Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical equipment and supplies, belongs to medical care technology, and specifically relates to a thyroid surgery postoperative swelling auxiliary device. Background Art

[0002] Thyroid nodules are caused by abnormal proliferation of thyroid cells, but common causes include genetics, iodine deficiency, and immune dysfunction. The disease has no obvious symptoms in the early stages, and as the nodules continue to grow, surgical treatment is required. However, thyroid surgery is often accompanied by neck lymph node dissection. After surgery, patients often experience neck swelling due to edema of the neck lymph nodes, which is mainly due to local inflammatory reactions caused by the trauma during the operation.

[0003] At present, topical anti-infective, anti-inflammatory and detumescent drugs are usually used clinically to achieve the purpose of local detumescence treatment after thyroid surgery. However, the method used is to place the drug on a whole piece of gauze, and then use a bandage or other fixing device to fix the gauze with the drug on the patient's wound. In this way, if it is tied too tightly, it will compress the wound and cause discomfort to the patient, and also restrict the patient's activities. If it is not tied tightly, the drug will be locally accumulated under the influence of gravity, resulting in the wound not being fully applied with the drug. The problem of uneven drug distribution makes the detumescence treatment effect poor. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the defect of uneven dispersion of topical drugs in the prior art, the utility model provides a post-thyroid surgery swelling auxiliary device to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art; the technical solution of the utility model is reasonably designed, and can achieve uniform distribution of drug powder, so that the neck can be effectively fixed, and the drug can be applied to the entire wound to achieve a swelling reduction effect, thereby reducing the problem of poor wound edema reduction effect after thyroid surgery due to non-dispersion of topical drugs.

[0005] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A post-thyroid surgery swelling auxiliary device comprises a bag body, at least one medicine storage strip is arranged on the inner side of the bag body, the medicine storage strip is a wave-shaped structure, a broken line structure or a combination thereof, and the medicine storage strip is arranged along the length direction of the bag body.

[0007] Preferably, one end of the medicine storage strip is a closed end, the other end of the medicine storage strip is an open end, and the medicine storage strip is a strip-shaped structure; an elastic ring is provided at the open end of the medicine storage strip.

[0008] Preferably, the left and right ends of the bag body are respectively connected to one end of an elastic bandage, and the other ends of the two elastic bandages are respectively provided with a first fixing belt and a second fixing belt.

[0009] Preferably, a waterproof layer is attached to the inner surface of the bag body, and the waterproof layer is made of SAP polymer composite water-absorbing factor material.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of separation grooves are evenly arranged on the inner surface of the bag body along the width direction.

[0011] Preferably, the bag body is made of temperature-regulating fiber material.

[0012] Preferably, a Japanese-shaped tie frame is provided at the end of the first fixing belt, and the first fixing belt and the second fixing belt are connected to each other through the Japanese-shaped tie frame.

[0013] Preferably, the medicine storage strip is made of medical gauze.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the thyroid surgery detumescence auxiliary device provided by the utility model has the following beneficial effects: by adjusting the traditional plane-placed medicine to a medicine storage strip with a wavy or broken line structure, when the medicine powder enters the interior of the medicine storage strip, due to the presence of multiple troughs in the medicine storage strip, the fluid medicine powder undergoes a curved path in the medicine storage strip, so that the medicine powder does not move in a linear direction, but is affected by the curved path and dispersedly moves in multiple directions, thereby achieving uniform distribution of the medicine powder in multiple troughs in the wavy structure or the broken line structure, and after the entire detumescence auxiliary device is worn on the patient's neck, the medicine powder in the medicine storage strip will be subject to the resistance of the curved path and will not easily move from one trough to another, thereby also achieving relatively stable and uniform distribution; direct impact and concentrated flow between medicines are also reduced, and the curved path also reduces the flow rate and impact force of the medicine powder; the problem of accumulation and blockage of the medicine powder is avoided, so that the powder is more evenly distributed in the medicine storage strip, thereby avoiding the problem of the medicine powder being deposited at one end of the medicine storage strip and failing to completely cover the wound, thereby effectively ensuring the use efficiency of the powder.

[0015] Furthermore, by setting the medicine storage strip as a wavy structure, the overall path length of the medicine storage strip can be effectively increased, thereby further ensuring that the detumescent external application medicine powder can be evenly covered on the wound surface, so as to achieve the purpose of external application detumescent. Through the elastic tightening effect of the elastic ring, the open ends of each medicine storage strip can be tightened and closed to prevent drug leakage. And the elastic ring is also convenient for adding and replacing the medicine in the medicine storage strip. Thus, the corresponding medicine can be replaced and added according to the different conditions of the patient's edema, so as to achieve the purpose of postoperative detumescent.

[0016] The setting of the medicine storage strip makes the medicine more evenly distributed in the length direction. At the same time, setting multiple medicine storage strips with equal spacing in the width direction can also make the medicine evenly distributed in the width direction, avoiding the defect of local accumulation of medicine in a single plane, so that the medicine can exert its swelling-reducing effect in the entire wound area.

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the present invention.

[0023] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1-2 As shown, a thyroid surgery swelling auxiliary device comprises a bag body 1, at least one drug storage strip 5 is arranged inside the bag body 1, and in this embodiment, four drug storage strips 5 are arranged at equal intervals; the drug storage strips 5 are one of a wavy structure and a folded line structure or a combination thereof, and the drug storage strips 5 are arranged along the length direction of the bag body 1. In this embodiment, the drug storage strips 5 preferably adopt a wavy structure, and the drug storage strips 5 are made of medical gauze material.

