Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a mattress for oral cancer patients after surgery in a hospital ward, belonging to the field of medical equipment technology. Background Technology
[0002] Patients with oral cancer, including tongue cancer, often experience pain and difficulty moving their arms, torso, and head in the ward after surgical resection during subsequent treatment and monitoring. This can also cause bleeding from the surgical site, which is not only detrimental to the patient's treatment and recovery but also constantly stains the bed sheets with blood, making it difficult to clean and disinfect the bed sheets and surrounding bedding after the patient is discharged.
[0003] Existing technologies disclose many specialized disposable mattresses that address some of the aforementioned problems. For example, utility model patent application number CN202121033495.X discloses a multifunctional mattress for thrombectomy, comprising a support pad, wrist restraint straps, knee restraint straps, and a headrest. The support pad has a rectangular structure; the upper half of the support pad has a pair of elongated first holes on each side; two wrist restraint straps are respectively located on the two pairs of first holes, passing through the bottom of the gap between the two first holes and being movably connected at both ends; the lower half of the support pad has a pair of elongated second holes on each side; two knee restraint straps are respectively located on the two pairs of second holes, with knee positioning holes on each knee restraint strap, passing through the bottom of the gap between the two second holes and being movably connected at both ends; the bottom of the headrest is movably engaged with the upper surface of the head end of the support pad. This device can stably restrain the patient's limbs, improving the accuracy of medical personnel's operations and increasing the success rate of surgery.
[0004] For example, utility model patent application number CN202020167905.9 discloses a blood drainage mattress for obstetric surgery. It includes a mattress body with flow-blocking ribs embedded in its top. A drainage hole is located on the top of the mattress body near the flow-blocking ribs, and a drainage groove is located on the top of the mattress body near the drainage hole. A filter screen is sewn onto the inner wall of one side of the drainage hole. This blood drainage mattress for obstetric surgery, through a retractable waterproof membrane, can protect the bed mattress after it is laid out, preventing blood from contaminating the mattress during obstetric surgery. The flow-blocking ribs on the mattress body can block blood, and with the cooperation of the drainage hole and drainage groove, the blood is drained into a drainage hopper. A third drain pipe then drains the blood out of the mattress body and into the mattress seat, achieving blood drainage and collection.
[0005] The two patent documents mentioned above address the issues of restraint on the patient's arm and blood drainage, respectively, but neither can comprehensively solve the problem addressed in this application. Furthermore, the existing technologies address issues of limb restraint and blood contamination during the short surgical period, using disposable mattresses that can be discarded after surgery. However, since oral cancer patients typically require several to over ten days of post-operative hospitalization, far exceeding the surgical duration, replacing a contaminated mattress within a single hospital stay would be prohibitively costly. Moreover, the replacement process would require the patient to be placed in a separate bed, causing significant discomfort for those who have just undergone surgery and wasting considerable time and effort for medical staff. Utility Model Content
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to design a multifunctional mattress that can provide necessary restraint for the body of a patient who has undergone oral cancer surgery in a hospital bed, while also preventing the sheets and padding below from being contaminated with blood, and extending the time the patient can use the mattress as much as possible.
[0007] To address the above problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows:
[0008] A postoperative mattress for oral cancer patients in a hospital ward includes a leak-proof layer and a fixing strap for securing it to a bed board. It also includes a fabric panel for restraining the chest, abdomen, and arms, and two filling bags that work with filling material to restrict head rotation. One side of the fabric panel is a fixed side, and the other side is a removable temporary connecting side. The fixed side is fixed to the right side of the mattress, and the temporary connecting side is connected to the left side of the mattress. The two filling bags are located on the left and right sides of the headrest of the mattress, respectively, and are filled with removable filling material.
[0009] The connector includes a connecting piece fixed to the right side of the mattress, a Velcro closure 1 on the connecting piece, and a Velcro closure 2 on the temporary connecting side of the fabric panel that can be bonded to the Velcro closure 1.
[0010] The connector includes a first strap fixed to the right side of the mattress and a second strap located on the temporary connection side of the fabric panel that can be knotted and connected to the first strap.
[0011] Between the two filling bags, in the patient's neck area, there is a moisture-absorbing bag that can be filled and replaced with absorbent material to absorb blood.
[0012] Both filling bags have longitudinally arranged elastic straps for securing the padding towels draped over the two filling bags on both sides.
[0013] The mattress also has a cotton layer on top and a leak-proof layer on the bottom.
[0014] The opening of the filling bag is at the top of the filling bag. Beneficial effects
[0015] It can provide necessary restraint to the patient's body; keep the patient dry and comfortable at all times; the mattress can be used by a patient for more than ten days and can generally be used until discharge before being discarded; it is inexpensive and easy to use.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0022] Example 1
[0023] like Figure 1As shown in Figure 3, a postoperative mattress for oral cancer patients in a hospital ward includes a leak-proof layer 101 and a fixing strap 2 for securing it to the bed board. It also includes a fabric panel 3 for binding the chest, abdomen, and arms, and two filling bags 5 that work with the filling material to restrict head movement. One side of the fabric panel 3 is a fixed side, and the other side is a removable temporary connection side. The fixed side is fixed to the right side of the mattress 1, and the temporary connection side is connected to the left side of the mattress 1. The two filling bags 5 are located on the left and right sides of the headrest of the mattress 1, respectively, and are filled with removable filling material. The fabric panel 3 is used to restrain and cover the patient's upper torso, allowing the patient's arms and hands to be restrained. Its advantages include a large contact area, greater comfort than traditional strap-type restraints, reduced patient fear and resistance, and enhanced warmth for the chest and abdomen. The removable filling material in the two filling bags 5 allows the filling material to be reused by the next patient, avoiding waste, while the mattress 1 is discarded after the user's discharge. The filling material can be a flexible sponge or a sandbag, etc.
[0024] The settings on the left and right sides described above can be interchanged.
[0025] The connector includes a connecting piece 4 fixed to the right side of the mattress 1, a Velcro 401 on the connecting piece 4, and a Velcro 301 on the temporary connecting side of the fabric panel 3 that can be bonded to the Velcro 401. When restraining the patient's upper torso and arms, the Velcro 401 and the Velcro 301 can be bonded together.
[0026] Between the two filling bags 5, in the area below the patient's neck, there is an absorbent bag 6 that can be filled with absorbent material and replaced to absorb blood and fluid. This allows the absorbent material to absorb any fluids such as blood, medication, or sweat that may seep from the wound in the days following surgery, keeping the area below the patient's head dry. The absorbent material can be replaced after it has absorbed enough moisture.
[0027] Both filling bags 5 have longitudinally arranged elastic binding straps 7, which are used to bind the pads 8 that are draped over the two filling bags 5 on both sides, so that the pads can be easily replaced after they are soiled.
[0028] The opening 501 of the filling bag 5 is located at the top of the filling bag 5 to ensure that the filling material will not be soiled during application, filling, and removal.
[0029] The mattress 1 also has a cotton weave layer 102, with the cotton weave layer 102 on top and the leak-proof layer 101 on the bottom. This ensures that it is not permeable to water and also ensures that the patient feels comfortable against the skin.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] like Figure 4As shown, the connector includes a first strap 402 fixed to the right side of the mattress 1 and a second strap 302 located on the temporary connection side of the fabric panel 3, which can be knotted and connected to the first strap 402. When restraining the patient's upper torso and arms, the first strap 402 and the second strap 302 can be knotted and connected.
[0032] The above embodiments are only for explaining this utility model. Any improvements or modifications made by others without departing from the principle of this utility model should be considered to fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
