[0001] This invention relates to the field of facial support technology, specifically an auxiliary facial support device for parathyroid nodule ablation therapy. Background Technology

[0002] When performing ablation treatment on thyroid or parathyroid nodules, aseptic requirements dictate that the drape must completely cover the patient's face and neck.

[0003] Currently, during treatment, the drape can easily block the patient's mouth and nose, causing breathing difficulties and increasing the patient's anxiety. Generally, during treatment, medical staff will periodically lift the drape covering the patient's face to prevent it from slowly sinking under its own weight. Patients may experience occasional breathing difficulties, which ultimately affects the treatment outcome.

[0004] To address the above problems, this invention provides an auxiliary facial support device for parathyroid nodule ablation therapy, thereby solving the aforementioned issues. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary facial support device for parathyroid nodule ablation therapy, comprising a first support body and a second support body for supporting a perforated drape. The first support body is positioned at the patient's eye level, and the second support body is positioned at the junction of the patient's chin and neck. A first adsorption cover is disposed on the first support body, and the first adsorption cover is used to adsorb the perforated drape at the first support body. A second adsorption cover is disposed on the second support body, and the second adsorption cover is used to adsorb the perforated drape at the second support body.

[0006] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the first adsorption cover has a first cavity inside, and a plurality of adsorption holes are uniformly opened on the top wall of the first adsorption cover, and the first cavity is connected to the plurality of adsorption holes.

[0007] The second adsorption hood has a second cavity inside, and a plurality of adsorption holes are evenly distributed on the top wall of the second adsorption hood. The second cavity is connected to the plurality of adsorption holes. The first cavity is connected to the first end of the first flexible tube, and the second cavity is connected to the first end of the second flexible tube.

[0008] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the front sidewall of the second adsorption cover is uniformly provided with a plurality of adsorption holes, and the second cavity is connected to the plurality of adsorption holes.

[0009] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, it also includes a pillow block for supporting the patient's back and neck, the pillow block having a cavity, the air pump being installed in the cavity, and both the first hose and the second hose being detachably connected to the air pump.

[0010] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, an airbag is fixed around the periphery of the pillow block.

[0011] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the device also includes a conduit, one end of which is connected to the air pump, and the other end of which passes through the pillow block and communicates with the airbag.

[0012] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, a one-way air valve is installed inside the conduit.

[0013] Furthermore, preferably, the first support body has two mirror-distributed clamping members, each clamping member including a stud connected to a threaded hole in the clamping member, one end of the stud being fixed with an elastic pad, the elastic pad conforming to the patient's face.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0029] An auxiliary facial support device for parathyroid nodule ablation therapy includes a first support body 11 and a second support body 12 for supporting a perforated drape. The first support body 11 is positioned at the patient's eye level, and the second support body 12 is positioned at the junction of the patient's chin and neck. A first suction cover 21 is disposed on the first support body 11 for adsorbing the perforated drape at the first support body 11. A second suction cover 22 is disposed on the second support body 12 for adsorbing the perforated drape at the second support body 12.

[0030] Before surgery, the patient must lie flat on the operating table with their head facing the ceiling. This allows for complete exposure of the parathyroid nodules, facilitating subsequent treatment and ensuring the correct placement of the drape on the patient's face and neck.

[0031] The first support 11 and the second support 12 can support the drape, maintaining a safe distance between the drape and the patient's mouth and nose, thereby preventing the drape from blocking the patient's mouth and nose and causing breathing difficulties, and thus eliminating the patient's anxiety.

[0032] Negative pressure is generated inside the first adsorption hood 21 and the second adsorption hood 22, which can adsorb the perforated drape at the first support 11 and the second support 12. As a result, the perforated drape above the patient's face will not slowly sink under its own gravity, thus ensuring that the distance between the patient's mouth and nose and the perforated drape remains unchanged during the treatment. Therefore, the patient will not experience breathing difficulties during the treatment while ensuring aseptic conditions.

[0033] In addition, it should be noted that the height of the first support 11 and the second support 12 is constant and both are higher than the patient's face. Therefore, the first suction cover 21 and the second suction cover 22 are both above the patient's face, thereby preventing the drape from contacting the patient's mouth and nose.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the first adsorption cover 21 has a first cavity inside, and a plurality of adsorption holes 211 are evenly distributed on the top wall of the first adsorption cover 21, and the first cavity is in communication with the plurality of adsorption holes 211. The second adsorption cover 22 has a second cavity inside, and a plurality of adsorption holes 221 are evenly distributed on the top wall of the second adsorption cover 22, and the second cavity is in communication with the plurality of adsorption holes 221. The first cavity is connected to the first end of the first flexible tube 23, and the second cavity is connected to the first end of the second flexible tube 24. The second ends of the first flexible tube 23 and the second ends of the second flexible tube 24 are both connected to the air pump 3.

