Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a support for maintaining the shape after ear surgery. Background Art
[0002] Auricular deformities include auricular malformation and auricular deformation. Auricular malformation refers to the external ear deformity caused by the hypoplasia of ear skin and cartilage in the early stage of embryonic development, that is, the commonly said microtia; auricular deformation refers to the distortion and deformation of the auricle caused by abnormal development of auricular muscles or external abnormal forces, without obvious cartilage deficiency. If auricular deformities cannot be corrected in the early stage after birth, surgical treatment is often required after the age of 5 or 6, and there are risks such as postoperative infection, hematoma, and secondary repair surgery. Among them, the most common problem is postoperative wound scar contracture. Postoperative wound contracture will cause changes in the auricular shape compared with that immediately after surgery, and the size and range of contracture cannot be estimated in advance. In the most serious cases, the shape will return to the preoperative state, that is, the recurrence of auricular deformity. At present, there is no specific treatment method for this problem. The commonly used clinical method is to use 3M medical tape for external fixation, or to use an auricular orthosis to assist in maintaining the postoperative shape. The above-mentioned methods cannot effectively deal with the problem of postoperative wound contracture because they are not personalized enough and the support strength is limited. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a personalized auricular shape retainer based on the patient's auricular shape to maintain the shape after auricular deformity correction.

[0029] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] Embodiment 1: Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the embodiment of the present invention provides a support member for maintaining the postoperative shape of an ear, including:
[0031] Inner fitting layer 40;
[0032] The outer truss 30 is in the shape of a cover body, and one side edge of the outer truss 30 is connected to the inner fitting layer 40;
[0033] The support unit 20, the number of the support units 20 is multiple, the support unit 20 is an elastic component, the support unit 20 is arranged between the inner fitting layer 40 and the outer truss 30, one end of the support unit 20 is connected to the inner fitting layer 40, and the inner side of the outer truss 30 is connected to the other end of the support unit 20.
[0034] The inner fitting layer 40 in this embodiment is a solid structure. In the present invention, the thickness of the inner fitting layer 40 is about 2 - 5 cm, and the thickness of the solid part can be designed according to the actual situation. The outer side of the inner fitting layer 40 is a crystalline structure.
[0035] A support member for maintaining the shape after ear surgery provided in this embodiment includes an inner fitting layer 40, an outer truss 30, and a support unit 20. The inner fitting layer 40 is consistent with the shape of the patient's auricle and fits with the auricle. The outer truss 30 is connected to the inner fitting layer 40. The support member in this embodiment is used for the retainer 10, and the retainer 10 acts on the outer truss 30. Since the support unit 20 is arranged between the inner fitting layer 40 and the outer truss 30, and the support unit 20 has elasticity, its elastic force acting on the inner fitting layer 40 can improve comfort and support.
[0036] In a further feasible implementation manner of this embodiment, the support unit 20 includes a plurality of elastic support rods 201. One ends of the plurality of elastic support rods 201 are connected to each other to form a vertex, and the plurality of elastic support rods 201 extend radially outward with the vertex facing outward.
[0037] One ends of the plurality of elastic support rods 201 in this embodiment are connected to each other to form a vertex, which can make the force more concentrated.
[0038] In a further feasible implementation manner of this embodiment, the number of the elastic support rods 201 of each support unit 20 is three.
[0039] In a further feasible implementation manner of this embodiment, the included angle between every two adjacent elastic support rods 201 is 30° to 60°.
[0040] In a further feasible implementation manner of this embodiment, the end of the support unit 20 forming the vertex is connected to the inner fitting layer 40, and the other end of the support unit 20 is connected to the outer truss 30.
[0041] One end of the support unit 20 in this embodiment that forms a vertex is connected to the inner fitting layer 40, which can concentrate the force on the inner fitting layer 40 and diffuse it along the support unit 20 towards the outer truss 30. This can not only improve stability but also prevent damage to the auricle when receiving impact. Additionally, it is more conducive to the recovery of the auricle after surgery.
[0042] Specifically, the support member in this embodiment can compress the support unit 20 during the growth of the auricle, which is beneficial to postoperative recovery.
