Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage device technology, specifically a multifunctional electrocardiogram monitoring lead storage device. Background Technology

[0002] An electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor is an important medical instrument used to continuously monitor a patient's vital signs, such as electrocardiogram (ECG), blood pressure, and blood oxygen saturation. It mainly consists of ECG monitoring electrodes, a blood pressure cuff, and a blood oxygen saturation sensor. ECG monitoring electrodes typically have five or three leads, each with a different function. These include ECG leads, blood oxygen saturation leads, and blood pressure leads. The five-lead leads are respectively placed at the first rib along the right midclavicular line (right upper RA), the first rib along the left midclavicular line (left upper LA), at the level of the xiphoid process along the left midclavicular line (left lower LL), the first rib along the right midclavicular line (right lower RL), and the fourth intercostal space along the left sternal border (middle C). For the three-lead leads, only the first three locations are needed.

[0003] Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors have numerous and long leads, each with a different placement, making them prone to tangling during use. Medical staff often waste considerable time organizing these leads. Furthermore, the leads are frequently dragged along the floor from the monitor to the patient, increasing the risk of damage from being stepped on, impacting efficiency, and increasing departmental costs. There is also the risk of patients pulling on the leads, causing the monitor to tip over and fall, potentially injuring or damaging personnel. Therefore, providing a device for storing and protecting ECG monitor leads has become a pressing issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional ECG monitoring lead cable storage device. Through a structural design using cloth strips, zippers, and elastic bands, the lead cables are wrapped in a protective sleeve, preventing them from becoming tangled. Elastic bands at both ends of the cloth strips facilitate binding during use, preventing the protective sleeve from shifting and slipping off. This also prevents patients from pulling on the lead cables and electrode pads, which could lead to electrode detachment or increased discomfort. This solves the problem of inconvenient storage of ECG monitoring lead cables and other components used with ECG monitors.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A multifunctional electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring lead storage device includes a strip of cloth wrapped around the ECG monitoring lead. The cloth strip has zippers on both sides that can be pulled together, forming a protective sleeve for wrapping and protecting the ECG monitoring lead. Each end of the cloth strip has an elastic band (such as a resistance band). The cloth strip also has fasteners for fixing and limiting the protective sleeve.

[0006] Furthermore, the zipper is located on both sides of the front of the fabric strip; the two elastic bands (such as elastic bands) are located on the back of the first and last ends of the fabric strip, respectively; the fastener is a fastening strap with a press-type buckle, the middle of the fastening strap is sewn onto the back of the fabric strip, and the end of the fastening strap is provided with a press-type buckle (i.e., male buckle and female buckle). The protective cover fixes and limits the fastening strap to the headboard or guardrail of the hospital bed by using the press-type buckle.

[0007] Furthermore, the zipper is a segmented zipper, comprising a first zipper, a second zipper, and a third zipper along the length of the fabric strip; a first opening is formed between the first zipper and the second zipper, and this first opening is located near the headboard of the hospital bed; a second opening is formed between the second zipper and the third zipper, and this second opening is located near the guardrail of the hospital bed; and there are two fasteners, one fastener located at the first opening and the other fastener located at the second opening.

[0008] A multifunctional ECG monitoring lead storage device also includes a storage bag, with connectors at both ends of the storage bag, which can be hung on a bed rail via the two connectors.

[0009] To elaborate further, when the male and female buckles on one of the fixing straps are engaged, one end of the protective cover can be hung on the headboard of the hospital bed; when the male and female buckles on the other fixing strap are engaged, the other end of the protective cover can be hung on the bed rail.

[0010] Furthermore, both elastic bands (such as elastic bands) include elastic fabric strips sewn onto the fabric strips, the elastic fabric strips having through holes, the number of through holes being several, and a button sewn onto the end of the elastic fabric strip away from the fabric strip.

