Detailed ways

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1 , which is a structural diagram of a neck cover provided by an embodiment of the present invention, it includes: two side neck pillows 1 , which are symmetrically arranged on both sides, and both are arranged protruding toward the inside;

The observation part 2, the two ends are respectively connected to the two side neck pillow bodies 1;

Wherein, the inner body of the side neck pillow 1 and the observation part 2 are made of memory foam, and the memory foam inside the side neck pillow 1 is provided with gel 3; the observation part 2 is provided with observation window.

The observation window is made of transparent material, specifically, the observation window is made of gel 3 .

In an example of the present invention, the main body of the present invention adopts memory foam, because the memory foam has an open cell structure, has the characteristics of temperature-sensing and decompression, and is breathable and hygroscopic. Memory foam conforms well to the curvature of the neck and has a certain amount of pressure. The polymer gel has good flexibility and shock absorption and compression resistance. On the basis of memory foam, the embedded gel can slightly increase some pressure on the basis of memory foam, and at the same time, the gel can make up for the disadvantage of memory foam that increases with temperature; install the observation part 2 on the male At the Adam’s apple, the transparent properties of the gel can be used to observe whether the dressing is exuding, which is conducive to the progress of nursing work; and the top of the observation window is still made of memory foam to avoid discomfort for male patients with prominent Adam’s apple, and the pressure on the neck from the front and middle of the neck is less than On both sides, it can also avoid excessive pressure on the trachea and make the patient feel difficult to breathe.

Commonly used methods to prevent bleeding and postoperative pain and edema after microwave/radiofrequency ablation of thyroid nodules. However, they all have their drawbacks and limitations: most of the patients are afraid of invasive procedures, and they are always in a state of tension during the operation and even before the operation, so the patients are mostly tired after ablation. At this time, if the patient is instructed to press the ablation site for 30 minutes, it is not only unfavorable for the patient to rest, but even when the patient's strength is insufficient or the hand accidentally touches the ablation site, it will cause bleeding from the wound surface. Although ice packs can replace the pressure on the neck to stop bleeding to a certain extent, it also has its drawbacks: most of the ice packs used in clinics are "self-made ice packs" - tap water, normal saline, normal saline + tap water, normal saline plus ethanol, etc. Put it into degradable plastic bags, sterile gloves, balloons and other containers, freeze it in the refrigerator for a certain period of time, and apply it to the patient's neck after it becomes solid; in order to prevent liquid from soaking sterile dressings, patient clothes or quilts, bed sheets, etc. Items, some centers sandwich two layers of towels on this basis, and then apply them directly over the sterile patch at the patient's puncture site.

The neck skin is thin and tender, and the trachea is very close to the skin. Although there is tracheal cartilage support, these materials will undoubtedly make patients feel "compressed and uncomfortable", and in severe cases will cause patients to feel respiratory distress. In addition, if the amount of ice cubes and the duration of the cold compress are not well controlled, complications such as blood clots or pressure ulcers may occur. What's more: living items such as towels do not meet the "sterile" requirements! This is a potential source of infection for patients who have just undergone ablation.

The neck has its structural specificity: from the front, it is anterior neck skin-soft tissue-muscle-thyroid-trachea; from the side, it is anterior neck skin-soft tissue-muscle-carotid sheath-thyroid-trachea/esophagus ; From this, we can know that when compressing the wound surface to prevent bleeding after thyroid nodule ablation, if the force is too small, it will not be enough to achieve the purpose; if the force is too large, it is easy for the patient to feel short of breath and a sense of oppression.

The present invention takes the anatomical structure of the neck into consideration, and the lateral neck occipital body 1 is arranged to protrude inwardly, which increases the pressure on the thyroid and carotid artery sheath. The pressure in the anterior center of the neck is slightly lower than on the sides to avoid excessive compression of the trachea.

The invention can effectively prevent the occurrence of hemorrhage after thyroid nodule ablation, effectively reduce postoperative pain and local edema, and is more helpful for patients to rest and recover. Special cervical sleeve after thyroid ablation.

A plurality of gels 3 are arranged in the memory foam inside the side neck pillow 1 at intervals, which can make the pressure received by the entire side neck pillow 1 more uniform and improve wearing comfort.

The side neck pillow body 1 and the observation part 2 are designed according to the curves of various parts of the human body, which conforms to the ergonomic principle, so that the entire memory foam pillow core is more compliant and conforms to the comfortable experience of the human body.

The two side neck pillows 1 are integrally connected with the ends away from the observation window.

A connecting part is also arranged between the two side neck pillow bodies 1 for installing the present invention on the neck of a patient.

The connecting member is an elastic band, and both ends of the elastic band are respectively fixed and installed on the ends of the two side neck pillows 1 away from the observation window.

In order to connect the neck pillows 1 on both sides together, the connecting member includes a connecting belt 4, one end of the connecting belt 4 is fixedly connected to one of the side neck pillows 1, and the other end of the connecting belt 4 is connected to the other side neck The pillow body 1 is detachably connected.

Preferably, specifically, the connecting belt 4 is provided with a Velcro A part, and the other side neck pillow body 1 is provided with a Velcro B part matched with the Velcro A part. This arrangement is convenient for connecting the two side neck pillows 1 together, and for putting the present invention on the neck of a patient.

As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the connecting belt 4 is connected to the other side neck pillow 1 through a button, so as to connect the two side neck pillows 1 together.

In order to improve the ventilation effect of the connecting belt 4, the connecting belt 4 is made of a breathable mesh cloth, and specifically, the connecting belt 4 is a honeycomb-shaped breathable mesh cloth.

Because the neck circumference of healthy people is 35 cm for women and 38 cm for men; the width of the neck circumference is generally between 10 and 14 cm. The size of each lobe of the thyroid is generally 5cmX gel 3cmX observation part 2cm and the right lobe is slightly larger than the left lobe, and the upper pole of the right lobe is higher than the left lobe, while the lower pole is lower than the left lobe. The thyroid isthmus is generally lower in men, mostly at the level of the upper sternum; obese women, the elderly, and those with shorter necks also have a lower thyroid isthmus. The normal thyroid area is 12~18cm2. The thyroid gland is often atrophied in the elderly. Therefore, the total length of the neck pillow part 1 on both sides of the neck sleeve is 26-28cm, the width is 2.5-3.5m, and the height is 6-8cm. -4.5cm (the remaining height of about 3cm is replaced by memory foam, so as to avoid pressure on those with prominent Adam's apple). The connecting belt 4 is 35-45cm long to facilitate the use of patients with different neck circumferences.
