Description

Lymph leakage brace after thyroid cancer surgery

Technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a brace for lymphatic leakage after thyroid cancer surgery.

Background technique

Patients with thyroid cancer accompanied by lateral lymph node metastasis in the neck need to undergo radical thyroidectomy (including dissection of regional cervical lymph nodes). Due to the complex anatomical structure of the neck, the varying surgical proficiency of the surgeons, and the large scope of the surgery , more thorough lymph node dissection and other reasons, sometimes the larger lymphatic vessels or thoracic ducts in the neck will be damaged. If not discovered and treated in time during the operation, lymphatic leakage will occur after the operation. Patients with postoperative lymphatic leakage will have a longer hospitalization time, and the wound is prone to infection, which will also have a certain impact on the patient's psychology. The principle of postoperative treatment for lymphatic leakage is mainly to reduce lymph fluid production and strengthen drainage. In the process of controlling lymph fluid production, the most important point is local (supraclavicular fossa area) pressure bandaging. Currently, there is no pressure bandaging brace that is easy to wear. Clinicians use bandages and gauze to compress the patient's supraclavicular fossa. Doctors have the following problems with self-bandaging: ① The local pressure cannot be well controlled, and it is difficult for pressure bandaging to achieve appropriate and balanced pressure intensity. When the duct has a large laceration and a large amount of chyle leakage, improper pressurization can promote the infiltration and leakage of chylous fluid into the tissue, causing more serious consequences, such as the formation of lymphocele, or even the need for a second surgery. ②The bandage has poor elasticity and is rough. Some patients may develop rashes and allergies after long-term exposure, and may also experience skin friction and damage, which affects their quality of life. ③When the patient is lying down, the chest bandage of male patients is prone to slipping upward, causing the shoulder bandage to loosen and affecting the compression effect. ④The existing local compression device is a gauze mass made by the doctor, which may not fully fit the shape of the supraclavicular fossa and is easy to slip out of the bandage, causing the compression bandage to loosen and affecting the therapeutic effect.

The soft outer layer is also provided with an anti-slip structure 41. Specifically, in this embodiment, the anti-skid structure 41 is provided on the surface of the side 4, and the three pressure support sides 4 are all provided with the anti-skid structure 41; more specifically, the anti-skid structure 41 is an anti-skid protrusion, and the anti-skid protrusions are multiple and uniform. A semi-circular protrusion with a curvature on the side surface. When bandaging, the bandage is tied to the side of the pressure support, and the anti-slip structure 41 can increase the friction between the bandage and the pressure support to avoid the problem of the pressure support slipping from the bandage. The soft outer layer is made of a material that can be cut and feels comfortable to the touch. It can be sponge, foam cotton, latex and other materials, with memory foam being the most preferred. The soft outer layer can be tailored and fine-tuned according to the patient's clavicular fossa structure to make the pressure support fit the clavicular fossa. The pressure support bottom surface 6 and the pressure support side 4 parts fit more closely to the affected area and distribute the pressure evenly. Specifically, the hard core 5 has a strip-shaped or truncated cone-shaped structure and is made of hard material that is not easily deformed. It plays a role in maintaining pressure and preventing the pressure support from deforming too much and affecting the pressure bandaging effect.

When in use, trim and adjust the pressure support according to the size of the patient's clavicle fossa, press it on the lymphatic leakage site, and wrap the pressure support with a bandage until the pressure support is stably fixed at the lymphatic leakage site.
