Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and more specifically, to a mandibular fixation device with an ice compress function. Background Art
[0002] In the prior art, for the devices used for compression and ice compress after thyroid surgery, the form of local compression bandaging with thick gauze blocks and the use of mandibular supports are usually adopted. For local compression bandaging with thick gauze blocks, ice is generally used for ice compress in the form of being filled in an infusion bottle or an infusion bag, and a sandbag of 0.5 - 1 kg is used for compression to relieve pain and reduce swelling. However, for local bandaging with thick gauze blocks supplemented by local compression with a sandbag, it is difficult to control the position and strength, which affects the compression effect. And using ice for ice compress easily causes the gauze block to become wet, which may cause wound inflammation or frostbite.
[0003] Currently, the mandibular supports on the market are more suitable for patients undergoing plastic surgery and beauty treatment, with insufficient compression on the submental and lateral cervical regions and no consideration of the ice compress function, and are not suitable for patients after thyroid resection surgery. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The utility model aims to overcome at least one defect of the above prior art, and provides a mandibular fixation device with an ice compress function, which is used to solve the problems that the direction and strength are difficult to adjust during compression, and wound inflammation or frostbite may be caused by ice compress.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is a mandibular fixation device with an ice compress function, which includes a mandibular fixation band and an ice compress component. An installation hole is provided in the middle of the mandibular fixation band. The ice compress component includes a heat-conducting silica gel bag and a balloon for placing ice crystals. The heat-conducting silica gel bag is provided with an opening, and the balloon is encapsulated inside the heat-conducting silica gel bag through the opening. The heat-conducting silica gel bag is installed in the installation hole.
[0006] In the mandibular compression fixation and ice compress after surgery, the direction of mandibular fixation is adjusted through the head bandage, occipital bandage, and posterior cervical bandage. By using the balloon filled with ice crystals instead of ice for ice compress, the ice crystals can better fill the balloon, are easier to deform, and the ice crystal distribution is more uniform, which can effectively avoid the gauze block becoming wet and causing frostbite due to the melting of ice during ice compress. Encapsulating the balloon inside the heat-conducting silica gel ensures that the balloon does not shift during ice compress, accurately acts on the affected part, and further avoids the gauze block becoming wet and causing frostbite due to the melting of ice during ice compress.
[0007] To ensure the stability of mandibular fixation, the mandibular fixation band includes a head bandage, an occipital bandage, and a posterior cervical bandage, which are sequentially connected to the base band from top to bottom.
[0008] The head bandage, occipital bandage, and posterior cervical bandage each include a left bandage and a right bandage. One end of the left bandage is connected to one end of the base band, and one end of the right bandage is connected to the other end of the base band. A fixing device is provided between the other ends of the left bandage and the right bandage.
[0009] To facilitate adjusting the direction of mandibular fixation, the fixing device is a magic tape. Hook-and-loop fasteners that cooperate with each other are sewn at the ends of the head bandage, occipital bandage, and posterior cervical bandage for fitting and fixing.
[0010] To improve the stability of mandibular fixation, adjust the pressing force, and prevent the gauze from getting wet, the device further includes a movable bandage that is additionally wound and fixed outside the mandibular fixation band. The movable bandage includes a first fixing device and a second fixing device. The pressing force is adjusted by adjusting the tightness of the movable bandage. The movable bandage is additionally wound and fixed outside the mandibular fixation band, effectively fixing the heat-conducting silica gel bag and isolating the water vapor in the outside air.
[0011] To facilitate adjusting the movable bandage, the first fixing device and the second fixing device are magic tapes. Hook-and-loop fasteners that cooperate with each other are sewn at both ends of the movable bandage for fitting and fixing.
[0012] To improve the wearing comfort, the mandibular fixation band is provided with two symmetrical ear avoidance holes, and the shape of the ear avoidance holes is oval.
[0013] To better fit the mandibular part, the heat-conducting silica gel bag is designed to be oval. The heat-conducting silica gel bag is larger than the mounting hole. The long axis of the oval is along the direction of the ear avoidance holes, fitting the horizontal part of the mandible. The short axis of the oval fits the vertical part of the mandible respectively, ensuring that the oval covers the entire mandible and will not fall off.
[0014] To facilitate replacing the balloon, a zipper is provided on the opening, and the balloon is taken out and fixed by opening and closing the zipper.
[0015] To improve the comfort of the patient, the movable bandage, mandibular fixation band, head bandage, occipital bandage, and posterior cervical bandage of the mandibular fixation device are all made of high-elastic velvet fabric.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: During the pressurized ice compress process, by placing the ice crystal balloon into the heat-conducting silica gel bag and installing it in the mounting hole of the cloth band on the mandible, it effectively avoids the ice block melting during the ice compress process, causing the gauze block to get wet and resulting in frostbite. The direction of mandibular fixation is adjusted through the head bandage, occipital bandage, and posterior cervical bandage. The pressing force is adjusted through the movable bandage, the heat-conducting silica gel bag is fixed, and the water vapor in the air is isolated, further avoiding the gauze block from getting wet.

[0024] The drawings of the present utility model are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model. For better illustration of the following embodiments, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced, which do not represent the dimensions of the actual product; for those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the drawings may be omitted.
[0025] The pain points solved by the present utility model are:
[0026] It is difficult to adjust the direction and strength during the pressurization process: in the form of local pressure bandaging with thick gauze pads and assisted pressurization with sandbags, it is difficult to control the position and strength; when using a mandibular support for fixation, the pressing strength is insufficient.
[0027] The wound may become inflamed or frostbitten during the ice compress process: for ice compress, ice in infusion bags or infusion bottles is used for ice compress. When the outside air meets the cold, it liquefies, causing the gauze pads to become wet and resulting in wound inflammation; when using an ice bag for ice compress on the affected part, if there is no isolation layer or the isolation layer is too thin, it is easy to cause frostbite.
