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

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hot compress device for post-insertion care of medium-length catheters. The device first fixes the dressing on the upper arm using a storage component, and then fixes the storage component with a covering pad to prevent the wet dressing from leaking out and sticking to the covering pad.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A heat therapy device for post-insertion care of a medium-length catheter includes a covering pad with a heating element inside. The covering pad is used to cover the patient's upper arm. A first fixing component is provided at the upper end of the covering pad, and a second fixing component is provided at the lower end of the covering pad. A storage component is detachably installed on the inner side of the covering pad.

[0007] The storage assembly includes a flexible shell and an extension strap. The flexible shell is open on the side away from the covering pad. The flexible shell is used to hold the dressing. The flexible shell and the extension strap are made of waterproof material. One end of the extension strap is connected to the right side of the open end of the flexible shell. The other end of the extension strap is detachably connected to the rear end of the flexible shell after going around the arm. The extension strap and the flexible shell are detachably connected to the covering pad.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the dressing is placed in the storage component and then wrapped around the patient's upper arm. The covering pad is then used to further fix the storage component and heat it to ensure the effect of hot compress. Of course, this can greatly avoid the situation where the wet dressing will flow out and stick to the covering pad.

[0009] A further feature of this invention is that the width of the sidewall of the flexible shell is 1-1.5cm, and the sidewall of the flexible shell has a hollow structure.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the flexible shell and extension band can be fixed to the patient's upper arm through the first hook and loop surface and the first hook and loop barbed surface. The covering pad is then fixed to the flexible shell and extension band by the combination of the first hook and loop surface, the second hook and loop surface and the second hook and loop barbed surface, and further fixed.

[0015] A further feature of this invention is that the upper end of the padding extends to the patient's shoulder, the first fixing component includes a connecting buckle and a first fixing strap, the connecting buckle is located on the left side of the upper end of the padding, one end of the first fixing strap is connected to the right side of the upper end of the padding, and the other end of the first fixing strap passes through the patient's other armpit and is detachably connected to the connecting buckle.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the stability of the fixed structure is guaranteed.

[0017] A further feature of this invention is that the second fixing component includes a second fixing strap, one end of which is connected to the right side of the covering pad, and the other end of which is detachably connected to the left side of the covering pad.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, fixing is simple and convenient.

[0019] A further feature of this invention is that a main unit is provided on the outside of the covering pad, the main unit is detachably electrically connected to the heating element, and the main unit is detachably connected to the covering pad.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to adjust the temperature and also convenient to supply power to the heating element.

[0021] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] Firstly, the storage component and extension band in this utility model cover the dressing on the patient's upper arm, and then the covering pad further fixes the storage component and heats it to ensure the effect of hot compress. This can greatly prevent the wet dressing from flowing out and sticking to the covering pad.
