Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of postoperative care technology, specifically a fixation device for postoperative care in thyroid and breast surgery. Background Technology
[0002] Thyroid and breast-related surgeries are common surgical procedures. During the postoperative wound healing stage, the patient's neck rotation, flexion and extension, as well as shoulder abduction and elevation, can easily pull on the surgical wound. This can not only cause severe pain but also lead to wound dehiscence, bleeding, delayed wound healing, and even increase the risk of wound infection. Therefore, scientific and effective postoperative positioning of the patient's neck and shoulders is a key aspect of postoperative care in thyroid and breast surgery.
[0003] Currently, in clinical practice, neck and shoulder immobilization for patients after thyroid or breast surgery often involves wrapping with ordinary bandages, using a general-purpose neck brace in conjunction with simple shoulder straps. This type of immobilization has several drawbacks: First, the general-purpose immobilization devices lack a targeted structural design, making it impossible to achieve coordinated positioning of the neck and shoulder. Immobilization of a single area is prone to losing its positioning effect due to limb movement, still causing traction on the wound. Second, the flexibility in adjusting the tightness of the fixation is poor. If the bandage is wrapped too tightly, it can compress local blood vessels and nerves, affecting blood circulation; if it is too loose, it cannot achieve effective positioning and is difficult to adapt to patients with different neck circumferences and shoulder widths, resulting in poor universality. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fixation device for postoperative care in thyroid and breast surgery, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0028] The connecting strap has a hook-shaped structure at one end that engages with a slot, and a hook-shaped structure at the other end that engages with a strap, and multiple sets of hook-shaped structures are provided.
[0029] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution: the fixing strap includes a zipper and is disposed at the opening in the middle of the fixing strap.
[0030] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0031] 1. In this invention, the shoulder adjustment and limiting mechanism and the neck adjustment and limiting structure are integrated by connecting components to achieve synchronous linkage and limiting of the neck and shoulders. At the same time, the shoulder can be adjusted for tightness by hook one and multiple sets of fixing rings one. The neck can increase or decrease the number of limiting blocks and adjust the enclosure degree by hook two and multiple sets of fixing rings two. It can accurately restrain excessive movement of the neck, shoulders and upper limbs, reduce wound traction from the root, and adapt to the neck and shoulder size of patients with different body types. It has strong versatility and provides a stable positional environment for postoperative wound healing.
[0032] 2. Among them, a first buffer layer made of medical breathable sponge composite medical non-woven fabric is set on the inner side of the fixing band, and a second buffer layer is set on the inner side of the limiting block. Ventilation holes are opened at corresponding positions. The buffer layer disperses the fixing pressure to avoid compressing the skin, blood vessels and nerves, while the ventilation holes ensure air circulation in the wearing area, reducing problems such as skin stuffiness, allergies and pressure sores. It meets medical hygiene standards and greatly improves the comfort and safety of patients wearing it for a long time.
[0033] 3. A zipper is installed at the opening in the middle of the fixation strap. When checking the wound or changing dressings after surgery, there is no need to disassemble the entire device. Simply unzip the device to expose the surgical area and complete the nursing operation. This greatly reduces the secondary traction and stimulation to the wound caused by repeated disassembly and assembly, and reduces the risk of wound dehiscence. At the same time, all parts of the device are connected by hooks and snaps, making disassembly, assembly and adjustment easy. This not only reduces the patient's postoperative pain, but also improves the operation efficiency of nursing staff. Attached Figure Description

[0050] Example
[0051] Please see Figures 1-8 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a fixation device for postoperative care in thyroid and breast surgery, comprising:
[0052] Fixing strap 1, used to restrict shoulder movement;
[0053] The shoulder adjustment limiting mechanism includes a fixing ring 201 fixedly arranged on one side of the fixing strap 1, which is used to limit the adjustment of the fixing strap 1;
[0054] The neck adjustment and limiting structure includes a limiting block 301 arranged above the fixing strap 1 for limiting the movement of the neck;
[0055] The locking component includes a strap 401 arranged on the outside of the limiting block 301 for assembling the limiting block 301 into a whole;
[0056] A connecting component for connecting the shoulder adjustment limiting mechanism and the neck adjustment limiting structure.
[0057] It should be noted that the fixation strap 1 provides basic restriction for the shoulder, the shoulder adjustment and limiting mechanism limits the adjusted fixation strap 1 through the fixing ring 201, the neck adjustment and limiting structure restricts neck movement through the limiting block 301, the locking component combines the limiting block 301 into a whole through the strap 401, and the connecting component connects the shoulder adjustment and limiting mechanism and the neck adjustment and limiting structure to form an integrated neck and shoulder fixation system, realizing coordinated fixation of the neck and shoulder, restricting neck and shoulder movement, avoiding traction on the wound, and providing a positional constraint basis for postoperative wound healing.
