Wristband to stabilize hemodialysis connections on the hand

Abstract

The hemodialysis tubing fixation wristband is a tool for stabilizing tubes and connections on patients' hands during hemodialysis in healthcare centers. Currently, considering the way the tubes are connected during the dialysis process, problems such as displacement of the connection location due to changes in the patient's position, insufficient adhesion of the anti-allergic adhesive (CM), the occurrence of sensitivity or wounds on the skin, fatigue of the muscles of the fingers and hands, and patients' concern and anxiety about the connection coming out can be mentioned. In this regard, this wristband has been designed to reduce the possibility of any displacement by fixing these connections with a door clip designed on the wristband and is presented as a solution to the aforementioned challenges.

Description

Description of the invention Title of the invention Wristband to stabilize hemodialysis connections on the hand Technical background of the relevant invention This invention is related to the field of medical science and the process of hemodialysis for patients, which can stabilize and fix the connections and tubes of the dialysis machine on the patient's hand. Technical problem and stating the objectives of the invention The hemodialysis tube stabilizer wristband is a simple yet practical tool that acts as a retainer and to stabilize the dialysis tubes and connections on the patient's hand during hemodialysis in health and medical centers. These patients are treated with a dialysis machine for an average of 3 days a week and 4 hours each day. During this period, the patient's blood goes to the machine through two large venous and arterial needles through the tubes and connections and returns to the patient's body after being re-purified. During this period, the patient must lie still and lie on the bed in an open-backed position. Given the location of the needles in the patient's body and the connections, these connections must be well stabilized and fixed in place. Currently, this is done in medical centers by using a large number of hypoallergenic adhesive strips that sometimes have the possibility of causing sensitivity or wounds on the skin. The patient is also asked not to move his hand because if the connections move and are displaced, the dialysis process will encounter problems.Also, during this approximately 4-hour period, patients must constantly worry about the dislodgement and change of position of these joints in their arm and hand, and protect these joints by placing their fingers in a fixed position, which in turn causes fatigue of the hand muscles during this period of time. In this regard, this wristband has been designed to solve the above problems. A description of the state of the prior art and the history of developments related to the claimed invention. Regarding the background of this invention and its function, the background found in it regarding how to fix and maintain hemodialysis connections on patients' hands is to utilize the traditional and common method of using hypoallergenic adhesives and taking help from the patient's fingers. Providing a solution to an existing technical problem along with an accurate, sufficient, and integrated description of the invention In order to fix the hemodialysis tubes and connections on the patient's hand during the dialysis process, a retaining clip and fixator is needed that can be placed on the patient's hand and wrist area to prevent the tubes from moving and changing their position. For this reason, the above wristband has been designed. This tool consists of a fabric strap made of tarpaulin (1), a W-shaped clip with a lid (2), and a strap adjustment lock (3). The strap adjustment lock (3) is used to determine the size of the wristband based on the patient's wrist circumference, as well as male and female fabric adhesives to fix and tighten the wristband to ensure that the wristband does not move up and down and left and right on the patient's hand. The W-shaped clip with a lid (2), which is designed in its upper and middle parts, consists of a small plastic W-shaped clip with its lid. This clip is designed in such a way that the tubes are placed and fixed at its end. Explanation of shapes, maps and diagrams This figure shows an overview of the designed wristband, which includes the following components: 1) A fabric strap made of tarpaulin 2) W-shaped clamp with door 3) Strap adjustment lock A clear and precise statement of the advantages of the claimed invention over prior inventions. 1) Reducing the use of hypoallergenic adhesive (CM) in medical centers providing hemodialysis services 2) Reducing the likelihood of allergies or wounds on the skin of the hands 3) Reducing patient concerns about any changes in position or removal of attachments during treatment. 4) Providing reassurance to nurses and caregivers at the medical center regarding the lack of movement or removal of connections 5) Ensuring the correct process of performing the dialysis treatment process 6) Freedom of range of motion of the patient's fingers and hand during dialysis. 7) No need for the patient to take the tubes and connections themselves during dialysis. Description of at least one implementation method for implementing the invention The operation of this wristband is as follows: before the start of the hemodialysis process, the wristband is attached to the patient's wrist and adjusted according to the size of the patient's wrist. After completing the process of placing the arterial and venous needles in the patient's veins, the continuation of these two needles, which consists of rubber tubes, is placed on the holder and in the place installed on the clamp and the clamp lock is closed. At this moment, the tubes are fixed and stabilized on the patient's wrist and there is no possibility of any movement for them. Explicit mention of the industrial application of the invention According to the previous explanation, the field of use of this wristband is in the field and industry of medical sciences, especially in hemodialysis centers. Also, considering the structure of this tool, it is possible to use this wristband in other clinical and hospital departments of the field of medical sciences to stabilize and maintain the connections and catheters embedded in the patient's hand and body.

Claims

Complaint What is claimed: Claim 1) The cuff consists of a tarpaulin fabric strap, a strap lock, and a W-shaped clamp attached in the middle, designed to place dialysis tubes and catheters at the far end of the clamp and secure them in place by closing the clamp lid.
