Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a hemostatic pad for compressing the mucous membrane under the tongue. Background Technology

[0002] Lingual mucosal urethroplasty is a medical procedure that uses the tongue's mucosa to replace the urethra. During the surgery, a specific size (generally 2-2.5 cm wide and 6-9 cm long) of mucosal tissue is harvested from the base and two sides of the patient's tongue. This tongue mucosa possesses favorable tissue characteristics, such as being thin and richly blood-supplied, making it suitable for replacing damaged or missing urethral tissue. After harvesting the tongue mucosa, appropriate surgical suturing is performed, and routine pressure hemostasis is applied for 4-6 hours. Post-operatively, the patient requires a period of recovery and care. However, with tongue movement, the wound may bleed again, requiring re-application for hemostasis. If pressure hemostasis is ineffective, re-suturing may be necessary.

[0003] Currently, in the postoperative care stage, the traditional method of compression hemostasis usually involves applying gauze. However, when applying gauze under the tongue, the patient must keep their mouth open at all times, which prevents the bleeding site from being adequately compressed, affecting the hemostatic effect. Furthermore, the large piece of gauze inserted under the tongue does not conform to the physiological curvature of the tongue, resulting in poor patient comfort during compression. Moreover, the blood seeping from the mouth and the continuous secretion of saliva force the patient to swallow, and swallowing large amounts of blood-mixed saliva can cause abdominal discomfort. In addition, the wound on the tongue cannot be kept dry, making it prone to secondary infection, increasing the risk of postoperative infection and hindering the patient's postoperative recovery. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides a hemostatic pad for compressing the mucosa under the tongue.

[0005] The technical problem solved by this utility model can be achieved by the following technical solution:

[0006] A hemostatic pad for compressing the sublingual mucosa, comprising:

[0007] The main body of the hemostatic pad is attached to the patient's tongue.

[0008] A compression component protrudes from the hemostatic pad body and corresponds to the area of ​​the tongue mucosa taken under the patient's tongue.

[0009] A fixation component is disposed on both sides of the hemostatic pad body, and the fixation component is operably fixed to the tongue from both sides of the patient's tongue.

[0015] Preferably, the compression component consists of multiple protrusions evenly distributed on the hemostatic pad body.

[0016] Preferably, the fixing component is made of an elastic shaping material.

[0017] Preferably, the fixing component includes:

[0018] Two plastic layers, one of which is disposed on one side of the hemostatic pad body, and the other is disposed on the opposite side of the hemostatic pad body;

[0019] Iron core, which is placed in each of the two plastic layers.

[0020] Preferably, the fixing component includes an airbag.

[0021] The advantages or beneficial effects of this utility model's technical solution are as follows:

[0022] This invention features a hemostatic pad that conforms to the patient's sublingual mucosa and a pressure component that protrudes from it. This allows for better alignment with the sublingual mucosa area, ensuring a more natural fit to the physiological curvature of the tongue. Compared to traditional gauze compression, this method provides better pressure on the bleeding site, improving hemostasis, reducing the risk of secondary infection, and promoting better postoperative recovery. Furthermore, the fixation component secures the tongue from both sides, avoiding the discomfort caused by the need to keep the mouth open during traditional sublingual gauze packing and the inability of the gauze to conform to the physiological curvature.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0029] See Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, based on the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, a hemostatic pad for compressing the tongue submucosa is provided, comprising:

[0030] The main body of the hemostatic pad 1 is attached to the patient's tongue.

[0031] Compression component 2 protrudes from the hemostatic pad body 1 and corresponds to the area of ​​tongue mucosa taken under the patient's tongue.

[0032] Fixing component 3 is disposed on both sides of the hemostatic pad body 1, and the fixing component 3 can operably fix the tongue from both sides of the patient's tongue.

[0033] Specifically, in the traditional method of applying gauze to stop bleeding, the patient needs to keep their mouth open when the gauze is placed under their tongue, which can lead to insufficient pressure on the bleeding site and affect the hemostatic effect. In addition, the large gauze does not conform to the physiological curvature of the tongue and the patient is forced to swallow blood-mixed saliva, which reduces the patient's comfort. Furthermore, it is difficult to keep the tongue wound dry, which can easily lead to secondary infection, thereby increasing the risk of postoperative infection and hindering postoperative recovery.

[0034] The hemostatic pad provided in this embodiment is specifically designed for compressing the sublingual mucosa. Specifically, the hemostatic pad includes a main body 1 that conforms to the patient's sublingual area, and a protruding compression component 2 formed on the main body 1. The compression component 2 corresponds to the area under the patient's tongue where the tongue mucosa was harvested, and can apply pressure to the area where the tongue mucosa was harvested.

[0035] The fixing component 3 is located on both sides of the hemostatic pad body 1. It can be operated from both sides of the patient's tongue to wrap around the tongue and fix it in place, which can prevent movement during the compression process and further improve the stability and effect of the compression.

