Embodiment Construction

[0021] figure 1 The patient fastening belt 1 is schematically shown. The test surfaces of the electrical sensors 3 , 4 , 5 can be seen in the selected perspective view, ie the side of the patient fastening belt 1 facing the patient is shown. The layout of the sensors 3 , 4 , 5 is only schematically shown in this view. Depending on the type of sensor, different positions and spatial distributions can be used.

[0022] The main structural component of the fixing strap 1 is a strap body 2 made of flexible plastic. For this purpose, neoprene (Neoprene) rubber (Neoprene) is considered, which on the one hand can be designed with a sufficient thickness for the installation of electrical components, and on the other hand has pleasant tactile properties, such as a certain bending and flexibility. . A typical thickness is about 1 cm to 2 cm, and a typical width is about 400 mm. Such a thickness provides sufficient location for electrical components and also provides sufficient tens...

Abstract

The invention relates to a patient-securing strap and to a patient- supporting device with a patient-securing strap. In one illustrative embodiment, the patient-securing strap (1) is made mainly of plastic and has an electrical conductor (6) made of substantially radioparent plastic, an electrical sensor (3, 4, 5) which is connected to the conductor (6) and which is made of a substantially radioparent material, and a transmitter which is connected to the conductor (6) and which is designed such that sensor signals output from the sensor (3, 4, 5) to the conductor (6) are sent to a data transmission line. In another illustrative embodiment, a patient-supporting device (10) comprises one such patient-securing strap (1).; The fact that the patient-securing strap is for the most part made of radioparent material means that it does not cause interfering image artefacts during an X-ray examination. It can therefore readily be used for an X-ray examination or CT scan of the patient and at the same time, by means of the electrical sensor, allows measurement values to be recorded. In other words, it is thus made possible to perform an X-ray examination while at the same time recording measurement values.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a patient fixing belt and a patient support device with the patient fixing belt. Background technique [0002] Patient support devices are used in medical diagnosis and treatment to transport patients and to carry out specific diagnostic or therapeutic measures. For example, CT examinations, MR examinations or X-ray examinations or radiation or ultrasound treatments are performed on the patient using the patient support device. Depending on the patient's condition and the type of measures being taken, it may be necessary to fix the patient's body or body parts on a patient support, also called a couch. For example, immobilization may be required during high-resolution MR examinations or during surgical operations, such as biopsies in connection with such examinations. [0003] Special situations arise at any time for patients who are in immediate danger in the emergency department or in the monitoring ward. For accident pati...
