Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This utility model relates to an ice pack for the sacrum and coccyx. [Background Technology]
[0002] High-intensity focused ultrasound ablation (HIFU) is a treatment method that has been increasingly used in recent years to treat benign solid tumors, adenomyosis, and uterine fibroids in gynecology, and its efficacy has been recognized. However, HIFU is a procedure performed without general anesthesia, and patients are conscious during the procedure. During the treatment, patients experience varying degrees of pain. Pain not only causes patients to be anxious during the procedure, reducing their compliance with treatment and causing them to involuntarily lift or move their bodies, which affects the safety of the entire HIFU procedure, but it may also increase the amount of anesthetic drugs required and the incidence of postoperative pain. In severe cases, it may lead to unplanned cancellation or interruption of the procedure, causing adverse effects on the surgery.
[0003] To alleviate pain during surgery and cool the skin of the sacrococcygeal region, the common clinical treatment is to apply ice. Clinically, ice packs made of water or saline are placed on the sacrococcygeal region to promote local vasoconstriction, slow blood circulation, reduce tissue inflammation, and alleviate the sensitivity of the tissue to pain and the degree of swelling of the surrounding tissues. However, ordinary ice packs are not designed according to the patient's body area, have a small contact area with the body, poor effective fit, and cannot achieve the expected ice pack effect. Moreover, the ice pack is very easy to slip off, thus affecting the effectiveness of ice pack treatment.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model was created based on the above-mentioned shortcomings. [Utility Model Content]
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a simple and easy-to-use ice pack for the sacrum and coccyx.

Detailed Implementation Methods
[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0024] like Figs. 1 to 3 As shown, a sacrococcygeal ice pack includes a bag body 1 with an inner cavity containing a low-temperature medium. The bag body 1 has an inwardly recessed cavity 11 that allows heat exchange with the low-temperature medium within the inner cavity. The cavity 11 includes a sacrococcygeal fitting surface 111 that rests against the patient's sacrococcygeal region, and buttock fitting surfaces 112 located on both sides of the sacrococcygeal fitting surface 111 that rest against the patient's left and right buttocks respectively. The opening edge of the cavity 11 has an adhesive surface 2 for attaching to the skin around the sacrococcygeal region and buttocks to secure the bag body 1. This invention is ergonomically designed; the sacrococcygeal fitting surface 111 and the buttock fitting surface 112 are arc-shaped, conforming to the curve of the buttocks and sacrococcygeal region to provide better support and comfort, ensuring the product fits the buttocks and sacrococcygeal region to achieve the ice pack effect. Furthermore, the adhesive surfaces are attached to the skin around the sacrococcygeal region and buttocks to secure the bag body, preventing slippage during use and facilitating operation by medical personnel.
[0025] To address the issue of the therapeutic effect of ice packs gradually diminishing as the ice pack rewarms, a temperature sensor 3 is installed inside the cavity to detect the temperature of the low-temperature medium. The bag body 1 houses a battery 4, a control module 5 electrically connected to the battery 4 and temperature sensor 3, and a display 6 electrically connected to the control module 5 that displays the real-time temperature of the low-temperature medium detected by temperature sensor 3. The temperature of the low-temperature medium can be checked at any time via the display 6, allowing for monitoring of the ice pack temperature and timely replacement of the ice pack to achieve a continuous ice pack effect.
[0026] Furthermore, the control module 5 is equipped with an alarm 7 that is electrically connected to the control module 5 and emits an alarm sound when the temperature of the low-temperature medium detected by the temperature sensor 3 is lower than the set temperature, so as to remind medical staff to replace the ice pack in time.
[0027] Specifically, the bag body 1 has an installation cavity 12 separated from the inner cavity. An electrical control box 8 is housed within the installation cavity 12. The battery 4 and control module 5 are located inside the electrical control box 8, and the display 6 is located on the side of the electrical control box 8 and protrudes outside the bag body 1. In this invention, the control module 5 also has a control button 10 with one end extending out of the electrical control box 8. The control button 10 can control the opening and closing of the container, set the time, and perform other functions.
[0028] In this invention, a mesh layer 13 is provided on the surface of the buttock-fitting surface 112 and / or the sacrococcygeal-fitting surface 111. The mesh layer 13 can reduce the contact area between the buttock-fitting surface 112 and / or the sacrococcygeal-fitting surface 111 and the patient's skin to a certain extent, thereby increasing breathability and comfort, while reducing the feeling of heat and moisture.
[0029] Specifically, the grid of grid layer 13 is honeycomb-shaped.
[0030] In this invention, the adhesive surface 2 is an annular adhesive surrounding the opening of the concave cavity 11, which provides a good fixing effect.
[0031] In this invention, the bag body 1 is provided with an injection port 14 for injecting a cryogenic medium into the inner cavity, and the injection port 14 is detachably provided with a sealing cap 9 that can cover and seal the injection port 14. By removing and installing the sealing cap 9, the cryogenic medium can be easily added or discharged.
[0032] In this invention, the bag body 1 is made of a transparent and flexible material, and the low-temperature medium is an ethanol-saline refrigerant. Specifically, the bag body 1 is made of a gel material, and the low-temperature medium can be prepared by mixing 75% ethanol with 0.9% sodium chloride solution (ratio 1:2) to form an ethanol-saline solution, which is then injected into the bag body 1 and placed in a -18°C refrigerator for 12 hours.
