Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a blue light blocking eye mask for newborns. Background Technology

[0002] Blue light therapy is a common and effective treatment for neonatal jaundice. It works by irradiating the newborn with specific wavelengths of blue light, causing structural changes in bilirubin that make it easier to excrete from the body, thus lowering serum bilirubin levels and alleviating jaundice symptoms. Blue light can convert lipid-soluble unconjugated bilirubin into water-soluble isomers, which are then excreted through bile and urine. During blue light therapy for neonatal jaundice, the eyes and genitals are often covered. This is because blue light can penetrate the eyelids and reach the eyeballs, potentially causing retinal damage. Therefore, blue light blocking eye masks are typically used to cover the eyes. Currently, there are generally two types of blue light blocking eye masks: one uses a mesh cover for fixation, which has problems such as the mesh easily falling off and the eye mask easily shifting; the other uses direct adhesive, attaching the eye mask to both sides of the newborn's head. However, when not undergoing blue light therapy, the eye mask needs to be temporarily removed for cleaning the newborn's face or observing their condition. After repeated removal and removal, the adhesive strength of the eye mask decreases significantly, making it prone to falling off.

[0003] Based on the above problems, this utility model proposes a blue light blocking eye mask for newborns. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a blue light blocking eye mask for newborns. The light-blocking pad protects the newborn's eyes from blue light, and the fixing cover secures the pad to the outside of the eyes. The mask is then fixed to both sides of the newborn's head via an adhesive layer on the inner side of the connector. The inner walls of both ends of the fixing cover are connected to the outer walls of the connector via Velcro. This design allows for easy removal of the fixing cover and light-blocking pad when the newborn is not receiving blue light therapy or when the newborn's face needs to be washed, preventing slippage and avoiding repeated application that could damage the skin. It also allows for quick and easy use when blue light therapy is needed again.
