Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice pack products, and in particular to a conformal ice pack device for relieving acute pain of gouty arthritis. Background Technology

[0002] Gouty arthritis refers to joint involvement and damage in patients with gout, mainly manifested as swelling or beaded changes in the joints. A key characteristic of gouty arthritis is the involvement of large joints, most commonly the first and second toe joints, followed by the ankle and knee joints. In some patients, the elbow joint may also be affected. In patients with a history of gout, joint damage leads to the formation of urate crystals within the joint, resulting in tissue hyperplasia.

[0003] In existing technologies, ice packs are often applied to the affected area using a bandage or by the patient holding the pack in their hand. However, holding the pack in their hand is not only cumbersome but also takes up the patient's limbs, which can be quite disruptive. Bandages, on the other hand, are also cumbersome, especially for patients with ankles or knees, who may find it difficult to apply the pack while in pain. Therefore, we propose a custom-fit ice pack device for relieving acute pain in gouty arthritis to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art by proposing a patch-type ice pack for relieving acute pain of gouty arthritis.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-5 A patch-type ice pack for relieving acute pain of gouty arthritis includes a pre-fixation band 1 on which an ice pack component is provided;

[0024] The ice pack assembly includes a cloth bag 2 containing an ice pack. A connecting strap 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the cloth bag 2, and multiple hooks 4 are fixedly connected to the connecting strap 3. A sponge pad 5 is fixedly connected to the connecting strap, and a retaining ring 6 matching the hooks 4 is provided inside the sponge pad 5. The hooks 4 are arranged in a single horizontal row, while multiple retaining rings 6 are arranged horizontally to correspond to the hooks 4, and multiple rows of retaining rings 6 are provided, making it easier for users to engage the hooks 4 and retaining rings 6. A pull strap is fixedly connected to the side of the cloth bag 2 away from the connecting strap 3, and a Velcro is fixedly connected to the end of the pull strap away from the cloth bag 2. A connecting ring 7 matching the pull strap is rotatably connected to the pre-fixing strap 1.

[0025] In the above design, the retaining ring 6 is placed inside the sponge pad 5, which can hide the retaining ring 6 and prevent it from rubbing against the patient's clothing or personal items. When the patient experiences contractions, the patient first puts the ice pack into the cloth bag 2, then presses the connecting strap 3 onto the sponge pad 5, and then slides the connecting strap 3 upwards so that the hook 4 and the retaining ring 6 are engaged. Then, the pull strap is passed through the connecting ring 7 and the Velcro on the pull strap is fastened together to fix the ice pack component. In this design, the operation is extremely simple and convenient for the patient when applying ice packs. With the pre-fixation strap 1, the purpose of rapid ice pack application can be achieved. At the same time, the pre-fixation strap 1 is not noticeable to the patient even after long-term wear and will not affect the patient's daily life. When the patient experiences contractions, the extremely simple operation can quickly relieve the patient's pain.

[0026] In addition, in this design, the pre-fixation band 1 can ensure the fixation effect of the ice pack component, so that the ice pack component can effectively fit the patient's affected area and the relatively stable fixation effect can not affect the patient's daily activities when applying ice packs, reducing the adverse effects of ice packs on the patient's daily activities.

[0027] Furthermore, the cloth bag 2 includes a main body 21, a strip opening 22 is provided on one side of the cloth bag 2, and a clearance opening is provided on the side of the cloth bag 2 near the strip opening 22. A mesh belt 23 is fixedly connected inside the clearance opening, a buckle 24 is fixedly connected on the side of the cloth bag 2 away from the buckle 24, and an elastic rope 25 is fixedly connected on the side of the cloth bag 2 away from the buckle 24.

[0028] In this design, the strip opening 22 faces the patient's body surface. After the ice pack component is fixed, the ice pack cannot be detached from the strip opening 22. The opening, combined with the mesh strap 23, ensures effective fixation of the ice pack while reducing obstruction and improving the fit between the ice pack and the patient's affected area. Since gouty arthritis often occurs in the knee and wrist joints, if the patient is in a sitting position, it can easily affect the fit between the ice pack component and the affected area. Therefore, an elastic cord 25 is provided with a buckle 24. After wearing the ice pack component, the patient can put the elastic cord 25 on the buckle 24 to further tighten the cloth bag 2, making the fit between the ice pack and the affected area even better.

[0029] Furthermore, the pre-fixing band 1 includes a first annular band 11 and a second annular band 12, and a limiting band 13 is provided between the first annular band 11 and the second annular band 12;

[0030] The two loop straps can more effectively secure the ice pack component, while the limiting strap 13 is used to facilitate the orientation of the positioning ring 6 and connecting ring 7 when wearing it, as well as to control the distance between the first loop strap 11 and the second loop strap 12. It is especially suitable for areas near the knee and ankle joints. The loop straps can be made using existing technology straps.

[0031] Furthermore, the pull strap is provided with a hook side 9 and a hook side 8 of hook and loop fasteners, wherein the length of the hook side 9 is greater than the length of the hook side 8.

[0032] This design is commonly used with Velcro, allowing the pull strap to form a loop and engage with the connecting ring 7, thereby securing the ice pack component.

[0033] Furthermore, the buckle 24 has an annular groove, and the width of the annular groove is greater than the outer diameter of the elastic rope 25.

[0034] The elastic cord 25 is also looped, which can be directly put on the buckle 24. Depending on the patient's body size and comfort, the elastic cord 25 can be wrapped around the loop multiple times, which makes it easy for the patient to adjust the tightness while preventing the elastic cord 25 from coming loose.

[0035] Furthermore, the lower end of the hook 4 is fixedly connected to a ball head 10. The ball head can serve as a guide, ensuring that the hook 4 can be more easily inserted into the retaining ring 6, while also preventing the hook 4 from scratching the patient's skin.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
