Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medical ice caps, and in particular to a multi-part frostbite protection towel for use in medical ice caps. Background Technology
[0002] In clinical practice, when head cooling and hypothermia treatment are required, medical cooling devices, such as medical ice caps, are often used. Most medical ice caps are full-coverage products, which can cause frostbite to the patient's ears during use. In addition, the patient's occiput is under pressure for a long time, which can lead to poor blood circulation and frostbite and pressure sores. Furthermore, the patient's neck is fragile, and once injured, it can easily cause related sensory and motor disorders. Therefore, the patient's ears, occiput, and neck all need to be protected. Utility Model Content

[0035] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a multi-part frostbite protection towel for medical ice caps according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0036] Reference Figure 1-4 The multi-site frostbite protection towel for medical ice caps includes a protective towel body 1 and a fixing component. The protective towel body 1 includes a pillow protection part 11 placed under the patient's pillow, a neck protection part 12 placed under the patient's neck, and an ear protection part 13 attached to the patient's ears.
[0037] The fixation assembly includes an upper fixation cord 2 and a lower fixation cord 3. The two ends of the upper fixation cord 2 are fixedly connected to the two ear protection parts 13 respectively, and the two ends of the lower fixation cord 3 are also fixedly connected to the two ear protection parts 13 respectively. The middle part of the upper fixation cord 2 fits against the patient's forehead, and the middle part of the lower fixation cord 3 fits against the patient's chin.
[0038] The upper fixing rope 2 includes a first thick sponge strip 21 and a second thick sponge strip 22. The first thick sponge strip 21 has a hook and loop fastener at one end near the second thick sponge strip 22, and the second thick sponge strip 22 has a loop fastener at one end near the first thick sponge strip 21. The hook and loop fastener is located on the side away from the patient, and the loop fastener is located on the side facing the patient, so as to avoid the hook and loop fastener causing discomfort to the patient.
[0039] The lower fixing rope 3 includes a third thick sponge strip 31 and a fourth thick sponge strip 32. The third thick sponge strip 31 has a hook and loop fastener at one end near the fourth thick sponge strip 32, and the fourth thick sponge strip 32 has a loop fastener at one end near the third thick sponge strip 31. The hook and loop fastener is located on the side away from the patient, and the loop fastener is located on the side facing the patient, so as to avoid discomfort caused to the patient by the hook and loop fastener.
[0040] After placing the protective towel body 1 under the patient's head, attach the ear protection part 13 to the patient's ear, then fix the first thick sponge strip 21 and the second thick sponge strip 22 to the patient's forehead, and then fix the third thick sponge strip 31 and the fourth thick sponge strip 32 to the patient's chin, so that the protective towel body 1 is stably fixed to the patient's head.
[0041] The protective towel body 1 includes a sponge 41 and a soft towel 4 wrapped around the sponge 41. The sponge 41 and the soft towel 4 are detachably connected for easy cleaning of the soft towel 4. The protective towel body 1 is made of terry cloth to improve patient comfort.
[0042] The soft towel 4 has a detachable seam along the circumference of the protective towel body 1 on the side away from the patient. A zipper 5 is provided at the detachable seam. After opening the zipper 5, the sponge 41 can be put into the soft towel 4.
[0043] Because medical ice caps produce condensation during use, a waterproof fabric 6 is provided on the side of the protective blanket 1 away from the patient to prevent condensation from seeping into the protective blanket body 1. The waterproof fabric 6 is made of PVC waterproof fabric 6. The waterproof fabric 6 is detachably connected to the protective blanket body 1 by a second zipper 7. The periphery of the waterproof fabric 6 is folded over to overlap with the protective blanket body 1. The second zipper 7 is located on the circumferential side wall of the protective blanket body 1.
[0044] Because the waterproof cloth 6 and the soft towel 4 are made of different materials, the waterproof cloth 6 and the soft towel 4 are disassembled and washed separately.
[0045] The implementation principle of a multi-site frostbite protection towel for medical ice caps in this application embodiment is as follows:
[0046] After placing the protective blanket body 1 under the patient's head, the ear protection part 13 is attached to the patient's ears. Then, the first thick sponge strip 21 and the second thick sponge strip 22 are fixed to the patient's forehead, and the third thick sponge strip 31 and the fourth thick sponge strip 32 are fixed to the patient's chin. This keeps the protective blanket body 1 stably fixed to the patient's head. Finally, the medical ice cap is put on the outside of the protective blanket body 1 to protect the patient's occipital region, neck, and ears, reducing the possibility of frostbite to the patient's ears, frostbite and pressure injuries due to poor blood circulation in the occipital region, and frostbite due to pressure on the neck, which may lead to related sensory and motor disorders.
[0047] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
