Abstract:
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is one of the main renal replacement therapy methods for patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease, and peritoneal dialysis belt is a key auxiliary device. However, there are some problems in the existing PD technology, such as the separation of heating system and dialysate system, the inability to continuously heat dialysate and the single function of peritoneal dialysis belt. In order to solve the above problems, the staff of Shanghai Geriatric Medical Center designed an intelligent temperature-controlled peritoneal dialysis belt and obtained the National Utility Model Patent of China (patent number: ZL 2023 2 1815961.9). The intelligent temperature-controlled peritoneal dialysis belt is composed of a double-layer fixed belt, an intelligent temperature control system (including temperature control structure and intelligent control system) and other auxiliary structures. The peritoneal dialysis tube can penetrate into the dissection from the entry of the inner surface of the fixed belt and pass through the exit of the outer surface. The double-layer fixed belt ensures the stable fixation of the dialysis tube. The two ends of the fixing belt are designed with magic stickers to adjust the tightness of the fixing belt to adapt to people with different waist circumferences. The interlayer is equipped with an intelligent temperature control system, which can continuously heat the dialysate through an electric heating plate to maintain a temperature close to the body temperature. Through the display screen and controller on the intelligent control system, medical staff can be allowed to monitor and adjust the temperature, pressure and flow parameters of the dialysate in real time. In addition, a cloth with a pulling chain is designed on the inner surface of the fixed belt, and the cloth is opened to facilitate the medical staff to wear the peritoneal dialysis tube in the temperature control structure or the restraint belt. The intelligent temperature-controlled peritoneal dialysis belt enhances the effectiveness of PD, saves PD resources, improves the convenience of PD, is suitable for family and hospital use, can effectively improve the quality of life of patients with chronic renal failure, and is suitable for clinical promotion.
