Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a chin cooling compress device. Background Technology

[0002] Hyaluronic acid is a safe and commonly used substance in plastic surgery, especially in facial plastic surgery. The injection method allows for adjustments based on the patient's specific needs during the procedure. Hyaluronic acid chin augmentation, also known as hyaluronic acid chin augmentation, primarily involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the chin area to lengthen or lift it, providing immediate and reliable results.

[0003] Clinically, hyaluronic acid chin augmentation often results in numerous needle marks on the chin area, leading to postoperative swelling, mild pain, and a burning sensation. Currently, postoperative ice packs are commonly used to relieve or eliminate swelling and reduce pain and burning. However, medical ice packs are typically flat bags that don't effectively conform to the patient's chin contour, meaning they don't provide a proper fit. Furthermore, ice pack application usually involves manually supporting the pack or using a makeshift rope to secure it to the chin. Both methods have drawbacks: the ice pack doesn't adhere effectively to the chin, significantly reducing its effectiveness. Additionally, without proper support, the ice pack is prone to shifting, severely impacting the cooling effect.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a chin cooling device to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0028] Example

[0029] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the chin cooling device of this embodiment includes a housing 1, a cooling cavity is formed inside the housing 1, a cooling unit 2 is installed in the cooling cavity, the upper surface of the housing 1 is recessed inward to the lower middle part to form a cooling concave surface adapted to the chin, a skin-friendly layer 13 is attached to the cooling concave surface, and a heat-insulating layer is provided on the lower surface of the housing 1.

[0030] In this embodiment, the chin cooling compress device is used by inserting the cooling unit 2 into the cooling cavity inside the housing 1. The housing 1 is then brought close to the patient's chin, allowing the chin to sink into the cooling concave surface of the housing 1. Because the upper surface of the housing 1 is designed with a concave structure to fit the patient's chin, and the skin-friendly layer 13 has a certain degree of compressive deformation capability, the patient's chin can be well embedded in the upper concave area of ​​the housing 1 and fit well with the skin-friendly layer 13. The overall structure is simple and reasonable, easy to wear, and fits well to the patient's chin. The cooling unit effectively cools the chin, preventing and suppressing postoperative chin edema. It also reduces pain and burning sensations, promotes postoperative recovery, and reduces adverse postoperative reactions. Furthermore, the insulation layer design reduces the loss of cooling energy.

[0031] It should be noted that during the cold compress process, it is not advisable to apply the cold compress for a long time. Generally, it is sufficient to apply the cold compress intermittently, with each application lasting about 1 minute.

[0032] In this embodiment, the insulation layer can be made of insulation cotton adhered to the lower surface of the housing 1. The insulation layer can delay the melting time of the ice pack and extend its service life.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the aforementioned support shell 1 includes a main shell with an upper opening and an elastic top wall encapsulated at the upper opening of the main shell.

[0034] In the above implementation scheme, the support shell 1 includes a main shell with a relatively hard lower part and an elastic top wall encapsulated at the upper open end. The design of the elastic top wall allows the patient's chin to undergo slight adaptive deformation after the two come into contact when embedded in the concave area at the top of the support shell 1, so that the skin-friendly layer 13 can fit the shape of the patient's chin well, so that the skin-friendly layer 13 fits well with the chin, forming a wrap around the chin, and the cold compress effect is better.

[0035] The aforementioned elastic top wall can be an elastic membrane structure or an elastic plate surface.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the skin-friendly layer 13 is a gel.

[0037] In the above implementation scheme, the skin-friendly layer 13 is made of medical gel, which has a good tactile feel when in contact with the skin and will not solidify at low temperatures, facilitating the transfer of cold energy. Furthermore, the slightly fluid nature of this skin-friendly layer 13 allows the cold compress to better fit the patient's chin, achieving personalized treatment.

[0038] Of course, the gel can also be replaced with existing gel memory foam materials or other similar materials.

[0039] In this embodiment, the design of the cooling unit 2 includes at least the following two structural forms:

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the refrigeration unit 2 is an ice pack, and the lower end of the support shell 1 is provided with a sealing plate 15 that can be opened or closed.

[0041] In this scheme 1), an openable sealing plate 15 is provided at the lower end of the housing 1, allowing the cooling unit 2 to be removed or inserted through the opening in the sealing plate 15 for easy replacement. The cooling unit 2 uses a medical-grade ice pack, with ice inside and a plastic packaging bag outside. During use, the sealing plate 15 can be opened at any time to remove or insert the cooling unit 2, facilitating reuse and making it economical and environmentally friendly.

[0042] It should be noted that: with the structure of the sealing plate 15 open or closed, liquid refrigerant cannot be directly injected into the refrigeration cavity; it needs to be filled with solid refrigerant or refrigerant with outer packaging.

[0043] 1) such as Figure 3 As shown, the refrigeration unit 2 is a cold medium, and the lower end of the support shell 1 is provided with a medium inlet / outlet 16 that communicates with the refrigeration cavity.

[0044] In scheme 2), a sealed refrigeration cavity is formed inside the support shell 1. The refrigeration medium can be filled into or released into the refrigeration cavity through the medium inlet / outlet 16. The medium inlet / outlet 16 can be set as a tubular component, and the port is equipped with a removable plug.

[0045] In this embodiment, the edges of the aforementioned support shell 1 are rounded or covered with silicone sleeves. This ensures that the edges of the support shell 1 will not cause scratches or damage when in contact with the skin of the chin.

[0046] In this embodiment, the longitudinal section of the aforementioned support shell 1 is crescent-shaped. The concave shape in the middle matches the physiological curve of the patient's chin.

[0047] Alternatively, the cross-sectional shape of the concave area at the top of the support shell 1 can be designed as a crescent shape, and the shape of the bottom of the support shell 1 can be flexibly designed according to actual needs. For example, the bottom of the support shell 1 can be designed as an arc shape, and the top can be designed as a crescent shape that is concave downwards.

[0048] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 4 As shown, one end of the aforementioned support shell 1 is provided with an upwardly extending limiting portion 17 along its edge line.

[0049] In the above implementation scheme, during use, the limiting part 17 fits against the front of the patient's chin to limit movement and prevent the support shell 1 from shifting.

[0050] In this embodiment, the use of the support shell 1 includes at least the following two forms:

[0051] ①For example Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the aforementioned support shell 1 is provided with a hand-held part 3.

[0052] In this solution ①, when using the device, the patient holds the handle 3 and fits the support shell 1 against (wraps) the chin. The handle 3 can be an L-shaped handle or a ring-shaped component.

[0053] ②For example Figure 6 As shown, the above-mentioned support shell 1 is provided with connecting straps 4 on both sides, and the end of the connecting strap 4 away from the support shell 1 is provided with an ear loop 41.

[0054] In this scheme ②, the design of the connecting straps 4 on both sides and the ear loops 41 allows the ear cover 1 to be hung on the patient's ears for wearing, freeing up their hands and making it more convenient to use.

[0055] In this embodiment, the end of the connecting strap 4 that is connected to the support shell 1 is divided into two sub-strips, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the support shell 1 on the corresponding side. This makes the pull of the connecting strap 4 on the support shell 1 more stable, so that the support shell 1 can fit tightly against the chin.

[0056] It is particularly important to emphasize that in the description of the chin cooling device in this embodiment, the refrigeration unit 2 is described using terms such as "center," "longitudinal," "transverse," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential," which indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.
