Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary bras, in particular to an auxiliary bra for rehabilitation of patients after pacemaker implantation. Background Art

[0002] Pacemaker implantation surgery refers to the surgical implantation of a pacemaker into the patient's body to restore the heart's normal pacing function. Specifically, this surgery requires puncturing the left or right subclavian vein or axillary vein and inserting a guidewire. Under the guidewire, a pocket that matches the pacemaker is made on the left or right chest. Subsequently, a vascular sheath is inserted along the guidewire, and the electrode of the heart, that is, the electrode of the pacemaker, is placed through the vascular sheath. If a dual-chamber pacemaker is to be installed, two electrodes are required, one electrode is placed in the right atrial appendage, and the other electrode is placed in the right ventricle. Under X-ray fluoroscopy, select the appropriate electrode placement position, connect the test lead, measure the parameters under ECG monitoring, and determine whether the electrode placement position meets the requirements. If the parameter measurement meets the requirements for pacemaker placement, the electrode can be fixed, the electrode and the pacemaker can be connected, the pacemaker can be implanted in the pocket, the pocket can be sutured, the wound can be bandaged, and the pacemaker implantation is completed;

[0003] Percutaneous cardiac implantable pacemaker is one of the clinical treatments for arrhythmias and heart failure. It is now widely used. According to research data, about 600,000 pacemakers are implanted in the heart each year worldwide, most of which are elderly people, accounting for about 85% of the total population. Pacemaker implantation is an invasive treatment. Most surgeons will make a pouch under the patient's clavicle and implant the pulse generator subcutaneously. The wire passes through the subclavian vein to the heart, and the electrode is fixed. After the operation, the patient needs to remain supine or in the left lateral position for 12-24 hours, and the upper limb on the operated side should be immobilized to avoid bleeding in the pouch, electrode detachment or displacement. The postoperative incision is compressed by gravity with a sandbag to prevent bleeding. Although the patient can fix the sandbag to a certain extent by wearing a bra to relieve the pain of the incision, the sandbag may still slip, and the hemostasis effect is poor, which will also reduce the patient's comfort.

[0004] The "New Pacemaker Compression Garment" with the patent CN211796692U includes a bra body, the shoulder straps of the bra body are provided with self-adhesive shoulder buckles, the side of the bra body is provided with a sandbag self-adhesive opening, the sandbag self-adhesive opening is provided with a sandbag compartment, the interior of the sandbag compartment is provided with a sandbag fixed adhesive, and the side of the bra body is provided with a first chest self-adhesive tape. The utility model allows the garment to effectively fit the patient's body by providing the self-adhesive shoulder buckles and the first chest self-adhesive tape, and by providing the sandbag self-adhesive opening, the sandbag compartment and the sandbag fixed adhesive, the sandbag is stably connected to the bra body, and the sandbag does not shift or slip when the patient moves or takes a side-lying position, effectively reducing postoperative bleeding and capsular hematoma, promoting wound healing, and effectively improving the comfort of the patient after surgery.

[0005] However, when using this auxiliary bra, the incidence of loosening after existing pacemaker implantation is as high as 78%. In order to prevent shoulder abduction, towel bandage, gauze fixation and triangular bandage are commonly used in clinical practice. The patient's entire upper limb on the surgical side is restrained, and the shoulder joint movement is restricted. The forearm movement is also affected, the forearm venous circulation is affected, and the upper limb is swollen. Some patients may even develop chronic musculoskeletal pain or upper limb dysfunction, which seriously affects the patient's sleep, quality of life, physical function and emotional health.

[0006] Therefore, we proposed that an auxiliary bra for patients to use in rehabilitation after pacemaker implantation can solve the above problems well. Utility Model Content

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] This utility provides the following technical solutions:

[0030] Example 1, to address the problem that the existing bra body 1 cannot limit the movement of the patient's upper arm, thereby affecting the venous circulation of the forearm and causing upper limb swelling. Some may even develop chronic musculoskeletal pain or upper limb dysfunction, which seriously affects the patient's sleep, quality of life, physical function, and emotional health, the following is disclosed:

[0031] The bra body 1 has a hem 2 sewn to the bottom thereof, and the volume of the hem 2 is smaller than the volume of the bra body 1, and the front side of the bra body 1 is mesh-shaped;

[0032] The bra body 1 also includes: a bra body 1, both sides of which are hollow, and the top of the bra body 1 is also hollow, and the bottom two sides of the bra body 1 are sewn with second main Velcro 7, the bra body 1, the inner side of which is sewn with first main Velcro 3, and positioning fabric 4 is glued to both sides of the first main Velcro 3.

