Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical care products, and in particular relates to a novel umbilical care patch and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Umbilical care is extremely important in medical care, especially for newborns and postoperative patients. However, the existing umbilical care technology has many shortcomings. Traditional umbilical care patches often have defects in air permeability, viscosity, absorption performance and antibacterial properties. For example, some care patches have poor air permeability, which makes the skin around the umbilicus easily moist, creating conditions for bacterial growth and increasing the risk of infection; the viscosity is unstable and easy to fall off, affecting the continuity and effectiveness of care; the absorption performance is limited, and the umbilical secretions cannot be processed in time, resulting in a poor umbilical environment; the antibacterial ability is insufficient, and it is difficult to effectively inhibit bacterial growth, further endangering the health of the umbilicus. At the same time, the existing use methods of care patches lack standardization and specificity, and it is difficult for medical staff and patients to operate accurately, which is easy to cause various problems due to improper use.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a new type of umbilical cord care patch and a method of using the same. The care patch has an innovative structural design, including a skin-friendly layer, a water-absorbing layer, an antibacterial layer and a backing layer stacked in sequence, and each layer has excellent properties, such as good skin-friendliness and air permeability of the skin-friendly layer, efficient water absorption of the water-absorbing layer, strong antibacterial property of the antibacterial layer, and stable viscosity and waterproof air permeability of the backing layer. At the same time, the present invention also specifies the method of use in detail, covering various aspects such as preparation before use, application operation, precautions during use, and replacement of the care patch, to ensure that medical staff and patients can use the care patch correctly, improve the quality and effect of umbilical cord care, reduce the risk of infection, and promote healthy recovery of the umbilical cord. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a new type of umbilical cord care patch and a method of using the same, aiming to solve the problems in the prior art that some care patches have poor air permeability, which makes the skin around the umbilicus easily moist, creates conditions for the growth of bacteria and increases the risk of infection; the viscosity is unstable and easily falls off, affecting the continuity and effectiveness of care; the absorption performance is limited and the umbilical cord secretions cannot be processed in time, resulting in a poor umbilical cord environment.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A novel umbilical cord care patch and a method of using the same, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Prepare before use, including cleaning your hands, observing the condition of the navel and surrounding skin, and if there is any abnormality, seek medical attention in time and handle it under the guidance of a doctor, and prepare the new navel care patch;

[0008] Step 2: Apply the patch. Gently peel off the backing layer of the patch, align the center of the patch with the navel, and slowly and steadily apply the patch to the skin around the navel, ensuring that the skin-friendly layer is in full contact with the skin without bubbles or wrinkles. Start from one end of the patch and gradually press toward the other end to make the patch fit tightly to the skin.

[0009] Step 3: Precautions during use: Observe the navel closely. If the nursing patch is found to be soaked by secretions or shows signs of falling off, it should be replaced in time. At the same time, avoid external friction and squeezing of the nursing patch. If the patient feels itching, pain or other discomfort around the navel, stop using it immediately, check the navel and the nursing patch, and seek medical attention if necessary.

[0010] Step 4: Replace the care patch. First moisten the edge of the care patch with warm water, then gently peel it off. After peeling it off, clean the navel and surrounding skin again. After the skin is dry, replace the care patch with a new one according to the application steps.

[0011] As a preferred solution of the present invention, in the preparation step before use, hands should be cleaned in a manner that meets hygiene standards, such as washing hands with running water and soap for 40-60 seconds. When observing the condition of the navel and surrounding skin, the skin should be carefully checked for abnormal conditions such as redness, swelling, exudation, and damage. If abnormalities exist, the specific manifestations of the abnormalities should be recorded, and professional medical staff should be contacted in a timely manner for evaluation and guidance. When preparing a new navel care patch, check whether the packaging of the care patch is intact and whether it has expired. If the packaging is damaged or expired, it must not be used.

[0012] As a preferred solution of the present invention, in the application operation step, when peeling off the backing layer of the nursing patch, it should be peeled off gently along the edge of the nursing patch, and the angle should not exceed 30 degrees to prevent touching the water absorption layer and the antibacterial layer. When the center of the nursing patch is aligned with the navel, the error range should not exceed 5 mm to ensure the accurate pasting position. During the pasting process, the pressing force should be uniform, and the pressure range should be 0.5-1 Newton, so that the nursing patch fits tightly to the skin without excessively pressing the skin.

