Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to postoperative care techniques for local surgery on the male scrotum, specifically to a wearable auxiliary fixation and care device for local surgery on the male scrotum. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, postoperative bleeding and swelling are common clinical complications after surgeries involving scrotal or testicular incisions, such as microsurgical sperm retrieval, testicular tumor resection, testicular tunica vaginalis eversion, and microsurgical vas deferens-epididymis anastomosis. Traditional hemostasis methods typically involve gauze packing or adhesive tape wrapping. However, the scrotum is difficult to fix due to its anatomical characteristics, often leading to uneven pressure, slippage, or skin allergies. Some existing literature and products attempt to achieve localized pressure through "compression underwear" or "scrotal support pads," but these still have the following shortcomings: they cannot achieve personalized matching with individual anatomical morphology, and they lack the ability to dynamically adapt to changes in body position and postoperative recovery stage.

[0003] To address these issues, those skilled in the art have proposed a wearable auxiliary fixation and care device for use after local surgery on the male scrotum. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wearable auxiliary fixation and care device for male scrotum after local surgery, in order to solve the problems of existing technologies that cannot achieve personalized matching with individual anatomical morphology and lack dynamic adaptive adjustment capabilities with changes in body position and postoperative recovery stage.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a wearable auxiliary fixation and care device for male scrotum local surgery, comprising a wearable body and a magnetic waistband. The wearable body is used to fit and fix the lower abdomen and groin area of ​​the human body. The magnetic waistband is connected to the waist area of ​​the wearable body and is used to wrap around the user's waist and achieve wearing and tightness adjustment through magnetic buckles. It also includes a support and care mechanism disposed on the wearable body corresponding to the scrotum area. The support and care mechanism is used to provide integrated support, fixation, and care for the scrotum surgical site. The support and care mechanism includes: an installation component, a care component, and a support component. The installation component is fixedly connected to the wearable body. The care component is detachably connected to the upper side of the installation component and is used to directly contact and cover the scrotum surgical wound. The support component is detachably connected to the lower side of the installation component and is used to provide adjustable lifting support for the scrotum from below. The support component includes a lower docking ring, an adjustable support plate, and a connecting spring. The care component includes an upper docking ring, a medical dressing, and a skin-friendly layer.

[0006] Furthermore, the mounting assembly includes: an upper mounting ring plate, a lower mounting ring plate, and a connecting rod; the upper mounting ring plate is connected to the nursing assembly; the lower mounting ring plate is connected to the support assembly; the connecting rod is located between the upper mounting ring plate and the lower mounting ring plate, and is used to fix the upper mounting ring plate and the lower mounting ring plate together.

[0007] Furthermore, the upper mounting ring plate is provided with a first snap-fit ​​interface, and the nursing component is provided with a first mating snap that cooperates with the first snap-fit ​​interface.

[0008] Furthermore, the lower mounting ring plate is provided with a second snap-fit ​​interface, and the support component is provided with a second mating snap-fit ​​that cooperates with the second snap-fit ​​interface.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting assembly also includes a mounting plate and a nickel-titanium shape memory alloy support ring. The nickel-titanium shape memory alloy support ring is embedded in the mounting plate. The mounting plate is located between the upper mounting ring plate and the lower mounting ring plate, and is fixedly connected to the upper mounting ring plate and the lower mounting ring plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper docking ring is used to connect with the mounting assembly; a breathable mesh plate is fixedly provided on the inner bottom of the upper docking ring, and several medical dressings are provided on the upper surface of the breathable mesh plate, with the medical dressing located inside the upper docking ring, the skin-friendly layer covering the outer side of the medical dressing, and the first docking buckle located at the bottom of the upper docking ring.

[0011] Furthermore, the lower docking ring is used to connect with the mounting assembly; the adjustable support plate is located in the middle of the inner side of the lower docking ring, the connecting spring is connected between the lower docking ring and the adjustable support plate, and the second docking buckle is located at the top of the lower docking ring.