[0036] More specifically, gauze can be placed on the side of the hemostatic pad body 1 or the fixing component 3 facing the tongue. The gauze corresponds to the area or site where the tongue mucosa was taken, and this gauze is much smaller than the gauze used for traditional pressure hemostasis. When the gauze becomes soaked with bleeding from the area where the tongue mucosa was taken, it can be replaced with gauze containing hemostatic drugs. After replacement, the mouth can be closed to form pressure hemostasis.

[0037] Generally, the area or site of the tongue mucosa harvested is usually the side or floor of the tongue. The specific length of the mucosal area harvested depends on the actual length of the stenosis in the patient, in order to meet the treatment needs of different patients.

[0038] More specifically, the main body 1 of the hemostatic pad is irregularly shaped to match the space between the tongue and the jaw. This irregular shape can better adapt to the complex physiological structure under the patient's tongue, thereby improving the effect and comfort of compression.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the hemostatic pad body 1 has a hollow interior 11, and the hollow interior 11 is filled with absorbent material 12.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, by providing absorbent material 12 inside the hemostatic pad body 1, the absorbent material 12 can absorb the blood seeping from the oral cavity and the continuously secreted saliva, thereby reducing the situation where the patient is forced to swallow and alleviating the abdominal discomfort caused by the patient swallowing a large amount of saliva mixed with blood.

[0041] Meanwhile, the absorption material 12 reduces the accumulation of saliva and blood at the wound site, better keeping the tongue wound dry, thereby reducing the possibility of secondary infection, which is beneficial to the patient's postoperative recovery and improves the overall effect and safety of the surgery.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the absorbent material 12 is a flexible foam material, such as FlexFoam, which has good absorbency and conformability, and can better meet the needs of hemostasis.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the hemostatic pad body 1 is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic and polyester resin board.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the hemostatic pad body 1 is made of polyvinyl chloride plastic and polyester resin board, with the outermost layer being an antibacterial layer 4. Polyvinyl chloride plastic has a certain strength and stability, while polyester resin board has good flexibility, enabling the hemostatic pad body 1 to have a certain support force, adapt to the complex shape under the tongue, and improve the comfort and stability of use.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the outermost layer of the hemostatic pad body 1 is an antibacterial layer 4, and the antibacterial layer 4 is provided with a liquid inlet hole 5, which is connected to the absorbent material 12 filled in the hollow space 11 inside the hemostatic pad body 1.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the outermost layer of the polyvinyl chloride plastic and polyester resin board is an antibacterial layer 4. This antibacterial layer 4 comes into direct contact with the tongue wound and can prevent bacterial growth when the tongue mucosa area is compressed, thus avoiding infection of the affected area from affecting the treatment effect.

[0047] The antibacterial layer 4 has multiple liquid inlet holes 5, which are evenly distributed. The hemostatic pad is filled with Flex Foam liquid material, which can quickly absorb blood seeping from the tongue wound and saliva in the mouth through the liquid inlet holes 5, keeping the wound dry, thereby reducing the possibility of secondary infection, which is beneficial to the patient's postoperative recovery and improves the overall effect and safety of the operation.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the hemostatic pad body 1 is made by 3D printing.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, 3D printing technology can be used to personalize the hemostatic pad according to the individual patient's sublingual shape, ensuring a perfect fit between the hemostatic pad body 1 and the patient's sublingual area, improving hemostasis and patient comfort. Using a personalized customization approach to manufacture the hemostatic pad better meets the needs of different patients.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the compression component 2 consists of a plurality of protrusions evenly distributed on the hemostatic pad body 1.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, a protrusion is formed on the hemostatic pad body 1 as a compression component 2. The protrusion is aligned with the area where the tongue mucosa is taken to achieve compression hemostasis.

[0052] The protrusions include multiple protrusions that are evenly distributed to ensure that pressure can be applied evenly during the compression hemostasis process, so that the hemostatic pad body 1 can fully cover the area that needs to be compressed, thereby improving the effect of compression hemostasis.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing component 3 is made of an elastic shaping material. It can be bent freely while also maintaining its shape.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fixing component 3 is made of an elastic shaping material, which ensures that the fixing component 3 can be bent at will to fit the patient's tongue; at the same time, it has good shaping ability, and after bending and adjustment, it can maintain the shaped shape and will not easily deform or return to its original state. This ensures that the fixing component 3 can be stably kept in the required position and shape when fixing the patient's tongue, providing reliable fixing support for the hemostasis process and preventing the hemostatic pad from moving or shaking during treatment.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing component 3 includes:

[0056] Two plastic layers 31, one of which is disposed on one side of the hemostatic pad body 1, and the other is disposed on the opposite side of the hemostatic pad body 1.

[0057] Iron core 32 is placed in two plastic layers 31 respectively.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, two plastic layers 31 are connected to both sides of the hemostatic pad body 1, and an iron core 32 is inserted into the plastic layer 31 to ensure that the fixing component 3 can be bent at will, while also having good shaping ability.