[0043] The support unit 20 is composed of three support rods. One ends of the three support rods are connected together and evenly connected to the inner layer. The other ends of the support rods are connected to the vertices of the outer truss. The support rods within each group of support units form an angle of 30° to 60° with each other, and together with the outer truss and the inner fitting layer, they form a stable shape, ensuring no deformation under a certain intensity of impact and providing sufficient support force for the entire retainer. And on the premise of ensuring the strength, the entire retainer has more pores, lighter weight, reduces the sense of sag, and is more comfortable to wear. The outer truss presents a honeycomb shape, reducing the weight while ensuring the strength.
[0044] In a further implementable manner of this embodiment, the outer truss 30 is a soft rubber part.
[0045] In a further implementable manner of this embodiment, the support unit 20 is a soft rubber part.
[0046] In a further implementable manner of this embodiment, hexagonal perforations 301 are formed on the outer truss 30 to make the outer truss 30 present a honeycomb shape.
[0047] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, a channel is further provided on the inner fitting layer 40. Both ends of the channel are open on both sides of the inner fitting layer 40, and a large opening 302 is provided on the outer truss 30. The large opening 302 corresponds to the inner opening 401 of the channel. The outer opening of the channel is consistent with the surgical position of the auricle. This channel can facilitate the injection of drugs. Specifically, after the retainer 10 is installed, it is inconvenient to replace the drugs. Especially for some drugs that are helpful for postoperative recovery, the retainer 10 needs to be disassembled together with the soft rubber to replace the drugs. However, in this embodiment, the drug can be directly injected through a syringe 60. The syringe barrel is inserted through the large opening 302, and the drug is injected into the channel from the inner opening 401 without disassembling the soft rubber, and then flows through the outer opening to the postoperative wound site.
[0048] See Figures 6 to 11 This embodiment also provides a preparation method for the support member.
[0049] It should be noted that the specific structure of the support member for maintaining the shape after ear surgery has been described in the above embodiments, and the specific structure of the support member will not be elaborated herein;

[0099] S2035: Use the tubular generation tool to obtain the support unit structure.
[0100] The support of this embodiment strengthens the structures of different structural partitions of the postoperative ear or reduces the weight and thickness of the parts that do not require support. Compared with the fully solid structure, it is more plastic in terms of fit and has the effect of balanced support. For products worn on the head, the lighter the weight, the better. At the same time, it also has functions such as ventilation, sweating, and protection. In addition, due to the special structure of the lattice structure, there is a certain amount of space that can be compressed, which can enable the overall postoperative auricle to naturally recover to the repaired contour without feeling compression, increasing the service life of the product.
[0101] The auricle retainer is a personalized customized product that helps patients with auricle deformities recover after surgery. The individual differences among different patients are extremely large, mainly reflected in: 1. The shapes of the postoperative auricles of patients are different, the patient conditions are different, and the performance points of the products to be worn are also different. 2. The individual recovery periods and effects of patients are not completely consistent, so the wearing times are also different. 3. Different retainers with different strengths and shapes need to be matched during different recovery periods to maintain the effects.
[0102] This product belongs to medical products and is affiliated with the field of medical devices. As we all know, 3D printing technology has significant advantages in many aspects compared with traditional manufacturing methods in the medical field, mainly including the following aspects:
[0103] 1. Rapid prototyping: 3D printing can complete the manufacturing of complex parts in a short time, especially suitable for rapid prototyping.
[0104] 2. Personalized customization: 3D printing technology can customize unique products according to individual needs without additional costs, especially suitable for small-batch and personalized production, meeting the actual patient needs targeted by this product.
[0105] 3. Complex Geometric Shapes and Internal Structures: Traditional manufacturing methods are limited by processing equipment and technologies, with limited ability to realize complex designs such as complex internal channels, nested structures, and non-uniform material distributions. The auricle has a complex anatomical structure. Anatomical structures such as the scaphoid fossa, triangular fossa, and concha cavity, which are often involved in auricle deformity correction surgeries, have relatively large changes in postoperative morphology compared to pre-operation, and are key anatomical regions for maintaining postoperative morphology. Due to their complex shapes, traditional processing methods have significant drawbacks. 3D printing can directly manufacture parts of almost any complex shape, including integrated, hollow, porous, and topologically optimized structures, significantly expanding the design freedom, especially having significant advantages for the lattice structure of this product. Specifically, it is manifested as follows: The lattice of this product requires high structural strength, with thin rod structures (0.5 - 1 mm) to maintain the lattice and dense lattice holes. Additionally, in terms of material utilization and resource conservation: 3D printing adds materials layer by layer and only deposits at the required places, reducing material waste. Especially when manufacturing complex curved surfaces, the material utilization rate is usually higher than that of traditional mold opening manufacturing.
