Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of incision protection, and particularly to a surgical incision protection device for thoracic surgery patients. Background Art

[0002] A Chinese patent discloses a surgical incision protection device for thoracic surgery patients, with its publication number (CN112656562B). This patent proposes that usually only a bandage to assist recovery is wrapped around the surgical incision. Patients are prone to unconsciously perform actions such as bending over, that is, it is easy to cause traction on the surgical incisions on the chest and abdomen due to daily activities, thus easily resulting in pain at the surgical incision and slowing down the incision recovery speed. By restricting actions through body posture limitation, this device has certain problems. When twisting the waist, it will also pull the wound and cause problems that this device cannot solve. At the same time, the entire device structure is too bulky and not convenient to use. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a surgical incision protection device for thoracic surgery patients to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A surgical incision protection device for thoracic surgery patients includes a shoulder restraint mechanism, a connecting diagonal strap, a wound protection mechanism, and a lower limb fixing triangular pants;

[0006] The shoulder restraint mechanism includes two shoulder surrounding closed-loop straps that pass through the arms and are fixed on the shoulders. The two shoulder surrounding closed-loop straps are fixedly connected through an integrated back connecting strap. The integrated back connecting strap is located on the back. The other ends of the two shoulder surrounding closed-loop straps are detachably connected through a detachable buckle. The detachable buckle is located at the front chest. After being fixed by the detachable buckle, the shoulder surrounding closed-loop straps form two symmetrical triangular fixing areas on the front chest and back respectively;

[0007] The lower limb fixing triangular pants are fixedly connected to the shoulder restraint mechanism through four connecting diagonal straps. Two limit lockers for winding and limiting the connecting diagonal straps are fixedly connected to the sides of the lower limb fixing triangular pants. The two limit lockers on the same side are monitored through a data collector. The monitoring data of the data collector is transmitted to a monitoring calculator for data analysis and processing. One end of the connecting diagonal strap is fixedly connected to the bottom of the integrated back connecting strap or the detachable buckle. The other end of the connecting diagonal strap is wound inside the limit locker. The shoulder restraint mechanism, the connecting diagonal strap, and the lower limb fixing triangular pants form two symmetrical triangular areas on the front chest and back of the patient respectively;

[0008] The wound protection mechanism is located between the connecting diagonal strap and the body, and includes a sterile protection surface in contact with the wound, and non-injury area support ribs fixedly connected to the sterile protection surface away from the wound area, the non-injury area support ribs are in contact with the connecting diagonal strap, and the sterile protection surface is fixed by a fixing bandage, and the fixing bandage is located on the back.

[0009] As a further solution of the present invention: the detachable buckle is fixedly connected to the closed-loop belt around the shoulder through a chest connecting buckle belt, and the monitoring computer is fixedly connected to the surface of the chest connecting buckle belt.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention: the internal rotation of the limit lock is connected with a winding sleeve, and the winding sleeve is rotationally connected to the limit lock via a rotation data collector, and the rotation data collector is used to detect the rotation angle of the winding sleeve, and the rotation data collector is connected to the data collector signal, and the data collector compiles the rotation information of the four rotation data collectors at the same time and transmits it to the monitoring computer.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: the top of the winding sleeve is an open structure, the top surface of the inner wall of the limit lock is fixedly connected to a center rod, the center rod is located at the center of the winding sleeve, the inner wall of the winding sleeve is provided with a thread, a linkage slider is slidably connected to the center rod, and the outer wall of the linkage slider is provided with an external thread that cooperates with the inner thread of the winding sleeve cavity.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention: a groove is provided on the surface of the central rod, a damping spring is fixedly connected in the groove, and the linkage slider is elastically slidably connected to the central rod via the damping spring.

