DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION
Il presente trovato si riferisce ad una struttura di sondino di broncoaspirazione per la rimozione delle secrezioni dei tubi tracheali e dal tratto superiore delle vie respiratorie. The present invention relates to a bronchoaspiration probe structure for the removal of secretions from the tracheal tubes and from the upper respiratory tract.
Come è noto, i sondini di broncoaspirazione vengono utilizzati per rimuovere le secrezioni dai tubi tracheali e dal tratto superiore delle vie respiratorie, quali trachea e bronchi, e vengono normalmente a contatto con i tessuti delle vie respiratorie. As is known, bronchoaspiration tubes are used to remove secretions from the tracheal tubes and from the upper respiratory tract, such as the trachea and bronchi, and are normally in contact with the tissues of the respiratory tract.
Data la sensibilità e delicatezza dei tessuti con cui viene a contatto il sondino di broncoaspirazione, è necessario che il sondino sia realizzato con un elemento tubolare relativamente morbido, così da ridurre al minimo il rischio di traumi; allo stesso tempo però un sondino rigido facilita le operazioni di pulizia e comunque aumenta la manovrabilità. Given the sensitivity and delicacy of the tissues with which the bronchoaspiration tube comes into contact, it is necessary that the tube be made with a relatively soft tubular element, so as to minimize the risk of trauma; at the same time, however, a rigid tube facilitates cleaning operations and in any case increases maneuverability.
Sul mercato sono attualmente presenti sondini di diverse durezze, in quanto ogni produttore ha effettuato una scelta di materiale tenendo conto dei costi e dei benefici e vantaggi che tale materiale offriva. On the market there are currently probes of different hardnesses, as each manufacturer has made a choice of material taking into account the costs and benefits and advantages that this material offered.
E' quindi evidente che la scelta del materiale che viene attualmente utilizzato è frutto di un compromesso fra le due opposte esigenze, cioè la necessità di avere un elemento tubolare relativamente rigido per avere una agevole manovrabilità e la necessità di avere invece un elemento tubolare morbido per impedire traumi per il contatto con i tessuti interessati. It is therefore evident that the choice of the material that is currently used is the result of a compromise between the two opposite needs, i.e. the need to have a relatively rigid tubular element for easy maneuverability and the need to have a soft tubular element instead for prevent trauma due to contact with the affected tissues.
Il compito che si propone il trovato è appunto quello di risolvere il problema sopra esposto, realizzando un sondino di broncoaspirazione che dia la possibilità di ottimizzare le prestazioni sia nei confronti della manovrabilità che della atraumaticità. The aim of the invention is precisely that of solving the aforementioned problem, realizing a bronchoaspiration tube which gives the possibility of optimizing performance both in terms of maneuverability and atraumaticity.
Nell'ambito del compito sopra esposto uno scopo particolare del trovato è quello di realizzare un sondino di broncoaspirazione che, pur abbinando in sè i vantaggi tipici dei materiali rigidi e dei materiali morbidi, risulti realizzabile con tecnologie di produzione in continuo che sono necessarie per il contenimento dei costi produttivi. Within the scope of the above aim, a particular object of the invention is to provide a bronchoaspiration tube which, while combining in itself the typical advantages of rigid and soft materials, is achievable with continuous production technologies which are necessary for the containment of production costs.
Nell'ambito del compito sopra esposto uno scopo particolare del trovato è quello di realizzare un sondino di broncoaspirazione che, per le sue peculiari caratteristiche realizzative, sia in grado di dare le più ampie garanzie di affidabilità e sicurezza nell'uso. Within the scope of the above aim, a particular object of the invention is to provide a bronchoaspiration tube which, due to its particular constructive characteristics, is capable of giving the greatest guarantees of reliability and safety in use.
Nono ultimo scopo del presente trovato è quello di realizzare un sondino di broncoaspirazione che possa essere realizzato con estrusione in continuo e che presenti dei costi del tutto analoghi ai costi dei prodotti tradizionali che non presentano però gli stessi vantaggi funzionali. The ninth last object of the present invention is to provide a bronchoaspiration tube which can be produced with continuous extrusion and which has costs which are entirely similar to the costs of traditional products which do not however have the same functional advantages.