[0013] As a preferred solution of the present invention, during use, the time interval for observing the navel is 4 hours. If it is found that the nursing patch is soaked with secretions for more than 30% of the area or there are obvious signs of shedding, it should be replaced in time. Specific measures to prevent the nursing patch from being rubbed and squeezed by external forces include: patients should avoid wearing tight clothing or engaging in strenuous exercise to prevent external forces from directly acting on the nursing patch. If the patient feels itchy, painful or other discomfort symptoms around the navel, the use of the nursing patch should be stopped within 5 minutes, and the navel and the nursing patch should be checked immediately, the degree and manifestation of the discomfort symptoms should be recorded, and medical treatment should be sought within 1 hour if necessary.

[0014] As a preferred solution of the present invention, when replacing the nursing patch, the water temperature of the edge of the nursing patch should be between 30-40 degrees Celsius with warm water, and the wetting time should be no less than 20 seconds. When gently peeling off the nursing patch, the peeling speed should not exceed 2 cm / second to reduce irritation to the skin. When cleaning the navel and surrounding skin again, a sterile cotton ball or gauze should be dipped in an appropriate amount of medical disinfectant and wiped in the order from the center of the navel to the periphery, and the number of wipes should be no less than 3 times. After the skin is dry, the time interval for replacing a new nursing patch should not exceed 15 minutes.

[0015] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the method of use is suitable for medical places, home care and other environments. Applicable people include but are not limited to newborns, postoperative patients and people who need special care for the umbilicus. When used in medical places, the relevant operating procedures and disinfection and isolation systems of the medical institutions should be followed; in home care, users should accept the guidance of professional medical staff and strictly follow the method of use of the present invention.

[0016] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the method of use is closely matched with the structure of the new umbilical care patch, wherein the new umbilical care patch includes a skin-friendly layer, a water-absorbing layer, an antibacterial layer and a backing layer which are stacked in sequence. During use, it should be ensured that the skin-friendly layer fully contacts the skin to exert its skin-friendly and breathable functions; the water-absorbing layer effectively absorbs umbilical secretions to keep the umbilical dry; the antibacterial layer fully exerts its antibacterial effect to inhibit bacterial growth; the backing layer is firmly attached to the skin, while preventing external moisture from entering and ensuring internal moisture dissipation. Each operating step in the method of use should be reasonably operated according to the structural characteristics of the care patch to achieve the best care effect.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. In this solution, the skin-friendly layer is provided with tiny air holes, which can keep the skin dry and reduce the risk of infection. The air holes allow air to flow freely between the skin and the care patch, preventing the skin from being in a humid environment for a long time and inhibiting the growth of bacteria. The backing layer is made of a material with good viscosity, which can be firmly attached to the skin and is not easy to fall off during use. At the same time, the correct uncovering and pasting method further ensures the stability of the viscosity, ensuring that the care patch continues to play an effective role. The water-absorbing layer is composed of a highly absorbent resin material, which can quickly absorb umbilical secretions and keep the umbilical dry. Timely treatment of secretions helps maintain a clean environment for the umbilicus and promotes healthy recovery of the umbilicus. The antibacterial layer contains antibacterial ingredients such as nanosilver, which can effectively inhibit bacterial growth, provide good protection for the umbilicus, and reduce the chance of infection.

[0019] 2. This plan specifies the method of use in detail, covering preparation before use, application operation, precautions during use, and replacement of the care patch. Clear operation steps and requirements enable medical staff and patients to operate accurately, avoid problems caused by improper use, and improve the care effect. For example, it stipulates the specific method and time for cleaning hands, the key points for observing the condition of the navel and surrounding skin, and the correct operation of applying and replacing the care patch, ensuring that each step meets the care requirements, thereby improving the quality and safety of navel care. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] The present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0023] A novel umbilical cord care patch and a method of using the same, comprising the following steps:

[0024] Step 1: Prepare before use, including cleaning your hands, observing the condition of the navel and surrounding skin, and if there is any abnormality, seek medical attention in time and handle it under the guidance of a doctor, and prepare the new navel care patch;

[0025] Step 2: Apply the patch. Gently peel off the backing layer of the patch, align the center of the patch with the navel, and slowly and steadily apply the patch to the skin around the navel, ensuring that the skin-friendly layer is in full contact with the skin without bubbles or wrinkles. Start from one end of the patch and gradually press toward the other end to make the patch fit tightly to the skin.

[0026] Step 3: Precautions during use: Observe the navel closely. If the nursing patch is found to be soaked by secretions or shows signs of falling off, it should be replaced in time. At the same time, avoid external friction and squeezing of the nursing patch. If the patient feels itching, pain or other discomfort around the navel, stop using it immediately, check the navel and the nursing patch, and seek medical attention if necessary.

