Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, specifically to a pillow for open surgery after laryngeal cancer. Background Technology

[0002] Laryngeal cancer is classified into primary and secondary types. Primary laryngeal cancer refers to tumors originating in the larynx, with squamous cell carcinoma being the most common. Secondary laryngeal cancer refers to malignant tumors from other sites that have metastasized to the larynx; this is less common. Symptoms of laryngeal cancer mainly include hoarseness, difficulty breathing, cough, difficulty swallowing, and cervical lymph node metastasis. Treatment for laryngeal cancer typically involves vertical partial laryngectomy and supraglottic partial laryngectomy.

[0003] Treatment with horizontal and vertical partial laryngectomy and horizontal partial supraglottic resection often results in varying degrees of damage to the skin and tissues of the larynx. During the recovery process, pus may drain, and pain may occur during movement. To alleviate the patient's laryngeal pain, promote drainage of pus from the neck wound, and aid in postoperative wound healing, the head of the bed is often raised by 30 to 40 degrees. However, existing pillows are difficult to adjust to the optimal angle accurately, and the patient's head and body cannot be adequately supported and restrained. An excessively large angle between the head and body, or movement during sleep, can easily pull on the sutured wound, making it difficult for the wound to heal.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a pillow for open surgery of laryngeal cancer. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems and provide a postoperative pillow for laryngeal cancer surgery.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a postoperative pillow for laryngeal cancer, comprising a head pillow and a shoulder pillow, characterized in that: the head pillow has an O-shaped opening in the middle, bandages fixedly connected to both sides of the head pillow, a neck support set on the lower side of the head pillow, and an adjustable airbag installed at the lower end of the head pillow and neck support, with an inflation device connected to one side of the adjustable airbag; one side of the shoulder pillow is hinged to one side of the neck support, and a left and right side pillow are symmetrically installed on both sides of the shoulder pillow, with fixing straps respectively provided at the ends of the left and right side pillows, a cotton pad connecting the left and right side pillows, and a limit strap provided on the back.

[0007] Preferably, the diameter of the O-shaped opening is 100mm-150mm.

[0008] Preferably, the neck support is a pillow with a central protrusion that fits the back of the neck.

[0009] Preferably, the regulating airbag has a triangular structure, with a folded layer at the rear end, a deflation tube fixedly connected to one side, and a deflation valve installed at the end of the deflation tube.

[0010] Preferably, the inflation device includes an inflation tube at one side, an inflation bladder at the end of the inflation tube, an inflation check valve installed in the middle of the inflation tube, an air inlet tube at the side of the inflation bladder, and an air inlet check valve in the middle of the air inlet tube.

[0011] Preferably, the shoulder pillow is provided with shoulder straps at both ends, and the left and right sides of the pillow are respectively fitted to the rib area on both sides of the human body.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting strip includes a left limiting strip fixedly connected to the back of the left side pillow, a Velcro surface at the end of the left limiting strip, a right limiting strip fixedly installed on the back of the right side pillow, and a Velcro hook surface at the end of the right limiting strip.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention improves comfort by using an O-shaped opening in the center of the headrest, allowing the back of the patient's head to fit comfortably inside. Bandages on both sides of the headrest secure the patient's head, preventing strain on postoperative wounds. A neck brace supports the neck, keeping the wound in a naturally relaxed position to aid healing. Adjustable airbags allow for optimal lifting angles based on the patient's needs, enhancing ease of use. Left and right side pillows limit movement of the user's shoulders and body, preventing accidental injury to the laryngeal cancer wound. A fixing strap secures the entire device to the bed, increasing stability, and the adjustable restraint straps accommodate different body widths, making operation and use more convenient.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] See Figures 1 to 4As shown, a postoperative pillow for laryngeal cancer surgery includes a head pillow 1 and a shoulder pillow 2. The head pillow 1 includes an O-shaped opening 11 in the middle, the diameter of which is 100mm-150mm; bandages 12 fixedly connected to both sides of the head pillow 1; a neck support 13 located on the lower side of the head pillow 1, the neck support 13 having a central protrusion that conforms to the back of the neck; an adjustable airbag 14 installed at the lower ends of the head pillow 1 and the neck support 13, the adjustable airbag 14 having a triangular structure, a folded layer 141 at the rear end of the adjustable airbag 14, and a deflation tube 142 fixedly connected to one side, with a deflation valve 143 installed at the end of the deflation tube 142; an inflation device connected to one side tube of the adjustable airbag 14, the inflation device including an inflation tube 15 at the side end, an inflatable airbag 151 at the end of the inflation tube 15, and an inflation tube 151 installed in the middle of the inflation tube 15. A one-way valve 152 is provided. An air inlet pipe 153 is provided on the side end of the inflatable balloon 151, and an air inlet one-way valve 154 is provided in the middle of the air inlet pipe. One side of the shoulder pillow 2 is hinged to one side of the neck support 13. A left pillow 21 and a right pillow 22 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the shoulder pillow 2. Shoulder straps 26 are provided at both ends of the shoulder pillow 2. The left pillow 21 and the right pillow 22 are respectively fitted to the rib area on both sides of the human body. Fixing straps 23 are provided at the ends of the left pillow 21 and the right pillow 22. A cotton pad 24 is connected between the left pillow 21 and the right pillow 22. A limiting strap 25 is provided on the back. The limiting strap 25 includes a left limiting strip 251 fixedly connected to the back of the left pillow 21, a Velcro surface 252 provided at the end of the left limiting strip 251, a right limiting strip 253 fixedly installed on the back of the right pillow 22, and a Velcro hook surface 254 provided at the end of the right limiting strip 253.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] The bandage 12 described in this invention is applied to the temples and forehead of the human body.

[0027] The left pillow 21 and right pillow 22 of this invention are respectively attached to the rib area on the left and right sides of the human body.

[0028] The fixing strap 23 of this utility model is fixedly connected to the end of the side pillow in the middle. The fixing strap 23 and the shoulder strap 26 are respectively provided with a fastening mechanism with the same fastening mechanism as the existing backpack strap connection buckle structure.

[0029] Example 3

[0030] Operating principle: When the user needs to use this device, first adjust the left pillow 21 and right pillow 22 to a suitable width according to the width of their shoulders and ribs using the limiting strap 25.
