Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices and equipment, and in particular to a hand restraint device that allows patients to move their palms within a small range. Background Technology

[0002] In hospitals and mental health facilities, hand restraint devices are commonly used to prevent patients from harming themselves or others. For example, doctors may use these devices during an acute psychotic episode to ensure patient safety. Hand restraints help reduce unnecessary harm while also allowing medical personnel to make necessary interventions; therefore, there is a particular need for a hand restraint device that allows for a limited range of movement in the patient's palm.

[0003] However, most existing hand restraint devices that allow for limited hand movement restrict the entire hand during application. Prolonged immobilization can lead to stiffness, pain, or other discomfort in the hand muscles and joints. Inappropriate tightness or duration of restraint can also cause circulatory problems, resulting in numbness or swelling of the limb. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hand restraint device that allows for limited hand movement, addressing the shortcomings of existing hand restraint devices described in the background section. Most hand restraint devices immobilize the entire hand, and prolonged immobilization can lead to stiffness, pain, or other discomfort in the hand muscles and joints. Inappropriate tightness or duration of restraint can also cause circulatory problems, resulting in numbness or swelling of the limb.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a hand restraint device that allows a small range of movement of the patient's palm, comprising a mounting ring, a protective sleeve mounted on one side of the mounting ring, an observation plate mounted on the upper inner side of the protective sleeve, a zipper mounted on the inner side of the observation plate, and a protective layer mounted on the inner side of the protective sleeve.

[0006] Preferably, the observation plate is made of acrylic plastic, and the surface of the observation plate has multiple sets of circular holes.

[0007] Preferably, the observation panel is provided in two sets, and the observation panels are connected by a zipper.

[0008] Preferably, the lower end of the mounting ring is provided with a square ring, the inside of the square ring is provided with a connecting strap, the two ends of the connecting strap are provided with binding straps, the surface of the binding strap is provided with fixing holes, and magnetic buckles are installed inside the fixing holes.

[0009] Preferably, two sets of square rings are provided, and they are symmetrically arranged around the central axis of the mounting ring, and the connecting strip is tightly fitted with the square rings.

[0010] Preferably, the restraint straps are provided in two sets, and the restraint straps are connected by fixing holes and magnetic buckles.

[0011] Preferably, an inflation limiting strip is installed on the inner side of the mounting ring, and an air valve is installed on one side of the inflation limiting strip.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This hand restraint device, which allows for limited hand movement, uses a protective sleeve, observation board, zipper, and protective layer to wrap the hand. While not fixing each finger, it restrains the hand. The relatively large space inside the protective sleeve allows for slight adjustments to the patient's hand, reducing tension and discomfort, making the restraint more comfortable and alleviating anxiety. The observation board allows direct observation of the patient's hand condition. The observation panel can monitor the patient's hand, including skin color, swelling, wounds, or other pathological changes. Medical personnel can quickly make adjustments or treatment decisions based on the observation results. The observation panel and zipper can be opened by pulling the zipper, allowing for interaction between the two observation panels. This enables medical personnel to examine, treat, or provide necessary care to the patient's hand without completely removing the restraints. The protective layer is set in the protective sleeve, providing a soft effect and protecting the patient's hand. The soft protective layer can effectively reduce friction with the skin, improve wearing comfort, and reduce discomfort caused by prolonged use. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a hand restraint device that allows for a small range of hand movement in a patient, including a mounting ring 1, a protective sleeve 9 mounted on one side of the mounting ring 1, an observation plate 10 mounted on the upper inner side of the protective sleeve 9, a zipper 11 mounted on the inner side of the observation plate 10, and a protective layer 12 mounted on the inner side of the protective sleeve 9. Through the arrangement of the protective sleeve 9, the observation plate 10, and the protective layer 12, the protective cover wraps around the hand, restraining the hand without fixing each finger. The relatively large space inside the protective sleeve 9 allows for small adjustments to the patient's hand, providing... More space reduces the tightness in the hands, lowers patient discomfort, and makes them feel more comfortable in a restrained state, which helps reduce anxiety. The observation board 10 can observe the condition of the patient's palm, including skin color, swelling, wounds or other pathological changes. Medical personnel can make quick adjustment or treatment decisions based on the observation results. The protective layer 12 is set on the protective sleeve 9, providing a soft effect and protecting the patient's palm. The soft protective layer 12 can effectively reduce friction with the skin, improve wearing comfort, and reduce discomfort caused by prolonged use.