Il compito sopra esposto nonché gli scopi accennati ed altri che meglio appariranno in seguito, vengono raggiunti da una struttura di sondino di broncoaspirazione per la rimozione delle secrezioni dai tubi tracheali e dal tratto superiore delle vie respiratorie, secondo il trovato, caratterizzata dal fatto di comprendere un elemento tubolare realizzato con almeno due porzioni o zone con durezza diversa. The aforementioned aim as well as the aforementioned and other aims and others which will appear better later, are achieved by a bronchoaspiration tube structure for the removal of secretions from the tracheal tubes and from the upper respiratory tract, according to the invention, characterized in that it comprises a tubular element made with at least two portions or zones with different hardness.
Ulteriori caratteristiche e vantaggi risulteranno maggiormente dalla descrizione dettagliata di una struttura di sondino di broncoaspirazione, per la rimozione delle secrezioni dai tubi tracheali dal tratto superiore delle vie respiratorie, illustrato a titolo indicativo e non limitativo con l'ausilio degli uniti disegni in cui: Further features and advantages will emerge more clearly from the detailed description of a bronchoaspiration tube structure, for the removal of secretions from the tracheal tubes from the upper respiratory tract, illustrated as an indication and not limitative with the aid of the accompanying drawings in which:
la figura 1 rappresenta l'elemento tubolare della struttura di sondino, secondo il trovato, visto frontalmente; Figure 1 is a front view of the tubular element of the tube structure according to the invention;
la figura 2 rappresenta l'elemento tubolare in sezione, con evidenziata l'estremità in materiale morbido. Figure 2 is a sectional view of the tubular element, with the soft material end highlighted.
Con riferimento alle citate figure, la struttura di sondino di broncoaspirazione per la rimozione delle secrezioni dai tubi tracheali e dal tratto superiore delle vie respiratorie risulta costituita da un elemento tubolare, indicato globalmente con il numero di riferimento 1, che viene realizzato mediante estrusione continua di due diversi materiali così da poter ottenere sull'elemento tubolare una prima porzione o zona 2 realizzata con materiale relativamente morbido ed una seconda porzione nella zona 3 realizzata con materiale relativamente rigido. With reference to the aforementioned figures, the bronchoaspiration probe structure for the removal of secretions from the tracheal tubes and the upper respiratory tract is constituted by a tubular element, globally indicated with the reference number 1, which is made by continuous extrusion of two different materials so as to be able to obtain on the tubular element a first portion or zone 2 made of relatively soft material and a second portion in zone 3 made of relatively rigid material.
Vantaggiosamente la porzione 2, ottenuta con materiale relativamente morbido, corrisponde alla estremità di penetrazione per cui il sondino, pur essendo rigido, in quanto la seconda porzione è rigida e quindi consente una facile manovrabilità ed una maggiore facilità nell'operazione di pulizia, presenta l'estremità realizzata con materiale morbido per cui è garantita l'assoluta atraumaticità nei confronti dei vari tessuti. Advantageously, the portion 2, obtained with relatively soft material, corresponds to the penetration end so that the probe, although rigid, since the second portion is rigid and therefore allows easy maneuverability and greater ease in the cleaning operation, has the extremity made with soft material for which the absolute atraumaticity towards the various fabrics is guaranteed.
L'elemento tubolare viene ottenuto mediante estrusione in continuo di due materiali differenti, tra loro chimicamente compatibili, per cui si ha la possibilità di realizzare l'elemento tubolare con la zona più morbida in corrispondenza della estremità, senza però per questo modificare sostanzialmente le tecniche produttive. The tubular element is obtained by continuous extrusion of two different materials, chemically compatible with each other, so that it is possible to make the tubular element with the softer area at the end, without however substantially modifying the techniques. productive.
Da quanto sopra illustrato si vede quindi come il trovato raggiunga gli scopi proposti ed in particolare si sottolinea il fatto che l'abbinamento di zone con diversa durezza, ottenuto da una estrusione con due materiali, dà la possibilità di realizzare un sondino di broncoaspirazione che risulta avere delle caratteristiche notevolmente migliorate rispetto alle soluzioni della tecnica nota, che necessariamente dovevano ricorrere a delle scelte di compromesso. From what has been illustrated above, it can therefore be seen that the invention achieves the intended aim and objects and in particular it is emphasized that the combination of areas with different hardness, obtained by an extrusion with two materials, makes it possible to produce a bronchoaspiration probe which is have considerably improved characteristics with respect to the solutions of the known art, which necessarily had to resort to compromise choices.
In pratica i materiali impiegati, purché compatibili con l'uso specifico, nonché le dimensioni e le forme contingenti potranno essere qualsiasi a seconda delle esigenze. In practice, the materials employed, so long as they are compatible with the specific use, as well as the contingent shapes and dimensions, may be any according to requirements.
