Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermal pad technology, specifically an integrated thermal positioning pad for neonatal X-ray imaging. Background Technology

[0002] Newborns, especially those in the NICU, are extremely sensitive to changes in ambient temperature because their thermoregulatory centers are not fully developed, their body surface area is relatively large, and their subcutaneous fat layer is thin. During imaging examinations such as X-rays, these infants typically need to be removed from the incubator and exposed to the examination environment. If placed directly on a cold examination table or hard mat, the low temperature can easily lead to rapid heat loss, inducing a series of adverse reactions such as hypothermia, metabolic disorders, and respiratory distress, negatively impacting the newborn's life safety and disease diagnosis.

[0003] To address the need for warmth during neonatal radiography, current techniques typically employ methods such as warming pads, blankets, or temporary coverings. However, these methods generally have the following drawbacks: Firstly, some warming materials contain metal fibers or high-density fillers, which can easily create artifacts or obscure anatomical structures under X-ray irradiation, affecting image quality and diagnostic accuracy. Secondly, temporary blankets are prone to shifting during the procedure, requiring medical staff to make repeated adjustments, which is cumbersome, increases workload, and prolongs the infant's exposure time. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an integrated heat-preserving and positioning pad for neonatal X-ray imaging, which has the advantages of stable heat preservation and assisting in body positioning.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1: Please see Figures 1-5 This invention discloses an integrated heat preservation and positioning pad for neonatal X-ray imaging. Its main body is a base pad 1 made of medical-grade polymer foam material. The medical-grade polymer foam material is preferably polyurethane foam or medical-grade EVA foam material. It has uniform density, does not contain metal or high-density filler, and has good X-ray radiation transmission performance and heat insulation performance. It can reduce the impact of external low temperature on neonates while ensuring imaging quality. like Figure 4 As shown, a functional pad 2 is covered on the top surface of the base pad 1, and a covering layer 3 is covered on the top surface of the functional pad 2. A body position mark is provided on the top surface of the functional pad 2. The body position mark can be distinguished by color, surface embossing or concave-convex structure. It does not participate in X-ray imaging and is only used for manual positioning reference. The cover layer 3 is removable and made of a transparent material that is transparent and allows radiation to pass through. The transparent material is preferably medical-grade TPU film, which has good optical transparency, making it easy to observe with the naked eye, and good X-ray transmittance, so that it will not produce artifacts or obstructions in the image. As a result, medical staff can directly observe the position markings located below the cover layer 3 and perform positioning operations without removing the cover layer 3, which improves the intuitiveness and accuracy of position adjustment. At the same time, the removable cover layer 3 is also easy to clean or replace, thereby effectively avoiding the risk of cross-infection. Specifically, the functional pad 2 is attached to the top surface of the base pad 1, and the cover layer 3 is attached to the top surface of the functional pad 2.

[0021] In this embodiment, a heating component is also integrated within the base pad 1, specifically, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the heating component is a flexible planar heater 5, preferably using a carbon-based flexible heating film. The carbon-based flexible heating film is evenly distributed in a planar shape and has no metal heating wires. It can achieve uniform heating of the whole body when energized, avoiding local overheating. It is installed in the mounting groove 4 opened on the top surface of the base pad 1. In addition, several temperature sensors 6 are evenly installed in the mounting slot 4. The temperature sensors 6 are located on the top surface of the flexible surface heater 5. The output end of the temperature sensor 6 is electrically connected to the main control board. The output end of the main control board is electrically connected to the input end of the flexible surface heater 5. By integrating a flexible surface heater 5 into the base pad 1, and forming a closed-loop temperature control structure with multiple temperature sensors 6 and a main control board, the surface temperature of the pad can be stably maintained within the safe body temperature range of 36.5℃-37.5℃ for newborns. This provides a continuous and stable temperature environment for newborns during radiography, effectively avoiding hypothermia, respiratory distress, and other problems caused by heat loss, and improving the safety of X-ray radiography operations.

[0022] The main control board can be set with a dual overheat protection mechanism according to actual needs. For example, when the temperature sensor 6 detects that the temperature exceeds the preset safety limit, the heating output will be automatically cut off; the power will be cut off directly when the control circuit is abnormal or the temperature sensor 6 fails. The entire heating component preferably adopts a low voltage power supply, preferably 12V or below DC power supply, and a waterproof encapsulation structure is set on the outside of the circuit to prevent liquid from seeping in and affecting electrical safety. The specific circuit structure is a conventional temperature acquisition and heating control circuit in this field, which is a mature existing technology, so it will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0023] Example 2: Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 Based on Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, side wing plates 7 are provided on both sides of the base pad 1 along its length. Each side wing plate 7 has at least two through slots 8, preferably six. Body positioning belt 1 9 is connected to one through slot 8, and body positioning belt 2 10 is connected to another through slot 8. Posture band 210 can be as follows Figure 5 The position shown is achieved by attaching the newborn to the positioning strap 9 with Velcro, thereby fixing the newborn's body position. In this embodiment, the end of the positioning belt 9 or the positioning belt 10 can pass through the slot 8 and be pasted onto itself in the opposite direction, thereby fixing the position of the positioning belt 9 or the positioning belt 10.

[0024] Preferably, the positioning belt 9 and the positioning belt 10 use flexible polymer webbing or TPU composite webbing, and a cushioning layer is provided on the side in contact with the skin to distribute the force and avoid compressing the skin, so as to achieve stable fixation of the limb while taking into account comfort.

[0025] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