[0011] Furthermore, the connector includes connecting straps sewn onto both sides of the outer wall of the storage bag. A second male buckle and a second female buckle are fixedly connected to the two connecting straps respectively. When the second male buckle passes through the bed rail and engages with the second female buckle, the storage bag can be fixed to the bed rail of the hospital bed.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model, through its structural design of a cloth strip, zipper, and elastic band, allows the zipper teeth on both sides of the cloth strip to be pulled together to form a long, cylindrical protective sleeve, thus encasing the ECG monitoring leads and preventing their tangled distribution. The elastic bands at both ends of the cloth strip facilitate binding during use, preventing the protective sleeve from shifting and slipping off. This also prevents patients from pulling on the monitoring leads and electrode pads, which could lead to electrode detachment or increased discomfort. Furthermore, the ends of the cloth strip can be finished with nylon binding tape, avoiding double or multiple layers that increase edge stiffness and discomfort for the patient, thereby improving patient comfort.

[0013] 2. This utility model utilizes a segmented zipper combined with a press-lock fastener. In practical use, one end of the protective cover can be attached to the headboard of the hospital bed via a press-lock fastener, while the other end can be attached to the bed rail via another press-lock fastener. This effectively secures and limits the protective cover's position. It prevents patients from pulling on the ECG monitoring leads, which could then pull on the instrument (such as the ECG monitor), causing it to tip over or fall and injure or damage people. Simultaneously, it prevents the monitoring leads from dangling below the bed edge and being stepped on and damaged.

[0014] 3. The storage bag can be used as a spare storage bag or as a storage bag for accessories during patient use. During the use of the ECG monitor, non-invasive blood pressure is monitored intermittently (e.g., every hour or every two hours), without continuous monitoring. If the blood pressure cuff is continuously strapped to the patient's arm during periods when blood pressure is not being monitored, it can increase patient discomfort and even affect upper limb blood circulation. We often remove the blood pressure cuff periodically, or patients frequently request nurses to remove it. If the removed cuff can be immediately placed in the storage bag on the bed rail, it can prevent the blood pressure cuff from drooping off the bed edge or the floor, or pressing on the patient's back or other pressure points. Some patients cannot cooperate with the use of pulse oximetry monitoring and often remove the pulse oximetry probe. In this case, the pulse oximetry probe can also be placed in the storage bag. The use of this storage bag during the patient's use of the ECG monitor can prevent components from pressing on the patient's skin and causing pressure injuries, prevent it from drooping off the bed edge or the floor and damaging components, and also increase the cleanliness of the bed. When the patient is not using the ECG monitor, the ECG leads and cloth strips can be placed in the storage bag and kept close to the monitor. This promotes tidiness in the ward and prevents dust accumulation on the components, offering multiple uses. Both the cloth strips and the storage bag are made of smooth, light-blocking curtain fabric, are washable and reusable, and are extremely convenient for daily cleaning and disinfection, and dry easily. Furthermore, their light-blocking effect can also delay the aging and damage of the ECG monitor leads to some extent. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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. Example 1

[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a multifunctional electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring lead storage device, including a cloth strip 1 wrapped around the ECG monitoring lead, with zippers 2 on both sides of the cloth strip 1 that can be pulled together, forming a protective sleeve for wrapping and storing the ECG monitoring lead through the zipper pull; each end of the cloth strip 1 has an elastic band 3 for binding the ECG monitoring lead inside the protective sleeve; the cloth strip 1 is provided with a fixing member for fixing and limiting the protective sleeve.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The zipper 2 is located on both sides of the front of the fabric strip 1; the two elastic bands 3 are located on the back of the beginning and end of the fabric strip 1, respectively; the fastener is a fixing strap 4 with a press-type buckle 40, the middle of the fixing strap 4 is sewn to the back of the fabric strip 1, and the end of the fixing strap 4 is provided with a press-type buckle 40. The protective cover is fixed and limited by fixing the fixing strap 4 to the headboard or guardrail of the hospital bed through the press-type buckle 40. The press-type buckle 40 includes a male buckle 401 and a female buckle 402 fixedly connected to both ends of the fixing strap 4. When the male buckle 401 and the female buckle 402 on the press-type buckle 40 are inserted and engaged, the protective cover can be hung on the headboard or guardrail.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The front side of the fabric strip 1 is sewn with left and right zipper teeth 22 of a zipper 2. The left and right zipper teeth 21 and 22 are engaged by the zipper pull, forming a ring-shaped protective sleeve on the fabric strip 1. The fabric strip 1 is made of smooth curtain fabric with a light-blocking effect. The fixing strap 4 is made of a material matching the fabric strip 1, giving it strength and abrasion resistance. The finishing tape sewn at the end of the fabric strip 1 is made of nylon. The purpose of using nylon for the finishing tape is to avoid increasing edge hardness due to double or multiple layers of finishing, thus improving patient comfort. The zipper 2 is a segmented zipper, including a first zipper and a second zipper along the length of the fabric strip, with a third opening 10 formed between the first and second zippers, located near the bed.

