Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical supplies technology, specifically a postoperative care belt for thoracic surgery. Background Technology
[0002] Thoracic surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on the study of organs within the thoracic cavity. Procedures such as radical resection of lung cancer, tracheal and bronchial artery repair, pulmonary artery reconstruction, radical resection of esophageal cancer, radical resection of gastric cardia cancer, esophageal leiomyoma resection, and esophageal myotomy all fall under thoracic surgery. After thoracic surgery, a nursing bandage is needed to wrap the incision to prevent damage from external factors. Currently, the common clinical practice is to cover the patient's incision dressing with a sterile drape, which is then fixed to the patient's chest using multiple layers of gauze. However, this method is prone to loosening, requires regular replacement, and is difficult to remove, causing inconvenience for nurses. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a postoperative nursing bandage for thoracic surgery.
[0003] For example, a postoperative care belt for thoracic surgery, with announcement number CN215937832U, relates to the technical field of postoperative care supplies for thoracic surgery. Its specific structure includes a chest binding section, with a neck strap connected to the top. Left and right straps are connected to the sides of the chest binding section, respectively, and are connected together by an adhesive mechanism. An air bladder for press-to-declare is fixed to the back of the chest binding section. This utility model is convenient to wear, eliminating the need to raise both arms and avoiding tearing at the incision site. Furthermore, if the pressure on the chest feels insufficient after wearing, the size of the air bladder can be controlled by pressing, gradually increasing the pressure on the chest as the air bladder enlarges. The overall structure is simple, further reducing costs and significantly improving the practicality of this care belt.
[0004] The aforementioned patent can change the pressure on the chest by controlling the size of the airbag. However, in actual use, since the airbag is a large inflatable structure, the contact area with the patient is limited while it is being inflated. After inflation, the gas will move to both sides due to the patient's movement. At this time, the pressure provided by the airbag to the patient is not concentrated, and the overall comfort level decreases. Therefore, there are still some inconveniences in actual use.
[0005] Therefore, we have proposed a postoperative care belt for thoracic surgery to address the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a postoperative care belt for thoracic surgery to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Because the airbag is a large inflatable structure, the contact area with the patient is limited during inflation. After inflation, the gas will move to both sides due to the patient's movement. At this time, the pressure provided by the airbag to the patient is not concentrated, and the overall comfort is reduced. Therefore, there are still some inconveniences in actual use.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a postoperative care belt for thoracic surgery, comprising a care belt body and shoulder straps fixedly installed on both sides of the care belt body. Two connecting straps are fixedly installed on both sides of one side of the care belt body. Velcro is fixedly provided on the side wall of each connecting strap. Adjacent connecting straps are glued together by Velcro, and the connecting straps together form a medication application area.
[0008] The nursing belt body has several equidistant ventilation holes on both sides, and sponge blocks are fixedly installed inside both sides of the nursing belt body, with the sponge blocks positioned between the ventilation holes.
[0009] Preferably, the nursing belt body has several airbags equidistantly arranged inside, and a connecting tube is fixedly installed between the airbags.
[0010] Preferably, the plurality of airbags are interconnected via the connecting tube.
[0011] Preferably, an air inlet pipe is fixedly installed at the upper end of one of the airbags, and the air inlet pipe is connected to the airbag.
[0012] Preferably, a sealing cap is threaded onto the upper end of the air intake pipe.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. When using this device for rehabilitation treatment after thoracic surgery, the nursing belt body can be fixed to the patient's chest by the interlocking straps. The height of the nursing belt body can be adjusted by the shoulder straps. After the nursing belt body is adjusted to a suitable position, the medication application area formed by the multiple connecting straps is located at the postoperative wound on the patient's chest. Medication or disinfection can be performed on the patient through the medication application area as needed. The device can be used with an operation window reserved at the postoperative wound on the patient's chest to facilitate the subsequent auxiliary recovery work of medical staff without the need to remove the device.
[0015] 2. With the coordination of the ventilation holes, shoulder straps, sponge blocks, air bladders, connecting tubes, air inlet tubes, and sealing caps, when using this device for post-thoracic surgery rehabilitation, the nursing strap body can first be adjusted to a suitable height on the patient's chest using the connecting straps and shoulder straps. To ensure a tighter fit between the nursing strap body and the patient, air can be inflated into the air bladders through the air inlet tubes. Air enters the air bladders through the air inlet tubes and then enters other air bladders through the connecting tubes, inflating multiple air bladders simultaneously. When the air bladders are inflated to a suitable thickness, they are sealed with the sealing caps. When worn, the sides of the body can breathe through the ventilation holes, and the generated sweat can be absorbed by the sponge blocks, keeping the patient's sides cool and ventilated. In actual use, the device can inflate multiple air bladders simultaneously through the air inlet tubes, and the connecting tubes ensure that multiple air bladders inflate to the same thickness, resulting in better comfort. The ventilation holes and sponge blocks keep the patient's sides cool and ventilated. Attached Figure Description
