Abstract:
Catheter related infection is the most common complication of central venous catheter, which pathogen mainly originate from the pipe joint and the skin around puncture site. How to prevent catheter infection is an important issue in clinical nursing. The utility model disclosed a "disposable nursing applicator-pocket of indwelling central venous catheter", which is mainly used for the fixation and the protection. The main structure consists of two parts, one is medical applicator to protect the skin around puncture site, and the other is gauze pocket to protect the catheter external connector. When in use, the catheter connector is fitted into the pocket, and then the applicator is applied to cover the puncture point of the skin. Integrated design of medical applicator and gauze pocket was designed to realize double functions of fixation and protection. The disposable nursing applicator-pocket is made of medical absorbent gauze (outer layer) and non-woven fabric (inner layer), which has the characteristics of comfortable, breathable, dust filtered, bacteria filtered, waterproof, antiperspirant and anti-pollution. The utility model has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, simple operation, effective protection, easy realization and popularization.
