Pipe pressure relief pad

Abstract

This invention provides a tubing pressure relief pad suitable for placement between a medical tubing and a patient's skin to prevent pressure injuries. The tubing pressure relief pad includes a body and a groove disposed on the body. The medical tubing (e.g., a nasogastric tube) can be placed in the groove. By placing the body on the patient's skin surface (e.g., the nasal ala or philtrum), the pressure of the tubing can be properly distributed, effectively preventing prolonged pressure on local skin tissue and thus avoiding medical device-related pressure injuries.

Claims

1. A tubing pressure relief pad suitable for placement between a medical tubing and a patient's skin to prevent pressure injury, comprising: a body; and a groove disposed on the body for placement of the medical tubing.

2. The pipeline pressure relief pad as described in claim 1, wherein the material of the body comprises an elastic foam material or a sponge material.

3. The decompression pad for the tubing as described in claim 1, wherein the medical tubing is a nasogastric tube.

4. The tubing pressure relief pad as described in claim 1, wherein the system is intended to be placed on the patient's nasal ala or philtrum.

5. The tubing pressure relief pad as described in claim 3, wherein the system is intended to be placed on the patient's nasal ala or philtrum.
