Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical devices, in particular to a compression and fixation vest for use after cardiac pacemaker implantation. Background Art

[0002] Pacemaker implantation is an important treatment for heart diseases such as arrhythmias. After the surgery, effective compression and hemostasis are required to prevent bleeding and oozing. The implanted pacemaker must also be properly secured to ensure optimal surgical outcomes and patient recovery.

[0003] Traditionally, placing sandbags on the wound is often used to apply pressure to stop bleeding. However, this method has obvious flaws. On the one hand, the sandbag is easily displaced as the patient's body position changes or daily activities, and it is unable to continuously and stably apply effective pressure to the wound, resulting in a significant reduction in the compression effect, increasing the risk of bleeding and oozing of blood from the wound, which may affect the normal healing of the wound and prolong the patient's recovery time. On the other hand, the weight of the sandbag is fixed, and it is difficult to flexibly adjust it according to the individual differences and actual needs of the patient. The pressure may be too strong, causing discomfort to the patient, or too weak, failing to achieve the ideal hemostatic effect.

[0004] In some cases, simple bandages are used to bandage and secure the wound for compression. However, this method often makes it difficult to precisely control the pressure, and the bandage can easily loosen, especially after the patient sweats or moves around, causing the compression effect to become unstable. Furthermore, bandages have poor breathability, and prolonged use can easily cause the skin around the wound to become stuffy and damp, increasing the risk of skin allergies and infections, and causing unnecessary pain to the patient.

[0005] Currently, pacemaker fixation methods are relatively simple, lacking specialized fixation devices. During postoperative patient activity, the pacemaker may shift due to shaking, which not only affects the pacemaker's normal performance but also causes friction and damage to surrounding tissues, causing discomfort and pain for the patient. Further surgery may even be required to adjust the pacemaker's position, placing additional physical and financial burdens on the patient.

[0006] The existing technology lacks a device that combines effective compression and hemostasis with stable pacemaker fixation, and also has significant deficiencies in comfort, adjustability, and breathability. This leads to numerous inconveniences and potential risks for patients during their recovery after pacemaker implantation. Therefore, the development of a novel post-pacemaker compression and fixation device has important clinical significance and practical application value. Therefore, we have made improvements to this problem and proposed a post-pacemaker compression and fixation vest. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to address the problems raised by the existing background technology. In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a compression and fixation vest for post-pacemaker implantation, comprising a vest assembly, a multifunctional fixing pocket and a hemostatic dressing, wherein the vest assembly comprises a vest body, the vest body is provided with a Velcro tape that can adjust the size of the clothes, the multifunctional fixing pocket is provided on the left front side of the vest body, a compression and hemostatic sandbag or an inflatable bag can be placed inside the multifunctional fixing pocket, the inflatable bag is connected to a hand-pressed inflatable structure, and the bottom surface of the left front side of the vest body that contacts the skin is provided with the hemostatic dressing.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the Velcro includes a vest front Velcro arranged on the front of the vest body and a vest back Velcro arranged on the back of the vest body. The vest front Velcro and the vest back Velcro cooperate with each other to adjust the size of the vest body.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the multifunctional fixed pocket is provided with an opening, and a zipper or Velcro structure for closing the opening is provided at the opening.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, an elastic fixing belt for fixing a compression hemostatic sandbag or an inflatable bag is provided inside the multifunctional fixing pocket.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the hand-pressed inflation structure includes an inflation tube connected to the inflation bag and a hand-pressed air bag provided at the end of the inflation tube, and a one-way valve is provided on the inflation tube.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the vest body is made of breathable fabric, and the breathable fabric is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the hemostatic dressing has a multi-layer structure, including a skin-friendly layer close to the skin, a middle hemostatic layer and an outer protective layer.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the shoulders of the vest body are provided with adjustable shoulder straps, and the length of the adjustable shoulder straps can be adjusted by buckles or Velcro.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, an elastic waistband is provided at the waist of the vest body, and the elastic waistband is used to further fix the vest body and enhance the fit.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, it also includes a pressure monitoring device, which is arranged in the multifunctional fixed pocket and is used to monitor the pressure of the hemostatic sandbag or the inflatable bag on the wound in real time.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, this invention offers significant advantages: a multifunctional fixed pocket secures a compression hemostatic sandbag or inflatable bladder to the left front side of the vest body. The vest body can be adjusted to the patient's body size using Velcro closures on the front and back, ensuring a close fit. Furthermore, adjustable shoulder straps and an elastic waistband further enhance the vest's stability, ensuring the compression area always accurately aligns with the wound, preventing ineffective compression due to displacement and creating optimal conditions for wound healing.

