficiency. The simple structural design also makes it easier for medical staff to be trained and learn how to use this pad body 21.
[0020] Furthermore: In an optional embodiment, a deformation groove 24 is provided on the inner side of one end of the pad body 21.
[0021] In this implementation scheme: the waterproof layer 29 can effectively prevent external moisture and liquid from seeping into the device, thereby keeping the inside of the device dry and clean. This is of great significance for preventing bacterial growth and cross-infection. The waterproof layer 29 can prevent the patient's nasal mucosa from losing water and reduce the patient's discomfort.
[0022] Furthermore: In an optional embodiment, a waterproof layer 29 is fixedly connected to one side of the pad body 21.
[0023] In this implementation scheme: by opening the deformation groove 24, the pad body 21 can more easily deform according to the shape and size of the patient's nasal cavity, achieving a more personalized fit. This helps to reduce the gap between the pad body 21 and the nasal cavity, improving the comfort of use. Since everyone's nasal cavity shape and size are different, the deformation groove 24 design allows the pad to adapt more flexibly to the nasal cavity characteristics of different patients, ensuring that it will not loosen or slip off during use.
[0024] Working principle: When using this device, the user can place it on the outside of the nasogastric tube body 1. The position of the fixing component 2 on the outside of the nasogastric tube body 1 can be adjusted according to the specific needs of different patients. Several pad bodies 21 are connected to each other by fixing strips 22, achieving a mutual fixation effect. Simultaneously, the first limiting ring 26 and the second limiting ring 28, made of medical and elastic materials, can be placed on the outside of the first limiting groove 25 and the second limiting groove 27 to limit the position of the pad bodies 21 on the outside of the nasogastric tube body 1, ensuring that the pad bodies 21 do not slip. At the same time, the limiting strip 23 on the inner side of the pad body 21 can further enhance the connection between the fixing component 2 and the nasogastric tube. The friction between the main bodies 1 further increases the firmness of the device's fixation on the outside of the gastric tube main body 1. After use, medical staff can quickly disassemble and replace the fixation component 2 by tearing off the fixing strips 22 between several pad bodies 21. The design of the fixing strips 22 in the fixation component 2 allows the pad bodies 21 to be easily disassembled after use by tearing off the fixing strips 22, thus simplifying the replacement and cleaning process. This design not only improves the efficiency of medical operations but also reduces the risk of cross-infection caused by difficult cleaning. The four-valve structure of the pad bodies 21 can better fit the nasal cavity. The shape of the liner body 21, or other parts, ensures its stability during use. Simultaneously, the design of the first limiting ring 26 and the second limiting ring 28 allows the liner body 21 to adapt to different patient body shapes and the placement of the gastric tube, improving comfort. Furthermore, this design helps prevent displacement or detachment of the liner body 21, further enhancing patient comfort. Medical staff can quickly and easily install and remove the liner body 21, saving time and improving work efficiency. The simple structural design also makes it easier for medical staff to be trained and learn how to use the liner body 21. The waterproof layer 29 effectively prevents external moisture and... Liquid seeps into the device's interior, keeping it dry and clean, which is crucial for preventing bacterial growth and cross-infection. The waterproof layer 29 prevents the patient's nasal mucosa from losing moisture, reducing discomfort. By creating the deformation groove 24, the pad body 21 can more easily deform according to the patient's nasal cavity shape and size, achieving a more personalized fit. This helps reduce the gap between the pad body 21 and the nasal cavity, improving comfort. Since everyone's nasal cavity shape and size are different, the deformation groove 24 design allows the pad to more flexibly adapt to the nasal cavity characteristics of different patients, ensuring that it will not loosen or slip during use.