[0012] Furthermore, the support assembly also includes an outer protective layer covering the outside of the adjustable support plate, and the support assembly also includes a first protective layer and a second protective layer, which are used to separate the care assembly and the support assembly from the installation assembly, respectively.

[0013] Furthermore, the main body of the wearable device and the magnetic waistband are integrally molded.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the wearable auxiliary fixation and care device for male scrotum after local surgery provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. By introducing a nickel-titanium shape memory alloy support ring as the core intelligent component of the installation assembly, the device can automatically deform according to the wearer's body temperature, precisely conforming to the individualized physiological curve of the user's scrotum. Combined with the elastic lifting force provided by the connecting spring in the support assembly, the device can not only provide uniform and stable support in a static state, but also dynamically adjust the shape of the support surface and the distribution of support force in real time when the user changes body position such as sitting, lying, standing or walking. This effectively solves the problems of uneven pressure and displacement caused by poor fit in traditional fixation methods.

[0016] 2. This invention integrates medical dressings, breathable mesh panels, and skin-friendly layers. The medical dressings can specifically absorb wound exudate, maintaining a suitable healing environment; the breathable structure ensures local dryness, reducing the risk of skin maceration and infection; the skin-friendly layer avoids friction and irritation with healthy skin; the outer protective layer of the support components and the protective layers at the connection points of each component further buffer pressure, improving overall wearing comfort. This integrated, layered design allows wound care and physical support functions to be both synergistic and independent, significantly improving the precision of care and the patient's comfort experience.

[0017] 3. The magnetic waist belt design makes it extremely easy to put on and take off, especially suitable for patients with limited mobility after surgery. Both the nursing and support components are quickly connected to the installation components through snap-on interfaces, enabling individual disassembly, replacement, cleaning, or disinfection of the modules. The support force of the support component can be changed by selecting different specifications of springs or simple mechanical adjustments, thereby flexibly adapting to the clinical needs of different recovery stages after surgery, greatly optimizing the nursing process, and reducing the maintenance costs of long-term use.

[0018] 4. This invention provides a uniform, controllable and adaptive upward lifting force, which helps to counteract gravity and promote the return of venous blood and lymph in the scrotal area, thereby effectively reducing postoperative edema and relieving pain. The stable fixation effect avoids wound traction caused by activity, which is conducive to hemostasis and tissue healing. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:

[0029] This invention provides a wearable auxiliary fixation and care device for male scrotum after local surgery, comprising a wearable main body and a magnetic waistband. The wearable main body is used to fit and fix the lower abdomen and groin area of ​​the human body. The wearable main body is preferably made of medical-grade cotton blend or soft polymer material with moderate elasticity and good breathability. Its shape conforms to the curves of the lower abdomen, groin, and groin, ensuring basic comfort and stability. The magnetic waistband is connected to the waist area of ​​the wearable main body and is used to wrap around the user's waist. Wearing and tightness adjustment are achieved through magnetic buckles. The magnetic waistband is integrally molded or securely sewn together, and has a built-in magnetic buckle. The material is typically medical-grade stainless steel or neodymium iron boron magnets with a soft coating, allowing for easy wear and fine-tuning without complicated operations. To meet the needs of different waist sizes and usage stages, the device also includes a support and care mechanism located in the area of ​​the wearable body corresponding to the scrotum. This support and care mechanism provides integrated support, fixation, and care for the surgical site on the scrotum. The support and care mechanism includes an installation component, a care component, and a support component. The installation component is fixedly connected to the wearable body. The care component is detachably connected to the upper side of the installation component to directly contact and cover the surgical wound on the scrotum. The support component is detachably connected to the lower side of the installation component to provide adjustable support for the scrotum from below. The support component includes a lower docking ring, an adjustable support plate, and a connecting spring. The care component includes an upper docking ring, a medical dressing, and a skin-friendly layer. The wearable body and the magnetic waistband are integrally molded.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present invention, the mounting assembly includes: an upper mounting ring plate, a lower mounting ring plate, and a connecting rod. The upper mounting ring plate is connected to the nursing assembly; the lower mounting ring plate is connected to the support assembly; the connecting rod is located between the upper mounting ring plate and the lower mounting ring plate, and is used to fix the upper mounting ring plate and the lower mounting ring plate together. The upper mounting ring plate, the lower mounting ring plate, and the connecting rod are made of lightweight and relatively rigid medical plastic or composite material. The support ring is made of nitinol alloy, which has superelasticity and shape memory properties, and can automatically undergo microscopic deformation according to the wearer's body temperature (the phase transition temperature is usually set in a range close to human body temperature), thereby enabling the entire support frame to... It adaptively conforms to the individual anatomical shape of the user's scrotum and provides continuous and gentle inclusive support in different body positions such as sitting, lying, and standing, achieving "dynamic fit". The upper mounting ring plate is provided with a first buckle interface, the nursing component is provided with a first docking buckle that mates with the first buckle interface, the lower mounting ring plate is provided with a second buckle interface, and the support component is provided with a second docking buckle that mates with the second buckle interface. The mounting component also includes a mounting plate and a nickel-titanium shape memory alloy support ring. The nickel-titanium shape memory alloy support ring is embedded in the mounting plate. The mounting plate is located between the upper mounting ring plate and the lower mounting ring plate and is fixedly connected to the upper mounting ring plate and the lower mounting ring plate.

