Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a cold compress auxiliary device. Background Technology

[0002] In clinical intravenous infusions, nearly 80% of patients receiving intravenous injections develop phlebitis of varying degrees. Cold compresses are often used to treat phlebitis. Cold compresses are a physical method that uses a physical agent cooler than body temperature to stimulate the injured area, effectively preventing phlebitis. When the body experiences the cold stimulus, peripheral and deep receptors are excited. This excitation of cold-sensitive neurons increases the excitability of the heat-generating center and decreases the excitability of the heat-dissipating center, causing vasoconstriction, slowing blood flow, and reducing blood volume. This reduces the stimulation of the venous endothelium by the medication, preventing phlebitis. Vasoconstriction also reduces capillary permeability and exudation, alleviating congestion and tissue swelling, eliminating redness, swelling, and burning sensations associated with phlebitis, and promoting healing. Furthermore, local hypoxia caused by vasoconstriction reduces cell metabolism, inhibits cell activity, and decreases the sensitivity of nerve endings, thereby alleviating pain caused by phlebitis. In clinical practice, ice is usually wrapped in a towel and held by a family member to prevent it from shifting. However, when the patient is not accompanied, the cold compress time is often insufficient due to rest, activity, or intravenous infusion. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, one objective of the present invention is to provide a cold compress auxiliary device that is convenient and efficient to use.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a cold compress auxiliary device, the cold compress auxiliary device includes a sleeve body, both ends of the sleeve body are provided with put-on and take-off openings, and both ends of the sleeve body are respectively provided with a first tightening part and a second tightening part at the put-on and take-off openings, the sleeve body is provided with an ice pack placement part and a limiting part for restricting the position of the ice pack, and the sleeve body is also provided with a timing device.

[0005] Preferably, the sleeve body includes an inner layer and an outer layer made of waterproof material, the inner layer and the outer layer forming a double-layer structure, and a zipper is provided on one side of the outer layer along the circumferential direction of the sleeve body.

[0006] Preferably, the ice pack placement section includes a storage cavity formed between the inner layer and the outer layer for placing ice packs.

[0007] Preferably, the limiting part includes a first adhesive member disposed on the inner layer near the outer layer and a second adhesive member disposed on the outer layer near the inner layer, wherein the first adhesive member and the second adhesive member are bonded together.

[0008] Preferably, the timing device includes a timer disposed on the surface layer.

[0009] With the above structure, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0010] This application ensures the sleeve fits snugly under different activity states through the design of the first and second tightening parts. The double-layer structure provides storage space for the ice pack, allowing for continuous cold compresses unaffected by the patient's rest, activity, or intravenous infusion, thus guaranteeing sufficient cold compress time and improving treatment efficacy. The inner and outer layers, made of waterproof materials, not only effectively prevent condensation from wetting clothing or bedding but also increase the sleeve's durability and ease of cleaning. The ice pack placement part allows users to flexibly place the ice pack as needed, while the limiting part fixes the ice pack's position, preventing it from moving during cold compresses, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the cold compress, and avoiding the problem of ice cubes easily shifting in traditional cold compress methods. No manual support is required, and the introduction of a timer device allows for precise control of the cold compress process. The cold compress duration can be set according to medical advice or personal comfort, ensuring maximum treatment efficacy.

[0011] The above overview is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be limiting in any way. In addition to the illustrative aspects, embodiments, and features described above, further aspects, embodiments, and features of the present invention will become readily apparent from the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description.

[0017] Combined with appendix Figure 1 A cold compress auxiliary device includes a sleeve body. The sleeve body has two openings at both ends, and a first tightening part 2 and a second tightening part 3 are respectively provided at the openings at both ends. The user can easily put on and take off the sleeve body on the arm through the openings at both ends, and use the first tightening part 2 and the second tightening part 3 to fix the sleeve body on the user's arm and maintain its position. The sleeve body has an ice pack placement part and a limiting part to restrict the position of the ice pack. The sleeve body also has a timing device 6.

[0018] The first tightening part 2 and the second tightening part 3 can be made of elastic materials, such as elastic cloth or rubber bands, to ensure that the sleeve can fit tightly to the skin and prevent slippage or falling off during the cold compress process.

[0019] The sleeve body includes an inner layer 4 and an outer layer 1 made of waterproof material, such as waterproof nylon or PVC coated fabric, to prevent condensation or moisture from melting ice packs from wetting clothing or bedding. The inner layer 4 and the outer layer 1 form a double-layer structure. A zipper 5 is provided on one side of the outer layer 1 along the circumferential direction of the sleeve body, allowing users to easily open or close the sleeve body to place or remove ice packs.
