Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to an optimized lumbar support for external counterpulsation therapy. Background Technology
[0002] External counterpulsation (EECP) is a non-invasive treatment for cardiovascular diseases that increases blood flow to the heart through an external pneumatic device. In traditional EECP therapy, the lumbar support pad is mainly used to fix the pneumatic device and provide lumbar support, but it suffers from problems such as insufficient support, poor breathability, and unstable fixation, which affect the treatment effect and patient comfort.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an optimized lumbar support for external counterpulsation therapy to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, the purpose of this application is to provide an optimized lumbar support for external counterpulsation therapy, thereby improving patient comfort and stability.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is: an optimized lumbar support for external counterpulsation therapy, including a support frame, a protective plate glued to the upper end of the support frame, the protective plate being divided into an upper protective plate and a lower protective plate, folding rods fixedly installed on both sides of the protective plate, and a lumbar support glued to the middle section of the upper protective plate and the lower protective plate.
[0006] Furthermore, the folding rod is divided into an upper rod and a lower rod. The upper rod is fixedly connected to the upper guard plate, and the lower rod is fixedly connected to the lower guard plate. A folding wheel is connected to the bearing at the connection between the upper rod and the lower rod.
[0007] Furthermore, a waist belt is fixedly installed on both sides of the waist pad, and a belt buckle is fixedly installed on the side end of the waist belt.
[0008] Furthermore, buckles are fixedly installed on both sides of the connection point of the belt.
[0009] Furthermore, an anti-slip mesh is fixedly installed at the lower end of the lumbar pad, and the lumbar pad has an arc-shaped design.
[0010] Furthermore, the lumbar support is removable.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: after the buckle is fastened, medical staff can adjust the tightness of the belt by pulling the belt inside the buckle until it is adjusted to a tightness that is comfortable for the patient and will not fall off, thus ensuring that the lumbar pad will not shift during treatment. The lumbar pad adopts an arc design that conforms to the natural physiological curvature of the lumbar spine, providing even support for the patient, reducing lumbar pressure, and thus providing the patient with comfort and stability.

[0016] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0017] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.
[0018] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, the orientations used, such as "up" and "down," generally refer to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "left" and "right" generally refer to the left and right shown in the accompanying drawings; "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not used to limit this invention.
[0019] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this application provides an optimized lumbar support for external counterpulsation therapy, including a support frame 1, a support plate glued to the upper end of the support frame 1, the support plate being divided into an upper support plate 2 and a lower support plate 10, folding rods 6 being fixedly installed on both sides of the support plate, and a lumbar support 3 being glued to the middle section of the upper support plate 2 and the lower support plate 10.
[0020] The folding rod 6 is divided into an upper rod 8 and a lower rod 9. The upper rod 8 is fixedly connected to the upper guard plate 2, and the lower rod 9 is fixedly connected to the lower guard plate 10. A folding wheel 7 is connected to the bearing at the connection between the upper rod 8 and the lower rod 9.
[0021] Waist belts 4 are fixedly installed on both sides of the waist pad 3, and belt buckles 11 are fixedly installed on the side ends of the waist belts 4.
[0022] Buckles 5 are fixedly installed on both sides of the connection of the belt 4.
[0023] The lumbar support 3 is removable, and the cover of the lumbar support 3 is removable and washable to maintain hygiene and facilitate long-term use.
[0024] Specifically, when a patient needs counterpulsation therapy, medical staff first arrange for the patient to lie on the support frame 1. Before lying down, the medical staff first unfastens the buckle 5 of the lumbar belt 4, and then places the patient's waist against the lumbar pad 3. When the patient is fully lying down, the medical staff fastens the buckle 5 at the front end of the lumbar pad 3. After the buckle 5 is fastened, the medical staff adjusts the tightness of the lumbar belt 4 by pulling the belt within the buckle 11, until it is adjusted to a tightness that is comfortable for the patient and will not fall off, thus ensuring that the lumbar pad 3 will not shift during the treatment. The lumbar pad 3 adopts an arc design that conforms to the natural physiological curvature of the lumbar spine, providing even support for the patient, reducing lumbar pressure, and thus providing the patient with comfort and stability.
[0025] When the patient finishes treatment and needs to support their body, the staff can swing the upper rod 8 of the folding rod 6. When the upper rod 8 swings upward, the prescription folding wheel 7 connected to the lower rod 9 will rotate and lock, thereby moving the upper rod 8 and driving the upper guard plate 2 to move, allowing the patient's upper body to be lifted.
[0026] The bottom of the lumbar support 3 is fixedly equipped with an anti-slip mesh pad 12, which can increase the friction with the treatment bed or chair and prevent slipping.
