[0002] Breast cancer is one of the most common and most prevalent malignant tumors in women worldwide. Postoperative lymphedema after breast cancer surgery is a chronic, permanent and difficult-to-cure complication that seriously reduces the patient's quality of life. Therefore, early detection, effective prevention and treatment of postoperative lymphedema of the affected limbs of patients is the main task of nursing, and accurate measurement is the key to the entire nursing process. At present, upper limb circumference measurement is widely used in clinical practice. A non-elastic soft tape is used to measure the circumference of bilateral limbs. The measurement points are usually selected from the base of the thumb, the transverse wrist crease of the upper limb, 10 cm above the transverse wrist crease, the cubital fossa and 10 cm above the cubital fossa, and the top of the armpit, a total of 6 circumferences. This measurement method is relatively simple. When measuring, only one tape measure is needed. It is suitable for any occasion and patients can measure at home. However, due to the difficulty in fixing the position, the tape measures on the market have poor quality and accuracy, and it is inconvenient for patients to operate with one hand. Especially for obese patients, factors such as the tightness of the tape measure will cause measurement errors, which seriously affect the measurement results. Utility Model Content

[0032] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the utility model, the utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory and should not have any limiting effect on the protection scope of the utility model.

[0033] like Figure 1-4As shown, a breast cancer lymphedema measuring ruler comprises a measuring ruler body 1, the measuring ruler body 1 is provided with an anti-slip rubber pad 2, a soft ruler 3, a binding strap 4, a fixing ring 5 and a fixing seat 6, the soft ruler 3 is provided with a mounting seat 7 and a stopper 8, the mounting seat 7 is provided with a clamping block 9, the fixing seat 6 is provided with a card slot 10 adapted to the clamping block 9, a magnet A11 is provided in the card slot 10, and a magnet B12 is provided on the clamping block 9, and the magnet A11 is connected to the magnet B12 by magnetic attraction, the binding strap 4 is provided with a Velcro 13, and the Velcro 13 is bonded to the outer surface adhesive layer of the binding strap 4, the utility model is easy to fix and measure, convenient for patients to operate with one hand, and can increase the convenience of operation and measurement, thereby In order to reduce the measurement error, the length of the measuring ruler body 1 is 10 cm. By measuring the length of the measuring ruler body 1 of 10 cm, it is convenient to meet the direct positioning of 10 cm on the wrist crease and 10 cm on the elbow fossa. The strap 4 is located on the side wall of one end of the measuring ruler body 1, and the Velcro 13 is arranged at the movable end of the strap 4. Through the establishment of the strap 4, it is convenient to surround the patient's limbs. The fixing ring 5 corresponds to the setting position of the strap 4 and is arranged at the top of the other side of the measuring ruler body 1. The movable end of the strap 4 is connected to the fixing ring 5 through a sleeve. By first aligning the setting end of the soft ruler 3 of the measuring ruler body 1 with the measuring point, and then placing the measuring ruler body 1 on the patient's limb, and then using the strap 4 to surround the patient's limb, the movable end of the strap 4 is moved from The measuring ruler body 1 can be fixed in position by passing through the fixing ring 5, and finally folding back and tightening the bandage 4, so that the Velcro 13 is adhered to the adhesive layer on the outer surface of the bandage 4 at a suitable distance. The soft ruler 3 is located on the side wall of the other end of the measuring ruler body 1 away from the bandage 4. The establishment of the soft ruler 3 can facilitate the measurement of the circumference of the patient's limb. The fixing seat 6 corresponds to the setting position of the soft ruler 3 and is set on the other side of the same end face of the measuring ruler body 1, and the card slot 10 is opened at the middle position of the other side of the fixing seat 6 away from the measuring ruler body 1. The card slot 10 on the fixing seat 6 can facilitate the engagement of the card block 9, so that after the card block 9 is inserted into the card slot 10, the magnet A11 is connected by magnetic attraction with the magnet B12, so that the mounting seat 7 can be positioned. The mounting seat 7 is sleeved on the outer end of the soft ruler 3, and the stopper 8 is arranged at the movable end of the soft ruler 3. The mounting seat 7 is sleeved on the outer end of the soft ruler 3. When the soft ruler 3 surrounds the patient's measuring point limb and then the mounting seat 7 is fixed to the side end of the fixing seat 6, the stopper 8 can be pinched to pull the soft ruler 3 to move, so that the soft ruler 3 surrounds and fully fits the patient's limb to measure the circumference, and the setting of the stopper 8 can also effectively prevent the mounting seat 7 from falling out. The measuring ruler body 1 and the bottom end of the fixing seat 6 are both provided with anti-skid rubber pads 2. Through the setting of the anti-skid rubber pads 2, and the anti-skid rubber pads 2 are made of silicone material with a certain viscosity, when they are in contact with the patient's skin, the friction coefficient can be increased, the stability when they are in contact and placed can be enhanced, and the sliding displacement can be prevented.

[0034] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when in use, first align the setting end of the soft ruler 3 of the measuring ruler body 1 with the measuring point, then put the measuring ruler body 1 on the patient's limb, then use the strap 4 to surround the patient's limb, so that the movable end of the strap 4 passes through the fixing ring 5, and finally fold and tighten the strap 4, so that the Velcro 13 is adhered to the adhesive layer on the outer surface of the strap 4 at a suitable distance, so that the measuring ruler body 1 can be fixed in position. When the measuring ruler body 1 is fixed, it is only necessary to use the soft ruler 3 to surround the patient's measuring point limb, and then insert the clamping block 9 of the mounting seat 7 into the clamping groove 10 of the fixing seat 6, so that the magnet A11 is aligned with the magnet A12. B12 is connected by magnetic attraction to complete the fixing operation of the mounting base 7, that is, the stopper 8 can be pinched to pull the tape measure 3 to move, so that the tape measure 3 surrounds and fully fits the patient's limb to measure the circumference, and the setting of the stopper 8 can also effectively prevent the mounting base 7 from falling out. The setting of the anti-slip rubber pad 2, and the anti-slip rubber pad 2 is made of a silicone material with a certain viscosity, can increase the friction coefficient when it fits with the patient's skin, enhance the stability when it is placed in contact, and prevent it from sliding and displacement. The length of the measuring ruler body 1 is 10 cm, which can facilitate the direct positioning of 10 cm on the wrist crease and 10 cm on the elbow fossa.