[0035] When the air pump 3 is started, it can draw gas from the first cavity through the first hose 23, thereby creating a negative pressure in the first cavity. Then, external gas will enter the first cavity through several adsorption holes 211, thus achieving adsorption at the hole of the first support 11. Similarly, the air pump 3 can draw gas from the second cavity through the second hose 24, thereby creating a negative pressure in the second cavity. Then, external gas will enter the second cavity through several adsorption holes 221, thus achieving adsorption at the hole of the second support 12.

[0036] In addition, both the first adsorption cover 21 and the second adsorption cover 22 are configured to be arc-shaped, so that the outline of the adsorbed drape is arc-shaped, which conforms to the structure of the human face. This not only prevents the drape from being stretched too high, resulting in poor coverage, thus avoiding failure to achieve the required sterile environment, but also avoids waste caused by using too large an area of ​​the drape.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the front sidewall of the second adsorption cover 22 is uniformly provided with a plurality of adsorption holes 222, and the second cavity is connected to the plurality of adsorption holes 222.

[0038] It is important to note that because the drape above the patient's face is completely stretched, if the drape between the patient's chin and neck tilts naturally, it will cause the distance between the drape and the treatment area to be too high, thus hindering the surgery.

[0039] Based on the above, please refer to the following in this application: Figure 1 and Figure 3 When the air pump 3 is started, it can draw gas from the second cavity through the second hose 24. The negative pressure in the second cavity can not only adsorb the gas above the adsorption holes 221 through several adsorption holes 221, but also adsorb the gas in front of the adsorption holes 222 through several adsorption holes 322. Therefore, the drape will be tilted at 90° at the second adsorption cover 22, so as to ensure that the drape is always in close contact with the skin of the neck, providing sufficient operating space for surgical treatment.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the device also includes a pillow block 4 for supporting the patient's back and neck. The pillow block 4 has a cavity, and the air pump 3 is installed in the cavity. The first hose 23 and the second hose 24 are both detachably connected to the air pump 3.

[0041] Pillow block 4 can support the patient's neck, relax the neck muscles, and facilitate the operation.

[0042] Before the operation, the air inlet of the air pump 3 connected to the pillow block 4 needs to be connected to the first hose 23 and the second hose 24 so that the air pump 3 can draw gas from the first cavity and the second cavity.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, an airbag 5 is fixed around the pillow block 4.

[0044] The use of airbag 5 allows it to fit perfectly against the patient's back and neck, providing a certain level of comfort during treatment and relieving tension.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the device also includes a conduit 6, one end of which is connected to the air pump 3, and the other end of which passes through the pillow block 4 and communicates with the airbag 5.

[0046] For example, please refer to Figure 4 The air pump 3 can expel the sucked air into the airbag 5, so that the airbag 5 will not collapse during the continuous pressure on the patient's neck, and thus the airbag 5 can always fit in close contact with the patient's neck.

[0047] The airbag 5 is made of rubber, and the surface of the airbag 5 has air gaps. When the pressure in the airbag 5 reaches a certain level, the airbag 5 will deform and expand, and the air gaps will be open. Thus, during treatment, the airbag 5 will maintain sufficient air pressure and will not change with the deformation of the airbag 5. That is, the airbag 5 will always provide the best support for the patient.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, a one-way air valve 61 is installed inside the conduit 6.

[0049] The one-way valve 61 ensures that the airflow inside the airbag 5 will not flow back when the air pump 3 is closed, so that the airbag 5 always remains inflated, so as to accurately locate the treatment site of the patient.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the first support 11 has two mirror-distributed clamping members, each clamping member including a stud 71 connected to a threaded hole in the clamping member, and an elastic pad 72 fixed to one end of the stud 71, the elastic pad 72 conforming to the patient's face. The second support 12 has two mirror-distributed mounting parts, each mounting part being detachably mounted on one end of the pillow block 4 using bolts and nuts.

[0051] When installing the first support body 11, firstly, thread the two studs 71 ​​into the threaded holes of the two clamping parts respectively, and then twist the two studs 71 ​​in sequence so that the two elastic pads 72 are in close contact with the patient's cheeks on both sides, thus completing the positioning of the first support body 11.

[0052] When installing the second support 12, first place the pillow block 4 on the back and neck of the patient, and then install the two mounting parts of the second support 12 in sequence with bolts and nuts so that the second support 12 is fixed at both ends of the pillow block 4.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, a knob 73 is fixed to the end of the stud 71 away from the elastic pad 72.

[0054] The knob 73 makes it easy for medical staff to operate.

[0055] Specifically, when ablation treatment is required for a patient's parathyroid nodules, the first support 11 is installed first, then the pillow block 4 is placed, followed by the installation of the second support 12. Then, the first hose 23 and the second hose 24 are connected to the air inlet of the air pump 3 on the pillow block 4. The perforated drape is then laid on the patient's face and neck, the air pump 3 is started, and finally the perforated drape is finely adjusted before the surgical treatment can be performed.

[0056] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
