Description

Concealed nasogastric tube

This creation is about a nasogastric tube, especially a medical nasogastric tube that helps patients ingest nutrients.

Clinically, nasogastric tubes are often used in patients with insufficient food intake, coma, stroke, esophageal diseases, etc., which can be fed to the patient's stomach through a nasogastric tube through regular and quantitative feeding. nutrition.

Referring to Fig. 1, a conventional nasogastric tube 9 is a hollow tubular body, one end of which is penetrated into the stomach S via the nasal cavity N of the patient, and the other end of the nasogastric tube 9 is left. The nasal cavity N is external, and the nasogastric tube 9 at the end has a fixed cover 91 attached to one end of the nasogastric tube 9 when the nasogastric tube 9 does not need to input nutrients into the stomach of the patient The fixed cover 91 can close the nasogastric tube 9 when it is in the middle.

Since the conventional nasogastric tube 9 cannot prevent the end having the fixed cap 91 from retracting into the nasal cavity N, the caregiver needs to expose a part of the conventional nasogastric tube 9 to the outside of the nasal cavity N. And the bare nasogastric tube 9 is adhered to the nasal skin of the patient P using a tape T to fix the nasogastric tube 9. However, the exposed nasogastric tube 9 is similar in appearance to the "proboscis", and the exposed nasogastric tube 9 and the adhesive tape T adhered to the skin may seriously affect the appearance of the user's face, causing the patient's appearance. Self-confidence is low, making patients ashamed to see people. In addition, the exposed nasogastric tube 9 is also prone to accidental pulling due to the patient's limb movement, causing the displacement of the nasogastric tube 9 to form a safety concern, resulting in limited patient mobility and reduced willingness to go out.

In view of this, the conventional nasogastric tube does have the need to improve.

In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a hidden nasogastric tube which can be hidden in the nasal cavity of a patient when the nasogastric tube is not used for feeding.
