Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a modified chest strap. Background Technology

[0002] After thoracic surgery, doctors may prescribe an elastic chest binder to help stabilize the chest, reduce pain, and promote recovery. However, most current chest binders are long and narrow, secured to the chest with Velcro or similar fasteners. During routine care, nurses need to open the binder to check the drainage tube's protrusion at the wound site to determine if it has dislodged. Current binders require the entire binder to be opened to view the tube, and re-binding it afterward is inconvenient and can cause pain to the patient. Furthermore, this long, narrow binder is only suitable for wounds below the armpit; if the wound is above the armpit, this horizontally binding method is ineffective. Utility Model Content

[0015] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 2 Example 1: An improved chest strap includes a chest strap body 1 and a back fixation plate 2. The chest strap body 1 consists of two parts: an integral chest underarm restraint strap 101 and a chest upper underarm extension plate 102. The two sides of the chest underarm restraint strap 101 are fixed by Velcro. The chest upper underarm extension plate 102 is connected to the back fixation plate 2 by two shoulder straps 3. An integral abdominal fixation strap 4 is provided below the back fixation plate 2. The two sides of the abdominal fixation strap 4 are fixed by Velcro. The chest underarm restraint strap 101 has a first cutting slit 5 extending from its edge to the wound position below the chest under the armpit. A first tight band 6 is provided on the first cutting slit 5. The chest upper underarm extension plate 102 has a second cutting slit 7 extending from its edge to the wound position above the chest under the armpit. A second tight band 8 is provided on the second cutting slit 7.

[0017] The chest axillary restraint band 101 in this embodiment is generally a long strip with a certain width. After wrapping around the patient's body under the armpit, it is fixed with Velcro and the back fixation plate 2 is pressed against the patient's back. The back fixation plate 2 is further tightened to the abdomen by the abdominal fixation band 4. The back fixation plate 2 extends to the upper part of the chest near the shoulder and is connected to the upper chest axillary extension plate 102 by the shoulder strap 3, thereby tightening the upper chest axillary extension plate 102. The chest axillary restraint band 101 can tighten wounds on the chest below the armpit, while the upper chest axillary extension plate 102 can tighten wounds on the chest above the armpit, which has a wider range of applications than conventional chest bands. In addition, by opening the first incision slit 5 and the second incision slit 7, it is convenient for nursing staff to view the wound or drainage tube. The first tightening band 6 and the second tightening band 8 apply pressure to the incision position when tightened. During nursing care, the first tightening band 6 and the second tightening band 8 are opened, and the chest band body on both sides of the first incision slit 5 and the second incision slit 7 can be lifted to view the wound or drainage tube. The chest strap body 1, back fixing plate 2, first tight strap 6, second tight strap 8 and abdominal fixing strap 4 are all made of a fabric material with a certain degree of elasticity.

[0018] Example 2: The first incision 5 extends vertically from the bottom edge of the restraint band 101 on the underarm side of the chest to the wound below the armpit. The second incision 7 extends obliquely from the edge of the extension piece 102 on the upper armpit side of the chest, near the right shoulder, to the wound above the armpit. The wound location for each patient is roughly within a certain range on the chest. The incisions can be designed in an L-shape, with a certain width after being opened, keeping the wound within the opened range.

[0019] Example 3: One side of the first tight strap 6 is fixed to the chest underarm restraint strap 101 on one side of the first cut seam 5, and the other side is fixed to the chest underarm restraint strap 101 on the back with Velcro. The first tight strap 6 can maintain greater tension after being stretched along the curve of the side of the body.

[0020] The upper side of the second tight band 8 is fixed to the upper axillary extension piece 102 on one side of the second incision 7, and the other side passes under the patient's right armpit and is fixed to the chest axillary binding band 101 on the back using Velcro. Similarly, the second tight band 8 can maintain greater tension after being stretched along the curvature of the body under the armpit.

[0021] Example 4: The shoulder strap 3 is fixedly connected to the back fixation plate 2. The shoulder strap 3 passes through the fixation ring 9 on the upper side extension plate 102 of the chest and is fixed by Velcro.

[0022] Example 5: The left side of the chest extension patch 102 on the upper axillary side of the chest is provided with an embedding hole 10, and a CT electrode pad is installed in the embedding hole 10. The CT electrode pad is preferably a left chest adhesive wireless transmission type, the product name is wearable ECG sensor, and it has a wireless signal receiver that can be plugged into the patient's bedside.
