Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of braking pillow technology, specifically a head braking pillow after thyroid surgery. Background Technology
[0002] The post-thyroidectomy head immobilization pillow is a specially designed auxiliary rehabilitation device for patients after thyroid surgery. Its main function is to protect the surgical site by limiting the range of motion of the patient's head, reducing neck movement and vibration, avoiding unnecessary pressure and friction on the wound, promoting wound healing, and reducing pain and discomfort.
[0003] However, existing post-thyroidectomy head immobilization pillows have the following drawbacks:
[0004] (1) Existing head immobilization pillows after thyroid surgery have weak adjustment function. Traditional immobilization pillows have fixed height and angle support, which are difficult to adjust. However, different patients have different needs, which makes the device limited and reduces the comfort of patients.
[0005] (2) Existing head immobilization pillows after thyroid surgery have a weak function in improving rehabilitation. Because traditional immobilization pillows do not have a mechanism to limit the patient's head, if the patient's head moves unconsciously, it will reduce the efficiency of rehabilitation. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a head immobilization pillow after thyroid surgery to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a post-thyroidectomy head immobilization pillow, comprising: a pillow body, an inflation component, and a replacement component.

A second female hook and loop fastener is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second elastic cord.
[0009] Optionally, an anti-slip pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pillow body. The anti-slip pad is made of rubber. The anti-slip pad can prevent the bottom of the device from shifting when the patient uses the device.
[0010] Optionally, the end of the connecting tube away from the air cushion is provided with a delivery port, and the number of delivery ports is three, so that the three airbags can be inflated separately.
[0011] Optionally, three delivery ports are connected between the first airbag, the second airbag, and the third airbag, respectively, with the three delivery ports corresponding to the first airbag, the second airbag, and the third airbag.
[0012] Optionally, there are two first elastic cords and two second elastic cords. The arrangement of two first elastic cords and two second elastic cords can make the patient's head more stable.
[0013] Optionally, the number of zippers is two, which makes it easier to disassemble the device.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. This post-thyroidectomy head immobilization pillow, through the setting of the inflation component, allows for the inflation of the first, second, and third airbags by opening and closing the first, second, and third control valves. By inflating different airbags, the head support height and angle can be precisely adjusted to meet the individualized needs of different patients. This improves the device's adjustability and avoids the limitations of traditional immobilization pillows, where the height and angle support are fixed and difficult to adjust, leading to different patient needs and reduced patient comfort.
[0016] 2. This post-thyroidectomy head immobilization pillow, through the design of interchangeable components, connects the neck pillow and the support pad by attaching the first female Velcro strap to the first female Velcro strap during use. The neck pillow provides support for the patient's neck. The zipper allows the immobilization pillow to be disassembled and its internal materials removed for cleaning. After the patient's head is placed on the immobilization pillow, the first and second elastic cords are wrapped around the patient's head, causing the second female Velcro strap to attach to the second female Velcro strap. This stabilizes the patient's head position and prevents displacement, thereby improving the rehabilitation effect. This avoids the situation with traditional immobilization pillows that lack a head-limiting mechanism, where the patient's head may move unconsciously, leading to reduced rehabilitation efficiency.
