Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically a toolbox for home dressing changes for diabetic foot patients. Background Technology

[0002] Patients with diabetic foot require regular foot dressing changes. Because they are often immobile, healthcare professionals need to bring ointment, dressing kits, iodine swabs, and saline solution to their homes for these visits. The dressing kit can be a reference to existing disposable sterile wound cleaning kits (manufactured by Shandong Chengshuo Medical Technology Co., Ltd.), which contain absorbent cotton balls, absorbent gauze, tweezers, and a blister pack. The kit contains many items and is inconvenient to carry.

[0003] The existing technology has the following problems:

[0004] 1. Medical staff usually use dressing carts to carry supplies to the wards of diabetic foot patients, but dressing carts are too large to be used for door-to-door dressing changes.

[0005] 2. Although traditional nursing kits are suitable for home dressing changes, they cannot be used to place the affected foot, nor can wastewater be collected into the existing foot basin during the dressing change process.

[0006] Currently, Chinese patent application number CN201921201274.1 discloses a portable care box for diabetic foot patients, including a box body, a pull rod, a pull-out treatment tray, a pull-out medicine box, and a pull-out waste box. The pull rod is height-adjustable and fixedly mounted on the upper end of the box body. A pair of toe sleeves with elastic pull ropes are fixed to both sides of the pull rod and the box body, serving as intertoe pullers for dressing changes. Each treatment tray is located on a sliding track on both sides inside the box body. The pull-out support legs are located on the lower end face of the pull-out waste box. However, problem 2 remains unresolved. Utility Model Content
