Intelligent upper limb lymphatic reflux instrument

Abstract

The invention discloses an intelligent upper limb lymphatic reflux instrument which comprises an oversleeve, an air pipe and air bags, the six independent air bags are arranged in the oversleeve, a flexible film pressure sensor is arranged in each air bag, massagers are arranged corresponding to upper limb acupoints, the air bags are sequentially connected in series, the air pipe penetrates through the whole oversleeve, and the air bags and the air pipe are communicated through an electric control switch. The electric control switch and the flexible film pressure sensor are connected with a controller through data lines, and the controller is connected with an intelligent upper limb lymphatic reflux instrument system APP through a wireless network or Bluetooth. Treatment parameters can be set according to the condition of a patient, edema of the upper limb on the affected side is prevented and treated and discomfort of the upper limb on the affected side is relieved by massaging acupuncture points, dredging channels and collaterals and enhancing blood circulation and lymphatic circulation of the upper limb on the affected side, and use is convenient and safe.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical equipment, in particular to an intelligent upper limb lymphatic reflux instrument. Background technique [0002] After surgery for breast cancer patients, excessive cleaning of axillary lymph nodes destroys more communicating branches of the skin lymphatic network; fluid or infection in the axillary area causes local congestion, fibrosis, and scarring to hinder the establishment of collateral circulation; premature operation Radiation therapy for the posterior supraclavicular, subclavian and axillary regions can cause local edema, hyperplasia of connective tissue, local fibrosis and then cause edema. Upper extremity lymphedema is a chronic swelling state caused by damage to lymphatic vessels due to axillary lymph node dissection and venous return impairment. During the operation, too many branches of the axillary vein are ligated. If the cephalic vein is also ligated, it will cause poor reflux and edema; p...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

During the operation, too many branches of the axillary vein are ligated. If the cephalic vein is also ligated, it will cause poor reflux and edema; postoperative infusion, chemotherapy and other reasons cause inflammatory changes in the vein of the affected limb, which can lead to hyperplasia of the vein intima. Thick or even occluded, reflux disorder occurs; venous thromboembolism due to excessive extension of the incision to the arm, improper postoperative pressure bandage, and too late movement of the affected limb can also cause reflux disorder and even edema

The existing devices for treating lymphedema of the upper extremities, one is a sleeve-type pressure massage, the shell is made of metal, and has a large volume and weight; the other is a spring-type spring that may pinch the patient’s skin Simply put a certain amount of pressure on the upper limbs without acupoint massage, and cannot form a centripetal reflux from the distal end of the fingers to the upper limbs. The patient's comfort and effect in the treatment of lymphedema are limited, and it is impossible to carry out corresponding treatment according to the patient's condition
