Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical supplies, in particular to a cold compress device after breast ablation surgery. Background Art

[0002] After minimally invasive breast surgery, an ice pack is required in addition to the elastic bandage pressure dressing to reduce the incidence of postoperative pain, chest edema, and subcutaneous congestion. In the existing technology, conventional ice packs are mostly linear, which have disadvantages such as difficulty in adhering to the chest skin and inconvenient fixation. When applying a cold compress, the patient must manually press the ice pack to fix it, which is not only inconvenient to use, but also affects the effect of the cold compress.

[0003] According to the utility model patent of the chest cold compress continuous cooler with patent number CN221243183U, a bra for cooling the breasts is provided, the bra comprising two bras, a water channel structure is arranged between the two bras, and a cooling structure is arranged on the water channel structure. The design of the utility model comprises a bra consisting of two flexible latex bras with binding straps, a water chamber is provided in the bras, and a water channel structure consisting of a first connecting pipe, a connecting plate with a cooling chamber, and a second connecting pipe is arranged between the two water chambers, so that the entire internal chamber of the bras is connected to form a circuit, and a cooling structure mainly consisting of electric fan blades and semiconductor refrigeration plates is arranged on the connecting plate, so that the cooled water is discharged in a direction and the uncooled water is replenished from the other side to form a cooling water circulation, so that the continuous bras can be worn to cool the breasts, without the need for additional refrigeration, and can be worn repeatedly, thereby improving the high cost problem of using disposable cooling products for long-term cold compresses.

[0004] Although the above technical solution can achieve the effect of cold compress on the patient's chest, the cooling water with directional flow in this structure can only flow into one of the bras. Even through the cooperation of the fan blades and the second connecting pipe, it is difficult to achieve the mutual communication of water between the two bras. Due to the location of the second connecting pipe, it is necessary to ensure that the water in the two water chambers is completely filled. During ice compress, since the two water chambers are connected to the connecting piece, it is difficult to form a relatively smooth water circulation in the two water chambers when the fan blades are working, thereby affecting the efficiency of the cold compress on the patient.
