Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical dressing technology, and in particular to a temperature-adjustable menstrual-inducing dressing. Background Technology

[0002] Amenorrhea is a common symptom in clinical gynecology, with diverse causes including endocrine disorders, cold uterus, and insufficient qi and blood. It not only affects the patient's normal menstrual cycle but may also be accompanied by discomfort such as abdominal pain and lower back pain, severely impacting the patient's quality of life. Currently, adjunctive methods for inducing menstruation in amenorrhea mainly include oral medications, moxibustion, and hot compresses. However, oral medications may have side effects such as gastrointestinal irritation, and moxibustion is complex to perform, requires professional guidance, and is subject to significant space limitations, making it difficult to meet the needs of patients for daily home use.

[0003] Most existing heat-based menstrual-inducing products are disposable hand warmers, which lack temperature adjustment and are prone to causing burns from excessive heat or ineffective menstrual-inducing effects from insufficient heat. Furthermore, these products often lack medication support, limiting their effectiveness, and their poor adhesion makes them prone to falling off, failing to precisely target the crucial periumbilical area (which has numerous acupoints; targeted heat combined with medication can enhance menstrual-inducing effects). Additionally, while some medical dressings have a medicated layer, they lack heating functionality, hindering the full penetration and absorption of the medication, further reducing their effectiveness.

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention proposes a menstrual induction patch with reasonable structure, small size, adjustable temperature, good fit, and combined heating and drug-assisted effects. It can avoid side effects and achieve precise, efficient and convenient menstrual induction, meeting the needs of patients for home and daily use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing menstrual induction products, such as non-adjustable temperature, low efficiency, poor fit, and inconvenience of use. It provides a temperature-adjustable menstrual induction patch that achieves precise temperature adjustment, targeted drug penetration, and comfortable fit around the navel through a layered composite structure design. The patch is compact, small in size, easy to operate, and has no side effects. It is suitable for patients with amenorrhea as the main complaint for adjunctive menstrual induction treatment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An adjustable temperature menstrual-inducing patch, wherein the patch has a layered composite structure, consisting of a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer fixedly connected from the outside to the inside, with the edges of each layer sealed together to form an integrated structure; The first layer is a control layer, which integrates a charging module, a temperature regulation module, a heating module, and a main control chip. The charging module is a micro lithium battery, and the temperature regulation module is electrically connected to the main control chip to achieve temperature regulation. The heating module is a flexible heating element used to uniformly release heat. The second layer is a dressing layer, which is wrapped with a medical mesh, and the mesh is made of breathable non-woven fabric. The third layer is an isolation layer, which is a gauze diaphragm coated with medical-grade low-sensitivity pressure-sensitive adhesive on its inner side. It is used to adhere the dressing to the skin around the navel and to separate the dressing layer from the skin.

[0007] Furthermore, the control layer is made of a flexible waterproof material.

[0008] Furthermore, the overall size of the dressing is 5cm×7cm-7cm×9cm, and the edges are designed with rounded corners.

[0009] Furthermore, the temperature adjustment module can achieve temperature adjustment within the range of 35℃-42℃, and the surface of the control layer is provided with a micro adjustment button and a temperature display light for controlling the temperature level and indicating the current temperature range.

[0010] Furthermore, the charging module is equipped with a hidden charging interface.

[0011] Furthermore, the heating module uses a flexible graphene heating sheet, which is attached to the inner side of the control layer.

[0012] Furthermore, the dressing is a traditional Chinese medicine composition for inducing menstruation.

[0013] Furthermore, the mesh is made of breathable non-woven fabric.

[0014] Furthermore, the isolation layer is covered with a release film.

[0015] A temperature-adjustable menstrual-inducing patch, which is applied around the navel when in use.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. Adjustable temperature and high safety: This invention, through the cooperation of the temperature regulation module in the control layer and the main control chip, can achieve precise temperature regulation within the range of 35℃-42℃, avoiding the problems of excessively high temperature causing skin burns and excessively low temperature failing to achieve the desired menstrual-inducing effect, thus improving the safety of use.

