Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to surgical pad technology, specifically to a super-absorbent skin pad for preventing fluid leakage during cesarean section. Background Technology

[0002] During a cesarean section, a medical gauze pad is placed around the surgical incision, and towel clamps are used to fix the gauze pad to the edge of the incision. The main purpose of this operation is to use the gauze pad to form a sterile isolation barrier around the incision, reducing the entry of contaminants such as microorganisms, skin flakes, and hair from the skin surface into the deep surgical area and abdominal cavity. At the same time, it absorbs fluids such as blood and tissue fluid from the incision, keeping the operating area within the doctor's line of sight clear and dry. By pulling and fixing it with towel clamps, the surgical field is exposed, which facilitates subsequent incision of the peritoneum and intra-abdominal operations.

[0003] During the delivery of the fetus, the presence of metal forceps poses a risk of scratching. Furthermore, when a transverse or breech cesarean section is performed, the amniotic fluid cannot be drained too much before the fetus is delivered. Therefore, the fetus will face a large outflow of amniotic fluid during delivery, which will soak the drapes or the surgeon's surgical gown, increasing the risk of infection. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a super absorbent protective pad for preventing fluid leakage during cesarean section, in order to solve the problems of traditional pads, which pose a risk of scratching due to the presence of metal forceps, and when performing transverse or breech cesarean sections, the amniotic fluid cannot be drained too much before delivery, and the large amount of amniotic fluid flowing out during delivery will soak the drapes or the surgeon's surgical gown, increasing the risk of infection.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a super-absorbent protective pad for preventing fluid leakage during cesarean section, comprising:

[0006] The protective mechanism includes a pad body and an edge anti-seepage seal fixedly disposed on the periphery of the pad body. The pad body includes a skin-friendly antibacterial diversion layer, a water-locking core layer, and a breathable anti-backflow covering layer.

The two transverse easy-tear extension wings are located at opposite ends of the central straight cut, which penetrates the main body of the pad.

[0008] Furthermore, the central straight cut and the transverse easy-tear extension wing are in an I-shape.

[0009] Furthermore, the water-locking core layer is composed of a superabsorbent polymer and fluff pulp.

[0010] Furthermore, the skin-friendly antibacterial diversion layer is a hydrophilic nonwoven fabric impregnated with a medical antibacterial agent.

[0011] Furthermore, the breathable anti-backflow covering layer is a polypropylene composite nonwoven fabric.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] This invention provides a super absorbent skin pad for preventing liquid leakage during cesarean section, comprising: a protective mechanism, the protective mechanism including a pad body 1 and an edge anti-leakage seal 3 fixedly disposed on the sides of the pad body 1, the pad body 1 including a skin-friendly antibacterial diversion layer 7, a water-locking core layer 8 and a breathable anti-backflow covering layer 9.

[0029] The operating mechanism includes a cutting assembly 2 disposed on the pad body 1. The cutting assembly 2 includes a central straight cut 4 and two transverse easy-tear extension wings 5. The two transverse easy-tear extension wings 5 ​​are located at both ends of the central straight cut 4, and the central straight cut 4 penetrates the pad body 1.

[0030] Specifically, the central straight cut 4 and the transverse easy-tear extension wing 5 are in an I-shape.

[0031] Specifically, the water-locking core layer 8 is composed of superabsorbent polymer and fluff pulp. During surgery, when faced with a large amount of irrigation fluid, blood or exudate, this material will not leak like ordinary cotton pads. Even when pressure is applied, the liquid is difficult to squeeze out again, which has the effect of preventing backflow and can effectively keep the wound and surrounding skin dry.

[0032] Specifically, the skin-friendly antibacterial diversion layer 7 is a hydrophilic nonwoven fabric impregnated with a medical antibacterial agent.

[0033] Specifically, the breathable and anti-backflow covering layer 9 is made of polypropylene composite nonwoven fabric.

[0034] Specifically, the main body of the pad 1 is a rectangular structure, with a length of 50cm and a width of 40cm.

[0035] Specifically, the length of the central straight incision 4 is 10cm to 15cm.

[0036] Specifically, a positioning adhesive patch 10 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the main body 1 of the pad. The positioning adhesive patch 10 can be attached to the patient's skin or the operating table surface to achieve a fixing effect.

[0037] Specifically, both the central straight incision 4 and the transverse easy-tear extension wing 5 are equipped with a color-changing exudate indicator strip 6. By setting the color-changing exudate indicator strip 6, it can come into contact with bloodstains and amniotic fluid and show different colors, which can provide an intuitive indication of the surgical exudate situation.

[0038] Working Principle: This invention uses a single, integrally molded pad body 1, eliminating the need for assembling multiple pads. It precisely covers the pubic bone, transverse incision, and surrounding areas prone to contamination. Its stable placement is achieved through its own area, weight, and natural fit to the abdominal contour, eliminating the need for external instruments such as towel clamps, clips, or tape for fixation. Furthermore, an I-shaped incision component 2 is incorporated into the pad body 1, accommodating flexible needs for initial surgical incision access and intraoperative incision extension. The pad body 1 used in this device is divided into... The system consists of three layers: a skin-friendly antibacterial diversion layer 7, a water-locking core layer 8, and a breathable anti-backflow covering layer 9. The skin-friendly antibacterial diversion layer 7 is in contact with the patient's skin and is made of soft, highly hydrophilic medical non-woven fabric. It is treated with a medical-grade safe antibacterial agent, enabling rapid liquid diversion and active antibacterial protection at the contact surface. The water-locking core layer 8 is layered on top of the skin-friendly antibacterial diversion layer 7. It is a high-density composite core made of molecular water-absorbing resin and fluff pulp. After absorbing liquid, the core can quickly gel the liquid to achieve permanent locking.

[0039] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