[0018] The multifunctional fixed pocket can hold a compression sandbag, leveraging its own weight for compression, or an inflatable bag, with pressure adjusted by manually pressing the inflatable structure. Medical staff can flexibly select the appropriate compression method based on the patient's specific condition and needs, and even adjust the compression intensity at any time if necessary, to achieve the optimal treatment effect and meet the personalized needs of different patients.

[0019] The left front side of the vest, where it contacts the skin, is covered with a hemostatic dressing. This dressing is typically multi-layered, consisting of a skin-friendly layer, a hemostatic layer, and a protective layer. When bleeding occurs, the skin-friendly layer reduces irritation to the patient's skin, improving comfort. The hemostatic layer quickly absorbs blood and promotes clotting, effectively reducing bleeding. The protective layer prevents external contaminants from contacting the wound, reducing the risk of infection. This provides comprehensive protection for the wound and helps it heal faster.

[0020] The vest is made of breathable fabric and features ventilation holes, ensuring breathability while worn, reducing stuffiness and discomfort. Adjustable shoulder straps and an elastic waistband allow the vest to fit the patient's body, enhancing comfort and making postoperative recovery more relaxed and comfortable, encouraging active cooperation with treatment and promoting recovery.

[0021] If equipped with a pressure monitoring device, medical staff can monitor the pressure applied to the wound by the hemostatic sandbag or inflatable bag in real time. If inappropriate pressure is detected, timely adjustments can be made to ensure optimal compression, further improving the accuracy and effectiveness of treatment and reducing the risk of complications caused by improper compression.

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. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features and technical solutions in the embodiments can be combined with each other. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0029] Example 1: A compression and fixation vest for post-pacemaker implantation surgery, comprising a vest assembly, a multifunctional fixing pocket 2, and a hemostatic dressing. The vest assembly comprises a vest body 1, provided with a Velcro strip for adjusting the size of clothing. The multifunctional fixing pocket 2 is located on the left front side of the vest body 1. A compression and hemostatic sandbag or an inflatable bag can be placed inside the multifunctional fixing pocket 2, and the inflatable bag is connected to a hand-pressed inflatable structure. A hemostatic dressing is provided on the bottom surface of the left front side of the vest body 1 that contacts the skin. The Velcro strips include a front Velcro strip 3 located on the front of the vest body 1 and a back Velcro strip 4 located on the back of the vest body 1. The front Velcro strip 3 and the back Velcro strip 4 cooperate to adjust the size of the vest body 1. The multifunctional fixing pocket 2 has an opening, which is provided with a zipper or Velcro structure for closing the opening. An elastic fixing strap is provided inside the multifunctional fixing pocket 2 for securing the compression and hemostatic sandbag or inflatable bag. The hand-pressed inflation structure includes an inflation tube 51 connected to the inflation bag and a hand-pressed air bag 52 provided at the end of the inflation tube 51. The inflation tube 51 is provided with a one-way valve 53. The vest body 1 is made of breathable fabric with a plurality of ventilation holes provided on the breathable fabric.

[0030] The hemostatic dressing is a multi-layer structure, including a skin-friendly layer close to the skin, a middle hemostatic layer, and an outer protective layer. The shoulders of the vest body 1 are provided with adjustable shoulder straps, and the length of the adjustable shoulder straps can be adjusted by buckles or Velcro. The waist of the vest body 1 is provided with an elastic waist belt, which is used to further fix the vest body 1 and enhance the fit. The pressure monitoring device is located in the multifunctional fixed pocket 2, which is used to monitor the pressure of the hemostatic sandbag or inflatable bag on the wound in real time.

