Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary devices, specifically to an adjustable temperature ice pack sleeve. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of medical care, intravenous infusion is a commonly used treatment method widely applied in the treatment of various diseases. However, patients sometimes experience adverse reactions such as redness, swelling, and phlebitis after receiving intravenous infusion. This is mainly due to drug irritation, needle injury, or prolonged maintenance of the same posture during infusion, which damages the vein wall and triggers an inflammatory response. These adverse reactions not only cause pain and discomfort to patients but may also affect the treatment effect and recovery process.

[0003] Cryotherapy, as a physical therapy, is widely used to relieve problems such as redness, swelling, and phlebitis that occur after intravenous infusion. Its principle lies in applying physical agents at temperatures lower than body temperature to the affected area, drawing heat away from the body, lowering the local tissue temperature, and causing capillary constriction, thereby achieving effects such as cooling, hemostasis, pain relief, and prevention of swelling.

[0004] When performing cryotherapy on patients, ice packs are typically applied to the affected area. However, common ice packs often lack a secure fixation method, requiring the patient to wrap them with a towel. This traditional method not only adds extra burden to the patient but also makes it easy for the ice pack to slip or shift due to loose wrapping, severely affecting the effectiveness of cryotherapy. If the ice pack slips or shifts, it not only wastes treatment time but may also exacerbate the patient's pain and discomfort due to inaccurate treatment site selection.

[0005] To address the issue of securing ice packs, specially designed cold compress sleeves have been introduced to the market. These sleeves effectively fix the ice pack in place, ensuring direct contact with the patient's skin. However, medical ice packs reach extremely low temperatures when frozen, and prolonged contact with excessively low temperatures can cause frostbite. Existing cold compress sleeves, however, cannot flexibly adjust the temperature between the ice pack and the affected skin to suit the patient's needs. This not only limits the applicability of the cold compress sleeves but may also lead to new medical problems due to excessively low temperatures.

[0006] Therefore, how to design a cold compress that can adjust the ice temperature according to the patient's actual needs while ensuring that the patient can safely and stably receive ice treatment is a technical problem that has not yet been solved in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0007] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the technical defects of existing cold compress sleeves, which cannot flexibly adjust the temperature between the ice pack and the affected skin, easily leading to frostbite and thus having a narrow range of applications. In this way, an ice compress sleeve that can adjust the ice compress temperature according to the actual needs of the patient is provided.

[0008] Therefore, this utility model provides an adjustable temperature ice pack sleeve, comprising:

[0009] The main body of the cuff is designed to be wrapped around and secured to the patient's limb;

[0010] The adhesive patch is detachably attached to the cuff body via a Velcro structure;

[0011] An elastic tab is fixedly disposed on the outside of the adhesive tab, and together with the adhesive tab, forms a mounting cavity with a top opening;

[0012] An airbag is installed in the mounting cavity and has a flat state after deflation and an inflated state after inflation; one side of the outer wall of the airbag is attached to the adhesive piece, and there is a gap between the other side of the outer wall and the elastic piece, the gap being suitable for placing an ice pack;

[0013] An inflation / deflation assembly, connected to the airbag, is used to inflate or deflate the airbag.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the hook and loop fastener structure includes a hook surface disposed on the outer side of the cuff body and a loop surface disposed on the inner side of the adhesive patch;

[0015] Alternatively, the Velcro structure may include a textured surface on the outer side of the cuff body and a hook surface on the inner side of the adhesive patch.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution, the elastic piece is elastic and its two ends are fixedly connected to the outer side of the adhesive piece, so that the gap is contractible and can accommodate ice packs of different sizes and tighten them.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution, the cuff body is provided with hollowed-out cooling holes opposite to the mounting cavity.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution, the cooling hole is composed of two rectangular through holes.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution, the airbag has a cavity inside and a connector communicating with the cavity on its outside; it also includes a through hole opened on the elastic piece and disposed opposite to the connector, so that the connector can extend outward through the through hole; air can be injected into the cavity through the connector, causing the airbag to expand, thereby separating the ice pack from the adhesive piece to adjust the cooling temperature of the ice pack.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution, the inflation / deflation assembly includes:

[0021] Inflatable balloon, hollow design;

[0022] A first one-way valve is installed at the tail end of the inflatable bladder to control the one-way flow of air from the outside of the inflatable bladder to the inside of the inflatable bladder.

[0023] A second one-way valve is installed at the front end of the inflatable bladder to control the one-way flow of air from the inside of the inflatable bladder to the outside of the inflatable bladder.

[0024] An air supply tube, with one end sleeved on the connector and the other end connected to the second one-way valve, is used to supply air to the airbag;

[0025] The inflatable balloon is connected to the connector via the air supply tube, and air can be injected into the cavity by squeezing the inflatable balloon.

