Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ventilator fixation cap technology, specifically an adjustable head circumference sheet-type ventilator fixation cap. Background Technology

[0002] The main reasons for newborns using ventilators are respiratory failure or immature respiratory function, which is common in premature infants, asphyxia, congenital abnormalities, or infections. When newborns (especially premature or critically ill infants) are using ventilators, if they unconsciously move their hands, causing the ventilator tubing to dislodge, the mask to shift, or self-injury, it can affect ventilation and even cause danger.

[0003] A nasal cannula fixation cap is a key tool for stabilizing the nasal cannula on a ventilator, effectively preventing cannula displacement, dislodgement, or skin pressure injuries. Current fixation caps are fixed in size and cannot be adjusted. For newborns, healthcare professionals use different head circumference caps depending on whether the infant is full-term or premature. This results in a gap between the cap size and the newborn's head circumference. An excessively large gap can affect the stability of the nasal cannula, leading to breathing difficulties in the newborn. An excessively small gap affects wearing comfort. Furthermore, current fixation caps are generally strap-type, which has a small contact area with the newborn's eyebrows or head, easily causing pressure sores or abrasions to the skin on the eyebrows or head. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problems mentioned above, this utility model provides an adjustable head circumference sheet-type ventilator fixation cap.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An adjustable head circumference sheet-type ventilator fixation cap includes a sheet-type cap body, the cap body includes a first connecting strap and a second connecting strap disposed on opposite sides, and a forehead protection pad is provided on the upper part of the cap body, the forehead protection pad being located between the first connecting strap and the second connecting strap;

[0007] Both the first connecting strap and the second connecting strap have inner and outer sides. The inner side of the first connecting strap is provided with a first textured Velcro strap / a first hook Velcro strap, and the outer side of the second connecting strap is provided with a second hook Velcro strap / a second textured Velcro strap that is compatible with the first connecting strap. The outer side of the first connecting strap is provided with a clamping device that can clamp the nasal cannula of the ventilator.

[0008] The forehead protection pad is positioned below the inner side of the second connecting strap when the first and second connecting straps are connected.

[0009] The specific structure of the aforementioned clamping component is as follows: the clamping component includes a third hook-faced Velcro strap / third rough-faced Velcro strap and a clamping band detachably connected to it.

[0010] Preferably, the connection points between the cap body and the first and second connecting straps are both provided with an arc-shaped transition.

[0011] To balance the pressure and protect the newborn's skin, the forehead protector is equipped with a detachable cushioning pad. The cushioning pad and the forehead protector are detachably connected by adhesive or clips, and the cushioning pad is filled with memory foam.

[0012] Preferably, the sum of the maximum thicknesses of the cushioning pad and the forehead protection pad is greater than the thickness of the cap body.

[0013] To facilitate folding the forehead protector to the newborn's eyebrows and reduce the large gap between the forehead protector and the newborn's head at the connection point between the forehead protector and the cap body, pleats are provided between the forehead protector and the cap body.

[0014] Furthermore, the forehead protective pad and the cushioning pad are both curved edges on the side furthest from the cap body.

[0015] Preferably, the length of the first hook-and-loop Velcro strap is shorter than the length of the second hook-and-loop Velcro strap, and the vertical distance between the second hook-and-loop Velcro strap and the point where it connects to the cap body and the first connecting strap is 1-5 cm. This reduces the possibility of excess Velcro strap rubbing against or contacting the newborn's head or side face when the first connecting strap connects to the second connecting strap, thus reducing the risk of skin abrasions to the newborn.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] The sheet-like cap body serves as the main connecting part at the bottom of the ventilator fixing cap. It is used to place under the newborn's head and can also connect two connecting straps and a forehead protection pad to its sides and top, respectively. The cap body, the first connecting strap, the second connecting strap, and the forehead protection pad are combined to form a fixing cap. The clamp on the outer side of the first connecting strap is used to fix and support the nasal cannula of the ventilator, providing support. The length of the forehead protection pad can be the same as the length of the cap body and has a suitable width, so that it can be placed close to the newborn's forehead to protect the newborn's head and eyebrows, reducing the risk of pressure sores or abrasions to the newborn's skin when the first and second connecting straps are connected to the newborn's head. The adhesive connection length of the first and second connecting straps is adjustable, allowing for adaptive adjustment according to newborns with different head circumferences.

[0018] The forehead protector has a large contact area with the newborn's eyebrows or head. This large contact area can distribute the pressure on the newborn from a single point to the entire forehead area, reducing the pressure.

