Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary products technology, and in particular to an ice cap for cooling the head. Background Technology

[0002] Medical ice caps, as an effective physical cooling tool, help lower local brain temperature, reduce brain tissue oxygen consumption, protect brain cells, and prevent cerebral edema. They have been widely used for physical cooling of patients with severe neurosurgery, encephalitis, cerebral edema, cerebral hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, intracranial hypertension, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, febrile seizures, and central hyperthermia.

[0003] Currently, two main types of ice caps are commonly used in clinical practice: rubber ice caps and electronic ice caps. However, traditional rubber ice caps are relatively thick and heavy, with small ice tank openings, making it time-consuming to fill with crushed ice and difficult to control the ice temperature. They also tend to accumulate condensation inside after use, requiring frequent replacement of the inner lining, which is cumbersome for nursing staff. Electronic ice caps, made of rigid fabric and with a foldable design, utilize an external cooling device to dissipate heat from the patient's head using circulating ice water. However, the material of the cap at the point of contact with the patient is too rigid, preventing it from adhering tightly to the skin and resulting in poor cooling effectiveness.

[0004] Chinese utility model patent CN217066755U discloses a medical ice cap, including a cap body. Inside the cap body are a first cooling section, a second cooling section, a third cooling section, and a temperature display section. The first cooling section cools the top of the head, the second cooling section cools the forehead, and the third cooling section cools the sides and back of the head. The temperature display section detects and displays the temperature of the second cooling section. This utility model can cool the top and forehead of the head. The temperature display section detects and displays the temperatures of the first and second cooling sections, achieving real-time temperature monitoring. However, this ice cap requires the patient's head to be kept raised and is placed over the patient's head from top to bottom. Furthermore, the cap material is relatively hard and cannot fit snugly against the patient's head, thus reducing the cooling effect.

[0005] In conclusion, it is necessary to design a lightweight, head-fitting ice cap that displays the cooling temperature in real time. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an ice cap for cooling the head, which solves the problem that the cap body cannot fit tightly against the scalp and it is difficult to control the temperature of the cap body, thus resulting in poor cooling effect.

Hook and loop fasteners are matched with hook and loop fasteners, and the hook and loop fasteners are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the forehead cooling area.

[0011] Preferably, elastic bands are symmetrically arranged on the inner edge of the occipital region.

[0012] Preferably, the occipital region further includes a first extension band and a second extension band, which are disposed on both sides of the lower end of the occipital region.

Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of this invention.

[0040] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides an ice cap for cooling the head, including an ice cap body. The ice cap body includes a forehead cooling area 1, a top of the head cooling area 2, a back of the head area 3, and a temperature display module 4. The forehead cooling area 1, the top of the head cooling area 2, and the back of the head area 3 are flexibly connected in sequence and can deform to form a head placement area. The forehead cooling area 1 includes an outer layer 13 and a hydrogel adhesion layer 12 coated on the inner surface of the outer layer. The top of the head cooling area 2 is provided with a plurality of top of the head ice pack areas 21, and top of the head ice packs are matched and placed in the top of the head ice pack areas 21. The temperature display module 4 is disposed in the forehead cooling area 1, and the temperature of the forehead cooling area 1 is monitored and displayed by the temperature display module 4.

[0041] This lightweight ice cap features a flexible connection between a forehead cooling zone 1, a top-of-the-head cooling zone 2, and a occipital region 3. This allows the ice cap to deform and conform to the patient's head, improving the fit between the ice cap and the wearer's head and thus enhancing the cooling effect. In addition, by incorporating a hydrogel adhesion layer 12 and an ice pack on the top of the head, it can cool the top of the head and the forehead. The temperature display module 4 detects and displays the temperature of the forehead cooling zone 1, providing a clear indication of the cooling effect and allowing users to monitor the cooling effect in real time.

[0042] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the forehead cooling area 1 includes an outer layer 13 and a hydrogel adhesion layer 12 coated on the inner surface of the outer layer.

[0043] Specifically, the outer layer 13 is made of medical waterproof fabric. More specifically, the medical waterproof fabric can be one of PVC coated fabric, PET coated fabric, polyester coated fabric, or waterproof non-woven fabric. More specifically, the outer layer 13 is made of waterproof non-woven fabric.

[0044] Preferably, the hydrogel adhesion layer 12 can be made of a hydrogel polymer material. By providing the hydrogel adhesion layer 12, a cooling section is formed for cooling the forehead area of ​​the human body.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the forehead cooling area 1 further includes a transparent anti-adhesive layer 11. Specifically, the side of the hydrogel adhesion layer 12 away from the outer layer 13 is covered with the transparent anti-adhesive layer 11. In use, the transparent anti-adhesive layer 11 is removed, and the hydrogel adhesion layer 12 is adhered to the patient's forehead to fix the position of the forehead cooling area 1, so that the forehead cooling area 1 can fully fit the human forehead and improve the cooling effect.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the head cooling area 2 is provided with several head ice pack areas 21, and the head cooling area 2 is made of flexible material. The head ice pack areas 21 are disposed on the outer surface of the head cooling area 2. In some embodiments, the head cooling area 2 is divided into several sections arranged in a rectangular array, at least some sections are provided with head ice packs as head ice pack areas 21, and the sections without head ice packs are used as interval areas 22. In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the head ice pack area 21 and the interval area 22 are arranged adjacent to each other vertically and horizontally. Preferably, both the head ice pack area 21 and the interval area 22 are rectangular; more preferably, the head ice pack area 21 and the interval area 22 are 3×3cm. 2 The ice pack is square. In one specific embodiment, the ice pack placed in the head ice pack area is square.

