Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a special restraint cuff for an affected limb after breast cancer surgery. Background Art
[0002] Surgery is an important treatment for breast cancer. Due to intraoperative damage to muscles, nerves, fascia, lymph nodes, and other tissues, early postoperative shoulder abduction must be limited, and axillary opening must be avoided to prevent flap migration, subcutaneous fluid accumulation, and compromised wound healing. Therefore, early postoperative shoulder restraint is crucial.
[0003] Currently, the most traditional clinical approach involves postoperative compression bandaging of the chest wall and axilla, with nurses educating patients on the importance of shoulder restraint and instructing them to consciously immobilize the affected shoulder. Furthermore, some researchers have developed shoulder immobilization pressure corsets and sleeves for breast cancer surgery. These methods have the following problems: 1. Patients lack awareness of the importance of early shoulder immobilization, resulting in insufficient self-control, poor compliance, or unconscious movements, which in turn lead to ineffective shoulder immobilization. 2. Existing shoulder immobilization pressure corsets and sleeves are limited in their applicability, being only suitable for patients with postoperative lymphedema of the affected limb after radical mastectomy and upper limb surgery, and are not effectively applicable to various breast cancer surgical procedures. Furthermore, the pressure sleeves must be hung from the patient's neck, placing pressure on the neck skin and cervical spine, resulting in poor comfort. These issues not only create challenges for medical staff but also hinder the recovery of patients after breast cancer surgery, delaying postoperative recovery and interfering with systematic upper limb functional training, leading to slow functional recovery and reduced quality of life.

[0036] The utility model provides a technical solution: a restraint cuff specifically designed for an affected limb after breast cancer surgery, comprising a cuff body 1 and an adjusting strap 2. The outer side of the cuff body 1 is provided with a button 4 via a cloth piece 3, and the two ends of the cuff body 1 can be connected to each other. The adjusting strap 2 is provided with a plurality of button holes 5 spaced along its length, and a hook 6 is provided at one end of the adjusting strap 2. The button 4 can be fastened to the button hole 5.
[0037] Specifically, see Figures 1 to 7 When using this restraint cuff, the cuff body 1 is unfolded, the affected limb is placed on the cuff body 1, and then the two ends of the cuff body 1 are rolled up and connected to wrap around the affected limb. Furthermore, the cuff body 1 can be a tension-free cuff, which provides greater comfort. To accommodate different patients, the buckle hole 5 on the adjustment strap 2 can be used in conjunction with the button 4 on the cuff body 1 to effectively restrict the movement of the affected limb's shoulder joint, preventing abduction of the affected shoulder joint and opening the axilla, thereby reducing the incidence of subcutaneous effusion after breast cancer surgery. This does not affect the movement of the affected hand, wrist, and elbow joints. Therefore, using this restraint cuff does not affect the patient's orderly upper limb functional exercise, thereby effectively promoting the functional recovery of the affected limb. The hook 6 at one end of the adjustment strap 2 is used to fit the pressure bra that breast cancer patients must wear after surgery. The pressure bra has a buckle, so the cuff can be hung on the buckle via the hook 6 to stabilize the affected limb. Compared to traditional cuffs that hang from the patient's neck, the overall comfort is better and does not put pressure on the patient's neck skin and cervical spine. Furthermore, when not in use, the restraint cuff can be rolled up and stored, saving space and making it easy to carry. The button 4 is mounted on the fabric panel 3, making it easy to replace the button 4 without affecting the overall shape of the cuff body 1. The two ends of the cuff body 1 can be connected by methods including, but not limited to, snap-fit connections, adhesive bonding, and the like.
[0038] As an optional embodiment, in some embodiments, the outer side surface of one end of the cuff body 1 is provided with a Velcro hook surface 8, and the inner side surface of the other end of the cuff body 1 is provided with a Velcro loop surface 7, and the Velcro hook surface 8 is adapted to the Velcro loop surface 7. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cuff body 1 is attached at both ends using Velcro, which makes connecting and disconnecting the two ends of the cuff body 1 very convenient, eliminating the need for complicated buckling or tying steps, greatly improving usage efficiency. Furthermore, the Velcro design is simple, which can enhance the overall aesthetics of the cuff body 1 to a certain extent.
[0039] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, the cuff body 1 includes, from inside to outside, an inner layer 10, a middle layer 11, and an outer layer 12. Furthermore, the inner layer 10 is made of bamboo charcoal fiber, the middle layer 11 is made of polyester fiber, and the outer layer 12 is made of polyester fiber.
[0040] Specifically, see Figure 8 The cuff body 1 is a multi-layer structure consisting of an inner layer 10, a middle layer 11 and an outer layer 12. The material of the inner layer 10 is bamboo charcoal fiber, which is a material with natural antibacterial, deodorizing and breathable properties. Its porous structure can absorb and decompose odors and bacteria, thereby keeping the inner layer of the cuff body 1 clean and hygienic. In addition, bamboo charcoal fiber also has good air permeability and moisture absorption, which helps to reduce the patient's discomfort. The material of the middle layer 11 is polyester fiber, which is a high-strength, wear-resistant synthetic material with high tear resistance. It is suitable as a middle layer to reinforce the structure of the cuff body 1. The material of the outer layer 12 is polyester fiber, which has high strength, wear resistance and wrinkle resistance, and is also easy to clean and disinfect. At the same time, it also has good air permeability and moisture absorption, which can keep the inside of the cuff body 1 dry and comfortable.
[0041] As an optional embodiment, in some embodiments, the plurality of buckle holes 5 are arranged at equal intervals. Figure 1 , equal interval setting is more conducive to adjusting the tightness and improving the accuracy of adjustment.
[0042] As an optional embodiment, in some embodiments, the shape of the cloth piece 3 is a triangle. Figure 1 , the cloth piece 3 can effectively reduce the pressure of the cuff on the affected limb, and the shape of the cloth piece 3 can be adjusted according to needs. For example, it can also be designed into other shapes such as round, square, irregular, etc., as long as it can appropriately improve the aesthetics.
[0043] As an optional embodiment, in some embodiments, one end of the cuff body 1 is a dovetail structure. Figure 1 When the cuff body 1 needs to be removed from the affected limb, the dovetail structure design can make the removal process simpler and faster, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0044] In the above embodiment, further, the corners of the cuff body 1 are rounded 9. Figure 1 The rounded corners 9 allow the cuff body 1 to be tied more smoothly, reducing any sticking or resistance caused by right-angled corners, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of tying. Furthermore, the rounded corners 9 allow the cuff body 1 to better conform to the contours of the limb during tying, reducing any gaps or protrusions caused by right-angled corners, and improving the fit between the cuff body 1 and the limb.
