Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of post-thyroidectomy fixation, and more particularly to a post-thyroidectomy head and neck fixation device. Background Art

[0002] The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland located on the neck. Its main function is to secrete thyroid hormones to maintain normal physiological activities of the body. However, when the thyroid gland is diseased and the nodules are large, surgical intervention is required. After the operation, a special head and neck fixation device is required to fix and cover the neck to ensure the protection of the surgical position to avoid bleeding caused by severe coughing after the operation, and to adjust the pressure appropriately to prevent contracture of the patient's neck muscles. Therefore, the fixation device can achieve the effect of assisting recovery; In summary, the inventors have found that the existing fixation devices mainly have the following defects: since the entire material of the current fixation device is made of medical plastic and is formed in a ring shape, its overall size will be affected by the neck size of different patients, resulting in too large or too small. Therefore, when the size is too large, a large gap will be left between the device and the neck, resulting in fixation failure and allowing external bacteria to invade the wound in the surgical area and cause infection. On the contrary, if the size is too small, it will be unfavorable for the patient to wear it, resulting in fixation failure. Therefore, according to the above description, the use intensity of the head and neck fixation device is reduced and the defect of being unable to be adapted for quick use by any person is reflected. Summary of the invention

The connecting block overlaps with the top of the flexible block and the bottom of the flexible block is connected to the protective block of the buffer block. The bottom of the buffer block is connected to the top of the adjusting bolt of the vertical body and the height of the buffer block is adjusted by rotating the adjusting bolt.

[0005] As a further improvement of the present invention, the vertical body is also provided with a thread groove, which vertically penetrates the center of the solid block and the center of the overlapping layer on the surface of the solid block carries a magnetic suction block to be adsorbed and connected with the center of the main jacket.

[0006] As a further improvement of the present invention, the main jacket and the auxiliary jacket can be disassembled and assembled through the cooperation of the positioning block 1 and the locking bolt, and then the vertical body of the internal reinforcement structure is used to allow the adjustment bolt to drive the buffer block to adjust the height, and then the buffer block is combined with the flexible block to comfortably fix the head and neck.

[0007] As a further improvement of the present invention, the main jacket and the auxiliary jacket are both semicircular in shape and have the same diameter, and a group of locking bolts are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the main jacket through positioning blocks.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, the connecting block is arc-shaped and its length is shorter than that of the flexible block. The flexible block is installed on the inner wall area of ​​the auxiliary jacket through the connecting block and communicates with the protective block below. The buffer block and the flexible block are made of rubber material. A rotating auxiliary sleeve is provided at the bottom of the buffer block to allow the top of the adjusting bolt to be embedded, so that the adjusting bolt can adjust the height of the buffer block through the vertical body.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the thread groove is opened in a vertical orientation and the position of the adjustment bolt is limited, and the overlapping layers of the solid blocks are in a flattened shape so that the magnetic blocks can be set in a parallel orientation.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the buffer block is also provided with a block body, the block body is internally connected to a limiting block, and small pillars are also provided in the limiting block to position the clamping block and the spacing between the clamping blocks forms a slot.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, two limit blocks are provided inside the block body and are set in symmetrical positions. The limit blocks install the two clamping blocks through small pillars.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the clamping block is also provided with a contact layer, which is arranged on the upper layer of the rectangular block. A protrusion is also fixed at the center of the lower end of the rectangular block to fix the block, so that the block can be snap-fitted with the small pillar through the protrusion and the block.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the rectangular block and the protrusion are perpendicular to each other and position the block to locate and restrain it.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, the main jacket is further provided with an extension block, which is installed on the left and right side areas of the jacket body and the arc-shaped area of ​​the jacket body is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes, and straight pipes are connected to the ventilation holes.

[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention, the extension block is also provided with a carrier, the edge of the carrier is connected to a connecting frame and the center is penetrated by a through groove, and a lower support block is also provided in the through groove area, which is arranged in the upper and lower end areas of the through groove to allow the positioning block to be vertically installed and the through groove allows the locking bolt to pass vertically.

[0017] As a further improvement of the present invention, the outside of the carrier is covered by a connection frame, the through slot is opened in a vertical orientation, the lower support block allows the positioning block to be vertically embedded and then allows the locking bolt to pass through the center.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention is further improved by the reinforcement structure. After the flexible block is installed on the inner wall of the auxiliary jacket by using the connecting block, the vertical body in the main jacket can control the height of the buffer block through the adjusting bolt. Therefore, the patient's neck can be comfortably clamped by the buffer block and the flexible block, and then the tightness can be adjusted according to the adjusting bolt, avoiding the situation of being too large or too small in size, thereby replacing the existing elastic band direct binding caused by excessive tightness and discomfort, improving the stability and comfort of postoperative fixation of the thyroid gland and being able to adapt to any person for use.

[0019] 2. The present invention is further improved by the buffer block. The two clamping blocks can be fixed by two sets of limit blocks and small pillars in the block body. Therefore, the protective blocks can be embedded in parallel by using the slots with intervals between the clamping blocks. Then, the clamping blocks are used to clamp and fix them to achieve a stable assembly effect. The clamping characteristics can facilitate the disassembly, disinfection and replacement of the protective blocks in the back area, thereby preventing bacterial infection caused by the protective blocks' continuous contact with the postoperative wound and the inability to be disassembled and replaced.

[0020] 3. The present invention is based on the extension blocks installed on the left and right sides of the main jacket. The lower support block can be positioned through the bearing body and the connecting frame of the extension block. Then, the lower support block can be accurately embedded and positioned according to its own protruding shape and the coincidence with the center of the through groove, ensuring that the locking bolt can be set in a vertical position to prevent the occurrence of tilting and jamming. Furthermore, the multiple ventilation holes opened in the sleeve body can be combined with the straight pipe to allow external air flow to circulate, achieving a ventilation effect, avoiding the situation where sweat cannot evaporate due to continuous sealing, and improving the comfort of the fixing device.