[0024] Working principle:

[0025] When in use, the detumescent external application drug powder is filled into the drug storage strip 5, and then the entire bag body 1 is fixedly attached to the wound surface of the patient's neck. In this embodiment, by setting the drug storage strip 5 as a wavy structure, when the drug powder enters the drug storage strip 5, due to the presence of multiple troughs in the drug storage strip 5, the flowing drug powder will experience a curved path in the drug storage strip 5 due to the change of the external environment. The curved path increases the resistance encountered by the drug powder when flowing. At this time, the drug will be relatively dispersed and gathered at the trough of each wave, unlike the traditional method where all drugs are concentrated in one place, so that the drug presents a relatively uniform dispersion effect in the length direction of the entire drug storage strip 5; that is, the flow direction of the drug powder is dispersed, reducing the concentrated flow of the drug powder; by changing the flow direction of the drug powder, the accumulation and blockage of the powder at the bottom of the drug storage strip 5 is effectively reduced, and the powder is more evenly distributed in the drug storage strip 5, thereby avoiding the problem that the drug powder is deposited at one end of the drug storage strip 5 and cannot completely cover the wound, thereby effectively ensuring the use efficiency of the powder.

[0026] After the entire bag body 1 is worn on the patient's neck, the drug powder in the drug storage strip 5 is subject to the resistance of the curved path and is not easy to move from one trough to another, thereby achieving relatively stable and uniform distribution. In addition, by setting the drug storage strip 5 as a wavy structure, the overall path length of the drug storage strip 5 can be effectively increased, thereby further ensuring that the detumescent external application drug powder can be evenly covered on the wound surface, so as to achieve the purpose of detumescent external application.

[0027] In this embodiment, a plurality of medicine storage strips 5 may be provided, and the medicine storage strips 5 are evenly arranged along the width direction of the bag body 1, so that in the longitudinal direction, the evenly distributed medicine storage strips 5 also allow the medicine powder to be evenly distributed in the width direction of the bag body 1, thereby further ensuring that the anti-edema external application medicine powder can evenly cover the wound surface, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the medicine.

[0028] Embodiment 2, as a further preferred embodiment of embodiment 1, one end of the medicine storage strip 5 is a closed end, the other end of the medicine storage strip 5 is an open end, and the medicine storage strip 5 is a strip structure; an elastic ring 6 is provided at the open end of the medicine storage strip 5.

[0029] When filling the detumescent external application medicine powder, the elastic ring 6 can be opened first to open the open end of the medicine storage strip 5. After the medicine powder is filled into each medicine storage strip 5, the elastic tightening effect of the elastic ring 6 can tighten and close the open end of each medicine storage strip 5 to prevent the medicine from leaking out. The elastic ring 6 also facilitates the addition and replacement of medicine in the medicine storage strip 5. Therefore, the corresponding medicine can be replaced and added according to the different conditions of the patient's edema to achieve the purpose of postoperative detumescence.

[0030] Embodiment 3, as a further preferred solution of embodiment 1, the left and right ends of the bag body 1 are respectively connected to one end of the elastic bandage 2, and the other ends of the two elastic bandages 2 are respectively provided with a first fixing belt 3 and a second fixing belt 4.

[0031] When worn, the bag body 1 can be directly attached to the wound surface of the patient, and then the first fixing belt 3 and the second fixing belt 4 can be connected and fixed to each other to achieve effective fixation of the neck, and the elastic effect of the elastic bandage 2 can also make the bag body 1 completely fit the patient's skin.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first fixing belt 3 and the second fixing belt 4 can be connected and fixed by Velcro, or by snap fasteners.

[0033] Embodiment 4, as a further preferred embodiment of embodiment 1, the inner surface of the bag body 1 is further bonded with a waterproof layer 9, and the waterproof layer 9 is made of a SAP polymer composite water-absorbing factor material. By using the SAP polymer composite water-absorbing factor material as the waterproof layer 9, the exudate generated during the use of the detumescent drug can be effectively absorbed, and then the secondary infection of the wound caused by the exudation of the wound dressing can be effectively prevented.

[0034] Embodiment 5, as Figure 2 As shown, as a further preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, the inner surface of the bag body 1 is evenly provided with a plurality of dividing grooves 7 along the width direction. The dividing grooves 7 are provided to effectively adjust the bending degree of the bag body 1, so as to adapt to the body curves and individual differences of different patients, so that the bag body 1 can fit the patient's neck more closely, thereby improving the wearing comfort.

[0035] Embodiment 6, as a further preferred embodiment of embodiment 1, the bag body 1 is made of a thermoregulating fiber material. The thermoregulating fiber material has a certain temperature regulating function, and can absorb or release heat in a temperature-changing environment to achieve the effect of regulating the temperature, thereby accelerating the disappearance of edema.

[0036] Embodiment 7, as a further preferred solution of embodiment 1, a Japanese-shaped tie frame 8 is provided at the end of the first fixing belt 3, and the first fixing belt 3 and the second fixing belt 4 are connected to each other through the Japanese-shaped tie frame 8. The Japanese-shaped tie frame 8 makes it possible to adjust the length of the connection between the first fixing belt 3 and the second fixing belt 4, thereby making the length of the entire device adjustable, so that it is convenient for patients of different body shapes to wear, and the length can be adjusted at will according to the different shapes of the patient's neck, thereby alleviating the symptoms of wound pain and discomfort of patients after nail surgery.

[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
