Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical and nursing equipment technology, specifically referring to a post-craniotomy nursing device. Background Technology

[0002] Craniotomy is a surgical procedure that exposes brain tissue by cutting through the scalp and skull. It is commonly used to treat brain tumors, cerebral hemorrhage, and traumatic brain injury—diseases requiring direct intervention in brain tissue. During the surgery, the surgeon removes a piece of skull to access the brain tissue. After the surgery, the skull is repositioned and secured with special screws or fixation devices. In the recovery phase, the craniotomy site needs frequent disinfection with antiseptic solutions and sometimes antibiotics to ensure proper wound healing. Each disinfection procedure requires nurses to manually remove dressings, disinfect, and then re-wrap the wound. This is tedious and inconvenient for nurses, and for patients, the repeated removal and re-wrapping of dressings and disinfection procedures can cause pain. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a post-craniotomy care device that can address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problems mentioned in the background section regarding the need for frequent wound disinfection after craniotomy, this invention provides a post-craniotomy care device. The technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:

[0004] A post-craniotomy care device includes an outer skeleton, an inner skeleton, a fluid supply device, a reservoir, and a flexible tube. Both the outer and inner skeletons are designed with edges curved towards the center, and there is a certain gap between the outer and inner skeletons. The end face of the outer skeleton near the inner skeleton has a mounting hole, and a movable tube clamp is installed in the mounting hole. The end of the movable tube clamp away from the inner skeleton is an open tube clamp that holds the flexible tube. The flexible tube and the movable tube clamp are both located in the gap between the outer and inner skeletons. Both ends of the flexible tube are connected to the fluid supply device, and the same side of the middle section of the flexible tube has a series of small spray holes.

[0005] Furthermore, the outer skeleton edge is fixedly attached to the inner skeleton edge to form a shape that fits the human head, and the gap between the outer skeleton and the inner skeleton is narrow at the edges and wide in the middle.

[0006] Furthermore, the outer skeleton has four mounting holes near the center of the inner skeleton end face, and the inner skeleton has an opening at its center. The opening is located in a square formed by the four mounting holes of the outer skeleton. The outer skeleton has observation ports arranged at equal intervals, and the inner skeleton has observation ports arranged at equal intervals except for the opening. The size of the observation ports is larger than the diameter of the hose.

[0007] Furthermore, the movable pipe clamp is installed at one end of the outer frame as a ball joint, and the ball joint end of the movable pipe clamp is installed in the mounting hole inside the outer frame. The other end of the movable pipe clamp clamps the hose by means of a clamp connection.

[0008] Furthermore, the liquid feeding device is hollow inside, with a partition in the middle. The left side of the partition is semi-open, and a control power supply is fixedly installed at the bottom right side of the partition. A self-priming pump is fixedly installed at the top of the control power supply. An infusion pipe is connected to the top of the self-priming pump, and a suction pipe is connected to the left side of the self-priming pump.

[0009] Furthermore, a liquid storage bottle is installed on the left side of the liquid supply device via a threaded connection. A return pipe is provided through the liquid supply device at the position corresponding to the mouth of the liquid storage bottle. A suction pipe is provided on the right side of the return pipe, extending into the liquid storage bottle near the bottom.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the tubing is inserted into and connected to the infusion tube, and the other end is inserted into and connected to the return tube, so that the medicine solution circulates between the storage bottle, the tubing, and the self-priming pump.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer skeleton, inner skeleton, movable clamps, and hoses are all made of highly flexible materials.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the post-craniotomy care device of the present invention are as follows:

[0013] By employing an inner and outer two-layer skeleton, with a ball joint connecting a movable tube clamp in the outer skeleton, and a flexible tube held in the tube clamp, the structure with liquid supply devices connected to both ends of the flexible tube, the problem of cumbersome procedures and varying degrees of pain to patients during the disinfection of the craniotomy line is solved. This achieves automatic disinfection of the craniotomy line and has the advantages of high efficiency and simple operation.

[0014] By installing a self-priming pump inside the liquid supply device, the hose connected to the self-priming pump can form a circulation loop with the liquid storage bottle, which solves the problems of liquid residue in the hose and the discomfort caused to the patient's head by gravity due to the residual liquid in the hose. The liquid supply device design with a replaceable liquid storage bottle solves the problem of the liquid supply device being difficult to replace with the medication, and achieves the effect of replacing the medication with a single device only by replacing the liquid storage bottle.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. 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] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a post-craniotomy care device includes an outer skeleton 1, an inner skeleton 2, a fluid supply device 3, a storage bottle 4, and a flexible tube 6. Both the outer skeleton 1 and the inner skeleton 2 are designed with edges bent towards the center, and there is a certain gap between the outer skeleton 1 and the inner skeleton 2. The end face of the outer skeleton 1 near the inner skeleton 2 is provided with a mounting hole 102. A movable tube clamp 5 is installed in the mounting hole 102. The end of the movable tube clamp 5 away from the inner skeleton 2 is a tube clamp with an opening. The tube clamp holds the flexible tube 6. The flexible tube 6 and the movable tube clamp 5 are both located in the gap between the outer skeleton 1 and the inner skeleton 2. Both ends of the flexible tube 6 are connected to the fluid supply device 3, and the same side of the middle section of the flexible tube 6 is provided with a series of small spray holes.

