Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical obstetric products technology, and more specifically, to a cold compress device for perineal tears in obstetric patients. Background Technology

[0002] During natural childbirth, the perineum often tears to varying degrees due to the pressure and traction of the fetus passing through the birth canal. Some mothers may require an episiotomy to assist delivery. Post-operatively, the perineal wound is prone to discomfort such as local tissue edema, pain, and inflammation, which not only affects the mother's postpartum recovery but also reduces her quality of life. To alleviate these discomforts, cold compress therapy is commonly used clinically. The low temperature stimulates the constriction of local blood vessels, reducing tissue exudation, thereby reducing edema, relieving pain, and promoting wound healing.

[0003] However, the commonly used method of perineal cold compress has many shortcomings and is difficult to meet the actual needs of postpartum care: Firstly, ordinary ice packs are too cold and lack an effective cushioning structure. When they come into direct contact with the perineal skin, they can easily cause local frostbite. In particular, the perineal skin is more sensitive and fragile after childbirth, and frostbite may cause secondary damage. Secondly, traditional cold compresses release cold energy quickly but last for a short time (usually only 1 to 2 hours), making it difficult to maintain a stable low-temperature environment. This makes it impossible to meet the continuous care needs during the acute edema period 24 to 72 hours postpartum. Furthermore, cold compresses do not fit well with the irregular contours of the perineum, which can easily lead to local missed applications and affect the treatment effect. Third, most existing cold compress devices use hard shells or non-ergonomic designs, which can easily cause pressure on the perineal wound when worn, and the device is prone to shifting when moving, further aggravating the discomfort of the postpartum woman. Fourth, most cold compress devices are disposable products, resulting in high long-term costs and environmental burden after disposal, which is inconsistent with the current trend of green and environmentally friendly development in the medical field. Therefore, a cold compress device for perineal tears in obstetric patients is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems raised in the existing background technology. To achieve the above-mentioned objective, this invention provides the following technical solution: a postpartum perineal tear cold compress device, comprising a diaper and an ice block body. The inner layer of the diaper is provided with a silicone shell, and the crotch area of ​​the diaper is provided with a zipper. Unzipping the zipper allows the ice block body to be placed inside the diaper. The upper layer of the ice block body is provided with an ice block isolation layer, and the inner surface of the ice block isolation layer is provided with an antifreeze pad. The lower part of the ice block body is provided with a wrapping layer, and the lower surface of the wrapping layer is provided with a soft cotton layer. The inner layer of the soft cotton layer is provided with a fiber layer, and the fiber layer is filled with fiber filling yarn. The side of the fiber layer is provided with a leak-proof partition, and the leak-proof partition is provided with a spacer. The side of the spacer is provided with a sealing side, and the bottom of the spacer is provided with an anti-backflow layer.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an absorbent paper layer is provided on the upper part of the ice block isolation layer, and an absorbent soft sponge layer is provided inside the absorbent paper layer.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the water-absorbing soft sponge layer includes sponge water-absorbing particles and a sponge outer surface layer. The water-absorbing soft sponge layer is provided with the sponge water-absorbing particles inside, and the sponge outer surface layer is provided on the outer surface of the water-absorbing soft sponge layer.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the outer surface of the absorbent soft sponge layer is provided with a soft cotton outer layer, which is attached to the outer surface of the sponge.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, it also includes a storage box, in which the diaper is placed when not in use for storage, and the storage box is a sealed structure.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, it also includes an ice cube container, wherein the ice cube body is placed in the ice cube container in an unused or waiting-to-freeze state, and the inner wall of the ice cube container is provided with a heat insulation layer.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the silicone shell is made of medical-grade silicone material, and the shape of the silicone shell is adapted to the anatomical structure of the human perineum, and is U-shaped or saddle-shaped.