Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tumor radiotherapy technology, specifically relating to a head, neck and shoulder positioning auxiliary device. Background Technology

[0002] Radiotherapy for head and neck tumors is a common treatment for these tumors. This treatment uses high-energy radiation to kill tumor cells, reducing or eliminating the size and number of tumors. In order to minimize the radiation to normal tissues while irradiating the tumor, the radiation dose to the tumor area should be increased as much as possible, especially the dose to the skin when the tumor invades the skin. Precise tumor localization cannot be performed when the patient cannot remain still. Localization and fixation are the weakest links in tumor treatment.

[0003] Traditional head and neck tumor localization uses thermoplastic film, which has good plasticity and light transmittance. However, its disadvantage is that for some special patients, such as elderly patients with poor lung function, patients with claustrophobia, or patients whose neck tumors have invaded the skin, it is necessary to open the eyes and nostrils, and add a compensating film to the skin to increase the skin dose, thus affecting the functionality of the head, neck and shoulder localization auxiliary device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a head, neck and shoulder positioning auxiliary device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A head, neck, and shoulder positioning aid, comprising:

[0007] Fixed base;

[0008] Abutting seat, which is disposed at the top of the fixed seat.

[0009] Preferably, the abutment seat is provided with a plurality of limiting rods on its exterior, and a thermoplastic film is fixedly connected to the exterior of the abutment seat.

[0010] Preferably, the thermoplastic film has ventilation holes on its exterior, multiple irradiation holes on its exterior, and multiple compensation films fastened to its exterior.

[0011] Preferably, the irradiation holes are circular slots, and the irradiation holes are evenly distributed on the outside of the thermoplastic film.

[0012] Preferably, the compensation film is fastened to the groove of the thermoplastic film by a movable buckle, the vent hole is a circular groove, and the abutment seat is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed seat by a limiting plug.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention, through the design of an abutment seat, a limiting rod, a thermoplastic film, and vent holes, allows the vent holes, located on the outside of the thermoplastic film, to expose the patient's mouth and nose, thereby increasing the patient's comfort after wearing it. Furthermore, the convenient fastening operation of the compensation film on the outside of the thermoplastic film enables treatment operations for patients in different situations, thus ensuring both patient comfort and the radiation dose for skin tumors.

[0015] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the present invention.

[0016] In the diagram: 1. Fixing seat; 2. Abutting seat; 3. Limiting rod; 4. Thermoplastic film; 5. Ventilation hole; 6. Irradiation hole; 7. Compensation film. Detailed Implementation

[0017] 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.

[0018] Example 1:

[0019] Please see Figure 1 As shown, a head, neck, and shoulder positioning aid includes:

[0020] Fixture 1;

[0021] A mating seat 2 is located at the top of the fixed seat 1. Multiple limiting rods 3 are provided on the outside of the mating seat 2. A thermoplastic film 4 is fixedly connected to the outside of the mating seat 2. A vent hole 5 and multiple irradiation holes 6 are provided on the outside of the thermoplastic film 4. Multiple compensation films 7 are fastened to the outside of the thermoplastic film 4. The irradiation holes 6 are circular slots and are evenly distributed on the outside of the thermoplastic film 4. The compensation films 7 are fastened to the slots of the thermoplastic film 4 by movable buckles. The vent hole 5 is a circular slot. The mating seat 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed seat 1 by the limiting rods 3.

[0022] Specifically, multiple limiting rods 3 are provided on the outside of the abutment seat 2. The thermoplastic film 4 can be fixedly installed on the outside of the fixing seat 1 through the limiting rods 3.
