Fixation apparatus applicable to fracture or radiotherapy

Abstract

The invention discloses a fixation apparatus applicable to fracture or radiotherapy, and provides an external fixation apparatus for department of orthopedics. According to the fixation apparatus, a fixing plate and a heating device are skilfully combined; and when the fixation apparatus is used, heating liquid is added, a transient temperature in a heating box can reach 100 DEG C or above, so that the fixation plate can be completely softened within 2-4min, and the softened fixation plate can be shaped and fixed on a part which is to be fixed for the fracture or the radiotherapy. Doctors, making use of the external fixation apparatus for the department of orthopedics, are not limited by field conditions, especially for outpatient or emergency. The external fixation apparatus for the department of orthopedics can overcome shortcomings of an existing external fixation material which is inconvenient to use. The external fixation apparatus is applicable to orthopedic emergency of field troops in the field as well as emergency of fracture in natural disasters such as earthquake and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to fracture external fixation and radiotherapy body position fixation in the medical field, is a fixation system that can be used for fracture or radiotherapy, and belongs to the field of medicine. Background technique [0002] External fixation refers to a method of fixation used outside the body after injury. Currently commonly used external fixation methods are: splint fixation, plaster fixation, traction fixation and external fixator fixation and so on. In terms of external fixation materials, plaster fixation and polymer splints are currently the most clinically used, and polyurethane bandages and polyurethane fiberglass splints are the most common polymer splints. With the in-depth study of shape memory materials, a new external fixation plate for low-temperature thermoplastic plates has appeared on the market. The above fixed plates have their own characteristics in use, but they also have great defects: when the plaster ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The above fixed plates have their own characteristics in use, but they also have great defects: when the plaster is fixed, it is heavy, which increases the burden on the injured limb, cannot be reshaped after the fixation, and the patient cannot bathe and dress, etc. decreased quality of life

If you use hot water for heating, but in the outpatient department, especially the emergency department, hot water is not always available, and a suitable container is required for heating, so the application of this situation is of little significance

However, heating with a specially made electric heating box is normally turned off, and it will be turned on when in use. In this case, it takes a process to heat up, so the waiting time will be longer. If it is turned on for a long time, patients in the department If you touch the electric heating box, you will be scalded, so it is not very meaningful to use it
