Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of masks, in particular to a mask for preventing pressure sores. Background Art

[0002] Some patients will wear oxygen masks when they have difficulty breathing, and oxygen will be provided to the patients through the oxygen masks.

[0003] Currently, most of the existing oxygen masks are made of silicone. However, the edges of oxygen masks made of silicone are relatively hard. When they are in contact with the patient's face for a long time, the patient is prone to instrumental pressure injuries at the nose bridge, cheeks and mandible.

[0004] In order to prevent the occurrence of such adverse events clinically, nurses will cut foam dressings by themselves and apply them to areas prone to pressure sores. This not only increases the workload of nurses, but also leaves nowhere to put the cut dressings after use, or they will be directly discarded, which easily leads to waste of medical materials. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a mask for preventing pressure sores, so as to solve the technical problems in the existing devices.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model specifically provides the following technical solutions: a mask for preventing pressure sores, comprising a mask body, the edge of which can be attached to the contour of the user's face, having a raised portion for accommodating the nose, and a mounting groove is provided around the side edge of the mask body along its length direction;

[0007] A protective cover, installed in the installation slot, capable of wrapping the edge of the mask body in contact with the patient's facial contour;

[0008] The gasket has one end connected to the sheath and the other end extending outward along the connection with the sheath. The gasket can be placed in close contact with the nose bridge of the user.

[0009] As a preferred solution of the utility model, a notch is provided on the surface of the sheath along its length direction, and a socket capable of being snapped into the installation groove is provided in the inner cavity of the notch along its length direction.

[0010] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the sheath is made of silicone or rubber materials.

[0011] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the outer surface of the sheath away from the edge of the cover body and the surface of the gasket away from the cover body are both provided with a contact layer, and the contact layer is filled with foam material or sponge material.

[0012] As a preferred solution of the utility model, an adhesive strip is provided along its length direction at one end of the gasket close to the inner wall of the cover body, and the adhesive strip faces one end of the opening of the mounting groove on the sheath.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The device is made by slightly extending the bridge of the nose, that is, a sheath and a contact layer are set on the extended part of the bridge of the nose and the edge of the mask body, and the contact layer is filled with foam material or sponge material, the material is relatively soft, and it is not easy to cause pressure sores when it comes into contact with the user. That is, it is used as a protective contact layer directly installed on the mask body, and can be taken and used at any time. The operation is simple and there is no waste of materials.

[0015] At the same time, the sheath adopts a detachable connection method, which facilitates the overall replacement of the contact layer and the sheath, avoids the waste of the cover body, and saves materials. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a mask for preventing pressure sores, comprising:

[0025] The mask body 1 has an edge that can be attached to the user's facial contour and has a raised portion for accommodating the nose. The side edge of the mask body 1 is provided with a mounting groove 2 along its length direction;

[0026] The sheath 3 is installed in the installation groove 2 and can wrap the edge of the mask body 1 that contacts the patient's facial contour;

[0027] The gasket 4 has one end connected to the sheath 3 and the other end extending outward along the connection with the sheath 3. The gasket 4 can fit the bridge of the nose of the user.

[0028] The cover body 1 is provided with an air outlet and an installation opening for installing a strap.

[0029] Among them, specifically, Figure 3-4 As shown, a notch 5 is provided on the surface of the sheath 3 along its length direction, and a holder 6 capable of being clamped in the mounting groove 2 is provided in the inner cavity of the notch 5 along its length direction.

[0030] That is, the sheath 3 forms an E-shaped structure, the edge of the E-shaped sheath 3 can wrap the edge of the cover body 1, and the plug-in structure also facilitates the disassembly and installation of the entire sheath 3. The sheath 3 is generally made of silicone or rubber materials. This type of material has a certain toughness and can be bent, so that it can better adapt to the shape of the edge of the cover body 1.

[0031] Further, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, the outer surface of the sheath 3 away from the edge of the cover body 1 and the surface of the gasket 4 facing away from the cover body 1 are both provided with a contact layer 7, and the contact layer 7 is filled with foam material or sponge material.

[0032] Since the material of the contact layer 7 is relatively soft, it is not easy to cause pressure sores when it comes into contact with the user's face.

[0033] At the same time, the contact layer 7 attached to the sheath 3 can reduce pressure sores on the user's face, while the contact layer 7 attached to the pad 4 can reduce pressure sores on the user's nose tip.

[0034] Generally, the bridge of the nose is completely in contact with the mask body 1, so the protection at the bridge of the nose is greater than that at the facial contour, that is, the length of the gasket 4 is greater than the width of the sheath 3, and one end of the gasket 4 is connected to the sheath 3, and the other end extends out of the surface of the sheath 3. Therefore, when the mask body 1 is attached to the user's face, it is also necessary to ensure that the gasket 4 can fit the mask body 1.

[0035] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, an adhesive strip 8 is provided along the length direction of the gasket 4 at one end close to the inner wall of the cover body 1, and the adhesive strip 8 faces the end of the opening of the mounting groove 2 on the sheath 3;

[0036] The gasket 4 is attached to the mask body 1 using the adhesive strip 8, so that both ends of the gasket 4 can be fixed, so that the contact layer 7 on the gasket 4 can be completely attached to the bridge of the nose, and the adhesive method is also convenient for disassembly and installation.

[0037] The above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. The protection scope of the present application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present application within the essence and protection scope of the present application, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions shall also be deemed to fall within the protection scope of the present application.
