Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical supplies technology, and in particular to a disposable bandage for use after circumcision that facilitates urination. Background Technology

[0002] Circumcision is a routine minimally invasive surgery for the clinical treatment of phimosis and paraphimosis. Postoperative wound care is a key aspect of ensuring healing and reducing complications. Disposable bandages are the core medical supplies for wound hemostasis and protection, and their appropriateness directly affects the patient's postoperative recovery experience and rehabilitation effect.

[0003] Currently, most commonly used post-circumcision bandages are of a plain, flat structure, lacking a design specifically adapted to the urethra. This presents several nursing challenges: First, they easily compress the urethra. When bandaging with a flat bandage, it is difficult to leave adequate space in the urethral area. Bandaging too tightly can directly compress the urethra, causing difficulty urinating, urinary stream splitting, and in severe cases, urinary retention. Bandaging too loosely cannot effectively stop bleeding, easily leading to incision bleeding and edema. Second, bandaging and fixation are inconvenient. Traditional bandages have uniform edge thickness, and when wrapped in a ring around the incision, the edges easily wrinkle and fall off, making it difficult to fit tightly to the skin. Furthermore, overlapping can easily create bulges, compressing local tissues and exacerbating patient discomfort. Third, they have poor skin compatibility. Long-term wear can easily cause friction with the skin around the incision, leading to redness, itching, and even skin damage, affecting incision healing.

[0004] Therefore, a disposable bandage for post-circumcision use that facilitates urination is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a disposable bandage for use after circumcision that facilitates urination, aiming to solve or improve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution: The present invention provides a disposable bandage for post-circumcision surgery that facilitates urination, comprising a bandage body, wherein two symmetrically arranged flexible protrusions are fixedly installed on the bandage body, a urination interval is provided between the two flexible protrusions, and a hydrocolloid dressing layer is fixedly connected to the surface of the flexible protrusions. The thickness of the flexible protrusion is set to X, and the value of X approaches zero along the direction in which the two flexible protrusions move away from each other.

[0007] According to the present invention, a disposable bandage for post-circumcision is provided to facilitate urination, wherein the maximum value of X is 0.5 cm.

[0008] According to the present invention, a disposable bandage for post-circumcision is provided to facilitate urination, wherein the length of the urination interval is 0.8cm to 1.2cm.

[0009] According to the present invention, a disposable bandage for post-circumcision is provided to facilitate urination, wherein the flexible raised strip is made of silicone.

[0010] According to the present invention, a disposable bandage for post-circumcision is provided to facilitate urination, wherein the length of the flexible raised strip is 2cm to 5cm.

[0011] According to the present invention, a disposable bandage for post-circumcision is provided to facilitate urination, wherein the width of the bandage body is 3cm to 6cm.

[0012] According to the present invention, a disposable bandage for post-circumcision is provided to facilitate urination, wherein the bandage body has a plurality of ventilation holes.

[0013] According to the present invention, a disposable bandage for post-circumcision is provided to facilitate urination, wherein the width of the flexible raised strip is 0.5cm to 1.5cm.

[0014] The present invention discloses the following technical effects: This invention forms a urination interval between two symmetrical flexible protrusions. When bandaging, the urination interval precisely corresponds to the urethral position, which can effectively avoid the bandage compressing the urethra, reserve a stable and smooth urination channel, protect the urethra from damage, improve the patient's postoperative urination experience, and reduce the incidence of complications. This invention achieves a thin edge by making the thickness X of the flexible raised strip approach zero along the direction in which the two raised strips move away from each other. When the flexible raised strip is wrapped in a ring around the incision, the thinned edge is easy to fix and overlap, and it is not easy to wrinkle or fall off. It can fit tightly to the skin and achieve a firm fixation. The two flexible raised strips can effectively compress and achieve hemostasis of the incision, taking into account both hemostasis effect and bandaging comfort, and improving the stability of nursing care. This invention utilizes a hydrocolloid dressing layer that possesses excellent skin compatibility, breathability, and absorbency. This reduces friction between the bandage and the skin around the incision, preventing redness, itching, and damage. It also absorbs small amounts of exudate from the incision, keeping it dry and clean, preventing infection, and providing a favorable environment for wound healing. The flexible raised strip is soft and can cushion external pressure, further reducing postoperative discomfort and improving wearing comfort. Attached Figure Description

[0015] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0016] Fig. 1 This is the front view of the present invention; Fig. 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the present invention.

