[0021] To make the content of this invention easier to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] like Figs. 1-2 As shown, the method for making a sleeping bag for dialysis patients includes the following steps: Step 1: Select a multi-layer composite fabric as the main raw material for the sleeping bag. The multi-layer composite fabric includes an outer layer, an insulation layer, a middle layer, and an inner layer. The outer layer uses a waterproof and abrasion-resistant material; the insulation layer uses a fabric treated with microcapsule phase-change materials; the inner layer uses a skin-friendly material; and the middle layer consists of two layers made of highly elastic sponge material. The multi-layer composite fabric undergoes pretreatment, which includes the following steps: fabric soaking to remove sizing, high-temperature drying and shaping, plasma antibacterial strengthening treatment, and pre-shrinking treatment. The plasma antibacterial strengthening treatment uses silver ion plasma spraying, achieving an antibacterial rate of ≥99% and withstanding 50 washes without loss of effectiveness. This pretreatment eliminates shrinkage and deformation problems after washing, while also strengthening the antibacterial and seepage-proof properties of the outer layer, preventing dialysis fluid leakage and wetting of the filling cotton.
[0023] A buffer cavity is provided between the two layers. A hole is provided in the inner layer of the dialysis tube storage bag at the corresponding position. The dialysis tube connected to the patient's body passes through the hole, the buffer cavity and the dialysis tube storage bag in sequence and is placed on the outside of the sleeping bag and fixed by the dialysis tube fixing strap.
[0024] Step 2: Fabric cutting. The sleeping bag features a top and split-leg pants design, including a front top, a back top, a front pants, a back pants, a front sleeve, a back sleeve, and connecting pieces. The sleeping bag also includes a head extension piece, which is sewn to the upper end of the back top. An inflatable airbag-shaped headrest is sewn to one end of the head extension piece.
[0025] The fabric slices are divided into two overall sizes: children's wear and adult wear. Children's wear includes small (100-120cm), medium (120-140cm), and large (140-160cm). Adult wear includes small (150-160cm), medium (160-175cm), and large (175-190cm).
[0026] Step 3: Fabric edge binding and sewing. The front and back pieces of the top, the front and back pieces of the pants, and the front and back pieces of the sleeves are all connected by invisible zippers on both sides. The inside of the zipper teeth is sewn with pure cotton binding fabric strips. The cuffs of the sleeping bag top, pants, and cuffs are all designed with drawstring cuffs.
[0027] Step 4: A dialysis tube storage pocket is made at the abdomen position of the front panel of the top. Multiple dialysis tube fixing straps are sewn on the surface of the front panel of the top and the front panels of the sleeves at intervals. One end of the dialysis tube fixing strap is fixedly sewn to the surface of the sleeping bag, and the other end is detachably connected to the surface of the sleeping bag. The detachable connection method includes, but is not limited to, buckles, magnetic closures, Velcro, etc. The dialysis fixing straps are made of elastic bands.
[0028] Step 5: Overall overlocking and shaping. Align all the sewn front and back pieces, perform full overlocking, and then wash and shape.
[0029] Example 1 Mass production of adult standard size (160-175cm) sleeping bags for dialysis patients: Fabric pretreatment: the outer layer, insulation layer, interlayer and inner layer are pre-shrinked by silver ion plasma spraying. Cut pieces are formed, with the arm passage measuring 52cm in length and 8cm in width, and the chest inspection port having a long axis of 22cm. Zipper binding: The inner side of the two-way nylon zipper is double-stitched with a 1.2mm thick cotton strip. The tubing straps have multiple Velcro fasteners on the outside of the arm passage and the front of the top, and come with 3cm wide elastic straps. The entire edge is locked, and the edge is fully wrapped. The finished product is inspected by washing and ironing.
[0030] Example 2 Making a small adult sleeping bag (150-160cm): Similar to the steps in Example 1, the overall length and width of the cut piece are adjusted, the arm passage length is adjusted to 45cm, and the remaining fabric treatment, zipper binding, filling, and sewing process parameters remain unchanged, making it suitable for short female dialysis patients.
[0031] Example 3 Making a large (175-190cm) sleeping bag: Similar to the steps in Example 1, the overall cut piece is enlarged, the arm channel length is 60cm, the lower abdominal peritoneal tube storage bag is widened, and the filling thickness, quilting process, and zipper edging process are kept consistent with Example 1, making it suitable for tall male patients.
[0032] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the spirit of the invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
