Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of otological nursing technology, and in particular to a nursing device for postoperative otological patients. Background Technology
[0002] When ear diseases occur, ear surgery is required. After surgery, the affected ear needs to be disinfected and bandaged to ensure the wound is not contaminated. However, due to the ear's unique location, postoperative bandaging makes it extremely inconvenient for patients to sleep, which is detrimental to the postoperative care and recovery of ear patients.
[0003] Currently, existing technologies generally use U-shaped pillows or hollow ring pillows. However, in actual use, these pillows have a rather rigid structure. Since patients' heads vary in size, the empty parts of these pillows, while able to avoid interfering with the patient's ears to some extent, still have significant limitations in providing a good head support and can still affect the patient's sleep. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide a postoperative care device for ear patients, addressing the issue that existing U-shaped or hollow ring pillows are too rigid in structure. Furthermore, the varying sizes of patients' heads mean that while the empty space in these pillows can prevent interference with the patient's ears to some extent, their effectiveness as a headrest is limited and can still negatively impact the patient's sleep.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A postoperative care device for ear patients includes a main pillow and a secondary pillow. A connecting mechanism is provided between the bottoms of the main pillow and the secondary pillow. The gap between the main pillow and the secondary pillow forms a care groove. A neck pillow is fixed to the side of the main pillow away from the secondary pillow. The connecting mechanism includes a first base plate and a second base plate. The first base plate is fixed to the bottom of the main pillow, and the second base plate is fixed to the bottom of the secondary pillow.