[0027] Step 4: Replace the care patch. First moisten the edge of the care patch with warm water, then gently peel it off. After peeling it off, clean the navel and surrounding skin again. After the skin is dry, replace the care patch with a new one according to the application steps.

[0028] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, 1. Preparation before use:

[0029] Clean your hands: Cleaning your hands is the first key step to ensure the hygiene of umbilical cord care operations. Rinse your hands with running water, then apply an appropriate amount of soap or hand sanitizer, and rub your hands together to ensure that the palms, backs of hands, fingers, nails and other parts are fully cleaned. The rubbing time should be no less than 40-60 seconds, which can effectively remove dirt and most bacteria on the hands. After that, rinse your hands thoroughly with clean water and dry them with a clean towel or paper towel. The purpose of cleaning your hands is to prevent the spread of bacteria on the hands to the umbilicus and surrounding skin during subsequent care operations, thereby reducing the risk of infection.

[0030] Observe the condition of the navel and surrounding skin: Carefully check the appearance of the navel and surrounding skin to see if there is any redness or swelling. The degree of redness or swelling can be preliminarily judged by comparing the color with the surrounding normal skin and the temperature when touched. Observe whether there is exudate. The amount, color and texture of the exudate need to be noted. For example, clear exudate may be related to tissue fluid exudation, while turbid or odorous exudate may indicate infection. At the same time, pay attention to check whether the skin is damaged. The size, shape and bleeding of the damage should also be recorded clearly. If any abnormality is found, stop self-treatment immediately and contact professional medical staff in time. Medical staff will evaluate the specific situation and may recommend further examinations or take appropriate treatment measures to ensure that the health of the navel is properly handled and monitored.

[0031] Prepare a new navel care patch: Before performing navel care, you need to prepare a new navel care patch. First, check whether the packaging of the care patch is intact and whether there are any signs of damage, tearing or opening. If the packaging is damaged, the care patch may be contaminated, affecting its effectiveness and safety. At this time, the care patch should not be used. At the same time, check the production date and expiration date of the care patch to ensure that it is within the validity period. Expired care patches may have problems such as reduced material performance and weakened antibacterial effects, and are not suitable for navel care. After confirmation, place the care patch in a convenient and clean place and prepare for the next step.

[0032] 2. Application operation: Peel off the backing layer of the care patch: Be gentle when applying. Pinch the edge of the care patch with your fingers and slowly peel off the backing layer along the edge. The peeling angle should be as small as possible, within 30 degrees, so as to avoid touching the internal structure of the care patch, especially the water-absorbing layer and the antibacterial layer, to the greatest extent possible during the peeling process, and prevent contamination of these key parts, thereby ensuring the effectiveness and hygiene of the care patch. When peeling, pay attention to keeping the backing layer flat to avoid wrinkles or tears, so as to ensure that the subsequent pasting operation can proceed smoothly.

[0033] Align the navel and stick: Align the center of the care patch accurately with the navel, which requires concentration and carefulness during the operation. You can do this visually or by gently fixing the skin around the navel with one hand, while holding the care patch with the other hand for alignment. After confirming that the position is correct, slowly and steadily stick the care patch to the skin around the navel. The pasting process should start from one end of the care patch and gradually press toward the other end so that the care patch fits tightly to the skin. The pressure should be even when pressing to avoid the situation where some areas are not firmly adhered or excessive pressure causes skin discomfort. Make sure that the skin-friendly layer is in full contact with the skin without bubbles and wrinkles. Bubbles and wrinkles may affect the pasting effect and function of the care patch, such as causing the care patch to fall off easily, or affecting the absorption of secretions by the water-absorbing layer and the inhibition of bacteria by the antibacterial layer.

[0034] 3. Precautions during use:

[0035] Closely observe the navel: During the use of the nursing patch, it is necessary to regularly observe the condition of the navel. It is recommended to observe once every 4 hours so that problems can be discovered in time and appropriate measures can be taken. When observing, it is important to check whether the nursing patch is soaked with secretions. If it is found that the area of ​​the nursing patch soaked with secretions exceeds 30%, it should be considered to replace the nursing patch in time. In addition, it is also necessary to observe whether the nursing patch has signs of falling off, such as whether the edge of the nursing patch is lifted, whether the tightness of the paste is significantly reduced, etc. Once signs of falling off are found, it is also necessary to replace it in time to ensure that the navel is always in an effective nursing state.

