Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical nursing appliances, and in particular to a device for preventing and monitoring lymphedema after breast cancer surgery. Background Art

[0002] Upper limb lymphedema after breast cancer surgery is a lymphatic reflux disorder caused by surgical damage to the lymphatic system. It is a long-term and lifelong complication with risks after breast cancer surgery. Studies have reported that the probability of upper limb lymphedema in patients after axillary dissection for breast cancer is as high as 54.9%. Upper limb lymphedema after breast cancer surgery not only causes swelling and thickening of the patient's upper limbs, and a feeling of heaviness, weakness, and pain in the limbs, but also greatly increases the probability of lymphangiitis in the affected limbs as the edema worsens. Lymphedema not only affects the patient's body image, but also increases the risk of infection in the patient's affected limbs, resulting in a serious quality of life for the patient. Lymphedema after breast cancer surgery cannot be cured, and early prevention and early treatment are very important for the management of lymphedema.

[0003] After searching the patent number CN118557152A, a prevention and monitoring device for lymphedema after breast cancer surgery is disclosed, which belongs to the technical field of medical care instruments, and includes a symmetrically arranged upper arc plate and a lower arc plate, the upper end of the upper arc plate is fixedly connected to a box shell, and a double-head winding mechanism is provided in the box shell, two symmetrically arranged adjustment straps are fixedly wrapped around both ends of the double-head winding mechanism, and the two ends of the two adjustment straps respectively pass through the two ends of the box shell and are fixedly connected to the two ends of the lower arc plate one by one, and the outer side wall of the adjustment strap is provided with scale lines.

[0004] Compared with the prior art, the patent with patent number CN118557152A can accurately compare the numerical changes of upper limb edema by setting a pressure sensor and an adjustment strap with scale lines, making the measurement more scientific and accurate, and improving the preventive monitoring effect.

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, a breast cancer postoperative lymphedema prevention and monitoring tool proposed by the present invention comprises a first fastening ring 1 and a second fastening ring 2, a first connecting plate 3 is arranged on one side of the second fastening ring 2, the first connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected to a square block 10, the square block 10 is fixed on one side of a connecting tube 5, a first gear 12 is slidably connected inside the square block 10, a first motor 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the first gear 12, a curved gear ring 15 is meshedly connected to one side of the first gear 12, a bottom plate 14 is arranged at the bottom of the curved gear ring 15, and the bottom plate 14 is fixed above the clamping ring 13;

[0034] The clamping ring 13 is rotatably connected to the connecting tube 5, and a clamping mechanism is provided on the side of the connecting tube 5 close to the clamping ring 13, and the clamping mechanism is used for detecting the upper limbs. An adsorption block 27 is provided above the connecting tube 5, and a second bevel gear 30 is rotatably connected above the adsorption block 27. The side of the second bevel gear 30 is meshingly connected to the first bevel gear 29, and the first bevel gear 29 is fixedly connected to the third motor 28. A first fastening ring 1 is provided on the bottom of the third motor 28 close to the connecting tube 5.

[0035] The working principle of the postoperative lymphedema prevention and monitoring device for breast cancer proposed by the present invention is as follows:

[0036] When the patient has completed surgery and needs to have his upper limbs examined to determine whether lymphedema has occurred, the steps are as follows:

[0037] First, the patient puts his arm through the second fastening ring 2 and then through the first fastening ring 1. Then, the device is fixed on the patient's upper limb through the mutual adsorption between the second fitting belt 8 and the second soft belt 9, and the mutual adsorption between the first soft belt 6 and the first fitting belt 7. Both the first fastening ring 1 and the second fastening ring 2 are made of breathable materials, and do not need to be tied too tightly, just ensure that the connecting tube 5 can be stably fixed on the upper limb.

[0038] After being fixed, the time point to be detected is set by adjusting the periodic rotation frequency of the first motor 11. When the set time point is reached, the first motor 11 will start and drive the first gear 12 to rotate. The first gear 12 will mesh and rotate along the gear on the side of the curved gear ring 15. When the first gear 12 rotates to the tail of the gear at one end of the curved gear ring 15, it will slide briefly on the surface of the square block 10, then reset and start the next cycle of meshing rotation.

[0039] When the clamping ring 13 is rotated by the first gear 12, the connection plate 16 will follow the angle of the clamping ring 13 and remain fixed. In this way, the first clamping bar 25 and the second clamping bar 26 can accurately measure the upper limb within each cycle range.

[0040] When the first motor 11 rotates, it further drives the first gear 12 to mesh with the side of the curved gear ring 15. As the first gear 12 rotates, the clamping ring 13 rotates on the side of the connecting tube 5. When a certain cycle is reached, the second motor 18 starts and drives the first connecting gear 19 to rotate. Subsequently, the second connecting gear 20, the second curved block 22, the second connecting bar 24, the first connecting bar 23 and the first curved block 21 rotate in sequence, so that the first clamping bar 25 and the second clamping bar 26 are folded. After folding, they fit on the upper limbs, thereby measuring the circumference of the upper limbs.

[0041] The measurement results of the first wearing are recorded and compared with the subsequent data. If the data is abnormal, the system will notify the doctor. If edema is confirmed, timely treatment can be given.
