Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical supplies technology, specifically to a nursing device for rheumatoid arthritis. Background Technology
[0002] In the modern medical field, rheumatoid arthritis is extremely challenging, causing immense pain and inconvenience to patients. It falls under the category of rheumatic diseases, primarily affecting joints, bones, muscles, blood vessels, and related soft tissues and connective tissues. Its onset is often related to wind, cold, and dampness. When the body is exposed to cold and damp environments for extended periods, is overworked, or has a deficiency of vital energy, wind, cold, and dampness can easily invade. Wind causes migratory pain, cold causes severe and fixed joint pain, and dampness exacerbates swelling and heaviness. These three factors intertwine and obstruct the meridians. With obstructed meridians, qi and blood cannot flow smoothly, stagnating in the joints and muscles. This blockage leads to pain, causing numbness and pain in the muscles and joints. As the disease progresses, it can also lead to joint deformities, muscle atrophy, and vascular diseases.
[0003] Traditional hot compresses are simply tied to the joints, which severely restricts normal joint movement and causes great inconvenience to patients' daily activities. Moreover, this method of binding is unstable, and the hot compresses are prone to shifting or falling off during the patient's activities, making it impossible to guarantee a continuous and stable hot compress effect. It is also difficult to continuously add medicated hot compresses, thus failing to meet the actual needs of rheumatoid arthritis patients for joint warmth and effective hot compress treatment to relieve pain.

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] Combination Figures 1 to 4This embodiment provides a nursing device for rheumatoid arthritis, including a base layer 1, and a corrugated layer 2 on the outer wall of the base layer 1.
[0023] The inner side of the base layer 1 and the outer side of the corrugated layer 2 are both provided with Velcro 7. The two Velcro 7 are used to fix the base layer 1 and the corrugated layer 2 to the patient's joint area.
[0024] The inner side of the base layer 1 is provided with a mesh bag 6, which is made of cotton fabric.
[0025] As the core support structure of the entire nursing device, the corrugated layer 2 has an adaptive shape due to its corrugated shape. Whether it is the frequent flexion and extension of the knee or the flexible rotation of the elbow, the corrugated layer 2 can closely fit the dynamic changes of the joint.
[0026] The Velcro 7 on the inner side of the base layer 1 and the outer side of the corrugated layer 2 forms a stable fixation. Through the tight adhesion of the two, the nursing device can be accurately and firmly tied to the patient's joint. When the patient moves, the device will not easily shift or loosen, which effectively ensures that the treatment process such as hot compress and drug penetration is accurately applied to the lesion and provides stable support for joint rehabilitation.
[0027] The mesh bag 6 placed inside the base layer 1 is made of soft, skin-friendly cotton fabric and is specially designed to meet the needs of auxiliary care. The patient can place the heating pack 9 inside, and thanks to the excellent breathability of the cotton fabric, the heat generated by the heating pack 9 can be evenly dissipated through the fabric.
[0028] The mesh bag 6 is tightly connected to the medicine bag 3 through the adhesive layer 11. Their overall structure is relatively independent and fits to one side of the joint. It has a certain degree of flexibility and can adapt to the initial bending movement of the joint without affecting the corrugated layer 2.
[0029] Reference Figures 2-4 The mesh bag 6 has a heating pack 9 inside, which is made of mineral salt material. The top of the mesh bag 6 has a zipper 5. The inside of the mesh bag 6 has a medicine bag 3. The top of the medicine bag 3 has an inlet pipe 4, and the bottom of the medicine bag 3 has an outlet pipe 8. The inlet pipe 4 and the outlet pipe 8 are connected to the medicine bag 3. Both the inlet pipe 4 and the outlet pipe 8 have valves 10 inside.
[0030] First, place the mesh pouch 6 into the heating pack 9. The mineral salts in the heating pack 9, with their excellent heat storage properties, dissipate heat at a stable and slow rate through a specific mechanism (such as oxidation or electric heating triggering). The heat is evenly and gently transferred to the joint through the skin-friendly cotton mesh pouch 6, promoting local capillary dilation and increasing blood flow, initially relieving pain and reducing inflammation. As the treatment progresses, if the patient notices the heating pack 9 losing heat, they can gently unzip 5, remove the old heating pack, replace it with a new one, and then zip 5 back up to ensure continuous and stable heat application. Simultaneously, the medication bag 3 inside the mesh pouch 6 is opened, and the inlet tube 4 connects to the external medication storage device, meeting medical standards. The patient manually opens the flow regulating valve 10 as needed, allowing the medication to flow smoothly into the storage. After the medication has been heated for a period of time, it will lose its original pharmacological activity. At this point, the patient manually opens the outlet tube 8 valve 10, which is then precisely adjusted. The outlet tube 8 also connects to the external pipe, allowing the medication to flow out into the external storage device for discharge. After discharge, the medication is replaced.
