Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary devices for anterior cervical surgery, specifically a facial pressure protection frame for anterior cervical surgery. Background Technology

[0002] Anterior cervical surgery, especially procedures such as thyroid surgery and anterior cervical spine fixation, typically requires the patient to be in a supine position to ensure the precision and safety of the surgical procedure. However, in this surgical position, patients face a series of disadvantages without the use of a facial compression brace.

[0003] First, due to the specific nature of the surgical procedure, many patients cannot use an anesthesia head frame to support their heads, making head fixation and support a challenge. Without a protective frame, doctors and the surgical team often need to take additional measures to ensure the patient's head remains stable, which not only increases the complexity of the surgery but may also affect its success.

[0004] Secondly, to maintain cleanliness and sterility in the surgical area, the patient's head needs to be wrapped with a dressing. While this method helps reduce the risk of infection, it also introduces new problems. Because the dressing adheres tightly to the scalp, it restricts head movement to some extent and increases pressure on the skin around the eyes and face. During prolonged surgery, this pressure can lead to pressure sores on the skin around the eyes and face, causing unnecessary pain and discomfort for the patient.

[0005] Furthermore, endotracheal intubation and placement of an artificial nose are also essential components of anterior cervical surgery. However, without a protective frame, these instruments often have to be placed directly on the patient's face and pressed firmly to ensure their stability and functionality. Prolonged pressure can not only cause mechanical damage to the facial skin but also affect the patient's breathing and ventilation functions, increasing the risks and complexity of the surgery.

[0006] In summary, without a facial pressure-resistant brace for anterior cervical surgery, patients face multiple adverse conditions, including difficulty in head fixation, pressure sores on the eyes and face, and limited breathing and ventilation. These conditions not only increase the difficulty and risk of the surgery but may also negatively impact postoperative recovery and patient comfort. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a facial pressure-resistant brace for anterior cervical surgery that can effectively address these issues to improve surgical safety and patient comfort. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a facial pressure protection frame for anterior cervical surgery to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as placing the anesthesia endotracheal tube and artificial nose on the patient's face and pressing them tightly, resulting in instrument-induced pressure injury after the operation, and the dressing covering the head causing unavoidable pressure on the eyes and facial skin during the operation, resulting in pressure injury.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] A facial pressure protection frame for anterior cervical surgery includes a protective mask. Adjustable plates are slidably installed on both sides of the protective mask. Guide plates are inserted into the bottom of both sides of the adjustable plates. Adjustable grooves for inserting the guide plates are provided in the bottom of the adjustable plates. Supporting legs are fixed to the bottom of the guide plates. The middle part of the supporting legs protrudes upward in a V-shape. Anti-slip rubber pads are embedded in the bottom surfaces of both ends of the supporting legs.

[0010] The protective face shield has two symmetrically distributed adjustment holes on both sides. The top of the adjustment plate is curved at a 90-degree arc, and two symmetrically positioned adjustment rods are fixed to the top end face of the adjustment plate.

[0011] The adjusting rod is slidably inserted into the inner side of the adjusting hole, and a rubber sleeve is fitted on the outer side of the adjusting rod.

[0012] The rubber sleeve is made of rubber, and the thickness of the rubber sleeve is 1.5 times the distance between the outer surface of the adjusting rod and the inner wall of the adjusting hole.

[0013] The top of the guide plate has two symmetrically positioned adjusting spring plates, the width of which is one-third of the width of the guide plate, and the inner side of the adjusting groove is provided with multiple limiting grooves.

[0014] The limiting groove is arc-shaped inside, and the middle part of the adjusting spring plate protrudes arc-shaped into the adjusting groove. The arc-shaped protruding part of the adjusting spring plate is slidably engaged with the inside of the limiting groove.

[0015] The guide plate has through holes spaced apart for endotracheal intubation.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. This utility model provides excellent protection for the patient's head and face through an adjustable plate, protective mask, guide plate, and support legs. During the operation, the patient's face will not be compressed, reducing the risk of facial pressure injury during anterior cervical surgery. A V-shaped support leg is added to the bottom of the guide plate, with both ends of the support leg bent and the bottom inlaid with anti-slip rubber pads to ensure that the anti-pressure protection frame is stably placed on the operating table and will not move easily. At the same time, the width of the anti-pressure protection frame is adjustable, making it suitable for patients of different ages.

