Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a reusable knee joint ice pack device, belonging to the field of auxiliary rehabilitation equipment. Background Technology
[0002] After knee replacement surgery, patients need to rest in bed for at least three days before they can bend their knees and move around. While resting in bed after knee replacement surgery, there may be discomfort such as congestion and heat due to the wound in the area. At this time, you can use a towel to wrap ice cubes for cold compresses to improve local discomfort.
[0003] However, the current method of using a towel to wrap ice for cold compresses has the problem of not being able to secure it properly. In addition, since the patient has just undergone surgery, caregivers need to be careful to minimize touching the patient's wound during daily care to avoid causing discomfort. Currently, there is no device that combines ice application and protection, so improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0018] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0019] Specific implementation method one: as follows Figure 1-4As shown, this embodiment describes a reusable knee joint ice pack device, including a bracket 1; the bracket 1 is U-shaped, with limiting plates 5 fixedly connected to both ends of the bracket 1, and Velcro 2 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bracket 1; two sliding grooves 9 are symmetrically arranged on the bottom surface of the bracket 1; each sliding groove 9 has a slider 12 that slides and engages with it; a limiting block 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slider 12; the limiting block 13 has a through hole I 14, and the limiting plate 5 has a through hole II 15; a fixing strap 4 that slides and engages with it is provided in the through hole I 14 and through hole II 15; a Velcro strip 3 connected to the Velcro 2 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing strap 4 facing the bracket 1, and a loading bag 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing strap 4 away from the bracket 1; one side of the loading bag 8 has an opening, and the opening of the loading bag 8 is connected to the fixing strap 4 by a zipper 16; a stainless steel ice block 6 wrapped in a towel 7 is placed inside the loading bag 8. The total height of the bracket 1 and the limiting plate 5 is higher than the height of the patient's knee to prevent accidental contact with the knee and resulting discomfort. The distance between the two limiting plates 5 is greater than the width of the patient's knee, so that the patient can quickly disengage from the bracket 1 when they are able to move. The fixing strap 4 is a non-elastic fabric strap. The stainless steel ice cube 6 is reusable.
[0020] The bottom side of the bracket 1 has a through hole that runs horizontally through the bracket 1 and communicates with the slide groove 9; the slider 12 has a threaded hole and is connected to the screw 10 through the threaded hole, and the screw 10 is connected in the through hole by a bearing; a knob 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw 10 located outside the bracket 1. The position of the limiting block 13 is adjusted by the knob 11 to facilitate the installation of the fixing belt 4.
[0021] The two ends of the screw 10 have opposite threads, allowing the two limiting blocks 13 to move towards or in opposite directions.
[0022] When the knob 11 drives the screw 10 to rotate, it drives the slider 12 and the limiting block 13 to move in opposite directions.
[0023] The loading bag 8 can pass through the perforation I 14 and perforation II 15 together with the fixing strap 4.
[0024] The bracket 1 is made of rigid plastic.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this device, turn the knob 11, the knob 11 drives the screw 10 to rotate, and then drives the two sliders 12 to move in opposite directions, so that the two sliders 12 drive the two limit blocks 13 to move. Adjust the distance between the two limit blocks 13 to the maximum, then slowly lift the patient's affected limb, move the bracket 1 from the patient's foot to the patient's knee position, and place it on the hospital bed. Then pass the fixing strap 4 and the loading bag 8 through the perforation II 15 on one side, then through the two perforations I 14, and place the fixing strap 4 between the two perforations I 14 above the patient's knee. Finally, pass it through the other perforation II 15 to complete the installation.
[0026] Then rotate knob 11 to adjust the distance between the two limiting blocks 13 as described above, so that the two limiting blocks 13 are located on the side of the patient's knee and 3-5cm away from the knee. Then adjust the length of the fixing strap 4 between the two limiting blocks 13 so that it just covers the upper part of the patient's knee. After adjusting the length of the fixing strap 4, fix it to the Velcro 2 on the side of the bracket 1 through the Velcro tabs 3 on both sides of the fixing strap 4 to complete the fixation.
[0027] Finally, place the stainless steel ice cube 6 wrapped in the towel 7 into the loading bag 8 and zip up the zipper 16 to secure the stainless steel ice cube 6. After the ice application is complete, reverse the above operation, move the two limiting blocks 13 to the furthest distance, and then remove the fixing strap 4.
[0028] The support 1 is always placed on the patient's knee. The total height of the support 1 and the limiting plate 5 is higher than the height of the patient's knee when lying on the bed, which is used to protect the sides of the patient's knee. The blanket covering the patient covers the upper part of the limiting plate 5 to protect the upper part of the knee. This is to prevent caregivers from accidentally touching the patient's knee during routine care, such as wiping the patient's body, which could cause discomfort to the patient.