[0031] The working principle of the post-pacemaker compression vest: The vest body 1 is equipped with adjustable Velcro straps, including Velcro 3 on the front and Velcro 4 on the back. Medical staff will put the vest body 1 on the patient according to their specific body shape and then flexibly adjust the size of the vest by attaching Velcro 3 and Velcro 4 on the back. This ensures that the vest fits the patient tightly and comfortably, ensuring stability during subsequent compression operations and preventing looseness that could affect the compression effect.

[0032] A multifunctional fixed pocket 2 is located on the left front side of the vest body 1. When a sandbag is needed for compression and hemostasis, the medical professional places it into the multifunctional fixed pocket 2. Because the multifunctional fixed pocket 2 is tightly connected to the vest body 1 and the vest body 1 conforms to the patient's body, the sandbag can precisely target the wound site where the pacemaker is implanted. Furthermore, because the sandbag is secured within the pocket, it is less prone to movement as the patient moves, ensuring a stable compression effect and reducing bleeding and oozing.

[0033] If pneumatic compression is required according to the patient's condition, the medical staff will place the compression inflatable airbag 5 in the multifunctional fixed pocket 2. The compression inflatable airbag 5 is connected to the hand-pressure inflation structure, which consists of an inflation tube 51 connected to the inflation bag and a hand-pressure airbag 52 provided at the end of the inflation tube 51. The inflation tube 51 is also provided with a one-way valve 53. The medical staff manually squeezes the hand-pressure airbag 52, and the gas enters the compression inflatable airbag 5 through the inflation tube 51 and the one-way valve 53, causing the airbag to expand and exert pressure on the wound. The function of the one-way valve 53 is to prevent gas backflow and ensure that the pressure in the compression inflatable airbag 5 is stable. This inflation compression method can flexibly adjust the intensity of compression according to the actual needs of the patient by controlling the number and strength of squeezing the hand-pressure airbag 52.

[0034] A hemostatic dressing is provided on the bottom surface of the left front side of the vest body 1 that contacts the skin. When bleeding occurs at the pacemaker implantation site, the hemostatic dressing will immediately take effect. The hemostatic dressing is usually a multi-layer structure, including a skin-friendly layer close to the skin, a middle hemostatic layer, and an outer protective layer. The skin-friendly layer can reduce irritation to the patient's skin and improve the patient's comfort; the middle hemostatic layer contains special hemostatic ingredients or uses materials with hemostatic functions, which can quickly absorb blood and promote coagulation, thereby effectively reducing wound bleeding; the outer protective layer can prevent external pollutants from contacting the wound, thereby protecting the wound.

[0035] The shoulders of the vest body 1 are provided with adjustable shoulder straps, the length of which can be adjusted by buckles or Velcro. The adjustable shoulder straps can further fix the position of the vest, making it less likely to slide up and down during the patient's activities, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the compression position. At the same time, the waist of the vest body 1 is provided with an elastic waist belt, which can enhance the fit between the vest and the patient's body, reduce the possibility of the vest swaying left and right, and improve the overall stability. In addition, if the vest is equipped with a pressure monitoring device, it will monitor the pressure of the hemostatic sandbag or inflatable bag on the wound in real time and feed the data back to the medical staff. The medical staff can adjust the compression intensity in time according to the monitoring results to achieve the best compression treatment effect.

[0036] This compression and fixation vest after pacemaker implantation achieves stable, flexible and effective wound compression and hemostasis functions through the coordinated work of various components, providing strong protection for the patient's postoperative recovery.

[0037] The following describes the working process of a compression vest for post-pacemaker implant surgery: Medical personnel first adjust the size of the vest body 1 based on the patient's body shape. They then affix the Velcro strips 3 on the front and 4 on the back of the vest body 1 until the vest fits snugly and comfortably. This ensures the vest will not loosen or shift during subsequent use, providing effective compression for the wound.