[0031] During operation, the patient unfolds the main body of the wearable device, wraps the magnetic waistband around the waist, easily closes it with the magnetic buckle, and adjusts it to a comfortable tightness. The position of the main body of the wearable device is adjusted so that the entire support and care mechanism on it is aligned with the scrotal surgical area. When the user wears the device, their body temperature is transferred to the nickel-titanium shape memory alloy support ring in the mounting component. When the alloy reaches its phase transition temperature (set close to the range of human body temperature), it exhibits a superelastic or shape memory effect, driving the mounting plate and the entire support and care mechanism frame to undergo microscopic, compliant deformation. This process allows the support contour of the device to automatically "memorize" and conform to the user's unique scrotal anatomy, achieving an initial personalized match. More importantly, this adaptive capability is continuous. When the user changes position, the local pressure distribution changes, and the shape memory alloy will deform accordingly to adjust, always maintaining optimal contact between the frame and the body surface. This solves the problems of pressure point pain and displacement caused by rigid or non-fitting supports.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, the upper docking ring is used to connect with the mounting assembly; a breathable mesh plate is fixedly disposed on the inner bottom of the upper docking ring, and a plurality of medical dressings are attached to the upper surface of the breathable mesh plate, with the medical dressing located inside the upper docking ring, and the skin-friendly layer covering the outer side of the medical dressing. The first docking buckle is located at the bottom of the upper docking ring. The breathable mesh plate is made of medical silicone or flexible plastic, with evenly distributed ventilation holes on it to maximize air circulation while ensuring support. Above the breathable mesh plate... The dressing is fitted with a medical dressing, which may consist of a multi-layered structure, including a hydrophilic fiber layer that contacts the wound, a highly absorbent polymer core layer in the middle, and an anti-adhesion layer on the back. It is specifically designed to absorb exudate, keep the wound adequately moist, and prevent the dressing from adhering to new tissue. One or more medical dressings can be provided as needed for easy replacement. The outermost layer is covered with a skin-friendly layer, usually a soft non-woven fabric or silicone film, to avoid friction or allergies to the surrounding healthy skin. The entire care unit can be removed from the mounting unit as a whole, making it convenient to change the dressing regularly according to the doctor's orders and keep the wound clean.

