Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ice pack devices, specifically a postoperative ice pack device for the maxillofacial region. Background Technology

[0002] Postoperative ice packs for the maxillofacial region are medical devices used to assist in ice application therapy after maxillofacial surgery. After maxillofacial surgery, tissues are traumatized, vascular permeability increases, and fluid and cellular components from the blood leak into the interstitial spaces, causing swelling. Ice packs constrict local blood vessels, reducing blood flow and vascular permeability, thereby reducing exudation and alleviating tissue swelling. They effectively control the degree of swelling. Generally, timely use of an ice pack after surgery can significantly reduce the degree of swelling during the peak period compared to those who do not use ice packs, creating favorable conditions for wound healing and also helping to reduce local pressure and discomfort caused by swelling.

[0003] On the one hand, applying ice can reduce the sensitivity of nerve endings, slow down nerve conduction speed, and reduce the transmission of pain signals; on the other hand, it can reduce local tissue congestion and swelling, reduce pressure and stimulation on nerve endings, thereby relieving pain. Most patients experience varying degrees of pain relief after using ice packs, from unbearable severe pain to tolerable pain, and some patients can even achieve a state of near-painlessness, which helps improve patient comfort and sleep quality and promotes physical recovery.

[0004] According to the authorization announcement number CN 208770128 U, a maxillofacial ice pack device is disclosed, including a maxillofacial ice pack elastic cloth.

[0024] 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.

[0025] This utility model provides: a postoperative ice pack device for the maxillofacial region, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a fixed face mask 1, which is made of pure cotton. The fixed face mask 1 has a receiving cavity 2 in the middle, and an ice pack 3 is installed inside the receiving cavity 2. The fixed face mask 1, made of pure cotton, is soft and breathable, making it suitable for use on sensitive skin after surgery. The soft material also allows the fixed face mask 1 to fit completely against the patient's face, avoiding uneven ice application. The receiving cavity 2 is used to place the ice pack 3. The ice pack 3 can be removed from the fixed face mask 1 at any time after use, and the fixed face mask 1 can be reused.

[0026] The fixed mask 1 has several sets of connecting seats 4 symmetrically woven on both sides. Each set of connecting seats 4 has a fixing strap 5 securely fastened inside. These fixing straps 5 include low-elasticity straps, high-elasticity straps, and medium-elasticity straps. Two sets of fixing straps 5 are glued together. Each set of fixing straps 5 has a cushioning pad 7 installed on its inner side. The fixed mask 1 is placed on the patient's face. Different elasticity fixing straps 5 are installed inside the connecting seats 4 according to different areas of the patient's face, allowing the fixed mask 1 to fit snugly against the patient's face. Low-elasticity straps provide strong fixation, ensuring the ice pack fits firmly against the jaw and face, preventing displacement. High-elasticity straps provide greater comfort and adaptability, adjusting elastically according to the patient's facial contours and head movements, reducing pressure. Medium-elasticity straps strike a balance between fixation and comfort, providing a certain level of fixation while ensuring patient comfort. By using multiple elastic fixation straps 5 in combination, the fixation mask 1 made of flexible material can fit the patient's face, avoiding uneven ice application and ensuring the effectiveness of the device's ice application, thus ensuring the effectiveness and safety of postoperative care.

[0027] Preferably, the lower part of the fixed mask 1 has an installation groove, and two sets of chain teeth 8 are symmetrically installed in the middle of the installation groove. The same pull head 9 is slidably installed in the middle of the two sets of chain teeth 8. When medical staff or patients need to replace the ice pack 3, they only need to gently pinch the pull head 9 and pull along the chain teeth 8 to open the bottom of the fixed mask 1. The chain teeth 8 and the pull head 9 cooperate to remove the ice pack 3 inside the fixed mask 1 at any time for replacement, ensuring the ice pack effect of the device on the patient. This operation process is extremely simple. Whether it is a weak postoperative patient trying it on their own or medical staff operating it in a busy work rhythm, it can be easily completed, increasing the practicality of the device.

[0028] Preferably, a protective cover 10 is woven and installed on the inner side of the fixed face mask 1. One side of the protective cover 10 is closely attached to the lower surface of the fixed face mask 1, corresponding to the mounting groove. The protective cover 10 covers the outside of the chain teeth 8 and the zipper pull 9, forming a physical barrier to ensure that these rigid components do not directly contact the patient's facial skin. This effectively prevents the rigid components from rubbing or pressing on the sensitive skin after surgery, avoids skin damage, improves wearing comfort, prevents secondary injury to the patient, and protects the patient's face.

[0029] Furthermore, a third hook and loop fastener 11 is installed on one side of the protective cover 10, and a fourth hook and loop fastener 12 is installed on the front side of the fixed face mask 1 corresponding to the third hook and loop fastener 11. The third hook and loop fastener 11 is attached to the side of the fourth hook and loop fastener 12. The third hook and loop fastener 11 installed on the side of the protective cover 10 is used to attach to the fourth hook and loop fastener 12 on the front side of the fixed face mask 1, so that the protective cover 10 can be fixed and plays a role in isolating the chain teeth 8 and the zipper pull 9.

[0030] Furthermore, the ice pack 3 is wrapped with a temperature buffer layer 13, which is made of non-woven fabric. The temperature buffer layer 13 can reduce the direct contact between the ice pack and the skin, prevent the skin from being damaged due to excessively low temperature, and allow the cold energy to be transferred to the skin more evenly, thereby improving the ice pack effect, making the ice pack process gentler and reducing discomfort. At the same time, the temperature buffer layer 13 slows down the melting speed of the ice pack and prolongs the ice pack time.

[0031] It is worth noting that the temperature buffer layer 13 is wrapped with a waterproof and leak-proof layer 14, which is made of medical-grade silicone. The waterproof and leak-proof layer 14 can effectively prevent the ice inside the ice pack 3 from melting and seeping out, avoiding wetting the patient's clothes, sheets or other items, keeping the environment clean and dry, reducing the cleaning trouble caused by liquid leakage, and at the same time blocking the condensation formed on the surface of the ice pack due to the low temperature and the contact with the outside hot air, preventing the condensation from wetting the surrounding items or skin, making the patient feel more comfortable, and also avoiding discomfort or skin problems caused by prolonged contact with a humid environment.

[0032] Specifically, the waterproof and leak-proof layer 14 is wrapped with an adhesive layer 15. The adhesive layer 15 is made of gel material and has breathable holes on its surface. The adhesive layer 15 is made of soft and skin-friendly material, which can reduce friction and pressure on sensitive skin after surgery. At the same time, it can closely fit the patient's facial curves to ensure that there are no gaps between the ice pack device and the skin, improve the uniformity of the ice pack effect, and avoid excessively high or low local temperatures. The design of the adhesive layer 15 directly affects the patient's user experience. A good adhesive layer can reduce postoperative discomfort and improve patient satisfaction.

[0033] More specifically, the outer side of the adhesive layer 15 is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 2. The surface of the adhesive layer 15 has evenly distributed raised structures. The tight fit between the adhesive layer 15 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 2 ensures that the ice pack 3 can be stably fixed on the jaw and face, preventing the ice pack 3 from shifting or loosening, thereby ensuring the uniformity and continuity of the ice pack effect. The raised structures can increase the contact area between the ice pack and the skin, allowing the cold energy to be transferred more evenly to the postoperative area and improving the efficiency of the ice pack.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
