Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of newborn care technology, and in particular to a newborn umbilical cord protective cover. Background Technology

[0002] After a newborn is born, the umbilical cord needs time to fall off naturally and heal. During this period, keeping the umbilical cord dry and clean is crucial to prevent infection. However, traditional umbilical cord care methods include: firstly, wrapping it with gauze, which is easily soaked with urine, leading to infection, and is not convenient to use, especially when changing diapers, as it can easily cause unnecessary friction or contamination to the umbilical cord area; secondly, using umbilical cord protectors, but these protectors have insufficient breathability, and skin redness occurs after continuous use for 4 hours.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a search revealed Chinese patent application number CN202323636624.6, which discloses a neonatal umbilical cord protection device. This device includes a strap with a surrounding ring at one end, a rubber ball at the top of the surrounding ring, an mounting protrusion on the inner side of the surrounding ring, and a rubber pressure plate engaged on the outer side of the mounting protrusion. This patent offers simple and quick operation while preventing dressings and gauze from falling off, and strengthens fixation while ensuring good breathability at the neonatal umbilical cord site.

[0004] However, the newborn umbilical cord protection device in the above patent has the following shortcomings: First, using a strap to bind the baby's abdomen for a long time will not only make the baby uncomfortable, but also the baby's movements or diaper changes will cause the device's "encircling ring" to deviate from the navel position, making the umbilical cord easily rubbed; second, urine can easily seep into the navel area through the vent holes. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a newborn umbilical cord protection cover.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A newborn umbilical cord protection cover includes a hemispherical cover body, with an integral ring plate on the outer circumference of the cover body, and an elastic memory foam fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the ring plate, with an adhesive layer fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the elastic memory foam.

[0008] The top of the cover is connected to a top cover via a quick-release structure.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, release paper is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the adhesive layer.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: the inner circumference of the ring plate, the elastic memory foam and the adhesive layer is fixedly connected to the same ring-shaped drying indicator card;

[0011] The inner diameter of the drying indicator card is less than the inner diameter of the ring plate.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: the outer circumferential wall and the top surface of the cover are provided with openings, and the inner wall of the opening is fixedly connected with a breathable membrane.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, a through hole is provided at the top of the cover.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, a rubber block adapted to the through hole is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the top cover.

[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, the quick-release structure includes a locking block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom of the top cover and a locking slot opened on the top surface of the cover and adapted to the locking block.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a newborn umbilical cord protective cover, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This newborn umbilical cord protection cover features a hemispherical cover. To wear it, simply peel off the release paper and attach the cover to the center of the baby's abdomen using the adhesive layer. This protects the umbilical cord, and the transparent material allows others to clearly see the condition of the umbilical cord. It fits gently against the newborn's abdomen without causing discomfort, effectively isolates urine, and has a secure structure that does not cause discomfort to the baby.

[0018] 2. This newborn umbilical cord protector features a breathable membrane that effectively keeps the umbilical cord dry and breathable, promoting rapid healing without affecting diaper changes or the baby's normal activities. It also isolates the umbilical cord, reducing the risk of infection.

[0019] 3. This newborn umbilical cord protection cover allows the top cover to be pulled out to expose the through hole, so that medical staff can insert cotton swabs into the through hole to apply medicine and disinfect the newborn's navel. After that, the top cover is inserted into the through hole by the rubber block, and the block is inserted into the corresponding slot at the same time, so that the top cover and the cover body form a fixed connection relationship, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly and increases the functionality of the equipment.

[0020] 4. In this newborn umbilical cord protection shield, water molecules inside the shield will slide down the inner wall of the dome-shaped shield under centrifugal force onto the drying indicator card. Alternatively, if urine or other substances accidentally enter the shield and contaminate the drying indicator card, the card will change color, allowing medical staff or family members to observe and respond promptly, thus improving the functionality of the equipment and reducing the risk of umbilical cord infection.
