Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hospital gowns, and in particular to a hospital gown for patients undergoing neck radiotherapy. Background Technology

[0002] Radiation dermatitis is one of the most common complications in cancer radiotherapy patients and a challenging aspect of cancer treatment. Symptoms mainly include erythema, dry peeling, and wet peeling, and are commonly seen in patients with breast cancer and head and neck tumors. Early skin reactions occur 2-4 weeks after the start of radiotherapy, affecting not only the patient's appearance and quality of life, but in severe cases, leading to radiotherapy interruption, prolonged treatment time, and ultimately impacting treatment outcomes and overall quality of life. Currently, relevant international guidelines on radiation dermatitis include those from the Multinational Society for Supportive Cancer Care (MASCC), the British Columbia Cancer Centre (BCCA), the Oncology Nursing Forum (ONS), and the Society of Radiation Therapy (SCR) guidelines. However, currently, ordinary hospital gowns are used for patients, and no special gowns specifically designed for radiation dermatitis patients are produced. Since radiation dermatitis in head and neck tumor patients often occurs in the neck, ordinary hospital gowns can exacerbate wound infection, and friction from the collar can cause skin damage, hindering wound healing. Neck infections increase the patient's financial burden, prolong hospital stays, and reduce the patient's overall experience. Therefore, the use of hospital gowns specifically designed for neck radiotherapy patients has reached a consensus.

[0003] In clinical practice, a large collar and auxiliary openings are often used to effectively prevent skin damage caused by collar friction, which could worsen infection and protect the skin in the radiation field. The device also has a first and second fixing buckle, which can expose the skin of the arms and back as needed, thus improving its practicality.

[0004] However, when patients move around in bed, such as turning over, stretching, or eating, the hospital gown is prone to slipping, and the collar may slip with the gown and touch the neck. At this time, it is necessary to manually pull down the gown, which is troublesome and increases the risk of skin damage on the neck and infection. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a hospital gown for patients undergoing neck radiotherapy to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a hospital gown for patients undergoing cervical radiotherapy, in order to solve the problem mentioned above that when patients move around in bed, such as turning over, stretching, or eating, the gown is prone to slipping, and the collar may slip with the gown and touch the neck. At this time, it is necessary to manually pull down the gown, which is cumbersome and increases the risk of skin damage and infection.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a patient gown for neck radiotherapy patients, comprising a gown body, the upper end of which is provided with a wide collar, and the middle part of the front and rear ends of the wide collar is respectively sewn with a second fixing fabric and a first fixing fabric. The gown body, the wide collar, the second fixing fabric and the first fixing fabric are all made of pure cotton. The sides of the second fixing fabric and the first fixing fabric away from the wide collar are respectively fixed with a hook and loop fastener and a hook and loop fastener. After the end of the first fixing fabric away from the wide collar is wrapped around the patient's armpit, the hook and loop fastener are glued together.

[0007] The main body of the hospital gown is equipped with convenient components.

[0008] Preferably, a sleeve is fixedly provided at the lower end of the main body of the hospital gown, and a binding rope is slidably provided inside the sleeve, with the two ends of the binding rope extending out of the sleeve intertwined and knotted together.

[0009] Preferably, sleeves are sewn on both sides of the main body of the hospital gown, and several fixing buttons are installed in the middle of the front end of the main body of the hospital gown.

[0010] Preferably, pockets are sewn on both sides of the front end of the main body of the hospital gown.

[0011] Preferably, the convenient component includes an opening on the main body of the hospital gown, the opening being located at the infusion port position, a connecting fabric one sewn onto the main body of the hospital gown at the lower end of the opening, a protective cover fixedly connected to the connecting fabric one, the protective cover covering the opening, a connecting fabric two fixedly connected to the other end of the protective cover, and hook and loop fasteners two fixedly provided on the sides of the connecting fabric two and the main body of the hospital gown respectively, the hook and loop fasteners two being bonded to each other.

[0012] Preferably, the side of the connecting fabric two away from the hook and loop fastener side two is provided with a handle fabric.

[0013] Preferably, the protective cover is made of transparent PC material.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. When using this neck radiotherapy patient gown, after adjusting the distance between the hook side of the Velcro and the loop side of the Velcro, stick the hook side and the loop side of the Velcro together to fix the wide collar in place. This solves the problem that existing neck radiotherapy patient gowns tend to slip when the patient moves in bed, such as turning over, stretching, or eating. The wide collar may slip with the gown and touch the neck, requiring manual pulling down of the gown, which is cumbersome and increases the risk of neck skin damage and infection.

[0016] 2. In the initial state, the hook side and the loop side of the Velcro are in an adhesive state, thus avoiding the problem that the fixing fabric 1 may be pressed behind the main body of the gown after it is put on, making it difficult to remove. Moreover, the adhesive state of the hook side and the loop side of the Velcro does not affect the wearing of the main body of the gown. In addition, since the fixing distance between the fixing fabric 2 and the fixing fabric 1 is adjustable, it can be used for patients of different body types, allowing the wide collar to be fixed at the shoulders of patients of different body types, thus improving the practicality and applicability of the gown for patients undergoing neck radiotherapy.

[0017] 3. By tying the two ends of the sleeve together with the rope, the stability of the hospital gown can be further enhanced, preventing the gown from slipping when the patient moves in bed, such as turning over, stretching, or eating, thus reducing the risk of the wide collar slipping and touching the neck.

[0018] 4. When medical staff need to use the infusion port to inject medication, pull up the connecting cloth two, which will cause the hook side of the Velcro two and the loose side of the Velcro two to separate. Then, flip the protective cover down to expose the infusion port, and then the infusion port can be used to inject medication. The operation is simple and quick, and it can protect the patient's privacy and reduce the patient's psychological burden when receiving medication.