[0038] Based on the patient's specific condition and the doctor's advice, decide whether to use sandbag compression or pneumatic compression. If sandbag compression is chosen, prepare a sandbag of appropriate weight for hemostasis. If pneumatic compression is chosen, ensure that the compression and inflatable airbag 5 and its connected manual pressure inflation structure, including the inflation tube 51, manual pressure airbag 52, and one-way valve 53, are intact and functioning properly.

[0039] If sandbag compression is used, the compression and hemostatic sandbag is placed in the multifunctional fixed pocket 2 located on the left front side of the vest body 1; if pneumatic compression is used, the compression and inflatable airbag 5 is placed in the multifunctional fixed pocket 2. An elastic fixing belt can be provided inside the multifunctional fixed pocket 2 to further fix the compression and hemostatic sandbag or the compression and inflatable airbag 5 and prevent it from shaking inside the pocket.

[0040] Help the patient put on the adjusted vest body 1, ensuring that the multifunctional fixed pocket 2 accurately aligns with the pacemaker implant wound. Also, adjust the adjustable shoulder straps on the vest body 1 using buckles or Velcro to adjust their length so that they fit the patient's shoulders and prevent the vest from sliding up and down. Also, fasten the elastic waistband at the waist of the vest body 1 to ensure a tight fit and minimize side-to-side movement.

[0041] When using a compression hemostatic sandbag, since the sandbag is fixed in the multifunctional fixing pocket 2 and the vest fits tightly against the patient's body, the sandbag will continuously apply stable pressure to the wound, effectively reducing bleeding and oozing. During the patient's daily activities, the sandbag will not be easily displaced as with traditional placement methods, ensuring the continuity and stability of the compression effect.

[0042] When using the compression and inflatable bag 5 for compression, the medical professional manually squeezes the hand-pressed bag 52 in the hand-pressed inflatable structure. Gas enters the compression and inflatable bag 5 through the inflation tube 51 and the one-way valve 53, causing it to expand and exert pressure on the wound. Based on the patient's tolerance and actual needs, the medical professional can flexibly adjust the pressure of the compression and inflatable bag 5 by controlling the number and force of squeezing the hand-pressed bag 52. The presence of the one-way valve 53 prevents gas from flowing back, maintaining a stable pressure within the compression and inflatable bag 5.

[0043] When bleeding occurs at the pacemaker implant site, the hemostatic dressing on the left front side of the vest body 1, which contacts the skin, comes into play. This hemostatic dressing typically has a multi-layer structure. The skin-friendly layer, which is closest to the skin, reduces irritation. The middle hemostatic layer contains special hemostatic ingredients or uses materials with hemostatic properties to quickly absorb blood and promote coagulation. The outer protective layer prevents external contaminants from contacting the wound, protecting it from infection.

[0044] If the vest is equipped with a pressure monitoring device, it will monitor the pressure applied to the wound by the hemostatic sandbag or the inflatable airbag 5 in real time and provide feedback to the medical staff. Based on the monitoring results, the medical staff will determine whether the current compression force is appropriate. If the pressure is too high or too low, the medical staff can adjust the compression method accordingly. If pneumatic compression is used, the pressure of the inflatable airbag 5 can be adjusted by further squeezing or releasing some gas. If sandbag compression is used, consider replacing sandbags of different weights.

[0045] After the prescribed compression period, the medical staff first checks the wound for bleeding and oozing. If the wound is in good condition, they first open the multifunctional fixed pocket 2 (which may have a zipper or Velcro structure), remove the hemostatic sandbag, or release the air in the compression inflatable airbag 5. Then, they unfasten the Velcro closures 3 and 4 on the front and back of the vest, as well as the adjustable shoulder straps and elastic waistband, and carefully remove the vest from the patient. Finally, they clean and disinfect the vest for future reuse.

[0046] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present invention. Although this specification has described the present invention in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above specific implementation methods. Therefore, any modification or equivalent replacement of the present invention; and all technical solutions and improvements thereof that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention are included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