[0021] The outer skeleton 1 is fixedly attached to the edge of the inner skeleton 2 to form a shape that fits the human head, and the gap between the outer skeleton 1 and the inner skeleton 2 is narrow at the edge and wide in the middle; non-woven gauze that comes into direct contact with the patient's wound can be pasted and fixed on the inner side of the inner skeleton 2.

[0022] The outer skeleton 1 has four mounting holes 102 near the center of the end face of the inner skeleton 2. The inner skeleton 2 has an opening at its center, the position of which corresponds to the square formed by the four mounting holes 102 of the outer skeleton 1. The outer skeleton 1 has observation ports 101 arranged at equal intervals, and the inner skeleton 2 has observation ports 101 arranged at equal intervals except for the opening position. The size of the observation ports 101 is larger than the diameter of the tubing 6. Through the observation ports 101 at the top of the skeleton, it is possible to observe whether the non-woven gauze on the wound is stained with pus or blood oozing from the wound, and to observe the condition of the wound in real time. The tubing 6 can also enter the gap of the skeleton through the observation ports 101.

[0023] The movable tube clamp 5 is installed at one end of the outer frame 1 and is configured as a ball joint. The ball joint end of the movable tube clamp 5 is installed in the mounting hole 102 inside the outer frame 1. The tube clamp at the other end of the movable tube clamp 5 clamps the hose 6 by means of a clamp connection. The movable tube clamp 5 is installed by means of a ball joint connection. The direction of the preset small spray hole on the hose 6 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and the hose 6 can be disassembled and replaced.

[0024] The liquid supply device 3 is hollow inside, with a partition 301 in the middle. The left side of the partition 301 is semi-open, and a control power supply 306 is fixedly installed at the bottom right side of the partition 301. A self-priming pump 302 is fixedly installed at the top of the control power supply 306. An infusion tube 304 is connected to the top of the self-priming pump 302, and a suction tube 303 is connected to the left side of the self-priming pump 302. By using the self-priming pump 302 for liquid supply, the suction can be stopped when the operation such as disinfection of the wound is about to be completed, and the air in the self-priming pump 302 continues to deliver to the tubing 6, thereby draining all the medicine in the tubing 6.

[0025] A liquid storage bottle 4 is installed on the left side of the liquid supply device 3 via a threaded connection. A return pipe 305 is provided through the liquid supply device 3 at the position corresponding to the mouth of the liquid storage bottle 4. A suction pipe 303 is provided on the right side of the return pipe 305, which extends into the liquid storage bottle 4 near the bottom. By using the threaded connection to the liquid storage bottle 4, the medicine in the liquid storage bottle 4 can be replaced at any time as needed.

[0026] One end of the tubing 6 is inserted into and connected to the infusion tube 304, and the other end is inserted into and connected to the return tube 305. The medicine solution circulates between the storage bottle 4, the tubing 6, and the self-priming pump 302, thereby achieving the effect of recovering the medicine solution in the tubing 6 after disinfection and other operations are completed.

[0027] The outer skeleton 1, inner skeleton 2, movable tube clamp 5, and flexible tube 6 are all made of extremely flexible materials to prevent the device from accidentally hitting the patient's head and causing secondary injury.

[0028] The specific usage method is as follows: First, insert one end of the tubing 6 into the observation port 101 on the side of the outer skeleton 1. Then, pull the tubing 6 through the observation port 101 next to the inserted observation port 101 and pull it out. Fix one end of the tubing 6 to the infusion tube 304 and the other end to the return tube 305. Adjust the direction of the spray hole in the middle section of the tubing 6 and the movable tube clamp 5 so that the spray hole is adjusted so that the spray range completely covers the craniotomy line and its surrounding area. Secure the tubing 6 by clamping it into the movable tube clamp 5. Attach non-woven gauze to the end face of the inner skeleton 2 away from the outer skeleton 1, completely covering the opening of the inner skeleton 2. Gently slip the skeleton onto the patient's head, ensuring the non-woven gauze on the inner skeleton 2 is completely fitted to the patient's head, thus completing the skeleton installation. The medication to be used is poured into the storage bottle 4, and the storage bottle 4 is fixedly installed in the liquid supply device 3 by threads. When in use, the self-priming pump 302 is driven to draw the medication from the storage bottle 4 into the flexible tube 6. When the medication reaches the spray hole in the middle of the flexible tube 6, it is sprayed out through the spray hole and permeates through the non-woven gauze to disinfect the wound on the craniotomy line of the patient's head. After disinfection for a period of time, the self-priming pump 302 stops drawing medication from the storage bottle 4 and instead injects air into the flexible tube 6 until the medication in the flexible tube 6 is completely circulated back to the storage bottle 4, and then stops working. Moreover, the disinfectant used is a volatile disinfectant, so even if the non-woven gauze in contact with the wound is wetted during disinfection, the non-woven gauze can dry quickly after disinfection, keeping the wound dry and promoting wound healing. By using a skeleton to wrap the head and fix the tubing 6, using a liquid supply device 3 to deliver medication into the tubing 6 to spray the wound with medication, and using a self-priming pump 302 to circulate the residual medication in the tubing 6 to the storage bottle 4, the problem mentioned in the background technology is solved: "Each disinfection operation requires the nurse to manually remove the dressing from the wound, complete the disinfection and other operations, and then wrap the wound again. For nurses, this kind of work is tedious and troublesome, and for patients, the repeated removal and wrapping of dressings and disinfection operations will cause a certain degree of pain."

[0029] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive. The accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention. The actual structure is not limited to this. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this description and designs a similar structure and embodiment without departing from the spirit of the present invention, such design should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
