Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of abdominal circumference measuring devices, in particular to an abdominal belt that can be used for measuring abdominal circumference. Background Art

[0002] Patients with ascites usually need to wear an abdominal belt around the waist and abdomen for fixation and to relieve the discomfort in the waist caused by abdominal distension. The traditional multi-headed abdominal belts currently used by patients are usually made of cotton cloth and do not have a decompression function, often resulting in high abdominal pressure for patients. Moreover, the abdominal belt located at the back of the waist is prone to wrinkling, and when the wrinkled abdominal belt is displaced, it is extremely easy to pull the skin of the patient's waist, causing discomfort or even skin damage to the patient. At the same time, patients with ascites need to regularly evaluate the ascites condition, and abdominal circumference measurement is one of the simplest methods for evaluating ascites. In the prior art, the abdominal circumference is usually measured with a traditional measuring tape for clothes, and then recorded with a pen. This measurement method has the following disadvantages: inaccurate measurement due to human measurement differences; when measuring, since patients with ascites usually lie flat, it is easy for the measuring tape for clothes at the back of the waist to tilt, resulting in inaccurate measurement; patients with ascites often need to have their abdominal circumference measured multiple times during the treatment period, and each measurement requires the patient to turn over. In addition, some patients are not convenient to complete the abdominal circumference measurement by themselves, which will increase the workload of medical staff; there are differences in the abdominal circumference positions measured each time.

[0003] Chinese Utility Model Patent CN 218220790 U discloses a postoperative abdominal belt for fixing a drainage tube. The front of the abdominal belt main body is provided with a pressure ulcer prevention pad and a decompression strip. Although it has a decompression function and can improve the comfort of the waist of patients with ascites, it does not have the function of measuring abdominal circumference. Another Chinese Invention Patent CN 115770035 A discloses a medical abdominal circumference measuring device and a measuring method, including a measuring tape and a display component. When measuring the abdominal circumference, the end of the measuring tape is positioned on one side of the patient's back waist, and the end of the housing is pressed against the other side of the patient's back waist. The abdominal circumference value of the patient is obtained by reading the corresponding scale value at the measuring hole on the measuring tape and adding it to the value displayed by the display component. After the measurement is completed, the measuring tape automatically rewinds. Although this abdominal circumference measuring device and measuring method can obtain the abdominal circumference value without the patient lifting the body, this abdominal circumference measuring device does not measure the entire abdominal circumference of the patient, and the measured value still needs to be added to the value displayed by the display component to obtain the abdominal circumference value of the patient, which has certain defects in terms of measurement accuracy and convenience, and still requires the patient to wear an additional abdominal belt for adjuvant treatment.
