The present invention discloses a protective case for a tube, said case made up of a reflective fabric provided with joining means, such that the joining means are coupled. The reflective fabric consists of a tubular configuration in order for a tube to be inserted and the tubular configuration has a diameter between 1.5 and 3 cm. Advantageously, the configuration defined by the protective case makes any medical tube more visible, making it possible to more clearly identify its position and preventing any possible accident that may interrupt the treatment of the patient.

Description

DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION
Funda protectora de una conducción. Protective cover for a conduction.
SECTOR DE LA TÉCNICA TECHNIQUE SECTOR
La presente invención se refiere a una funda protectora de una conducción de uso preferente en el ámbito sanitario, y que posibilita la señalización, detección y localización de una conducción de un fluido, de manera que la funda protectora permite dotar a la conducción de una mayor visibilidad con el fin de evitar un posible accidente o interrupción del fluido localizado en el interior de la conducción. The present invention refers to a protective cover for a conduit for preferential use in the healthcare field, and which makes it possible to signal, detect and locate a fluid conduit, so that the protective cover allows the conduit to be provided with greater visibility in order to avoid a possible accident or interruption of the fluid located inside the conduit.
Para lograr este propósito, la funda protectora se configura como un dispositivo integrado por un tejido reflectante y unos medios de unión, de forma que el tejido reflectante permite la identificación de la conducción por parte del usuario, manteniendo la visibilidad de la conducción. To achieve this purpose, the protective cover is configured as a device composed of a reflective fabric and joining means, so that the reflective fabric allows the user to identify the driver, maintaining the visibility of the driver.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
En el sector sanitario se utiliza una gran variedad de instrumentos sanitarios para la adecuada atención al paciente. Cabe destacar que este instrumental sanitario debe estar siempre perfectamente cuidado y en buen estado con el fin de evitar cualquier accidente que pueda interrumpir o alterar el tratamiento del paciente. In the healthcare sector, a wide variety of healthcare instruments are used for adequate patient care. It should be noted that these medical instruments must always be perfectly cared for and in good condition in order to avoid any accident that could interrupt or alter the patient's treatment.
Concretamente, las conducciones sanitarias que permiten el paso de fluidos tienen una gran importancia, debido a que cualquier interrupción de dicha conducción podría causar graves situaciones de emergencia. Specifically, sanitary pipes that allow the passage of fluids are of great importance, because any interruption of said pipe could cause serious emergency situations.
Actualmente, las conducciones que permiten el traslado de diversos fluidos son esencialmente tubos que no presentan visibilidad, y pueden llegar a ser difíciles de percibir tanto para el personal sanitario como para cualquier otro paciente, lo que puede inducir a un estado de emergencia causado por una posible pisada sobre el tubo sanitario o cualquier otro contratiempo. Por todo lo anterior, el solicitante de la presente solicitud de protección detecta la necesidad de desarrollar una configuración novedosa y ventajosa de una funda protectora que permita dotar a cualquier conducción sanitaria de una mayor visibilidad, posibilitando la identificación de su posición con una mayor claridad y evitando cualquier posible accidente que pueda interrumpir el tratamiento del paciente. Currently, the pipes that allow the transfer of various fluids are essentially tubes that do not have visibility, and can be difficult to perceive both for healthcare personnel and for any other patient, which can induce a state of emergency caused by a possible stepping on the sanitary tube or any other mishap. For all of the above, the applicant of this application for protection detects the need to develop a novel and advantageous configuration of a protective cover that allows any medical conduit to be provided with greater visibility, enabling the identification of its position with greater clarity and avoiding any possible accident that could interrupt the patient's treatment.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención permite solventar la problemática anteriormente expuesta, ofreciendo una funda protectora que permite la introducción de una conducción, de manera que la funda protectora dota a la conducción de una mayor visibilidad y posibilita la identificación de su posición, evitando posibles interrupciones de la transmisión del fluido que se encuentra en su interior por contacto accidental con la conducción. The present invention allows us to solve the problem previously explained, offering a protective cover that allows the introduction of a conduit, so that the protective cover provides the conduit with greater visibility and makes it possible to identify its position, avoiding possible interruptions of the transmission. of the fluid found inside due to accidental contact with the conduction.
Para ello, la funda protectora que se preconiza está constituida por un tejido reflectante, preferentemente de un material de poliéster, el cual es el elemento principal de la invención que permite la identificación de la posición de la conducción. To this end, the protective cover that is recommended is made of a reflective fabric, preferably made of polyester material, which is the main element of the invention that allows the identification of the driving position.
Así, el tejido reflectante está provisto de unos medios de unión formados por elementos complementarios que están dispuestos en los extremos longitudinales del tejido reflectante, de manera que los medios de unión quedan acoplados. Estos medios de unión se pueden materializar en una cremallera, botones, botones a presión, tiras de velero®, cosido, pegado o cualquier otro medio de unión en el que participan dos elementos complementarios. Thus, the reflective fabric is provided with connecting means formed by complementary elements that are arranged at the longitudinal ends of the reflective fabric, so that the connecting means are coupled. These joining means can be embodied in a zipper, buttons, snap buttons, sailboat® strips, sewing, gluing or any other joining means in which two complementary elements participate.
Por otra parte, el tejido que integra la funda protectora presentará la longitud adecuada en función de la aplicación concreta a que vaya destinado, permitiendo identificar distintas conducciones inequívocamente. On the other hand, the fabric that makes up the protective cover will have the appropriate length depending on the specific application for which it is intended, allowing different pipes to be identified unequivocally.
De acuerdo con la esencia de la invención los medios de unión quedan acoplados constituyendo el tejido reflectante una configuración tubular para la introducción de una conducción en la funda protectora. Dicha configuración tubular presenta un diámetro preferente entre 1 ,5 y 3 cm, de manera que la funda protectora de la invención puede ser empleada en combinación con tubos sanitarios con distintos diámetros. En definitiva, la funda de la invención proporciona un elemento protector y señalizador para todo tipo de conducciones, preferentemente sanitarias, y permite evitar accidentes o situaciones de peligrosidad en el tratamiento de un paciente por contacto accidental con la conducción. In accordance with the essence of the invention, the connecting means are coupled, the reflective fabric constituting a tubular configuration for the introduction of a conduit into the protective sheath. Said tubular configuration has a preferred diameter between 1.5 and 3 cm, so that the protective cover of the invention can be used in combination with sanitary tubes with different diameters. In short, the cover of the invention provides a protective and signaling element for all types of pipes, preferably sanitary, and makes it possible to avoid accidents or dangerous situations in the treatment of a patient due to accidental contact with the pipe.
