Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a semi-enclosed headgear for non-convulsive electroconvulsive therapy. Background Technology

[0002] In the clinical treatment of mental illnesses, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an important non-pharmacological treatment widely used to alleviate symptoms of severe depression, mania, schizophrenia, and other mental disorders. This treatment method stimulates the brain with a brief and appropriate amount of electrical current, inducing generalized convulsions, thereby regulating the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain and improving mental symptoms. However, in actual operation, especially for patients with agitation and severe catatonia, the stable fixation of the electrode pads has become an urgent problem to be solved. Traditionally, medical staff use rubber bandages to tightly fix the electrode pads with cylindrical handles to the patient's head. Although this method ensures contact between the electrode pads and the scalp to a certain extent, the bandage has limited elasticity and is easily affected by the patient's head movements. Therefore, the bandage often slips or even falls off during use. This not only affects the continuity and accuracy of treatment, but may also greatly reduce the treatment effect due to the displacement of the electrode pad position. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a semi-enclosed headgear for non-convulsive electroconvulsive therapy, which solves the problem that existing technologies are easily affected by the patient's head movements, resulting in slippage or even falling off.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a semi-enclosed headgear for non-convulsive electroconvulsive therapy, comprising a headgear body and a limiting sleeve. The headgear body is composed of a first fixing strap, a second fixing strap, a third fixing strap, and a connecting piece. The two ends of the connecting piece are respectively connected to the middle of the first fixing strap and the second fixing strap, and the third fixing strap is disposed on the connecting piece to restrict the headgear body from sliding upward or downward when worn. The first fixing strap has several through holes for the electrode plate's cylindrical handle to pass through. The second fixing strap has a button, which is used to connect and fix the first fixing strap and the second fixing strap after engaging with the through holes. The third fixing strap has a button and several buttonholes, and the button and buttonholes are engaged to connect and fix the two ends of the third fixing strap. The limiting sleeve is fitted on the outer end of the third fixing strap to restrict the lateral slippage of the third fixing strap.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: when the electrode pads are fixed in position by wearing the headgear, the connecting piece is located on the top of the patient's head, and the third fixing strap extends downward from both sides of the patient's head to the jaw area for connection and fixation. This can effectively limit the upward or downward sliding of the headgear, increase the stability of the headgear and ensure the treatment effect.

[0006] To facilitate the insertion of the cylindrical handle of the electrode plate and its connection with the button:

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: several through holes are equidistantly opened on both sides of the first fixing strip along the length direction of the first fixing strip.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: by setting up through holes, it is convenient for the electrode plate cylindrical handle to pass through, and also convenient for it to be connected with the button.

[0009] To facilitate the initial fixation of the headgear body on the patient's head through the connection of the button and the through hole:

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: buttons are provided on the outer walls near the edges on both sides of the second fixing belt.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: after the first and second fixing straps are wrapped around the patient's head, the button is connected to the through hole in a suitable position, which can adapt to the patient's head circumference and complete the initial fixation operation of the headgear body on the patient's head.

[0012] To facilitate further securing the headgear to the patient's head through the connection of button two and buttonhole one:

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: several buttonholes are equidistantly opened on both sides of the third fixing band along the length direction of the third fixing band, while the button is located on the outer wall near the edge of one side of the third fixing band, and the third fixing band is laterally located at the middle of the top of the connecting piece.

[0014] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that by using a third fixing strap that extends downwards from both sides of the patient's head to the chin area, and by connecting the second button on one side of the third fixing strap with the first buttonhole at a suitable position on the other side, the headgear body can be further fixed on the patient's head.

[0015] For easy attachment to the outer ends of both sides of the third fixing belt:

[0016] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the number of limiting sleeves is two, both of which are composed of an inner piece and an outer piece, and the upper two sides of the inner piece are connected to the upper two sides of the outer piece, while the lower end is open.

[0017] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that, by setting up the limiting sleeve, it can be used by fitting it onto the outer ends of both sides of the third fixing belt.

[0018] To facilitate limiting the lateral slippage of the third fixing belt:

[0019] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a button three is provided in the middle of the lower inner wall of the inner piece, and a buttonhole two is provided on the outer piece corresponding to the position of the button three. The button three passes through the buttonhole one, the through hole and the buttonhole two to connect and fix the position of the limiting sleeve and restrict the side slip of the third fixing strap.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: when the limiting sleeve on the third fixing band is moved to the first fixing band, the third button passes through the first buttonhole and the through hole in sequence, so that the third button and the second buttonhole on the outer piece can be connected. This can fix the position of the limiting sleeve and also prevent the third fixing band from slipping during use, thus ensuring the stability of use.

[0021] To make it easy for patients with different head sizes to wear:

[0022] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the first fixing belt, the second fixing belt, the third fixing belt and the connecting piece all have elasticity.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: since the first fixing strap, the second fixing strap, the third fixing strap and the connecting piece are all elastic and can be made of any elastic material such as spandex, cotton blend, elastic polyester fiber, etc., it can increase the adaptability to patients with various head sizes and improve applicability.
