Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical and nursing supplies technology, specifically to a neck brace after thyroid surgery. Background Technology
[0002] The thyroid gland is located on both sides of the front of the neck. After thyroid surgery, a neck brace is needed to support the neck and restrict its movement, thus preventing excessive movement that could cause bleeding or hematoma due to wound friction or traction. Because the neck brace needs to provide considerable support to the head, it fits the neck relatively tightly. This covering makes it difficult to manage sweat and secretions on the neck. To prevent infection, padding is placed inside the neck brace. The padding needs to be changed regularly. However, routine padding replacement requires removing the neck brace from the patient's neck, which is a cumbersome process. In addition, there is no structure on the neck brace to fix the padding, which can easily cause it to shift and make the patient uncomfortable.
[0003] In view of this, a design or technical improvement is proposed to solve the above problems.
[0004] The above content is only used to help understand the technical solution of this utility model and does not represent an admission that the above content is the closest prior art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a cervical collar after thyroid surgery.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] Post-thyroidectomy neck brace includes a posterior support plate and a detachable front support plate connected to the posterior support plate. The posterior support plate has two sets of annular straps arranged longitudinally around it, and the annular straps are provided with clamping components for holding the pads. The clamping components include an outer clamping cylinder set on the annular straps and an inner clamping cylinder rotatably set inside the outer clamping cylinder. The outer clamping cylinder and the inner clamping cylinder are respectively provided with an outer locking slot and an inner locking slot for placing the pads. A fixing rod is provided at one end of the inner clamping cylinder, and a torsion spring with one end set on the outer clamping cylinder and the other end set on the inner clamping cylinder is sleeved on the fixing rod.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer clamping cylinder has a limiting groove and a first pressing plate located on one side of the limiting groove, and the inner clamping cylinder has a second pressing plate that slides within the limiting groove.

[0032] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0033] like Figure 1-13 The neck brace shown after thyroid surgery includes a posterior support plate 1 and a detachable anterior support plate 11 connected to the posterior support plate 1. Two sets of annular straps 2 are longitudinally arranged around the posterior support plate 1, and clamping components for holding the pad are provided on the annular straps 2. It includes an outer clamping sleeve 21 mounted on the annular straps 2, with an inner clamping sleeve 22 rotatably mounted inside. The outer clamping sleeve 21 and the inner clamping sleeve 22 are respectively provided with an outer locking slot 23 and an inner locking slot 24 for placing the pad. A fixing rod 2 is provided at one end of the inner clamping sleeve 22. 5. A torsion spring 26, one end of which is mounted on the outer clamping cylinder 21 and the other end on the inner clamping cylinder 22, is sleeved on the fixing rod 25. The outer clamping cylinder 21 has a limiting groove 3 and a first pressing plate 31 located on one side of the limiting groove 3. The inner clamping cylinder 22 has a second pressing plate 32 that slides within the limiting groove 3. By manually engaging the first pressing plate 31 and the second pressing plate 32, the inner clamping cylinder 22 and the outer clamping cylinder 21 rotate relative to each other, thereby causing the inner locking slot 24 at the upper end of the inner clamping cylinder 22 to engage with the upper end of the outer clamping cylinder 21. The outer latch 23 corresponds to the inner latch 24, and the corner of the pad is then inserted into the inner clamp 22 through the outer latch 23 and the inner latch 24. Then, the first button 31 and the second button 32 are released, so that the inner clamp 22 and the outer clamp 21 are reset under the action of the torsion spring 26, so that the inner latch 24 and the outer latch 23 are misaligned, thereby clamping the end of the pad, thus forming a fixed pad. When the pad needs to be replaced, the side of the pad that is not clamped by the clamping component can be pulled, so that it is released from the rear support plate 1 and the human body. The pad is pulled out between the neck and the body. During the pulling process, the ring pull strap 2 will rotate, causing the clamping component to be pulled out synchronously. Then, the clamping component is opened to replace the pad. After the replacement is completed, by rotating the ring pull strap 2, the clamping component will drive one end of the pad to pass between the rear support plate 1 and the human neck and move to the upper side of the rear support plate 1, thus completing the pad placement. This replacement method does not require disassembling the rear support plate 1 and the front support plate 11, making the work steps simpler and more convenient, and improving nursing efficiency.
[0034] In one embodiment, both the outer clamp 21 and the inner clamp 22 have openings on one side near the center of the rear support plate 1. Through the opening at one end, when the two corners of one side of the pad are clamped in the clamping assembly, the side can extend directly from the opening and be straightened and flattened, making the end of the pad more evenly fixed.
[0035] In one embodiment, an inner pad 4 is provided on the inner side of the rear support plate 1. The inner pad 4 is connected to the rear support plate 1 by a rubber pad 41. The upper end of the inner pad 4 has through holes 42 on both sides. The annular pull strap 2 passes through the through holes 42 and is arranged longitudinally around the inner pad 4. By setting the inner pad 4, it can have a certain range of movement relative to the rear support plate 1 under the elastic action of the rubber pad 41, thereby providing the wearer with a small range of neck movement and preventing stiffness caused by prolonged immobility of the neck.
[0036] In one embodiment, the annular pull strap 2 is further provided with a connecting strap 43. A first Velcro 44 is provided between the connecting strap 43 and the outer surface of the rear support plate 1. When the clamping assembly clamps the end of the pad, it moves to the upper position of the rear support plate 1 by rotating the annular pull strap 2. Then, the first Velcro 44 is used to stick the connecting strap 43 to the rear support plate 1, thereby fixing the annular pull strap 2 and ensuring that the pad will not continue to rotate and cause it to shift.
[0037] In one embodiment, a stop bar 45 is also provided on the annular pull belt 2 below the connecting belt 43. A first buckle 46 is provided on the built-in pad 4, which is sleeved on the outer end of the annular pull belt 2 and limits the movement of the stop bar 45. By setting the stop bar 45 and the first buckle 46, the movement of the connecting belt 43 is limited. When the annular pull belt 2 rotates and drives the stop bar 45 to abut against the first buckle 46, the connecting belt 43 is located at the bottom of the built-in pad 4. This allows the connecting belt 43 to be quickly pulled to rotate the annular pull belt 2 to a fixed position, improving the efficiency of pad replacement. At the same time, it facilitates the quick positioning of the connecting belt 43 and fixes it to the rear support plate 1.
[0038] In one embodiment, the front support plate 11 has buckle holes 5 on both sides, and the rear support plate 1 has buckle bars 51 on both sides that are adapted to buckle holes 5 for fastening. The rear support plate 1 also has second buckle rings 52 on both sides. The front support plate 11 has locking straps 53 on both sides that are movably connected to the second buckle rings 52. The locking straps 53 and the outer surface of the front support plate 11 are provided with second Velcro 54 that cooperate with each other. The buckle bars 51 are fastened by passing through the buckle holes 5, so that the rear support plate 1 and the front support plate 11 are initially assembled. Then, the locking straps 53 are passed through the second buckle rings 52 and bent back, so that the second Velcro 54 is used to fix the locking straps 53 and the front support plate 11. Then, by tightening or loosening the locking straps 53, the adhesive surface between the locking straps 53 and the front support plate 11 changes, so that the tightness of the neck brace can be adjusted conveniently and quickly.
[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
