[0026] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a compression-type hemostatic neck brace for post-thyroid surgery care according to this application includes a compression strap 1, a fixing strap 2, an adjusting buckle 3, a support frame 4, and an anti-slip pad 5. This neck brace is designed to solve the problem of poor hemostasis caused by neck brace displacement during neck movement, thereby providing more effective compression hemostasis for patients after thyroid surgery.

[0028] The compression band 1 is located inside the neck brace, fitting snugly against the patient's neck skin. Its main function is to create a stable contact surface inside the neck brace, applying even pressure to the neck to achieve hemostasis. The two ends of the fixing band 2 are connected to the compression band 1, wrapping around the patient's neck and securing it in an adjustable manner to ensure the neck brace's stability and comfort. An adjustment buckle 3 is located at one end of the fixing band 2, allowing adjustment of its length to accommodate different patient neck sizes and ensure appropriate pressure from the compression band 1. One end of the support frame 4 is connected to the fixing band 2, and the other end to the compression band 1. It primarily supports and stabilizes the overall structure of the neck brace, reducing displacement of the compression band 1 during neck movement. An anti-slip pad 5, made of anti-slip material, is located on the side of the compression band 1 that contacts the patient's skin, increasing friction and further preventing the neck brace from slipping on the neck.

[0029] In practical applications, the compression band 1 can be made of highly elastic and breathable materials, such as medical-grade silicone or sponge, to ensure comfort and breathability. The fixing band 2 is typically made of elastic band or fabric with good extensibility and strength, and its adjustable function is achieved through connections such as buckles or hook and loop fasteners. The adjustment buckle 3 can be designed as a fastener with teeth, allowing for quick and precise length adjustment by aligning the holes on the fixing band 2 with the teeth. The support frame 4 can be made of plastic or metal with a certain degree of flexibility to ensure sufficient support while maintaining a certain degree of freedom of movement. The anti-slip pad 5 can be made of a rough, soft material, such as silicone, soft rubber, or high-friction fabric, to increase friction and improve stability.

[0030] Through the above design, this compression-type hemostatic neck collar can maintain the compression band 1 in close contact with the skin and apply even pressure during the patient's neck movement, effectively preventing the neck collar from shifting position. The combined use of the support frame 4 and the anti-slip pad 5 significantly reduces the possibility of the compression band 1 slipping on the neck, thereby ensuring a continuous and stable hemostatic effect. In addition, the design of the fixing strap 2 and the adjusting buckle 3 allows the neck collar to flexibly adapt to different patients' neck sizes, improving the comfort and universality of use.

[0031] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The present application discloses a compression-type hemostatic neck brace for post-thyroidectomy care, characterized in that the inner surface of the compression band 1 has a multi-layered structure. These layers not only provide better comfort and care for the user but also enhance the functionality and practicality of the neck brace. Specifically, the inner surface of the compression band 1 is provided with a highly absorbent layer 6, which effectively absorbs exudate from the wound, reducing wound moisture. This design significantly reduces the risk of infection caused by wound moisture while improving user comfort. Furthermore, the absorbent layer 6 enhances the friction on the inner side of the neck brace, and together with the anti-slip pad 5, prevents the neck brace from shifting position during user movement, ensuring continuous compression and hemostasis of the wound.

[0032] For example, the absorbent layer 6 can be firmly bonded to the inner surface of the compression band 1 with an adhesive, ensuring a tight bond with the anti-slip pad 5 and other inner layer materials. The absorbent layer 6 can be made of medical-grade non-woven fabric or similar materials, which have good absorbency and breathability, effectively absorbing wound exudate without causing additional irritation or damage to the wound. Through this multi-layered design, the hemostatic neck brace of this application can more effectively meet the nursing needs after thyroid surgery.

[0033] In one embodiment, the fixation strap 2 of a compression-type hemostatic neck brace for post-thyroidectomy care according to this application is made of multi-strand nylon fibers, possessing high elasticity and toughness. This allows the fixation strap 2 to provide stable fixation force under different neck sizes, thereby ensuring that the compression strap 1 does not shift during neck movement. The fixation strap 2 is designed to accommodate the needs of a variety of patients, maintaining reliable fixation regardless of the shape and size of their necks. Furthermore, the multi-strand nylon fiber weave structure gives the fixation strap 2 excellent durability, maintaining good performance even after repeated use and cleaning.

[0034] Specifically, the fixation band 2 achieves high elasticity and toughness through a multi-strand nylon fiber weaving process. This weaving structure not only improves the overall strength of the fixation band 2 but also ensures that it can quickly return to its original shape when stretched or twisted, avoiding permanent deformation. For example, in practical applications, the fixation band 2 can naturally adjust to the patient's neck contour when worn, maintaining a tight and comfortable fit even during strenuous activity. This design not only improves the patient's user experience but also ensures the hemostatic effect of the compression band 1 after surgery.

