Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice pack fixing technology, specifically to an easily adjustable ice pack fixing device for infusion port tubing. Background Technology

[0002] Although port-a-catheter placement is a minimally invasive procedure, the incision can still cause local tissue damage, leading to swelling, pain, and inflammation. Clinical studies have shown that applying ice packs promptly after surgery can constrict local blood vessels, reduce bleeding and exudation, and thus effectively reduce swelling.

[0003] Currently, when applying ice packs after port-a-catheter placement, the ice pack is simply placed on the incision site. This makes it difficult to keep the ice pack stable and it is prone to displacement or slippage. It often requires manual support from medical staff or the patient's family. In addition, the ice pack will gradually melt after a period of use, and the melted water can cause discomfort to the patient when using it.

[0004] In view of this, this paper studies and improves upon existing problems, and provides an easily adjustable ice pack fixing device for infusion port placement. The device has a reasonable structural design, high stability, and is suitable for various applications. The aim of this technology is to solve the problem and improve its practical value. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention features a device that, upon contact between the ice pack and the spacer ring, causes the spacer ring to descend due to the weight of the ice pack. Since the temperature of the ice pack is usually much lower than the normal temperature of human skin, direct contact may cause a rapid drop in local skin temperature, leading to vasoconstriction and obstructed blood circulation. This device prevents damage to skin tissue due to ischemia and hypoxia, which could result in frostbite if left untreated for an extended period. Simultaneously, the drainage channel diverts the water from the melted ice pack, preventing water from flowing onto the patient and affecting use or causing discomfort. This invention provides an easily adjustable ice pack fixing device for infusion port catheters.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an easily adjustable infusion port insertion ice pack fixing device, comprising a fixing ring, straps on both sides of the fixing ring, a partition ring inside the fixing ring, a circular groove in the middle of the partition ring, a circular partition plate installed on the circular groove, the circular partition plate, the fixing ring, and the partition ring all having notches at the same positions and communicating with the circular groove, and strip partition plates on both sides of the notches of the partition plates, the strip partition plates being fixedly connected to the circular partition plate and the fixing ring on both sides respectively, and a drainage port on the outside of the fixing ring.

[0007] Preferably, one end of the strap is fixedly connected to a buckle.

[0008] Preferably, the spacer ring is provided with a flow guide groove, which corresponds to the water inlet provided on the inner side of the fixed ring.

[0009] Preferably, spring rods are symmetrically arranged on the fixed ring. The lower end of the spring rod is connected to one end of an L-shaped connecting plate, and the other end of the L-shaped connecting plate passes through a sliding groove provided inside the fixed ring and is fixedly connected to a spacer ring. A fixed plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the spring rod. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the end of the fixed plate away from the spring rod. An air inlet pipe is connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the fixed plate. The air inlet pipe is embedded inside the fixed ring and is fixedly connected to the fixed ring. A guide pipe is provided on one side of the air inlet pipe, and a fixed rod is movably connected inside the guide pipe.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the air intake pipe is connected to one end of the connecting pipe, and the other end of the connecting pipe extends to the outside through the fixing ring and is fixedly connected to the guide pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the spacer ring is made of an elastic material.

[0012] This invention has the following beneficial effects: After fixing, the ice pack is placed inside the fixing ring, so that the ice pack will fall on the upper end of the spacer ring. After the ice pack comes into contact with the spacer ring, the weight of the ice pack will press the spacer ring down. Since the temperature of the ice pack is usually much lower than the normal temperature of human skin, direct contact may cause a sharp drop in local skin temperature, causing the skin blood vessels to constrict and blood circulation to be obstructed. If this continues for a long time, the skin tissue may be damaged due to ischemia and hypoxia, or even frostbite. After the spacer ring descends to the bottom, the outlet of the guide channel will be connected to the drainage port, so that medical staff can drain the water after the ice pack melts through the drainage port and the drainage tube, preventing the water from flowing into the patient after the ice pack melts, affecting the use and causing the patient discomfort.

Detailed Implementation

[0014] 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.

