Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of post-thyroid surgery neck braces, in particular to a post-operative supporting neck brace. Background Art

[0002] Thyroid cancer is a common type of tumor in the head and neck, and its incidence rate is increasing year by year. Thyroidectomy is one of its treatment methods, mainly for patients with high-risk characteristics. The prognosis is good, but there are still many postoperative complications. The cervical brace is an auxiliary treatment device for cervical spondylosis, which can brake and protect the cervical spine, reduce nerve wear, reduce traumatic reactions of intervertebral joints, and is beneficial to the disappearance of tissue edema, consolidate the therapeutic effect, and prevent recurrence.

[0003] At the same time, the cervical brace can also be used for various types of cervical spondylosis, and is more suitable for patients in the acute attack period, especially those with cervical disc herniation, sympathetic nerve type and vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis.

[0004] After thyroidectomy, patients often wear a neck brace and lie flat on the bed. The neck brace supports and protects the patient's neck and prevents the patient's neck from moving. However, when lying flat, the patient's head and neck remain in a fixed state for a long time, which can easily cause fatigue and is not conducive to recovery. Sometimes the patient needs to slightly tilt his head and neck to talk with the doctor or relatives and friends who come to visit. The existing neck brace cannot support the patient's head and neck or make small adjustments to it. It is not flexible enough to use and has a relatively single function. Utility Model Content

The head slot support plate 4 is arranged at one end of the neck slot support plate 3. The head slot support plate 4 is connected to the interior of the neck slot support plate 3, that is, the patient's head is placed in the head slot support plate 4, and the patient's neck is placed in the neck slot support plate 3.

[0027] Four bolts 11 are evenly and symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the base plate 1. The bolts 11 are perpendicular to the base plate 1 and face downward. The first nut 111 and the second nut 112 are threadedly connected to the bolts 11. The first nut 111 and the second nut 112 are both located below the base plate 1. The bolts 11 pass through the through holes set on the bed board, so that the entire device can be fixed on the bed.

[0028] At least two first supports 22 and one second support 23 are arranged on the upper surface of the middle plate 2. The upper surface of the first support 22 is connected to the lower surface of the neck groove support plate 3. The upper surface of the second support 23 is located on the lower surface of the head groove support plate 4. At least two first supports 22 are evenly arranged between the neck groove support plate 3 and the middle plate 2 at equal intervals. The first support 22 supports the head groove support plate 4. The second support 23 supports the neck groove support plate 3.

[0029] Two first shaft seats 13 are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the bottom plate 1 on both sides of the first through groove 12 , and the rear end of the cylinder of the electric push rod 7 is connected to the first shaft seat 13 through a rotating shaft.

[0030] Two second shaft seats 31 are symmetrically arranged on one upper surface of the neck groove support plate 3, and a plurality of clamping blocks 32 are evenly arranged on the other upper surface at equal intervals. One folded edge of the cover plate 5 is hinged in the second shaft seat 31, and a plurality of clamping grooves 52 are evenly arranged on the other folded edge, and the clamping grooves 52 are clamped with the clamping blocks 32.

[0031] A ventilation hole 51 is provided at the center of the upper surface of the cover plate 5. The cross sections of the neck groove support plate 3 and the cover plate 5 are both semicircular arc-shaped.

[0032] In summary: the entire device can be fixed on the bed by four bolts 11, the first nut 111 and the second nut 112, the mattress of the bed is flush with the height of the connecting seat 14, the cover plate 5 is opened to expose the neck groove support plate 3, the patient lies flat on the bed, the patient's neck is placed in the neck groove support plate 3, and the patient's head is placed in the head groove support plate 4, the neck groove support plate 3 and the head groove support plate 4 play a supporting and fixing role for the patient's head and neck;

[0033] The cover plate 5 is rotated, and the card slot 52 on the cover plate 5 is just embedded in the card block 32, so that the cover plate 5 covers the front position of the neck, and the cover plate 5 and the neck slot support plate 3 work together to limit the patient's neck, so that the patient's neck can be prevented from moving, and the air vent 51 is just facing the position of the patient's thyroid surgery, which is convenient for ventilation;

[0034] When it is necessary to adjust the patient's head and neck angle in a small range, the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 7 is extended to push the connecting rod 6 forward. The upper end of the connecting rod 6 can push the middle plate 2, so that the middle plate 2 and the upper head slot support plate 4 and neck slot support plate 3 move tilted together. The electric push rod 7 is extended a certain distance so that the connecting rod 6 can be fixed at a certain position. The supporting effect of the connecting rod 6 on the middle plate 2 and the upper head slot support plate 4 and neck slot support plate 3 enables the patient's head, neck and shoulders to be slightly lifted, thereby relieving fatigue from long-term fixed posture and promoting wound recovery.
