Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, and specifically relates to an abdominal binder for use after cesarean section. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most medical abdominal binders on the market adopt a "three-piece, six-band" structure or a simple piece-band structure. However, because most postpartum women have a high body mass index (BMI), especially those who are overweight (BMI > 28 kg / m²), existing abdominal binders cannot effectively compress and fix the abdomen after surgery. During use, the elastic bands on both sides of the body often curl up, easily causing pressure injuries to the skin. Furthermore, postpartum recovery measures are generally implemented quickly after cesarean sections, allowing for free movement in bed. However, the postoperative incision sandbag needs to be applied for 4-6 hours. When the mother turns over or to her side, due to her weight and the size of the abdominal binder, existing binders cannot properly secure the sandbag, causing it to easily slip off, affecting the mother's normal treatment and recovery.
[0003] Furthermore, the cesarean section incision is located 2-4 cm above the pubic symphysis, a relatively concealed location. During the recovery process, the soft abdominal muscles often sag, easily obscuring the incision and leaving it in a "deep groove," preventing it from being fully exposed. Because postpartum women sweat profusely, sweat and tissue fluid can easily accumulate in this "deep groove" and cannot be drained in time, increasing the infection rate of the surgical incision. It is necessary for the mother or her family to manually tighten the soft abdominal muscles to fully expose the surgical incision, but this is extremely uncomfortable for the mother and seriously affects her normal recovery and wound healing.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need to design an abdominal binder for post-cesarean section that can effectively solve the above problems and defects. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes an abdominal binder for use after cesarean section. This binder allows the incision to be fully exposed and kept dry after the cesarean section, making it easier for medical staff to observe the condition of the incision. At the same time, the tightening bandage around the incision opening supports and binds the soft abdominal flesh around the incision, preventing it from covering the incision and causing sweat to be unable to escape and thus causing infection, which is conducive to the healing of the incision after surgery.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is:
[0007] This utility model proposes an abdominal binder for use after cesarean section, including a strip-shaped main body, the two ends of the main body being detachably connected along its length.
[0008] The main body of the belt has a window opening opposite to the cesarean section incision, and a tightening bandage is set on the outer periphery of the window opening. The tightening bandage is fixedly connected to the main body of the belt.
[0009] Preferably, the window opening is located at the center of the width direction of the belt body, and is arranged near one end of the belt body in the length direction.
[0010] Preferably, the cross-section of the window opening is rectangular, with a length between 17 and 23 cm and a width between 5 and 7 cm;
[0011] The tightening band is in the shape of a rectangular frame that matches the window opening, and the width of the frame is between 3 and 5 cm.
[0012] Preferably, the front of one end of the main body is provided with at least one Velcro strip, and the back of the other end is provided with at least one Velcro hook strip.

[0014] The bag is provided with a cavity for storing sandbags and an opening for taking out and putting in the sandbags connected to the cavity.
[0015] Preferably, one end of the pouch is fixedly connected to the main body of the strap, and the other end is detachably connected to the main body of the strap.
[0016] Preferably, the back of the pocket end is provided with Velcro, and the front of the strap body is provided with a plurality of Velcro strips spaced apart along its length.
[0017] The Velcro mother is positioned close to the tightening bandage and is adapted to the Velcro daughter.
[0018] Preferably, the abdominal binder for postpartum cesarean section provided by this utility model also includes a support strap detachably connected to the main body of the binder, the support strap including two shoulder straps and a back strap connected thereto.
[0019] Preferably, one end of the shoulder strap is detachably connected to the main body of the strap, and the other end is connected to the back strap, wherein the back strap is detachably connected to the main body of the strap.
[0020] This utility model has the following advantages and effects compared with the prior art:
[0021] (1) A window opening is set opposite to the cesarean section incision and a tightening bandage is set around its edge. The tightening bandage can lift and tighten the soft abdominal flesh around the surgical incision, preventing it from sagging or accumulating near the surgical incision and covering the incision, so that the incision is fully exposed, which is conducive to the healing of the surgical incision, and at the same time, it is convenient for medical staff to check the condition of the incision.
[0022] (2) A pocket is used to cover the window opening and the surface of the tightening bandage. The pocket is provided with a cavity to facilitate the placement of pressure sandbags or Chinese medicine poultices. It is simple and convenient to use. One end of the pocket is detachably connected to the main body of the belt, so that it is easy to open the pocket and observe the wound recovery status through the window opening.
[0023] (3) The support belt is detachably connected to the main body of the belt, and the support belt includes the connected shoulder strap and back strap, which can effectively prevent the abdominal belt from shifting and slipping, relieve the pressure of the abdominal belt on the abdomen, and facilitate the mother's free movement during the recovery process.