[0015] Reference Figure 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model provides an adjustable infusion port insertion ice pack fixing device, including a fixing ring 1, straps 2 on both sides of the fixing ring 1, a buckle 3 connected to one end of the straps 2, a partition ring 5 inside the fixing ring 1, a circular groove in the middle of the partition ring 5, a circular partition plate 14 installed on the circular groove, the circular partition plate, the fixing ring 1 and the partition ring 5 all have notches in the same position and are connected to the circular groove, and strip partition plates 15 are provided on both sides of the notches of the partition plate, the two sides of the strip partition plates are fixedly connected to the circular partition plate and the fixing ring respectively, a flow guide groove is provided on the partition ring 5, the flow guide groove corresponds to the water inlet 16 inside the fixing ring 1, and a drain port 4 is provided on the outside of the fixing ring 1; The spacer ring 5 is made of elastic material and has a through hole in the center. After it is fixed, the ring-shaped ice pack is placed inside the fixing ring 1, so that the ring-shaped ice pack will fall on the upper end of the spacer ring 5. After the ring-shaped ice pack comes into contact with the spacer ring 5, the weight of the ring-shaped ice pack will press the spacer ring 5 down. Since the temperature of the ring-shaped ice pack is usually much lower than the normal temperature of human skin, direct contact may cause a sharp drop in local skin temperature, causing the skin blood vessels to constrict and blood circulation to be obstructed. If this continues for a long time, the skin tissue may be damaged due to ischemia and hypoxia, and in severe cases, it may even cause frostbite. After the spacer ring 5 falls to the bottom, the drainage channel is connected to the water inlet, so that the melted water enters the interior of the fixing ring 1. Then, medical staff can drain the water from the ring-shaped ice pack through the drainage port 4 connected to the drainage tube, so as to prevent the water from the ring-shaped ice pack from flowing into the patient and affecting the use and causing the patient discomfort. A spring rod 7 is symmetrically arranged on the fixed ring 1. The lower end of the spring rod 7 is connected to one end of an L-shaped connecting plate 6. The other end of the L-shaped connecting plate 6 passes through a sliding groove provided inside the fixed ring 1 and is fixedly connected to a spacer ring 5. A fixed plate 8 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the spring rod 7. A connecting rod 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixed plate 8 away from the spring rod 7. An air inlet pipe 10 is connected to the end of the connecting rod 9 away from the fixed plate 8. The air inlet pipe 10 is embedded inside the fixed ring 1 and is fixedly connected to the fixed ring 1. A connecting pipe 11 is connected to one end of the air inlet pipe 10. A guide pipe 12 is provided on one side of the air inlet pipe 10. A fixed rod 13 is movably connected inside the guide pipe 12. As the spacer ring 5 descends, it causes the L-shaped connecting plate 6 to descend synchronously. As the L-shaped connecting plate 6 descends, it causes the fixing plate 8 to descend synchronously. As the fixing plate 8 descends, it pushes the connecting rod 9 to descend synchronously into the air intake pipe 10. The air intake pipe 10 is equipped with a fixed air pressure. After the connecting rod 9 enters the air intake pipe 10, it compresses the air pressure into the connecting pipe 11. The connecting pipe 11 then delivers the air pressure into the guide pipe 12. After the air pressure enters the guide pipe 12, it pushes the fixing rod 13 outward. After the fixing rod 13 is pushed out, it fixes the ring-shaped ice pack inside the fixing ring 1, preventing the ring-shaped ice pack from falling off.

[0016] Working principle and process: When using the device, the two sets of straps 2 are connected by buckle 3 to fix the device behind the patient. After fixing, the ring-shaped ice pack is placed inside the fixing ring 1, so that the ring-shaped ice pack will fall on the upper end of the partition ring 5. After the ring-shaped ice pack comes into contact with the partition ring 5, the weight of the ring-shaped ice pack will press down the partition ring 5 and make it fall. After the partition ring 5 falls to the bottom, the guide channel is connected to the water inlet, and the melted water enters the fixed ring 1. Then, the medical staff can drain the melted water from the ring-shaped ice pack through the drainage port 4. After the ring-shaped ice pack is fixed, the baffle ensures that the melted water from the ice pack is always discharged through the guide channel and the drainage port 4. As the spacer ring 5 descends, it causes the connecting plate 6 to descend synchronously. As the connecting plate 6 descends, it causes the fixing plate 8 to descend synchronously. As the fixing plate 8 descends, it pushes the connecting rod 9 to descend synchronously into the air intake pipe 10. After the connecting rod 9 enters the air intake pipe 10, it compresses the air pressure into the connecting pipe 11. As a result, the connecting pipe 11 delivers the air pressure into the guide pipe 12. After the air pressure enters the guide pipe 12, it pushes the fixing rod 13 outward. As a result, after the fixing rod 13 is pushed outward, it fixes the annular ice pack inside the fixing ring 1. After use, remove the ring-shaped ice pack. When the ring-shaped ice pack is removed, the spacer ring 5 will automatically spring back to its original position by the force of the spring rod 7.

[0017] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
