Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the technical field of surgical instruments, and in particular to a postoperative ice pack bandage and pressure device. Background Technology

[0002] To reduce blood and tissue fluid leakage from the surgical site and thus decrease swelling, it is often necessary to apply ice to the surgical site after surgery.

[0003] However, existing ice pack devices often use adhesive bonding, and the pressure applied to the surgical site relies on the adhesion method. This often fails to ensure that the ice pack components adhere firmly to the surgical site, thus failing to guarantee the effectiveness of the ice pack. Furthermore, during disassembly, the adhesive adhesion may be too strong, causing pulling on the wound and resulting in secondary damage. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a postoperative ice pack bandage and pressure device that can improve the fit between the ice pack bandage and the surgical site.

[0005] According to one aspect of this disclosure, a postoperative ice pack is provided, the postoperative ice pack comprising a bandage, an ice pack component, and a pressure device, wherein the bandage is configured to be wrapped around the surgical site of a patient; the ice pack component is disposed inside the bandage and corresponds to the surgical site; the pressure device is disposed on the bandage and applies pressure to the ice pack component to compress the ice pack component against the surgical site.

[0006] The technical solution disclosed herein allows for the tight binding of a bandage to the surgical site, with the ice pack component located inside the bandage and corresponding to the surgical site. This design enables the ice pack component to fit snugly against the skin of the surgical site. For example, when used for ice pack application after limb surgery, such as on the legs or arms, the bandage can be wrapped according to the shape of the limb, allowing the ice pack component (such as cooling gel) to make full contact with the skin around the surgical wound. This ensures that the cold energy of the ice pack can be effectively transferred to the tissue, reducing local blood and tissue fluid exudation, and thus better reducing swelling.

[0007] Furthermore, compared to traditional ice application methods (such as simply placing an ice pack), the pressure device applies appropriate pressure to the ice pack components. Appropriate pressure allows the ice pack components to adhere more firmly to the surgical site, enhancing the ice application effect. Taking ice application after knee surgery as an example, suitable pressure allows the cooling gel to better conform to the complex contours of the knee joint, ensuring even distribution of cold around the surgical area and preventing insufficient contact between the ice pack and the surgical site due to gravity or other factors. Traditional ice packs may slip or experience reduced contact area on the sides of the body, while this pressure-based ice application method can consistently and stably fix the ice pack components in the correct position.

[0008] Optionally, the restraint strap includes a strap body and an inner attachment, wherein the inner attachment is disposed on the inner wall surface of the strap body, and the inner attachment and the strap body surround to form an accommodating cavity for accommodating the pressurizing device.

[0009] Optionally, the pressurizing device includes an upper slide plate, a lower slide plate, a first pull rope, and a second pull rope. The upper slide plate is slidably connected to the belt body, and the lower slide plate is slidably connected to the inner sleeve. Both the side of the upper slide plate adjacent to the lower slide plate and the side of the lower slide plate adjacent to the upper slide plate are provided with a plurality of inclined blocks, and the inclined surfaces of the inclined blocks of the upper slide plate and the inclined surfaces of the inclined blocks of the lower slide plate cooperate with each other. One end of the first pull rope is connected to the upper slide plate, and the other end of the first pull rope passes through the accommodating cavity. One end of the second pull rope is connected to the lower slide plate, and the other end of the second pull rope passes through the accommodating cavity. The first pull rope and the second pull rope are located at opposite ends of the accommodating cavity.

[0010] Optionally, the pressurizing device is configured as an elastic member that fills the accommodating cavity.

[0011] Optionally, the belt has a ring structure.

[0012] Optionally, the two ends of the belt are disconnected.

[0013] Optionally, the ice pack component is located on the side of the inner lining away from the pressure device, and the ice pack component is detachably connected to the inner lining.

[0014] Optionally, the postoperative ice pack bandage may further include an ice pack bag with an opening, the ice pack bag being connected to the inner lining, and the ice pack component being disposed inside the ice pack bag.

[0015] Optionally, the ice pack component is attached to the side of the inner part away from the pressure device by adhesive or Velcro.

[0016] According to another aspect of this disclosure, a pressurizing device is provided, the pressurizing device comprising an upper slide plate, a lower slide plate, a first pull rope, and a second pull rope, wherein the upper slide plate is used for sliding connection with a belt body, the lower slide plate is used for sliding connection with an inner attachment, and a plurality of inclined blocks are provided on the side of the upper slide plate adjacent to the lower slide plate and the side of the lower slide plate adjacent to the upper slide plate, the inclined surfaces of the inclined blocks of the upper slide plate cooperating with the inclined surfaces of the inclined blocks of the lower slide plate; one end of the first pull rope is connected to the upper slide plate, and one end of the second pull rope is connected to the lower slide plate.

