Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nursing sleeve technology, specifically to an easy-to-wear upper limb lymphedema nursing sleeve. Background Technology

[0002] Lymphedema refers to the accumulation of soft tissue fluid in the body due to obstructed lymphatic drainage in certain areas, resulting in the proliferation of subcutaneous fibrous connective tissue and hardening of fat after repeated infections. In limbs, the skin thickens, becoming rough, tough, and resembling elephant skin in later stages, hence the name "elephantiasis." Upper limb lymphedema refers to swelling in the upper limbs. Sometimes, a sleeve is used to treat upper limb lymphedema, applying pressure to the limb to effectively drain lymph fluid from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.

[0003] However, existing upper limb lymphedema care sleeves have the following problems in terms of wearing and use: Most existing upper limb lymphedema care sleeves are one-piece sleeve structures, often requiring wearing from the hand to the upper limb. This wearing method is inconvenient for some patients with severe edema. Furthermore, although the sleeves are made of elastic material, the pressure cannot be adjusted as needed; there is a lack of a pressure-adjustable care sleeve for upper limb lymphedema. Therefore, a corresponding technical solution needs to be designed to address these technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an easy-to-wear upper limb lymphedema care sleeve, which solves the problem that most existing upper limb lymphedema care sleeves are one-piece sleeve structures, which often need to be put on from the hand and extend to the upper limb. This wearing method is inconvenient for some patients with more severe edema. In addition, although the sleeve is made of elastic material, it is not possible to adjust the pressure of the sleeve as needed. There is a lack of a care sleeve that can adjust the pressure for upper limb lymphedema, which solves this technical problem.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an easy-to-wear upper limb lymphedema care sleeve, comprising a mesh elastic band and a deformable sealing band sewn to one end of the mesh elastic band. The deformable sealing band includes an arc-shaped rubber band with an opening in the middle and several sets of sealing plugs evenly distributed on one side of the opening. The surface of the arc-shaped rubber band is processed with several sets of deformation grooves, which are distributed in a stacked manner. Several sets of plugs for use with the sealing plugs are evenly opened on the other side of the opening. The sealing plug includes an extension strip and a convex ball fixed to the outer end of the extension strip. The convex ball is inserted into the plug. The end of the mesh elastic band away from the deformable sealing band wraps around the mesh elastic band and passes through the opening. The convex ball presses the mesh elastic band and is placed in the plug.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the mesh elastic band is made of elastic material and has several sets of mesh holes on its surface.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the end section of the arc-shaped rubber strip has an arc-shaped structure and is made of elastic rubber material.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the plug includes an inner opening and two sets of arc-shaped protrusions formed at the opening of the inner opening. The diameter of the inner opening is equal to the diameter of the convex ball, and the distance between the two sets of arc-shaped protrusions is less than the diameter of the convex ball.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the convex ball is made of rubber material and has an overall spherical structure, and the convex ball is pressed into the inner cavity.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. This utility model improves upon the existing upper limb lymphedema nursing sleeve by designing it as an unfolded structure. When the patient's upper limb needs to be dressed, the unfolded sleeve can be placed under the patient's upper limb and wrapped around it once. The sleeve is then closed by the deformation sealing band on the sleeve. In addition, this design allows for adjustment of the tightness according to the needs of use, making it convenient for patients to make adaptive adjustments according to their own needs.

[0012] 2. The nursing sleeve designed in this utility model is convenient for patients to wear and adjust the pressure, which greatly improves the convenience and flexibility of the nursing sleeve. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: an easy-to-wear upper limb lymphedema care sleeve, including a mesh elastic band 1 and a deformable sealing band sewn to one end of the mesh elastic band 1. The deformable sealing band includes an arc-shaped rubber band 3 with an opening 2 in the middle and several sets of sealing plugs 4 evenly distributed on one side of the opening 2. The surface of the arc-shaped rubber band 3 is processed with several sets of deformation grooves 5, which are distributed in a stacked manner. Several sets of plugs 6 for use with the sealing plugs 4 are evenly opened on the other side of the opening 2. The sealing plugs 4 include an extension strip 7 and a convex ball 8 fixed to the outer end of the extension strip 7. The convex ball 8 is inserted into the plug 6. The end of the mesh elastic band 1 away from the deformable sealing band is wrapped around and passes through the opening 2. The convex ball 8 presses the mesh elastic band 1 and is placed in the plug 6.

[0019] Further improvements, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mesh elastic band 1 is made of elastic material and has several sets of mesh holes on its surface.

[0020] Further improvements, such as Figure 1 As shown, the three ends of the arc-shaped rubber band have an arc-shaped cross-section and are made of elastic rubber material, which facilitates deformation adjustment and does not affect the normal use of the cuff.

[0021] Further improvements, such as Figure 3 As shown, the plug 6 includes an inner opening 9 and two sets of arc-shaped protrusions 10 formed at the opening of the inner opening 9. The diameter of the inner opening 9 is equal to the diameter of the convex ball 8, and the distance between the two sets of arc-shaped protrusions 10 is less than the diameter of the convex ball 8. The arc-shaped protrusions 10 can limit the convex ball 8 pressed into the inner opening 9.

[0022] Specifically, the convex ball 8 is made of rubber and has an overall spherical structure. The convex ball 8 is pressed into the inner hole 9. This design makes it easy to insert the convex ball 8 into the inner hole 9 and press and seal the mesh elastic band 1.

[0023] When using: When it is necessary to put on the upper limb lymphedema care sleeve for the patient, first lay the mesh elastic band 1 flat and place the upper limb to be restrained on the mesh elastic band 1. Then, insert one end of the mesh elastic band 1 through the opening 2 to form a sleeve structure. Tighten the mesh elastic band 1 as needed. Adjust the pressure of the sleeve by pulling the mesh elastic band 1. When the appropriate pressure is adjusted, press one side of the arc-shaped rubber band 3 so that the sealing plug 4 is inserted into the plug opening 6 to achieve the purpose of limiting the end of the mesh elastic band 1.
