[0028] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer sides of the two clips 4 are rotatably connected to the protective cover 2 via the connecting shaft 10, and the inner sides of the two protective covers 2 are provided with multiple air cushions 24, and the free ends of the air cushions 24 are connected to the connecting frame 25, and the connecting frame 25 and the air cushion 24 are in contact with the outer side of the elastic bandage 6.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an air pump 12 is provided on the outside of the two reels 3, and the output end of the air pump 12 is connected to an air guide tube 15. The free ends of the two air guide tubes 15 are respectively connected to two air cushions 24 located on opposite sides, and all air cushions 24 located on the same side are connected through a connecting tube 11.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a through hole 22 is provided on the air cushion 24, and the through hole 22 is not connected to the air cushion 24. The opposite ends of the two protective covers 2 are connected to the arc plates 5, and the inner sides of the two arc plates 5 are provided with a clamping block 21, and the clamping block 21 and the through hole 22 are arranged at the same horizontal height.

[0031] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the opposite ends of the two arc-shaped plates 5 are in contact with each other, a sliding groove 28 is provided on the outer side of the arc-shaped plate 5, and an arc-shaped card 19 is provided in each of the two sliding grooves 28. A retaining plate 17 is slidably provided on the outer side of the two arc-shaped cards 19, and one end of the two retaining plates 17 is squeezed and contacted.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a connecting sleeve 20 is provided on the inner side of the two arc-shaped plates 5. The two connecting sleeves 20 are respectively connected to the rotating shaft 18 through a torsion spring. A pair of first pressure plates 16 are connected to the outer side of each rotating shaft 18. One side of the two first pressure plates 16 is in contact with the outer side of the elastic bandage 6.

[0033] like Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the outer side of the rotating shaft 18 not connected to the first pressing plate 16 is connected to the second pressing plate 26 through a connecting plate 27. The second pressing plate 26 is clamped between the two first pressing plates 16, and one side of the second pressing plate 26 contacts the outer side of the elastic bandage 6.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a pressure block 13 is screwed onto the outer side of the clamp 4 , one end of the pressure block 13 is coaxially connected to a knob 14 , and the free end of the pressure block 13 is flush with the inner side of the clamp 4 .

[0039] The compression component provided in the present invention can stretch the two ends of the elastic bandage 6, so that the elastic bandage 6 always maintains the pressure on the patient's surgical incision position. At the same time, a connecting frame 25 and an air cushion 24 are provided on the outside of the elastic bandage 6 to compress the outside of the elastic bandage 6, so that the device can adapt to the neck sizes of different patients while further preventing the elastic bandage 6 from slipping when the patient moves. When the patient uses the device to compress the neck incision, the pad 7 is placed on the back of the patient's neck, and the retractor 3 is pulled outward and the elastic bandage 6 is inserted between the two clips 4. After fixing the two ends of the elastic bandage 6 by the pressing block 13, the position of the elastic bandage 6 is adjusted so that the memory foam 8 is placed in front of the patient's neck, avoiding the elastic bandage 6 on male patients. The Adam's apple produces excessive pressure, and then the protective cover 2 can be rotated along the outside of the clip 4 to make the curved plates 5 set at one end of the protective cover 2 contact each other. First, adjust the position of the first pressure plate 16 and the second pressure plate 26, so that the first pressure plate 16 and the second pressure plate 26 respectively press the front side of the elastic bandage 6, and then lock the position of the two curved plates 5 through the retaining plate 17. Finally, debug and start the two air pumps 12. The air pump 12 will inflate the air cushions 24 on the inside of the two protective covers 2 through the airway 15, so that the air cushions 24 expand to different degrees to adapt to the patient's neck size. For patients with lymphatic fistula, the compression clamps 29 connected on both sides of the pad 7 by the connecting rope are clamped to the suprasternal fossa position on the side where the patient has lymphatic fistula.
