Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nursing chest strap technology, specifically to a fixed chest strap. Background Technology
[0002] A cardiothoracic surgery fixation chest band is a type of bandage used on patients who have undergone cardiothoracic surgery. It usually consists of multiple straps and covering gauze. Thoracic surgery often disrupts the integrity of the rib cage. The chest band can fix the sternal bones, reduce chest movement and bone movement at the affected area, thereby helping to close the wound neatly and promote the healing process.
[0003] Traditional nursing chest bandages are typically applied by wrapping the bandage around the patient's chest wound and securing it with Velcro on both sides. However, because this method of wrapping and securing is so simple, the bandage must be completely unwrapped before procedures such as changing dressings can be performed. This can easily lead to deformation of the stabilized chest bones and wound, affecting the recovery process. Utility Model Content

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0023] See Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a fixed chest strap, including four longitudinal support plates 1. The four longitudinal support plates 1 are designed with two in front and two in the back. The upper and lower ends of the four longitudinal support plates 1 are all surrounded by a fixing strap 2. There are two fixing adjustment straps 3 between the two rear longitudinal support plates 1 for adjusting the spacing. There are also fixing adjustment straps 3 between the two ends of the two fixing straps 2 for adjusting the spacing. The front and rear longitudinal support plates 1 are connected by side straps 6. There are two front straps 7 that can be opened or closed between the two front longitudinal support plates 1.
[0024] As an optional implementation, elastic bands 201 are provided on both sides of the curved section of the fixing band 2. The upper and lower ends of the four longitudinal support plates 1 are fixedly connected with inserts 4 sleeved on the outside of the fixing band 2. By passing the fixing band 2 through the four inserts 4 in sequence, the ends of the four longitudinal support plates 1 can be contracted and fixed. At the same time, when the fixing band 2 is pulled, the elastic bands 201 on both sides stretch elastically, and the elastic contraction of the elastic bands 201 can achieve a tightening and fixing effect. The inserts 4 can prevent the fixing band 2, which is fixed around the fixed band, from shifting.
[0025] Furthermore, there are two side straps 6 on each side, one above the other, and the two ends of the two side straps 6 are fixedly connected to the longitudinal support plates 1 at the front and rear, respectively. The width of the side straps 6 is 7-10cm, and the side straps 6 are made of elastic material. By setting the side straps 6 of elastic material, when the two longitudinal support plates 1 at the rear are pulled closer to each other, the side straps 6 on the left and right sides will stretch elastically. After being fixed by the fixing adjustment straps 3, under the elastic tension of the side straps 6, the four longitudinal support plates 1 are close to the body surface, improving the wrapping fixation effect. At the same time, the width of 7-10cm can cover a large area of the waist and armpit skin, improving the fixation effect.
[0026] Reference Figure 3As shown, the fixed adjustment belt 3 includes two belt bodies 301 (the two belt bodies 301 located at the ends of the fixed belt 2 are fixedly connected to their respective ends, and the two belt bodies 301 located between the two rear longitudinal support plates 1 are fixedly connected to their respective opposite surfaces). One belt body 301 has two hooks 302 fixedly connected to its end, and the other belt body 301 has several fixing holes 303 through which the hooks 302 are hung. When the two ends of the fixed belt 2 need to be pulled and fixed, the two belt bodies 301 are pulled closer to each other at the same time, and then the two hooks 302 are hung in the fixing holes 303 at the appropriate positions, so as to realize the tightening and fixing of the fixed belt 2 around the four longitudinal support plates 1 and the body surface.
[0027] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the opposite ends of the two front straps 7 are fixedly connected to the two front longitudinal support plates 1. The opposite ends of the two front straps 7 are fixedly connected to movable belts 5. Each of the two front longitudinal support plates 1 is provided with a sliding connector for moving the movable belts 5 up and down. Both the movable belts 5 and the longitudinal support plates 1 are made of plastic. Slide grooves 8 are provided through the upper and lower sides of the front longitudinal support plates 1. I-shaped sliders 9 are slidably connected to each of the two slide grooves 8, and the I-shaped sliders 9 are fixedly connected to the ends of the movable belts 5. By moving the two movable belts 5 in opposite directions, the I-shaped sliders 9 at the ends of the movable belts 5 slide in the slide grooves 8. (Since the longitudinal support plate 1 drives the I-shaped slider 9 to fit tightly against the skin, force can be applied to slightly lift the longitudinal support plate 1 and then move the I-shaped slider 9). After being pulled to the appropriate position, the wound is exposed, which is convenient for wound care and dressing changes. At the same time, the fastening force of the four longitudinal support plates 1 remains unchanged, and the chest strap is not disassembled during the dressing change and care process. When the I-shaped slider 9 is not moved, it fits tightly against the skin under the clamping action of the longitudinal support plate 1, preventing it from shaking randomly. The plastic longitudinal support plate 1 and the movable strap 5 can have a certain degree of deformation ability when it fits tightly against the body surface, which is convenient for better fitting the skin surface and achieving a better circumferential fixation effect.
[0028] Specifically, the height of both front harness straps 7 is 10-15cm, which allows the front harness straps 7 to achieve the best large-area fixation effect on the body surface.
[0029] The working principle of this utility model:
[0030] When using the chest band, place the two front longitudinal support plates 1 on both sides of the chest, and then place the two rear longitudinal support plates 1 on both sides of the back. At this time, the two front support straps 7 are located in front of the chest, and the two side support straps 6 are wrapped around the sides of the body. The two rear longitudinal support plates 1 are brought closer together and tightened and fixed by the two fixing adjustment straps 3. Then, the two fixing straps 2 are inserted and wrapped around the four inserts 4 respectively and tightened and fixed by the fixing adjustment straps 3. At this time, the two fixing straps 2 are located at the upper and lower ends of the longitudinal support plates 1 respectively, thus completing the fixation of the chest band. When it is necessary to change the dressing, the wound can be exposed by opening the two front support straps 7 in opposite directions, which is convenient for dressing change and care. At the same time, the tightening force of the four longitudinal support plates 1 remains unchanged, and the chest band should not be removed during the dressing change and care process.
[0031] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
