Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical care products technology, and in particular to a warm shawl with a pressure sensor that can be worn and removed. Background Technology
[0002] In intensive care settings, patients' need for warmth is closely linked to the accuracy and convenience of medical monitoring. Critically ill patients are typically extremely weak, with poor resistance and thermoregulation. While ward environments offer some temperature control, it's still difficult to fully meet the warmth needs of critically ill patients. For example, prolonged bed rest often exposes areas like the shoulders to cold, and these areas have relatively poor blood circulation, making patients more sensitive to cold. Therefore, warmth becomes a crucial requirement in intensive care.
[0003] Medical monitoring equipment plays a crucial role in timely monitoring of changes in the condition of critically ill patients. Among these, pressure sensors are indispensable for invasive blood pressure monitoring and central venous pressure measurement. However, current usage presents several problems. According to medical standards, pressure sensors should generally be placed at the same level as the heart's zero-point on the body surface, i.e., at the 4th intercostal space along the mid-axillary line. However, due to treatment needs, critically ill patients must be turned regularly, which causes changes in the sensor's position, affecting the accuracy of monitoring values and hindering reliable medical decision-making. Regarding warmth, common methods such as a single warm shawl or a cloth undershirt have many drawbacks. Commercially available warm shawls are not designed with the special needs of critically ill patients in mind; the process of putting on and taking off is complicated, extremely inconvenient for patients with limited mobility, and may even cause secondary injury during the process. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a removable, pressure-sensor-equipped warm shawl. It solves the problems of existing warm clothing failing to simultaneously meet the needs of warmth and securing medical monitoring equipment, as well as the inconvenience of putting on and taking off the shawl, thus providing a more comfortable, convenient, and precise nursing experience for critically ill patients.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A wearable and detachable thermal shawl with a pressure sensor includes a body, sleeves, and a back panel. The back panel is attached to the body and wraps around the user's back to cover the body. The sleeves have a structure for holding the pressure sensor. Both the sleeves and the back panel have two sleeves, symmetrically located on both sides of the body. The back panel has a connector that connects the two back panels together. The body, sleeves, and back panel together form a thermal garment for the user to wear.
[0007] Preferably, the placement structure is a placement bag, which is located on the sleeve. The placement bag is provided with a connector for opening and closing. Caregivers can place the pressure sensor in the placement bag in advance before the patient puts on the shawl, and then put the shawl on the patient. The operation process is simple and convenient. The connector on the placement bag, such as a zipper or Velcro, makes it very convenient to place and remove the pressure sensor.
[0008] Preferably, the sleeve is provided with an elastic band for securing the pressure sensor within a storage bag. The elastic band within the storage bag further enhances the securing effect on the pressure sensor. Because the elastic band is elastic, it can accommodate pressure sensors of different sizes. Regardless of the sensor's size, it can be tightly secured within the storage bag, effectively preventing the sensor from shifting, shaking, or falling off during patient movement.
[0009] Preferably, the garment body has a shoulder opening at the shoulder position, and the garment body has a second connector to close the shoulder opening. The design of the shoulder opening and the second connector greatly facilitates the putting on and taking off of the warm shawl. The shoulder opening design allows caregivers to easily put on or take off the shawl for the patient by opening and closing the second connector, reducing the patient's body movement during the putting on and taking off process, reducing the patient's discomfort and risk of injury. At the same time, the second connector can be a tie, button, or Velcro assembly, etc.
[0010] Preferably, the warm shawl is composed of an outer fabric, a filling layer, and an inner fabric. The outer fabric is waterproof and breathable, the filling layer is a warming material, and the inner fabric is skin-friendly. The waterproof and breathable outer layer effectively blocks external moisture and water, preventing the patient from getting wet from sweat or external water stains, keeping the body dry, while ensuring internal air circulation to prevent the patient from catching a cold or experiencing other discomfort due to excessive sweating caused by stuffiness. The filling layer uses down or warming fibers with excellent insulation properties, such as hollow polyester fiber, which can store a large amount of still air, reduce heat loss, provide good warmth for the patient, help maintain the patient's stable body temperature, and promote physical recovery. The skin-friendly cotton material of the inner layer is soft in texture, has low skin irritation, improves the patient's wearing comfort, and will not cause skin allergies or discomfort even after prolonged wear, thus enhancing the patient's user experience.
