[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 ,

[0026] A protective structure with drainage tube for post-operative spinal surgery includes two wrapping shells 1. Each wrapping shell 1 has two layers: an outer layer of foam dressing 101 and an inner layer of rubber pad 102. The two wrapping shells 1 are movably connected and fixed by buckles 2. One rubber pad 102 has two anti-dislocation teeth 5 on its top, and the other rubber pad 102 has a groove that matches it. On the mating end faces of the two rubber pads 102, there are two soft pads 6, two springs 8, and two moving shafts 7. The moving shafts 7 pass through the springs 8 and are installed on the back of the soft pads 6. Clamping devices 4 are provided at both ends of the wrapping shell 1 for clamping the protective tube 3.

[0027] In this example, the buckle 2 is installed on the opposite end face of the hinge and in the middle position. The foam dressing 101 is fixedly connected to the outer layer of the rubber pad 102. The mating surfaces of the two rubber pads 102 are provided with grooves that cooperate with the drainage tube and the drainage tube connector. The grooves on the rubber pads 102 that cooperate with the drainage tube pass through both ends of the rubber pads 102.

[0028] It should be noted that the buckle 2 is installed on the opposite end face of the hinge and is positioned in the middle to ensure that the wrapping shell 1 can be effectively fixed when closed. The foam dressing 101 is fixedly connected to the outer layer of the rubber pad 102 to provide protection and cushioning, reduce the pressure of hard objects on the drainage tube and the patient's skin, thereby improving comfort and safety.

[0029] In this example, two limiting grooves are provided on the mating surfaces of the two rubber pads 102. The two limiting grooves are located at the left and right ends of the rubber pads 102 and on the left and right sides of the drainage tube connector. Two anti-misalignment racks 5 are installed on the mating surface of one rubber pad 102, and the two anti-misalignment racks 5 are located at the front and rear ends of the groove that mates with the drainage tube on the rubber pad 102. The mating surface of the other rubber pad 102 is provided with a groove that mates with it.

[0030] It should be noted that a groove is also provided on the mating surface of the other rubber pad 102 to cooperate with the anti-misalignment rack 5, so as to ensure that the anti-misalignment rack 5 can be accurately fitted and fixed together, further enhancing the stability and reliability between the two rubber pads 102.

[0031] In this example, the limiting grooves of the mating surfaces of the two rubber pads 102 are provided with semi-circular sliding grooves that cooperate with the soft pad 6, the moving shaft 7 and the spring 8. The soft pad 6 is in the shape of a semi-circular ring, and the moving shaft 7 is in the shape of a T. The rubber pad 102 is provided with a T-shaped hole that cooperates with the moving shaft 7. The small diameter end of the moving shaft 7 is fixedly installed on the back of the soft pad 6. One end of the spring 8 is connected to the back of the soft pad 6 and the other end is connected to the rubber pad 102.

[0032] It should be noted that the movable shaft 7 has a T-shaped structure. This design facilitates installation and secure fit, while allowing for a certain range of movement and adjustment. The rubber pad 102 is provided with T-shaped holes that match the movable shaft 7, ensuring that the movable shaft 7 can be securely embedded and move flexibly in the groove.

[0033] In this example, the clamping device 4 consists of a fixed tube 401, an arc-shaped anti-slip pad 402, a clamping pad 403, a rotating bearing 404, and a screw 405. The fixed tube 401 is fixedly installed at both ends of the casing 1. The arc-shaped anti-slip pad 402 is installed inside the fixed tube 401. The rotating bearing 404 is installed on the clamping pad 403, and the clamping pad 403 is installed inside the fixed tube 401. The screw 405 passes through the fixed tube 401, and the bottom of the screw 405 is fixedly connected to the rotating bearing 404.

[0034] It should be noted that the fixing tube 401 is fixedly installed at both ends of the outer casing 1, serving to support and fix the overall structure of the device. The clamping pad 403 is installed inside the fixing tube 401 and cooperates with the arc-shaped anti-slip pad 402 to clamp the drainage tube or protective tube 3, ensuring that it is stably fixed throughout the entire use process and will not loosen or shift.

[0035] In this example, two clamping devices 4 are symmetrically installed at the left and right ends of the rubber pad 102, and both clamping devices 4 are installed on the rubber pad 102 through sterile velvet. The arc-shaped anti-slip pad 402 is fixedly installed at the bottom end inside the fixing tube 401. The screw 405 passes through the top of the fixing tube 401, and the top of the fixing tube 401 is provided with a threaded through hole that matches it. The bottom of the screw 405 is fixedly and rotatably engaged with the rotating bearing 404, and the rotating bearing 404 is fixedly installed at the middle position of the top of the clamping pad 403.

[0036] It should be noted that the clamping device 4 is connected to the rubber pad 102 via sterile velvet. This design not only ensures a firm installation but also enhances the hygienic performance of the device and prevents secondary infection of the patient. The top of the fixing tube 401 is designed with a threaded through hole, and the screw 405 passes through the fixing tube 401 from the top and fits tightly with the threaded through hole. The tightness of the clamping device 4 can be precisely adjusted by rotating the screw 405.

[0037] In summary: When using this device, first, fix and snap the two protective tubes 3 inside the clamping device 4. Then, open the outer casing 1, pass both ends of the drainage tube through the protective tubes 3 and connect them. Next, snap the drainage tube and connector into the groove of the rubber pad 102, and bend both ends of the drainage tube, snapping them into the limiting grooves at the left and right ends of the rubber pad 102. A suitable displacement is reserved at the bend to accommodate the expansion and contraction of the drainage tube when it is pulled. When the length of the drainage tube is insufficient, the bend will be stretched, ensuring the effective use of the drainage tube. Furthermore, when the drainage tube is not stretched, the soft pad 6, the moving shaft 7, and the spring 8 work together to enhance the friction between the drainage tube and the limiting groove, thereby increasing the resistance when the drainage tube is pulled. This design, based on the bend of the drainage tube, further prevents the drainage tube from detaching from the connector due to pulling. Finally, close the outer casing 1, snap the anti-misalignment rack 5 into the groove, and tighten the buckle 2. Because of the precise fit between the anti-misalignment rack 5 and the groove, the two rubber pads 102 are kept relatively fixed in multiple horizontal directions, which effectively prevents the drainage tube and connector from falling off, and ensures the stability and safety of the entire drainage process.

[0038] Beneficial effects:

[0039] This post-operative spinal surgery treatment utilizes a protective structure with a drainage tube. Through the design of the clamping device and protective tube, the drainage tube is first passed through the protective tube, which is then installed inside the clamping device. Rotating the screw moves the clamping pad downwards, firmly clamping both the protective tube and the drainage tube. This dual protection of the protective tube and clamping device prevents the drainage tube from bending or being compressed. The encapsulation shell design, with two rubber pads and foam dressing, completely covers the drainage tube and its connector, effectively preventing discomfort, pain, and even skin breakdown caused by pressure on the rigid connector. Furthermore, the anti-dislocation toothed rack and groove, along with the snap-fit ​​mechanism, ensure the drainage tube and connector are securely fixed within the limiting groove and slot, preventing detachment and ensuring a safe and smooth drainage process.