[0026] As a preferred technical solution, the gas pipeline has an integrally formed venting end, and the venting end has an air hole that passes through the gas pipeline and an openable and closable air valve installed in the air hole.

[0027] As a preferred technical solution, the air hole is provided with an internal thread, and the bottom of the air valve is equipped with a matching threaded shaft. The air valve can be threadedly installed in the air hole through the threaded shaft. The threaded shaft has an axial air passage along its length, and the side wall has a radial air passage communicating with the axial air passage. By turning the air valve, the threaded shaft will extend and retract in the air hole, and drive the opening of the radial air passage to extend out of the air hole to communicate with the outside, or retract into the air hole to close with the outside.

[0028] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0029] This utility model discloses an adjustable temperature ice pack cuff, comprising a cuff body, an adhesive patch, an elastic band, an air bladder, and an inflation / deflation assembly. The cuff body is adapted to be wrapped around and fixed to the patient's limb. The adhesive patch is detachably attached to the cuff body via a Velcro structure. The elastic band is fixedly disposed on the outside of the adhesive patch, forming an installation cavity with the adhesive patch having a top opening. The air bladder is installed in the installation cavity and has a flattened state after deflation and an inflated state after inflation. The inflation / deflation assembly is connected to the air bladder and is used to inflate or deflate the air bladder.

[0030] When using the adjustable temperature ice pack cuff of this invention, firstly, wrap the cuff body around and fix it to the patient's limb, then attach the adhesive patch to the cuff body using a Velcro structure; next, open the mounting cavity, insert the prepared ice pack, and tighten it with an elastic band; finally, according to the treatment needs, use the inflation / deflation component connected to the airbag to precisely control the inflation or deflation degree of the airbag, thereby adjusting the ice pack temperature in the ice pack area. This adjustable temperature ice pack cuff effectively avoids the problem of frostbite easily caused by traditional cold compresses, significantly improving the safety of treatment and patient comfort.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0043] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0044] This embodiment provides an adjustable temperature ice pack sleeve, such as... Figure 1-7As shown, the device includes: a cuff body 1, an adhesive patch 2, an elastic band 3, an air bladder 5, and an inflation / deflation assembly; wherein, the cuff body 1 has Velcro structures on both its inner and outer sides, suitable for wrapping and fixing around the patient's limb; the adhesive patch 2 has a Velcro structure on its inner side, which can be detachably attached to the cuff body 1; the elastic band 3 is fixedly disposed on the outer side of the adhesive patch 2, forming an installation cavity 4 with the adhesive patch 2 having a top opening; the air bladder 5 is installed in the installation cavity 4, having a flat state after deflation and an inflated state after inflation; one outer wall of the air bladder 5 is attached to the adhesive patch 2, and there is a gap 8 between the other outer wall and the elastic band 3, the gap 8 being suitable for placing an ice pack; the inflation / deflation assembly is connected to the air bladder 5 for inflating or deflating the air bladder 5.

[0045] When using the adjustable temperature ice pack cuff of this embodiment, firstly, the cuff body 1 is wrapped around and fixed to the patient's limb, and then the adhesive patch 2 is attached to the cuff body 1 using a Velcro structure; next, the mounting cavity 4 is opened, the prepared ice pack is placed in, and tightened and fixed by the elastic plate 3; finally, according to the treatment needs, the inflation or deflation component connected to the airbag 5 is used to precisely control the inflation or deflation degree of the airbag 5, thereby adjusting the ice pack temperature of the ice pack area. This adjustable temperature ice pack cuff of the embodiment effectively avoids the problem of frostbite easily caused by traditional cold compresses, significantly improving the safety of treatment and patient comfort.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the Velcro structure includes a hook surface 6 on the outer side of the cuff body 1 and a rough surface 7 on the inner side of the adhesive patch 2; or, the Velcro structure includes a rough surface 7 on the outer side of the cuff body 1 and a hook surface 6 on the inner side of the adhesive patch 2. By combining the hook surface 6 and the rough surface 7 between the outer side of the cuff body 1 and the inner side of the adhesive patch 2, the Velcro structure ensures stable fixation of the cuff in either case, while providing flexibility for adjustment, enhancing wearing comfort and ease of operation.

[0047] The hook or fur surface on the outer side of the cuff body 1 can extend to one end of the cuff body 1, while the inner side of the other end can be provided with a corresponding fur or hook surface, so that the cuff body 1 can be conveniently wrapped around and fixed to the patient's limb.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the elastic piece 3 is elastic, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the outer side of the adhesive piece 2, so that the gap 8 has contractibility and can accommodate ice packs of different sizes and tighten them.

[0049] like Figure 4As shown, the cuff body 1 has perforated cooling holes 9 opposite to the mounting cavity 4. The cooling air from the ice pack is directly transmitted through the cooling holes 9, ensuring that the cold therapy is more concentrated on the target area and improving the efficiency of the cold compress.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, the cooling vent 9 consists of two rectangular through holes. Compared to a single large hole, the double rectangular through holes 9 maintain the structural strength of the cuff while ensuring the cooling effect.