[0019] Because the forehead protector has a large contact area with the newborn's eyebrows or head, this part needs to be disinfected or cleaned after use. In order to allow the same newborn's cap to be reused or used within a suitable time period, a removable, cleanable, or disinfectable cushioning pad is set on the forehead protector. The cushioning pad is filled with soft materials such as memory foam, which can be removed for cleaning or disinfection in a timely manner. The rest of the cap can be used normally by the same newborn. Attached Figure Description

[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an adjustable head-circumference sheet-type ventilator cap includes a sheet-type cap body 1. The cap body 1 includes a first connecting strap 2 and a second connecting strap 3 disposed on opposite sides. A forehead protection pad 4 is provided on the upper part of the cap body 1, located between the first connecting strap 2 and the second connecting strap 3. The connection points between the cap body 1 and the first connecting strap 2 and the second connecting strap 3 are both curved.

[0028] Both the first connecting strap 2 and the second connecting strap 3 have inner and outer surfaces. The inner surface of the first connecting strap 2 is provided with a first looped Velcro strap 5, and the outer surface of the second connecting strap 3 is provided with a second hooked Velcro strap 6 adapted to the first connecting strap 2. The outer surface of the first connecting strap 2 is provided with a clamping member 7 capable of clamping the nasal cannula of the ventilator. The clamping member 7 includes a third hooked Velcro strap 701 and a clamping strap 702 detachably connected to it. The side of the clamping strap 702 connected to the third hooked Velcro strap 701 is a looped Velcro strap adapted to it. The clamping strap 702 has a certain length and is capable of clamping the nasal cannula onto the third hooked Velcro strap 701.

[0029] It should be noted that the sheet-like cap body 1 described in this embodiment serves as the main connecting part at the bottom of the ventilator fixing cap. It is used to place under the newborn's head and can also connect two connecting straps and a forehead protection pad 4 to its sides and top, respectively. The cap body 1, the first connecting strap 2, the second connecting strap 3, and the forehead protection pad are combined to form a fixing cap. The clamping piece 7 on the outer side of the first connecting strap 2 is used to fix and support the nasal cannula of the ventilator, thus providing support. The length of the forehead protection pad 4 can be the same as the length of the cap body 1, and it has a suitable width so that it can be placed close to the newborn's forehead to protect the newborn's head and eyebrows, reducing the risk of pressure sores or abrasions to the newborn's skin when the first connecting strap 2 and the second connecting strap 3 are connected to the newborn's head.

[0030] The forehead protector 4 is positioned below the inner side of the second connecting strap 3 when the first connecting strap 2 and the second connecting strap 3 are connected. To facilitate folding the forehead protector 4 to the newborn's eyebrows and reduce the large gap between the forehead protector 4 and the cap body 1 and the newborn's head, a pleat 9 is provided between the forehead protector 4 and the cap body 1.

[0031] To prevent the forehead protector 4 and the cushioning pad 8 from forming a sharp right angle that cannot be folded away from the cap body 1 after folding, both the forehead protector 4 and the cushioning pad 8 have curved edges on the side away from the cap body 1. The sum of the maximum thicknesses of the cushioning pad 8 and the forehead protector 4 is greater than the thickness of the cap body 1, so that the first connecting strap 2 and the second connecting strap 3 do not directly adhere to the newborn's cheek.

[0032] To balance the pressure and protect the newborn's skin, a detachable cushioning pad 8 is provided on the forehead protector 4. The cushioning pad 8 is detachably connected to the forehead protector 4 by adhesive or clips, and is filled with medical-grade flexible materials such as memory foam. Since the forehead protector 4 has a large contact area with the newborn's eyebrows or head, this area requires special disinfection or cleaning after use. To allow the same newborn's cap to be reused or used within a suitable timeframe, a detachable, cleanable, and disinfectable cushioning pad 8 is provided on the forehead protector 4, allowing for timely removal for cleaning or disinfection. The rest of the cap can be used normally on the same newborn.

[0033] The length of the first hook-and-loop Velcro strap 5 is shorter than the length of the second hook-and-loop Velcro strap 6. The vertical distance between the second hook-and-loop Velcro strap 6 and the point where it connects to the cap body 1 and the first connecting strap 2 is 1-5 cm. The distance can be adjusted according to the actual situation to reduce the friction or contact between the excess Velcro strap of the first connecting strap 2 and the newborn's head or side face when the first connecting strap 2 and the second connecting strap 3 are connected, thus reducing the risk of skin abrasions to the newborn.

[0034] In this embodiment, the forehead protection pad 4 has one side of the buffer pad 8 as the inner side. When in use, the cap body 1 is first placed under the newborn's head, and the forehead protection pad 4 and the buffer pad 8 are folded inward together to the newborn's eyebrow position, so that the buffer pad 8 contacts the newborn's eyebrow. Then, the second connecting strap 3 and the first connecting strap 2 are folded over, so that the first hook-and-loop Velcro strap 5 and the second hook-and-loop Velcro strap 6 are connected, and the third hook-and-loop Velcro strap 701 and the clamping strap 702 are located on the upper outer side. The nasal cannula segment is securely connected by the clamping strap 702 and other movable connectors to facilitate the normal use of the ventilator.