[0031] By combining the mesh bag 6 and the heating pack 9, and utilizing the heat storage properties of mineral salts, the heat application is made uninterrupted via the convenient zipper 5, creating a suitable warm environment for the joints and continuously accelerating blood circulation to relieve pain and inflammation. In terms of medication management, the inlet tube 4, the medication bag 3, and the outlet tube 8 are linked to the external medication storage device, allowing patients to precisely control the inflow and outflow of medication as needed, and promptly replace inactive medication to ensure strong medication efficacy with each heat application.
[0032] Reference Figures 1-4 An adhesive layer 11 is provided between the mesh bag 6 and the medicine bag 3. The mesh bag 6 and the medicine bag 3 are connected by the adhesive layer 11. A heat insulation cotton is fixedly connected to the side of the medicine bag 3 away from the mesh bag 6. A water-proof inner membrane layer is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the medicine bag 3.
[0033] The adhesive layer 11 between the mesh bag 6 and the medicine bag 3 plays a key connecting role, ensuring that the two fit tightly together. The adhesive layer 11 can be Velcro, which makes it easy to replace the medicine bag 3.
[0034] When the heating pack 9 continues to heat up, the insulation cotton can effectively block excessive heat conduction to the human skin, prevent the risk of burns caused by excessive local temperature, and provide safer care for patients.
[0035] Since the medicine bag 3 needs to store medicine, the waterproof inner membrane layer can effectively block the penetration of medicine and prevent the medicine from leaking into the mesh bag 6 or other parts.
[0036] Working principle: First, the base layer 1 serves as the core support structure. Its outer corrugated layer 2, with its corrugated shape, can closely conform to the dynamic changes of joints such as the knee and elbow during frequent flexion, extension, and flexible rotation. The Velcro 7 on the inner side of the base layer 1 and the outer side of the corrugated layer 2 work together to precisely and firmly fix the device to the patient's joint, ensuring that the device will not easily shift or loosen during patient movement, thus guaranteeing a stable treatment process that acts on the lesion.
[0037] The inner mesh pouch 6 of the device is made of soft, skin-friendly cotton fabric, and contains a mineral salt heating pack 9. During use, the heating pack 9 is activated through a specific mechanism (such as oxidation or electric heating triggering). Thanks to its excellent heat storage properties, it dissipates heat at a stable and slow rate. The heat is evenly and gently transferred to the joint through the cotton fabric, promoting local capillary dilation and increasing blood flow, thus initially relieving pain and reducing inflammation. When the patient notices the heating pack 9 losing heat or wants to adjust the temperature, they can easily remove the old heating pack and replace it with a new one using the cleverly designed, convenient, and airtight zipper 5 at the top, maintaining continuous and stable heat therapy.
[0038] Meanwhile, the inside of the mesh pouch 6 is tightly connected to the medicine bag 3 via an adhesive layer 11 (which can be Velcro), ensuring their relative positions are fixed and facilitating the replacement of the medicine bag 3. The side of the medicine bag 3 away from the mesh pouch 6 is equipped with heat-insulating cotton. When the heating pack 9 is continuously heating, the heat-insulating cotton effectively prevents excessive heat conduction to the skin, preventing burns. Its inner waterproof membrane layer prevents medicine leakage. The inlet pipe 4 connects to an external medicine storage device. Patients can manually open the flow regulating valve 10 as needed, allowing the medicine to flow smoothly into the storage. If the medicine loses its pharmacological activity after heating for a period of time, the outlet pipe 8 valve 10 can be manually adjusted to allow the medicine to flow out through the externally connected pipe to the storage device for discharge. Afterwards, the medicine can be replaced, creating a suitable warm environment for rheumatoid arthritis patients' joint rehabilitation and helping to relieve pain.
[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
