Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rehabilitation medical device technology, specifically to a three-section pressurized ice pack. Background Technology

[0002] During chemotherapy, compression therapy with gloves (or feet) is often used to reduce the concentration of chemotherapy drugs in the peripheral nerves and reduce the occurrence of peripheral neuropathy. At the same time, cryotherapy is used to reduce the intake of drugs that cause symptoms such as tingling and numbness in the hands and feet and slow down nerve conduction to improve CIPN.

[0003] In existing technologies, surgical gloves or homemade stockings are usually used to compress the extremities. Although surgical gloves are convenient to use, their fixed size makes it difficult to completely fit the shape and size of the hands and feet to achieve the purpose of stimulating blood vessel constriction with ice packs. Ice packs need to be wrapped and fixed at the same time. Although surgical gloves have a certain degree of elasticity, they are not suitable for more treatment methods and environments.

[0004] Traditional ice packs are only used for ice application and cannot further stimulate vasoconstriction to enhance the therapeutic effect and reduce the inflammatory response. Furthermore, the state of the ice pack varies at different stages of the ice application, causing the shape of the ice pack to change. Due to gravity, liquid may flow and accumulate, making it difficult to fit the patient's hands and feet in some areas, resulting in gaps that affect the ice application effect. External force is needed to help it fit properly to maintain the ice application effect.

[0005] While one-piece ice packs provide good cooling effects, they cannot be disassembled or adjusted to fit different areas of the skin on the extremities. This can easily cause more irritation and damage to the thinner skin on the affected side. In addition, patients may not be able to build up tolerance and may find it difficult to maintain the duration of the ice pack, thus affecting its effectiveness. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a three-section pressurizable ice pack sleeve to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the ice pack sleeve is not conducive to maintaining a close fit to the skin during the ice packing process, thus affecting the ice packing effect.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a three-section pressurized ice pack sleeve, including an ice pack sleeve 10, a pressurized sleeve 20 is provided on the ice pack sleeve 10, the pressurized sleeve 20 is wrapped around the outer ring of the ice pack sleeve 10 and then stacked and pasted to form an adjustable enclosure structure, a rubber ball 21 is provided at the air inlet end of the pressurized sleeve 20, and an adjusting plug 22 is provided at the air outlet end of the pressurized sleeve 20. The adjusting plug 22 moves horizontally and then communicates with the pressurized sleeve 20 to release air.

[0028] The pressure sleeve 20 has fingertips 23 and limbs 24 at both ends, and both fingertips 23 and limbs 24 are connected to the pressure sleeve 20 to form a three-section overlapping structure.

[0029] This invention employs a double-layer combination wearable form to construct an ice pack with a pressure adjustment structure. The detachable design allows for adjustment of the ice pack's application side according to treatment needs, reducing skin damage and improving tolerance. The pressure application helps to wrap around the extremities to stimulate vasoconstriction, while reducing gaps between the ice pack and the extremities caused by the ice pack's shape and melting degree, which could affect the ice pack's effectiveness. Furthermore, the three-section structure enhances the comfort and fit of the ice pack.

[0030] Applying pressure can stimulate vasoconstriction, improve local blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and achieve the therapeutic purpose. At the same time, it can improve the fixation of the ice pack 10. The pressure pack 20 can be easily put on and taken off by enclosing it. When ice application is not required, the pressure pack 20 can be used alone to achieve other therapeutic purposes, which can expand the scope of application and usage scenarios of the ice pack 10 and the pressure pack 20.

[0031] The two ends of the pressure sleeve 20 are fixed separately by the fingertips 23 and the limb ends 24, which facilitates the fixation of different positions of the user's limbs, thereby improving the overall fit of the pressure sleeve 20. At the same time, it facilitates the movement of the user's limb joints, thereby reducing fatigue caused by excessive stiffness of the limbs due to pressure, and making it convenient for the user to wear and move around, which is beneficial to the movement of the joints.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the ice pack sleeve 10 is provided with an annular insert 11, and at least one set of ice packs 12 is provided inside the annular insert 11. A thumb hole 13 is provided on one side of the ice pack sleeve 10, and a hole matching the thumb hole 13 is provided on the pressure sleeve 20.

