Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical care products, and in particular to an underarm ice pack. Background Technology
[0002] Applying ice can slow the release of histamine, reducing tissue sensitivity to pain; reduce exudation and swelling in the microcirculation and surrounding tissues; decrease the activity of vascular endothelial cells and thrombus formation; and reduce the release of oxygen free radicals. When using ice packs to lower the temperature of postoperative patients with fever, or to physically reduce fever in patients with colds and fever, the ice pack is usually placed under the patient's armpit, where nerves and blood vessels are relatively concentrated, which can accelerate the cooling process.
[0003] Existing ice packs generally consist of a bag and a refrigerant filling it. When placed under the armpit, the patient needs to hold it with their arm. Because the temperature of the ice pack is very low, usually below 0°C, prolonged use can easily cause frostbite to the armpit skin. Often, a towel or clothing needs to be wrapped around the skin before contact to lower the surface temperature. Furthermore, when patients experience fever, coma, or weakness in their limbs and are unable to actively hold the ice pack, an underarm ice pack strap is needed to secure it in place. However, the straps of existing underarm ice packs are prone to slipping off. Therefore, a new type of underarm ice pack is needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an underarm ice pack that solves the technical problem that the straps of existing underarm ice packs are prone to slipping off when worn.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. However, it should be noted that many details listed in the specification are merely to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of one or more aspects of this utility model, and these aspects can be achieved even without these specific details.
[0024] like Figure 1As shown, an underarm ice pack includes a first receiving bag 1 and an ice pack 17. The first receiving bag 1 has a receiving cavity 18 in the middle, and the ice pack 17 is placed inside the receiving cavity 18. The receiving cavity 18 is used to hold the ice pack 17. A second receiving bag 2 is provided on the inner side wall of the first receiving bag 1. A temperature sensor 3 is provided inside the second receiving bag 2 to facilitate medical personnel in monitoring the temperature of the surface of the first receiving bag 1 in contact with the patient's underarm skin. A second cap 25 is provided on one side of the top of the second receiving bag 2. One side of the second cap 25 is connected to the outer side wall of the second receiving bag 2 via Velcro, facilitating the later inspection, maintenance, or replacement of the temperature sensor 3. A first fixing device is connected to the upper left edge of the first receiving bag 1. The upper right edge of the receiving bag 1 is connected to a second fixing strap 8 and a fourth fixing strap 9, respectively. The first fixing strap 4 is connected to the second fixing strap 8, and after the first fixing strap 4 is connected to the second fixing strap 8, it is hung on the patient's shoulder above the ice pack. The third fixing strap 5 is connected to the fourth fixing strap 9, and after the third fixing strap 5 is connected to the fourth fixing strap 9, it is hung on the patient's other shoulder to strengthen the fixation of the ice pack under the patient's armpit and prevent slippage. A controller 6 and an alarm 7 are respectively set on the first fixing strap 4. The controller 6 is connected to the temperature sensor 3 and the alarm 7 respectively. When the temperature of the surface of the first receiving bag 1 in contact with the patient's armpit skin is too high or too low, the alarm 7 will sound an alarm.
[0025] In this invention, one end of the first fixing strap 4 is connected to the first receiving bag 1, and a first Velcro 10 is provided on one side of the other end of the first fixing strap 4. One end of the second fixing strap 8 is connected to the first receiving bag 1, and a first Velcro 11 is provided on one side of the other end of the second fixing strap 8. The first Velcro 11 and the first Velcro 10 are attached together. Anti-slip layers 12 are respectively provided on the inner sidewalls of the first fixing strap 4 and the second fixing strap 8. By attaching the first Velcro 10 on the first fixing strap 4 and the first Velcro 11 on the second fixing strap 8, the ice pack can be easily hung on the patient's shoulder. The anti-slip layers 12 on the inner sidewalls of the first fixing strap 4 and the second fixing strap 8 increase the friction between the fixing straps and the patient, preventing the fixing straps from slipping off.
[0026] In this invention, one end of the fourth fixing strap 9 is connected to the first receiving bag 1, and the other end of the fourth fixing strap 9 is provided with a connecting buckle 13. One end of the third fixing strap 5 is connected to the first receiving bag 1, and the other end of the third fixing strap 5 is adapted to the connecting buckle 13. By connecting the third fixing strap 5 and the fourth fixing strap 9 with the connecting buckle 13, the appropriate length can be adjusted according to the patient to meet actual needs. In addition, hanging the connected third fixing strap 5 and the fourth fixing strap 9 on the patient's other shoulder can strengthen the fixation of the ice pack and prevent slippage.
[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, a second Velcro 14 is provided on the outer side wall of the upper end of the first receiving bag 1, a first cap 15 is provided on one side of the top of the first receiving bag 1, and a second Velcro 16 is provided on one side of the first cap 15. The second Velcro 16 and the second Velcro 14 are attached to each other. By setting the second Velcro 16 and the second Velcro 14, the first cap 15 is attached to the outer side wall of the first receiving bag 1, preventing the ice pack 17 in the receiving cavity 18 from falling out.
[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the first containing bag 1 is configured with a waterproof layer 19 and a covering layer 20 from the inside out. Water droplets will appear on the outer surface of the ice pack. The waterproof layer 19 is used to prevent water droplets from seeping out and to avoid the ice pack becoming wet. The covering layer 20 is made of polyester fabric, which is strong and durable and can be reused. A frostbite prevention layer 21 is provided between the waterproof layer 19 and the covering layer 20. The frostbite prevention layer 21 is used to indirectly contact the patient's armpit skin with the low temperature bag body to avoid frostbite to the patient's armpit skin due to prolonged ice application. The frostbite prevention layer 21 is made of non-woven fabric. The waterproof layer 19 and the frostbite prevention layer 21 are connected by adhesive, and the covering layer 20 is connected to the frostbite prevention layer 21 by adhesive. The first cap 15 is attached to the covering layer.
[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the inner side of the waterproof layer 19 is provided with an OPP colored film 22, and the outer side of the waterproof layer 19 is provided with an EPE aluminized film 23. The use of an EPE aluminized film provides both excellent heat insulation and moisture protection, and also increases the strength of the aluminum film. EPE foam 24 is placed between the OPP colored film 22 and the EPE aluminized film 23. The EPE foam 24 is non-toxic and odorless. The EPE aluminized film 23 is connected to the anti-freezing layer 21 with an adhesive. The waterproof layer 19 effectively isolates water droplets from the ice pack, preventing them from seeping into the covering layer. After use, a gentle wipe of the waterproof layer 19 leaves it clean.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