[0058] In this embodiment, specifically: the shoulder adjustment limiting mechanism further includes: hook 202, which is fixedly arranged on one side of the other end of the fixing strap 1, for connecting the two ends of the fixing strap 1, and hook 202 is hooked on the fixing ring 201; buffer layer 203, which is disposed on the inner side of both ends of the fixing strap 1; and ventilation hole 204, which is opened on the fixing strap 1 at the position corresponding to the buffer layer 203.
[0059] The hook 202 attaches to the fixing ring 201 to connect the two ends of the fixing strap 1 and adjust the tightness. The buffer layer 203 fits against the shoulder skin to form a buffer, and the ventilation hole 204 ensures air circulation at the contact area of the fixing strap 1. This allows for flexible adjustment of the shoulder fixing tightness to adapt to different shoulder circumferences, avoids the fixing strap 1 from compressing the skin, improves the breathability and comfort of wearing, and reduces the traction on the wound from upper limb movements.
[0060] In this embodiment, specifically: the fixing ring 201 is semi-circular in shape, and multiple sets are provided.
[0061] In addition, the fixing ring 201 is designed as a semi-circular ring and multiple sets are arranged to match the hooking action of the hook 202. The hook 202 can select different fixing rings 201 to realize multiple levels of adjustment of the tightness of the fixing strap 1, improve the stability of the hook 202, prevent it from falling off, make the shoulder fixing tightness adjustment more precise and flexible, adapt to different shoulder widths and body types, and enhance the versatility of the device.
[0062] In this embodiment, specifically: the material of the buffer layer 203 is medical breathable sponge composite medical non-woven fabric.
[0063] It should also be understood that the buffer layer 203 is made of medical breathable sponge composite medical non-woven fabric. Utilizing the soft cushioning, skin-friendly, breathable and antibacterial properties of the material, it conforms to the shoulder skin to form a protective layer, disperses the pressure of the fixation strap 1, avoids compressing the skin and surrounding tissues, reduces skin allergies and stuffiness, meets medical hygiene standards, reduces the risk of skin infection, and improves long-term wearing comfort.
[0064] In this embodiment, specifically: the neck adjustment limiting structure further includes: a second buffer layer 302, which is disposed on the inner side of the limiting block 301; a second ventilation hole 303, which is opened and arranged on the limiting block 301 for ventilation when worn; and a connecting ring 304, which is disposed on the outer side of the limiting block 301 away from the second buffer layer 302.
[0065] Among them, the second buffer layer 302 conforms to the neck skin to form a buffer, the second vent 303 allows the neck wearing area to breathe, and the connecting ring 304 provides a point for the strap 401 to pass through, so that the strap 401 can be combined and fixed by the connecting ring 304 to prevent the limiting block 301 from compressing the neck wound and surrounding skin, relieve the stuffiness at the neck wearing area, provide stable support for the neck limiting structure combination, ensure the effectiveness of neck limiting, and reduce the traction of neck movement on the wound.
[0066] In this embodiment, specifically: the limiting block 301 has an arc-shaped plate structure and multiple sets are provided.
[0067] It should be noted that the limiting block 301 is designed as an arc-shaped plate structure to fit the physiological curve of the neck. Multiple sets of limiting blocks 301 are arranged, and the neck enclosure and fixing size can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of limiting blocks 301, so that the limiting block 301 fits the neck more tightly, improves the neck fixing stability, prevents the limiting block 301 from shifting, realizes personalized adaptation of neck size, adapts to different neck thicknesses, and enhances the versatility of the device.
[0068] In this embodiment, specifically: the locking component further includes: a second fixing ring 402, which is disposed on the side of the strap 401 away from the limiting block 301, for connecting the two ends of the strap 401; and a second hook 403, which is fixedly disposed on one end of the strap 401, for cooperating with the second fixing ring 402 to connect the two ends of the strap 401, and the second hook 403 is snapped onto the second fixing ring 402.
[0069] It should also be understood that after the strap 401 passes through the connecting ring 304 of each limiting block 301, the hook 2 403 is fastened to the fixing ring 2 402 to connect and tighten the two ends of the strap 401, combining multiple sets of limiting blocks 301 into a whole to form a neck enclosure structure. Adjusting the position of the hook 2 403 can adjust the tightness of the neck fixation, quickly assemble and fix the limiting blocks 301, firmly connect to prevent them from falling off, flexibly adjust the tightness of the neck fixation, ensure the neck limiting effect, avoid compressing the neck blood vessels and nerves, and ensure smooth blood circulation in the neck.