[0018] 2. The guide plate and the adjustment plate of this utility model are slidably connected by two adjusting spring plates. The two adjusting spring plates apply outward pressure from inside the adjustment plate, increasing the frictional resistance between the adjustment plate and the guide plate, ensuring that the protective mask and the adjustment plate will not collapse downward when the anti-pressure protection frame is in use, thus ensuring the safety of the patient.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a facial pressure-resistant protective frame for anterior cervical surgery includes a protective mask 2. Adjustable plates 1 are slidably mounted on both sides of the protective mask 2. Guide plates 4 are inserted into the bottom of each side of the adjustable plate 1. Adjustable grooves 10 for inserting the guide plates 4 are provided in the bottom of the adjustable plate 1. Support legs 5 are fixed to the bottom of the guide plates 4. The middle portion of the support legs 5 protrudes upward in a V-shape. Anti-slip rubber pads 6 are embedded in the bottom surfaces of both ends of the support legs 5. After contacting the operating table, the support legs 5 and the operating table form a triangular structure. The anti-slip rubber pads 6 increase the friction between the support legs 5 and the operating table, ensuring that the support legs 5 will not easily slip without human intervention, thus ensuring the stability of the pressure-resistant protective frame during surgery.

[0027] Two symmetrically positioned adjusting spring plates 11 are fixed to the top of the guide plate 4. The width of the adjusting spring plate 11 is one-third of the width of the guide plate 4. Multiple limiting grooves 12 are provided on the inner side of the adjusting slide 10. The limiting grooves 12 are arc-shaped. The middle part of the adjusting spring plate 11 protrudes arc-shaped towards the inside of the adjusting slide 10. The arc-shaped protrusion of the adjusting spring plate 11 is slidably engaged with the inner side of the limiting groove 12. The arc-shaped protrusion of the middle part of the adjusting spring plate 11 ensures that when the guide plate 4 slides inside the adjusting slide 10, the two adjusting spring plates 11 can bend and move closer to each other when the adjusting spring plate 11 is pressed against the limiting groove 12, so that the adjusting spring plate 11 can smoothly leave the limiting groove 12, thereby ensuring that the height of the adjusting plate 1 can be smoothly changed.

[0028] The protective face shield 2 has two symmetrically distributed adjustment holes 7 on both sides. The top of the adjustment plate 1 is curved at a 90-degree angle, and two symmetrically positioned adjustment rods 8 are fixed to the top end face of the adjustment plate 1. The adjustment rods 8 are slidably inserted into the inner side of the adjustment hole 7, and the outer side of the adjustment rods 8 is covered with rubber sleeves 9. By pulling the adjustment rods 8 and the rubber sleeves 9 to slide inside the adjustment hole 7, the distance between the adjustment plate 1, the guide plate 4, the support bracket 5 and the protective face shield 2 is changed, thereby changing the width of the pressure relief frame and ensuring that the pressure relief frame is suitable for patients of different ages and head widths.

[0029] The rubber sleeve 9 is made of rubber, and the thickness of the rubber sleeve 9 is 1.5 times the distance between the outer surface of the adjusting rod 8 and the inner wall of the adjusting hole 7. When the adjusting rod 8 is installed inside the adjusting hole 7, the rubber sleeve 9 is compressed between the adjusting hole 7 and the adjusting rod 8. The compressed rubber sleeve 9 increases the frictional resistance between the adjusting rod 8 and the adjusting hole 7, ensuring that the distance between the adjusting plate 1 and the protective mask 2 will not change without human intervention.

[0030] The guide plate 4 features carefully spaced through holes 13, specifically designed for endotracheal intubation and other critical medical procedures. In practical use, these holes provide convenient access to various necessary medical lines, such as ventilator supply tubing, leads for patient vital sign monitoring equipment, and any auxiliary treatment lines that may require temporary connection or adjustment. This ensures smooth and efficient operation of the medical process, which is crucial for maintaining stable patient vital signs and optimal treatment outcomes.