[0036] Avoid external forces: In order to ensure the normal use of the nursing patch and the nursing effect of the umbilicus, try to avoid friction and extrusion of the nursing patch by external forces. For patients, they should avoid wearing tight clothing, especially clothing around the waist and abdomen, so as to prevent clothing from rubbing or squeezing the nursing patch. At the same time, avoid strenuous exercise, such as running, jumping, etc. These exercises may cause body shaking and friction, which will affect the stability of the nursing patch. If the nursing patch is accidentally subjected to external forces in daily life, the state of the nursing patch should be checked in time to see if it is displaced, fallen off or damaged. If necessary, the nursing patch should be handled or replaced in time.

[0037] Dealing with discomfort symptoms: During the use of the nursing patch, if the patient feels itching, pain or other discomfort symptoms around the navel, the nursing patch should be stopped immediately. This may be caused by a variety of reasons, such as skin allergies, the nursing patch is too tight, or there is a problem with the navel itself. After stopping use, check the navel and the nursing patch quickly. Observe whether the navel skin has increased redness and swelling, rash, blisters and other allergic manifestations, and check whether the nursing patch is abnormal, such as whether there is any odor, residual secretions, etc. Record the specific degree and manifestation of the discomfort symptoms. For example, the degree of itching can be described as mild, moderate, and severe, and the nature of the pain can be tingling, distending pain, dull pain, etc. If the discomfort symptoms are more severe or continue to persist, you should see a doctor within 1 hour so that the doctor can make a professional diagnosis and treatment.

[0038] 4. Replace the nursing patch: Wet and peel off the nursing patch: When you need to replace the nursing patch, first prepare an appropriate amount of warm water, and the water temperature should be controlled between 30-40 degrees Celsius. Dip a clean cotton ball or gauze in warm water, and then gently wet the edge of the nursing patch. The wetting time should be no less than 20 seconds, so that the stickiness of the nursing patch can be reduced and it is easy to peel off. When peeling off the nursing patch, the action should be gentle and the peeling speed should be controlled at no more than 2 cm / second to reduce irritation and pulling on the skin. During the peeling process, pay attention to the condition of the umbilical skin to see if there is adhesion or damage. If a small amount of adhesion is found, it can be gently wiped with warm water to separate it. If skin damage occurs, it should be treated in time, such as applying an appropriate amount of disinfectant or ointment to prevent infection.

[0039] Clean the navel and surrounding skin: After removing the care patch, you need to clean the navel and surrounding skin again. Use a sterile cotton ball or gauze to dip in an appropriate amount of medical disinfectant and wipe from the center of the navel to the periphery. Wipe at least 3 times to ensure thorough cleaning. During the cleaning process, be gentle and avoid excessive wiping that may cause skin damage. After cleaning, gently dry the skin with a clean towel or paper towel and wait for the skin to dry naturally. Be careful not to use a hair dryer or other equipment to dry the skin to avoid causing dryness or discomfort.

[0040] Replace the new care patch: After the skin is dry, replace the new care patch according to the steps of the application operation. Confirm again that the packaging of the care patch is intact and within the validity period, and correctly peel off the backing layer, and stick the care patch accurately on the skin around the navel, ensuring that the skin-friendly layer is in full contact with the skin, without bubbles and wrinkles, and pressing firmly. After replacing the care patch, continue to closely observe the condition of the navel and perform care according to the precautions during use to ensure the health and recovery of the navel.

[0041] Specifically in this scheme, in the preparation steps before use, hands should be cleaned in a way that meets hygiene standards, such as washing hands with running water and soap for 40-60 seconds. When observing the condition of the navel and surrounding skin, the skin should be carefully checked for abnormalities such as redness, swelling, exudation, and damage. If there are abnormalities, the specific manifestations of the abnormalities should be recorded, and professional medical staff should be contacted in time for evaluation and guidance. When preparing a new navel care patch, check whether the packaging of the care patch is intact and whether it has expired. If the packaging is damaged or expired, it must not be used.

[0042] In this embodiment: Choose appropriate cleaning supplies:

[0043] In addition to using ordinary soap, you can also choose hand sanitizer with antibacterial function. Antibacterial hand sanitizer usually contains some ingredients that can effectively kill common bacteria, such as triclosan, benzalkonium chloride, etc., which can further improve the effect of cleaning hands and reduce the amount of bacteria carried by hands. In emergency situations where there is no soap or hand sanitizer, you can also use hand disinfectant containing a certain alcohol concentration (generally recommended to be more than 60%) for cleaning, but alcohol may dry the skin, so pay attention to moisturizing your hands after use.

