Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical dressing technology, and in particular relates to a special dressing for cleft lip surgery. Background Technology
[0002] Cleft lip is a congenital facial deformity, and surgical repair is the key treatment approach. Postoperative wound care is crucial but faces many challenges. Traditional dressings, such as ordinary gauze, have significant limitations in the application of cleft lip surgery. Primarily, they struggle to precisely conform to the complex shape of the lip. The unique curves and contours of the lip cause the gauze to wrinkle and shift after fixation, greatly increasing wound exposure and the risk of infection. Ordinary gauze also has poor breathability, leading to a moist environment around the lip wound due to respiration and secretions. This warm and humid environment promotes bacterial growth, hinders wound healing, and may cause local inflammation, negatively impacting surgical outcomes and patient recovery. Cleft lip surgery emphasizes cleft repair and aesthetic shaping; traditional dressings cannot provide adequate pressure and shaping, hindering wound healing and the formation of a natural, beautiful lip contour. This can have potential negative psychological and social impacts on patients, especially children. Managing exudate during wound healing is also crucial. Ordinary dressings have limited exudate absorption capacity, failing to maintain wound dryness and cleanliness, affecting healing speed and quality. Post-operative pressure is needed to prevent swelling, but existing conventional dressings are often too thin to effectively reduce swelling. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a special dressing for cleft lip surgery that has a simple structure, good moisture absorption, and good compression and swelling-relieving properties.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a special dressing for cleft lip surgery, comprising an adhesive strip, a gauze layer, and a moisture-absorbing foam layer. The adhesive strip is horizontally arranged in the left-right direction, the gauze layer is arranged in the front-back direction at the middle of the adhesive side of the adhesive strip, and the moisture-absorbing foam layer is arranged on the side of the gauze layer away from the adhesive strip.

[0030] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. The utility model is described more specifically in the following paragraphs by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of this utility model will become clearer from the following description and claims. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of this utility model.
[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a special dressing for cleft lip surgery, including an adhesive strip 1, a gauze layer 2, and a moisture-absorbing foam layer 3. The adhesive strip 1 is horizontally arranged in the left-right direction, the gauze layer 2 is arranged in the front-back direction at the middle of the adhesive side of the adhesive strip 1, and the moisture-absorbing foam layer 3 is arranged on the side of the gauze layer 2 away from the adhesive strip 1. In this way, the dressing can be directly pasted on the philtrum of the patient after cleft lip surgery, and the gauze layer and the moisture-absorbing foam layer compress the indentation at the philtrum, which has a good compression effect and good moisture absorption, reducing the probability of postoperative wound infection.
[0032] In this embodiment, the total length of the adhesive tape strip can be 4-6cm (any value or any two values between 4cm, 5cm, and 6cm); the thickness of the gauze layer 2 is 0.2-0.5cm (any value or any two values between 0.2cm, 0.3cm, 0.4cm, and 0.5cm), so that the thickness of the gauze layer can better match the indentation at the philtrum, thereby improving its compression effect; the width of the gauze layer 2 is 0.3-0.5cm (any value or any two values between 0.3cm, 0.4cm, and 0.5cm), so that the width of the adhesive tape layer can better match the indentation at the philtrum. The gauze layer 2 and the moisture-absorbing foam layer 3 are flush with both sides of the adhesive strip 1, which makes the dressing aesthetically pleasing when applied to the philtrum. The width of the adhesive strip 1 in the front-to-back direction is 0.5-1.5cm (any value or a range between any two of 0.5cm, 1cm, and 1.5cm), which allows its width to match the length of the indentation at the philtrum. The thickness of the moisture-absorbing foam layer 3 is 0.05-0.2cm (any value or a range between any two of 0.05cm, 0.1cm, 0.15cm, and 0.2cm), which has a simple structure and good moisture absorption.
[0033] The moisture-absorbing foam layer 3 described in the above technical solution is made of medical-grade moisture-absorbing foam material, which has excellent moisture absorption effect, good comfort when in contact with the skin, and is not prone to causing allergies.
[0034] In the above technical solution, the left and right sides of the absorbent foam layer 3 extend to contact the adhesive tape strip 1, so as to surround the gauze layer 2 between them. In this way, the absorbent foam layer and the adhesive tape strip together wrap the gauze layer in the circumferential direction. At this time, the gauze layer does not contact the patient's postoperative wound, but is only used to absorb the exudate from the wound washed by the absorbent foam layer. This allows the foam absorbent layer to always maintain good absorbency.
[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the above technical solution, the middle of both ends of the adhesive strip 1 is provided with an easy-tear line 11 along the front-back direction. In this way, the length of the adhesive strip can be adjusted as needed to meet the needs of different patients. For example, when the patient is a child, a section can be torn off from each end of the adhesive strip to reduce the overall length of the adhesive strip (the length from the easy-tear line at each end of the adhesive strip to its end can be 0.5-1cm, preferably 1cm).
[0036] like Figure 1As shown, in the above technical solution, both ends of the adhesive surface of the adhesive strip 1 are provided with release paper layers 4. In this way, the adhesive surface of the adhesive strip can be protected by the release paper layers during the packaging of the dressing. In this embodiment, two release paper layers are provided, and the two release paper layers are respectively pasted to both ends of the adhesive strip. The ends of the two release paper layers that are close to each other overlap at the moisture-absorbing foam layer 3. In this way, the two release paper layers can not only protect the adhesive surface of the adhesive strip, but also cover the moisture-absorbing foam layer in the middle. The way the two release paper layers are set in this embodiment is similar to the way the release paper is set on the existing wound dressing, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0037] In this embodiment, the gauze layer 2 can be in the form of a roll (its density should be maximized during rolling), which provides excellent pressure hemostasis. More preferably, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the gauze layer can be compacted into a cube shape, while the moisture-absorbing foam layer wraps around three sides of the gauze layer (while the remaining side of the gauze layer is wrapped by an adhesive tape layer). At this time, the two edges of the moisture-absorbing foam layer are rounded to improve its matching with the indentation at the philtrum.
[0038] The absorbent foam layer described in this embodiment has high water absorption, good air permeability and good biocompatibility. It can quickly absorb exudate from the wound, prevent adhesion, promote healing and maintain an oxygen-rich environment at the wound site.
[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the contact surface between the moisture-absorbing foam layer and the gauze layer can be wrinkled, which makes the contact surface between the moisture-absorbing foam layer and the gauze layer larger, so that the exudate absorbed by the moisture-absorbing foam layer can be transferred to the gauze layer for absorption more quickly.
[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description. However, any modifications, alterations, or equivalent variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are considered equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
