Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nursing equipment technology, and in particular to a hot compress device for post-insertion care of medium-length catheters. Background Technology

[0002] With advancements in medical technology, medium-length catheters are widely used in clinical practice, especially for patients requiring long-term intravenous infusion therapy. This type of catheter, due to its moderate length, avoids the need for frequent changes of peripheral intravenous catheters and reduces the risk of complications that may arise from central venous catheters. However, post-catheterization local reactions such as swelling and pain remain a significant concern for both doctors and patients.

[0003] When dealing with local swelling and pain after medium-length catheter placement, a combination of physical therapy and medication is typically used. One commonly used method is hot compress with traditional Chinese medicine. This involves applying a moist compress made from herbs known for their blood-activating, swelling-reducing, and pain-relieving properties to the affected area. The medicinal properties promote blood circulation and accelerate the absorption of inflammation, thereby alleviating symptoms. However, the moist compress can leak and stick to the heating device, requiring repeated cleaning and reducing the number of uses. Utility Model Content

In this embodiment, the free end of the first fixation strap 32 passes through the connecting buckle 31 and is connected to itself via Velcro. Of course, other detachable connection methods are also possible. This fixation method can also cover the shoulder. Although a dressing cannot be applied, heating is still possible, and the fixation effect is better.

[0038] The second fixing component 4 includes a second fixing strap 41, one end of which is connected to the right side of the covering pad 1, and the other end of which is detachably connected to the left side of the covering pad 1. The second fixing strap 41 is detachably connected to the covering pad 1 via Velcro for easy use.

[0039] A main unit 6 is provided on the outside of the covering pad 1. The main unit 6 is detachably electrically connected to the heating element 2 and is detachably connected to the covering pad 1. The main unit 6 controls the heating element 2, which facilitates temperature adjustment, and can also supply power to the heating element 2. It is portable and can be used in a mobile manner.