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the antifreeze pad is made of flexible heat insulation material with a thickness of 1-3mm. The antifreeze pad completely covers the inner surface of the ice block isolation layer and is used to prevent the low temperature of the ice block body from being directly conducted to the skin.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the anti-backflow layer is made of a waterproof and breathable membrane material, and the area of ​​the anti-backflow layer is not less than the area of ​​the diaphragm, so as to prevent condensate from back-permeating to the skin side.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the fiber filling yarn is medical-grade degreased cotton fiber or bamboo fiber, and the fiber filling yarn is evenly distributed in the fiber layer with a filling density of 0.1 to 0.3 g / cm³, which is used to enhance the softness and cushioning of the soft cotton layer.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention achieves safe cold compress through a multi-layer protective structure. The ice block isolation layer on the upper layer of the ice block body and the antifreeze pad on the inner surface can block the direct conduction of low temperature to the skin. At the same time, the buffering effect of the diaper and the isolation effect of the silicone shell form a double protection, effectively avoiding frostbite of the skin caused by low temperature stimulation, especially suitable for the sensitive and fragile perineal skin after childbirth. The silicone shell of this invention adopts a U-shaped or saddle-shaped design, which strictly conforms to the anatomical structure of the human perineum. Combined with the soft material of diapers, it does not cause pressure when worn. Furthermore, the medical-grade fiber filling yarn evenly distributed in the fiber layer can enhance the softness and cushioning of the cotton layer. The soft cotton outer layer further improves the comfort of skin contact. At the same time, the device is highly stable after being worn and does not easily shift during activities, which greatly improves the user experience for postpartum women. The ice block body of this invention can provide a continuous and stable cooling effect, and through the buffering effect of the ice block isolation layer, the cooling effect can be slowly and evenly transmitted to the perineal wound for precise coverage. Compared with traditional cold compresses, the cooling effect has a longer release time, which can meet the needs of multiple and long-term care during the acute edema period after childbirth, effectively constricting local blood vessels, reducing exudation, and quickly relieving edema and pain symptoms. The core component of the device of this invention, the silicone shell, can be reused after being disinfected with medical disinfectant or % alcohol, eliminating the need for frequent replacement and reducing long-term usage costs; the ice cube body can be prepared and replaced by the user; diapers are conventional consumables; the overall structure takes into account both practicality and economy, while reducing the amount of disposable products, which is in line with the concept of green and environmentally friendly medical care. The condensation generated during the cold compress process of this invention can be quickly absorbed by the absorbent paper layer and the soft absorbent sponge layer. The leak-proof side panels, the sealed side panels, and the anti-backflow layer can prevent condensation from leaking or seeping back, keeping the perineal area dry and avoiding wound infection caused by a damp environment, thus providing a clean environment for wound healing.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0019] Example 1: A postpartum perineal tear cold compress device for obstetric use includes a diaper 1 and an ice block body 3. The inner layer of the diaper 1 is provided with a silicone shell 4. The crotch area of ​​the diaper 1 is provided with a zipper 5. Unzipping the zipper 5 allows the ice block body 3 to be placed inside the diaper 1. The upper layer of the ice block body 3 is provided with an ice block isolation layer 6. The inner surface of the ice block isolation layer 6 is provided with an antifreeze pad 601. The lower part of the ice block body 3 is provided with a wrapping layer 8. The lower surface of the wrapping layer 8 is provided with a soft cotton layer 801. The inner layer of the soft cotton layer 801 is provided with a fiber layer 802. The fiber layer 802 is filled with fiber filling yarn 803. The side of the fiber layer 802 is provided with a leak-proof partition 9. The leak-proof partition 9 is provided with a spacer 901. The side of the spacer 901 is provided with a sealing side 902. The bottom of the spacer 901 is provided with an anti-backflow layer 10.

[0020] An absorbent paper layer 11 is provided on the upper part of the ice block isolation layer 6, and an absorbent soft sponge layer 12 is provided inside the absorbent paper layer 11. The absorbent soft sponge layer 12 includes sponge absorbent particles 1201 and a sponge outer surface layer 1202. The absorbent soft sponge layer 12 has sponge absorbent particles 1201 inside and sponge outer surface layer 1202 on its outer surface.

