Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to a pressure bandage specifically designed for robot-assisted hemostasis after thyroid surgery. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of robot-assisted surgery technology, especially in the field of thyroid surgery, its precision, minimally invasiveness, and efficiency have been widely applied. Traditional surgery is usually performed through an incision in the neck, which, while ensuring direct visualization for the surgeon, leaves noticeable scars. In contrast, robot-assisted surgery uses smaller incisions and can be performed in concealed locations, such as the areola on the chest, reducing wound size and hiding scars. However, despite the significant reduction in surgical trauma and shorter recovery time that robot-assisted surgery can achieve, postoperative hemostasis and wound care remain challenges. Postoperative hemostasis is particularly important because the thyroid surgery area is close to the carotid artery and nerves. Traditional bandages cannot ensure even pressure across the wound area, potentially leading to uneven pressure in some areas and insufficient pressure in others.

[0003] Utility model patent CN209153846U discloses a novel pressure bandage specifically designed for hemostasis after thyroid surgery. The bandage includes an elastic webbing with a ventilation hole in the middle. One end of the elastic webbing is fixed with a positioning buckle, and the other end is movably fitted with an adjusting buckle. A locking strip is fixed to the tail end of the elastic webbing near the adjusting buckle. A positioning locking rod is fixed to the end of the positioning base away from the adjusting buckle. A connecting plate is fixed to the upper surface of the base plate, and a guide hole is provided on the connecting plate. A limit baffle is fixed to the bottom side of the pressing plate, and a push rod is fixed to the inner side of the limit baffle. A spring is fitted onto the push rod. This novel pressure bandage, specifically designed for hemostasis after thyroid surgery, is made of elastic material to avoid restricting the patient's neck movement, and is characterized by breathability, skin-friendliness, and high elasticity. However, the pressure bandage has the following problems when used: it cannot ensure that the pressure applied to the wound area is uniform, which may cause some areas to bear too much pressure while other areas may lack sufficient pressure; the bandage lacks an effective pressure adjustment device and cannot be precisely adjusted according to the needs of different areas, thus affecting the treatment effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model aims to provide a pressure bandage specifically designed for robot-assisted hemostasis after thyroid surgery. It connects to holes in both the first and second bandages via a connecting rod, allowing for flexible adjustment of the fixing mechanism's position. This enables the pressure mechanism to precisely adjust the position and pressure of the elastic element according to the wound shape and applied pressure. Simultaneously, through the cooperation of the adjusting component and the elastic element, the adjusting component's pressure allows the bottom surface shape of the elastic element to be adjusted according to the wound surface curve, ensuring the bandage perfectly conforms to the wound and achieves precise compression.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A pressure bandage specifically designed for robotic thyroid surgery hemostasis includes a first bandage, characterized in that it further includes: a second bandage, one end of which is fixedly connected to the first bandage, and the other end which is cross-wound and movably connected to the first bandage, for hemostasis after thyroid surgery; and multiple pressing mechanisms, each detachably connected to either the first or second bandage, for increasing pressure on the wound area and promoting hemostasis.

[0007] The structural design of the pressure bandage combines the first and second bandages through movable and fixed connections, which can effectively cover the chest passage after thyroid surgery, and then use the compression mechanism to apply precise pressure to stop bleeding.

[0008] Furthermore, both ends of the pressing mechanism are provided with fixing mechanisms for connecting the first bandage or the second bandage.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes a connecting rod, an elastic pad, and a base; the connecting rod passes through a corresponding first bandage or second bandage; the elastic pad is connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod; the base is connected to the top end of the connecting rod and is also connected to the pressing mechanism.

[0010] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism includes an elastic element, a housing, and an adjusting element; the elastic element is disposed between the two fixing mechanisms; the housing is disposed on top of the first elastic element; the adjusting element is installed inside the housing and is used to squeeze the elastic element to adjust the pressure on the postoperative bleeding point.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the first bandage is provided with an adjustment mechanism for adjusting its length.

