Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice bags, in particular to a hydrocolloid physical cooling ice bag. Background Art

[0002] In the medical field, there is also a product called "hydrocolloid dressing", which is a new type of wound dressing. Its main components include sodium carboxymethylcellulose, synthetic elastomer, medical adhesive, synthetic plasticizer and surface polyurethane semi-permeable membrane. This dressing can absorb the liquid exuded from the wound and form a gel, avoiding the adhesion of the dressing to the wound surface, while maintaining the exchange of oxygen and water vapor and having a barrier to foreign substances outside.

[0003] Hydrocolloids can usually be dissolved in water in large quantities. The main reasons for this are the existing charge carriers and the water on the large hydrate shell of the hydrocolloid. These characteristics can stabilize the hydrocolloid in the aqueous solution and form a gel substance. In the care of postoperative patients, some patients will have symptoms such as fever and wound swelling, especially those who have undergone thoracotomy. During the care process, ice bags are needed to physically cool the patients. Most of the existing ice bags are relatively small individual ice bags. Due to the small size of the ice bags, multiple ice bags are needed to ice different parts of the body during use. Since patients generally lie flat on the hospital bed, when icing the neck and armpits, the ice bags cannot fit the body well and need to be assisted with clothes or other items, which is very inconvenient during use. Therefore, this technical solution is specifically proposed for improvement. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiency that the existing ice bags are inconvenient to use on the shoulders, necks and armpits, and provide a hydrocolloid physical cooling ice bag.

[0006] Further, the cross-section of the fixed frame is an inverted trapezoid, and the middle position of the fixed frame is hollow.

[0007] Further, the middle position of the connection between the neck bag and the fixed frame is hollowed out, and arc-shaped parts for fitting the sides of the human neck are arranged on both sides of the neck bag.

[0008] Further, one side of the underarm bag near the fixing frame is arranged along the width direction of the fixing frame, the other side of the underarm bag is arranged as an arc edge, and indentations are arranged along the length direction on the bag body of the underarm bag.

[0009] Further, the connecting device is a snap edge arranged on the side of the armpit part, an inwardly concave arc part is arranged on the side of the shoulder bag near the neck, and two protruding side ears are arranged on the side of the shoulder bag near the upper limb part of the human body.

[0010] Further, the chest and abdomen bag includes a covering area arranged in the middle position, auxiliary edges for connecting the underarm bag are arranged on both sides of the covering area, and connection points are arranged on the upper surfaces of the auxiliary edges and the underarm bag.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present utility model are as follows: Different neck bags, underarm bags, shoulder bags and chest and abdomen bags are arranged around the fixing frame according to different parts of the human body, and all are filled with hydrocolloid gel. The best fit is achieved by adjusting the positions of the indentations, side ears and connection points, which can effectively solve the problem that existing ice bags are prone to slipping and inconvenient to use in the armpits and shoulder and neck parts during the postoperative care of patients, improve the comfort and effect of ice application, and reduce the work burden of medical staff.

[0015] The preferred embodiments of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principle of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] See Figures 1 to 2, An embodiment of the utility model discloses a hydrocolloid physical cooling ice pack, which includes a fixing frame 1 placed on the chest of a human body. Around the fixing frame 1, different neck bags 2, armpit bags 3, shoulder bags 4 and chest and abdomen bags 5 are provided according to different parts of the human body, and all are filled with hydrocolloid gel. The hydrocolloid gel is mainly composed of sodium carboxymethylcellulose, synthetic elastomer, medical adhesive and synthetic plasticizer, which are mixed in a certain proportion to form a gel-like substance that can stably exist in an aqueous solution. This gel has good water absorption, water retention and moderate hardness, and is suitable for physical cooling without causing a sense of compression on the skin.

[0017] The fixing frame 1 is made of a light and hard material, such as medical-grade plastic. Its cross-section is designed as an inverted trapezoid, avoiding the wound so that one end of the armpit part can cover the part under the rib, improving the use effect of the ice pack and providing a positioning effect for the whole device. The middle position of the fixing frame 1 is designed to be hollow to facilitate ventilation and reduce the compression on the wound, while reducing the overall weight.

[0018] The neck bag 2 is located at the top of the fixing frame 1. The middle position of the connection with the fixing frame 1 is hollowed out to better adapt to the neck contour, and it can avoid the intubation part for patients with intubation, and implement ice compress on both sides of the neck. The two sides of the neck bag 2 are designed as arc parts to increase the structural strength and ensure that it can closely fit the side of the human neck, improving the ice compress effect.

[0019] The armpit bags 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the fixing frame 1. The side near the fixing frame 1 is arranged along the width direction of the fixing frame 1, and the other side is designed as an arc edge to better fit the armpit curve. On the bag body of the armpit bag 3, a plurality of indentations are arranged along the length direction to facilitate adjusting the shape of the bag according to the patient's body type, ensuring the structural strength and enhancing the fit.

[0020] The shoulder bag 4 is connected to the armpit bag 3 through a connecting device (such as a snap edge 401 or Velcro arranged on the side of the armpit part). The side of the shoulder bag 4 near the neck is provided with an inwardly concave arc part to adapt to the shoulder contour, and at the same time provide space for the neck bag 2. The side near the upper limb part of the human body is provided with two protruding side ears to facilitate ice compress on the joint of the upper limb and the shoulder, realizing a certain degree of bending, and the shoulder bag 4 can be detached and used independently to improve the use effect.

[0021] The chest and abdomen bag 5 is located at the lower part of the fixing frame 1 and is connected to the fixing frame 1 through a connecting device (snap edge 401 or Velcro). The chest and abdomen bag 5 includes a covering area at the middle position for covering most of the chest and abdomen areas. Auxiliary edges 501 are arranged on both sides of the covering area. Connecting points 502 are arranged on the upper surfaces of these auxiliary edges 501 and the underarm bag 3, and the connection is achieved through Velcro, snaps or other quick connecting devices. When in use, if ice application is not required on the abdomen, the chest and abdomen bag 5 can be removed. At the same time, if ice application is required on the chest, the chest and abdomen can be turned upwards, and the auxiliary edge 501 is connected to the underarm bag 3 through the connecting point 502, and the covering area of the chest and abdomen bag 5 is horizontally placed above the chest cavity. Due to the pulling of the two auxiliary edges 501, the pressure on the wound can be greatly reduced, ensuring the use effect.

[0022] When in use, first fill the neck bag 2, underarm bag 3, shoulder bag 4 and chest and abdomen bag 5 with hydrocolloid gel respectively, and after refrigeration or freezing, assemble them into a whole through the connecting device according to the design. Place the assembled ice bag in front of the patient's chest, ensure that the fixing frame 1 stably supports on the chest, the neck bag 2 fits the neck, the underarm bag 3 tightly wraps the underarm area, the shoulder bag 4 covers the shoulders, and the chest and abdomen bag 5 covers the chest and abdomen. According to the patient's body type and needs, adjust the shapes and positions of each part to ensure that the ice bag fits tightly to the body, improving the ice application effect. The best fit can be achieved by adjusting the positions of the indentations, side ears and connecting points 502, which can effectively solve the problem that the existing ice bags are prone to slipping and inconvenient to use in the postoperative care of patients in the underarm, shoulder and neck areas, improve the comfort and effect of ice application, and reduce the workload of medical staff.
