Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a medical harness, specifically a portable adjustable pacemaker support harness. Background Technology
[0002] Typically, after pacemaker implantation, the wound dressing needs to be compressed with sandbags for 4-6 hours to prevent bleeding and hematoma. However, current methods of using sandbags to compress the wound are prone to slipping, affecting the compression effect. Furthermore, the patient's effort to hold the sandbag down is physically demanding and can cause tension while lying down. Post-pacemaker implantation, the patient's operated arm must be immobilized to prevent electrode dislodgement, restricting movement and even preventing the patient from getting out of bed, thus hindering post-operative recovery. Therefore, in practical nursing care, a portable, adjustable pacemaker support strap is urgently needed to ensure adequate rest and post-operative recovery for patients. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides a portable adjustable pacemaker fixation strap, which aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing external fixation methods for pacemaker patients after cardiac intervention, such as the lack of ideal design, the risk of pacemaker electrode displacement, and the restriction of patient activity.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A portable adjustable pacemaker support strap includes an abdominal band, left and right shoulder straps fixed at one end to the back of the abdominal band and spaced apart, and an arm restraint strap fixed to the front of the abdominal band; the other ends of the left and right shoulder straps are crossed and draped over the patient's shoulders by a first fastener and connected to the front of the abdominal band in a manner that compresses the dressing at the wound site; one end of the arm restraint strap is fixed to the front of the abdominal band, and the other end is restrained to the front of the abdominal band by a second fastener.
[0005] Furthermore, both the first and second fasteners are Velcro, and the other ends of the left and right shoulder straps are provided with Velcro male surfaces. The front of the abdominal binder is provided with a first Velcro female surface and a second Velcro female surface that are bonded and matched with the Velcro male surfaces of the left and right shoulder straps. The left and right shoulder straps are bonded to the front of the abdominal binder by bonding and matching their Velcro male surfaces with the first and second Velcro female surfaces. One end of the arm restraint strap is sewn onto the front of the abdominal binder, and the other end of the arm restraint strap is provided with Velcro male surfaces. The front of the abdominal binder is also provided with a third Velcro female surface that is bonded and matched with the Velcro male surface of the arm restraint strap. The arm restraint strap uses this Velcro to restrain the arm to the front of the abdominal binder.
[0006] Furthermore, the abdominal binder includes an abdominal binder body, a fourth hook and loop fastener female surface located on the front of one end of the abdominal binder body, and a fourth hook and loop fastener male surface located on the back of one end of the abdominal binder body. The abdominal binder is fastened to the patient's abdomen by the adhesive fit between the fourth hook and loop fastener female surface and the fourth hook and loop fastener male surface.
[0007] Furthermore, the fourth hook and loop fastener female side is a horizontal strip of hook and loop fastener female side, and the number of such horizontal strips is three, and the three horizontal strips are arranged alternately; the fourth hook and loop fastener male side is a vertical strip of hook and loop fastener male side, and the number of such vertical strips is two, and the two vertical strips are arranged alternately.
[0008] Furthermore, the portable adjustable pacemaker support strap also includes an inflatable cushion, which includes an air cushion body, a hand-squeezable inflatable bladder for inflating the air cushion body, and an airway connecting the air cushion body and the inflatable bladder; the air cushion body is positioned between the intersection of the left and right shoulder straps of the air cushion body and the wound dressing.
[0009] As can be seen from the above description of this utility model, compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: The structure of this fixation strap is ideally designed, adopting an integrated strap design, which makes the compression (i.e., squeezing) of the dressing at the wound site after cardiac interventional surgery effective, solving the problems of easy slippage, exhaustion of the patient's physical strength, and limited mobility caused by the traditional method of using sandbags to press the dressing at the wound site; the arm restraint strap design, which is integrated with the front of the abdominal belt, can limit and fix the patient's arm, preventing it from being raised to avoid the pacemaker electrode from falling off or shifting, allowing the patient to get out of bed freely and resulting in good postoperative recovery. The first and second fixing components are both designed with Velcro, making it more convenient for the patient to wear this fixation strap and allowing for adjustable tightness, and it is also easy to carry. The arm restraint and the left and right shoulder straps are all attached to the front of the abdominal belt with Velcro, which allows the patient to easily remove the fixation with one hand in an emergency.