[0012] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes a fixing seat connected to one end of the first bandage, and a fixing member for fixing the other end of the first bandage is provided at the center of the fixing seat.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The pressure bandage of this utility model is connected to the holes on the first and second bandages via a connecting rod, allowing for flexible adjustment of the position of the fixing mechanism, which in turn adjusts the position of the pressing mechanism. This ensures precise pressure can be applied to patients of different body types, guaranteeing the stability of the hemostatic effect. Simultaneously, through the cooperation of the adjusting component and the elastic component, rotating the adjusting component allows the bottom shape of the elastic component to be adjusted according to the curve of the wound surface, ensuring the bandage perfectly conforms to the wound and achieves precise pressure.

[0015] 2. The pressure bandage of this invention is connected to the holes on the second bandage via a connecting rod, allowing for flexible adjustment of the position of the fixing mechanism, and thus adjusting the position of the compression mechanism. The adjustability of the fixing mechanism ensures that the compression mechanism can apply precise pressure to patients of different body types, thereby guaranteeing the stability of the hemostatic effect.

[0016] 3. This utility model ensures that the bandage fits the wound by cooperating with the adjusting component and the elastic component. By rotating the adjusting component, the bottom surface shape of the elastic component conforms to the curve of the wound surface to fit the bandage. The adjusting component presses the elastic component, thereby making the bandage fit the wound, ensuring that the bandage fits the wound perfectly and achieves precise pressure.

[0026] See attached document Figure 1-5 The diagram illustrates a pressure bandage specifically designed for robot-assisted hemostasis after thyroid surgery. It includes a first bandage 1, a second bandage 2, two fixing mechanisms 3, a pressing mechanism 4, and an adjusting mechanism 5. One end of the second bandage 2 is fixedly connected to the first bandage 1, while the other end is movably connected to the first bandage 1 via a cross-wrap, used for hemostasis of the anterior chest passage after thyroid surgery. Multiple pressing mechanisms 4 are detachably connected to either the first bandage 1 or the second bandage 2, respectively, to increase pressure on the wound area and promote hemostasis. Both ends of the pressing mechanism 4 are equipped with fixing mechanisms for connecting to either the first bandage 1 or the second bandage 2. The adjusting mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the first bandage 1 to adjust its length to accommodate different patient body shapes. This structural design, through the combination of movable and fixed connections, effectively covers the anterior chest passage after thyroid surgery for hemostasis. The detachable nature of the fixing mechanisms 3 makes it easier to disassemble and install the pressing mechanisms 4 in different positions. This design achieves effective hemostasis of the anterior chest passage after thyroid surgery, is suitable for different patients with different chest sizes, and avoids uneven hemostasis or excessive compression.

[0027] The second bandage 2 is provided with a Velcro 11 at one end that is movably connected to the first bandage 1. The Velcro 11 is configured to fit the surface of the first bandage 1 and is fixed to the first bandage 1 after being wrapped around it several times.

[0028] The second bandage 2 has multiple sets of holes 21 on both sides, and two fixing mechanisms 3 can be detachably connected to each set of holes 21. The multiple sets of holes 21 facilitate the connection and disassembly of the fixing mechanisms 3. Through the cooperation of the holes 21 and the fixing mechanisms 3, the fixing position can be flexibly adjusted to ensure effective fixation of the bandage in the chest area. This detachable connection structure improves the flexibility and convenience of operation; during use, the connection position between the bandage and the fixing mechanisms 3 can be adjusted as needed to ensure the stability of the hemostatic effect.

[0029] In some embodiments, the fixing mechanism 3 includes a connecting rod 31, an elastic pad 32, and a base 33. The connecting rod 31 passes through the hole 21 and has threads at both ends. The elastic pad 32 is threaded to the bottom end of the connecting rod 31 and abuts against the bottom surface of the second bandage 2. The base 33 is threaded to the top end of the connecting rod 31 and connected to the pressing mechanism 4. The fixing mechanism 3, through the combination of the connecting rod 31, the elastic pad 32, and the base 33, ensures the stable fixing of the bandage. The threads at both ends of the connecting rod 31 allow the base 33 and the elastic pad 32 to be firmly fixed to the second bandage 2 through the threaded connection. The elastic pad 32 provides comfortable support to the bandage by contacting the bottom surface of the second bandage 2, while the base 33, contacting the top surface of the second bandage 2, further enhances the fixing effect. This fixing mechanism 3 allows the bandage to be firmly fixed to the patient, the elastic pad 32 improves comfort, and ensures that it will not shift during hemostasis, thus ensuring the treatment effect.

