Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of post-thyroid surgery recovery technology; more specifically, it relates to a head and neck post-thyroid surgery fixation pillow. Background Technology

[0002] The thyroid gland is located at the front of the neck. After surgery, there will be a wound at the surgical site. Moving the neck from side to side may cause the neck muscles to be pulled, and the wound will be subjected to additional tension, which will increase the risk of postoperative bleeding. Postoperative bleeding may not only cause local hematoma, affecting wound healing, but in severe cases, the hematoma may compress the trachea and cause life-threatening situations such as difficulty breathing.

[0003] Currently, some ordinary pillows in existing technology are not convenient for restricting the patient's neck from side to side. When the patient turns over unconsciously or the muscles are relaxed, the neck is prone to displacement, which may pull on the wound and cause bleeding or hematoma. Therefore, it is necessary to design a special fixation pillow for thyroid surgery to prevent the neck from moving from side to side and reduce the risk of postoperative bleeding. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a head and neck post-thyroid surgery fixation pillow to solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a head and neck post-thyroid surgery fixation pillow, comprising:

[0006] The main structure includes a support part and a headrest body, and the support part is provided in two sets, and the two sets of support parts are respectively fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both sides of the headrest body;

[0007] The limiting structure has two sets, and the limiting structure includes a contact layer and an inflation nozzle, and the two sets of contact layers are respectively fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two sides inside the headrest body.

[0008] Preferably, both sets of support parts and the lower surface of the headrest body are fixedly connected with anti-slip protrusions, and multiple sets of anti-slip protrusions are provided. The material of the multiple sets of anti-slip protrusions is rubber. By setting multiple sets of anti-slip protrusions, the friction between the lower surfaces of the two sets of support parts and the headrest body and the bed frame can be effectively improved.

[0009] Preferably, the headrest body is U-shaped with a concave center and convex sides, and the headrest body is made of slow rebound memory foam. The slow rebound memory foam headrest body can adaptively shape itself according to the curve of the patient's head, thereby dispersing pressure and avoiding local compression.

[0010] Preferably, the upper surface inside the headrest body is provided with a support groove, and a neck brace is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the front end of the headrest body. The neck brace is made of polyurethane foam. The neck brace can fit snugly against the back of the patient's neck, providing stable support for the patient's neck and is not easily deformed.

[0011] Preferably, the contact layer is made of medical-grade silicone, and an airbag is fixedly connected inside the contact layer. During use, the surfaces of the two sets of contact layers on opposite sides can fit against the sides of the patient's head. Medical-grade silicone has good elasticity, which can maximize the patient's comfort during use.

[0012] Preferably, the airbag has a hollow structure and is made of rubber.

[0013] Preferably, an inflation nozzle is fixedly connected to the inside of the airbag, and the inside of the inflation nozzle is connected to the inside of the airbag. The inflation nozzle is fixedly connected to the inside of the outer surface of one end of the contact layer. Air can be injected into the inside of the airbag through the inflation nozzle, causing it to expand, so that the two sets of airbags can be adjusted according to the size of the patient's head.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: By setting multiple sets of anti-slip protrusions, this utility model can effectively increase the friction between the two sets of support parts and the lower surface of the headrest body when in contact with the bed, thereby preventing the equipment from shifting during use. In addition, the setting of two sets of support parts can improve the stability of the headrest body during use and minimize the shaking of the headrest body. This design can improve the stability of the equipment during use to a certain extent.

[0015] In use, this invention utilizes an inflation device to inflate two sets of airbags through two sets of inflation nozzles, causing them to expand. As the airbags expand, they cause the two sets of contact layers to expand synchronously. This design allows medical personnel to adjust the size of the two sets of contact layers according to the patient's head size, thereby improving the applicability of the device to a certain extent.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a head and neck post-thyroidectomy fixation pillow, comprising: a main structure 1, which includes a support part 11 and a headrest body 12. The support part 11 is provided in two sets, and the two sets of support parts 11 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both sides of the headrest body 12. Anti-slip protrusions 15 are fixedly connected to the lower surfaces of both sets of support parts 11 and the headrest body 12, and multiple sets of anti-slip protrusions 15 are provided. The headrest body 12 is U-shaped with a concave center and convex sides, and is made of slow-rebound memory foam. A support groove 13 is formed on the upper surface inside the headrest body 12, and a neck support 14 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the front end of the headrest body 12. The neck support 14 is made of polyurethane foam. The multiple sets of anti-slip protrusions 15 can effectively improve the stability of the two sets of support parts 11 and the headrest body 12. The friction between the lower surface of the headrest 12 and the bed frame helps prevent displacement of the device during use. The two sets of support parts 11 enhance the stability of the headrest 12 during use, minimizing head movement and preventing wobbling. This design improves stability to some extent. The slow-rebound memory foam headrest 12 adapts to the curve of the patient's head, distributing pressure and preventing localized compression. The support grooves 13 effectively limit the patient's head movement, preventing displacement within them. The neck brace 14 conforms to the back of the patient's neck, providing stable support and resisting deformation.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment also proposes: a limiting structure 2, which has two sets, and includes a contact layer 21 and an inflation nozzle 23. The two sets of contact layers 21 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner surfaces of both sides of the headrest body 12. The contact layer 21 is made of medical silicone, and an airbag 22 is fixedly connected inside the contact layer 21. The airbag 22 has a hollow structure and is made of rubber. An inflation nozzle 23 is fixedly connected inside the airbag 22, and the interior of the inflation nozzle 23 is connected to the interior of the airbag 22. The inflation nozzle 23 is fixedly connected to the interior of one end of the outer surface of the contact layer 21. The inflation device can inflate the two sets of airbags 22 through two sets of inflation nozzles 23, causing them to expand. This allows the two sets of airbags 22 to be adjusted according to the size of the patient's head. When the two sets of airbags 22 expand, they will cause the two sets of contact layers 21 to expand synchronously. The surfaces of the two sets of contact layers 21 on opposite sides can fit against the sides of the patient's head. The medical silicone has good elasticity, which can maximize the comfort of the patient during use. This design allows medical staff to adjust the size of the two sets of contact layers 21 according to the size of the patient's head, thereby increasing the applicability of the device to a certain extent.

[0027] Working principle: When using the device, firstly, place the patient's head inside the support groove 13. Then, the neck brace 14 can support the back of the patient's neck. Next, medical staff use the inflation device to inflate the two sets of air bags 22 through the two sets of inflation nozzles 23, causing them to expand. Then, when the two sets of air bags 22 expand, they will drive the two sets of contact layers 21 to expand synchronously. Then, the surfaces of the two sets of contact layers 21 on opposite sides are respectively attached to the two sides of the patient's head. At this time, the two sets of contact layers 21 can restrict the patient's head, thereby preventing the patient's neck from moving from side to side. The above is the complete working principle of this device.

[0028] Finally, the following points should be noted: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections.