[0044] Correct hand washing posture and method:

[0045] Soak both hands completely in running water so that the water can fully wash all parts of the hands. Then take an appropriate amount of soap or hand sanitizer, rub the palm of your hand to create rich foam, then rub the back of your left hand with the palm of your right hand, crossing your fingers to ensure that the back of your hand and the gaps between your fingers can be cleaned; then rub the back of your right hand with the palm of your left hand, crossing your fingers in the same way. After that, hold the thumb of your left hand with the fingers of your right hand, rotate and rub, and then switch. Then, put the fingertips of both hands together in the palm of your hand, rub them, and clean the fingertips. Finally, use the palm of one hand to rub the wrist and arm of the other hand to ensure that the entire hand is clean. Keep the movements continuous throughout the whole hand washing process, and rub each part for about 3-5 seconds to ensure full cleaning.

[0046] Handling after washing: Rinse the soap foam on your hands thoroughly with running water for at least 20 seconds to ensure that there is no residual soap or hand sanitizer on your hands. After rinsing, dry your hands with a clean towel or disposable paper towel. Towels should be washed and replaced regularly to keep them clean and hygienic to avoid contamination of hands with bacteria due to towel contamination. If disposable paper towels are used, they should be thrown into the trash to avoid littering and environmental pollution.

[0047] 2. Observe the condition of the navel and surrounding skin:

[0048] Observe with the aid of tools: In order to observe the navel and surrounding skin more clearly, you can use a small flashlight. Shine the flashlight at the navel at an appropriate angle so that you can see the details of the skin more clearly, such as whether there are tiny damages, red and swollen boundaries, etc. For some less obvious exudates, you can use a sterile cotton swab to gently wipe the area around the navel and observe whether there is any secretion left on the cotton swab and the characteristics of the secretion. If conditions permit, you can also use a magnifying glass to further check the condition of the skin, but be aware that the magnifying glass needs to be disinfected before use to avoid bringing external bacteria into the observation area.

[0049] How to record abnormal conditions: Prepare a special notebook or use the note function of your mobile phone to record detailed information about abnormal conditions in the umbilicus. For redness and swelling, record the size of the redness and swelling. You can measure it in centimeters, for example, the diameter of the redness and swelling area is about [X] centimeters. At the same time, describe the color of the redness and swelling, whether it is light red, dark red or purple red, and whether the skin temperature is elevated. You can feel it by touching it and comparing it with the surrounding normal skin. For exudate, record the amount of exudate, such as small amount (exudate area less than 1 square centimeter), medium amount (exudate area between 1-3 square centimeters) or large amount (exudate area greater than 3 square centimeters), the color of the exudate (such as transparent, light yellow, yellow-green, bloody, etc.) and the texture (such as watery, purulent, mucous, etc.). For damage, record the location, shape (such as round, linear, irregular, etc.), size (length and width are [X] centimeters respectively), and whether there is bleeding. Be as detailed and accurate as possible when recording. This information is very important for medical staff to accurately assess the condition of the umbilicus.

[0050] Ways and precautions to contact medical staff in time:

[0051] If you find any abnormality in the navel and surrounding skin, you should contact professional medical staff immediately. You can communicate by calling the hospital's emergency number, department number, or contacting your attending physician. When contacting, you should clearly describe the abnormality you observed to the medical staff and tell them truthfully according to the recorded content so that the medical staff can make a preliminary judgment on the severity of the condition and give corresponding guidance. At the same time, you should listen to the advice of the medical staff, such as whether you need to go to the hospital immediately and what temporary care measures should be taken while waiting for the doctor. If the medical staff recommends going to the hospital, you should arrange to go as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition.

[0052] 3. Prepare a new type of umbilical cord care patch:

[0053] Check the details of the packaging integrity: carefully check whether the packaging of the care patch is damaged. Not only should you pay attention to whether there are obvious tears and holes on the surface of the packaging, but also check whether the seal of the packaging is well sealed. For some care patches packaged in sealed bags, you can gently squeeze the sealed bag to observe whether there is gas leakage. If there is gas leakage, it may mean that the sealing of the packaging has been damaged. For care patches packaged in paper boxes, check whether the corners of the paper box are damaged and whether the sealing label on the paper box is intact. At the same time, pay attention to check whether there are any signs of squeezing and deformation on the packaging, as this may affect the quality of the care patch inside.

