Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a chest strap for post-thoracotomy visualization and catheter fixation. Background Technology

[0002] Following open-chest surgery on the heart and major blood vessels, patients typically need to wear a chest binder to facilitate postoperative recovery. The chest binder effectively prevents excessive movement and impact to the chest by restricting the range of motion of the rib cage, thereby reducing the risk of wound rupture, preventing adhesions of intrathoracic tissues, and minimizing wound pain caused by activity.

[0003] However, traditional chest bandages often cover the entire chest, making it inconvenient to observe the surgical dressing. Medical staff need to open the chest bandage from time to time to check the dressing, which not only interrupts the continuous use of the chest bandage but may also affect the patient's rest quality and increase the workload of medical staff. On the other hand, existing chest bandages are prone to wrapping the drainage tube when worn, which not only causes discomfort to the patient but may also affect the effective drainage of the drainage tube and even cause skin pressure injury. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a post-thoracotomy visualization and catheter fixation chest band. The observation port on the surface of the chest band allows medical staff to directly observe the wound and catheter status without removing the chest band, improving the convenience and efficiency of nursing care, ensuring effective pressure of the chest band, timely observation of bleeding and oozing from the incision, increasing patient safety, and reducing the chance of incision infection.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a chest band for visualization and catheter fixation after thoracotomy, comprising a chest band, a Velcro strip fixedly installed on one side of one end of the chest band, a groove opened on the surface of the other end of the chest band, a Velcro piece installed inside the groove, an observation port opened on the surface of the chest band, a drainage tube groove for preventing the drainage tube from draining below the observation port, a fixing groove opened on one side of the observation port, a disassembly groove opened on the other side of the observation port, a covering strip installed inside the observation port, one side of the covering strip being fixedly installed inside the fixing groove by fixing nails, the other end of the covering strip being movably installed inside the disassembly groove by buckles, a transparent plate being fixedly installed on the side of the observation port away from the covering strip, a partition being left between the transparent plate and the covering strip, and a connecting strip being installed inside the partition.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the size of the groove is the same as the size of the Velcro strip, and the internal height of the groove is greater than that of the Velcro strip.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the transparent plate is made of a flexible material.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the covering strip is capable of covering and blocking the observation port.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The Velcro strip on one side of the chest band matches the groove on the surface of the other end, achieving quick and stable fixation and adjustment. This allows patients to adjust it themselves according to their body shape and comfort needs. The observation port on the surface of the chest band allows medical staff to directly observe the wound and catheter status without removing the chest band, improving the convenience and efficiency of nursing care, ensuring effective pressure on the chest band, timely observation of bleeding and oozing from the incision, increasing patient safety, and reducing the chance of incision infection. Simultaneously, the drainage groove below the observation port prevents drainage. The tube reduces skin pressure and increases patient comfort. In addition, the fixing groove on one side of the observation port and the disassembly groove on the other side provide a convenient way to install and remove the covering strip. Medical staff can easily open or close the observation port to perform necessary inspections or maintenance. One end of the covering strip is installed in the fixing groove with fixing nails, and the other end is installed in the disassembly groove with buckles. This ensures the stability of the covering strip and facilitates quick disassembly. A transparent plate fixedly installed inside the observation port on the side away from the covering strip has a partition between it and the covering strip. The connecting strip inside the partition further enhances the stability and durability of the structure. Attached Figure Description

Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods in the following embodiments are conventional methods, and the materials and reagents used in the following embodiments are commercially available unless otherwise specified.

[0016] Please refer to Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a chest band for visualization and catheter fixation after thoracotomy, including a chest band 10. A Velcro strip 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the chest band 10, and a groove 12 is opened on the surface of the other end of the chest band 10. A Velcro piece 13 is installed inside the groove 12. An observation port 20 is opened on the surface of the chest band 10. A drainage tube groove 21 for preventing the drainage tube is opened below the observation port 20. A fixing groove 22 is opened on one side of the observation port 20, and a disassembly groove 23 is opened on the other side of the observation port 20. A covering strip 24 is installed inside the observation port 20. One side of the covering strip 24 is fixedly installed inside the fixing groove 22 by a fixing nail 25. The other end of the covering strip 24 is movably installed inside the disassembly groove 23 by a buckle 26. A transparent plate 27 is fixedly installed on the side of the observation port 20 away from the covering strip 24. A partition 28 is left between the transparent plate 27 and the covering strip 24. A connecting strip 29 is installed inside the partition 28.

[0017] The Velcro strip 11 on one side of the chest strap 10 matches the groove 12 on the surface of the other end, enabling quick and stable fixation and adjustment. This allows patients to adjust it themselves according to their body shape and comfort needs. The observation port 20 on the surface of the chest strap 10 allows medical staff to directly observe the wound and catheter status without removing the chest strap 10, improving the convenience and efficiency of nursing care, ensuring effective pressure of the chest strap 10, timely observation of bleeding and oozing from the incision, increasing patient safety, and reducing the chance of wound infection. At the same time, the drainage tube groove 21 below the observation port 20 avoids the drainage tube from pressing on the skin, increasing patient comfort. In addition, the observation port 20... The fixing groove 22 on one side and the disassembly groove 23 on the other side provide a convenient way to install and remove the covering strip 24. Medical staff can easily open or close the observation port 20 to perform necessary inspections or maintenance. One side of the covering strip 24 is installed in the fixing groove 22 by fixing nails 25, and the other end is movably installed in the disassembly groove 23 by buckles 26.