[0033] Both the ice pack sleeve 10 and the ring-shaped insert 11 are made of insulating material. The outer layer is made of rubber to form a waterproof structure, and the inner layer is made of insulating cotton and tin foil to form an insulating structure.

[0034] A self-sealing strip is provided at the opening of the ring-shaped insert 11. When the ice pack 12 is placed in the ring-shaped insert 11, the opening is fixed by the self-sealing strip, which makes it easy to install or remove the ice pack 12. The number of ice packs 12 in the ring-shaped insert 11 can be increased or decreased according to actual use needs, thereby adjusting the purpose of applying ice to one or both sides of the limb.

[0035] The thumb hole 13 is designed to fit the hand structure, making it easy to fix the thumb and wear. The pressure sleeve 20 has a thumb sleeve at the thumb hole 13, which can seal the thumb hole 13 and wrap the entire hand in an ice pack environment, which helps to reduce the external gaps of the ice pack sleeve 10 and improve the heat preservation effect.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, one side of the pressure sleeve 20 and the outer wall of the pressure sleeve 20 are provided with hook and loop fasteners 201, and the other side of the pressure sleeve 20 and the outer wall of the rubber ball 21 are provided with hook and loop fasteners 202. The rubber ball 21 is fixed by moving and abutting against the pressure sleeve 20 through the hook and loop fasteners 201 and the hook and loop fasteners 202.

[0037] The pressure sleeve 20 surrounds the outer wall of the ice pack sleeve 10 and is fixed by the hook and loop fasteners 201 and 202 at both ends. This allows for easy adjustment and fixation according to the user's limb dimensions, while also reinforcing the pressure sleeve 20 to the limb and making it easy to wear.

[0038] The rubber ball 21 is attached to the pressure sleeve 20 by the hook and loop fastener 201 and the female hook and loop fastener 202, which makes it easy to fix and store the rubber ball 21, reduces the chance of accidentally squeezing the rubber ball 21 during use, and facilitates movement. When wearing, the rubber ball 21 can be removed for pressure operation.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air inlet end of the pressure sleeve 20 is provided with a threaded connector 211, and one end of the threaded connector 211 is connected to the rubber ball 21 through the air inlet pipe 212.

[0040] The connection between the threaded connector 211 and the air intake pipe 212 facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the rubber ball 21, the cleaning and maintenance of the pressure sleeve 20, and the storage of the rubber ball 21 when not in use.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the adjusting plug 22 includes an output pipe 221 fixedly installed at the air outlet end of the pressurizing sleeve 20. A rubber baffle 222 is provided on the inner wall of the output pipe 221. One end of the adjusting plug 22 is movably connected to the output pipe 221 through a movable rod 223. A T-shaped venting channel 224 is provided on the adjusting plug 22.

[0042] The pressure inside the pressure sleeve 20 can be adjusted by adjusting the plug 22. By pushing the adjusting plug 22 inward, one end of the adjusting plug 22 pushes the rubber baffle 222 to open. At this time, the output pipe 221 is connected to the adjusting plug 22, and the gas inside the pressure sleeve 20 is released through the output pipe 221 and the adjusting plug 22. The venting channel 224 can expand the venting range and facilitate adjustment. At the same time, it can also be pressurized directly through the adjusting plug 22.

[0043] The connection between the movable rod 223 and the output tube 221 is fixed by a spring;

[0044] When the pressure inside the pressure sleeve 20 is adjusted to a suitable level, the pressure sleeve 20 is released and the spring rebound causes the adjusting plug 22 to separate from the rubber baffle 222, keeping the adjusting plug 22 at a certain distance from the rubber baffle 222 at one end of the output pipe 221. At this time, the rubber baffle 222 connects to the opening of the output pipe 221 to form a closed state.

[0045] The pressure adjustment of the pressure sleeve 20 not only improves the fit of the ice pack 10, but also allows for adjustment of the pressure of the pressure sleeve 20 during the ice application process. This reduces the impact on the ice application effect caused by changes in the fit of the ice pack 10 due to the continuous melting and shape changes of the ice pack.

[0046] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. The scope of protection of this application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to this application within its substance and scope of protection, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this application.
