Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically a bra for compressing the incision after pacemaker implantation. Background Technology

[0002] After a permanent pacemaker is implanted, pressure needs to be applied to the patient's chest skin sutures to stop bleeding and prevent the sutures from opening or bursting. Currently, the common method is to have the patient lie still and apply pressure to the skin sutures with a sandbag weighing approximately 2 kg placed on the patient's chest. However, even slight movement by the patient can easily cause the sandbag to shift, resulting in poor hemostasis. Furthermore, because the sandbag is difficult to hold firmly, the patient cannot move or get up to use the restroom, restricting their mobility. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pacemaker implantation wound compression bra. After pacemaker implantation, the fixation device is fixed in the patient's chest at the pacemaker implantation position via shoulder straps and chest straps. A water-filled balloon is used to compress and stop bleeding at the patient's chest wound. The lengths of the shoulder straps and chest straps can be adjusted as needed, making it suitable for patients of different body types. The water-filled balloon is less likely to deviate from the pacemaker position, resulting in better compression and hemostasis. Moreover, the patient's movement is not restricted, allowing them to move their body and get up to use the toilet.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A pacemaker implantation wound compression bra includes a fixation base and an elastic back pad. The back pad is placed in the center of the patient's back, and has two shoulder straps and two chest straps around its perimeter. The two shoulder straps are wrapped around the patient's shoulders, and the two chest straps are wrapped around the patient's armpits. The fixation base is placed in the patient's chest at the pacemaker implantation site. The fixation base has two shoulder strap buckles and two chest strap buckles around its perimeter. The two shoulder straps pass through the two shoulder strap buckles and are secured with Velcro, and the two chest straps pass through the two chest strap buckles and are secured with Velcro. A water-filled bladder is located on the back of the fixation base for applying pressure to the patient's chest wound to stop bleeding.

[0006] Compared with existing technologies, the post-implantation compression bra using the above-mentioned technical solution for pacemaker implantation has the following beneficial effects:

[0007] This invention utilizes a pacemaker implantation wound compression bra. After pacemaker implantation, medical staff first place the fixation device and back pad on the patient's chest and back respectively. Then, the two shoulder straps of the back pad are wrapped around the patient's shoulders and connected to the corresponding shoulder strap buckles of the fixation device. Next, the two chest straps of the back pad are wrapped around the patient's armpits and connected to the corresponding chest strap buckles of the fixation device, thus securing the fixation device in the pacemaker implantation position in the patient's chest. A water-filled balloon is then used to apply pressure to the chest wound for hemostasis. The lengths of the shoulder and chest straps can be adjusted as needed, making it suitable for patients of different body types. The water-filled balloon is less likely to deviate from the pacemaker position, resulting in better hemostasis. Furthermore, patient movement is unrestricted, allowing them to move around and get up to use the restroom.

[0008] In the preferred embodiment, when the pressure in the water bag is insufficient and there is bleeding from the patient's chest, an alarm can be triggered to alert medical staff for timely intervention.

[0009] Preferably, the surface of the water-filled bladder is made of a transparent material. Medical staff can directly observe the bleeding from the patient's chest wound through the water-filled bladder with the naked eye.

[0010] Preferably, the water bladder is equipped with a pressure sensor to detect the water bladder pressure. The fixing base is equipped with an alarm, which is electrically connected to the pressure sensor. When the water bladder pressure is insufficient, the pressure sensor triggers the alarm to send an alarm signal, reminding medical staff to adjust the fixing base in time so that the water bladder can effectively compress and stop bleeding, reducing the occurrence of chest bleeding in patients.

[0011] Preferably, a liquid sensor is provided on the back of the mounting base. This liquid sensor is used to detect blood. The liquid sensor can be referenced from the liquid sensor in existing patent CN215134412U. The liquid sensor has a detection patch that is annular and arranged around the outer circumference of the water bladder. The detection patch includes at least two annular electrodes. The liquid sensor is electrically connected to an alarm: when there is bleeding from the patient's chest, the liquid sensor triggers the alarm to emit an alarm signal. The liquid sensor detection patch surrounds the outer circumference of the patient's chest wound, ensuring that the liquid sensor successfully detects blood when there is bleeding from the patient's chest.

[0012] Preferably, the alarm includes a speaker that sounds when the alarm is triggered. The sound is delivered via the speaker to provide an audible alert.

[0013] Preferably, the alarm includes LED lights: when the water bag pressure is insufficient, the pressure sensor triggers the LED light to illuminate yellow; when the patient experiences chest bleeding, the liquid sensor triggers the LED light to illuminate red. The LED lights provide visual alerts, using different colors to indicate insufficient water bag pressure and chest bleeding respectively, making it easier for medical staff to identify the cause.