[0013] As a further solution of the present invention: the surface of the central rod is slidably connected with a resistance block that cooperates with the linkage slider through a limit sliding mechanism, and the top of the limit lock is provided with an adjustment end that controls the limit sliding mechanism.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The lower limb fixing briefs are located below. The lower limb fixing briefs have two leg binding parts. When the shoulder binding mechanism and the lower limb fixing briefs are stretched by the connecting diagonal belts, the connecting diagonal belts can effectively limit the change in the distance between the shoulder binding mechanism and the lower limb fixing briefs. In order to make the movement restrictions more diverse, the number of connecting diagonal belts is four. The connecting diagonal belts obliquely pass through the front torso or the back from the side of the lower limb fixing briefs to the front of the chest to be fixed to the buckle belt. At this time, the shoulders form a fixed area close to an isosceles triangle around the closed-loop belt, and the connecting diagonal belts and the shoulder binding mechanism form another triangular area. Due to the characteristics of the triangle, when the patient bends forward or backward, the distance between the shoulder binding mechanism and the lower limb fixing briefs on the side close to the bending direction decreases, while the distance between the shoulder binding mechanism and the lower limb fixing briefs on the side far from the bending direction increases. At this time, the connecting diagonal belts on the side far from the bending direction are stretched. At this time, both the forward and backward bending of the patient will be affected, and the same is true for lateral bending, which will also be affected by the pulling of the connecting diagonal belts. Even when the waist is twisted, the connecting diagonal belts still play a pulling role, so as to ensure that the patient can move in a relatively safe position. The structure is simple and lightweight, which will not affect the patient's life, and at the same time can avoid the pain caused by excessive movement amplitude affecting the wound traction.

[0016] The limit lock mainly completes the winding and limiting of the connecting diagonal belts. When limiting, only the rotation angle of the winding sleeve in the limit lock needs to be restricted. When the four limit locks rotate at the same time, different rotation situations can reversely reflect the patient's movement actions, movement amplitudes and movement frequencies. At this time, after being monitored by the data collector, the data is processed and transmitted to the monitoring calculator. By the monitoring calculator, the number of movements, movement frequencies and movement amplitudes of the patient in one cycle can be obtained, so as to make the rehabilitation guidance for the patient more targeted.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-4 :

[0024] It includes a shoulder restraint mechanism 1, a connecting inclined belt 2, a wound protection mechanism 3, and a lower limb fixing triangular pants 4;

[0025] The shoulder restraint mechanism 1 includes two shoulder surrounding closed-loop belts 11 that pass through the arms and are fixed on the shoulders. The two shoulder surrounding closed-loop belts 11 are fixedly connected through an integrated back connecting belt 14. The integrated back connecting belt 14 is located on the back. The other ends of the two shoulder surrounding closed-loop belts 11 are detachably connected through a dismounting buckle 13. The dismounting buckle 13 is located at the chest front. After the shoulder surrounding closed-loop belt 11 is fixed through the dismounting buckle 13, two symmetrical triangular fixing areas are formed on the chest front and the back respectively;

[0026] The shoulder restraint mechanism 1 mainly forms a fulcrum above the chest of the patient. Since there are multiple surgical external wound points on the front chest, the shape of the shoulder restraint mechanism 1 can be various. When there is a trauma wound on the front chest of the patient, the fixing position of the chest front connecting buckle belt 12 is above the shoulder surrounding closed-loop belt 11. At this time, the fixing point of the dismounting buckle 13 will not affect the front chest wound of the patient. And the areas below the chest, abdomen, and sides are the frequent operation areas of surgical external wounds. Therefore, the present invention mainly explains it in the way that the chest front connecting buckle belt 12 is located at the front chest.