[0030] In some embodiments, the pressing mechanism 4 includes an elastic element 41, a housing 42, an adjusting element 43, and a telescopic element 44. The elastic element 41 is disposed between the two fixing mechanisms 3. The housing 42 is disposed between the two fixing mechanisms 3 and is movably connected to the top of the elastic element 41. The adjusting element 43 is threadedly connected to the center of the housing 42 and abuts against the top of the elastic element 41. The telescopic element 44 is disposed inside the housing 42 and is fixedly connected to the inner top of the housing 42 and the top of the elastic element 41. Under the pressure of the adjusting element 43, the bottom shape of the elastic element 41 compresses the bandage to perfectly conform to the curved shape of the wound surface. The pressing mechanism 4, by utilizing the cooperation of the elastic element 41 and the adjusting element 43, can precisely adjust the pressure applied to the bandage by pressing the adjusting element 43. The telescopic component 44 provides support for the elastic component 41, preventing it from detaching from the device. When the pressing mechanism 4 is fixed to the second bandage 2, the telescopic component 44's extension and retraction are altered by the up-and-down movement of the adjusting component 43. The pressing mechanism 4 can precisely adjust the pressure of the elastic component 41 to achieve ideal hemostasis. It should be noted that the elastic component 41 can be an airbag structure, expanding when inflated and capable of elastic deformation; the telescopic component 44 can be a telescopic sleeve structure, ensuring the structure can extend and retract; the adjusting component 43 can be a threaded rod structure, with the thread adjusting the pressing pressure. The pressing mechanism 4 can apply pressure to the areola on the chest area for hemostasis, depending on the location of the surgical wound after robot-assisted thyroid surgery.

[0031] In some embodiments, the adjustment mechanism 5 includes a fixing seat 51 connected to one end of the first bandage 1. A fixing member 52 for fixing the other end of the first bandage 1 is provided at the center of the fixing seat 51. The bottom surface of the fixing member 52 has protrusions to increase the friction between the fixing member 52 and the first bandage 1, ensuring a secure fixation. It should be noted that the fixing member 52 can be a threaded rod structure for fixing the length of the first bandage 1. This adjustment mechanism 5 can precisely adjust the length of the first bandage 1 to meet the needs of different patients.

[0032] Specific application examples:

[0033] When patients require compression hemostasis after thyroid surgery, the specific application method of a pressure bandage specifically designed for robot-assisted hemostasis after thyroid surgery according to this application is as follows:

[0034] First, insert one end of the first bandage 1 into the fixing seat 51 of the adjustment mechanism 5. After the bandage is of appropriate length, rotate the fixing part 52 to fix it. The friction between the protruding fixing part 52 and the first bandage 1 ensures that it is firmly fixed. One end of the second bandage 2 is fixedly connected to the first bandage 1, and the other end is wrapped around the patient's neck area. It is used to fix the carotid artery and chest wound caused by thyroid surgery, ensuring that effective compression fixation can be provided for patients of different body types. Then, wrap the movable end of the second bandage 2 around the first bandage 1 several times, and then fix it to the first bandage 1 with Velcro 11.

[0035] Secondly, after the bandage is cross-fixed, it will inevitably not perfectly fit the wound according to the curve of the human body. The fixing mechanism 3 is installed onto the holes 21 on both sides of the appropriate first bandage 1 and second bandage 2 via the connecting rod 31. The pressing mechanism 4 between the two fixing mechanisms 3 is firmly fixed, controlling the expansion of the elastic element 41 until its bottom surface fits against the bandage. Rotating the adjusting component 43 causes the bottom surface of the elastic element 41 to compress the bandage, perfectly conforming to the curve of the wound surface. This pressure-based hemostasis ensures the patient's safety during postoperative recovery.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