[0035] Return to reference Figure 1 In one embodiment, the adjustment buckle 3 of a compression-type hemostatic neck brace for post-thyroid surgery care according to this application has multiple adjustment holes 7. These adjustment holes are distributed on the adjustment buckle 3, allowing the user to precisely adjust the length of the fixation strap 2 by selecting different adjustment holes. The length of the fixation strap 2 can be finely adjusted according to the size and shape of the patient's neck, thereby ensuring that the pressure applied to the neck by the compression strap 1 is moderate when worn. This multi-position design not only ensures that the pressure of the compression strap 1 is evenly distributed, but also adapts to the needs of different patients, preventing the neck brace from shifting during neck movement, thereby improving patient comfort and treatment effectiveness.

[0036] Specifically, the adjusting buckle 3 is installed at one end of the fixing strap 2, and the tightness of the fixing strap 2 is adjusted through multiple adjusting holes on the fixing strap 2. When it is necessary to adjust the length of the fixing strap 2, the user can pass the adjusting buckle 3 through different adjusting holes until the desired length is achieved. For example, if the patient's neck is thicker, a larger adjusting hole can be selected; conversely, a smaller adjusting hole can be selected. This design allows the fixing strap 2 to be securely fixed to the patient's neck, ensuring the stability and safety of the neck brace in various body positions and activity states.

[0037] In one embodiment, the adjustment buckle 3 of a compression-type hemostatic neck brace for post-thyroid surgery care according to this application includes a locking buckle 8. This locking buckle 8 securely locks the adjusted fixation strap 2, preventing loosening due to accidental contact and ensuring the stability and hemostatic effect of the neck brace during wear. Furthermore, the locking buckle 8 is designed with a rotating structure, allowing the fixation strap 2 to be locked by rotating it at a certain angle. In the unlocked state, the user can quickly adjust the length of the fixation strap 2, improving convenience and comfort.

[0038] The locking buckle 8 is designed for easy operation and adjustment. Specifically, the locking buckle 8 is located at the front end of the adjusting buckle 3 and can be rotated to control the locking and unlocking of the fixing strap 2. The locking buckle 8 contains a spiral tooth or similar mechanical device. When the locking buckle 8 is rotated to a certain angle, these teeth or devices engage the fixing strap 2, preventing it from slipping. For example, in the unlocked state, the spiral teeth of the locking buckle 8 do not contact the fixing strap 2, allowing the user to freely adjust the length of the fixing strap 2; while in the locked state, the spiral teeth engage the fixing strap 2, fixing it in place. This design ensures both the stability of the neck brace and facilitates quick adjustment and wearing by the user.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, this application discloses an improved support frame 4 design for a compression neck brace used in post-thyroidectomy care. The support frame 4 consists of several slender spring steel wires 9 arranged in a mesh pattern. These spring steel wires 9 are precisely woven and fixed to form a three-dimensional mesh structure, providing uniform support in multiple directions and ensuring the stability of the compression band 1 in various positions of the neck. Specifically, each spring steel wire 9 has sufficient elasticity and toughness to adapt to different neck movements, effectively preventing the compression band 1 from shifting due to neck movement. Furthermore, the mesh-like distribution of spring steel wires 9 not only enhances the overall support effect of the compression band 1 but also ensures the fit of the neck brace in different positions, thereby improving patient comfort and compression effectiveness.

[0040] The design of the support frame 4 makes the compression band 1 more secure and reliable during use. Technically, the spring steel wire 9 in the support frame 4 can be embedded or bonded to the inside or surface of the compression band 1, ensuring it forms an integrated structure with the compression band 1. For example, the spring steel wire 9 can be fixed to the compression band 1 using high-frequency welding or special adhesive, thereby ensuring its stability and reliability under various activity states. This design not only improves the fixation effect of the compression band 1 but also effectively reduces postoperative discomfort for patients, enhancing the overall nursing experience.

[0041] Continue to refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment, one end of the support frame 4 of the compression tourniquet for post-thyroidectomy care is connected to the fixing strap 2 via a swivel joint 10. This design allows the support frame 4 to rotate slightly with the patient's neck movements, thereby reducing friction and displacement of the compression strap 1 on the neck skin and significantly improving wearing comfort and stability. Furthermore, to further enhance this effect, a shock-absorbing pad 11 is provided inside the swivel joint 10. The shock-absorbing pad 11 absorbs the impact force generated during neck movements, reducing displacement of the compression strap 1 due to movement, ensuring effective tourniquet compression, and thus improving hemostasis.

