DE202018001996U1 - Holding band for the fixation of tracheostoma cannulas - Google Patents

Abstract

Tether for the fixation of tracheostoma cannulas characterized in that the tether of a perforated shell (6) with a soft, elastic, open-cell foam (12) and by the extension (13) of the perforated shell (6) has a protective length (15 ) Protects the skin from velor band (3) and velcro (2).

Description

The invention relates to a tether for the fixation of tracheal cannulas, which are placed in the tracheostoma of the patient.

The strap is individually adjustable by Velcro fasteners for each patient, so that a good comfort.

As a protection for the skin, the Velcro closures are covered by a protective length in an extension of the flexible sheath.

The strap consists of a skin-friendly foam strip, which is covered with a perforated textile cover, whereby a skin ventilation is made possible, and equipped with Velcro straps at the end.

The respective cannula is locked by threading the narrow Velcro straps in the two openings of the tracheal cannula flange and by connecting with the velcro velor and Velcro in Tracheostoam.

The strap is placed around the neck of the patient, adjusted depending on the neck size and releasably connected to the cannula flange.

In practical application different straps come into play.

These straps are eg equipped with hooks at both ends, which are locked in the cannula flange. The hooks are difficult to thread, they are often bent and create pressure sores on the neck. A description of flexible Velcro connections is in the GB 20 2004 012 644.3 listed.

Furthermore, retaining straps are known which fix the tracheal cannula with the aid of Velcro straps in the flange openings. The damage to the flange openings due to the sharp-edged Velcro strips causes the flange eyelets to rip. The tracheostomy tube becomes unusable. Furthermore, in the GB 20 2004 012 644.3 a fixation of tracheostomy cannulas described.

Combinations with hooks and velcro are offered. Oeser destruction and pressure sores on the neck have a negative effect here.

In general, it has been shown that the straps used have deficiencies in terms of comfort and security for the patient.

The use of sharp-edged Velcro strips often leads to the destruction of the flange openings. This happens especially when using silicone tracheostomy tubes. In addition, the hard and sharp-edged Velcro strip on the skin on the neck causes wounds and injuries.

Accordingly, the invention has for its object to develop a tether that can easily in the openings of the tracheal cannula flange and unthread, causes no destruction of Trachealkanülen flange openings, provides good comfort on the patient neck and avoids wounds and injuries to the neck ,

This object is achieved in that the tether at both ends receives a narrow Einfädelungszunge for threading and placement in the tracheostomy tube flange opening, which is glued with a short, even narrower Velcro for pre-threading and bonding and that by the extension of the perforated textile cover to under the Velcro skin injuries are avoided.

Pre-threading with the narrow Velcro strip will not damage the flange opening.

The Velcro tape is glued or welded flat with the retaining tongue. The gluing creates a very shallow threading tongue that allows effortless threading and unthreading of the tether tab from the tracheostomy tube flange opening. There is no curved edge that would hamper threading.

The tether tab is placed in the tracheal cannula flange opening. As a result, the risk of damage to the flange openings is greatly reduced and pressure sores on the neck are avoided by the relining of the Velcro tape with the perforated textile cover.

The invention is explained in more detail by the accompanying drawings.

In the 1 is the tether for the tracheal cannula flange ( 4 ) in function. The perforated shell ( 6 ), provided with perforations ( 11 ), with an open-pore, soft foam ( 12 ), which allows air circulation from the skin to the outside.

In the flange eye ( 1 ) is the Velcro tape ( 2 ), which with the velor band ( 3 ) by an adhesive connection ( 8th ) connected is.

The velor band ( 3 ) is connected to ( 14 ), preferably thread seam, with the envelope ( 6 ) connected.

The extension ( 13 ) from the cover material lies behind the Velcro connection and thus protects the skin from this hard, sharp-edged connection.

In the 2 be the tether with the perforated textile sheath ( 6 ) and the extension ( 13 ) of the perforated shell ( 6 ) with the protection length ( 15 ).

The extension ( 13 ) lies under the velor band ( 3 ) and the Velcro tape ( 2 ) on the skin. This protects the skin on the neck against sharp edges or hard materials of the Velcro connection.

Velor band ( 3 ) and perforated shell ( 6 ) are connected by means of a connection ( 14 ), preferably thread seam, connected.

Velor band ( 3 ) and Velcro tape ( 2 ) are by adhesive bond ( 8th ), so that a Einfädelungskeil ( 7 ) for better threading into the flange eye ( 1 ).

The 3 shows the formation of the extension ( 13 ) as a double shell ( 6 ) through a connection ( 14 ) with the velor band ( 3 ) connected is.

The protection length ( 15 ) lies under the velor band ( 3 ) and under the Velcro tape ( 2 ) on the skin of the neck.

Skin irritation and injuries are avoided.

The 4 shows the formation of the protection length ( 15 ) from a four-fold, perforated shell ( 6 ).

The fourfold, perforated shell ( 6 ) receives a visually better rounding ( 17 ) and is through the connection ( 14 ) stronger.

The velor band ( 3 ) is by means of compound ( 14 ), preferably connected by a thread seam.