[0011] Preferably, the garment features a deep V-shaped neckline. The deep V-shaped neckline increases the opening range of the neckline, allowing caregivers to more easily remove the shawl from the patient's head, avoiding pressure on the patient's head or neck due to a neckline that is too small. This is especially suitable for patients with limited head or neck movement. For special patients such as those with tracheotomies, the deep V-shaped neckline can better avoid the tracheotomy site, facilitating related medical procedures and care, and reducing the impact on the patient's wound. The deep V-shaped neckline design also improves patient comfort, preventing the neckline from feeling restrictive due to a tight neckline, allowing patients to breathe more smoothly when wearing the shawl, and improving the overall user experience.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This utility model provides a warm shawl with a symmetrical structural design, in which the body, sleeves, and back fabric are connected by three connectors to form a stable whole for wearing. The outer layer is waterproof and breathable, the middle layer is filled with warm insulation, and the inner layer is made of skin-friendly material, which takes into account both warmth and comfort. The sleeves are equipped with elastic band pockets to stably fix the pressure sensor and prevent displacement caused by changes in body position, thereby improving monitoring accuracy. The shoulder opening is equipped with a second connector to simplify the dressing and doffing operation and reduce patient movement. Attached Figure Description

No matter the size of the sensor, it can be firmly fixed inside the placement bag 4, effectively preventing the sensor from shifting, shaking or falling off during patient movement.
[0028] The garment body 1 has a shoulder opening 5 at the shoulder position, and a connector 6 on the garment body 1 to close the shoulder opening 5. The design of the shoulder opening 5 and the connector 6 on the shoulder of the garment body 1 greatly facilitates the putting on and taking off of the warm shawl. The design of the shoulder opening 5 allows caregivers to easily put on or take off the shawl for the patient by opening and closing the connector 6, reducing the patient's body movement during the putting on and taking off process, reducing the patient's discomfort and risk of injury. At the same time, the connector 6 can be a variety of connection structures such as a rope, button or Velcro assembly.
[0029] The warm shawl consists of an outer fabric 9, a filling layer 10, and an inner fabric 11. The outer fabric 9 is waterproof and breathable, the filling layer 10 is a warming material, and the inner fabric 11 is a skin-friendly material. The waterproof and breathable outer layer effectively blocks external moisture and water, preventing the patient from getting wet from sweat or external water stains, keeping the body dry, while ensuring internal air circulation to prevent the patient from catching a cold or experiencing other discomfort due to excessive sweating caused by stuffiness. The filling layer 10 uses down or warming fibers with superior warmth retention, such as hollow polyester fiber, which can store a large amount of still air, reduce heat loss, provide good warmth retention for the patient, help maintain a stable body temperature, and promote physical recovery. The skin-friendly cotton material of the inner layer is soft and has low skin irritation, improving the patient's wearing comfort. Even after prolonged wear, it will not cause skin allergies or discomfort, enhancing the patient's user experience.
[0030] The garment body 1 features a deep V-shaped neckline 101. The deep V-shaped neckline 101 increases the opening range of the neckline 101, allowing caregivers to more easily remove the shawl from the patient's head. This avoids compression of the patient's head or neck due to a neckline that is too small, making it especially suitable for patients with limited head or neck movement. For special patients such as those with tracheotomies, the deep V-shaped neckline 101 can better avoid the tracheotomy site, facilitating related medical procedures and care, and reducing the impact on the patient's wound. The deep V-shaped neckline 101 design also improves patient comfort, preventing the neckline 101 from being too tight and causing a feeling of constriction on the neck, allowing patients to breathe more smoothly when wearing the shawl, and improving the overall user experience.
[0031] During manufacturing, the outer fabric 9, filling layer 10, and inner fabric 11 are cut according to the design dimensions. The outer fabric 9 is made of a waterproof and breathable material, such as waterproof and breathable polyester fiber fabric; the filling layer 10 can be made of down or warm fibers with excellent warmth retention, such as hollow polyester fiber; the inner fabric 11 is made of soft and skin-friendly cotton material. The cut three layers of fabric are stacked in the order of outer layer, filling layer 10, and inner layer, and then sewn together to form the basic shape of the garment body 1, sleeves 2, and back panel 3.
[0032] On sleeve 2, a placement bag 4 is sewn in the designed position. Connector 41 is installed at the opening of the placement bag 4. Connector 41 can be a zipper, Velcro or other opening and closing structure. An elastic band 8 is sewn inside the placement bag 4. The elasticity of the elastic band 8 should be able to adapt to pressure sensors of different sizes to ensure that the sensors are fixed firmly.
[0033] Cut a shoulder opening 5 at the shoulder of the garment body 1 and install connector 2 6. Connector 2 6 can be a tie, button or Velcro assembly, etc. For the tie, choose a moderately strong and soft cotton rope; the button can be made of plastic or metal to ensure it is sturdy and durable; the Velcro assembly should be a product with good adhesion and not easy to fall off.
[0034] A deep V-shaped neckline 101 is cut out on the garment body 1. The depth and angle of the neckline 101 are designed according to ergonomic principles and actual usage needs to ensure easy dressing and undressing and patient comfort.
[0035] When using the device, the caregiver first selects a suitable pressure sensor and places it into the placement bag 4 on the sleeve 2. The sensor is then secured with the elastic band 8. The placement bag 4 is then closed using connector 1 41. The warm shawl is then put over the patient's head, with the back fabric 3 positioned at the patient's shoulder. The shoulder opening 5 is then closed using connector 2 6, and the tightness is adjusted to a suitable level. This allows for monitoring and treatment while keeping the patient warm.
