Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of molding device technology, specifically a molding device for a newborn nasal protector. Background Technology

[0002] In the neonatal ward, in order to ensure that premature infants can breathe normally, they are usually put on non-invasive ventilators. Premature infants are on non-invasive ventilators for a long time, and wearing nasal plugs for a long time can easily cause nasal pressure injury to the nasal septum and nasal wings. In severe cases, it can cause disfigurement and easily lead to medical disputes.

[0003] Currently, when using non-invasive ventilators in clinical practice, hydrocolloid dressings are applied to the nose for protection. Due to the unique shape of the nose and the varying sizes of noses developed by different gestational ages of infants, different sizes are required. This necessitates nurses manually tracing, cutting, and punching holes, a tedious, time-consuming, and labor-intensive process. Furthermore, the quality of manual cutting is inconsistent. Nurses frequently remove the nasal dressings during shift changes and nasal checks, leading to damage or loss of adhesion. Therefore, nasal dressings need to be replaced multiple times daily, resulting in a large demand.
