Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical technology, specifically to a medical temperature control device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Cold compress therapy is a physical therapy method that involves placing a cold object (such as an ice pack or a damp towel) on a part of the body to cause local capillaries to constrict, thereby achieving effects such as heat dissipation, cooling, hemostasis, pain relief, and prevention of swelling. It can be used for acute injuries, post-operative care, and body cooling. Hot compress therapy involves placing a hot object (such as a hot water bottle, a hot towel, or an electric blanket) on a specific part of the body to transfer heat and produce various beneficial physiological effects. Hot compresses can dilate blood vessels in local tissues, increase blood flow, thereby improving blood circulation, providing tissues with more oxygen and nutrients, and also helping to eliminate metabolic waste.

[0003] A multifunctional medical cryotherapy device with application number 201922229313.5 is composed of ice pack sleeves, elastic bands, ice packs, connecting patches, and a temperature monitor. The elastic bands are used to connect the ice pack sleeves to form a structure that is easy for patients to wear at fracture sites and is a single-wrap structure. The ice pack sleeves are rectangular tubular structures. Because they are composed of multiple ice pack sleeves with rectangular tubular structures, the structure is refined, so that ice packs can be added in a targeted manner according to the fracture sites of patients.

[0004] A medical lower limb cryotherapy device with an alarm function, application number 201721151478.X, includes an ice pack sleeve, an ice bag inside the ice pack sleeve, a protective layer fixedly connected to the front of the ice pack sleeve, an elastic bandage fixedly connected to the left side of the ice pack sleeve, a hanging block fixedly connected to the left side of the elastic bandage, a hook fixedly connected to the left side of the hanging block, a binding strap fixedly connected to the right side of the ice pack sleeve, a hanging ring fixedly connected to the right side of the binding strap, and an alarm device installed inside the binding strap.

[0005] However, in cases of limb fractures and large-area soft tissue injuries, there are issues with the device not fitting properly, the temperature required for treatment cannot be adjusted or kept constant, and it cannot be used simultaneously for temperature-controlled treatment of large areas of the body and limbs. Furthermore, most current devices can only perform cold therapy or hot compresses, resulting in a limited range of usage modes. Summary of the Invention
