Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of post-pacemaker sandbag fixation, specifically relating to a pacemaker sandbag fixation belt. Background Technology
[0002] Common complications after pacemaker implantation include pocket bleeding and hematoma. Mild cases may result in poor wound healing or infection, while severe cases may require surgical debridement, causing significant pain for patients and placing a heavy financial burden on society and families. To prevent incision bleeding and hematoma and reduce postoperative oozing, patients need to remain supine with the sandbag pressing firmly on the incision site for 4–6 hours. The sandbag is prone to displacement during use, which can affect the patient's recovery; therefore, effective fixation is necessary. However, existing sandbag fixation devices typically use a multi-directional wrapping method, which is ergonomically unsound, making it difficult for patients to wear and negatively impacting their experience.
[0003] A patent with publication number CN210749360U relates to a sandbag fixation device for post-pacemaker surgery. The device includes a sandbag cover, neck strap, chest strap, arm strap, connecting buckles, slip rings, a zipper, neck strap extensions, chest strap extensions, auxiliary filler, and a sandbag receiving portion. In use, the auxiliary filler is first filled into the neck strap and chest strap extensions, placing the sandbag within the receiving portion, and then the zipper is closed. Next, the arm strap is placed over the patient's left arm, the neck strap is placed over the patient's head, and the chest strap is wrapped around the patient's back, with the male and female connecting buckles fastened together. Finally, pushing the slip ring to secure it tightly against the patient's left arm completes the sandbag fixation.
[0004] The aforementioned method uses a combination of neck straps, chest straps, and arm straps to easily secure the sandbag to the postoperative incision site, ensuring effective pressure and reducing wound bleeding. However, the sandbag cover itself is already tilted, resulting in poor overall stability and making it prone to tilting under external environmental influences. This can cause the sandbag to shift, affecting the patient's subsequent recovery speed. Furthermore, this wearing method is not ergonomic and can negatively impact the patient's wearing experience.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only some, not all, of the embodiments disclosed. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0028] Example 1: As Figures 1-4 As shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A pacemaker sandbag fixing strap includes a front chest cloth 1 and a back cloth 2, which are connected by a first connector. Two front shoulder straps 4 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the front chest cloth 1, and two rear shoulder straps 41 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the back cloth 2. The two front shoulder straps 4 and the two rear shoulder straps 41 correspond one-to-one, and each front shoulder strap 4 is connected to the corresponding rear shoulder strap 41 by a second connector.
[0029] The front chest fabric 1, back fabric 2, front shoulder strap 4, and rear shoulder strap 41 can be connected via the first and second connectors, forming a vest-like shape. This vest shape is more ergonomic, provides better stability, and is less prone to tilting under the influence of external environmental factors. This ensures the sandbag's fixation effect while improving the wearer's comfort and reducing the occurrence of postoperative complications. Furthermore, the front chest fabric 1, back fabric 2, front shoulder strap 4, and rear shoulder strap 41 are all made of cotton fabric, which is soft and absorbent, further enhancing patient comfort.
[0030] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the first connector includes Velcro assemblies 3. Velcro assemblies 3 are fixedly installed on both the left and right ends of the outer side of the front chest fabric 1 and the left and right ends of the inner side of the back fabric 2. The Velcro assemblies 3 on the outer side of the front chest fabric 1 correspond one-to-one with the Velcro assemblies 3 on the inner side of the back fabric 2. When wrapping the patient, the Velcro assemblies 3 on the inner side of the back fabric 2 wrap around the Velcro assemblies 3 on the outer side of the front chest fabric 1, thus tightly securing the front chest fabric 1 and the back fabric 2 and maintaining a tight wrap around the patient.
[0031] The second connector includes Velcro set 2 5. Two sets of Velcro set 2 5 are provided on the inner side of the front shoulder strap 4 and the outer side of the rear shoulder strap 41. Each Velcro set 2 5 on the inner side of the front shoulder strap 4 is connected to the corresponding Velcro set 2 5 on the rear shoulder strap 41. The Velcro set 2 5 ensures a tight connection between the front shoulder strap 4 and the rear shoulder strap 41, further guaranteeing a snug fit for the patient. Furthermore, the two sets of Velcro set 2 5 on the front shoulder strap 4 and the rear shoulder strap 41 allow for adjustment of the connection position between the front chest fabric 1 and the back fabric 2, thus making it suitable for more patients.