[0031] Furthermore, the layout of the through-hole 13 on the guide plate 4 has been carefully considered, taking into full account various scenarios and needs that may arise in medical practice. The through-hole effectively avoids mutual interference and unnecessary entanglement between pipes, which not only greatly reduces the risk of operational errors caused by pipe clutter but also significantly improves the cleanliness of the medical environment and the overall safety of the operation. In addition, this design helps medical staff quickly identify and connect to the correct pipes, further shortening response time in emergency situations and buying valuable treatment time for patients.

[0032] Working principle: First, have the patient lie on the operating table, then place the protective face shield 2 above the patient's face. Adjust the distance between the two support legs 5 according to the width of the patient's head. During adjustment, simply pull the two adjustment plates 1 to both sides of the protective face shield 2 so that the adjustment rod 8 and the rubber sleeve 9 slide out from the adjustment hole 7. After the distance between the two support legs 5 is adjusted, release the adjustment plates 1. At this time, because the rubber sleeve 9 is compressed between the adjustment hole 7 and the adjustment rod 8, it can be ensured that the adjustment rod 8 will not slide inside the adjustment hole 7.

[0033] Next, adjust the height of the protective mask 2 according to the patient's head height. Once the protective mask 2 is adjusted to the desired height, simply press or pull the guide plate 4 towards the adjusting plate 1. At this time, the guide plate 4 slides in the adjusting groove 10. As the guide plate 4 slides, it drives two adjusting spring plates 11 to move simultaneously. The adjusting spring plates 11 slide and press against the inner wall of the limiting groove 12, causing the two adjusting spring plates 11 to bend towards the middle of the guide plate 4 and move closer to each other. This allows the adjusting spring plates 11 to disengage from the inner side of the limiting groove 12 and enter the next limiting groove 12, until the guide plate 4 is fully adjusted. The adjusting spring plate 11 is engaged inside the new limiting groove 12. At this time, the adjusting spring plate 11 applies outward pressure to the inside of the adjusting plate 1. The adjusting spring plate 11 increases the frictional resistance between the adjusting plate 1 and the guide plate 4, thereby ensuring that the adjusting plate 1 will not fall under the action of gravity. Finally, the two support legs 5 are placed on both sides of the patient's head. The anti-pressure protection frame can be adjusted according to the height and width of the patient's head, so that the anti-pressure protection frame is suitable for different patients and provides a good protection effect for the patient's head and face. During the operation, the patient's face will not be compressed, reducing the risk of facial pressure injury during anterior cervical surgery.

[0034] The above-mentioned structures are commonly used in the following specific medical procedures to optimize surgical procedures and ensure patient safety:

[0035] (1) When performing thoracic surgery, the patient needs to be placed in a lateral decubitus position. At this time, the anti-pressure protection structure can effectively support and protect the patient's jaw and face, making it easier for the anesthesiologist and surgical team to observe the intubation situation, while ensuring the patient's comfort and safety during the operation.

[0036] (2) For surgeries involving the upper limbs and above the chest, disinfection is crucial. This structure prevents disinfectant from accidentally splashing onto the patient's face during spraying, which is especially important for patients who remain conscious after receiving nerve block anesthesia. For example, if a patient's eyes are accidentally splashed with disinfectant during disinfection, causing great discomfort, this precaution is particularly critical.

[0037] (3) During shoulder arthroscopy, the joint cavity will be rinsed with water during the operation. The protective structure can effectively prevent the water from seeping into the patient's face and jaw, thereby preventing the patient from experiencing hypothermia due to rapid loss of body temperature. This is crucial for surgical safety and postoperative recovery.

[0038] (4) This structure also facilitates the anesthesiologist to effectively manage the patient's maxillofacial region during the operation, ensuring that the exit of the endotracheal tube does not compress the patient's cheek, thereby avoiding secondary damage that may be caused by prolonged compression and improving the overall safety of the operation.

[0039] (5) By adopting the pressure-resistant protective frame, the need to apply a film to protect the eyes separately can be avoided. This way, when the film is removed after the operation, the extra stimulation to the patient's face and possible secondary damage can be reduced, making the whole operation process more humane and safe.

[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
