Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of evaluation calipers, in particular to an evaluation caliper for evaluating incontinence dermatitis. Background Art
[0002] Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) is an inflammatory skin disease associated with incontinence, which mainly occurs in patients who are unable to control their excretion due to various reasons. When the skin is in contact with urine or feces for a long time, the enzymes, acids and alkalis, and microorganisms in these excretions will irritate and damage the skin, resulting in impaired skin barrier function, which in turn triggers an inflammatory response. Patients often feel extreme discomfort, pain, burning, itching, or tingling in the damaged skin area, and sometimes even feel obvious pain even if the epidermis is intact. Medical staff judge the speed of dermatitis development by observing the duration and frequency of the patient's excretion incontinence, and evaluate the patient's incontinence-associated dermatitis by observing the range of skin areas affected by the disease, the degree of skin damage, and the area of damaged skin.
[0003] In the process of evaluating patients' incontinence dermatitis, the inventors of the present application found that most existing evaluation tools roughly judge the specific situation of incontinence dermatitis with the naked eye, and use a ruler to roughly judge the damaged skin area of the patient's incontinence dermatitis. Due to the limitation that the area where incontinence dermatitis may occur is not a flat surface but mostly a curved surface, it is impossible to accurately measure the damaged skin area, and therefore it is impossible to accurately record the specific situation of the patient's incontinence dermatitis, which may affect the evaluation results of medical staff and further affect the specific treatment plan and drug dosage for the patient. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model solves the problem of measuring the skin damaged area of patients with incontinence dermatitis and provides an evaluation caliper for evaluating incontinence dermatitis. The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0005] An evaluation caliper for evaluating incontinence dermatitis includes: a measuring piece that can adapt to the curvature of the skin to form a measurement area for measuring the damaged skin area; a guidance chart set on the measuring piece, the guidance chart including a dermatitis observation chart for recording the damaged skin area.
[0006] Furthermore, the guidance chart also includes: a patient information form; a staging chart, which is used to show the degree of skin damage in mild, moderate and severe cases of incontinence dermatitis; and a location distribution chart, which is used to show the range of skin areas that may be affected by incontinence dermatitis, and the skin area range is numbered. The dermatitis observation chart is used to record the degree of skin damage, the corresponding incontinence dermatitis stage, and the area of skin damage.
[0007] Furthermore, the measuring piece includes two rotatably connected measuring rulers, and scale lines are formed on opposite sides of the measuring rulers. The starting positions of the scale lines are set at the end of the measuring ruler away from the hinge point, and the graduation value of the scale lines is 1mm. The patient information form and the dermatitis observation form are set on the side of the measuring ruler with the scale lines, and the staging diagram and the position distribution diagram are set on the other side of the measuring ruler.
[0008] Furthermore, the measuring piece includes a measuring chart, which is divided into a measuring part and a recording part that are independent of each other. The measuring part is independent of the recording part. The measuring part is divided into five areas, where the areas from smallest to largest are A, B, C, D, and E, where E contains D, D contains C, C contains B, B contains A, and B=2A, C=3A, D=4A, and E=5A. The measuring part is made of a transparent and soft material, and the guide chart is set on the recording part.
[0009] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0010] The utility model measures the damaged skin area of the patient by setting a measuring piece, so that medical staff can accurately measure the damaged skin of the patient, and then accurately record the patient's condition in the dermatitis observation table.

[0015] 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.
[0016] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "inside", "outside", "upper", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or are the orientations or positional relationships in which the product of the present invention is usually placed when in use. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0017] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first and second embodiments of the present invention both include: a measuring piece 1, which can adapt to the curvature of the skin to form a measuring area for measuring the damaged area of the skin; a guide provided on the measuring piece 1 Figure 2 , the guidance Figure 2 A dermatitis observation form was included, which recorded the area of skin damage.
[0018] Specifically, the skin surface of patients suffering from incontinence dermatitis is mostly curved, and the measuring piece 1 made of soft and smooth material can fit well on the surface of the skin, and the measuring piece 1 can form a measuring area covering the damaged area of the skin, so that the damaged area of the skin can be quickly known. The dermatitis observation form records the measured damaged skin area to facilitate subsequent evaluation of the patient's incontinence dermatitis.
[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, further guidance Figure 2 It also includes: a patient information form 21; a staging map 23, which describes the degree of skin damage in mild, moderate and severe incontinence dermatitis; and a location distribution map 24, which describes the range of skin areas that may be affected by incontinence dermatitis, and the skin area range is numbered 1-14.
[0020] Specifically, the patient information form 21 records the patient's name, gender, age, date and damaged area, so that medical staff can record the patient's skin damage conditions efficiently and accurately, avoiding the wrong combination of skin damage conditions and patients. The damaged area is determined by the location distribution map 24. Medical staff observe the patient's damaged skin location and match it with the number in the location distribution map 24, making the record of the patient's specific damaged location both simple and accurate.
