Description

Wärmedeckenanordnung für die Verwendung bei Operationen in Blanket assembly for use in operations in

Spitälern oder ähnlichemHospitals or the like

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Wärmedeckenanordnung für die Verwendung bei Operationen in Spitälern oder ähnlichem, mit einer einen Patienten zudeckbaren wärmespeichernden Decke.The invention relates to a thermal blanket arrangement for use in operations in hospitals or the like, with a heat-storing blanket that can be covered over a patient.

Bei Operationen in Spitälern, Krankenhäusern, Arztpraxen oder dergleichen ist es notwendig, dass die zu operierende Person (oder Tier) während dem Eingriff zumindest bei den nicht zu operierenden Körperteilen mit einer Wärmedecke zugedeckt wird, damit dieser Körperteil mit einer genügenden Wärmezufuhr versorgt wird. Bislang wurden die wieder verwendbaren Wärmedecken jeweils nach einer Operation gewaschen und gegebenenfalls durch eine teure chemische Reinigung wieder einsatzbereit gestellt.For operations in hospitals, hospitals, doctor's surgeries or the like, it is necessary that the person (or animal) to be operated on is covered with a warm blanket, at least for the parts of the body that are not to be operated, so that this part of the body is supplied with sufficient heat. So far, the reusable thermal blankets have been washed after each operation and, if necessary, made available for use again by expensive chemical cleaning.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung wurde demgegenüber die Aufgabe zugrundegelegt, eine Wärmedecke nach der eingangs erwähnten Gattung zu schaffen, bei der in einfacher und kostengünstiger Weise eine Verschmutzung einer herkömmlichen wärmespeichernden Decke weitgehend verhindert und diese Decke über eine längere Zeitdauer wieder verwendet werden kann.In contrast, the present invention was based on the object of providing a thermal blanket of the type mentioned at the outset, in which contamination of a conventional heat-storing blanket is largely prevented in a simple and inexpensive manner and this blanket can be reused over a longer period of time.

Die Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass die Decke mit einer abnehmbaren Schutzhülle überzogen ist, die ein flüssigkeitsundurchlässiges Material zwecks Verhinderung einer Beschmutzung der Decke aufweist.The object is achieved according to the invention in that the blanket is covered with a removable protective cover which has a liquid-impermeable material for the purpose of preventing the blanket from becoming dirty.

Mit dieser erfindungsgemässen nassfesten Schutzhülle kann eine Verschmutzung der wärmespeichernden Decke während einer Operation sicher verhindert werden, so dass die Decke für eine Vielzahl von Operationen - ohne diese einer teuren Reinigung zu unterziehen - verwendet werden kann.With this wet-resistant protective cover according to the invention, contamination of the heat-storing blanket can be reliably prevented during an operation, so that the blanket can be used for a large number of operations without having to undergo expensive cleaning.

Bei einer sehr vorteilhaften Ausführung ist die Schutzhülle innenseitig mit einer flüssigkeitsundurchlässigen Folienschicht und aussenseitig mit einer mit dieser Folienschicht verbundenen Papier- oder einer Gewebeschicht versehen. Damit kann diese Schutzhülle sehr kostengünstig hergestellt werden und sie eignet sich daher für den Einmalgebrauch.In a very advantageous embodiment, the protective cover is provided on the inside with a liquid-impermeable film layer and on the outside with a paper or fabric layer connected to this film layer. This protective cover can therefore be manufactured very inexpensively and is therefore suitable for single use.

Sehr vorteilhaft besteht die Papierschicht aus einem saugfähigen Material ähnlich einem Fliesspapier, so dass mit ihr die auf die Schutzhülle ge- langenden Flüssigkeiten bzw. Flüssigkeitsgemische komplett aufgesogen und vor einem Weiterfliessen auf die Decke zurückgehalten werden.The paper layer very advantageously consists of an absorbent material similar to a flow paper, so that it can be used to apply the long liquids or liquid mixtures are completely absorbed and retained on the ceiling before continuing to flow.

Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sowie weitere Vorteile derselben sind nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigt:Embodiments of the invention and further advantages thereof are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. It shows:

Wärmedecke mit einer erfindungsgemässen Schutzhülle.Thermal blanket with a protective cover according to the invention.

