[0020] See also Figure 1-4 A thyroid ablation postoperative neck protection device includes a main body 1, the two ends of the main body 1 are connected by adhesive parts to form a ring structure, the main body 1 is provided with two grooves, each groove is slidably connected with a pressure block 2, each groove is provided with an air bag 3 and a loading bag 4 below a pressure block 2, a square groove 11 is provided on one side of the main body 1 close to the loading bag 4, and an elastic net 42 is provided on the side of each loading bag 4 close to the air bag 3, a transparent film is provided on each square groove 11, and a pressing piece 5 is placed between each loading bag 4 and a transparent film. When in use, the assembler or patient selects a suitable body 1 according to the patient's neck circumference. The front side of the body 1 is provided with a concave bracket to support the patient's chin. The two ends of the back side are thinner, so that when the patient lies on the bed, the back side of the body 1 supports the back of the patient's neck. Then the pressing piece 5 is placed from the groove into the loading bag 4. The pressing piece 5 can be an ice bag or a sand bag, but is not limited to this. That is, the pressing piece 5 is located between the elastic net 42 on the loading bag 4 and the transparent film on the square groove 11. The transparent film has a certain elasticity, which is convenient for the pressing piece 4 to be close to the transparent film and attached to the surgical site of the patient's neck through the square groove 11. Then the airbag 3 is placed on the side of the loading bag 4 away from the square groove 11. The airbag 3 and the pressing piece 5 are separated by only the elastic net 42. Then the pressing block 2 is inserted into the groove. The pressing block 2 can be customized according to the patient's lower jaw to ensure that the pressing block 2 is squeezed by the patient's lower jaw when the patient wears it, and the operation is completed. The assembly is simple and convenient. Finally, the patient can fix the body 1 on the patient's neck through the adhesive pieces at both ends of the body 1. The body 1 is made of antibacterial and deodorant medical materials, which is safe and non-toxic. When the patient wears the body 1, the pressing block 2 on the body 1 touches the patient's lower jaw above the thyroid gland and is squeezed by the patient's lower jaw above the thyroid gland and moves downward in the groove. Then the pressing block 2 squeezes the airbag 3, and then the airbag 3 can only move toward the elastic net 42 of the loading bag 4 under the limitation of the space in the groove, that is, the airbag 3 pushes the pressing piece 5 to move toward the surgical site of the patient's neck through the elastic net 42. Finally, the pressing piece 5 continuously presses the surgical site on the patient's neck, so that the skin of the surgical site is tightly adhered, which promotes rapid healing of the patient's surgical site, and does not limit the freedom of the patient's hands. The thyroid glands on both sides can be continuously pressed without the patient continuously pressing with his hands.

[0021] In some embodiments, a gel pad 6 is provided near each end of the body 1. The gel pad 6 can cushion the back of the patient's neck, reduce the pressure of the patient wearing it for a long time, and make the patient comfortable to wear.

[0022] In some embodiments, an iron plate is provided on the body 1 above the square slot 11, and a magnet 41 is provided on the loading bag 4 corresponding to the iron plate. The magnetic design allows for quick opening when the operator inserts the pressing member 5, improving installation efficiency and facilitating manual disassembly and assembly by the patient, making operation simple and convenient.

[0023] In some embodiments, a protrusion is provided on the end of the pressing block 2 near the airbag 3, and a ridge is provided on the inner wall of the groove near the opening. When the operator presses the pressing block 2 onto the body 1 during assembly, the protrusion on the pressing block 2 collides with the ridge on the groove of the body 1, pressing the pressing block 2 into the groove. The ridge also prevents the pressing block 2 from slipping out of the groove, preventing it from falling if the patient holds it upside down.

[0024] In some embodiments, a notch is provided on one side of the pressing block 2 away from the square groove 11. The notch can help maintenance personnel quickly remove the pressing block 2 from the groove, making the operation simple and convenient, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the device and speeding up production.

[0025] In some embodiments, a buffer layer is provided on the outer surface of the body 1. The buffer layer can be a soft rubber pad or sponge material, which can protect the patient's neck from friction with the body 1 and improve the patient's wearing comfort.

[0026] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