[0054] How to determine whether the care patch is expired: The production date and expiration date are usually marked on the packaging of the care patch. The production date is generally marked in the format of year, month, and day, and the expiration date may be expressed in specific days, months, or years. For example, if the production date is May 10, 2023 and the expiration date is 18 months, then the care patch is valid until November 10, 2024. When checking the expiration date, be sure to check whether the current date is within the validity period. In addition, some care patches may have an expiration date marked on the packaging, which more intuitively shows the expiration date of use. If you have any questions about the interpretation of the date, you can refer to the instructions on the packaging or consult the relevant manufacturer or seller.

[0055] How to deal with damaged or expired care patches: If you find that the packaging of the care patch is damaged or expired, you must not use it. For care patches with damaged packaging, they should be properly placed in a separate container to avoid confusion with other items, and marked for subsequent unified treatment. Do not discard them at will to avoid being picked up and misused by others. For expired care patches, they should also be classified and stored, and can be sorted according to expiration date or product batch. Then, according to local medical waste disposal regulations or relevant environmental protection requirements, these damaged or expired care patches will be centrally disposed of. Generally speaking, medical institutions will have special channels for medical waste disposal, and in a home environment, you can consult the local health department or environmental protection agency to learn the correct disposal method to ensure that it will not cause harm to the environment and the health of others.

[0056] Specifically in this solution, during the application operation, when peeling off the backing layer of the nursing patch, it should be peeled off gently along the edge of the nursing patch, with an angle of no more than 30 degrees to prevent touching the water-absorbing layer and the antibacterial layer. When aligning the center of the nursing patch with the navel, the error range should not exceed 5 mm to ensure the accurate pasting position. During the pasting process, the pressing force should be uniform, with a pressure range of 0.5-1 Newton, so that the nursing patch fits tightly to the skin without excessively pressing the skin.

[0057] In this embodiment: (a) uncovering the backing layer of the nursing patch: In actual operation, for example, when a nurse applies umbilical care to a newborn, the nurse will gently pinch the edge of the nursing patch with the index finger and thumb. The backing layer is uncovered at a very slow speed, with a movement amplitude close to the millimeter level. The uncovering angle is strictly controlled within 30 degrees, which requires the nurse's hand movements to be extremely gentle and stable. It can be imagined as opening a precious envelope, carefully avoiding any impact on the internal contents. This is done because if the angle is too large, the fingers can easily slip onto the water-absorbing layer and the antibacterial layer accidentally, and the nurse's fingers may carry some bacteria or other tiny particles. Once they come into contact with these two layers, they may contaminate the nursing patch, reduce its nursing effect, and even introduce new infection risks. For example, in the neonatal ward of a hospital, nurses will undergo special training and multiple practices to ensure that they can master this uncovering angle and action to provide safe and effective umbilical care for newborns.

[0058] (ii) Align the navel and stick: When aligning the center of the nursing patch with the navel, the nurse will first use her eyes to roughly locate it, and then make fine adjustments. With the navel as the center, ensure the accurate position of the nursing patch within a radius of 5 mm. This requires a high degree of concentration and carefulness, because even a slight deviation may affect the function of the nursing patch. For example, if the nursing patch deviates too much from the navel, it may not be able to completely cover the area that needs care, resulting in part of the navel being exposed to the outside, increasing the possibility of infection; or the absorbent layer cannot accurately absorb the umbilical secretions, thus affecting the nursing effect. In actual operation, the nurse may use some auxiliary tools, such as small lighting equipment, to more clearly observe the positional relationship between the navel and the nursing patch. During the pasting process, the nurse will press with uniform pressure. A small pressure measuring instrument can be used to assist training and actual operation to ensure that the pressure is within the range of 0.5-1 Newton. This pressure can not only make the nursing patch fit tightly to the skin, prevent air from entering and forming bubbles, but also will not cause excessive pressure on the delicate skin of the newborn. For example, for some newborns with sensitive skin, too much pressure may cause redness or even slight indentations on the skin, while too little pressure may make the care patch not stick firmly and fall off easily. Therefore, it is very important to accurately grasp the pressure.

[0059] Specifically in this plan, during use, the interval for observing the navel is 4 hours. If the nursing patch is found to be soaked with secretions for more than 30% of the area or there are obvious signs of shedding, it should be replaced in time. Specific measures to prevent the nursing patch from being rubbed and squeezed by external forces include: patients should avoid wearing tight clothing or engaging in strenuous exercise to prevent external forces from directly acting on the nursing patch. If the patient feels itching, pain or other discomfort symptoms around the navel, the use of the nursing patch should be stopped within 5 minutes, and the navel and the nursing patch should be checked immediately, the degree and manifestation of the discomfort symptoms should be recorded, and medical treatment should be sought within 1 hour if necessary.