Fig.1 und Fig.2 zeigen eine Wärmedeckenanordnung 10 mit einer wenigstens ein nicht näher gezeigtes Heizelement enthaltenden Decke 11. Diese Wärmedeckenanordnung 10 wird insbesondere für die Abdeckung eines nicht näher gezeigten Patienten bei einer Operation benutzt. Mit ihr werden die Körperteile des Patienten abgedeckt, die geschützt werden sollen und bei diesen damit eine Unterkühlung verhindert wird. Die Wärmedecke kann beispielsweise eine Grosse von 1900 mm Länge und eine Breite 500 mm aufweisen. Von der Decke 11 ist ferner noch ein elektrisches Verbindungskabel 11 ' angedeutet, welches an ein Stromnetz an- schliessbar ist.1 and 2 show a thermal blanket arrangement 10 with a blanket 11 containing at least one heating element, not shown in detail. This thermal blanket arrangement 10 is used in particular for covering a patient, not shown in detail, during an operation. It covers the parts of the patient's body that are to be protected and thus prevent hypothermia. For example, the thermal blanket can be 1900 mm long and 500 mm wide. An electrical connection cable 11 'is also indicated from the ceiling 11 and can be connected to a power supply.

Erfindungsgemäss ist die Decke 11 mit einer abnehmbaren Schutzhülle 15 überzogen, die aus einem flüssigkeitsundurchlässigen Material zwecks Verhinderung einer Beschmutzung der Decke 11 besteht.According to the invention, the ceiling 11 is covered with a removable protective cover 15, which consists of a liquid-impermeable material for the purpose of preventing the ceiling 11 from becoming dirty.

Diese Schutzhülle 15 ist innenseitig mit einer flüssigkeitsundurchlässigen Folienschicht 15" und aussenseitig mit einer mit dieser Folienschicht 15" verbundenen Papier- oder Gewebeschicht 15' versehen. Die Papierschicht 15' ist aus einem saugfähigen Material ähnlich einem Fliesspapier hergestellt, so dass mit ihr die auf die Schutzhülle 15 gelangende Flüssigkeit oder Flüssigkeitsgemisch absorbiert wird. Für die Papierschicht 15' wird ein reiner Zellstoff, indessen für die flüssigkeitsundurchlässige Folienschicht 15" wird vorteilhaft Poly-Ethylen verwendet. Mit dieser Kombination der Materialien ergibt sich eine einfach und kostengünstig im Trockenverfahren herstellbare Schutzhülle.This protective cover 15 is provided on the inside with a liquid-impermeable film layer 15 "and on the outside with a paper or fabric layer 15 'connected to this film layer 15". The paper layer 15 'is made of an absorbent material similar to a flow paper, so that it absorbs the liquid or liquid mixture reaching the protective cover 15. A pure cellulose is used for the paper layer 15 ', but poly-ethylene is advantageously used for the liquid-impermeable film layer 15 ". This combination of materials results in a protective cover which can be produced simply and inexpensively in the dry process.

Zweckmässigerweise besteht die Schutzhülle 15 aus zwei sich überdeckenden Hüllenlagen 16, 17, bei denen jeweils aussenseitig die Papierschicht 15' und innenseitig die Folienschicht 15" befindlich ist. Am Aus- senumfang sind sie durch eine Schliessnaht 13 aneinander befestigt, wobei dies durch ein Nähen oder ein Kunststoff-Verschweissen oder dergleichen erfolgen kann.The protective cover 15 expediently consists of two overlapping cover layers 16, 17, each of which has the paper layer 15 ′ on the outside and the film layer 15 ″ on the inside. They are fastened to one another on the outer circumference by a closing seam 13, this being done by sewing or plastic welding or the like can take place.