[0070] In this embodiment, specifically: multiple sets of fixing rings 402 are arranged around the outside of the strap 401.
[0071] In addition, multiple sets of fixing rings 402 are arranged around the outside of the strap 401, and hooks 403 can be selected to buckle the fixing rings 402 at different positions to achieve multiple levels of precise adjustment of the tightness of the neck bandage. This increases the number of neck tightness adjustment levels, making the adjustment more precise, adapting to different neck circumferences and different recovery stages after surgery, and improving the flexibility of the device.
[0072] In this embodiment, specifically: the connecting component includes: a slot 501, which is provided at the bottom of the fixing strap 1; a connecting strap 502, one end of which has a hook-like structure that engages with the slot 501, and the other end of which has a hook-like structure that engages with the binding strap 401, and multiple sets of such straps are provided.
[0073] Among them, one end of the connecting strap 502 has a hook-shaped structure that engages with the slot 501, and the other end has a hook-shaped structure that engages with the strap 401. Multiple sets of connecting straps 502 connect the shoulder adjustment and limiting mechanism and the neck adjustment and limiting structure to achieve neck and shoulder limiting linkage, forming a stable connection support. The neck and shoulder limiting structures are linked synchronously to restrict the range of neck and shoulder movement as a whole, avoid excessive movement of a single part pulling on the wound, improve the overall fixation and stability, and make disassembly and adjustment convenient.
[0074] In this embodiment, specifically: the fixing strap 1 includes a zipper 6, which is disposed at the opening in the middle of the fixing strap 1.
[0075] It should also be understood that the zipper 6 is located at the opening in the middle of the fixation strap 1. After wearing, unzipping the zipper 6 can open a partial opening on one side of the fixation strap 1 to expose the surgical wound area. Wound inspection and dressing change can be completed without disassembling the entire device, reducing the secondary traction and stimulation to the wound caused by repeated disassembly and assembly, reducing the risk of wound dehiscence and pain, and making nursing operations more convenient. The rest of the device maintains its limiting effect.
[0076] Working principle or structural principle: In use, the fixation strap 1 provides basic restriction to the patient's shoulder (a medical sponge pad can be placed in the chest surgical area where the fixation strap 1 is attached). The hook-202 at one end of the fixation strap 1 is hooked onto multiple sets of semi-circular ring fixation rings-201 at the other end, which can flexibly adjust the tightness of the fixation strap 1 to suit patients with different shoulder widths. A medical sponge pad can also be placed in the chest surgical area where the fixation strap 1 is attached. The buffer layer-203 on the inner side of the fixation strap 1 fits the skin, and with the corresponding ventilation holes-204, it avoids the fixation strap 1 from compressing the shoulder skin and ensures breathability. At the same time, this structure restricts excessive abduction and elevation of the shoulder and upper limb, reducing the traction on the breast or neck wound caused by upper limb movement.
[0077] Multiple sets of arc-shaped plate-like limiting blocks 301 are arranged around the patient's neck. The connecting rings 304 of each limiting block 301 are threaded through the outer strap 401, and the limiting blocks 301 are assembled into a whole to form a neck enclosure structure. The hook 403 at one end of the strap 401 can be hooked onto the multiple sets of fixing rings 402 on its outer side to achieve precise adjustment of the tightness of the neck enclosure. At the same time, the number of limiting blocks 301 can be increased or removed according to the thickness of the patient's neck to further improve the neck fit. The buffer layer 302 on the inner side of the limiting block 301 fits the neck skin and, together with the ventilation holes 303, avoids compressing the surgical wound on the neck, while restricting excessive neck movements such as rotation, head drooping, and head raising to prevent traction on the neck wound.
[0078] The shoulder adjustment and limiting mechanism and the neck adjustment and limiting structure are connected as a whole by the connecting components. The hook-shaped structures at both ends of the connecting strap 502 are respectively engaged with the slot 501 at the bottom of the fixing strap 1 and the neck strap 401. Multiple sets of connecting straps 502 form a stable connection support, so that the neck and shoulder limiting structures move in sync. When the patient turns over, sits up or moves slightly, the range of motion of the neck and shoulder is restricted as a whole, avoiding wound traction caused by excessive range of motion of a single part, and ensuring the integrity and stability of the fixation.
[0079] The fixation strap 1 has a zipper 6 at the opening in the middle. After wearing the strap, if the user needs to check the wound, change the dressing, or perform wound care, they can directly make a partial opening on one side of the fixation strap 1 through the zipper 6 without removing the entire device. This allows the surgical area to be exposed for care, greatly reducing the secondary traction and irritation to the wound caused by repeated disassembly and reassembly of the device, and improving the convenience and safety of care.
