Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, specifically to a head and neck radiation protection device for interventional surgery. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, radiation protection during interventional procedures primarily focuses on protecting the surgeon. Surgeons use lead-glass goggles, lead neck protectors, and lead aprons to block X-rays emitted from the DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography) tube, reducing radiation damage. However, both the patient and the surgeon are exposed to radiation. Because DSA X-rays are fan-shaped and reflect, proper protection of both the patient and surgeon is crucial to minimizing radiation harm. Unnecessary radiation damage occurs in non-surgical areas due to lack of protection. Surgeons undergoing interventional procedures are exposed to high-intensity radiation to the face for extended periods, increasing the risk of damage. This is especially true during abdominal and lower limb interventional procedures, where the head and neck areas are non-surgical, yet vital organs such as the brain and thyroid gland are exposed to unnecessary X-ray radiation, harming the patient's health. Furthermore, the lead neck protectors currently used are often lead aprons, which, when in use, directly press against the patient's or surgeon's head and neck, potentially causing discomfort over time.

[0003] Utility model patent CN203169204U discloses a radiation protection device for the head and neck of patients during interventional surgery and radiation protection for interventional physicians. It includes a lead glass cover with openings at the bottom and tail. A lead rubber pad is connected to the head of the lead glass cover via a hinge, and the lead rubber pad covers the bottom opening of the lead glass cover. It can avoid unnecessary radiation damage to the patient's head and neck during interventional surgeries on the abdomen, lower limbs, etc., without affecting interventional operations such as angiography in the surgical area. It can effectively block the radiation of X-rays and scattered rays emitted from the X-ray tube from all directions to the patient's head and neck. In this patent, it can provide a shield for the patient's head and face to avoid radiation, but for the top of the head and the back of the head without shielding, the rays that hit the ground will bounce back under the effect of reflection and still cause radiation to the back of the head of the patient and the doctor.
