Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary devices, specifically to a simple nasal ice pack. Background Technology
[0002] In postoperative care after nasal surgery, cold compresses are a commonly used adjunctive treatment. Currently, the medical ice packs traditionally used in hospitals have some shortcomings. Their shape is usually a standard sheet and not specifically designed for nasal surgery. These ice packs are relatively large, which can easily cause frostbite to the eyes when used for nasal cold compresses; moreover, their weight can cause pressure sores on the nose. Furthermore, traditional ice packs cannot precisely conform to the surgical site, resulting in poor cold compress effects and failing to adequately meet the needs of postoperative nasal care.
[0003] How to invent a simple nasal ice pack to improve these problems has become an urgent problem for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a simple ice pack for the nose, including a flexible nose-shaped container 1. The flexible nose-shaped container 1 has several crisscrossed partition structures 101 inside, which divide the interior of the flexible nose-shaped container 1 into several ice storage chambers 102 of different sizes. Each pair of adjacent ice storage chambers 102 are connected by corresponding connecting holes on the partition structures 101. A water inlet 103 is provided at the top of the front surface of the flexible nose-shaped container 1, which is connected to the topmost ice storage chamber 102. A sealing plug is provided in the water inlet 103. A nose contact layer 104 is provided on the rear surface of the flexible nose-shaped container 1. Elastic ear loops 2 are provided on both sides of the flexible nose-shaped container 1.
[0020] It should be noted that the flexible nose-shaped container and partition structure 101 are integrally molded from medical-grade silicone, combining flexibility and low-temperature resistance (-20℃ to 60℃), and can conform to the curve of the nose. The ice storage chambers 102 vary in size (larger at the top and smaller at the bottom) to fit the three-dimensional shape of the bridge and wings of the nose; the connecting hole is a round hole with a diameter of 2-3mm to ensure that air bubbles are expelled during water filling. The sealing plug is made of silicone and fits the water inlet 103 with an interference fit. The elastic ear loops 2 have silicone anti-slip protrusions at the ends to fit the shape of the ear, and can also be equipped with a length adjustment structure to increase applicability.
[0021] Furthermore, the nasal contact layer 104 comprises, from the inside out, a thermosensitive gel layer, an absorbent layer, and a hemostatic layer.
[0022] The thermosensitive gel layer uses a thermosensitive gel (such as polyethylene glycol-based materials) with a phase change temperature of 5℃-8℃, which absorbs cold energy when melting to prevent frostbite. The absorbent layer is made of medical absorbent cotton or superabsorbent polymer (SAP) fibers, 1-2mm thick, to absorb condensation. The hemostatic layer contains chitosan or gelatin sponge pads, which directly contact the wound to accelerate hemostasis. This layered structure combines multiple functions. The hemostatic layer effectively helps with postoperative hemostasis in the nasal cavity, the absorbent layer keeps the wound clean, and the thermosensitive gel layer absorbs cold energy when the ice pack is used, preventing ice from directly contacting the skin and causing frostbite, thus comprehensively improving the medical care effect and safety of the ice pack.
[0023] Furthermore, the thermosensitive gel layer has a honeycomb microstructure.
[0024] The honeycomb structure is molded with a pore wall thickness of 0.1-0.2mm, which enhances the flexibility of the gel layer, making it less prone to breakage when the nose is bent, and conforming to the curve of the nose. At the same time, it increases the cold absorption area and reduces local temperature differences.
[0025] Furthermore, the hemostatic layer and the absorbent layer are detachably connected.
[0026] The hemostatic layer is secured to the absorbent layer with Velcro or silicone clips, allowing for separate washing or replacement after removal. This prevents bacterial residue and extends the layer's lifespan. In practical applications, it can also be replaced with a drug-releasing layer (such as for analgesics).
[0027] Furthermore, in addition to the nose contact layer 104 on the rear outer wall, the flexible nose-shaped container 1 is provided with a heat insulation film on the rest of its outer wall.
[0028] The heat insulation film is made of polyurethane foam (1-2mm thick) and is laminated to the outer surface of the silicone container. It blocks the transfer of cold energy to non-contact areas (such as the eyes) and reduces water droplet condensation when the ambient humidity is high, thus reducing the formation of external condensation.
[0029] Furthermore, the connecting holes in each ice storage cavity 102 are funnel-shaped structures, with the diameter of one end facing inward being larger than the diameter of the other end.
[0030] The inlet diameter of the connecting hole is 3mm, and the outlet diameter is 1.5mm. During water filling, the water flows from top to bottom, and air bubbles are discharged through the wide opening, ensuring smooth and uniform water filling of the ice storage chamber. This reduces the possibility of uneven cold distribution caused by residual air bubbles inside the ice pack.
[0031] Furthermore, the two ends of each elastic ear loop 2 are fixedly connected to the surface of the bridge of the nose and the wing of the nose on the same side of the flexible nose container 1, respectively.
[0032] The elastic ear loop 2 and the flexible nose-shaped container 1 are connected by an overmolded injection molding process. The fixing point for the bridge of the nose is located at the top 1 / 3 of the container, and the fixing point for the nostrils is located at the lower edge of the container, forming a triangular force-bearing structure. This allows for a better fit to the nose while distributing weight during wear. In practical applications, a memory foam strip (2mm thick) can be embedded inside to adapt to the shape of the ear.
[0033] Working principle: Water is injected into the flexible nasal container 1 through the water inlet 103. The water flows through the connecting hole and evenly fills each ice storage cavity 102 from top to bottom. The ice pack is placed flat in the freezer to freeze, and the water in the ice storage cavity 102 solidifies into ice cubes (ice water can be added directly for use as needed). Before use, the silicone container is kneaded to separate the ice cubes in each ice storage cavity 102, improving the overall fit to the nasal curve. The nasal contact layer 104 on the back of the ice pack is attached to the nose after surgery. The elastic ear loops 2 are wrapped around both ears for fixation, and the triangular fixation structure distributes gravity. The temperature-sensitive gel layer absorbs cold and buffers the low temperature to prevent frostbite, the water-absorbing layer absorbs condensation to keep the skin dry, and the removable hemostatic layer directly contacts the wound to accelerate hemostasis. The heat insulation film on the outside of the container blocks the diffusion of cold to avoid frostbite to the eyes. After use, the hemostatic layer can be removed for cleaning and replacement. The whole unit can be refilled with water and frozen repeatedly. The accompanying quick-freezing ice box supports outdoor emergency scenarios.
[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
