Abstract

compress (1), especially for laryngectomized and tracheotomized, comprising a flat compress (1) with a bore (3) or opening (14) for performing a tracheostomy tube, characterized in that the upper edge comprises a radial region (2) with a radius greater than 11 cm, in a holding band contour (4) formed with rounded portions (6) and radii (5).

Description

The The present invention relates to a compress for laryngectomy and tracheotomized patients, consisting of a flat structure with an opening for performing a tracheal cannula or a tracheal tube.

laryngectomy, d. H. Persons whose larynx was removed and tracheostomized, d. H. Persons who have undergone a tracheotomy was needed after surgery laryngo-tracheal auxiliary devices or instruments for regulating the supply and discharge of respiratory air. Such auxiliary devices are in particular tracheostomy tubes and tracheal tubes. For relining and padding the same as well as for catching mucus or secretions find compresses Use. Such compresses are termed tracheal compress known.

Furthermore be means of protection from moisture by the exiting Secretions used. So-called Billroth bibs serve in particular as moisture protection, and be in connection used in particular with single-layered tracheal compresses.

Generic compresses are for example off DE 201 06 113 U1 known. Tracheal compresses usually have widths of 80 mm to about 150 mm and lengths of 80 mm to about 200 mm. Due to the substantially rectangular shape of the same, which is also found in Billroth bibs on the one hand, a fairly large area of skin around the surgical site is covered, so that here the skin breathing is largely hindered and it often comes to redness and irritation. In addition, the known from the prior art compresses do not fit smoothly to the neck of the operator, so that on the one hand, the suction effect of the same by reducing the suction surface is reduced by inadequate contact thereof with the skin area to be protected. On the other hand, it is desirable from the aesthetic point of view of the operators that a sticking of the compresses is avoided.

In the DE 20 2005 001 131 U1 is a compress with a flat body and an opening described.

Here Different types of compresses are characterized in that the lower and / or the upper edge region at least partially a Outer contour with at least a first radial element with has a radius R of less than 10 cm.

All Compresses have no teardrop shape with retaining band recess. Thereby the wearing comfort is restricted.

It It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a compress, especially for laryngectomized and tracheotomized, to make available the above, from does not have the disadvantages known from the prior art.

to Solution to this problem is inventively a Compress formed from a surface in the core Foam material, embedded in velor material, is present. This area is in teardrop shape with an implied Tether strip and an opening for performing a tracheal cannula or a tracheal tube. Of the Neck area is larger than 11 cm with a radius educated.

By the radial formation of the outer contour of the invention Compresses in the upper edge area is achieved on the one hand areas not needed for the absorption of mucus or secretions, for example, the absorbent of the compress, omitted, which causes the entire surface of the absorbent body reduced without losing their function. hereby is the possible range of skin redness or other skin irritation reduced, which benefits the surgeons.

Of Another is due to the compresses of the invention larger with radial element with the provided radii 11 cm a virtually full-scale system of the invention Compresses around the operated area at the neck of the operated, so that the entire absorbent surface for recording of mucus and secretions is available and a uniform Relining the tracheostomy tubes or tubes is reached.

By the design in the upper area with radius larger 11 cm and tether structure, the outer contour can be very variable be designed so that from an aesthetic point of view customized compresses are provided as desired can be.

Under Compresses in the context of the present invention are in particular Tracheal compresses, but also moisture protection like Billroth bibs, or combinations thereof, understood.

The Compress invention can be in a variety of Executions are executed. This can be special single or multi-chambered, single or multi-layered or laminated or unbacked.

In this case, the body facing Sei te have a Aluminiumbedampfung or embossing, optionally in combination with an aluminum vaporization. When training as a multi-chambered compress also different materials for the body can be used, for the body-side and the body-distant side, the different layers of material are connected to each other at the sides with a longitudinal seam. Here, other possibilities of the connection are conceivable, for example by embossing, gluing or the like.

Around the opening for performing in particular of tracheal cannulas or tubes can be transverse or star punched attached which facilitate the application of the compresses. In addition, can one usually led to the upper edge of the compress out Slit, vertical, angled or swinging or in each other type can be arranged, arranged so that it at the plant and the change of the compress is not necessary, always the tracheostomy tube or -tube to remove.

Especially the body-distant side of the invention Compress can be made of a material with a higher Stability and strength are running around to give the tracheostomy tube or tube a secure hold.

When Materials are known, in particular from the prior art, Nonwoven materials used, especially those in the airlaid process manufactured, and the compresses can in different color Embodiments, for example in white or in a each wearer adapted skin color executed be.

at a preferred embodiment of the invention Compress is the upper radial area greater than 11 cm trained.

in the Radial area is the contour of a tether elaborated. Outgoing from the tether contour the compress is formed as a teardrop shape, which increases the wearing comfort in the patient.

Farther Improved tangibility and aesthetics are realized Viewpoints through the advantageous design of the outer contour positively noted. Furthermore, by the pronounced retaining band contour in the upper radial area a better padding of the cannula carrying strap reached.

The The present invention can be used as a tracheal compress or moisture protection, especially for tracheotomy and laryngectomized, especially as Billroth bibs, or their combinations.

These and other advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following figures explained in more detail.

1 shows a total with the reference numeral 1 designated compress according to the invention ( 1 ), designed as a tracheal compress.

This has a flat body, designed as a suction body. The absorbent body is made of foam ( 9 ), which on both sides with velor ( 8th ) is coated.

In the planar body is a hole ( 3 ) with slots ( 10 ) for performing a tracheal cannula or a tracheal tube.

The flat compress ( 1 ) has a radial area in the upper area ( 2 ), which is larger than 11 cm. In the radial area ( 2 ) a holding band contour ( 4 ) with radii ( 5 ) and rounding off ( 6 ) shaped.

The lower edge area is, starting from the holding band contour ( 4 ), as a drop shape ( 7 ) educated.

The Compress has a width of 100 mm and a length of 140 mm.

Due to the special design of the drop shape ( 7 ), the holding band contour ( 4 ), which at the on and off the Compress ( 1 ) provides improved tangibility and allows better padding with the cannula retaining strap.

The 2 shows a second embodiment of the compress ( 1 ) with a moisture-repellent laminating film ( 12 ).

Furthermore, the opening ( 14 ) with a gap ( 11 ) to the radial area ( 2 ) worked out. To secure the gap ( 11 ) and for better Trachealkanülenfixierung a Velcro tape ( 13 ) with a material connection ( 15 ) on the velor ( 8th ) attached.

To lock the gap ( 11 ), the Velcro tape ( 13 ) with the velor ( 8th ) positively connected.

To remove the compress, the Velcro strip is loosened and the cannula, without removing it, through the open gap ( 11 ) drawn.
