[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 The present invention provides a shoulder covering, including a covering body 1. The components of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the cover body 1 may include a base layer 11, an adhesive layer 12 and a waterproof layer 13, which can be fixedly connected from bottom to top.

[0025] In this embodiment, the adhesive layer 12 can be set as a silver ion adhesive.

[0026] Specifically, both surfaces of the adhesive layer 12 provide adhesion. The silver ion adhesive is a polymer colloid containing silver ions. Silver ions have good antibacterial effects and can effectively prevent the growth of bacteria and microorganisms, reducing the risk of infection.

[0027] Furthermore, the waterproof layer 13 can be made of polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride.

[0028] Polyethylene (PE) is a lightweight, water-resistant, and highly flexible material with excellent waterproof properties, making it suitable for use as a waterproof layer in medical drapes. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) possesses superior waterproof, oil-resistant, and tear-resistant properties, effectively preventing liquid penetration. Both are widely used in various medical and nursing supplies, especially in operating rooms, ICUs, and other environments requiring sterility and dryness.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the base layer 11 may include an inner surface material layer 101, an intermediate material layer 102, and a plastic layer 103, with the intermediate material layer 102 fixedly connected between the inner surface material layer 101 and the plastic layer 103.

[0030] Preferably, the connection between the intermediate fabric layer 102 and the inner surface fabric layer 101 can be a heat-pressed connection, and the connection between the intermediate fabric layer 102 and the plastic layer 103 can be an adhesive connection.

[0031] Preferably, the inner surface material layer 101 can be made of cotton, the middle material layer 102 can be made of non-woven fabric, and the plastic layer 103 can be made of polyethylene or polypropylene.

[0032] The inner surface material layer 101, which comes into direct contact with the patient's skin, is typically made of soft, skin-friendly cotton to reduce friction and discomfort. The non-woven fabric has good breathability while preventing liquid penetration, thus maintaining a sterile environment. Polyethylene or polypropylene has waterproof and certain heat-insulating properties, which can further maintain the patient's body temperature and help improve the patient's comfort.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, one end of the cover body 1 is provided with a neckline 2 corresponding to the neck area of ​​the human body. At least one insertion hole 3 is provided on the cover body 1 at the position corresponding to the area below the clavicle and the shoulder area of ​​the human body for positioning and insertion of the deep vein tube 01. The insertion hole 3 is provided with an insertion gap 4 on the side facing the edge of the cover body 1.

[0034] Preferably, the four corners of the back of the cover body 1 are provided with first stickers 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, the upper and lower sides of the insertion gap 4 can be provided with a first connector 6 and a second connector 7 located on the front of the cover body 1. The upper and lower areas of the front of the cover body 1 located on the insertion gap 4 can be folded over each other and overlapped by the fixed connection of the first connector 6 and the second connector 7, so that the upper and lower sides of the insertion gap 4 form an overlapping area to achieve the closure of the insertion gap 4 and the insertion hole 3, which can maintain the closure and protection of the insertion part after insertion.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, both the first connector 6 and the second connector 7 can be set as a second sticker, Velcro, or strap 8.

[0037] The second sticker is quick and easy to use, allowing for rapid application. The hook and loop sides of the Velcro can be used together to secure the sticker, and it can be used multiple times. It is easy to adjust and disassemble, and is secured with two straps, making it less likely to fall off and ensuring good durability.

[0038] Specifically, the neckline 2 is positioned so that medical staff can quickly identify the covering direction of the disposable cover body 1. The first sticker 5 is located at the four corners of the back of the cover body 1 to fix the position of the cover body 1 on the patient's body, thereby covering the patient's upper body. This ensures that the cover body 1 will not easily slip during operation and can provide stable protection to protect patient privacy and provide a sterile environment.

[0039] Preferably, the opening shape of the neckline 2 can be set as U-shaped, V-shaped, or square. The opening shape can be designed according to the patient's body shape needs. In this embodiment, it is preferably set as round, which has a wide range of applications and is more comfortable than V-shaped or square necklines.

[0040] Deep vein catheterization plays an important role in ICU care. The subclavian vein is located below the clavicle, extending outward along the lower edge of the clavicle. It is a continuation of the superior axillary vein and is usually located at the point where the medial edge of the clavicle, which connects to the shoulder area, is in close contact with the chest wall.

[0041] In practice, medical staff cover the patient's upper body with the disposable gauze body 1 and fix it to the patient's back and both sides of the waist with the first sticker 5 at the four corners of the back of the gauze body 1. The insertion port 3 is aligned with the insertion site in the patient's shoulder area. The insertion port 3 and the insertion gap 4 on the gauze body 1 provide medical staff with convenient channels for deep vein catheterization. After the deep vein catheter is inserted, the connection between the first connector 6 and the second connector 7 keeps the insertion gap 4 and the insertion port 3 closed, which can protect the puncture site, thereby reducing the risk of bacteria and fluid entering, maintaining the sterility of the insertion site, and reducing the chance of infection.

[0042] In summary, the shoulder cover of this invention allows medical staff to easily insert deep vein catheters into the insertion port through the insertion gap for catheter placement, effectively shortening the operation time and also taking into account the needs of subsequent catheterization care. It can provide stable protection for the insertion site after insertion, reducing the risk of infection. This invention provides a certain degree of warmth to the patient while exposing the insertion site, helping to maintain body temperature, and also effectively protects patient privacy and improves user comfort.

[0043] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
