[0043] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the claims attached to this application.
[0044] See also Figures 1 to 8, Specific embodiment 1, this embodiment 1 provides a nursing chest belt for use after sternotomy, the nursing chest belt for use after sternotomy includes a chest belt body 1, the chest belt body 1 includes a back piece 1-1 and two sets of elastic band modules, the back piece 1-1 is provided with a left piece 1-2-1 and a right piece 1-2-2 on both sides, the back piece 1-1 is provided with a left strap 1-3-1 and a right strap 1-3-2 on both sides, the left strap 1-3-1 is located on the outside of the left side, and the right strap 1-3-2 is located on the outside of the right piece 1-2-2;
[0045] A vertical left felt cloth 1-4-1 and a vertical right felt cloth 1-4-2 are respectively provided on both sides of the outer side of the back piece 1-1;
[0046] Each group of elastic band modules includes a left elastic band 3-1 and a right elastic band 3-2. A vertical first hook surface 3-1-2 is provided at one end of the inner side surface of the left elastic band 3-1, and the first hook surface 3-1-2 corresponds to the left felt cloth 1-4-1; a vertical first felt cloth 3-1-1 is provided at one end of the outer side surface of the left elastic band 3-1 away from the first hook surface 3-1-2, and a vertical second hook surface 3-2-1 and a third hook surface 3-2-2 are provided at both ends of the inner side surface of the right elastic band 3-2, respectively, the second hook surface 3-2-1 corresponds to the right felt cloth 1-4-2, and the third hook surface 3-2-2 corresponds to the first felt cloth 3-1-1.
[0047] The nursing chest belt for post-sternotomy in this embodiment 1 is used. First, the back piece 1-1 is placed on the patient's back, and then the left piece 1-2-1 and the right piece 1-2-2 are covered on the patient's front chest to protect the patient's sternotomy; then, the left tie 1-3-1 and the right tie 1-3-2 are cross-tied on the left piece 1-2-1 and the right piece 1-2-2 in sequence to fix the patient's chest and achieve reasonable external fixation of the sternum, and then the first hook surface 3-1-2 on the inner side of one or two left elastic bands 3-1 is pasted on the left wool cloth 1-4-1 (i.e., the Velcro wool surface), and the second hook surface 3-2-1 on the inner side of the corresponding one or two right elastic bands 3-2 is pasted on The right felt cloth 1-4-2 (i.e., the Velcro surface) is used to tighten the left elastic band 3-1 and the right elastic band 3-2. After wrapping the chest tightly, the third hook surface 3-2-2 on the inner side of the right elastic band 3-2 is attached to the first felt cloth 3-1-1 on the outer side of the left elastic band 3-1, so as to wrap the entire chest of the patient and maintain a more stable wrapping force. If the left tie 1-3-1 and the right tie 1-3-2 become loose after being manually knotted, the left elastic band 3-1 and the right elastic band 3-2 can cooperate to provide a certain pressure for the patient's chest, effectively avoiding displacement of the chest strap, ensuring that the end face of the sternum after incision can always maintain the correct compression position, and the sternum after incision can always be well fixed to help better recovery after surgery. Reasonable sternal external fixation can relieve wound pain, reduce tension at the sternotomy, and effectively prevent abnormal breathing. Appropriate external fixation can also fix the wound dressing and drainage tube well on the chest, promote early bed rest after surgery, increase the total amount of activity, and reduce the occurrence of pulmonary complications.
[0048] The nursing chest belt used after sternotomy in this embodiment 1 has a certain elasticity and will not be wrapped too tightly, so as to avoid the chest belt being too tight, which may cause skin strangulation and secondary infection, increasing the patient's average hospital stay and cost. Avoiding the chest belt being too tight will cause the patient to have a weak cough and poor sputum discharge, which may easily cause lung infection. Avoiding the chest belt being too tight will reduce the chest rise and fall, reduce the tidal volume, and may affect the patient's respiratory function and delay postoperative recovery.
[0049] The width of the left elastic band 3-1 and the right elastic band 3-2 (H3 in the figure) are the same, and the width of the left elastic band 3-1 and the right elastic band 3-2 is half of the width of the back piece 1-1 (H1 in the figure). When two sets of elastic band modules are used, the two left elastic bands 3-1 are arranged up and down, and the two right elastic bands 3-2 are arranged up and down to wrap the entire chest of the patient and maintain a more stable wrapping force. Especially when used by female patients, the upper set of elastic band modules can be relaxed to maintain a stable wrapping force on the patient's sternotomy without compressing the breast. That is to say, by flexibly adjusting the bonding position of the upper set of left elastic bands 3-1 and right elastic bands 3-2, the size of the chest strap is adjusted to provide the patient with the most appropriate support and protection for the chest.
[0050] Alternatively, according to the patient's recovery condition, a set of elastic band modules can be selected for use, with the left elastic band 3-1 and the right elastic band 3-2 covering the patient's sternotomy, with emphasis on wrapping the entire sternotomy on the patient's chest (covering at least more than half of the patient's chest). This not only maintains a stable wrapping force on the sternotomy, but also reduces the coverage area of the chest by the elastic band modules, thereby improving patient comfort and compliance, and is suitable for patients of different age groups or for patients of different genders.
