Description

Anti-pressure fixing structure of oxygen supply respirator

The invention relates to a pressure-proof structure of a respirator that can keep the airway and the skin of the patient's cheeks in a suspended state.

At present, inpatients in general wards or intensive care units are prone to acute dyspnea or difficulty breathing due to factors such as disease, fear, or tension. Therefore, facial medical devices such as nasal catheters or oxygen masks are required. Clinically, it is often faced with uneven pressure applied by medical devices worn too tightly or with loose mask wings, and skin friction caused by repeated picking and wearing, causing compression, redness and skin on the cheeks, nose bridge, nose wings or ears. Injuries such as broken skin gradually form Medical Device Related Pressure Injury (MDRPI), causing patient pain and inconvenience in wearing. In addition, there are also a small number of patients who have face masks that cause the medical device mask to slide down and the anti-stress dressing to stick unevenly, causing problems such as shedding.

Therefore, there is the new patent case No. M554810 "Oxygen Mask Protector" announced on February 1, 107 in the Republic of China, which discloses that the first adhesive member and the second Adhesive parts, when the two ends of the body are bent in opposite directions, the first adhesive part and the second adhesive part can be overlapped and overlapped, and the protective sleeve can be wrapped around the elastic band of the oxygen mask, so that the elastic band is in direct contact with Reduce the area of the patient's ears and the area where the elastic band touches the patient's cheeks, to avoid the long-term tension of the elastic band and the skin caused by the pressure to break the skin, and improve the comfort of the patient wearing an oxygen mask.

However, although the previous case of this patent can overcome the discomfort of the patient's ears during loading, the improvement effect on both sides of the patient's cheek is quite limited, and it is still easy to cause skin breakage or pain on both sides of the cheek or nose.

Therefore, there is a new patent case No. M531844 "Anti-pressure sore oxygen nasal catheter" announced on November 11, 105 in the Republic of China, which discloses: The anti-pressure sore oxygen nasal catheter includes a nasal cannula, left and right positioning units , And the rear connector; the nasal cannula includes a lateral catheter, a nasal prong, and an air duct that are in communication with each other; the left positioning unit includes a part of the left tube body that is flexible and is correspondingly connected to the lateral catheter at one end, and a movable The left cushion body positioned outside the left tube; the right positioning unit includes a part of the right tube body that is flexible and one end is correspondingly connected to the lateral catheter, and a right pad body movably positioned outside the right tube body; the rear connector includes a belt And the first and second connection fasteners, the first connection fastener can be detachably connected with the left positioning unit, and the second connection fastener can be detachably connected with the right positioning unit.

Although the previous case of this patent can improve the occurrence of pressure injuries on both sides of the patient's cheeks, the material of the left and right cushions is made of styrene-butadiene rubber sponge. The contact with the cheek skin is not good, and it is also easy to cause discomfort Feeling, easy to pain after long-term use. Moreover, the left and right cushion bodies are too large and the structure is more complicated, which not only increases the difficulty of operation, but also affects the appearance, so it is not ideal for use.

Therefore, in view of the current facial medical devices such as nasal catheters and oxygen masks, they have the above-mentioned disadvantages when worn and used. Therefore, the present invention provides a pressure-proof fixing structure for an oxygen supply respirator, which includes: a respirator body, the respirator body is provided with at least one air pipe; at least one coupling member is fixed on the air pipe, and the coupling member is external There is a first joint part on the surface; at least one fixing part is made of an artificial skin dressing or a silicone material, the fixing part has a first side and a second side, the second side is combined with a A second coupling portion, the first coupling portion is coupled to the second coupling portion, so that the air pipe is maintained in a suspended state.

The above respirator system is a nasal catheter.

The above-mentioned coupling piece is arranged in a single piece, and the coupling piece is folded and fixed on the gas delivery pipe in half.

The invention is also a pressure-proof fixing structure for an oxygen supply respirator, which includes: a respirator body provided with at least one wing piece; at least one coupling piece fixed on the wing piece, and the coupling piece is on an outer surface There is a first joint part; at least one fixing part, which is made of an artificial skin dressing or a silicone material, the fixing part has a first side and a second side, the second side is combined with a first part Two coupling parts, the first coupling part is coupled to the second coupling part.

The above respirator system is an oxygen mask.

The above-mentioned coupling piece is arranged in a piece shape, and the coupling piece is wound and fixed on the wing in half.

At least one spacer is fixed on the inner peripheral surface of the respirator body. The spacer is made of polyurethane foam dressing.

The first coupling part is a female adhesive buckle structure, and the second coupling part is a male adhesive buckle structure.

The fixing member is designed as a sheet, and the first surface is sticky.

A non-woven paper adhesive layer is bonded between the second surface and the second bonding portion.

The above technical features have the following advantages:

1. It can keep the airway of the nasal catheter and the skin on both sides of the patient's cheeks without contact with the skin on both sides of the cheeks, and when used in oxygen masks, no elastic bands are needed to avoid the airway or The elastic band contacts the skin and generates pressure, and avoids pressure sores on the skin on both sides of the patient's cheeks.

2. The body of the respirator can be prevented from slipping off the patient's face.

3. The non-woven paper adhesive layer can be used to prevent the pipeline from slipping due to facial oil secretion or saliva affecting the viscosity.

4. The spacer on the inner peripheral surface of the respirator body is made of polyurethane foam dressing, which can maintain close contact with the patient's face, thereby reducing the face and the inner peripheral surface of the respirator body Pressure and friction.

5. The binding piece is designed as a piece, and the fixing piece is designed as a sheet, so that the overall volume is reduced and the weight is light, which does not cause too much weight burden for the patient. Moreover, the structure is simple, the use is simpler and easier, and the convenience is extremely high.
