A support pad for upper limb after skin flap operation

Abstract

The invention relates to a medical device, in particular to an upper limb support pad after skin flap surgery. The upper limb support pad after skin flap operation of the present invention includes a capsule body, a concave plate matching the shape of the upper limb, an inflation tube, a deflation valve, and an inflatable ball, and is characterized in that the concave plate matching the shape of the upper limb is arranged on the capsule body One end of the upper surface is hinged to the capsule body, and the other end is a free end capable of changing a fixed position with the capsule body. The invention has a novel structure and is easy to use. Not only the height of the support pad can be adjusted, but also the patient can adjust the bending angle of the upper limbs by himself, so that the upper limbs can be kept at a suitable inclination angle, so as to avoid pulling the skin flap and prevent erosion of the pedicle of the flap and infection of the incision , to promote the healing of the incision as soon as possible and the survival of the flap.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a medical device, in particular to an upper limb support pad after skin flap surgery. Background technique [0002] After the flap operation, in order to ensure the survival of the flap, the pedicle of the flap must be stretched to prevent twisting and folding. After the operation, the affected limb must be kept fixed in the abdomen for 3-4 weeks before the pedicle can be broken for the second-stage operation. . Improper fixation of the affected limb often leads to stiffness, muscle atrophy, and even folded and avulsed skin flaps, resulting in failure of the operation. Traditionally, cotton pillows are usually used as pads under the affected limbs. Because the cotton pillows are soft and cannot be adjusted in height, they cannot maintain an effective fixed state for a long time. The pedicles of the flaps often fold or even tear off, and the comfort is low. [0003] The authorized announcement number is CN201123858Y, and the a...

Improper fixation of the affected limb often leads to stiffness, muscle atrophy, and even folded and avulsed skin flaps, resulting in failure of the operation

Traditionally, cotton pillows are usually used under the affected limb. Because the cotton pillow is soft and its height cannot be adjusted, it cannot maintain an effective fixed state for a long time. The pedicle of the flap often folds or even tears off, and the comfort is low.

[0003] The authorized announcement number is CN201123858Y, and the announcement date is October 1, 2008. The Chinese utility model patent discloses a support for the affected limb of a patient after iliac and abdominal flap surgery. device, although the support device realizes the function of adjustable height, it fails to solve the problem of increasing patient comfort
