Detailed Description
The following describes specific embodiments of the present utility model in detail with reference to the drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating and illustrating the utility model, are not intended to limit the utility model.
Referring to fig. 1-8, one aspect of the present utility model provides a patient interface mount 1 for securing a respiratory mask or monitoring element, such as a nasal oxygen cannula, for example, to a predetermined wearing location on a patient's body. Thus, although the manner of application of the patient interface mount of the present utility model and the ventilation interface device including the same will be described in detail below primarily with respect to nasal oxygen tubes, the ventilation interface device may also be other types of respiratory masks, such as nasal masks, oral-nasal masks, nasal pillows, full-face masks, etc., which may be used to mount the patient interface mount to the face of a patient for providing respiratory gases to the patient through the mouth, nose, etc. In addition, the provided patient interface mount may also be used to secure the monitoring element in place on the patient's body, such as by attaching to the chest to monitor vital signs such as heart beat, respiratory rate, etc.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a nasal oxygen cannula, and fig. 2 to 4 are enlarged views and projection views of a nasal prong body and a patient interface mount, respectively. The nasal oxygen cannula includes a fitting 6 for connection to a host of an ventilation therapy device, such as a ventilator host, a nasal prong body 3 having a nasal prong structure for insertion into a patient's nostril, a gas conduit 4 connected between the nasal prong body 3 and the fitting 6, and a patient interface mount 1 provided by the present utility model, as will be described in detail later, wherein the gas conduit 4 may have an adjustable slide 5 thereon for restraining the gas conduit 4. Since the nasal prongs main body 3 is generally straddled in a patient's person (nasal prongs are inserted into the nasal cavity) and are respectively connected with gas conduits 4 at both ends thereof, respectively, the nasal oxygen cannula can be provided with a pair of patient interface fixtures 1 symmetrically arranged so as to be respectively fitted to cheeks on both sides of the nose, achieving a firm fixation. Wherein the nasal prongs main body 3 may have formed thereon an interface device patch 2 in the form of a sheet for connection to the patient interface mount 1.
As shown in fig. 5 to 8, the patient interface fixture patch 1 of the present utility model includes a user-side patch 11 and an interface-side patch 12, wherein one side of the user-side patch 11 is capable of being glued to a skin surface of a user, such as a face of a patient, and the interface-side patch 12 is glued to the other side of the user-side patch 11 and allows the ventilation interface device body or the monitoring element to be peelably glued to the side of the interface-side patch 12 facing away from the user-side patch 11 to secure the ventilation interface device body or the monitoring element in a predetermined wearing position. When the ventilation interface device is a nasal prong as previously described, it is in a predetermined wearing position, i.e. a wearing position in which the nasal prong body 3 spans the patient's person and the nasal plug is inserted into the nasal cavity.
Thus, the patient interface fixing patch 1 can be adhered to the skin surface of a user through the user terminal patch 11, and then the ventilation interface device body or other monitoring elements are adhered to the interface terminal patch 12 to fix the ventilation interface device body or other monitoring elements at a preset wearing position, so that a user can adjust the wearing position as required, repeatedly wear and take off the patient interface fixing patch, and the tearing pain caused by repeatedly taking off the patient skin surface is reduced. In particular, by providing the interface patch 12 to allow the ventilation interface device body or the monitoring element to be adhered thereto with a tear-off manner, the interface patch 12 may have a higher flexibility than a connection medium such as a velcro patch, thereby enabling the patient interface mount 1 of the present utility model to better conform to movements such as facial expression changes of a patient, and thus effectively improving wearing comfort.
According to the above, the user side patch 11 and the interface side patch 12 and the adhesive for bonding thereon can be selected to have a high flexibility so as to have a better compliance. The user-side patch 11 may be provided with an adhesive layer on one side thereof for adhering to the skin surface of a user, and may be formed as a single-sided adhesive patch, the adhesive layer on the one side thereof being for adhering to the skin surface of the user, and a non-adhesive surface on the other side thereof to which the interface-side patch 12 is adhered. The interface end patch 12 may be provided as a double-sided adhesive patch, one side of which is adhered to the non-adhesive face of the user end patch 11, and the other side of which may be adhered with a ventilation interface device body or a monitoring element, thereby fixing the ventilation interface device body or the monitoring element to the face of the user or the like. The user terminal patch 11 may be made of silica gel, and the adhesive layer thereon may also be made of a non-damaged type in contact with skin, so as to avoid damage caused by long-time sticking to the skin surface. In an alternative embodiment, both sides of the user-side patch 11 may be provided with an adhesive layer, respectively, and formed as a double-sided adhesive patch, while the interface-side patch 12 is still provided as a double-sided adhesive patch or provided in the form of an adhesive face only on the side facing away from the user-side patch 11, the convenience of operation may be improved by providing an appropriate adhesive force between the ventilation interface device body or monitoring element and the interface-side patch 12 and between the interface-side patch 12 and the user-side patch 11, which will be described later.
It will be appreciated that the patient interface mount 1 of the present utility model may be pre-attached to the ventilation interface device body or monitoring element in an unused state or stored separately from the ventilation interface device body or monitoring element, for which purpose the adhesive side of the user side patch 11 and the side of the interface side patch 12 facing away from the user side patch 11 may be covered with release paper. Since the interface patch 12 is only used as a connection medium between the ventilation interface device body or the monitoring element and the user patch 11, it may be configured as a glue material layer without a base material, such as a multi-time adhesive, so as to ensure the compliance of the patient interface fixture patch 1 to the patient's face as much as possible.