[0017] 2. High efficiency in inducing menstruation with no side effects: The "heating + traditional Chinese medicine" synergistic effect is adopted. The heat released by the heating module can promote the activation and penetration of the traditional Chinese medicine ingredients in the dressing layer, which can be targeted to the acupoints around the navel to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, warm the meridians and dispel cold, effectively assisting in inducing menstruation.

[0018] 3. Compact size and comfortable fit: The overall design is mini size, which can be attached to the periumbilical area. It fits precisely, is discreet and comfortable to wear, is not easy to fall off, and does not affect the patient's daily activities and use when going out.

[0019] 4. Easy to operate and energy-saving: The charging module uses a rechargeable micro lithium battery, which can be used repeatedly, saving energy and protecting the environment; no professional guidance is required, making it suitable for home use. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, 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. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0023] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] An adjustable temperature menstrual stimulation patch has a layered composite structure. The patch is similar in size to a hand warmer and has rounded edges. From the outside to the inside, it is fixedly connected as a first layer (control layer 100), a second layer (dressing layer 200), and a third layer (isolation layer 300). The edges of each layer are sealed together by heat pressing to form an integrated sealed structure to prevent displacement of internal components and leakage of the dressing.

[0025] The control layer 100 is made of flexible waterproof silicone material, which has good waterproofness, flexibility and wear resistance. The control layer 100 integrates a charging module, a temperature regulation module, a heating module and a main control chip. The components are electrically connected by flexible copper wires, and the layout is compact.

[0026] The charging module is a 500mAh micro lithium battery, which is small in size and can be recharged repeatedly. A hidden Type-C charging port is set on one side of the charging module, which is embedded inside the control layer 100.

[0027] The temperature control module uses a DS18B20 temperature sensor, which is electrically connected to the main control chip (STM32F103). It can detect the temperature of the heating module in real time and transmit the temperature signal to the main control chip. The main control chip controls the heating power of the heating module according to the detected temperature signal and the user-set level, realizing three-level adjustment within the range of 35℃-42℃.

[0028] The heating module uses a flexible graphene heating sheet, which is attached to the middle of the inner side of the control layer 100, corresponding to the dressing layer 200. It can release heat evenly, has high heat transfer efficiency, and is flexible enough to deform with human body movements.

[0029] The control layer 100 has a micro adjustment button 101 and a temperature indicator light on its front side. The micro adjustment button 101 is used to control the start and stop of the application and the switching of the intensity level (short press to start and stop, long press to switch the intensity level). The temperature indicator light corresponds to three temperature levels: low, medium and high, so that users can intuitively understand the working status of the application.

[0030] The dressing layer 200 is located between the control layer 100 and the isolation layer 300. The gynecologically stimulating Chinese medicine composition is wrapped in a mesh 201 made of medical breathable non-woven fabric. The mesh 201 has good breathability and drug permeability, which can prevent the leakage of Chinese medicine powder, while promoting heat transfer and drug penetration.

[0031] The herbal composition for promoting menstruation uses a combination of Chinese herbs such as Angelica sinensis, Leonurus japonicus, Carthamus tinctorius, Artemisia argyi, and Cyperus rotundus. It can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, warm the meridians and dispel cold, regulate qi and menstruation. It works synergistically with hot compress to enhance the effect of promoting menstruation.

[0032] The isolation layer 300 is made of medical gauze diaphragm, which has good breathability and softness, and fits the skin without any foreign body sensation. The inner side of the isolation layer 300 is evenly coated with a 0.05cm thick medical-grade low-sensitivity pressure-sensitive adhesive. The pressure-sensitive adhesive is an acrylic low-sensitivity adhesive, which is non-irritating and has moderate adhesion, ensuring that the application fits tightly to the skin around the navel, and leaves no residue or damage to the skin when it is removed.

[0033] How to use The method of using this dressing is as follows: Remove the release film from the outside of the isolation layer 300, align one side of the isolation layer 300 with the periumbilical area, and gently press to ensure that the patch adheres tightly to the skin without wrinkles or falling off; press the micro adjustment button 101 to select the appropriate temperature setting; turn off the power after use.

[0034] In summary, this invention has a compact structure, is easy to operate, is highly safe, and has no side effects. It can be used as an auxiliary tool to induce menstruation in amenorrhea patients, and is suitable for use at home and when going out, effectively improving the efficiency and comfort of inducing menstruation.

[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