[0032] Two sets of cloth bag groups 6 are provided on the outer side of the front chest cloth 1. Each set of cloth bag groups 6 includes two overlapping cloth bag layers 1 7 and 2 10. Sandbags are placed inside the cloth bag groups 6. The cloth bag layers 1 7 and 2 10 can be adjusted to adjust the position of the sandbags according to the different incision sites of the patients.
[0033] The pocket layer 7 has a first front cover (not shown in the figure) and a first back cover (not shown in the figure). The first back cover is fixedly connected to the front chest fabric 1. The first front cover and the first back cover are sewn together, and the first front cover and the first back cover form an upward-opening accommodating space. The top openings of the first front cover and the first back cover are also provided with pocket Velcro 8, which is used to close the opening formed by the first front cover and the second front cover.
[0034] In addition, a partition Velcro 9 is horizontally provided in the middle of the accommodating space formed by the first front cover and the first rear cover. The partition Velcro 9 can divide the accommodating space formed by the first front cover and the first rear cover into upper and lower parts to meet the different needs of different patients.
[0035] The second layer of the bag 10 has a second front cover (not shown in the figure) and a second rear cover (not shown in the figure). The second rear cover is fixedly connected to the first front cover, and the second front cover and the second rear cover are sewn together. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the second front cover and the second rear cover form an accommodating space that opens to the left. The second front cover and the second rear cover are also provided with a second pocket hook and loop fastener 11 inside the left opening. The second pocket hook and loop fastener 11 is used to close the opening formed by the second front cover and the second rear cover.
[0036] In addition, a partition Velcro 212 is vertically provided in the middle of the accommodating space formed by the second front cover and the second rear cover. The partition Velcro 212 can divide the accommodating space formed by the second front cover and the second rear cover into left and right parts to meet the different needs of different patients.
[0037] Working principle of Example 1: When in use, wrap the front chest cloth 1 around the patient's chest and the back cloth 2 around the patient's back. Then, according to the patient's body shape, select the Velcro group 2 5 at the appropriate position of the front shoulder strap 4 and the back shoulder strap 41 so that the Velcro group 2 5 on the inside of the front shoulder strap 4 and the Velcro group 2 5 on the outside of the back cloth 2 are tightly fixed.
[0038] Subsequently, the Velcro group 3 on the inside of the back fabric 2 is wrapped around the Velcro group 3 on the outside of the front fabric 1. The Velcro group 3 secures the front fabric 1 and the back fabric 2 tightly, thus ensuring a tight wrap for the patient.
[0039] Since the front chest cloth 1, back cloth 2, front shoulder strap 4, and back shoulder strap 41 are all made of cotton, this wearing method is more stable than the traditional method of fixing with multiple straps wrapped around the body. It not only provides convenience for wearing but also maintains good sweat absorption, thus providing patients with a comfortable wearing experience.
[0040] Then, place the appropriate sandbag into the appropriate bag set 6. When placing the sandbag, you can choose to place it horizontally or vertically according to the required pressing area and angle to meet the different needs of different patients.
[0041] When placed horizontally, the sandbag can be placed in the upper or lower part of the bag layer 7. After selection, its position can be fixed by the pocket hook and loop fastener 8 and the divider hook and loop fastener 9. Alternatively, the divider hook and loop fastener 9 can be torn open to place a larger sandbag in the bag layer 7.
[0042] Similarly, when placed vertically, the sandbag can be placed on the left or right side of the second layer 10 of the cloth bag. After selection, its position can be fixed by the pocket hook and loop fastener 211 and the divider hook and loop fastener 212. Alternatively, the divider hook and loop fastener 212 can be torn open to place a larger sandbag in the second layer 10 of the cloth bag.
[0043] Example 2: Figure 5 As shown, the difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that: a hook and loop fastener 13 is fixedly provided on the outer side of the front chest fabric 1, and a hook and loop fastener pair (not shown in the figure) corresponding to and cooperating with the hook and loop fastener 13 is provided on one side of the pocket layer 7. The area of the hook and loop fastener pair is smaller than the area of the hook and loop fastener 13.
[0044] The working principle of Example 2: In this example, simply select the size of the sandbag, place it inside the cloth bag layer 7, and then attach the cloth bag layer 7 to the Velcro patch 13 as needed. This method not only meets different pressing requirements but also offers greater flexibility in its use.
[0045] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