[0021] The outer surface of the absorbent soft sponge layer 12 is provided with a soft cotton outer layer 13, which is attached to the outer surface of the sponge layer 1202. When not in use, the diaper 1 is stored inside the storage box 101, which is a sealed structure. When not in use or awaiting freezing, the ice cube body 3 is placed inside the ice cube container 2, whose inner wall is provided with an insulation layer. The silicone shell 4 is made of medical-grade silicone, and its shape is adapted to the anatomical structure of the human perineum, being U-shaped or saddle-shaped.

[0022] The antifreeze pad 601 is made of flexible heat-insulating material with a thickness of 1-3mm. It completely covers the inner surface of the ice block isolation layer 6, preventing the low temperature of the ice block body 3 from being directly conducted to the skin. The anti-backflow layer 10 is made of waterproof and breathable membrane material, with an area not less than that of the pad 901, preventing condensation from seeping back to the skin. The fiber filling yarn 803 is made of medical-grade degreased cotton fiber or bamboo fiber, evenly distributed within the fiber layer 802 with a filling density of 0.1-0.3g / cm³, enhancing the softness and cushioning of the cotton layer 801.

[0023] Working principle: First, take out the unused diaper 1 from the sealed storage box 101, and at the same time take out the prepared ice block body 3 from the ice block container 2 with the inner wall insulation layer.

[0024] Unzip 5 at the crotch of diaper 1, insert the ice cube body 3 into diaper 1, and then close zip 5 to complete the initial assembly of the ice cube body 3 and diaper 1. At this time, the pre-set silicone shell 4 inside diaper 1 is U-shaped or saddle-shaped, which adapts to the anatomical structure of the human perineum and provides initial positioning for the ice cube body 3, preventing it from shifting significantly during subsequent use.

[0025] The cold energy released by the ice block body 3 first acts on the ice block isolation layer 6 on its upper layer. The antifreeze pad 601 flexible heat insulation material on the inner surface of the ice block isolation layer 6 has a thickness of 1-3mm. It completely covers the inner surface of the isolation layer and will block the low temperature from being directly conducted to the skin. At the same time, the cold energy slowly penetrates downward through the ice block isolation layer 6.

[0026] The cold energy continues to be transferred downwards to the wrapping layer 8 at the bottom of the ice block body 3. The soft cotton layer 801 on the lower surface of the wrapping layer 8 further buffers the cold energy. In the fiber layer 802 inside the soft cotton layer 801, the uniformly distributed medical-grade degreased cotton fiber or bamboo fiber filling yarn 803 with a filling density of 0.1 to 0.3 g / cm³ can enhance the softness and cushioning of the soft cotton layer 801, ensuring that the mother does not feel pressure when wearing it and improving comfort.

[0027] During the cold compress process, some of the condensation will be absorbed by the absorbent paper layer 11 on the upper part of the ice block isolation layer 6. The absorbent soft sponge layer 12 inside the absorbent paper layer 11 will further enhance the absorbency. The sponge absorbent particles 1201 inside the absorbent soft sponge layer 12 can quickly absorb the condensation, while the outer sponge outer layer 1202 on the outer surface can prevent the sponge particles from falling off. At the same time, the soft cotton outer layer 13 attached to the outside of the sponge outer layer 1202 can further improve the comfort when in contact with the skin.

[0028] The leak-proof partition 9 on the side of the fiber layer 802 prevents condensate from leaking to both sides of the device. The septum 901 inside the leak-proof partition 9 and the sealing side 902 on the side of the septum 901 can enhance the side sealing effect. At the same time, the backflow prevention layer 10 below the septum 901 is made of waterproof and breathable membrane material with an area not less than that of the septum 901, which can prevent the absorbed condensate from seeping back to the skin side, keeping the area dry and reducing the risk of infection.

[0029] The U-shaped or saddle-shaped structure of the silicone shell 4 conforms to ergonomic design. When the postpartum woman wears the device, it can closely fit the contour of the perineum, ensuring that the cold released by the ice block body 3 accurately covers the perineal tear or episiotomy wound, achieving uniform cold compress, effectively constricting local blood vessels, reducing exudation, and relieving edema and pain. At the same time, the structural characteristics of the silicone shell 4, combined with the wearing method of the diaper 1, can ensure the stability of the device and prevent the device from shifting due to movement during the cold compress, ensuring the continuous effectiveness of the cold compress.

