Description

  The present invention relates to a cannula fixing tool, and more particularly to a fixing tool that is mounted on a head and fixes the position of a cannula.

  In the oxygen inhalation therapy, when a cannula is used, the end of the cannula is connected to an oxygen cylinder, and an inhalation port branched from the cannula is inserted into a nostril. At that time, in order to maintain the suction port inserted in the nostril, it has been conventionally possible to fix the cannula by sticking it to the cheek of the face with medical tape or hooking the cannula to both ears Has been done.

  However, in the method of attaching and fixing with a medical tape, when taking a bath or sweating, the adhesive strength of the tape is weakened so that it cannot be easily removed, or the vicinity of the place where the tape is applied cannot be washed. Further, during sleep, when the cannula is pulled by turning over or the like, the tape is easily peeled off and the cannula is detached. Furthermore, for people who are prone to skin troubles, there is a problem that the skin to which the tape is attached is worn. Especially in infants, there are many acts of unintentionally rubbing the face with their hands, and therefore the tape is frequently peeled off, so the number of times that the tape is replaced is inevitably increased, and the number of skin troubles increases. There was a problem such as.

  Further, according to the method of fixing the position by hooking the cannula on both ears, the cannula is not completely fixed, so that the cannula is detached by turning over or the like during sleep. In addition, children, particularly infants, may not be able to hook well because their ears are too small, and eventually a fixing tool such as a tape is required, resulting in the same problem as described above. In addition, there was a problem that the cannula rubbed behind the ears and made me feel painful.

  And, in common with both the method of sticking the tape and the method of hooking it to the ear, the cannula whose position is fixed is in a state of hanging on the front of the body so as to connect the end to the oxygen cylinder. In infants, the cannula is often removed by themselves. In addition, when nursing or holding a baby, there is a problem that the cannula gets in the way of the caregiver or pulls unconsciously.

In order to solve such a problem, various inventions using glasses such as fixing a cannula to a frame of glasses have been proposed. However, when wearing glasses for a long time, the glasses naturally deviate, and in particular, deviate downward in the face. Accordingly, the suction port inserted into the nostril also comes off. In addition, it is harsh to the user to wear glasses even during sleep. In addition, if you are used to wearing glasses, you may feel uncomfortable for those who are not, and especially for infants, the nose is still low, so it is quite difficult to fix with glasses on. . And again, the frame hits the back of the ear and rubs, which can still be painful. Furthermore, there is no change that the cannula is hanging from the front of the body.