[0033] The bra body 1 has elastic bands 5 sewn on both sides, and the two elastic bands 5 have the same structure. The outer ends of the two elastic bands 5 are connected to rings 6, one end of the two rings 6 is sewn to a third main Velcro 11, and the outer side of the third main Velcro 11 is adhered to a second pair of Velcro 12, and the second pair of Velcro 12 is sewn to the other end of the two rings 6.

[0034] like Figures 1-6 As shown, after the patient puts on the bra body 1, the patient's two upper arms are put into the two rings 6. Because the two rings 6 are connected to the two sides of the bra body 1 by elastic bands 5, the two elastic bands 5 can be used to limit the swing of the two rings 6, so as to prevent the patient's upper arm from being affected by the forearm venous circulation due to movement, swelling of the upper limbs, and even developing chronic musculoskeletal pain or upper limb dysfunction. In addition, the front side of the bra body 1 is meshed, which not only increases breathability, but also improves the wearing comfort of the bra body 1, avoids pressure injuries, and facilitates observation of the local condition of the incision.

[0035] When it is necessary to position the upper arms with different diameters, it is only necessary to manually pull the second pair of Velcro 12 set at one end of the ring 6 to separate the third main Velcro 11 set at the other end of the ring 6, and then re-stick the second pair of Velcro 12 to the third main Velcro 11. This not only can position the use position of the ring 6, but also can facilitate the use of the ring 6 on upper arms with different diameters, thereby improving the wearing comfort of the bra body 1.

[0036] The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the hem 2 of the bra body 1 can be automatically clamped by the elastic band 10 after being worn, so as to prevent the bra body 1 from loosening and deviating after being worn.

[0037] The hem 2 has an internal slotted and sewn elastic band 10 , and the diameter of the elastic band 10 is smaller than the diameter of the hem 2 .

[0038] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, when wearing the bra body 1, the bra body 1 is put on the patient's body, and then the two second main Velcro strips 7 are stuck to the front side of the worn bra body 1. Then the worn bra body 1 can be positioned and fixed, and then the elastic band 10 provided with the groove inside the hem 2 can be used to automatically tighten and position the position of the hem 2, avoiding the bra body 1 from loosening and deviating when worn later, thereby improving the wearing stability of the bra body 1.

[0039] The third embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that the pressure can be set individually by squeezing the airbag 8, which can effectively compress the wound.

[0040] The inner sides of the two positioning fabrics 4 are both provided with a first pair of Velcro 9, and the outer sides of the two first pairs of Velcro 9 are adhered with the first main Velcro 3. The first main Velcro 3 is fitted with extrusion airbags 8 on both sides, and the two extrusion airbags 8 are symmetrically arranged about the vertical center line of the first main Velcro 3, and the outer sides of the two extrusion airbags 8 are fitted with positioning fabrics 4. The two positioning fabrics 4 are both made of pure cotton material. The two extrusion airbags 8 are both transparent and are made of silicone rubber material. At the same time, the two extrusion airbags 8 are symmetrically positioned and installed on the inner side of the bra body 1.

[0041] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, when the surgical wound needs to be squeezed and compressed at a later stage, the positioning fabric 4 is manually pulled to tear it apart, so that the first pair of Velcro 9 is separated from the first main Velcro 3, and then the squeezing airbag 8 is placed on the inner side of the positioning fabric 4. At this time, the first pair of Velcro 9 is re-adhered to the first main Velcro 3. At this time, the surgical wound can be squeezed and compressed by the squeezing airbag 8. If the pacemaker is implanted under the left clavicle, the squeezing airbag 8 is placed on the left side, and the same is true for the right pacemaker. The squeezing airbag 8 is used to perform individualized pressure setting. Whether the patient is lying or standing, the wound can be effectively compressed, thereby reducing the incidence of incision bleeding in patients after pacemaker surgery. Moreover, the squeezing airbag 8 is placed on the front side of the bra body 1, and can be placed over a wide range. It can not only compress the wound, but also be used for compressing hematomas around the incision.

[0042] When it is necessary to adjust the pressure of the extrusion airbag 8, you only need to manually pull the positioning fabric 4 to separate the first pair of Velcro 9 from the first main Velcro 3. At this time, you can take out the extrusion airbag 8, and then adjust the pressure of the extrusion airbag 8 through the pressure valve. It is more practical and the operation is more time-saving and labor-saving.

[0043] The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to professional and technical personnel in this field.