[0019] To reduce blood and tissue fluid leakage from the surgical site and thus reduce swelling, it is often necessary to apply ice to the surgical site after surgery. Applying ice causes vasoconstriction, reduces blood flow, inhibits the spread of inflammatory mediators, and relieves swelling.

[0020] Existing ice pack devices often use adhesive bonding, but the pressure applied to the surgical site relies on the adhesion method, which often fails to ensure that the ice pack components adhere to the surgical site under pressure, thus failing to guarantee the ice pack effect. In addition, when disassembling, the adhesive bonding effect may be too strong, causing the wound to be pulled and resulting in secondary damage. Furthermore, this method cannot apply light pressure to the surgical area to enhance the ice pack effect.

[0021] Therefore, this disclosure uses a strap to bind the ice pack component to the patient's surgical site, and sets a pressure device on the side of the ice pack component away from the surgical site, so as to apply pressure to the ice pack component so that the ice pack component fits into the surgical site, enhances the ice pack effect, and facilitates disassembly.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this disclosure, but not all embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the postoperative ice pack of this embodiment includes a restraint band 100, an ice pack component 200, and a pressure device 300. The restraint band 100 is configured to be wrapped around the patient's surgical site to secure the postoperative ice pack. The ice pack component 200 is located inside the restraint band 100 and corresponds to the surgical site, allowing it to contact the surgical site for ice application. For example, the ice pack component 200 can be a cooling gel. The pressure device 300 is located on the restraint band 100 and applies pressure to the ice pack component 200 to pressurize and adhere it to the surgical site.

[0024] In this way, the bandage 100 can be tightly bound to the surgical site, while the ice pack component 200 is located inside the bandage 100 and corresponds to the surgical site. This design allows the ice pack component to fit snugly against the skin of the surgical site. For example, when used for ice packs after limb surgery, such as on the legs or arms, the bandage 100 is placed over or wrapped around the limb, allowing the ice pack component 200 (such as cooling gel) to make full contact with the skin around the surgical wound. This ensures that the cold energy of the ice pack can be effectively delivered to the tissue, reducing local blood and tissue fluid exudation, and thus better reducing swelling. At the same time, the bandage 100 is easy to remove.

[0025] Furthermore, compared to traditional ice application methods (such as simply placing an ice pack), the pressure device 300 applies appropriate pressure to the ice application component 200. This appropriate pressure allows the ice application component 200 to adhere more firmly to the surgical site, enhancing the ice application effect. Taking ice application after knee surgery as an example, suitable pressure allows the cooling gel to better conform to the complex contours of the knee joint, ensuring even distribution of cold around the surgical area and preventing insufficient contact between the ice pack and the surgical site due to gravity or other factors. Traditional ice packs may slip or experience reduced contact area on the sides of the body, while this pressure-based ice application method can consistently and stably fix the ice application component in the correct position.

[0026] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the restraint strap 100 includes a strap body 110 and an inner attachment 120. The inner attachment 120 is disposed on the inner wall surface of the strap body 110. The inner attachment 120 and the strap body 110 surround and form a cavity 130 for accommodating the pressure device 300, thereby concealing the pressure device 300 and improving the overall aesthetics. At the same time, the restraint strap 100 can also isolate the pressure device 300 from the skin, preventing the pressure device 300 from causing pressure damage to the skin.

[0027] For example, the inner lining 120 can be sewn onto the belt body 110 or glued to it.

