AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional cervical pillows cannot meet the cervical support needs at different stages of the perioperative period, and have problems such as local compression risk, poor breathability and limited function. Moreover, they have not been optimized for the physiological characteristics of patients after cervical spine surgery.

Method used

A perioperative cervical pillow for orthopedic cervical spine surgery was designed. It adopts an adjustable headrest and neck pillow structure, combined with memory foam material, and achieves dynamic linkage through a rotatable connection structure. It has a modular design, is easy to clean and disinfect, and forms a ventilation gap between the headrest and neck pillow.

Benefits of technology

Precisely matching the support needs at different stages of cervical spine surgery reduces the risk of internal fixation loosening and soft tissue injury, improves sleep quality and rehabilitation efficiency, reduces the risk of infection, and enhances patient comfort and rehabilitation compliance.

Abstract

This utility model discloses a perioperative cervical pillow for orthopedic cervical spine surgery, comprising: a headrest, a neck pillow, and a height adjustment structure. The top of the headrest forms an inclined surface. The neck pillow is located on one side of the headrest and has a cylindrical structure, with its height exceeding the top height of the headrest. The neck pillow is rotatably connected to the headrest via a connecting structure. The height adjustment structure is located below the headrest and is used to adjust the height of the headrest. This utility model prevents excessive head tilting and cervical hyperextension when the patient is supine, and fills the shoulder gap through the height difference when the patient is lateral, maintaining a neutral cervical spine position. This effectively reduces the risk of postoperative complications such as internal fixation loosening and soft tissue injury, and significantly improves the patient's sleep quality and recovery efficiency.