[0042] Specifically, one end of the support frame 4 is connected to the fixing band 2 via a rotary joint 10, allowing the support frame 4 to rotate freely within a certain range. For example, the rotary joint 10 can be a pivot structure, with one end fixed to the fixing band 2 and the other end connected to the support frame 4. A shock-absorbing pad 11 is installed inside the rotary joint 10, specifically as a flexible buffer layer located between the rotating and fixed parts of the rotary joint 10. When the patient's neck moves, the shock-absorbing pad 11 can absorb some of the impact force, reducing the influence of the support frame 4 on the compression band 1 and ensuring the stability and effectiveness of the compression band 1.

[0043] In one embodiment, the anti-slip pad 5 of a compression neck brace for post-thyroidectomy care according to this application has a wavy texture 12 on its surface. This wavy texture 12 design increases the friction between the anti-slip pad 5 and the patient's neck skin, thereby effectively preventing the neck brace from shifting during neck movement. The height and density of the wavy texture 12 can be customized according to the patient's specific condition and needs to adapt to the condition of different patients' neck skin and the required compression pressure, ensuring the neck brace remains stable throughout use.

[0044] In one embodiment, the anti-slip pad 5 is fixed to the inside of the compression band 1, directly contacting the patient's neck. The wavy texture 12 consists of multiple continuous crests and troughs, forming a shape similar to ocean waves. The spacing and height between these crests and troughs can be adjusted as needed to provide different levels of friction. For example, for patients with sensitive skin or requiring mild pressure, a low-density and low-height wavy texture 12 can be selected; while for patients requiring more stability and greater pressure, a high-density and high-height wavy texture 12 can be selected. In practice, the wavy texture 12 can be directly processed onto the anti-slip pad 5 material through injection molding, or a specific shape of texture can be pressed onto the surface of the anti-slip pad 5 through post-processing.

[0045] In one embodiment, the connection between the anti-slip pad 5 and the compression band 1 of the compression neck brace for post-thyroid surgery care according to this application is detachable, specifically achieved through snaps or Velcro 13. This design allows users to easily clean and replace the anti-slip pad 5, thereby effectively extending the service life of the neck brace. Simultaneously, this detachable connection ensures that the anti-slip performance of the anti-slip pad 5 remains consistent, improving the reliability of the neck brace.

[0046] Specifically, the anti-slip pad 5 is fixed to the inside of the compression band 1, directly contacting the user's skin to prevent the neck brace from slipping during use. Snap buttons or Velcro 13 serve as connectors, allowing for flexible fixation of the anti-slip pad 5 to the compression band 1. Snap buttons can be embedded into one side of the anti-slip pad 5, with corresponding snap positions on the inside of the compression band 1, enabling quick connection and separation. Velcro 13 uses a layer of rough or barbed material adhered to one side of the anti-slip pad 5, with a corresponding layer of the opposite material on the inside of the compression band 1, achieving convenient adhesion and separation. This detachable design allows users to easily replace the anti-slip pad 5 as needed, ensuring cleanliness and comfort over long-term use. For example, when cleaning the anti-slip pad 5, the user simply needs to unfasten the snap buttons or peel off the Velcro 13, making the process simple.

[0047] In actual operation, when using this device, the compression band 1 is first tightly fitted to the patient's neck skin to ensure even pressure is applied for hemostasis. Simultaneously, the two ends of the fixing band 2 are connected to the compression band 1 and used to wrap around the patient's neck. The length of the fixing band 2 is adjusted using the adjusting buckle 3, ensuring the neck brace is securely fixed to the patient's neck and adapts to different neck sizes. The adjusting buckle 3 plays a crucial role in this process; its ingenious design allows for easy and precise adjustment of the tightness of the fixing band 2, ensuring that the pressure provided by the compression band 1 is neither too tight, causing patient discomfort, nor too loose, affecting hemostasis. Furthermore, the support frame 4 is also indispensable; it connects the fixing band 2 and the compression band 1, providing additional support and effectively stabilizing the overall structure of the neck brace, reducing potential displacement of the compression band 1 during neck movement. Finally, the anti-slip pad 5, located on the contact surface between the compression band 1 and the patient's skin, uses a high-friction material, further increasing the stability of the neck brace and reducing discomfort or poor hemostasis caused by slippage between the skin and the neck brace. The entire device, through the efficient collaboration of its various components, ensures its excellent function in post-thyroid surgery care, helping patients recover quickly.

[0048] The exemplary systems and methods of the present invention have been specifically shown and described with reference to the above embodiments, which are merely examples of the best mode for implementing the systems and methods. Those skilled in the art will understand that various changes can be made to the embodiments of the systems and methods described herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims when implementing the systems and / or methods.