In the case where the user-side patch 11 is provided as a single-sided adhesive patch, the user can press the user-side patch 11 to avoid being peeled off together when removing the ventilation interface device body or the monitoring element. Depending on the use scenario, the patient interface mount 1 of the present utility model may have a variety of different shapes, such as rectangular, circular, oval, polygonal, fan-shaped, etc. Alternatively, the patient interface mount 1 as a whole or the user-side patch 11 may be a large sheet, and the user may cut the sheet according to a desired shape, size, area, or the like.
In order to facilitate the attachment and detachment operations, as shown in fig. 6 and 8, in the patient interface mount 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the size of the interface patch 12 in any extension direction is smaller than the size of the user patch 11 in the corresponding extension direction, so that the interface patch 12 can be prevented from adhering directly to the skin of the patient, and the interface patch 12 can be easily adhered to the user patch 11 with a strong adhesive force. Furthermore, the outer edge of the user terminal patch 11 surrounds the outer edge of the interface terminal patch 12, i.e. the interface terminal patch 12 falls completely within the outline of the user terminal patch 11, and when the ventilation interface device body or the monitoring element is adhered and removed, the user terminal patch 11 can be pressed on any side, so as to ensure good use convenience.
As previously described, a vent interface body or monitoring element, such as a nasal prong body 3, may have an interface patch 2 for being removably adhered to an interface patch 12, thereby facilitating interfacing with the interface patch 12 over a relatively large area through the interface patch 2. As shown in fig. 5, 7 and 8, in a preferred embodiment, a side surface of the interface device patch 2 for adhering to the interface end patch 12 is set to be larger than the area of the interface end patch 12, and may be further smaller than the area of the user end patch 11. Thus, when bonding and removing the vent interface body or monitoring element, an operator's (e.g., a healthcare worker's) finger can easily enter the space between the interface patch 2 and the user-side patch 11 that is not bonded to the interface patch 12, facilitating not only the application of appropriate pressure to the user-side patch 11, but also the avoidance of the finger being adhered to the interface patch 12 or in direct contact with the patient's skin. To facilitate handling of the interface patch 2 when removing the vent interface body or monitoring element, the surface of the interface patch 2 on one side for adhering to the interface patch 12 need only be larger in at least one direction than the dimension of the interface patch 12 in that direction.
In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the user side patch 11 and the interface side patch 12 are arranged such that the adhesion between the ventilation interface device body or the monitoring element and the interface side patch 12 is smaller than the adhesion between the interface side patch 12 and the user side patch 11 and the adhesion between the user side patch 11 and the skin of the user, which can be achieved by selecting an adhesive and an adhesive material of appropriate materials. Thus, when removing the ventilation interface device body or the monitoring element, the operator can just pull the interface device patch 2 as described above away from the patient without additionally applying a pressing force to the user-side patch 11, and can hold the user-side patch 11 and the interface-side patch 12 in their attached positions. With this arrangement, the problem of discomfort caused by the face of the patient being pressed during operation or adhesion to the user-side patch 11 due to contact therewith can be avoided, and the convenience of use and patient comfort are significantly improved.
As shown in connection with fig. 5 to 8, when the patient normally uses the nasal oxygen cannula, the adhesive fixation is achieved by the patient interface fixation patch 1. This patient interface fixation subsides 1 is the film form, when having guaranteed to paste firmly, greatly reduced structural connection's space for the operation is simpler, the cost is lower, has improved patient's compliance and has worn the comfort level greatly. When the patient needs to temporarily remove the nasal oxygen cannula (e.g., eat, check, etc.), the interface device patch 2 may be torn off from the outermost edge of the patch to separate it from the patient interface fixture 1, while the patient interface fixture 1 remains on the patient's face, as shown in fig. 6. Compared with the connecting structures such as the magic tape, the patient interface fixing tape 1 is simple in structure and small in tearing force, and discomfort caused by pressing the face of a patient during tearing is greatly reduced. When the patient uses the nasal oxygen cannula again, the interface device patch 2 may be attached again to the interface end patch 12 of the patient interface mount 1 to be secured to the patient's face. The interface patch 12 is configured to allow the ventilation interface device body or the monitoring element to be repeatedly adhered for not less than 10 times, for example, when the interface patch 2 is made of plastic elastomer such as silica gel, TPE, TPU, etc., it can be repeatedly adhered with the interface patch 12 for up to about 50 times.
On the basis of this, another aspect of the present utility model provides a ventilation interface device for a ventilation therapy apparatus, such as the nasal oxygen cannula, nasal mask, oral nasal mask, nasal pillow, full face mask, etc., comprising a ventilation interface device body for supplying air to a user and the above-mentioned patient interface mount 1 for securing the ventilation interface device body in a predetermined wearing position, the patient interface mount 1 being capable of being used for securing different patient interfaces to the skin of the face or other locations.
In addition, the utility model also provides a ventilation interface device comprising the ventilation therapeutic equipment host and connected to the ventilation therapeutic equipment host.