[0027] The lower limb fixing briefs 4 are located below. The lower limb fixing briefs 4 have two leg binding parts. When the shoulder binding mechanism 1 and the lower limb fixing briefs 4 are stretched by the connecting diagonal strap 2, the connecting diagonal strap 2 can effectively limit the change in the distance between the shoulder binding mechanism 1 and the lower limb fixing briefs 4. In order to make the movement restriction more diversified, the number of the connecting diagonal straps 2 is four. The connecting diagonal straps 2 obliquely pass through the front trunk or the back from the side of the lower limb fixing briefs 4 to be fixed at the chest connecting buckle belt 12. At this time, the shoulders form a fixed area close to an isosceles triangle around the closed-loop belt 11, and the connecting diagonal strap 2 and the shoulder binding mechanism 1 form another triangular area. Due to the characteristics of the triangle, when the patient bends forward or backward, the distance between the shoulder binding mechanism 1 and the lower limb fixing briefs 4 on the side close to the bending direction decreases, while the distance between the shoulder binding mechanism 1 and the lower limb fixing briefs 4 on the side far from the bending direction increases. At this time, the connecting diagonal strap 2 on the side far from the bending direction is stretched. At this time, both the forward bending and backward bending of the patient will be affected. Similarly, the side bending will also be affected by the pulling of the connecting diagonal strap 2. Even when the waist is twisted, the connecting diagonal strap 2 still plays a pulling role, so as to ensure that the patient exercises in a relatively safe position, which will not only not affect the patient's life, but also avoid the pain caused by excessive movement amplitude affecting the wound.

[0028] At this time, the wound protection mechanism 3 is fixed in the patient area, limited by the connecting diagonal strap 2, and the non-wound area support rib 32 contacts with the connecting diagonal strap 2 to prevent the connecting diagonal strap 2 from directly acting on the sterile protection surface 31 and causing wound pain. The sterile protection surface 31 covers the patient's wound, and the fixing bandage 33 further fixes the sterile protection surface 31.

[0029] After the above introduction, how to improve the wearing convenience is a problem. Therefore, a disassembly buckle 13 is set. First, the chest connecting buckle belt 12 is connected through the disassembly buckle 13, so that the chest connecting buckle belt 12 is an open structure, and the integrated back connecting belt 14 is an integrally formed structure. When wearing, first wear the lower limb fixing briefs 4. After wearing, pass the arms through the closed-loop belt 11 around the shoulders, form a fixed point at the front chest through the chest connecting buckle belt 12, and fix it through the disassembly buckle 13 to complete the wearing.

[0030] The lower limb fixing briefs 4 and the shoulder restraint mechanism 1 are fixedly connected by four connecting diagonal bands 2. On the sides of the lower limb fixing briefs 4, two limit lockers 6 for winding and limiting the connecting diagonal bands 2 are fixedly connected. Between the two limit lockers 6 on the same side, they are monitored by a data collector 7. The monitoring data of the data collector 7 is transmitted to a monitoring calculator 5 for data analysis and processing. One end of the connecting diagonal band 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the integrated back connecting band 14 or the detachable buckle 13. The other end of the connecting diagonal band 2 is wound inside the limit locker 6. The shoulder restraint mechanism 1, the connecting diagonal band 2, and the lower limb fixing briefs 4 form two symmetrically distributed triangular areas on the front chest and back of the patient;

[0031] Although this device can effectively avoid the impact of movement on the wound, frequent movement is also not conducive to wound recovery. Therefore, the monitoring calculator 5, the limit locker 6, and the data collector 7 are provided;

[0032] In order to ensure a certain margin of movement area, the limit locker 6 mainly completes the winding and limiting of the connecting diagonal band 2. When limiting, it only needs to limit the rotation angle of the winding sleeve 61 inside the limit locker 6. When the four limit lockers 6 rotate at the same time, different rotation conditions can reversely reflect the patient's movement actions, movement amplitudes, and movement frequencies. At this time, after being monitored by the data collector 7, the data is processed and transmitted to the monitoring calculator 5. By the monitoring calculator 5, the number of movements, movement frequency, and movement amplitude of the patient within a cycle can be obtained, so as to make the rehabilitation guidance for the patient more targeted.

[0033] The wound protection mechanism 3 is located between the connecting diagonal band 2 and the body. The wound protection mechanism 3 includes a sterile protection surface 31 in contact with the wound, a non-wound area support rib 32 fixedly connected to the non-wound area away from the wound area on the sterile protection surface 31. The non-wound area support rib 32 is in contact with the connecting diagonal band 2. The sterile protection surface 31 is fixed by a fixing bandage 33. The fixing bandage 33 is located on the back;

[0034] The advantage of this design is that the influence on the patient's back is smaller, the hindrance when the patient lies down is smaller, and the patient is more comfortable.

