Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chest strap technology, specifically to a postoperative chest strap with a rapid pressure relief structure. Background Technology

[0002] Following open-chest surgery, the use of adaptive compression chest straps plays an important role in postoperative care. By applying appropriate pressure and fixation, they promote wound healing, reduce pain, prevent complications, and help patients restore normal breathing and bodily functions.

[0003] Traditional chest bands have some limitations in meeting the needs after open-chest surgery. The highest point of the chest band is often located under the armpit, and the horizontal wrapping method results in the upper part of the sternum not being effectively supported and fixed. Furthermore, the chest band is prone to displacement as the body moves and muscles stretch, thus affecting recovery.

[0004] While existing technologies can solve the above problems with vest-style chest straps, the chest straps are still quite wide, requiring considerable force to tear them open. In emergency situations, patients may find it difficult to quickly untie them. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a postoperative chest band with a rapid pressure relief structure to solve the technical problem that the existing chest bands have a large fixation range and are difficult to ensure that patients can quickly release the restraints in emergency situations.

[0028] 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.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model provides a postoperative chest band with a rapid pressure relief structure, including a rear piece 10, front pieces 20 on both sides of the rear piece 10, and an airbag 30 on the inner side of the front piece 20. After the two sets of front pieces 20 are enclosed and fixed, the airbag 30 is wrapped inside to form an adjustable pressure structure.

[0030] The airbag 30 is provided with at least two sets of air outlet pipes 31, and a sealing element 32 is provided on the air outlet pipe 31. When the sealing element 32 is pulled by an external force, it is separated from the air outlet pipe 31, so that the gas is discharged from the airbag 30 to form a pressure relief structure.

[0031] This invention uses a front and rear partitioned design to form an adjustable pressure chest band. The front piece has an adjustable pressure structure formed by an internal airbag, while the rear piece retains the chest band form, creating a structure with a thicker front and thinner back. The front piece compresses and fixes the chest cavity, and a pressure relief channel is reserved to ensure that in an emergency, the patient can quickly release the restraint through simple movements.

[0032] The rear piece 10 corresponds to the patient's back, and the front piece 20 corresponds to the patient's chest. The front piece 20 and the rear piece 10 surround and fix the patient's upper body chest cavity, and surround and fix the airbag 30 in front of the chest. The airbag 30 is inflated with an appropriate amount of air through an external inflation device to achieve the purpose of moderate pressure. In an emergency, the patient can pull the sealing piece 32 to quickly deflate the airbag 30 and reduce the pressure to relieve the restraint.

[0033] The back panel 10 and the front panel 20 are a one-piece structure, made of soft and comfortable materials such as cotton or elastic fibers, to adapt to the comfort of the skin and provide good breathability.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a reinforcing band 21 is provided on the inner side of the front piece 20. Both ends of the reinforcing band 21 are fixed to the front piece 20 to form an annular hollow support position 22. The reinforcing band 21 surrounds the airbag 30 and fixes it on the annular hollow support position 22.

[0035] The airbag 30 is enclosed and fixed between itself and the front piece 20 by the reinforcing band 21. The reinforcing band 21 is made of elastic fiber material or silicone material. During the inflation process of the airbag 30, the reinforcing band 21 is stretched and is under pressure. When the airbag 30 deflates, the reinforcing band 21 retracts through its own elasticity and applies a certain pressure to the airbag 30, which helps the gas in the airbag 30 to be discharged quickly, thus achieving the purpose of rapid deflation.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper surface of the back piece 10 and the upper surface of the front piece 20 are connected and fixed by the shoulder strap 11, and Velcro 23 is provided at the opening connection of the two sets of front pieces 20.

[0037] The shoulder strap 11 helps to keep the back piece 10 and the front piece 20 in a proper position on the patient's upper body, reducing the movement of the chest strap due to the patient's movements, and making it easier for the patient to wear. It also reduces vertical and horizontal displacement. At the same time, the Velcro 23 fixes the opening of the front piece 20, making it easy to wear and adjust the wearing circumference.

[0038] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sealing element 32 includes a sealing plug 321 and a fixing rod 322. The sealing plug 321 movably abuts against the air outlet pipe 31 to form a sealing structure.

[0039] The front piece 20 has a through groove 201, and a fixing ring 202 corresponding to the air outlet pipe 31 is provided in the through groove 201. One end of the sealing plug 321 passes through one end of the air outlet pipe 31 and extends into the fixing ring 202.

[0040] The air outlet tube 31 is sealed by the sealing plug 321, and one end of the sealing plug 321 is engaged in the fixing ring 202. This allows the sealing plug 321 to be guided outward from the fixing ring 202 when the patient pulls the fixing rod 322, reducing the possibility of obstructing the path of the sealing plug 321.

[0041] The airbag 30 depressurizes by venting through the air outlet tube 31. An air inlet tube 33 is provided at the top of the airbag 30, which allows for connection to an external inflation device, such as a small air inflator or a manually operated air pump, after the airbag is worn. This facilitates inflation of the airbag 30, ensuring it is in a suitable inflation state. By adjusting the amount of air in the airbag 30, the pressure can be adjusted according to the patient's needs, thus aiding in the patient's recovery.

[0042] At the same time, it is convenient to lead out the fixing rod 322 through the fixing ring 202, which is conducive to leaving the fixing rod 322 on the outside of the front piece 20 for the patient to operate by himself.

[0043] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, one end of the fixing rod 322 passes through the inner wall of the fixing ring 202 and extends to one side of the front piece 20. A connecting strip 324 is provided at one end of the fixing rod 322 through the bearing ring 323.

[0044] The seal 32 includes a pull ring 325, a connecting rope 326 is provided on the pull ring 325, and threaded tubes 327 are provided at both ends of the connecting rope 326;

[0045] One end of the connecting bar 324 is provided with a threaded end 328 that is threaded to the threaded tube 327.

[0046] The fixing rod 322 has an L-shaped structure and is connected to the connecting strip 324 via a bearing ring 323, facilitating independent rotation of the connecting strip 324. This allows the connecting strip 324 to be disassembled or installed via the threaded end 328 and the threaded tube 327. The bearing ring 323 is composed of a ball bearing universal swivel ring. A ball bearing universal swivel ring is a mechanical component that can roll freely in multiple directions, commonly referred to as a universal ball, universal ball, bullseye bearing, or bullseye wheel. It consists of a ball and a body. The ball can rotate freely within the cavity of the body, thus achieving smooth and precise load movement.

[0047] The connecting rope 326 is fixed to the connecting rope 326 on the two sets of front pieces 20 through the threaded tube 327, so that the sealing plugs 321 on the two sets of front pieces 20 can be connected to a pull ring 325. When the patient pulls the pull ring 325, multiple sealing plugs 321 can be detached from the air outlet tube 31. Through multiple air outlet tubes 31, the exhaust speed is increased, so that the air bag 30 is quickly deflated and flattened, thereby achieving the purpose of releasing the restraint.

[0048] By retaining only one pull ring 325, the possibility of confusion caused by blind operation by the patient in an emergency can be reduced. With only one pull ring 325, the patient only needs to pull once, which helps to improve the efficiency of self-release in an emergency.

[0049] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. The scope of protection of this application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to this application within its substance and scope of protection, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this application.