[0051] The nursing chest belt used after sternotomy in this embodiment 1 significantly reduces the risk of complications and accelerates the recovery process, thereby shortening the length of hospitalization and reducing related medical expenses, improving the overall satisfaction with postoperative care, and bringing a better care experience to patients, their families and medical staff. It is also convenient for family members to help patients wear the nursing chest belt accurately during the recovery period at home.
[0052] If there are more than two or three sets of elastic band modules, the fixing or wrapping effect on the left and right sides will be unstable, which is not conducive to the precise fixation of the sternum after incision and increases the workload of medical staff (for example, the tightness of multiple elastic band modules needs to be repeatedly adjusted to make the overall tightness of the chest wrapping by more than three sets of elastic band modules consistent, which is more complicated).
[0053] See also Figures 9 and 10 , Specific embodiment 2, this embodiment 2 provides a nursing chest belt for use after sternotomy, the difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that: the outer side of the right elastic band 3-2 is provided with a drainage tube fixing device 4, the drainage tube fixing device 4 includes a fixing patch 4-4, the outer side of the fixing patch 4-4 is provided with a third felt cloth 4-1, the third felt cloth 4-1 is provided with three strip-shaped adhesive parts 4-5 for fixing the drainage tube 5-1, the ends of the three strip-shaped adhesive parts 4-5 are fixed to the outer side of the third felt cloth 4-1 by foam tape 4-3, the end parts of the three strip-shaped adhesive parts 4-5 are located on both sides of the foam tape 4-3, and the three strip-shaped adhesive parts 4-5 are provided with a fifth hook surface 4-2 adhered to the third felt cloth 4-1;
[0054] The inner side of the fixing patch 4-4 is provided with a fourth hook surface (not shown in the attached figure), and the outer side of the right elastic band 3-2 is provided with a second felt cloth 3-2-3, and the fourth hook surface and the second felt cloth 3-2-3 are connected by adhesive bonding. The fixing patch 4-4 is adjusted to different adhesive positions on the right elastic band 3-2 according to the position of the drainage tube 5-1, and then the fixing patch 4-4 and the right elastic band 3-2 are connected by adhesive bonding through the fourth hook surface and the second felt cloth 3-2-3, which is more flexible and convenient to use.
[0055] When two sets of elastic band modules are used, the gap between the two right elastic bands 3-2 is used for the drainage tube 5-1 to pass through, and the drainage tube 5-1 is then fixed by the strip adhesive portion 4-5 and the third felt cloth 4-1 to avoid unnecessary positional displacement of the drainage tube 5-1. The drainage tube 5-1 is connected to the drainage bag 5.
[0056] See also Figure 11 to Figure 12 , Specific embodiment 3, this embodiment 3 provides a nursing chest belt for use after sternotomy, and the difference between this embodiment 3 and the previous embodiment is that:
[0057] The back piece 1-1 is provided with a transverse reinforcement part 2 to increase the transverse strength of the back piece 1-1, which is suitable for repeated use of the nursing chest belt; the outer side of the transverse reinforcement part 2 is provided with a fixing sleeve 2-1 or a fixing strap for fixing the vertical support plate 7. The vertical support plate 7 can prevent the patient's chest from bending, especially when the patient is in a supine position, the cushion under the back is soft, and the back is prone to bending. Once the back is bent, it will affect the alignment position of the sternotomy and affect the recovery of the sternotomy.
[0058] The outer side surface of the vertical support plate 7 is provided with a groove portion 7-1 for installing the transverse support plate 8. When the transverse support plate 8 is embedded in the groove, the transverse support plate 8 and the vertical support plate 7 are installed. The transverse support plate 8 and the vertical support plate 7 form a back support plane. When the patient is in a supine position, the back cushion is softer, and the back support plane can well support the patient's back, so that the patient in the supine position can have a chest stretching effect when lying flat, ensuring the alignment of the sternotomy position, the recovery of the sternotomy is good, and the recovery time is shortened.
[0059] Specific embodiment 4, this embodiment 4 provides a nursing chest belt for use after sternotomy, and the difference between this embodiment 4 and the previous embodiment is that:
[0060] The left elastic band 3-1 and the right elastic band 3-2 are both made of mesh elastic bands, which are suitable for female patients. The left elastic band 3-1 and the right elastic band 3-2 are both made of fish silk elastic bands, which are suitable for male patients and teenagers and should not slip down. Both elastic bands are soft and close to the skin, breathable and sweat-absorbent, and have long-lasting elasticity. They can not only achieve good wrapping, but also give appropriate pressure and are not easy to shift. In terms of material, the chest strap body 1 is made of soft and skin-friendly Toray fabric, which has the characteristics of sweat absorption and quick drying, antibacterial and odor-resistant, and not easy to deform.
[0061] The left elastic band 3-1 and the right elastic band 3-2 are modularly designed. After disassembly, the chest strap body 1, the left elastic band 3-1 and the right elastic band 3-2 are easy to clean, not easily deformed, and can be used repeatedly.
[0062] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
