Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly to a wearable cold compress and compression vest. Background Art

[0002] Chemotherapy is an important means for treating malignant tumors. It mainly uses chemical drugs to prevent the proliferation, infiltration, and metastasis of tumor cells, and even kill tumor cells. Clinically, patients with malignant tumors often need long-term intravenous drug administration during the treatment process. At present, common chemotherapy channels mainly include PICC - peripherally inserted central catheter, CVC - central venous catheter, PORT infusion port, etc. The PORT infusion port is a closed infusion device implanted in the human body, including a catheter part with a tip located in the superior vena cava and an injection port implanted subcutaneously. Clinically, on the first day after the PORT infusion port is implanted into the patient's body, in order to prevent hematoma caused by bleeding. After the patient returns to the ward after catheterization, the nurse needs to place an ice pack at the catheter suture site of the patient (after the PORT is implanted, there will be 3 stitches and 1 stitch on the patient's body surface), and achieve the purpose of relieving pain and avoiding swelling through cold compress. The problems existing in this solution are: the cold compress time is relatively long, so it will take a lot of the nurse's working time and reduce the nurse's work efficiency. In addition, it is difficult to control the cold compress effect and time, and it is easy to cause skin frostbite to the patient. Therefore, how to develop a new structure of cold compress device to overcome the above problems in the prior art is the direction that those skilled in the art need to further study. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a wearable cold compress and compression vest, which can press the cold compress bag at the catheter suture site through wearing, liberating the human resources of the nurse. At the same time, the temperature at the catheter suture site is detected to effectively avoid frostbite.

[0004] The present invention discloses a wearable cold compress and compression vest, which includes:

[0005] A cold compress ice bag;

[0006] An elastic band, the cold compress ice bag is detachably installed on the inner side of the band body of the elastic band; the inner side of the band body refers to the side of the elastic band that fits the patient's body surface;

[0007] An alarm device, the alarm device includes a temperature measuring probe and a controller; the temperature measuring probe is used to collect a temperature measurement value in the startup state, and the controller is signal-connected to the temperature measuring probe through a signal line; the controller includes a control unit, an arithmetic unit, and an alarm unit; the control unit is used to control the temperature measuring probe to enter the startup state; a first temperature threshold is pre-stored in the arithmetic unit, and the arithmetic unit is used to read the temperature measurement value and trigger the alarm unit to enter the startup state when the temperature measurement value is lower than the first temperature threshold;

[0008] The alarm unit is used to give an alarm when entering the startup state.

[0009] By adopting this technical solution: The elastic band is fixed on the patient's body by bundling or other means, and the cold compress ice bag is attached to the catheter suture to achieve cooling and cold compress. At the same time, the temperature measuring probe is extended under the elastic band to make it close to the catheter suture, and the body surface temperature at the catheter suture is read. When the body surface temperature at the catheter suture is too low (lower than the first temperature threshold), an alarm is output, thereby avoiding the situation that the skin at the catheter suture of the patient is frostbitten.

[0010] Preferably, an installation cavity is provided on the inner side of the band body of the elastic band, and a zipper member is provided on the outer surface of the installation cavity; a waterproof film layer covers the inner surface of the installation cavity; the shape and size of the installation cavity match those of the cold compress ice bag.

[0011] By adopting this technical solution: The cold compress ice bag is installed in the installation cavity to realize detachable fixation of the elastic band. The zipper is used to open / close the installation cavity. By covering the inner surface of the installation cavity with a waterproof film layer, the condensation on the surface of the cold compress ice bag from wetting the patient's clothes is reduced.

[0012] Preferably, a catheter buckle is provided on one side of the band body of the elastic band, and the shape of the catheter buckle is configured to be used for detachably clamping an infusion catheter.

[0013] By adopting this technical solution: When infusing through an infusion port, lift the elastic band and insert the needle into the infusion port, and at the same time, clamp the infusion catheter on the catheter buckle to realize the position positioning of the infusion catheter, reducing the situation of needle slippage.

[0014] Preferably, a first zipper part and a second zipper part are respectively provided at both ends of the band body of the elastic band, and the first zipper part and the second zipper part match each other.

[0016] Preferably, an elastic adjustment section is provided on the band body of the elastic band.

[0017] By adopting this technical solution: The length of the band body of the elastic band can be adjusted to ensure that the patient can feel comfortable when it is fixed on the patient's body surface.

[0018] Preferably, the controller further includes a timing unit;

[0019] The timing unit pre-stores a time threshold and a second temperature threshold. The timing unit is used to read the temperature measurement value obtained by the temperature measurement probe. The timing unit is also used to start timing when the temperature measurement value is lower than the second temperature threshold, reset the timing when the temperature measurement value is not lower than the second temperature threshold, and trigger the alarm unit to enter the startup state when the duration of the timing reaches the time threshold.

[0021] Preferably, a transparent observation window is provided on the belt body of the elastic band.