[0033] During operation, the medical dressing in the nursing component continuously contacts and covers the wound, absorbing exudate, while the breathable mesh ensures air circulation, and the skin-friendly layer protects the surrounding skin.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, the lower docking ring is used to connect with the mounting assembly; the adjustable support plate is located at the inner middle of the lower docking ring, the connecting spring is connected between the lower docking ring and the adjustable support plate, the second docking buckle is located at the top of the lower docking ring, the support assembly further includes an outer protective layer, the outer protective layer covers the outer side of the adjustable support plate, the support assembly further includes a first protective layer and a second protective layer, the first protective layer and the second protective layer are respectively used to separate the care assembly and the support assembly from the mounting assembly, the support assembly is used to elastically lift the scrotum from below, reducing sagging discomfort and local edema caused by gravity, the adjustable support plate is usually a flexible medical plastic or silicone pad conforming to the physiological curvature of the scrotum, and the adjustable support plate is connected to the inner side of the lower docking ring by multiple connecting springs. Interlocking springs provide controllable, upward elastic support. Their stiffness coefficient is calculated by medical engineering to provide sufficient support while avoiding excessive pressure. The amount of support can be adjusted by selecting different spring sizes during initial installation or by designing an adjustment mechanism (such as a knob to change the spring preload) on the adjustable support plate. This adapts to different stages of postoperative care, from the initial stage (requiring stronger support to reduce swelling) to the later stage (requiring only gentle support). The outer side of the adjustable support plate is covered with an external protective layer, usually a smooth, soft, elastic fabric, to ensure comfort in contact with the inner thigh skin. A first protective layer and a second protective layer are respectively set at the joints of the installation components, care components, and support components. The protective layers use thin sponges or soft silicone pads to further cushion pressure, absorb trace amounts of sweat, and ensure a smooth and comfortable connection interface between the modules.

[0035] During operation, the connecting spring in the support assembly continuously provides a preset upward elastic lifting force, effectively reducing the feeling of scrotal sagging, promoting venous and lymphatic return, and relieving swelling.

[0036] Working principle: The patient unfolds the main body of the wearable device, wraps the magnetic waistband around the waist, and easily closes it with the magnetic buckle, adjusting it to a comfortable tightness. The position of the main body of the wearable device is adjusted so that the entire support and care mechanism on it is aligned with the scrotal surgical area. When the user wears the device, their body temperature is transferred to the nickel-titanium shape memory alloy support ring in the mounting component. When the alloy reaches its phase transition temperature (set close to the range of human body temperature), it exhibits a superelastic or shape memory effect, driving the mounting plate and the entire support and care mechanism frame connected to it to undergo microscopic, compliant deformation. This process allows the support contour of the device to automatically "memorize" and conform to the user's unique scrotal anatomy, achieving an initial personalized match. More importantly, this adaptive ability is continuous. When the user changes position, the local pressure distribution changes, and the shape memory alloy will deform accordingly to adjust, always maintaining optimal contact between the frame and the body surface, solving the problems of pressure point pain and displacement caused by rigid or non-fitting supports.

[0037] The medical dressing in the nursing component continuously contacts and covers the wound, absorbing exudate, while the breathable mesh ensures air circulation. The skin-friendly layer protects the surrounding skin, and the connecting spring in the support component continuously provides a preset upward elastic lifting force, effectively reducing the feeling of scrotal sagging, promoting venous and lymphatic return, and relieving swelling.

[0038] When the patient changes from lying down to sitting up or standing, the direction of gravity changes, and the shape and pressure distribution of the scrotum change accordingly. At this time, the nickel-titanium shape memory alloy support ring further fine-tunes the frame shape to adapt to the new position. At the same time, the connecting spring compensates for and redistributes the lifting force through extension and contraction, ensuring that the support is always stable, uniform and comfortable, and avoiding excessive local pressure or device displacement.

[0039] When it is necessary to change the dressing or check the wound, simply press and separate the first docking buckle on the nursing component to remove the entire nursing module (including the upper docking ring, medical dressing, and skin-friendly layer) from the installation component. After replacing the new medical dressing, simply align it with the first buckle interface and press it in. There is no need to disassemble the entire device or interfere with the support structure.

[0040] As the patient recovers post-surgery, if adjustments to the support force are needed, the detachable support components can be used. By replacing the connecting springs with different stiffness coefficients, or by operating the simple adjustment mechanism integrated into the adjustable support plate (such as rotating a knob to change the spring preload), the support force can be changed to meet the mild support needs in the later stages of recovery.

[0041] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
