Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, and in particular to a postoperative support frame. Background Technology
[0002] After undergoing urethral surgery, penile surgery, or circumcision, men often experience painful erections of the external genitalia. Due to the sensitive nature of the external genitalia, without proper protection, the genitals can be rubbed by blankets or underwear, increasing the risk of infection, hindering wound healing, and increasing patient discomfort.
[0003] A postoperative support frame for urethral infection after urological surgery, with authorization announcement number CN211674807U, is disclosed, comprising a protective shell; a protective ring is placed inside the protective shell, and two straps A are connected to the protective shell, as well as a strap B. In use, the protective ring is placed over the patient's affected area, the two straps A are tied to the legs, and strap B is connected to underwear. While this prevents the blanket from touching or rubbing against the external genitalia, it still has the following drawbacks:
[0004] 1. Since the protective ring is fixed to the thigh by the strap A, when the patient curls up or changes from lying flat to a side position, the strap will pull the protective ring when pulled by the thigh. The protective ring can easily touch or rub against the external genitalia, increasing the patient's discomfort.
[0005] 2. Since the strap B is connected to the underwear, the crotch area of the underwear needs to be cut off to expose the external genitalia, so that the protective ring can be put on the external genitalia. This is more troublesome and damages the underwear, which is a waste of resources.
[0006] 3. When it is necessary to observe or change the dressing of the external genitalia, the protective ring needs to be removed from the external genitalia, which is a cumbersome procedure and reduces the work efficiency of medical staff. Utility Model Content
[0007] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a postoperative support frame, which effectively solves the problems of cumbersome operation and poor performance of existing postoperative protective devices for external genitalia.
[0008] The technical solution is as follows: This utility model includes a rectangular tube with an opening facing right. A waist constraint component is fixed to the left end of the rectangular tube. A support rod is slidably connected inside the rectangular tube. A positioning frame is fixed to the right end of the support rod. The positioning frame is an arc shape that bends downward on the right side. A protective cover is fixed to the front side of the positioning frame via a connecting strap. The protective cover can be fastened to the positioning frame. Multiple ventilation holes are provided on the protective cover.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0010] This utility model has a clever structure and is easy to use. It is equipped with a positioning frame, a protective cover, a support rod, a rectangular tube and a waist restraint component. It can fix the positioning frame and the protective cover to the patient's perineum, fix the dressing material covering the wound and prevent the dressing material from falling off. The protective cover can form a buffer layer between the wound and clothing or blankets, which can effectively prevent the wound from being accidentally bumped or rubbed even when the patient changes position. It can also isolate the external environment and avoid bacterial infection and contamination.
[0011] The installation of connecting straps and binding straps makes it easy to put on the positioning frame and protective cover, facilitating dressing changes for medical staff and improving work efficiency;
[0012] The design incorporates a rectangular tube, support rod, and limiting rod, making it suitable for patients of different body types and offering wide adaptability. A notch on the lower side of the positioning frame increases patient comfort in scrotal position. Multiple ventilation holes on the protective cover promote airflow, prevent stuffiness and inflammation, and facilitate wound healing. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] Depend on Figures 1 to 5 The device includes a rectangular tube 1 with its opening facing right. A waist restraint component is fixed to the left end of the rectangular tube 1. A support rod 2 is slidably connected inside the rectangular tube 1. A positioning frame 3 is fixed to the right end of the support rod 2. The positioning frame 3 is an arc shape that bends downward on the right side. A protective cover 4 is fixed to the front side of the positioning frame 3 via a connecting strap. The protective cover 4 can be fastened to the positioning frame 3. Multiple ventilation holes are provided on the protective cover 4.
[0020] In order to fix the positioning frame 3 to the patient's body, the waist restraint assembly includes a belt 5, a rectangular tube 1 fixedly connected to the belt 5, restraint straps 6 fixed on the left and right sides of the belt 5 respectively, a first hook and loop fastener 7 fixed on the free side of the front restraint strap 6, and a first hook and loop fastener 8 that can be bonded to the first hook and loop fastener 7 fixed on the free side of the rear restraint strap 6.
[0021] In order to limit the position of the support rod 2 inside the rectangular tube 1 and enable the protective cover 4 to better protect the patient's external genitalia, the support rod 2 is provided with multiple upward-facing limiting holes 9. A T-shaped limiting rod 10 is slidably connected to the rectangular tube 1. The stepped surface of the limiting rod 10 is connected to the rectangular tube 1 by a tension spring, and the lower end of the limiting rod 10 can be inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 9.
[0022] In order for the protective cover 4 to be fastened to the positioning frame 3, a second hook and loop fastener 11 is fixed on the outer surface of the protective cover 4, a strap 12 is fixed on the rear side of the positioning frame 3, and a second hook and loop fastener hook 13 that can be bonded to the second hook and loop fastener 11 is fixed on the inner side of the strap 12.
[0023] To increase patient comfort, the lower end of the positioning frame 3 is provided with a notch.
[0024] To increase patient comfort, the support rod 2, rectangular frame, protective cover 4 and positioning frame 3 are all made of plastic, and a skin-friendly fabric layer is fixed to the inner surface of the protective cover 4.
[0025] When this utility model is in use, the second hook and loop fastener 13 on the strap 12 is bonded to the second hook and loop fastener 11, that is, the protective cover 4 is fastened to the positioning frame 3, the lower end of the limiting rod 10 is inserted into the limiting groove, and the tension spring is in its initial state of not being stretched.
[0026] When genital protection is required, the positioning frame 3 is placed on the patient's perineum. The arc shape of the positioning frame 3 can position the dressing covering the wound and prevent it from slipping. At this time, the protective cover 4 is placed over the patient's exoskeleton. Adjust the length of the support rod 2 according to the patient's body shape, pull the limiting rod 10 upward, and the tension spring is stretched. After the lower end of the limiting rod 10 disengages from the limiting groove, move the rectangular tube 1 to the left or right. When the belt 5 is located at the patient's waist, stop moving the rectangular tube 1 and release it. The limiting rod 10, under the action of the tension spring, has its lower end inserted into the corresponding limiting groove, limiting the position of the support rod 2 and the rectangular tube 1. After the rear restraint strap 6 passes through from below the patient's waist, the first hook surface 7 and the first hook surface 8 on the two restraint straps 6 are glued together, thus fixing the protective cover 4 and the positioning frame 3 to the patient's perineum. The protective cover 4 provides support and protection for the external genitalia, providing a relatively safe environment for the wound, preventing the blanket from touching or rubbing the external genitalia, and increasing the patient's comfort.
[0027] If it is necessary to observe the wound or change the dressing, medical staff only need to first peel off the bandage 12 so that the second Velcro hook side 11 and the second Velcro hook side 13 are separated and glued. Then, first flip up the protective cover 4 to expose the external genitalia, and then perform dressing changes and other operations. After the dressing change is completed, fasten the protective cover 4 to the positioning frame 3 and fix it with the bandage 12. The operation is simple and improves the efficiency of dressing changes.
