Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a tracheotomy fixing belt for laryngeal cancer radiotherapy patients. Background Art

[0002] Laryngeal carcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors of the head and neck clinically, with more than 90% being squamous cell carcinoma. Most patients are treated with surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. Tracheotomy is an important channel for maintaining ventilation after total laryngectomy and subtotal laryngectomy. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy is the gold standard for the treatment of head and neck tumors. However, conformal intensity-modulated radiotherapy not only kills cancer cells but also causes skin damage in the radiation field, resulting in radiation dermatitis. After tracheotomy, a tracheal cannula is required to help ventilation. The tracheal cannula is fixed to the neck with a fixing belt. The fixing belt is commonly used in clinical practice as a flat rope, which can easily cause friction and shear force on the patient's skin. Therefore, it is necessary to design a tracheotomy fixing belt for patients undergoing radiotherapy for laryngeal cancer to improve the aforementioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a tracheotomy fixing belt for laryngeal cancer radiotherapy patients to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides a tracheotomy fixation belt for laryngeal cancer radiotherapy patients, comprising a belt body, which is a round strip belt with a circular cross section, and is provided with two ear straps that can make the belt body suspended.

[0005] Preferably, a plug is fixed to each of the two ends of the belt body, the plug is perpendicular to the belt body, and the middle part of the plug is connected to the end of the belt body.

[0006] Preferably, an opening is formed in the middle of the plug and passes through two sides of the plug, and the end of the belt body passes through the opening and is tied and fixed to the belt body itself.

[0007] Preferably, a groove is provided on the middle surface of the plug, and the end of the belt body is wound in the groove and is knotted and fixed with the belt body itself.

[0008] Preferably, the ear strap is a non-independent strap whose lower end is fixed to the strap body and connected to the strap body as a whole.

[0009] Preferably, the ear strap is a detachable independent strap that is sleeved on the strap body.

[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the ear-hanging strap is connected with an ear-hanging ring, and the lower end of the ear-hanging strap is connected with a sleeve, and the sleeve is sleeved on the strap body.

[0011] Preferably, the ear strap is a ring belt formed by tying two ends of a rope.

[0012] Preferably, the belt body is made of rubber.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model of a tracheotomy fixation belt for laryngeal cancer radiotherapy patients has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) By using a round strip belt, the contact area with the skin is reduced, thereby reducing friction and shear force on the patient's skin. In addition, laryngeal cancer patients are very likely to develop third-degree radiation dermatitis. In order to avoid friction, an ear-hanging strap that can be hung in the air is used. The ear-hanging strap can be hung on the patient's ears, and the strap on the neck is suspended in the air so that the strap does not contact the skin of the patient's neck, avoiding friction and making it convenient for nurses to change dressings, which is beneficial to skin healing and dressing changes, and reduces the patient's pain.

[0015] (2) A plug is used, which can pass through the opening of the baffle of the tracheal tube and be placed horizontally to fix the tracheal tube, which is very convenient for clinical installation and removal.

[0016] The present invention will become more clear through the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which are used to explain the embodiments of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals represent like elements.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1-2The tracheotomy fixing belt for laryngeal cancer radiotherapy patients comprises a belt body 1, which is a round strip belt with a circular cross section. The belt body 1 is provided with two ear-hanging belts 2 that can make the belt body 1 suspended.

[0025] The belt body 1 is made of rubber and is a solid belt body. A plug 3 is fixed to each end of the belt body 1. The plug 3 is perpendicular to the belt body 1, and the middle of the plug 3 is connected to the end of the belt body 1. Specifically, an opening 31 is opened in the middle of the plug 3 and passes through both sides of the plug 3. The end of the belt body 1 passes through the opening 31 and is tied and fixed to the belt body 1 itself.

[0026] The ear strap 2 is a detachable independent strap that is sleeved on the belt body 1. The upper end of the ear strap 2 is connected with an ear ring 21, and the lower end of the ear strap 2 is connected with a sleeve ring 22, and the sleeve ring 22 is sleeved on the belt body 1.

[0027] When in use, the loops 22 of the two ear straps 2 are pre-mounted on the belt body 1, and the belt body 1 is passed around the back of the patient's neck. The plugs 3 at both ends of the belt body 1 are respectively passed through the openings 411 on both sides of the baffle 41 of the tracheal tube 4 on the front side of the patient's neck in a manner parallel to the belt body 1, and then the plugs 3 are placed horizontally (horizontally, the plugs 3 are perpendicular to the belt body 1), so that the baffle 41 can be fixed on the patient's neck through the belt body 1. The earrings 21 of the two ear straps 2 are hung on the patient's ears. The belt body 1 can be suspended in the air without contacting the skin of the patient's neck through the suspension of the two ear straps 2, which avoids friction and is also convenient for nurses to change dressings, which is beneficial to skin healing and dressing changes, and relieves the patient's pain. The plug 3 is passed through the opening 411 of the baffle 41 and placed horizontally. After the plug 3 is placed horizontally, the two ends of the plug 3 lean against the baffle 41 around the opening 411 and will not be detached from the opening 411, so that the belt body can be connected to the baffle 41, which is very convenient for clinical operation installation and disassembly.

[0028] In other embodiments, Figure 3 The ear-hanging strap 2 is a non-independent strap whose lower end is fixed on the strap body 1 and connected to the strap body 1 as a whole.

[0029] In other embodiments, Figure 4 The ear-hanging strap 2 is a ring-shaped strap formed by tying two ends of a rope.

[0030] In other embodiments, Figure 5 The middle surface of the plug 3 is provided with a groove 32, and the end of the belt body 1 is wound in the groove 32 and is knotted and fixed with the belt body 1 itself.

[0031] The present invention is described above in conjunction with the best embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed above, but should cover various modifications and equivalent combinations based on the essence of the present invention.
