Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a chest and lung protection shoulder armor. Background Art

[0002] The selection of incisions for modern thoracic and lung surgery must not only fully expose the surgical field, but also consider performing the surgery in a location that causes less surgical trauma to the patient. It is necessary to minimize the disruption of respiratory and circulatory functions during and after the operation, avoid loss of muscle function, and reduce pain.

[0003] After chest and lung surgery, care should be taken to avoid pressing or touching the wound, and the wound should be bandaged to apply pressure. Existing devices for protecting chest and lung wounds after surgery usually wrap the chest, and set sponges or other soft fabrics with slow rebound properties in the protective device to absorb impact and reduce vibration to protect the chest and lung surgical incisions. However, existing protective devices have the following problems:

[0004] 1. The location of the patient's surgical wound may vary depending on the patient's condition and physical condition. The existing protective device fully covers the patient's chest and lungs, and cannot directly determine the location of the patient's wound. When the protective device is removed, the patient's wound may be accidentally touched, causing pain in the patient's wound or even secondary rupture.

[0005] 2. At present, when changing the dressing for the patient, the protective device needs to be removed and placed in a designated place. During this process, there is a possibility that the wound area covered will come into contact with bacteria, which may cause the wound to be infected by bacteria and affect wound healing;

[0006] 3. When the protective device is protecting the wound, since some patients have large chests (such as fitness men and women, etc.), the protective device may not be able to fully fit the front of the patient's body, resulting in the protective device being unable to fully protect the patient's wound. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a chest and lung protection shoulder guard, which can visually identify the wound location to avoid accidental touching of the wound, and at the same time prevent the wound covering area from contacting pathogens during dressing changes, causing wound infection.

[0008] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] A chest and lung protection shoulder guard comprises an upper shoulder guard, a lower shoulder guard rotatably connected to the bottom of the upper shoulder guard, a chest fixing mechanism symmetrically mounted on the front side of the upper shoulder guard, and a dressing assembly mounted on the lower shoulder guard; the dressing assembly comprises a dressing window opened on the lower shoulder guard, a protective cover plate arranged in the dressing window, and a pair of rotating sub-assemblies connected between the dressing window and the protective cover plate; the two rotating sub-assemblies are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of one side of the dressing window connection position.

[0010] More preferably, the rotating subassembly includes a rotating rod fixed to the dressing change window, a guide block fixed to the bottom of the rotating rod, a slide groove opened on the bottom side of the guide block, a spring fixed to the bottom of the slide groove, and a limit block fixed to the bottom end of the spring and sliding in the slide groove; the protective cover plate is provided with a rotating groove corresponding to the rotating rod, the bottom of the rotating groove is provided with a guide groove adapted to the guide block, and the two ends of the bottom of the guide groove are symmetrically provided with limit grooves adapted to the limit blocks.

[0011] More preferably, the chest fixing mechanism includes a fixing ring installed on the front side of the upper shoulder armor and a chest protection cover detachably provided with the fixing ring.

[0012] More preferably, a plurality of first connecting buckles are spaced apart on the surface of the fixing ring, a plurality of second connecting buckles matched with the first connecting buckles are correspondingly mounted on the chest protection cover, and the first connecting buckles and the second connecting buckles are detachably arranged.

[0013] More preferably, the buffer assembly includes a first buffer airbag fixed inside the lower shoulder armor and a second buffer airbag fixed inside the protective cover plate; the first buffer airbag is connected to the second buffer airbag.

[0014] More preferably, a charging and discharging interface is provided at the bottom end of the first buffer airbag, and the first buffer airbag and the second buffer airbag are connected to an external inflation mechanism via the charging and discharging interface.

[0015] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. When the patient uses the utility model, the lower shoulder armor is rotated so that the wound is in the dressing window of the dressing component, so that the operator can intuitively feel the area where the wound is located, avoiding the situation of accidentally touching the patient's wound when removing the shoulder armor, and avoiding the pain or even secondary rupture of the patient's wound caused by touching;

[0017] 2. When changing the dressing, the utility model can open the wound area by rotating the protective cover, so as to facilitate the dressing change of the patient's wound, avoid the need to remove the shoulder armor and then put it on again when changing the dressing, improve the dressing change efficiency, and at the same time avoid the contact of the wound area with bacteria when the shoulder armor is placed in the designated place, thereby avoiding the wound from being infected by bacteria and affecting the healing of the wound;

[0018] 3. When the shoulder armor of the utility model is worn on the patient, the fixing ring is in contact with the bottom of the patient's chest, and the patient's chest is located inside the fixing ring and does not contact the inside of the upper shoulder armor, so that the shoulder armor will not be unable to fit the front side of the patient's body due to the patient's larger chest, thereby ensuring the protective effect of the shoulder armor on the patient's wound.
