[0033] A neck dressing after thyroid surgery, as Figures 1-4 shown, includes a dressing main body 1. The surface of the dressing main body 1 is in the structure of accordion pleats 6. A plurality of grooves 2 are opened at the edge of the dressing main body 1. An observation mechanism 3 and a penetration mechanism 4 are arranged on the surface of the dressing main body 1. The dressing main body 1 is in a curved arc structure. The edge of the dressing main body 1 is an adhesive part. By setting the serrated grooves 2, the attachment surface between the adhesive and the skin is effectively reduced. This not only reduces the tight tension that may be brought by a straight edge, but also significantly improves the comfort of the patient during use, making the neck movement more flexible, reducing the discomfort caused by excessive dressing tension. At the same time, the dressing main body 1 is provided with accordion pleats 6. By increasing the elasticity of the dressing, it can better fit the neck curves of different patients, adapt to various neck sizes and shapes. This not only improves the adaptability of the dressing, but also further increases the mobility of the patient's neck.

[0034] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , a plurality of grooves 2 are arranged in an equidistant linear arrangement, and the plurality of grooves 2 are in a serrated structure, which is used to reduce the attachment surface between the edge of the dressing main body 1 and the skin, ensuring the uniformity of the distribution of the grooves 2. Furthermore, the attachment surface between the dressing edge and the skin is effectively reduced. Each groove 2 plays a role in reducing the contact area. Under the combined action, the tight feeling of the dressing on the skin is significantly reduced. At the same time, these grooves 2 are specially set in a serrated structure. This structure not only further enhances the effect of reducing the attachment surface, but also effectively reduces the tight tension that may be caused by a straight edge through its unique shape. The serrated structure provides good air permeability while making the dressing fit the skin better without causing excessive pressure, bringing a more comfortable use experience for the patient.

[0035] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , the accordion pleats 6 are of an elastic surface structure and are composed of a plurality of elastic lines inside, making the dressing main body 1 have good stretchability and adaptability. Since it is composed of a plurality of elastic lines inside, the accordion pleats 6 can provide uniform elasticity in different directions, enabling the dressing to better fit the neck curve of the patient. No matter what the neck size or shape is, it can achieve a tight fit without generating excessive pressure. At the same time, this elastic surface structure also endows the dressing with a certain buffering ability. When the patient moves the neck, the dressing can stretch and retract accordingly, effectively reducing the restrictive feeling caused by the dressing being tight, and improving the comfort and freedom of movement of the patient.