[0015] The following is a reference to the appendix. Figures 1 to 5 The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below.
[0016] See attached document Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A portable, adjustable pacemaker support strap includes an abdominal band 1, left and right shoulder straps 2 and 3, one end of which is fixedly connected to the back of the abdominal band 1 and spaced apart, and an arm restraint strap 4 fixedly connected to the front of the abdominal band 1. The other ends of the left and right shoulder straps 2 and 3 are crossed and draped over the shoulders of patient A via a first fixing member, and connected to the front of the abdominal band 1 in a way that compresses the dressing at the wound site. One end of the arm restraint strap 4 is fixed to the front of the abdominal band 1, and the other end is used to restrain arm B to the front of the abdominal band 1 via a second fixing member. This support strap has an ideal structural design, adopting an integrated strap design, which provides good compression (i.e., squeezing) of the dressing at the wound site after cardiac intervention. The arm restraint strap 4, which is integrated with the front of the abdominal band 1, can limit and fix patient A's arm B, preventing it from being raised and causing the pacemaker electrode to fall off or shift. Patient A can get out of bed and move around freely, resulting in good postoperative recovery.
[0017] See attached document Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5Both the first and second fasteners are Velcro. The other ends of the left and right shoulder straps 2 and 3 are each provided with a Velcro male face 51. The front of the abdominal binder 1 is provided with a first Velcro female face 52 and a second Velcro female face 53 that are bonded to the Velcro male faces 51 of the left and right shoulder straps 2 and 3. The left and right shoulder straps 2 and 3 are bonded to the front of the abdominal binder 1 by bonding the Velcro male faces 51 thereon with the first and second Velcro female faces 52 and 53 thereon. One end of the arm restraint strap 4 is sewn to the front of the abdominal binder 1. The other end of the arm restraint strap 4 is provided with a Velcro male face 41. The front of the abdominal binder 1 is also provided with a third Velcro female face 54 that is bonded to the Velcro male face of the arm restraint strap 4. The arm restraint 4 restrains the arm B to the front of the abdominal binder 1 through the Velcro (i.e., the bonding method between the Velcro male face 41 and the third Velcro female face 54). Both the first and second fasteners feature a Velcro design, making it more convenient for patients to wear the support strap, allowing for adjustable tightness, and also facilitating carrying. The arm restraint 4 and the left and right shoulder straps 2 and 3 are all attached to the front of the abdominal binder 1 using Velcro, allowing for easy one-handed release in emergencies. The arm restraint 4 is primarily a double-layered elastic bandage, enhancing the restraint effect on arm B. Alternatively, the first and second fasteners could also use other suitable connection methods such as buttons.
[0018] See attached document Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The abdominal binder 1 includes a binder body, a fourth hook and loop fastener female surface 11 located on the front of one end of the binder body, and a fourth hook and loop fastener male surface 12 located on the back of one end of the binder body. The abdominal binder 1 is fastened to the abdomen of patient A by the adhesive fit between the fourth hook and loop fastener female surface 11 and the fourth hook and loop fastener male surface 12. The fourth hook and loop fastener female surface 11 consists of three horizontal hook and loop fastener female surface strips, which are arranged alternately. The fourth hook and loop fastener male surface 12 consists of two vertical hook and loop fastener male surface strips, which are also arranged alternately. The use of the fourth hook and loop fastener female surface 11 and the fourth hook and loop fastener male surface 12 for adhesive fit makes it more convenient for patients to wear this fixing strap, and the tightness is adjustable. It is also easy to carry.
[0019] See attached document Figure 1 and Figure 2The portable adjustable pacemaker support strap also includes an inflatable cushion pad, which comprises an air cushion body 61, a hand-squeezable inflatable bladder 62 for inflating the air cushion body 61, and an airway 63 connecting the air cushion body 61 and the inflatable bladder 62. The air cushion body 61 is positioned between the intersection of the left and right shoulder straps 2 and 3 and the wound dressing. The inflatable cushion pad design allows the patient to adjust the pressure on the wound dressing by varying the amount of gas inflated into the air cushion body 61 through the hand-squeezable inflatable bladder 62, further enhancing the compression (i.e., squeezing) effect on the wound dressing after cardiac interventional procedures. The inflatable cushion pad design utilizes a common, existing structure available on the market; therefore, its specific structure and working principle will not be detailed further.
[0020] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