[0025] Please see Figure 3 A multifunctional ECG monitoring lead storage device includes a storage bag 5. Both ends of the storage bag 5 are equipped with connectors 6, allowing it to be hung on the bed rail via the two connectors 6. Each connector 6 includes connecting straps 600 sewn onto both sides of the outer wall of the storage bag 5. A second male buckle 601 and a second female buckle 602 are fixedly connected to each of the two connecting straps 600. When the second male buckle 601 passes through the bed rail and engages with the second female buckle 602, the storage bag 5 can be secured to the bed rail. This provides medical staff with a convenient storage location, makes efficient use of the space around the bed, and improves the convenience of medical operations. Specifically, the storage bag 5 can be used as a spare storage bag or as a storage bag for accessories during patient use. When using a cardiac monitor, non-invasive blood pressure is monitored intermittently (e.g., every hour or every two hours), without the need for continuous monitoring. If the blood pressure cuff remains continuously strapped to the patient's arm during periods of non-monitoring, it can increase discomfort and even affect upper limb blood circulation. We often periodically remove the blood pressure cuff, or patients frequently request nurses to remove it. If the removed cuff is immediately placed in the storage bag 5 on the bed rail, it can prevent the cuff from drooping off the bed edge or floor, or pressing on the patient's back or other pressure points. Some patients cannot cooperate with pulse oximetry monitoring and often remove the pulse oximetry probe; in this case, the probe can also be placed in the storage bag 5.

[0026] In addition, the storage bag 5 may have a drawstring at the opening for adjusting the tightness of the opening. Both the protective cover and the storage bag 5 are made of curtain fabric with a light-blocking effect, which can be washed and reused repeatedly. Daily cleaning and disinfection are extremely convenient, and it is easy to dry. At the same time, because of its light-blocking effect, it can also delay the aging and damage of the connecting wires to a certain extent.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The elastic band 3 is an elastic band, and both elastic bands 3 include an elastic fabric strip 300 sewn onto the fabric strip 1. The elastic fabric strip 300 has through holes 301, and the number of through holes 301 is several. A button 302 is sewn onto the elastic fabric strip 300 at the end away from the fabric strip 1. The two elastic bands 3 are sewn onto the beginning and end of the cloth strip 1, respectively. Each elastic band 3 includes an elastic fabric strip 300 sewn onto the cloth strip 1. The elastic fabric strip 300 is made of a blend of highly elastic rubber or spandex and textile fibers to ensure that it can stretch within a certain range. The elastic fabric strip 300 has through holes 301, and there are several through holes 301. A button 302 is sewn onto the end of the elastic fabric strip 300 away from the cloth strip 1. The design of the elastic band 3 allows the cloth strip 1 to better fit different numbers of ECG monitoring leads when it wraps around to form a long cylindrical protective sleeve. By adjusting the fit of the button 302 with the through holes 301 at different positions, it is convenient to bind the leads during use, and prevent the protective sleeve from shifting and slipping off during use. At the same time, it can prevent patients from pulling on the leads and thus pulling on the electrode pads, causing the electrode pads to fall off and increasing discomfort. Example 2

[0028] Please see Figure 6 This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except that it is used when the ECG lead wires connected to the ECG monitor are relatively long. The zipper is a three-section zipper, comprising a first zipper 11, a second zipper 12, and a third zipper 13 along the length of the fabric strip 1. A first opening 14 is formed between the first zipper 11 and the second zipper 12, and this first opening 14 is located near the headboard of the bed. A second opening 15 is formed between the second zipper 12 and the third zipper 13, and this second opening 15 is located near the bed rail. There are two fasteners 4, one located at the first opening 14 and the other located at the second opening 15.
