Postoperative upper limb edema recovery device for breast surgery

Abstract

A postoperative upper limb edema recovery device for breast surgery comprises a large support and a working portion. The walking wheels are mounted at the lower end of the large support, so that medical staff can push the device to move. The height of the electric cylinder at the lower end of the large support can be adjusted, and the device can adapt to the heights of different sickbeds conveniently. The working portion is fixedly mounted on the upper end face of the large support. When the device is used, the medical staff pushes the device to the front of the sickbed, the large support is located at the lower end of the sickbed, the working portion is located at the upper end of the sickbed, the upper body of a patient is located at the lower end of the working portion, and therefore convenient working of the device can be achieved. The device first reduces the swelling of one arm of the patient, then, the device is manually rotated, and the other arm of the patient is subjected to detumescence treatment. According to the postoperative upper limb edema recovery device for the breast surgery, a cold and hot compress, movement and massage detumescence method is adopted, labor is saved, meanwhile, the working efficiency is improved, the pain of the patient is relieved in time, and burden is relieved for family members.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical technology, in particular to an upper limb edema recovery device after breast surgery. Background technique [0002] Lymphedema refers to the hyperplasia of subcutaneous fibrous connective tissue, fat sclerosis, and thickening of limbs after repeated infection of soft tissue fluid caused by blocked lymphatic return in certain parts of the body; the skin becomes thicker, rougher, and tough like elephant skin in the later stage. Also known as "elephantia". Breast cancer patients are prone to lymphedema due to the obstruction of lymphatic and blood return in the upper limbs after surgery. Postoperative lymphedema is usually accompanied by swelling, heaviness, pain and mobility impairment of the affected upper limbs, so it is very important to reduce swelling after surgery. Most of the current physical detumescence is for the family members of the patient to do massage for the patient, which is time-consuming ...

Problems solved by technology

Breast cancer patients are prone to lymphedema due to the obstruction of lymphatic and blood return in the upper limbs after surgery. Postoperative lymphedema is usually accompanied by swelling, heaviness, pain and mobility impairment of the affected upper limbs, so it is very important to reduce swelling after surgery. Most of the current physical detumescence is for the family members of the patient to do massage for the patient, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the effect is slow. Therefore, a device for recovering upper limb edema after breast surgery is needed, which uses cold and hot compresses, exercise and massage for detumescence. , to save manpower at the same time, improve work efficiency, reduce the pain of patients in time, and reduce the burden on family members