[0030] After a single cold compress, unzip 5 to remove the ice cube body 3, which can be discarded or remade and placed in the ice cube container 2. Replace with a new diaper 1. The silicone shell 4 can be reused after sterilization, which reduces usage costs and meets environmental protection requirements. At the same time, the whole operation process is simple and can be completed by the mother herself, improving the convenience of care.

[0031] Working process: Preparation stage before use: Parts removal: Open the sealed storage box 101, take out the unused diaper 1, check whether the zipper 5 in the crotch of the diaper 1 is intact and opens and closes smoothly; at the same time, open the ice block container 2 with the inner wall with the heat preservation layer, take out the pre-prepared and frozen ice block body 3, and confirm that the ice block body 3 is intact and has no melting or damage.

[0032] Device inspection: Check whether the silicone shell 4 of the inner layer of diaper 1 (U-shaped or saddle-shaped) fits the inner wall of diaper 1 without displacement or deformation; check whether the ice block isolation layer 6 on the upper layer of ice block body 3 and the antifreeze pad 601 on the inner surface are intact, without damage or detachment, to ensure that the subsequent protective function is normal.

[0033] Device assembly stage: Ice cube placement: Pinch the crotch of diaper 1 with your hands and gently pull open the zipper 5 to create a space inside diaper 1 that can accommodate the ice cube body 3. Then, place the ice cube body 3 smoothly into the inside of diaper 1, ensuring that the ice cube body 3 fits snugly against the inner wall of the silicone shell 4 and avoids any obvious gaps.

[0034] Zipper closure: After confirming that the ice cube body 3 is placed in the correct position, slowly pull the zipper 5 to close the crotch of the diaper 1. During the process, be careful to avoid the zipper 5 getting caught on the fabric of the diaper 1 or the ice cube isolation layer 6. Ensure that the zipper 5 is completely closed to prevent the ice cube body 3 from shifting during the cold compress process.

[0035] Device wearing and cold compress stage: Device wearing: The mother wears the assembled device on her body in the same way as a regular diaper, adjusts the position of the device so that the silicone shell 4 fits the perineal anatomical structure and is aligned with the perineal tear or episiotomy wound, ensures accurate coverage of the cold compress area, and at the same time ensures that the device is worn with a proper fit, without being too tight or too loose and easily shifting.

[0036] Cold compress process: After wearing, the ice block body 3 begins to release cold energy. After being buffered by the ice block isolation layer 6 and the antifreeze pad 601, the cold energy is slowly transferred to the perineal wound to achieve gentle cold compress. During this period, the fiber filling yarn 803 in the soft cotton layer 801 and the fiber layer 802 will maintain wearing comfort. The absorbent paper layer 11, the absorbent soft sponge layer 12 containing sponge absorbent particles 1201, the outer sponge layer 1202 and the soft cotton outer layer 13 will absorb the condensation water generated by the cold compress. The leak-proof side 9, the pad 901, the sealing side 902 and the anti-backflow layer 10 will prevent condensation water from leaking and keep the local area dry.

[0037] Post-cold compress treatment stage: Device removal: After the cold compress has been applied for the recommended duration of 15 to 20 minutes, the mother should remove the device from her body gently to avoid pulling on the perineal wound.

[0038] Parts separation and replacement: Unzip the crotch of diaper 1, remove the ice cube body 3. If you need to make ice cubes again, you can put it back into the ice cube container 2. Then, dispose of the used diaper 1 in accordance with medical waste regulations and replace it with a new diaper 1 for the next use.

[0039] Silicone shell disinfection and storage: Remove the silicone shell 4 from the inner layer of the used diaper 1, and thoroughly disinfect it with medical disinfectant or 75% alcohol. After disinfection, let it air dry. When reassembling, put it back into the inner layer of the new diaper 1, or put it in a clean container for storage, waiting for subsequent use.