[0014] Preferably, the mounting base has a display screen on the front, which is electrically connected to the pressure sensor. The display screen shows the duration of pressure applied by the water-filled balloon. The pressure hemostasis duration is generally 6-8 hours. Medical staff can check the display screen to know the duration of balloon pressure, thus serving as a timer.

[0015] Preferably, the garment also includes a body, which can be similar to an existing vest. The back pad is fixed to the center of the back of the garment, and the front of the garment has an opening at a position that conforms to the human chest, exposing the patient's chest. The fixation seat is placed inside the opening. When the patient puts on the garment, there is no need to manually fix the position of the back pad, making it convenient to wear the fixation seat.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 The pacemaker insertion wound compression bra shown includes a fixation base 1 and an elastic back pad 30. The back pad 30 is placed at the center of the patient's back. Two shoulder straps 31 and two chest straps 32 are located around the periphery of the back pad 30. The two shoulder straps 31 are wrapped around the patient's shoulders, and the two chest straps 32 are wrapped around the patient's armpits. The fixation base 1 is placed in the patient's chest at the pacemaker insertion position. Two shoulder strap buckles 11 and two chest strap buckles 12 are located around the periphery of the fixation base 1. The two shoulder straps 31 pass through the two shoulder strap buckles 11 and are secured with Velcro. The two chest straps 32 pass through the two chest strap buckles 12 and are secured with Velcro. A water-filled bladder 2 is located on the back of the fixation base 1. The water-filled bladder 2 is used to compress and stop bleeding at the patient's chest wound. After pacemaker implantation, medical staff first place the fixation seat 1 and back pad 30 on the patient's chest and back, respectively. Then, the two shoulder straps 31 of the back pad 30 are wrapped around the patient's shoulders and connected to the corresponding shoulder strap buckles 11 of the fixation seat 1. Next, the two chest straps 32 of the back pad 30 are wrapped around the patient's armpits and connected to the corresponding chest strap buckles 12 of the fixation seat 1, thus fixing the fixation seat 1 in the pacemaker implantation position on the patient's chest. The water-filled balloon 2 is used to apply pressure to the patient's chest wound to stop bleeding. The lengths of the shoulder straps 31 and chest straps 32 can be adjusted as needed to suit patients of different body types. The water-filled balloon 2 is less likely to deviate from the pacemaker position, and the pressure hemostasis effect is better. Moreover, the patient's movement is not restricted, and they can move their body and get up to go to the toilet.

[0028] The back pad 30 is triangular in shape and made of elastic silicone material. Two shoulder straps 31 are fixed to the top corners of the back pad 30, and two chest straps 32 are fixed to the bottom corners of the back pad 30.

[0029] The fixation base 1 and the water-filled bladder 2 are made of transparent material. Medical staff can directly observe the bleeding from the patient's chest wound through the water-filled bladder 2.

[0030] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The water bag 2 is equipped with a pressure sensor 21, which is used to detect the pressure of the water bag 2. The fixing seat 1 is equipped with an alarm, which is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 21. When the pressure of the water bag 2 is insufficient, the pressure sensor 21 triggers the alarm to send an alarm signal, reminding medical staff to adjust the fixing seat 1 in time so that the water bag 2 can effectively compress and stop bleeding, reducing the occurrence of chest bleeding in patients.

[0031] The mounting base 1 has a liquid sensor on its back, which is used to detect blood. The liquid sensor can be referenced from the liquid sensor in existing patent CN215134412U. The liquid sensor detection piece 22 is annular and arranged around the outer circumference of the water bladder 2. The detection piece 22 includes two annular electrodes 23. The liquid sensor is electrically connected to an alarm: when there is bleeding from the patient's chest, the liquid sensor triggers the alarm to issue an alarm signal. The liquid sensor detection piece 22 surrounds the outer circumference of the patient's chest wound, ensuring that the liquid sensor successfully detects blood when there is bleeding from the patient's chest.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The alarm includes a speaker 13 and an LED light 14. When the alarm sounds, the speaker 13 emits an audible sound. When the pressure in the water bag 2 is insufficient, the pressure sensor 21 triggers the LED light 14 to illuminate yellow; when there is bleeding from the patient's chest, the liquid sensor triggers the LED light 14 to illuminate red. The LED light 14 provides visual alerts, using different colors to indicate insufficient pressure in the water bag 2 and chest bleeding, respectively, making it easier for medical staff to identify the cause.

[0033] The mounting base 1 has a display 15 and a power button 17 on its front. The display 15 is electrically connected to both the power button 17 and the pressure sensor 21.