[0051] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the airbag 5 has a cavity 10 inside, and a connector 11 communicating with the cavity 10 is provided on its outside; it also includes a through hole 12 formed on the elastic piece 3, which is opposite to the connector 11, allowing the connector 11 to extend outward through the through hole 12; air can be injected into the cavity 10 through the connector 11, causing the airbag 5 to inflate, thereby separating the ice pack from the adhesive piece 2 to adjust the cooling effect of the ice pack. The distance between the ice pack and the skin can be controlled by a simple inflation and deflation operation, thus adjusting the intensity of the ice pack, making it flexible and convenient to use.

[0052] Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the inflation / deflation assembly includes: an inflatable bladder 13, a first one-way valve 14, a second one-way valve 15, and an air supply pipe 16; wherein, the inflatable bladder 13 is hollow; the first one-way valve 14 is installed at the tail end of the inflatable bladder 13 to control the one-way flow of air from the outside of the inflatable bladder 13 to the inside of the inflatable bladder 13; the second one-way valve 15 is installed at the front end of the inflatable bladder 13 to control the one-way flow of air from the inside of the inflatable bladder 13 to the outside of the inflatable bladder 13; one end of the air supply pipe 16 is sleeved on the connector 11, and the other end is connected to the second one-way valve 15 to supply air to the airbag 5; the inflatable bladder 13 is connected to the connector 11 through the air supply pipe 16, and air can be injected into the cavity 10 by squeezing the inflatable bladder 13. Through the coordinated action of the first one-way valve 14 and the second one-way valve 15, air can only flow in one direction. Users can precisely control the inflation and deflation of the airbag 5 to prevent gas backflow. This mechanism allows for flexible adjustment of the expansion degree of the airbag 5, fine adjustment of the cooling temperature, and ensures that the distance between the ice pack and the skin is appropriate to achieve the ideal cooling effect.

[0053] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the air supply tube 16 has an integrally formed venting end 17. The venting end 17 has an air hole 18 through the air supply tube 16 and an openable / closable air valve 19 installed in the air hole 18. The design of the venting end 17 and the air valve 19 allows users to quickly and easily release the air in the airbag 5; when releasing part of the air, the cooling temperature can be flexibly adjusted; and after completely releasing the air, the cooling cuff can be easily removed, preparing for the next use.

[0054] like Figure 7 As shown, the air hole 18 has an internal thread, and the bottom of the air valve 19 is equipped with a matching threaded shaft 20. The air valve 19 can be threadedly installed in the air hole 18 through the threaded shaft 20. The threaded shaft 20 has an axial air passage 21 along its length inside, and a radial air passage 22 communicating with the axial air passage on its side wall. By turning the air valve 19, the threaded shaft 20 will extend and retract within the air hole 18, causing the opening of the radial air passage 22 to extend out of the air hole 18 to communicate with the outside, or to retract into the air hole 18 to close to the outside. By simply turning the air valve 19, the user can conveniently and efficiently control the extension and retraction of the threaded shaft 20 within the air hole 18, thereby flexibly adjusting the communication state between the radial air passage 22 and the external environment.

[0055] The adjustable temperature ice pack sleeve in this embodiment is used as follows:

[0056] First, wrap the cuff body 1 around and fit it tightly to the patient's limb, ensuring that the hook or loop side of the cuff body 1 is in full contact with the patient's skin to achieve a stable fixation. Next, using the Velcro structure, firmly attach the adhesive piece 2 to the cuff body 1. Then, open the mounting cavity 4 formed by the elastic piece 3 and the adhesive piece 2. Place the pre-prepared ice pack into the gap 8, and use the elasticity of the elastic piece 3 to tighten and fix the ice pack to ensure that the ice pack will not shift or slip during use.

[0057] Next, according to the patient's treatment needs, the inflation or deflation of the airbag 5 is precisely controlled using the inflation or deflation assembly connected to the airbag 5. Specifically, squeezing the inflatable airbag 13 allows air to enter the cavity 10 of the airbag 5 through the second one-way valve 15 and the air supply tube 16; releasing the inflatable airbag 13 allows air to smoothly enter the interior of the inflatable airbag 13 through the first one-way valve 14 for inflation; this cycle allows the airbag 5 to gradually inflate; the gradually inflating airbag 5 gradually separates the ice pack from the adhesive patch 2, thereby adjusting the cooling effect of the ice pack; if deflation is required, simply turn the air valve 19 on the deflation end 17 outwards to connect the opening of the radial airway 22 with the outside of the air hole 18, allowing the air in the cavity 10 to be smoothly released; by releasing some air, the cooling effect of the ice pack can be flexibly adjusted; after completely releasing the air, the ice pack cuff can be easily removed for the next use.

[0058] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this innovative technical solution.