[0060] In this embodiment: (a) Observe the umbilical condition: During the period when the patient uses the nursing patch, taking the postoperative patient as an example, the nurse will observe the umbilical condition once every 4 hours at the prescribed time interval. During the observation, the nurse will carefully check whether there is any sign of secretion soaking on the surface of the nursing patch. If a moist area is found on the nursing patch, a sterile cotton swab will be used to gently press the area, and then the soaking area will be estimated to be more than 30% by comparing it with a standard reference object of known area. At the same time, the edge of the nursing patch will be checked for any warping or looseness to determine whether there is any sign of falling off. For example, in a postoperative ward, a nurse will set up an umbilical nursing observation record sheet for each patient, recording the time of each observation, the state of the nursing patch, and the appearance of the umbilical condition. Once it is found that the nursing patch is soaked with secretions for more than 30% of the area or there are obvious signs of falling off, the nurse will immediately replace the nursing patch for the patient to ensure that the umbilical cord is always in a good nursing state to prevent the occurrence of complications such as infection.

[0061] (ii) Avoid external forces: For patients, special attention should be paid to avoid external friction and extrusion of the nursing patch in daily life. For example, when choosing clothes, patients should avoid wearing tight jeans, belly bands and other overly tight clothes, especially around the navel. These tight clothes may cause friction on the nursing patch when the patient is moving, causing the nursing patch to shift or fall off. At the same time, patients should avoid strenuous exercise, such as running, jumping, aerobics, etc. Take a patient who is recovering from abdominal surgery as an example. If he performs strenuous exercise, the shaking of the body and the contraction of the abdominal muscles may exert a large external force on the nursing patch, which will not only affect the adhesion effect of the nursing patch, but also may cause a certain amount of traction on the umbilical wound, delaying wound healing. Therefore, patients should choose loose and comfortable clothing during the recovery period, and adjust the intensity of activities appropriately according to their physical condition to protect the safety of the nursing patch and the navel.

[0062] Specifically, in this solution, when replacing the nursing patch, the edge of the nursing patch should be moistened with warm water at a temperature between 30 and 40 degrees Celsius, and the moistening time should be no less than 20 seconds. When gently peeling off the nursing patch, the peeling speed should not exceed 2 cm / second to reduce irritation to the skin. When cleaning the navel and surrounding skin again, a sterile cotton ball or gauze should be dipped in an appropriate amount of medical disinfectant and wiped from the center of the navel to the periphery, and the number of wipes should be no less than 3 times. After the skin is dry, the time interval for replacing a new nursing patch should not exceed 15 minutes.

[0063] In this embodiment: In actual operation, such as when changing the nursing patch for a newborn in the pediatric ward of a hospital, the nurse will first prepare a water thermometer and an appropriate amount of warm water. Put the water thermometer in warm water and make sure the water temperature is between 30-40 degrees Celsius. This temperature range is carefully considered, because too high a water temperature may scald the delicate skin of the newborn, and too low a water temperature may not effectively reduce the viscosity of the nursing patch, increasing the difficulty of peeling off and the pulling on the skin. When the water temperature is appropriate, the nurse will dip a cotton ball in warm water and gently apply it to the edge of the nursing patch. When applying, make sure that the cotton ball is fully moistened and in good contact with the edge of the nursing patch, and the wetting time is strictly controlled to be no less than 20 seconds. This can gradually reduce the viscosity between the backing layer of the nursing patch and the skin, making it easier to peel off later. For example, the nurse may gently press the cotton ball while applying it so that the warm water can better penetrate into the gap between the backing layer and the skin, thereby achieving a better wetting effect;

[0064] When the edge of the nursing patch is fully moistened, the nurse will begin to peel off the nursing patch. When peeling it off, the nurse will gently pinch the edge of the nursing patch with the index finger and thumb, and peel it off very slowly, with a peeling speed not exceeding 2 cm / second. This speed is controlled to minimize irritation and pulling on the newborn's skin. Imagine that it is like gently peeling off a precious sticker, which requires extreme patience and carefulness. During the peeling process, the nurse will closely observe the reaction of the newborn and the condition of the skin. If the newborn cries or the skin is slightly red, the peeling operation will be immediately stopped, the cause will be checked, and appropriate measures will be taken, such as re-wetting the edge of the nursing patch or adjusting the peeling angle and strength. For example, in actual operation, the nurse may peel off the nursing patch while gently comforting the newborn with the other hand to reduce its discomfort.

