Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a neck protector after thyroid surgery. Background Technology
[0002] Thyroid surgery is a common surgical procedure for treating thyroid diseases, such as thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer. Post-surgery, the neck incision site is relatively fragile and easily affected by external factors. On the one hand, during neck movements or daily activities, the incision site may be pulled or rubbed, increasing the risk of complications such as wound dehiscence and bleeding. On the other hand, external pathogens such as bacteria may invade the incision, causing infection and affecting wound healing and patient recovery. Currently, although there are some simple measures for neck protection in clinical practice, such as simple bandaging with gauze and bandages, these methods have many shortcomings. Gauze and bandages are not secure enough, are prone to displacement, and cannot provide continuous and stable protection; moreover, their poor breathability may lead to dampness, itching, and even skin inflammation of the neck skin after prolonged use. Therefore, specialized neck protectors have emerged. However, existing neck protectors have certain drawbacks. For example, Chinese patent publication number "CN 215019806 U" discloses a post-thyroidectomy neck care sleeve. This post-thyroidectomy neck care sleeve consists of a shoulder guard, a neck sleeve, an adjusting rod, a rotating handle, an adjusting connecting block, and a shoulder pad. The adjusting connecting block can slide up and down to control the height of the neck sleeve. Even if the patient's neck length is different, the neck sleeve can provide protection and support. Since this device completely wraps around the patient's neck, although it can fix the patient's neck and cover it, it requires regular dressing changes after neck surgery. This device needs to be completely disassembled for dressing changes, increasing the difficulty and reducing the efficiency of subsequent dressing changes. Furthermore, although the device can adjust the support height, the adjustment range is limited, limiting its application scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0022] 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.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0024] A post-thyroidectomy neck protector includes a fixation member 1 fitted onto the patient's chest. The fixation member 1 has a constraint member 2 at its top. The constraint member 2 includes two support parts perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Two movable moving plates 26 are arranged between the two support parts. Each of the two movable plates 26 is fixedly connected to a bracket 28 on both sides in the horizontal direction. A shielding member 3 for shielding the patient's wound is installed between the four brackets 28. The shielding member 3 has a slot 33 that matches the bracket 28. A limiting screw 27 is screwed onto one side of the movable plate 26. The free end of the limiting screw 27 extends into the interior of the movable plate 26 and abuts against a guide rod 21.
[0025] Using the above technical solution, after a patient undergoes thyroid surgery, the fixation piece 1 is fixed to the patient's chest. Once the fixation piece 1 is fixed, two movable plates 26 are fitted between the two supporting parts. The two movable plates 26 are pulled along the two supporting parts. When the two movable plates 26 move to the desired position, the limiting screw 27 on one side of the movable plate 26 is rotated until the free end of the limiting screw 27 moves to the inner bottom supporting part of the movable plate 26, thereby fixing the two movable plates 26 in the desired position. The movable plates 26 abut against both sides of the patient's lower jaw, thereby fixing the patient's neck. Then, the shielding piece 3 is placed between the two movable plates 26, so that the shielding piece... The slot 33 on the shield 3 engages with the slot 33 on the movable plate 26, thereby fixing the shield 3 between the two movable plates 26. The shield 3 covers the wound after the patient has applied medication. When medical staff need to change the dressing on the patient's wound, they pull the shield 3 to separate the shield 3 from the bracket 28 on the movable plate 26, thus exposing the patient's wound so that the medical staff can perform the dressing change. After the medical staff has performed the dressing change, they place the shield 3 between the two movable plates 26, so that the slot 33 on the shield 3 engages with the slot 33 on the movable plate 26, thereby fixing the shield 3 between the two movable plates 26. The shield 3 covers the wound after the patient has changed medication.
[0026] In this utility model, regarding the aforementioned supporting portion, as follows: Figures 1-3 and Figure 6 As shown, the support part includes a guide rod 21, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing member 1, and two movable plates 26 are slidably connected between the two guide rods 21.
