Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical supplies, in particular to a surgical cap for assisting hair growth. Background Art

[0002] Surgeons are more prone to hair loss compared to other occupations, mainly for the following two reasons: 1. In addition to the existing occupational pressures from various aspects such as clinical work, scientific research and teaching, during surgery, surgeons are highly nervous, which is more likely to cause mental stress, leading to an increase in the levels of stress hormones such as cortisol or corticosterone, causing hair follicles to enter the resting phase and thus resulting in hair loss; 2. Surgeons need to wear masks and surgical caps for a long time during surgery, and in order to ensure sterility and barrier effect, surgical caps are mostly made of non-woven fabric or polypropylene. Due to the nature of the production materials of such surgical caps, the air permeability is poor and they do not absorb sweat, so that the hair is in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment for a long time, which is not conducive to hair growth.

[0003] Currently, methods for promoting hair growth include implantation surgery and drug treatment. Among them, implantation surgery has problems such as high invasiveness and high cost; while drug treatment, although without the disadvantages of implantation surgery, the first-line drug in drug treatment is minoxidil. According to the usage instructions of minoxidil, it is necessary to spend a certain amount of time applying the drug to the skin of the hairline every day and massage for several minutes, and this topically applied external preparation needs to be used at least twice a day to produce significant effects. Such a regular medication method is usually difficult for busy surgeons.

[0004] Therefore, it is considered to design a surgical cap that can assist in the topical application of minoxidil to improve the hair loss problem of surgeons. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a surgical cap for assisting hair growth, which can assist in improving the hair loss problem of surgeons and promoting hair growth.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installation", "connection", and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0031] In addition, in the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.

[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 , this embodiment provides a surgical cap for assisting hair growth, including a cap body 1, a cap top 2, and a medicinal adsorption patch 3. The cap body 1 is a cylindrical structure with openings at the top and bottom. The cap top 2 is sewn on the cap body 1 to block the top opening. An elastic band 4 is sewn circumferentially at the bottom opening of the cap body 1. The medicinal adsorption patch 3 is detachably installed on the inner surface of the cap body 1. The side of the medicinal adsorption patch 3 away from the cap body 1 is used for coating a hair growth promoting drug and is attached to the wearer's forehead after wearing.

[0033] When the surgical cap for assisting hair growth in this embodiment is in use, the drug adsorption patch 3 needs to be removed first, and then a hair growth-promoting drug (such as minoxidil gel) is applied to the drug adsorption patch 3 and reinstalled. Then, a surgeon can wear the surgical cap for assisting hair growth, and make the medicated surface of the drug adsorption patch 3 fit the hair loss area on the surgeon's forehead, so that the surgeon can achieve transdermal absorption of the drug during the operation, improve the hair loss problem, and promote hair growth.

[0034] The surgical cap for assisting hair growth in this embodiment not only has the functions of a traditional surgical cap, but also can be paired with a coated drug so that the surgeon can promote hair growth and improve the appearance of medical staff by a non-invasive hair growth-promoting method while wearing the surgical cap for a long time.

[0035] In addition, the setting of the elastic band 4 can better adapt to various head shapes while ensuring sterility and barrier effect, and improve the wearing comfort; in order to ensure the efficient adsorption and release of the hair growth-promoting drug, while choosing minoxidil as the hair growth-promoting drug, the liquid minoxidil preparation can also be mixed with the nano-suspension gel and then applied to the drug adsorption patch 3. The nano-suspension gel is a new type of nano transdermal drug delivery preparation, which can significantly increase the transdermal penetration amount and skin retention amount of poorly soluble drugs, improve the bioavailability of transdermal drug delivery, and has the dual advantages of nano-suspension and gel.

[0036] It should be noted that the curative effect of topical minoxidil in the treatment of various types of hair loss has been confirmed by clinical research. Minoxidil can be absorbed through the skin, and then stimulate dermal papilla cells to express vascular endothelial growth factor, dilate scalp blood vessels, and improve microcirculation. Therefore, it is feasible to improve hair loss by local adsorption of minoxidil through the drug adsorption patch.

[0037] Preferably, both the cap body 1 and the cap top 2 are made of all-cotton fabric, so that the surgical cap has high wearing comfort, good air permeability and sweat absorption, and can avoid the hair being in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment for a long time. Acting together with the applied hair growth-promoting drug is beneficial to hair growth.

[0038] Preferably, see Figure 4 , the drug application surface 5 of the drug adsorption patch 3 is made of non-woven fabric.

[0039] Preferably, a drawstring is circumferentially provided at the bottom opening of the cap body 1, and the drawstring passes out on the side far from the drug adsorption patch 3, and a spring buckle is installed on the passing end of the drawstring. The setting of the drawstring can better fix the surgical cap on the basis of the elastic band 4. By pressing to release the fixation of the spring buckle on the drawstring and controlling the spring buckle to move to a specified position along the drawstring and then releasing, the tightness adjustment of the drawstring can be achieved.

[0040] Preferably, see Figure 3 andFigure 4 , on the inner surface of the cap body 1, a hook-and-loop fastener female surface 6 is sewn at the installation position of the drug adsorption patch 3, and a hook-and-loop fastener male surface 7 is sewn on the side surface of the drug adsorption patch 3 facing the cap body 1. The drug adsorption patch 3 is adhered to the hook-and-loop fastener female surface 6 through the hook-and-loop fastener male surface 7. After being used for a certain number of times, the hook-and-loop fastener male and female surfaces can be separated, and the hook-and-loop fastener male surface 7 and the drug adsorption patch 3 can be cleaned to maintain the cleanliness of the drug adsorption patch 3.

[0041] Preferably, the width of the hook-and-loop fastener male surface 7 in the top-bottom direction of the cap body 1 is smaller than the width of the hook-and-loop fastener female surface 6 in the top-bottom direction of the cap body 1, so that the setting position of the drug adsorption patch 3 in the top-bottom direction of the cap body 1 can be adjusted according to the different degrees of hair loss of the user, enabling the hair growth-promoting drug to cover the hair loss area in a larger or smaller area.

[0042] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and substitutions can be made, and these improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
