11 results about "Chest tube" patented technology

A chest tube (chest drain, thoracic catheter, tube thoracostomy, or intercostal drain) is a flexible plastic tube that is inserted through the chest wall and into the pleural space or mediastinum. It is used to remove air (pneumothorax), fluid (pleural effusion, blood, chyle), or pus (empyema) from the intrathoracic space. It is also known as a Bülau drain or an intercostal catheter.

A chest tube positioning device for thoracic surgery

The present application belongs to the technical field of medical apparatus and instruments, and particularly relates to a chest tube positioning device for thoracic surgery nursing, which comprises a first dressing part, a medical rubber ring, a second dressing part, a catheter fixing part, a clamping ring assembly and a clamping strip arranged on the clamping ring assembly. The first dressing part is coated with the medical rubber ring and attached to the skin. One end of the clamping strip can be inserted into the interior of the clamping ring assembly and change the clamping degree of the clamping ring assembly. The clamping ring assembly is sleeved on the medical rubber ring, clamps the medical rubber ring and the chest tube and keeps them fixed. The second dressing part has a spacing with the first dressing part. The catheter fixing part is arranged on the second dressing part. The present application can effectively reduce the discomfort caused by the drainage tube caused by the patient's daily activities. The pulling force will not directly act on the wound, reducing the risk of secondary trauma caused by improper management of the tube.

Intravenous tubing securement band with adjustable overall length

ActiveUS12636469B2CatheterIntravenous tubingEndotracheal tube
An embodiment provides an adjustable intravenous (IV) securement band with non-occlusive retention in case of excessive force (i.e., automatically loosens) and traction for securing an IV to a patient's arm. Embodiments may further include features such as guides and or channels on the band to hold tubing. Embodiments may be secured to patients to be used as a non-adhesive securement aid for tubing / catheter (e.g., IV's, enteral tubes, Foley catheters, endotracheal tubes, nasogastric (NG) tubes, chest tubes, and the like) retention on patients. An embodiment includes a series of separable flaps, any of which may be separated from the band to adjust the length of the band.
