ARTIFICIAL NOSE FITTING TOOL OF CANNULA

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily attach and detach an artificial nose to/from a cannula, in which the cannula is easily managed even when the artificial nose is detached therefrom and is inconspicuous in a state in which the artificial nose is attached to the cannula.SOLUTION: An artificial nose fitting tool 2 of a cannula 1 comprises a band 3 to be worn to a neck, for fixing the cannula 1 attached to a trachea. A connection belt 5 extends from the cannula part of the band 3, and holds an artificial nose 4 to be attached to the cannula 1 so as to be withdrawn freely, with a pair of holding parts 21 of the connection belt 5 and a positioning hole which is formed therebetween. Since the artificial nose 4 is wrapped with the connection belt 5, a connector of the artificial nose 4 is moved to a position facing a connector 8 of the cannula 1, for fitting. Thereby, the connection belt 5 wrapping the artificial nose, hides the most of the artificial nose 4 and the cannula 1 to offer good appearance. If there is a decorative object such as a pattern or a bow tie on a face which is exposed to a front side where the connection belt 5 is wound, aesthetic property is enhanced.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】カニューレに対して人工鼻の着脱が容易であると共に人工鼻を外しても管理が容易であり、人工鼻をカニューレに装着した状態で目立たないようにした。【解決手段】カニューレ１の人工鼻取り付け具２は、気管に取り付けたカニューレ１を固定するために首に装着するバンド３を有している。バンド３のカニューレ部分から連結帯５が延びていて、カニューレ１に取り付ける人工鼻４を連結帯５の一対の保持部２１とその間に形成した位置決め穴とで離脱可能に保持する。人工鼻４を連結帯５で包み込むことで人工鼻４のコネクタをカニューレ１のコネクタ８に対向する位置に持ち来たし、嵌合する。すると、巻いた連結帯５によって人工鼻４とカニューレ１の大部分が隠れて美観が良い。連結帯５を巻いた表側に露出する面に模様や蝶ネクタイ等の装飾物があれば審美性が高い。【選択図】図１