[0021] Secondly, the symptoms of skin damage in mild IAD, as shown in staging diagram 23, are: redness with unclear boundaries, increased skin temperature and pain upon palpation, but intact skin; symptoms of moderate IAD are: shiny skin with blisters, punctate hemorrhages, or peeling, and increased pain felt by the patient; symptoms of severe IAD are: dark red or yellow-white skin, partial skin damage with bleeding and exudate, and more intense pain felt by the patient.
[0022] Furthermore, the dermatitis observation form records the degree of skin damage, the corresponding incontinence dermatitis stage, and the area of skin damage.
[0023] Specifically, the medical staff observes the patient's skin damage symptoms and then corresponds to the staging chart 23, and records the patient's incontinence dermatitis stage in the dermatitis observation table. Secondly, the skin damage area measured by the measuring piece 1 is also recorded in the dermatitis observation table. The medical staff determines the specific situation of the patient's incontinence dermatitis based on the dermatitis observation table, and then combines the patient's personal information and the frequency and time of fecal incontinence to prescribe a specific treatment plan and medication dosage for each patient to improve the patient's cure rate.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, further, the measuring piece 1 includes two rotatably connected measuring rulers 11, and scale lines 12 are formed on opposite sides of the measuring rulers 11. The starting positions of the scale lines 12 are set at the end of the measuring ruler 11 away from the hinge point, and the graduation value of the scale lines 12 is 1 mm.
[0026] Specifically, the two measuring rulers 11 form a measurement area that can cover the damaged skin. One measuring ruler 11 measures the length of the damaged skin, and the other measuring ruler 11 simultaneously measures the width of the damaged skin. The actual area of the damaged skin is obtained by using the area equal to the length multiplied by the width. The position of the starting line of the scale line 12 makes it easy to determine the starting point of measurement when measuring the damaged skin, thereby facilitating the measurement of the damaged skin area.
[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, further, the patient information form 21 and the dermatitis observation form are arranged on one side of the measuring ruler 11 where the scale lines 12 are formed, and the staging diagram 23 and the position distribution diagram 24 are arranged on the other side of the measuring ruler 11.
[0028] Specifically, the side of the measuring ruler 11 with the scale lines 12 is the side facing the medical staff. The patient information form 21 and the dermatitis observation form are set on this side to facilitate the medical staff to record the patient's condition. The staging chart 23 and the position distribution chart 24 are used to provide reference for medical staff who are not familiar with incontinence dermatitis and do not need to be placed in a prominent position.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, further, the measuring piece 1 includes a measuring diagram 13, which is divided into a measuring part and a recording part that are independent of each other. The measuring part is independent of the recording part, and the measuring part is divided into five areas, where the areas are A, B, C, D, and E from the smallest to the largest, where E contains D, D contains C, C contains B, B contains A, and B=2A, C=3A, D=4A, and E=5A.
[0031] Specifically, the measurement chart 13 is divided into two pages that can be opened and closed, the left page is the measurement part, and the right page is the recording part. Under normal conditions, the left page and the right page are combined to reduce their own volume. When in use, the left page is attached to the patient's damaged skin to measure the damaged skin area.
[0032] In the second embodiment of the present invention, B=2A, C=3A, D=4A, and E=5A, and the measuring part is divided into these five measuring areas. When the medical staff fits the measuring part to the damaged skin of the patient, the lower right corner is used as the starting position, and the minimum measuring area that can cover the damaged skin is selected as the patient's damaged skin area. This can quickly determine the damaged skin area, improve the working efficiency of the medical staff, and further refine the measuring area, which can further improve the measurement accuracy.
[0033] Furthermore, the measuring part is made of a transparent, soft and smooth material.
[0034] Specifically, the transparent material enables the measuring part to fit on the patient's skin. When observing the relative position of the measuring area and the damaged skin, the degree of skin damage and the damaged area can be clearly seen, thereby obtaining an accurate incontinence dermatitis staging and quickly determining the skin damaged area.
[0035] Further, guidance Figure 2 Set on the recording part.
[0036] Specifically, the patient information table 21 , the wound overview table 22 , the staging diagram 23 , and the location distribution diagram 24 are arranged vertically, which is more intuitive than the first embodiment.
[0037] Furthermore, the measuring part is made of a transparent soft material.
[0038] Specifically, the measuring part is in direct contact with the patient's skin, and the use of soft materials can enable it to adapt to the curvature of the skin, thereby improving the measurement accuracy while ensuring the medical experience. The soft material can be silicone, thermoplastic elastomer, or TPU.
[0039] Furthermore, the measuring piece is made of soft material.
[0040] Specifically, the use of soft materials for measuring parts can improve measurement accuracy while ensuring the medical experience. Silicone, thermoplastic elastomer, TPU, PVC soft products, and EVA foam can be selected.
[0041] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
[0042] The technology, shape and structure that are not described in detail in this utility model are all well-known technologies.