Am einen Seitenrand ist eine Öffnung 19 vorgesehen, durch welche die Decke 11 in die Schutzhülle 15 hineingelegt bzw. geschoben werden kann. Diese Öffnung 19 ist auf der Längsseite der Schutzhülle 15 angebracht. Im Endbereich dieser Längsseiten sind die beiden Hüllenlagen 16, 17 durch Nähte 13' miteinander verbunden, damit die Decke 11 nicht ohne weiteres aus der Schutzhülle 15 herausfallen kann.At one side edge there is an opening 19 through which the cover 11 can be placed or pushed into the protective cover 15. This opening 19 is made on the long side of the protective cover 15. In the end region of these long sides, the two sheath layers 16, 17 are connected to one another by seams 13 ', so that the cover 11 cannot easily fall out of the protective sheath 15.

Die Wärmedecke 10 ist bei einem Einsatz in einer Operation derart angeordnet, dass die jeweilige Öffnung 19 in der Schutzhülle 15 zu der der Operation ausführenden Stelle abgekehrt ist.When used in an operation, the thermal blanket 10 is arranged in such a way that the respective opening 19 in the protective cover 15 faces away from the location performing the operation.

Fig.3 zeigt noch eine Variante einer Wärmedeckenanordnung 20, welche an sich gleich wie diejenige nach Fig.1 ausgestaltet ist. Es sind daher nachfolgend nur deren Unterschiede erläutert. Diese Wärmedecke 20 eignet sich ganz besonders für die Abdeckung der Oberschenkel sowie Teil des Unterleibes der zu operierenden Person.FIG. 3 shows a variant of a heat blanket arrangement 20 which is configured in the same way as that of FIG. Therefore, only their differences are explained below. This thermal blanket 20 is particularly suitable for covering the thighs and part of the abdomen of the person to be operated on.

Erfindungsgemäss sind die Decken 21 wiederum mit einer abnehmbaren Schutzhülle 25 überzogen, die mit einem flüssigkeitsundurchlässigen Material zwecks Verhinderung einer Beschmutzung der Decken 21 versehen ist.According to the invention, the ceilings 21 are in turn covered with a removable protective cover 25, which is provided with a liquid-impermeable material for the purpose of preventing the ceilings 21 from becoming dirty.

Diese Wärmedeckenanordnung 20 ist hierbei in zwei Hälften unterteilt, welche beim einen Ende der Längsseite durch ein Verbindungsstück 28 miteinander verbunden sind, so dass sich eine Hosenform ergibt, bei der je eine Hälfte auf einen Oberschenkel legbar ist. Die Schliessnähte 23 sind U-förmig am Umfang der jeweiligen Hälfte angebracht, so dass auf der Seite des Verbindungsstückes 28 eine entsprechende Öffnung 29 für das Einschieben der Decke 21 vorliegt, durch die auch das elektrische Kabel 1 1 ragt.This heat blanket arrangement 20 is in this case divided into two halves, which are connected to one another at one end of the long side by a connecting piece 28, so that a trouser shape results, in which each half can be placed on a thigh. The closing seams 23 are U-shaped on the circumference of the respective half, so that on the side of the connecting piece 28 there is a corresponding opening 29 for the insertion of the ceiling 21, through which the electrical cable 11 also protrudes.

Die Erfindung ist mit den oben erläuterten Ausführungsbeispielen ausreichend dargetan. Sie Hesse sich jedoch noch in anderen Varianten darstellen. So kann die Schutzhülle mit ihren Dimensionen der in verschiedenen Grossen hergestellten Decken angepasst werden. Diese Decken können auch anders als elektrisch beheizt sein, beispielsweise mittels Warmluft, Warmwasser oder einer anderen Wärmequelle.The invention is sufficiently demonstrated with the exemplary embodiments explained above. However, there are other variations of Hesse. The dimensions of the protective cover can be adapted to the blankets made in different sizes. These blankets can also be heated differently than electrically, for example by means of warm air, hot water or another heat source.

Die erfindungsgemässe Schutzhülle kann selbstverständlich für die verschiedenen gebräuchlichen Typen von Decken, wie eine Oberkörperdecke, eine Unterkörperdecke, eine Ganzkörperdecke oder eine Babydecke jeweils mit einer entsprechenden Heizung eingesetzt werden. The protective cover according to the invention can of course be used for the various common types of blankets, such as an upper body blanket, a lower body blanket, a full body blanket or a baby blanket, each with a corresponding heater.
