Children pigeon breast correction device

Abstract

The invention provides a children pigeon breast correction device, belongs to the technical field of medical instruments for thoracic surgery, and solves a technical problem that the pigeon breast cannot be effectively corrected due to nonstandard correction exercise actions of existing children pigeon breast patients. The child pigeon breast correction device comprises a supporting mechanism, a pushing mechanism and a pressing mechanism, wherein the supporting mechanism comprises a backup plate, the pushing mechanism comprises two hollow columns, pressure springs are arranged at front ends of the two hollow columns, through sliding grooves are formed in the side faces of the two hollow columns, a pushing column is arranged between the two sliding grooves in a sliding frame mode, two ends of the pushing column extend out of the two sliding grooves and are connected with handles correspondingly, a groove is further formed in the pushing column, a rotating shaft is arranged in the groove, and a pressing mechanism is hinged to the rotating shaft. The device is advantaged in that the exercise standard of the child patient is standardized, and the exercise correction effect of the child pigeon breast patient is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical instruments for thoracic surgery, and relates to a children's chicken breast correction device. Background technique [0002] Chicken breast is also called pigeon breast. The deformity of the sternum protruding forward, which looks like the breast of a chicken or a pigeon, is called chicken breast. It is the second most common thoracic deformity in the anterior chest wall. It is less common than pectus pectus excavatum. It accounts for 6% to 22% of all chest wall deformities, and the symptoms appear later, and more than 50% are found after the age of 11. The etiology is not yet clear, it may be related to heredity, and about 20% to 25% of those with family history. It is generally considered to be caused by excessive growth of ribs and costal cartilage, and deformity of the sternum is secondary to rib deformity, and can also be secondary to intrathoracic disease. [0003] Among them, chicken br...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Most of the existing corrective devices exert pressure on the protruding sternum through the appliance, so that the patient’s protruding sternum gradually recovers under the action of external force, and thus can be corrected. However, there is a possibility of recurrence after use, so long-term uninterrupted use is required, but this Long-term use of this kind of orthodontic device is likely to affect children's physical development, and life is more inconvenient, and children exercise and correct themselves, often unable to reach the prescribed movement standards, which greatly affects the correction effect and delays the best treatment time.