[0059] More specifically, the plastic layer 31 is a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) layer.

[0060] In this embodiment, the plastic layer 31 is in sheet form, and may also be referred to as a plastic sheet below.

[0061] The plastic layer 31 is formed by injection molding. During the injection molding process, the iron core 32 is placed inside the plastic layer 31 to achieve a tight bond between the plastic layer 31 and the iron core 32. The iron core 32 is placed in the middle of the injection-molded layer, forming an integral structure with the hemostatic pad body 1 and the plastic layer 31, thereby giving the fixing component 3 good physical properties and stability.

[0062] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing component 3 is provided with an airbag 33.

[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment, an airbag 33 is provided inside the plastic layer 31, and an inflation port is reserved on the surface of the plastic layer 31. By inflating the airbag 33, the pressure of the fixing component 3 on the tongue is adjusted to provide a fixing effect.

[0064] At the same time, the inflated air bladder 33 can press down on the tongue surface. At this time, the mucosa under the tongue fits more tightly with the hemostatic pad body 1, which plays a role in compression hemostasis.

[0065] More specifically, an inflation port is provided on the plastic layer 31. Using a suitable inflation tool, such as a small air pump, gas is injected into the airbag 33 through the inflation port. As more and more gas is injected into the airbag 33, the internal air pressure gradually increases, thereby increasing the downward pressure exerted by the airbag 33, which compresses the bleeding site on the tongue surface, achieving the effect of compression hemostasis while fixing the hemostatic pad.

[0066] Once the airbag 33 is fully inflated, disconnect the inflator from the hemostatic pad to avoid causing unnecessary foreign body sensation or discomfort to the patient due to the continuous connection of the inflator, thus improving the patient's user experience.

[0067] Of course, it is important to note that the pressure should not be excessive. If the balloon 33 is overinflated, causing the pressure applied to the bleeding site to exceed the reasonable range, it will cause unnecessary damage to surrounding tissues, affect the hemostasis effect, and may even lead to other adverse consequences. Therefore, during inflation, observe the degree of inflation of the balloon 33 and the overall condition of the sublingual hemostatic pad. Based on individual tolerance, ensure that the amount of inflation is moderate, ensuring that it achieves the ideal pressure hemostasis effect without causing unnecessary pressure or damage to the sublingual tissues due to overinflation.

[0068] In the preferred embodiment described above, the present invention provides a 3D-printed hemostatic pad specifically for compressing the sublingual mucosa. The hemostatic pad body 1 is made using 3D printing technology to perfectly fit the patient's sublingual mucosa, and a protruding compression component 2 is formed on the hemostatic pad body 1 according to the area where the patient's sublingual mucosa is taken.

[0069] The main body 1 of the hemostatic pad is connected to two plastic sheets (PVC) on both sides, with an iron core 32 inserted inside the plastic sheets. The iron core 32 is placed in the middle of the plastic sheets through an injection molding process, ensuring that the sides can not only be bent freely, but also be shaped. There is an air bladder 33 on the inner surface of the plastic sheets.

[0070] The main body 1 of the hemostatic pad is an irregularly shaped hollow pad 11, made of PVC plastic and polyester resin board. The outermost layer is an antibacterial layer 4, which comes into direct contact with the wound and prevents bacterial growth and infection when pressed. The antibacterial layer 4 has liquid inlet holes 5. The middle of the hemostatic pad is filled with Flex Foam liquid material, which can quickly absorb bleeding from the wound and saliva from the mouth through the liquid inlet holes 5, keeping the wound dry.

[0071] During the use of the hemostatic pad, first place the hemostatic pad under the patient's tongue, then bend the plastic pieces on both sides of the hemostatic pad to make it bend and shape to wrap around the sides of the tongue and fix the tongue in place.

[0072] Furthermore, the air bladder 33 inside the plastic sheet can be inflated. The inflated air bladder 33 can press down on the tongue surface. At this time, the mucosa under the tongue fits more tightly with the hemostatic pad body 1, which plays a role in compression hemostasis.

[0073] The advantages or beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: This utility model, through the hemostatic pad body that fits with the patient's tongue and the pressure component that forms a protrusion on it, can be aligned with the area of ​​the tongue mucosa under the patient's tongue, so that it can better fit the physiological curvature of the tongue. Compared with the traditional gauze compression method, it can better compress the bleeding site, thereby improving the hemostatic effect of compression, reducing the possibility of secondary infection, and benefiting the patient's postoperative recovery.

[0074] Meanwhile, the fixation component can fix the tongue from both sides, avoiding the discomfort caused by the need to keep the mouth open and the inability of the gauze to conform to the physiological curvature when using traditional sublingual gauze. This greatly increases the patient's comfort during the postoperative compression hemostasis process and helps the patient cooperate with subsequent care.

[0075] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made using the content of this specification and illustrations should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