[0017] The components include: 1. the bandage body; 2. the flexible raised strip; 3. the urination interval; and 4. the hydrocolloid dressing layer. Detailed Implementation

[0018] 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.

[0019] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] Reference Figs. 1-2 The present invention provides a disposable bandage for use after circumcision to facilitate urination, including a bandage body 1, two symmetrically arranged flexible protrusions 2 fixedly installed on the bandage body 1, a urination interval 3 between the two flexible protrusions 2, and a hydrocolloid dressing layer 4 fixedly connected to the surface of the flexible protrusions 2. Let the thickness of the flexible protrusion 2 be X, and let the value of X approach zero along the direction in which the two flexible protrusions 2 move away from each other; With this configuration, the present invention forms a urination interval 3 between two symmetrical flexible protrusions 2. When bandaging, the urination interval 3 precisely corresponds to the urethral position, which can effectively prevent the bandage from squeezing the urethra, reserve a stable and smooth urination channel, protect the urethra from damage, improve the patient's postoperative urination experience, and reduce the incidence of complications. The present invention achieves this by making the thickness X of the flexible raised strip 2 approach zero along the direction in which the two raised strips move away from each other. That is, the edge of the flexible raised strip 2 is thin. When the incision is wrapped in a ring, the thinned edge is easy to fix and overlap, and it is not easy to wrinkle or fall off. It can fit tightly to the skin and achieve a firm fixation. The two flexible raised strips 2 can effectively compress and achieve hemostasis of the incision, taking into account both hemostasis effect and bandaging comfort, and improving the stability of nursing care. The present invention utilizes a hydrocolloid dressing layer 4, which has good skin compatibility, breathability, and water absorption. This reduces friction between the bandage and the skin around the incision, preventing redness, itching, and damage. It also absorbs small amounts of exudate from the incision, keeping the incision dry and clean, preventing infection, and providing a good environment for incision healing. The flexible raised strip 2 is soft in texture and can cushion external pressure, further reducing postoperative discomfort for patients and improving wearing comfort.

[0021] The design was further optimized, with a maximum value of X of 0.5cm. This ensures effective pressure in the middle of the flexible raised strip 2, achieving precise hemostasis of the incision and preventing incision bleeding and edema. Simultaneously, it avoids excessive local pressure due to excessive thickness, reducing postoperative discomfort and heaviness in the patient. The maximum thickness of 0.5cm conforms to the physiological contour, preventing noticeable protrusions after bandaging, thus not affecting the patient's daily activities, and balancing hemostasis, urination, and wearing comfort.

[0022] Further optimization of the design resulted in a urination interval 3 with a length ranging from 0.8cm to 1.2cm, with 1cm being the preferred length in this embodiment. This provides sufficient yet non-redundant urination space, preventing bandage compression of the urethra, ensuring smooth urination, and effectively preventing postoperative complications such as difficulty urinating, urine stream splitting, and urinary retention. The preferred 1cm size balances adaptability and stability, accommodating the urethral width of most patients while preventing excessive space that could lead to insecure bandage fixation and insufficient incision compression. It also avoids urine leakage that could contaminate the incision, reducing the risk of infection. The length can be fine-tuned within a limited range according to clinical needs, adapting to patients of different ages and body types, thus improving the product's versatility and clinical applicability.

[0023] The design was further optimized by using a silicone flexible protrusion strip 2; Silicone material boasts excellent softness and elasticity, allowing it to closely conform to the skin, cushioning external pressure and effectively reducing postoperative incision pain and swelling, while preventing skin damage from friction caused by hard materials. Simultaneously, silicone exhibits good biocompatibility and breathability, with no allergic or irritating reactions even after long-term wear, meeting the needs of long-term postoperative care. Its waterproof and impermeable properties reduce urine and exudate seepage, keeping the incision dry and clean, and lowering the risk of infection. Furthermore, silicone material is wear-resistant and not easily deformed, maintaining the raised strip shape for a long time to ensure stable urination intervals and hemostatic compression effects.

[0024] The design was further optimized so that the length of the flexible protrusion 2 is 2cm to 5cm.

[0025] Further optimization of the design resulted in a bandage body 1 with a width of 3cm to 6cm.

[0026] The design has been further optimized by adding several ventilation holes to the bandage body 1.

[0027] The design was further optimized so that the width of the flexible protrusion 2 is 0.5cm to 1.5cm.
