A special brace for preventing webbed scars after axillary burns healed

Abstract

A special brace for preventing webbed scars after the healing of armpit burns, comprising an L-shaped brace body, an adjustment pad is arranged in a groove at the corner of the brace body; the adjustment pad is arranged at the upper end of an adjustment screw; the brace body It is erected on the upper limb and the side of the trunk, the upper limb is placed in the horizontal support arm, the vertical support arm is supported on the side of the trunk, the fastening belt is fixed on the upper limb and the trunk, the upper limb is fully abducted, and the functional position is maintained; Rotate the adjustment bolt, Push the adjusting pad upward into the armpit to make the adjusting pad generate pressure on the armpit, and adjust the size of the local pressure by changing the rotation length of the bolt according to the pressure value of the sensor. In turn, it can effectively prevent skin contraction, control scar hyperplasia, and the dysfunction caused by scar hyperplasia. It has the characteristics of definite functional position, reliable fixation, obvious local pressurization effect and adjustable pressure.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular relates to a special brace for preventing webbed scars after axillary burns heal. Background technique [0002] Scarring is a common sequelae after burns. When the scar grows beyond a certain limit, various complications will occur, such as the destruction of the shape and the dysfunction of the function. Webbed scars are often formed after armpit burns, resulting in upper limb movement disorders, seriously affecting normal study and life, and requiring multiple plastic surgeries, which are relatively difficult. Local compression is the most effective way to prevent local scarring. In the past, when preventing axillary burn scars, pressure garments and local pressure pads were often used, combined with L-shaped braces to maintain their functional positions. However, there are still serious deficiencies in this method: although the L-shaped brace can temporarily mainta...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, there are still serious deficiencies in this method: although the L-shaped brace can temporarily maintain the functional position of the limbs, it is difficult for the pressure garment and the local pressure pad to exert local pressure on the armpit, and cannot control the growth of the scar, which will eventually lead to webbing. The formation of scars seriously affects the appearance and brings great difficulty to the later plastic surgery
