AI Technical Summary
Existing intravenous needles cause compression injuries due to their stiff handles and anti-slip protrusions, leading to severe skin pain and discomfort during infusion.
A new type of intravenous needle featuring a flexible pad with an elastic band attached to the needle handle, which reduces direct skin pressure and prevents compression injuries.
The flexible pad significantly reduces skin pressure pain and prevents compression injuries by providing a soft, cushioned surface between the needle handle and the skin, while also being easy to attach, detach, and reuse after disinfection.

Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of infusion, and in particular to a new type of pressure injury prevention intravenous catheter. [Background technology]
[0002] The intravenous catheter widely used in clinical practice is the scalp vein needle. This needle has a simple needle structure, with a needle tip at the tip and a thin plastic needle handle on the side of the needle, which may also have a non-slip protrusion. When administering infusion, hospital staff holds the needle handle and inserts the needle tip into the patient's vein, then securely fixes the needle handle and infusion tube to the patient's skin with tape. However, the needle handle is relatively hard and has anti-slip protrusions, which can cause severe pressure pain on the skin and lead to pressure wounds on the skin if infusion is continued for a long period of time. For these reasons, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the existing technical problems, and the first objective of the present invention is to provide a new type of intravenous catheter that prevents pressure injuries.
[0004] The technical means of this utility model are as follows: A new type of pressure injury prevention intravenous indwelling needle, including a needle and a needle handle, the front end of the needle is provided with a needle tip, the side of the needle is provided with a needle handle, and the needle is characterized by being provided with a flexible pad, and the flexible pad is provided with an elastic band, which is connected to the needle handle via the elastic band.
[0005] Furthermore, in a plane parallel to the needle handle, the projected shape of the flexible pad coincides with the projected shape of the needle handle. Furthermore, the elastic band is a thin rubber band. Additionally, the flexible padding has micro-holes for ventilation.
[0006] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present application mainly adds a flexible pad to the needle handle, which is detachably attached under the needle handle. This prevents the needle handle from being directly pressed against the skin during infusion. The flexible pad is relatively soft, reducing pressure pain on the skin and preventing pressure sores. The flexible pad is also easily removable by an elastic band that is attached to the needle handle, which makes it easy to attach and retrieve the pad, and it can be reused after disinfection. Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. [Brief description of the drawings]
[0007] In order to more clearly describe the technical solutions in the present utility model or the prior art, the following description will be made with reference to the drawings in a clear and understandable manner. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and those skilled in the art can further obtain other drawings according to these drawings without creative ingenuity.

[0008] The technical means in the embodiments of the present utility model will be described below clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative ingenuity belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. The following is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, and the same or similar numbers indicate the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the orientations or positional relationships of the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "longitudinal", "circumferential" and the like are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are merely for facilitating the description of the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not imply that the device or parts have a specific orientation or need to be arranged or operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention. In describing the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "attached", "connected", "coupled" and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may be fixedly connected, detachably connected or integrally connected. They may be mechanically connected or electrically connected. They may be directly connected, indirectly connected via an intermediate medium or an internal connection between two parts. Those of ordinary skill in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0009] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, this is a new type of intravenous indwelling needle for preventing pressure injuries, which includes a needle portion 1 and a needle handle 3, with a needle tip 2 provided at the front end of the needle portion 1 and the needle handle 3 provided on the side of the needle portion 1. A flexible pad 4 is provided, and an elastic band 5 is provided on the flexible pad 4 and is connected to the needle handle 3 via the elastic band 5.
[0010] Specifically, compared to the intravenous indwelling needles of the prior art, the present application mainly adds a flexible pad 4 to the needle handle 3, and this pad 4 is removably attached under the needle handle 3. This prevents the needle handle 3 from directly pressing against the skin during infusion. The flexible pad 4 is relatively soft, reducing pressure pain on the skin and preventing pressure sores. In addition, the flexible pad 4 can be easily removed by the elastic band 5 that is attached to the needle handle 3, which makes it easy to attach and collect the pad 4, and it can be reused after disinfection.
[0011] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, in a plane parallel to the needle handle 3, the projected shape of the flexible pad 4 coincides with the projected shape of the needle handle 3, i.e., the shape of the flexible pad 4 coincides with the shape of the needle handle 3, thereby avoiding the flexible pad 4 from protruding and not affecting the comfort during use. The elastic band 5 attached to the flexible pad 4 is a thin rubber band that is easily elastically deformed and can easily be used to bind the needle handle 3. The flexible pad 4 used has minute holes for ventilation, which improves ventilation and increases the comfort of use when applied to the skin.
[0012] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is limited by the appended claims and their equivalents. [Explanation of symbols]