[0047] In one specific embodiment, the two sides of the head cooling area 2 are designed to be arc-shaped. This arc-shaped design allows the ice cap to cool the head while avoiding direct contact with areas unsuitable for cooling, such as the ears or unprotected brain tissue after decompression surgery. When in use, placing the ice pack into the head cooling area 21 reduces the overall weight of the ice cap and allows the head cooling area 2 to deform under the weight of the ice pack, fully conforming to the curvature of the patient's head for even cooling.

[0048] When in use, the ice pack is placed in the ice pack area 21 on the head to form a cooling section on the head, thereby cooling the top of the patient's head. By setting the ice pack area 21 on the head and setting the interval areas 22 arranged at intervals with it, the ice pack area 21 on the head can conform to the wearer's head with the flexible cooling area 2.

[0049] Preferably, the spacer area 22 is filled with a flexible absorbent material. For example, it can be one or more of a superabsorbent polymer and fluff fibers, which serves to support the head and allow for ventilation.

[0050] In one specific embodiment, the cooling area 2 on the top of the head is made of medical waterproof fabric. The medical waterproof fabric can be one of PVC coated fabric, PET coated fabric, polyester coated fabric, or nylon waterproof fabric. More specifically, the cooling area 2 on the top of the head is made of nylon waterproof fabric.

[0051] Furthermore, the pillow area 3 is made of flexible fabric and filled with a flexible material. Specifically, the flexible material can be cotton, which serves to support the head, allow for ventilation, and prevent frostbite.

[0052] Preferably, elastic bands 31 are provided on both sides of the occipital region 3. The elastic bands can make the two sides of the occipital region 3 conform to the curvature of the patient's occipital region during use, ensuring that the occipital region fits the patient's occipital region more closely.

[0053] Preferably, the lower end of the occipital region 3 is provided with a first extension strap 32 and a second extension strap 33. In use, the first extension strap 32 and the second extension strap 33 are wrapped around the neck and tied in front of the neck to fix the position of the occipital region 3, making the ice cap more secure.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, side flaps 34 are provided on both sides of the occipital region 3, and hook and loop fasteners 341 are provided on the side flaps 34. The outer layer 13 of the forehead cooling area is provided with hook and loop fasteners 14 that match the hook and loop fasteners 341. Specifically, the side flaps 34 are made of elastic material and can be stretched according to the patient's head circumference so that the hook and loop fasteners 341 can adhere to the hook and loop fasteners 14. In use, by stretching the side flaps 34 to the side and forward, the occipital region 3 is extended, and finally the hook and loop fasteners 34 on both sides are adhered to the hook and loop fasteners 14 on the outer layer 13 of the forehead cooling area to form a surround, so that the forehead cooling area 1, the top of the head cooling area 2, and the occipital region 3 adhere to and wrap around the top of the head.

[0055] Furthermore, the temperature display module 4 includes a temperature sensor 41 and a temperature display 42 linearly connected. The temperature sensor 41 is fixed to the inner surface of the outer layer of the forehead cooling area 1 to sense the temperature of the hydrogel adhesion layer, and the temperature display 42 is fixed to the outer surface of the outer layer of the forehead cooling area 1. By transmitting the temperature signal from the temperature sensor 41 to the temperature display 42, the temperature of the forehead cooling area 1 of the ice cap can be monitored and displayed in real time, so that people can understand the cooling effect in real time and replace the ice cap in a timely manner.

[0056] When using this lightweight ice cap, the forehead cooling area 1, the top of the head cooling area 2, and the occipital area 3 are arranged to form a head placement area for the wearer. The ice cap is placed on the wearer's head. The Velcro tabs 341 on the side wings 34 of the occipital area 3 cooperate with the Velcro tabs 14 on the outer layer 13 of the forehead cooling area to secure the forehead cooling area 1, the top of the head cooling area 2, and the occipital area 3. The first extension strap 32 and the second extension strap 33 at the lower end of the occipital area 3 are tied around the wearer's neck in front of the neck to make the ice cap more secure. An ice pack is placed in the top of the head cooling area 2 to cool the patient's head. The transparent anti-adhesive layer of the forehead cooling area 1 is removed, and the forehead cooling area 1 is directly attached to the wearer's forehead for cooling. The temperature of the forehead cooling area 1 is observed in real time through the temperature display module 4 to understand the cooling effect and replace the ice cap in time. When the temperature of the ice cap rises, the ice cap can be placed in the refrigerator to cool down and reused until the wearer's cooling is finished.

[0057] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