[0022] Furthermore, the observation board 10 is made of acrylic plastic, and the surface of the observation board 10 has multiple sets of round holes. Through the setting of the observation board 10, the condition of the palm can be directly observed, including skin color, swelling, wounds or other pathological changes. Medical personnel can make quick adjustment or treatment decisions based on the observation results. The design of the round holes enhances the breathability of the observation board 10, which helps to keep the palm dry and comfortable and avoids discomfort caused by stuffiness.

[0023] Furthermore, the observation board 10 is provided in two sets, which are connected by a zipper 11. With the arrangement of the observation board 10 and the zipper 11, pulling the zipper 11 will open the two observation boards 10, allowing interaction with the patient's palm. This enables medical personnel to examine, treat, or provide necessary care to the patient's palm without completely removing the restraints.

[0024] Furthermore, a square ring 2 is provided at the lower end of the mounting ring 1. A connecting strap 3 is provided inside the square ring 2, and restraint straps 4 are installed at both ends of the connecting strap 3. Fixing holes 5 are provided on the surface of the restraint straps 4, and magnetic buckles 6 are installed inside the fixing holes 5. Through the arrangement of the connecting strap 3, restraint straps 4, and fixing holes 5, the design of the connecting strap 3 allows for adjustment of the length of the restraint straps 4, enabling flexible adjustment according to the needs of different patients, improving personalization and comfort. The fixing holes 5 on the surface of the restraint straps 4 provide multiple fixing points to ensure secure fixation as needed, reducing the risk of accidental loosening and ensuring patient safety.

[0025] Furthermore, two sets of square rings 2 are provided, symmetrically arranged around the central axis of the mounting ring 1. The connecting band 3 is tightly fitted with the square rings 2. Through the arrangement of the mounting ring 1 and the square rings 2, the symmetrically arranged square rings 2 can evenly distribute the force applied to the connecting band 3, reduce local stress concentration, and enhance the stability and durability of the overall structure.

[0026] Furthermore, the restraint strap 4 is provided in two sets. The restraint strap 4 is connected by the fixing hole 5 and the magnetic buckle 6. The magnetic buckle 6 installed inside the fixing hole 5, through the setting of the restraint strap 4, fixing hole 5 and magnetic buckle 6, makes it easy for users to quickly and easily fix and unfix the restraint strap, saving time and improving the convenience of use.

[0027] Furthermore, an inflation limit strip 7 is installed on the inner side of the mounting ring 1, and an air valve 8 is installed on one side of the inflation limit strip 7. By setting the inflation limit strip 7 and the air valve 8, the air valve 8 adjusts the inflation limit strip 7, controls the thickness and flexibility of the limit strip, prevents the patient's hand from slipping out, and avoids pressure injury.

[0028] Working principle: When in use, first place the patient's hand inside the protective cover, then adjust the inflation limit strip 7 through the air valve 8. After adjustment, pull the restraint strap 4 to the appropriate position, and then fix the two sets of restraint straps 4 through the magnetic buckle 6. The connecting strap 3 restrains the mounting ring 1 through the square ring 2, thereby restraining the patient's hand. After the treatment is completed, observe the patient's hand through the observation board 10. When interaction is required, unzip 11 and open the observation board 10 to interact. This completes the use of a hand restraint device that allows the patient's palm to move within a small range.

[0029] In this embodiment, the protective sleeve 9 of the hand restraint device is spherical in shape with a large internal space, allowing tools such as compression balls to be placed inside for patient hand exercises. The protective sleeve 9 can be entirely transparent or partially transparent, depending on actual production needs.

[0030] When the zipper 11 is opened, the entire protective cover 9 can be divided into two hemispherical shells for patient hand cleaning and care, and can also be used to replace hand exercise tools.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