[0028] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the pressurizing device 300 includes an upper slide plate 310, a lower slide plate 320, a first pull rope 330, and a second pull rope 340. The upper slide plate 310 is slidably connected to the belt body 110, and the lower slide plate 320 is slidably connected to the inner attachment 120. The upper slide plate 310 adjacent to the lower slide plate 320 and the lower slide plate 320 adjacent to the upper slide plate 310 are provided with a plurality of inclined blocks. The inclined surfaces of the inclined blocks of the upper slide plate 310 and the inclined surfaces of the inclined blocks of the lower slide plate 320 are matched. One end of the first pull rope 330 is connected to the upper slide plate 310, and the other end of the first pull rope 330 passes through the accommodating cavity 130. One end of the second pull rope 340 is connected to the lower slide plate 320, and the other end of the second pull rope 340 passes through the accommodating cavity 130. The first pull rope 330 and the second pull rope 340 are located at opposite ends of the accommodating cavity 130. Thus, by pulling the first pull rope 330 and the second pull rope 340, the upper slide plate 310 and the lower slide plate 320 can slide relative to each other. Under the action of the inclined plane, the belt 110 and the inner attachment 120 move away from each other, thereby causing the inner attachment 1200 to apply appropriate pressure to the ice pack component 200, ensuring a close fit between the ice pack component 200 and the surgical site. Simultaneously, the pressure applied to the ice pack component 200 by the pressure device 300 can be controlled by adjusting the length of the first pull rope 330 and the second pull rope 340, allowing for precise pressure control based on different surgical sites, patient body shapes, and wound conditions. For surgical sites with looser tissue or more exudate, appropriately increasing the pressure helps control swelling more effectively; while for areas with thinner or more sensitive skin, the pressure can be appropriately reduced to prevent local skin damage due to excessive pressure. After adjusting the pressure, the second ends of the first pull rope 330 and the second pull rope 340 are tied together to complete the fixation.

[0029] In this embodiment, the belt body 110, inner attachment 120, upper slide plate 310 and lower slide plate 320 can be made of flexible material with a certain degree of hardness, so that they can conform to the shape of the surgical site and facilitate the sliding of the upper slide plate 310 and lower slide plate 320 relative to the belt body 110 and inner attachment 120.

[0030] In some other embodiments, the pressurizing device 300 is configured as an elastic member that fills the accommodating cavity 130.

[0031] In this embodiment, the belt body 110 and the inner lining 120 can be made of flexible materials, and the elastic components can be springs, rubber blocks, etc.

[0032] In some embodiments, the band 110 has a ring structure, so that the band 110 can be fixed at the surgical site by elastic sleeve.

[0033] In some other embodiments, the two ends of the band 110 are disconnected and fixed to the surgical site by means of binding buckles.

[0034] Optionally, the ice pack component 200 is located on the side of the inner attachment 120 away from the pressure device 300, and the ice pack component 200 is detachably connected to the inner attachment 120. Thus, because the ice pack component 200 and the inner attachment 120 are detachably connected, it can be easily replaced when the ice pack component (such as cooling gel) loses its ice-packing effect. For example, during prolonged postoperative ice packing, the cooling gel may heat up after a period of time, losing its effective ice-packing effect. At this time, medical staff or patients can easily remove the ineffective ice pack component and replace it with a new one, thus ensuring the continuity of ice packing. Furthermore, this design allows for the replacement of ice pack components of different shapes, sizes, or materials according to different surgical sites and ice packing needs. For example, for smaller surgical wounds, a smaller ice pack component can be used, while for larger surgical areas, a larger ice pack component can be used to improve the precision and effectiveness of ice packing.

[0035] Regarding the detachable connection between the ice pack component 200 and the inner attachment 120, in some embodiments, the postoperative ice pack bandage also includes an ice pack bag with an opening, the ice pack bag being connected to the inner attachment 120, and the ice pack component 200 being disposed inside the ice pack bag.

[0036] In some other embodiments, the ice pack component 200 is bonded to or connected via Velcro on the side of the inner attachment 120 away from the pressure device 300. In this way, the hooks and loops of the Velcro interlock generate significant friction and adhesion, ensuring a tight connection between the ice pack component 200 and the inner attachment 120, preventing easy loosening. During postoperative ice application, even with slight patient activity, the ice pack component 200 remains in the correct position, maintaining its ice-cooling effect.

[0037] In another aspect of this disclosure, a pressurizing device 300 is also provided. The pressurizing device 300 includes an upper slide plate 310, a lower slide plate 320, a first pull rope 330, and a second pull rope 340. The upper slide plate 310 is slidably connected to the belt body 110, and the lower slide plate 320 is slidably connected to the inner attachment 120. The side of the upper slide plate 310 adjacent to the lower slide plate 320 and the side of the lower slide plate 320 adjacent to the upper slide plate 310 are provided with a plurality of inclined blocks. The inclined surfaces of the inclined blocks of the upper slide plate 310 and the inclined surfaces of the inclined blocks of the lower slide plate 320 are matched. One end of the first pull rope 330 is connected to the upper slide plate 310, and one end of the second pull rope 340 is connected to the lower slide plate 320.