[0019] 5. Because the protective cover is arched and made of transparent PC material, it is easy to observe the condition of the infusion port and avoid the skin at the infusion port from rubbing against the main body of the gown, which could cause skin damage and infection. In addition, the infusion port can accumulate inside the main body of the gown, causing discomfort to the patient.

[0020] 6. By setting up fixed cloth one and fixed cloth two, the problem of the patient gown slipping and causing the protective cover to shift is also avoided to a certain extent when the patient moves in bed, such as turning over, stretching, eating, etc., so that the skin at the infusion port will not rub against the main body of the patient gown.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-4 The illustrated patient gown for neck radiotherapy includes a main body 1. The upper end of the main body 1 has a wide collar 4. The front and rear ends of the wide collar 4 are respectively sewn with fixing fabric 2 6 and fixing fabric 1 5. The main body 1, the wide collar 4, the fixing fabric 2 6 and fixing fabric 1 5 are all made of pure cotton. The sides of the fixing fabric 2 6 and fixing fabric 1 5 away from the wide collar 4 are respectively fixed with hook and loop fastener 7 and hook and loop fastener 8. After the fixing fabric 1 5 away from the wide collar 4 is wrapped around the patient's armpit, the hook and loop fastener 1 8 and hook and loop fastener 7 are glued together.

[0028] When using this neck radiotherapy patient gown, after the main body 1 of the gown is put on, since the hook side 8 and the loop side 7 of the hook and loop are initially glued together, the hook side 8 and the loop side 7 can be separated directly. After adjusting the distance between the hook side 8 and the loop side 7, the hook side 8 and the loop side 7 can be glued together again, so that the wide collar 4 can be fixed. This solves the problem that when using existing neck radiotherapy patient gowns, the gown is prone to slipping when the patient moves in bed, such as turning over, stretching, or eating. The wide collar 4 may slip with the gown and touch the neck. At this time, the gown needs to be pulled down manually, which is troublesome and increases the risk of neck skin damage and infection.

[0029] In addition, the above technical means achieve the following benefits: First, in the initial state, the hook side 8 and the loop side 7 of the hook and loop fasteners are in an adhesive state, thus avoiding the problem that the fixing cloth 5 may be pressed behind the main body of the gown 1 after it is put on, making it difficult to pull out. Moreover, the adhesive state of the hook side 8 and the loop side 7 of the hook and loop fasteners does not affect the wearing of the main body of the gown 1. Second, since the fixing distance between the fixing cloth 2 6 and the fixing cloth 5 is adjustable, it can be used for patients of different body types, allowing the wide collar 4 to be fixed at the shoulders of patients of different body types, thereby improving the practicality and applicability of the gown for patients undergoing cervical radiotherapy.

[0030] Furthermore, a sleeve 9 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the main body 1 of the hospital gown, and a tie 10 is slidably installed inside the sleeve 9. In addition, the two ends of the tie 10 that extend out of the sleeve 9 are intertwined and knotted together, which can further enhance the stability of the hospital gown and prevent the gown from slipping when the patient moves in bed, such as turning over, stretching, or eating, thereby reducing the risk of the wide collar 4 slipping and touching the neck.

[0031] Furthermore, sleeves 2 are sewn on both sides of the main body 1 of the gown, and several fixing buttons 3 are installed in the middle of the front end of the main body 1 of the gown. When medical staff need to use the infusion port to inject drugs, they can unfasten the fixing buttons 3 to inject drugs into the infusion port at the position of the infusion port of the patient.

[0032] Considering that medical staff need to unfasten the fastening buttons 3 one by one, which is inconvenient, and that the skin at the infusion port will rub against the main body of the gown 1, posing a risk of skin damage and infection, and that the infusion port will accumulate inside the main body of the gown 1, causing discomfort to the patient, a convenient component is provided on the main body of the gown 1 of this utility model. The convenient component includes an opening 12 on the main body of the gown 1, which is located at the position of the infusion port. A connecting fabric 13 sewn onto the main body of the gown 1 is provided at the lower end of the opening 12. A protective cover 14 is fixedly connected to the connecting fabric 13, which covers the opening 12. A connecting fabric 2 15 is fixedly connected to the other end of the protective cover 14. A hook and loop fastener 17 and a loop fastener 18 are fixedly provided on the side of the connecting fabric 2 15 that is close to the main body of the gown, respectively. The hook and loop fastener 17 and the loop fastener 18 are glued together.

[0033] Specifically, when medical staff need to use the infusion port to inject medication, they pull up the connecting cloth 15, which causes the hook side 17 and the loop side 18 of the Velcro to detach. Then, the protective cover 14 is flipped down to expose the infusion port, which can then be used to inject medication. The operation is simple and quick, and it can protect the patient's privacy and reduce the patient's psychological burden when getting medication.

[0034] Because the protective cover 14 is arched and made of transparent PC material, it is easy to observe the condition of the infusion port and avoid the skin at the infusion port from rubbing against the main body of the gown 1, which could cause skin damage and infection. In addition, the infusion port can accumulate inside the main body of the gown, causing discomfort to the patient.

[0035] In addition, by setting up fixed cloth 5 and fixed cloth 6, the problem of the patient gown slipping and causing the protective cover 14 to shift is also avoided to a certain extent when the patient moves in bed, such as turning over, stretching, eating, etc., so that the skin at the infusion port will not rub against the main body of the patient gown 1.

[0036] Furthermore, a handle cloth 16 is provided on the side of the connecting cloth 15 away from the hook and loop fastener side 17, which makes it easy to pull up the connecting cloth 15.

[0037] Furthermore, pockets 11 are sewn on both sides of the front end of the main body of the hospital gown 1, which facilitates the placement of items.