[0022] By adopting this technical solution: the position of the transparent observation window is set to match the position of the infusion port. Then, the infusion port can be observed through the transparent observation window during infusion, and clinical problems such as bleeding that need to be dealt with can be discovered in time.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0037] Embodiment 1, please refer to Figures 1 - 3 :

[0038] A wearable cold compress and compression vest, which includes: a cold compress ice pack 100, an elastic band 200, and an alarm device. Among them,

[0039] The elastic band 200 is a long strip-shaped band body, which is made of elastic material as a whole to adapt to the body shapes of different patients. At both ends of the band body of the elastic band 200, a first zipper part 220 and a second zipper part are respectively provided, and the first zipper part 220 and the second zipper part are matched with each other. The so-called "matched with each other" means that the first zipper part 220 and the second zipper part can be connected and combined into one body, so that the head and tail of the elastic band 200 are connected to form a circular band body. An installation cavity 230 is provided on the inner side of the band body of the elastic band 200. The inner side of the band body refers to the side of the elastic band 200 that fits the patient's body surface; the installation cavity 230 is matched with the shape and size of the cold compress ice pack 100 and is used to place the cold compress ice pack 100. A zipper member 231 is provided on the outer surface of the installation cavity 230 for opening / closing the installation cavity 230. The inner surface of the installation cavity 230 may also be covered with a waterproof film layer 232. In this example: A catheter buckle 260 may also be provided on one side of the band body of the elastic band 200, and the shape of the catheter buckle 260 is configured to detachably clamp an infusion catheter. In this example, a transparent observation window 250 is provided on the band body of the elastic band 200. Since the position where the port infusion port is implanted into the patient's body is usually fixed, the position of the transparent observation window 250 on the elastic band 200 can be configured to cover the upper side of the port infusion port when the patient wears the elastic band 200 (the size of the transparent observation window 250 is set to be larger than that of the port infusion port, so as to avoid the influence caused by the patient's body shape error). In this example: A stretch adjustment section 240 may also be provided on the band body of the elastic band 200. Here, the stretch adjustment section 240 can be implemented in various forms. For example: The stretch adjustment section 240 can be set to include an air inflation bag, and an inflation nozzle is provided on the surface of the air inflation bag. When the bag is inflated through the inflation nozzle, the stretch adjustment section 240 is tightened, and the length of the band body of the elastic band 200 is increased. The stretch adjustment section 240 can also be set to a rotary contraction band structure. The rotary contraction band includes a knob member 241 exposed on the surface of the band body of the elastic band 200, and a plurality of tightening ropes buried in the elastic band 200 and connected to the knob member 241 at one end. This structure is commonly seen in baby waist stools, so it will not be elaborated in this article.

[0040] The alarm device includes a temperature measuring probe 310 and a controller 320. The temperature measuring probe 310 is used to collect a temperature measurement value in the startup state, and the controller 320 is signal-connected to the temperature measuring probe 310 through a signal line; the controller 320 includes a control unit, an arithmetic unit, a timing unit, and an alarm unit; the control unit is used to control the temperature measuring probe 310 to enter the startup state; a first temperature threshold is pre-stored in the arithmetic unit, and the arithmetic unit is used to read the temperature measurement value and trigger the alarm unit to enter the startup state when the temperature measurement value is lower than the first temperature threshold; a time threshold and a second temperature threshold are pre-stored in the timing unit, and the timing unit is used to read the temperature measurement value obtained by the temperature measuring probe 310, the timing unit is further used to start timing when the temperature measurement value is lower than the second temperature threshold, reset the timing when the temperature measurement value is not lower than the second temperature threshold, and trigger the alarm unit to enter the startup state when the duration of the timing reaches the time threshold. The alarm unit is used to give an alarm when entering the startup state.

[0041] In practice, its working process is as follows:

[0042] First, the cold compress ice pack 100 is placed into the installation cavity 230 and fixed to the patient's body through the elastic band 200 (usually the elastic band 200 is passed around the patient's armpit and around the body once), and the cold compress ice pack 100 is made to fit against the catheter suture to achieve cooling and cold compress. At the same time, the temperature measuring probe 310 is extended under the elastic band 200 to make it close to the catheter suture (close to the installation cavity 230), and the temperature measuring probe 310 is started through the controller 320. The temperature measuring probe 310 reads the temperature measurement value of the body surface at the catheter suture. When the temperature measurement value is too low (lower than the first temperature threshold), the arithmetic unit controls the alarm unit to start and output an alarm, thereby avoiding the skin at the patient's catheter suture from being frostbitten. At the same time, the timing unit monitors the duration of continuous cold compress: when the temperature measurement value is lower than the second temperature threshold, it is considered that the temperature measuring probe 310 has reached the temperature measurement position, and timing is started at this time; when the temperature measurement value is not lower than the second temperature threshold, it is considered that the temperature measuring probe 310 has left the temperature measurement position, and the timing is reset at this time; when the duration of the timing reaches the time threshold (usually set to 2 hours), the alarm unit is triggered to enter the startup state. Thus, the problem of pressure sores caused by long-term cold compress on the patient's body surface can be avoided.

[0043] The above has described the embodiments of the present invention in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Even if various changes are made to the present invention, provided that these changes fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalent technologies, they still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