[0106] 4. Cost Reduction and Supply Chain Shortening: 3D printing does not require expensive traditional molds. Especially for one-time or small-batch production, it can significantly reduce manufacturing costs, which is of great significance to patients, manifested as more controllable medical costs and higher patient acceptance.
[0107] 5. Desktop Printing and Digital Design: The small desktop 3D printer used in this product has a small footprint, can be flexibly moved, and its parts are easy to replace, enabling manufacturing activities to be directly carried out in hospital laboratories, reducing the dependence on large factory facilities, achieving local and immediate production, and thus avoiding problems such as inventory generation and excessive occupation of hospital internal space. The high combination of digital software and 3D printing technology hardware provides great operability and feasibility for doctors to create product models after postoperative scans of more complex patient auricles.
[0108] 6. Material Diversity and Function Integration: Since this product needs to directly contact the patient's wound, the research and application of biocompatible printing materials provide the possibility for the large-scale use of this product. In addition to the core soft rubber functional components, other components of the auricle retainer, such as protective covers and buckle parts, can also be produced by the same technology and machine by changing materials. Doctors can complete the production and assembly of all components in one place, greatly reducing the product production cycle and logistics costs, and achieving a high degree of integration of product functions.
[0109] In summary, due to its advantages such as rapid prototyping, personalized customization, manufacturing of complex structures, high material utilization rate, cost and supply chain optimization, and material diversity and function integration, 3D printing technology shows a high degree of compatibility in the manufacturing process of each component of this product. Moreover, with the continuous development of 3D printing technology and material research and development and the further reduction of costs, its application scale is expected to continue to expand.
[0110] The production process of the lattice for the customized soft rubber part after 3D scanning and importing into the computer (including the process description of strengthening or reducing weight and thickness for different structural partitions after ear surgery, the design of the retainer is exported as an STL file and imported into the PreForm software (version 3.21.0, Formlabs, Inc, Somerville, Mass). All printed products are manufactured using a Form3B+ printer (Formlabs) and a resin with a hardness of 80 A (BioMed Flex 80A Resin, Formlabs) that has good biocompatibility. The support material, positioning, and layout are automatically generated by the printing software program. After the printing process is completed, the part is removed from the platform using a spatula and post-processing begins. The part is soaked in 99% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) for 20 minutes, gently pulled out, and then washed for another 10 minutes. After the washing process is completed, the part is completely dried at room temperature for one hour. Finally, the dried part is placed in a glass beaker, and the beaker is immersed in water to polymerize the part. Curing is completed in a UV curing unit (Form Cure; Formlabs) at 60 °C for 10 minutes. The part is dried on a dry paper towel.
[0111] Example 2: Refer to Figure 5 , the difference between this example and Example 1 is that an elastic sphere 50 is provided at the vertex of the support unit 20. The interior of the elastic sphere 50 is in a cavity state to form an accommodation space inside, and an outlet 501 is formed at the top of the elastic sphere 50. The top of the elastic sphere 50 is connected to the inner side of the inner fitting layer 40, and the outlet 501 at the top of the elastic sphere 50 communicates with the inner opening 401 of the channel. The accommodation space inside the elastic sphere 50 can be used to accommodate a medicament that helps with postoperative recovery. During the recovery process of the auricle after surgery, the medicament inside the elastic sphere 50 is transported to the surgical site of the auricle through the channel by the elastic sphere 50. Additionally, an adsorption layer can be provided on one side of the inner fitting layer 40. The adsorption layer can be made of materials such as sponge. The medicament discharged by squeezing the elastic sphere 50 first flows to the adsorption layer and then diffuses through the entire adsorption layer by osmosis, which can make the distribution of the medicament more uniform and help the medicament come into full contact with the surgical site. Through the setting of the elastic sphere 50, the use of the medicament can be made more convenient.