[0035] The detachable buckle 13 and the shoulder surrounding closed-loop band 11 are fixedly connected by a chest connecting live buckle band 12. The monitoring calculator 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the chest connecting live buckle band 12;

[0036] By extending the end of the shoulder surrounding closed-loop band 11 through the chest connecting live buckle band 12, it is more convenient to fix the detachable buckle 13. At the same time, the chest connecting live buckle band 12 also provides a fixing point for the fixation of the connecting diagonal band 2.

[0037] Inside the limit lock 6, a winding sleeve 61 is rotatably connected. The winding sleeve 61 is rotatably connected to the limit lock 6 through a rotation data collector 62. The rotation data collector 62 is used to detect the rotation angle of the winding sleeve 61. The rotation data collector 62 is signal-connected to a data collector 7. After sorting out the rotation information of the four rotation data collectors 62 at the same time, the data collector 7 conveys it to the monitoring calculator 5;

[0038] The above describes the methods of limiting and monitoring. Therefore, implementation is required. First, a winding sleeve 61 is provided at the limit lock 6. The top of the winding sleeve 61 is an open structure, while the bottom of the winding sleeve 61 is connected through a rotation data collector 62. The rotation angle of the winding sleeve 61 is monitored through the rotation data collector 62. The rotation angle of the rotation data collector 62 is monitored through the data collector 7. A timer is provided inside the data collector 7. According to the time of the timer, the collected data of the four rotation data collectors 62 are processed, so that the movement amplitude of the patient within a unit time can be judged. Through the time, the movement times and movement frequencies of the patient can be judged.

[0039] The top of the winding sleeve 61 is an open structure. The top surface of the inner wall of the limit lock 6 is fixedly connected with a central rod 63. The central rod 63 is located at the center of the winding sleeve 61. Threads are provided on the inner wall of the winding sleeve 61. A linkage slider 66 is slidably connected to the central rod 63. External threads matching the internal threads in the cavity of the winding sleeve 61 are provided on the outer wall of the linkage slider 66;

[0040] Since the number of rotation turns of the torsion spring is limited by the material, and in order to avoid affecting the wearing due to excessive volume, the upper part of the winding sleeve 61 is an open structure. The central rod 63 is fixed inside the limit lock 6. The central rod 63 is located at the center of the winding sleeve 61. When the winding sleeve 61 rotates, relative sliding occurs between the internal threads of the winding sleeve 61 and the linkage slider 66. The linkage slider 66 can only slide axially along the central rod 63. Therefore, the linkage slider 66 slides up and down inside the central rod 63 under the influence of the threads. The up and down sliding distance of the linkage slider 66 can reflect the number of rotation turns of the winding sleeve 61.

[0041] A groove is provided on the surface of the central rod 63. A damping spring 64 is fixedly connected inside the groove. The linkage slider 66 is elastically slidably connected to the central rod 63 through the damping spring 64;

[0042] On the above basis, the damping spring 64 can apply an elastic force to the linkage slider 66, so that when the winding sleeve 61 rotates, it will be affected by the damping spring 64, thereby realizing reset.

[0043] The surface of the center rod 63 is slidably connected with a resisting block 67 that resists and cooperates with the linkage slider 66 through a limit sliding mechanism 65. The top of the limit lock 6 is provided with an adjustment end 68 that controls the limit sliding mechanism 65.

[0044] A limit sliding mechanism 65 is provided on the center rod 63. The limit sliding mechanism 65 is a screw sliding mechanism. The adjustment end 68 is fixed to one end of the screw of the limit sliding mechanism 65. After the screw of the limit sliding mechanism 65 is rotated by controlling the adjustment end 68, the distance of the resistance block 67 is adjusted. The distance of the resistance block 67 can limit the sliding distance of the linkage slider 66, thereby limiting the number of rotations of the winding sleeve 61, thereby playing a role in limiting the movement.

[0045] What has been described above are only preferred specific implementations of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
