AI Technical Summary
The existing head bandages mostly use medical gauze, which is wrapped around the patient's head multiple times by medical staff to apply pressure and fix it. Patients cannot adjust the pressure themselves during the healing period, and the long-term high pressure restraint affects the healing process.
A head immobilization and protection device for neurosurgical patients, including a protective cap and an adjustable strap, was designed. It utilizes an airbag and a pressure regulation system to automatically adjust the pressure by means of an inflation device and a pressure relief valve. The airbag is equipped with a pressure monitoring mechanism to ensure appropriate pressure.
This allows patients to conveniently adjust the pressure themselves during the healing period, reduces the complicated disassembly process, and improves healing comfort and safety.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] With reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present application.
[0022] Embodiment 1
[0023] The present embodiment provides a neurosurgical patient head fixing and protecting device, as shown in the accompanying drawings, the protecting device comprises a protective cap 1 for wearing on the head of a patient to protect a surgical incision and an adjusting belt 2 fixedly installed on the protective cap 1: Figures 1-4
[0024] The protective cap 1 is provided in a semi-circular hollow spherical shape, an expansion cavity 13 is formed in the protective cap 1, an air bag 14 is filled and arranged in the expansion cavity 13, a gas filling head 16 and a gas discharging head 17 are fixedly installed on the protective cap 1, the gas filling head 16 extends through the outer wall of the protective cap 1 and is fixedly connected with the air bag 14 in the expansion cavity 13, a one-way valve 18 is fixedly installed on the gas filling head 16, and a pressure relief valve 19 is fixedly installed on the gas discharging head 17.
[0025] In use, the protective cap 1 is worn on the head, the tightness of the adjusting belt 2 is adjusted to adapt to different head circumferences, so as to ensure that the protective cap 1 is tightly worn, then the one-way valve 18 is connected with a gas filling device, the air bag 14 in the expansion cavity 13 is inflated through the gas filling head 16, the air bag 14 is inflated to support the expansion cavity 13, the expansion cavity 13 is inflated to pressurize the head, so as to pressurize and fix the gauze at the incision, which can not only ensure the stability of the gauze at the incision, but also has the same auxiliary detumescence and muscle adhesion effect as the wound gauze bandage, and in the continuous recovery process, if pressure reduction is needed, the air bag 14 can be deflated by opening the pressure relief valve 19 and discharging through the gas discharging head 17, so that the wound gauze does not need to be complicatedly disassembled, the operation is convenient, reasonable pressure change is convenient for the recovery of the patient, and the comfort is better.
[0026] Specifically, the inner side of the protective cap 1 is made of a flexible material, the outer side of the protective cap 1 is made of a hard material, and the width of the inner side wall of the protective cap 1 from the expansion cavity 13 is smaller than the width of the outer side wall of the protective cap 1 from the expansion cavity 13. In use, the relatively hard and thick protective cap 1 shell can effectively provide a certain anti-impact protection capability for the head of the patient, avoiding the influence of external adverse factors on the head of the patient, and the relatively soft and thin protective cap 1 inner shell facilitates the air bag 14 to better transmit the pressure change to the head, reducing the error.
[0027] More specifically, the inner side wall of the protective cap 1 is attached with a matching sweat-absorbing gauze 15. In use, the sweat-absorbing gauze 15 is placed in the protective cap 1, and then the protective cap 1 is worn on the head, so that the sweat-absorbing gauze 15 is in direct contact with the head, the textile fabric is more comfortable in contact with the head, and the sweat-absorbing effect is good, which can effectively ensure the cleanliness of the head and facilitate cleaning.
[0028] Further, a plurality of head circumference ventilation grooves 11 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the outer side wall of the protective cap 1. In use, the head circumference ventilation grooves 11 provide a good ventilation environment for the head circumference of the patient, avoiding pressure sores and reducing discomfort.
[0029] Further, a plurality of parietal ventilation grooves 12 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the top position of the outer side wall of the protective cap 1. In use, the parietal ventilation grooves 12 provide a good ventilation environment for the top of the patient's head, avoiding the influence of sweat on wound healing.
[0030] Embodiment 2
[0031] Unlike embodiment 1, when adjusting the air pressure of the air bag 14, the accurate adjustment amount cannot be known, which is inconvenient. Therefore, the protective device further comprises an air pressure monitoring mechanism 3. The air pressure monitoring mechanism 3 comprises a device mounting support 31 fixedly installed on the top of the protective cap 1, a display screen 32 fixedly installed on the device mounting support 31, a control module 33 fixedly installed in the device mounting support 31 and integrated with the display screen 32, a power module 34 and an air pressure detection sensor 35 integratedly connected to the control module 33, and a probe of the air pressure detection sensor 35 extending into the air bag 14.
[0032] When adjusting the air pressure of the air bag 14, the air pressure detection sensor 35 detects the air pressure of the air bag 14 through the probe. The air pressure detection sensor 35 transmits the detected data to the display screen 32 through the control module 33. Medical staff or family members can learn the real-time pressure of the air bag 14 by watching the display screen 32. If pressure needs to be increased, the air charging device is connected to the one-way valve 18 through the air charging head 16 to charge and pressurize the air bag 14. If pressure needs to be reduced, the pressure relief valve 19 is opened, and the gas in the air bag 14 is discharged through the exhaust head 17, so as to accurately control the pressure of the air bag 14 and ensure the comfort and safety of the patient.
[0033] The above is only the preferred specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any skilled person in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical solution and concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
