[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 A wound protection device for postoperative use in thoracic surgery also includes a movable component. The movable component includes a groove 4, which is disposed inside the gauze 1. A movable head 6 is disposed on the left side of the groove 4. A movable piece 5 is movably connected inside the movable head 6. An inner plate 7 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the movable piece 5. Multiple sets of adhesive 8 are disposed at the rear end of the inner plate 7. A medicated cloth 9 is movably connected to the rear end of the adhesive 8. A fixed head 10 is movably connected between the movable piece 5 and the groove 4.

[0025] The shape and size of the inside of the groove 4 are compatible with the shape and size of the outside of the movable piece 5, multiple sets of adhesive 8 are arranged at equal intervals, and the position, shape and size of the medicine cloth 9 and the inner plate 7 are compatible.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the gasket 2 is aligned with the outside of the surgical wound after thoracic surgery, and gauze 1 is placed over the wound surface. When dressing needs to be changed, the fixing head 10 is opened and the movable piece 5 is opened at the front end of the groove 4 to facilitate the application of medication to the wound surface. At the same time, multiple sets of adhesive 8 are provided on the inner plate 7 near the wound surface of the movable piece 5 to fix the medicated cloth 9 to the inner plate 7. When the medicated cloth 9 needs to be replaced, it can be directly peeled off at the adhesive 8 and re-covered. The movable piece 5 is then fixed to the groove 4 by the fixing head 10. This reduces the steps of removing and replacing the fixed gauze 1, avoids the greater discomfort caused to the patient by repeated tearing of the tape, and improves the convenience of dressing changes for the protective device.

[0027] A connecting piece 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the gauze 1 and the connecting piece 11 is movably connected to the side of the gauze 1. A cloth 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the adhesive plate 12 and the side of the side 3. The cloth 13 has multiple sets of through holes 14 inside. Fixing sleeves 15 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the front end of the cloth 13. Fixing straps 16 are provided inside the fixing sleeves 15. A connector head 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing straps 16 and the fixing sleeves 15. The cloth 13 is symmetrically distributed about the vertical center line of the gauze 1. The shape and size of the adhesive plate 12 and the connecting piece 11 correspond one-to-one. The through holes 14 are arranged at equal intervals. The fixing straps 16 are elastic.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, gauze 1 is fixed to the wound surface, and then the adhesive plate 12 is aligned with the connecting piece 11 on the side strap 3 to fix the cloth 13 and gauze 1 together. Then, the fixing strap 16 inside the fixing sleeve 15 is tightened until it wraps around the patient's body, and then the connecting head 17 is engaged, so that the wound protection device is fixed to the patient's chest. The multiple sets of through holes 14 increase the breathability of the cloth 13, reducing the stuffiness and discomfort caused by prolonged fixation. The movable connection between the adhesive plate 12 and the connecting piece 11 makes it easier to replace the cloth 13, avoiding the growth of bacteria on the cloth 13 and causing harm to the patient's body.

[0029] The top of the fabric 13 is fixedly connected to a bottom buckle 18. The bottom buckle 18 has an elastic band 19 inside. One end of the elastic band 19 is fixedly connected to a base 20. The top of the base 20 has a plug 21. The left and right sides of the rear end of the gauze 1 are fixedly connected to sockets 22 respectively. The sockets 22 have slots 23 inside.

There is a distance between the sockets 22 and the fabric 13.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, when the gauze 1 is fixed to the patient's chest by the pull cloth 13, the elastic band 19 inside the bottom buckle 18 on the pull cloth 13 can increase the fixation performance. Tighten the elastic band 19, pass it through the patient's shoulder, and align the plug 21 on the base 20 at one end of the elastic band 19 with the insertion ports 22 on the left and right sides of the rear end of the gauze 1. Finally, the plug 21 is engaged by the slot 23 in the insertion port 22, so that the elastic band 19 and the protective device are fixed to the patient's shoulder, which improves the overall stability of the protective device and prevents the device from falling off the chest due to the loosening of the connector 17, making the patient's daily activities more free.

[0031] Working Principle: In use, firstly, align the washer 2 with the external surface of the patient's post-thoracic surgery wound, and cover the wound surface with gauze 1. When dressing needs changing, open the fixing head 10 and open the movable piece 5 at the front end of the groove 4 to facilitate application of medication to the wound surface. Simultaneously, multiple sets of adhesive 8 are provided on the inner plate 7 near the wound surface of the movable piece 5, allowing the medicated cloth 9 to be fixed to the inner plate 7 via the adhesive 8. When changing the medicated cloth 9, simply tear it off at the adhesive 8 and re-cover it. Then, fix the movable piece 5 to the groove 4 via the fixing head 10. This reduces the steps of repeatedly removing and replacing the fixed gauze 1, avoiding significant discomfort to the patient caused by repeated tearing of the tape, and improving the convenience of dressing changes. After fixing the gauze 1 to the wound surface, align the adhesive plate 12 with the connecting piece 11 on the side strap 3 to fix the cloth 13 and gauze 1 together. Finally, tighten the fixing strap 16 inside the fixing sleeve 15 until it completely covers the patient. After the body is in place, the connector 17 is engaged, thus fixing the entire wound protection device to the patient's chest. Multiple through holes 14 increase the breathability of the cloth 13, reducing the stuffiness and discomfort caused by prolonged fixation. The movable connection between the adhesive plate 12 and the connecting piece 11 makes it easier to replace the cloth 13, preventing bacteria from growing on the cloth 13 and causing harm to the patient. When the gauze 1 is fixed to the patient's chest by the cloth 13, the elastic band 19 inside the bottom buckle 18 on the cloth 13 can increase the fixation performance. Tighten the elastic band 19, pass it through the patient's shoulder, and align the plug 21 on the base 20 at one end of the elastic band 19 with the insertion ports 22 on the left and right sides of the rear end of the gauze 1. Finally, the plug 21 engages with the slot 23 in the insertion port 22, so that the elastic band 19 and the entire protection device are fixed to the patient's shoulder, improving the overall stability of the protection device and preventing the device from falling off the chest due to loose connector 17, allowing the patient more freedom of daily activities.