[0065] Specifically in this solution, the method of use is applicable to medical places, home care and other environments. Applicable populations include but are not limited to newborns, postoperative patients and people who need special care for the umbilicus. When used in medical places, the relevant operating procedures and disinfection and isolation systems of the medical institution should be followed; in home care, the user should accept the guidance of professional medical staff and strictly follow the method of use of the present invention.

[0066] In this embodiment: (a) medical place: in the obstetrics and gynecology ward of the hospital, for the umbilical care of the newborn, the medical staff will strictly follow the relevant operating procedures and disinfection and isolation system of the medical institution. When using the new umbilical care patch for the newborn, it will first be operated in a special care area, which is kept clean, dry and disinfected regularly. The medical staff will strictly wash their hands and wear protective equipment such as sterile gloves and work clothes before operation. Before using the care patch, the umbilical cord of the newborn will be evaluated in detail, including the appearance of the umbilical cord, the presence or absence of secretions, whether there is redness and swelling, etc., and recorded in the medical record. When applying the care patch, it will be carried out according to the standard operating procedures to ensure that the care patch is firmly pasted and accurately positioned. During the nursing process, the state of the care patch and the condition of the newborn's umbilical cord will be regularly observed, such as once every 4 hours, and the care patch will be replaced in time according to the observation results. At the same time, for medical waste such as used care patches, they will be classified, collected and processed according to the regulations of the hospital to prevent the occurrence of cross infection. For example, in the obstetrics and gynecology department of a comprehensive hospital, there will be a special manual of operating procedures for neonatal umbilical care, and medical staff will receive regular training and assessments to ensure that every link is strictly implemented in accordance with the standards.

[0067] (II) Home care: In a home environment, for some postoperative patients or people who need special umbilical care, users will use the care patch under the guidance of professional medical staff. For example, when a parturient who has undergone cesarean section performs umbilical care at home, before leaving the hospital, the medical staff will explain in detail to the parturient and her family the use and precautions of the new umbilical care patch. This includes steps such as how to clean your hands correctly, observe the condition of the umbilicus, apply and replace the care patch. At the same time, written guidance materials and contact information will be provided so that the parturient can consult in time when encountering problems. The parturient will prepare the necessary items at home, such as care patches, warm water, medical disinfectants, sterile cotton balls or gauze, etc. When performing the care operation, they will follow the guidance of the medical staff, clean their hands first, then observe the condition of the umbilicus, and contact the doctor in time if there is any abnormality. When replacing the care patch, they will also strictly follow the steps, such as moistening the edge of the care patch with warm water, gently peeling it off, cleaning the umbilical skin again, and replacing the new care patch within the specified time. In addition, we will pay attention to keeping the nursing environment clean and hygienic, and avoid operating in dusty or humid places. For example, mothers will perform nursing operations on a clean table in the bedroom and change bed sheets and clothes regularly to reduce the risk of infection. Through the guidance of professional medical staff and strict operation of users, we ensure that the new umbilical cord care patch can be effectively used in the home care environment to promote the recovery of the umbilical cord.

[0068] In the specific scheme, the method of use is closely matched with the structure of the new umbilical care patch, wherein the new umbilical care patch includes a skin-friendly layer, a water-absorbing layer, an antibacterial layer and a backing layer which are stacked in sequence. During use, it should be ensured that the skin-friendly layer fully contacts the skin to exert its skin-friendly and breathable functions; the water-absorbing layer effectively absorbs umbilical secretions to keep the umbilical dry; the antibacterial layer fully exerts its antibacterial effect to inhibit bacterial growth; the backing layer is firmly attached to the skin, while preventing external moisture from entering and ensuring the dissipation of internal moisture. The various operating steps in the method of use should be reasonably operated according to the structural characteristics of the care patch to achieve the best care effect.

[0069] In this embodiment: the surface of the skin-friendly layer is provided with a plurality of tiny air holes, and the presence of these air holes allows air to flow freely between the skin and the nursing patch. This function is of great significance in many aspects. First, it helps to keep the skin dry. If the skin around the navel is in a humid environment for a long time, it is easy to breed bacteria and cause problems such as infection. Through the air holes, the skin can breathe, and sweat and moisture can be dissipated in time, thereby reducing the risk of infection caused by skin moisture. Secondly, good air permeability can also promote skin metabolism and is conducive to the healthy recovery of the skin.

[0070] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
