Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nursing belt technology, and in particular to a nursing belt for fixing ice packs after thyroid ablation. Background Technology

[0002] Thyroid thermal ablation therapy involves using an ablation needle under ultrasound or CT guidance to emit a uniform electromagnetic field, causing water dipoles in the thyroid tissue to interact and generate heat. Target cells coagulate and die at high temperatures, and are then slowly absorbed by the body, which can shrink or even completely eliminate nodules. Generally, after the procedure, pressure should be applied to the puncture site for 30-60 minutes (during which time a cold compress should be applied), and an ice pack should be applied for 4-6 hours. The main functions are to reduce thermal damage, relieve pain, and stop bleeding.

[0003] However, the following problems exist in the clinical application of cold compresses:

[0004] Ice packs need to be held and secured by the patient's hand. The outer layer of the ice pack is wrapped with gauze or paper. If the patient holds the ice pack for a long time, it is difficult to control the pressure, resulting in poor comfort of the cold compress. In addition, the gauze and paper wrapped around the ice pack pose a risk of local frostbite. Water droplets on the surface of the ice pack that melt and wet the gauze or paper can cause infection. Furthermore, if the patient does not position the ice pack accurately relative to the wound, it will directly affect the effectiveness of the cold compress and may increase the risk of bleeding and pain.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a post-thyroid ablation ice pack fixation and care belt that provides accurate positioning and improves the comfort of cold compresses. Utility Model Content

[0027] The following description is intended to provide a detailed account of the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution: an ice pack fixation and care belt after thyroid ablation, including an elastic fixation belt 100, with matching connectors 101 at both ends of the fixation belt 100 along its length. The two ends of the fixation belt 100 are configured to be connected by the connectors 101 to form an adjustable neck receiving area, and the side of the fixation belt 100 facing the neck receiving area is the body side.

[0029] Placement bag 200 is disposed on the side of the fixing strap 100. The placement bag 200 is provided with a waterproof inner layer and a skin-friendly outer layer arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside. The side of the placement bag 200 away from the neck receiving area and the fixing strap 100 are provided with an opening 300 facing the inside of the placement bag 200.

[0030] PCM ice pack 400, the ice pack 400 is located inside the placement bag 200, the ice pack 400 is provided with a thermosensitive color-changing layer 401, the thermosensitive color-changing layer 401 is arranged opposite to the window 300.

[0031] Preferably, the thermochromic layer 401 is configured to display different colors at different temperatures. The thermochromic layer 401 can display at least two colors, namely color one and color two. When the temperature is between 10°C and 15°C, the thermochromic layer 401 displays color one, and when the temperature is greater than 15°C, the thermochromic layer 401 displays color two.

[0032] This post-thyroidectomy ice pack 400 fixation care belt allows the ice pack 400 to be placed inside the placement bag 200 and worn around the patient's neck via the fixation strap 100, preventing the ice pack 400 from shifting, solving the problem of patients having to hold the ice pack 400 for a long time, and improving patient comfort.

[0033] The waterproof inner layer of the bag 200 can prevent wound infection caused by water droplets from melting ice pack 400, while the skin-friendly outer layer increases patient comfort and prevents frostbite.

[0034] Using PCM Ice Pack 400 instead of traditional Ice Pack 400 provides longer heat retention and a more constant temperature. It also avoids the problem of traditional Ice Pack 400 melting and affecting the icing effect if not replaced in time. PCM Ice Pack 400 is reusable, and the Ice Pack 400 fixing care band can also be reused after cleaning and disinfection in the hospital, reducing costs.

[0035] Furthermore, the inner walls of both the ice pack 400 and the placement bag 200, on the side facing away from the neck receiving area, are both rigid flat structures 402, and these rigid flat structures 402 are detachably connected. By providing a rigid flat structure 402 between the ice pack 400 and the placement bag 200, the opposing rigid flat structures 402 can be connected during use to avoid instability of the soft ice pack 400 and the placement bag 200, which could affect the accuracy of the ice application. Alternatively, the inner walls of both the ice pack 400 and the placement bag 200, on the side facing away from the neck receiving area, can be made of rigid material to form a rigid flat structure 402, and these rigid flat structures 402 are detachably connected by a suction cup 403.

[0036] In this embodiment, the fixing strap 100 is made of elastic and skin-friendly material, and the connector 101 is a Velcro. In use, the Velcro on one end of the connector 101 is attached to the Velcro on the other end of the connector 101 to adjust the size of the neck accommodating area, so that the nursing strap can be used by patients with different neck circumferences.

[0037] The number of placement bags 200 is multiple, and the placement bags 200 are arranged sequentially along the length of the fixing strap 100. Optionally, the number of placement bags 200 is 3. When in use, the position of the thyroid surgery wound varies depending on the puncture point of the ablation needle. Therefore, three placement bags 200 are designed on the left, middle and right sides. The ice pack 400 can be placed according to the position of the patient's wound, which can achieve precise pressure hemostasis. At the same time, it can avoid the pressure caused by the large ice pack 400 being applied to the patient's neck and trachea.

[0038] Furthermore, the placement bag 200 has an openable and closable opening on one side facing the axial direction of the neck receiving area, which connects the inside and outside of the placement bag 200. A flexible cover 201 for opening and closing the opening is connected to the outside of the opening of the placement bag 200. The cover and the outside of the opening of the placement bag 200 are provided with matching Velcro. Furthermore, the opening of the placement bag 200 is provided with a sealing strip.

[0039] To further enhance wearing comfort, the inner layer of the placement bag 200 is made of waterproof material, which can effectively reduce the risk of wound infection caused by water droplets from melting ice pack 400. The outer layer of the placement bag 200 is made of soft and skin-friendly cotton fabric, increasing patient comfort.

[0040] The post-thyroid ablation ice pack fixation care belt also includes: a flexible support pad 500, which is disposed on the side of the fixation belt 100, and the support pad 500 and the placement bag 200 are arranged at intervals along the length of the fixation belt 100.

[0041] The support pad 500 and the placement bag 200 are located on opposite radial sides of the neck receiving area. In use, the support pad 500 is located at the back of the patient's neck. The support pad 500 is made of memory foam material and is designed to conform to the curve of the patient's neck, providing support, reducing discomfort caused by the pressure of the fixation strap 100 on the patient's neck, relieving neck fatigue, and improving patient comfort.

[0042] The PCM ice pack 400 is packaged with flexible material, and the corners of the PCM ice pack 400 are all rounded, meaning that it has no sharp edges compared to the traditional square ice pack 400.

[0043] How to use:

[0044] First, place the PCM ice pack 400 into the placement bag 200 according to the location of the wound. Then, fix the rigid planar structure 402 between the placement bag 200 and the ice pack 400. Wrap the fixation strap 100 around the patient's neck and adjust the size of the neck accommodation area through the connector 101 to make the tightness of the patient's clothing suitable. The support pad 500 can provide reverse support to relieve fatigue.

[0045] The temperature of the ice pack 400 is determined by observing the color of the thermochromic layer 401 through the window 300. When the temperature of the ice pack 400 is lower than the preset value, the ice pack 400 is replaced through the opening of the bag 200.

[0046] After use, the Ice Pack 400 can be recycled and reused. The Ice Pack 400 nursing belt can be reused after cleaning and disinfection.
