Description

Medical ice manufacturing equipment Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of ice-making equipment, specifically a medical ice-making device. Background Technology

[0002] For routine ice use or emergency ice needs in medical and health departments, purchases are typically made from ice factories by dispatching dedicated personnel and vehicles. This presents several inconveniences for hospitals. First, the purchased ice blocks are large and require manual crushing before being packed into ice packs. The remaining ice cannot be stored, resulting in a waste of manpower and resources. Second, if the ice factory is closed or there is a power outage, the problem of obtaining ice becomes unsolvable. For hospitals located far from ice factories or with inconvenient transportation, purchasing ice from factories is often insufficient, delaying treatment and causing irreparable damage.

[0003] Using ice packs for cooling is one of the most commonly used physical cooling methods in orthopedics. Swelling peaks 24-72 hours after a limb fracture, with local swelling and bruising compressing surrounding nerves, causing not only pain but also tension blisters. The presence of blisters is a contraindication for surgery. Cold compresses reduce oxygen consumption in tissue metabolism, inhibit the production of tissue fluid and lymph, reduce bleeding and blister formation, effectively alleviating edema and pain, and buying time for earlier surgery. Therefore, to ensure the effectiveness of ice packs, nursing staff should adopt scientific and effective procedures. Technical issues
