Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cardiac surgical supplies technology, and in particular to an improved chest strap. Background Technology
[0002] Cardiac surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on surgical treatment of the heart and major blood vessels. A cardiac surgery chest brace is a support device specifically designed for patients after cardiac surgery. It is usually made of soft materials, such as elastic fabrics or soft adhesives, to provide appropriate support and pressure to help patients reduce pain, stabilize the chest, and promote recovery.
[0003] A search revealed that utility model patent number "CN212650988U" provides "an improved cardiac surgical chest band, comprising a chest band body, wherein a bristle layer is sutured to the inner side of the left end of the chest band body, and a round hair layer is sutured to the outer side of the right end of the chest band body, with the bristle layer and the round hair layer being positioned to match each other; and a thread tube passing through and fixing the bottom of the right end of the chest band body is provided with four such thread tubes. This utility model, by providing a thread tube passing through and fixing the right end of the chest band body, allows the cardiac surgical chest band to remove any sutures present at the postoperative chest wound during use." The system separates and secures various tubing by passing the tubing through a fixed structure, effectively protecting the chest wound and properly securing the tubing to prevent disarray and unplanned dislodgement, thus increasing patient comfort and meeting usage requirements. However, the chest strap is secured only by a rounded layer on one side of the strap body and a bristled layer on the other. In actual use, adequate support and pressure are needed after fixation; relying solely on adhesive bonding results in poor fixation, making the strap prone to opening and causing fixation failure. Furthermore, the insertion holes for the tubing are set at the same height, making it impossible to insert the tubing into holes when the tubing is not at the same height, thus limiting its applicability.
[0004] Therefore, we provide an improved chest strap. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an improved chest strap to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an improved chest band, comprising a main band, side bands, a fixing band, and a connecting band. The lower ends of the main band are connected to side bands, and a padding band is sandwiched and pasted between the two sets of side bands. The side bands, padding bands, and main band together form a tube groove. A protective pad is placed directly above the padding band. A fixing band is sewn to one end of the main band, and a connecting band is sewn to the other end of the main band.
[0007] Preferably, the side strap consists of two sets of straps, with one end of each set of straps sewn together and the other end of each set of straps in an open state.
[0008] Preferably, the upper and lower sides of one end of the belt body located on the upper side are provided with a first type of hook and loop fastener, and the upper side of one end of the belt body located on the lower side is provided with a second type of hook and loop fastener.
[0009] Preferably, the upper surface of the pad has hook-and-loop fasteners on both sides, and the hook-and-loop fasteners are attached to the loop fasteners. The lower surface of the pad has hook-and-loop fasteners on both sides, and the hook-and-loop fasteners are attached to the loop fasteners.
[0010] Preferably, the lower surface of the pad is provided with hook and loop fasteners on both sides, and the hook and loop fasteners on both sides are also attached to the loop fasteners on both sides.
[0011] Preferably, the fixing strap includes a main fixing strap and a secondary fixing strap. The main fixing strap is sewn to the upper surface of one end of the main strap. The upper surface of the main fixing strap is provided with a three-layer hook and loop fastener. The lower surface of one end of the main strap is sewn to the secondary fixing strap. The upper surface of the secondary fixing strap is fixedly installed with three rows of hanging rings.
[0012] Preferably, the connecting strap includes a main connecting strap and a secondary connecting strap. The upper surface of the other end of the main strap is sewn with the main connecting strap. The lower surface of the main connecting strap is provided with four hook-and-loop fasteners. The lower surface of the other end of the main strap is sewn with the secondary connecting strap. The lower surface of the secondary connecting strap is fixedly installed with three sets of hooks.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. This improved chest band, through the design of side straps, pads, and a protective pad, allows the catheter to be placed at any position in the insertion groove during catheter insertion. The insertion groove is a through groove, which is not limited by the position of the catheter, thus enhancing its applicability. The pad is placed on the lower side of the catheter, making direct contact with the skin, reducing the foreign body sensation caused by the catheter to the patient. In addition, the protective pad covers the upper end of the catheter, providing protection for the catheter.
[0015] 2. By setting up the fixing strap and connecting strap, the hook and the hanging ring are fixed together. The three hook and hook sides of the hook and hook sides are glued and fixed together. The double fixing method has a better fixing effect. The hook and the hanging ring are relatively fixed and are not easy to be pried open. Attached Figure Description
