Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical auxiliary devices, specifically a support sandbag for lateral decubitus surgery. Background Technology
[0002] In lateral decubitus surgery, the support sandbag serves as a crucial positional fixation device, and its performance directly affects patient comfort and the safety of the surgical procedure.
[0003] Current support sandbags generally use a single, fixed-size cylindrical structure. This standardized design cannot adapt to the body curves of patients with different body types. When applied to patients with significant differences in body size, misalignment of support points may lead to postural instability, or excessive compression of the trunk may restrict respiratory and circulatory functions. For example, for thin patients, a fixed-size sandbag may not effectively maintain a lateral decubitus position due to insufficient support surface; while for obese patients, the sandbag may exert pressure on localized areas of the body, increasing the risk of pressure ulcers and encroaching on surgical space, affecting the ease of operation for medical staff. Insufficient support or excessive compression of the patient's body may occur, affecting patient comfort and surgical space, and potentially increasing the risk of pressure ulcers. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a support sandbag for lateral decubitus surgery, which solves the problem that fixed-size sandbags in the prior art cannot adapt to different body types, affecting the stability of the position and the patient's comfort.
[0005] A support sandbag for lateral decubitus surgery, comprising:
[0006] The sandbag body has a sand-filling cavity on its inner side and a flexible filling cavity on its outer side, the flexible filling cavity being used to fill a flexible support.
[0007] Both the sand-filling cavity and the flexible filling cavity are provided with sealing structures on their outer sides for filling and replacing internal materials.
[0008] The sandbag body is equipped with a quick-coupler for adjusting the length or shape of the sandbag body.
[0009] Preferably, the sandbag body includes an outer bag and an inner bag, the two ends of the inner bag are sewn to the inner wall of the outer bag, the sand filling cavity is formed by the inner bag, and the flexible filling cavity is located between the outer bag and the inner bag.
[0010] Preferably, the sealing structure includes a first sealing element disposed on the side wall of the sand filling cavity and a second sealing element disposed on the side wall of the flexible filling cavity, wherein the first sealing element and the second sealing element are zipper structures.
[0011] Preferably, the sandbag body adopts a multi-sandbag splicing design, including at least one long sandbag and at least one short sandbag.
[0012] Preferably, the quick coupling component includes a first connector disposed at both ends of the long sandbag and a second connector disposed on the side of the short sandbag away from the sealing structure and used in conjunction with the first connector. The first and second connectors are Velcro structures.
[0013] Preferably, the sandbag body adopts a single sandbag folding design, and the quick coupling component includes a number of coupling tapes arranged on the sandbag body. The coupling tapes include a third connector and a fourth connector arranged at intervals. The third connector and the fourth connector are Velcro structures used to fix the sandbag body after folding.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. This utility model adopts two designs: multi-sandbag splicing and single-sandbag folding. The shape, length and thickness of the sandbag can be flexibly adjusted according to the patient's body shape and surgical position, thereby improving adaptability and meeting diverse surgical needs.
[0016] 2. This utility model, through its double-layer structure of sand-filled cavity and flexible filling cavity, balances support stability and softness and comfort, reducing the risk of pressure sores for patients and ensuring their safety and comfort during the surgical process.
[0017] 3. The sealing structure of this utility model facilitates the filling and replacement of internal materials, extending the service life of the sandbag; the quick coupling component is easy to operate, allowing medical staff to quickly adjust the sandbag during surgery, thus improving the efficiency of surgical preparation.

[0024] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0025] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown: This utility model provides a support sandbag for lateral decubitus surgery, comprising a sandbag body 1, a sand-filling cavity 2, and a flexible filling cavity 3.
[0026] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 2 As shown: The sandbag body 1 includes an outer bag 101 and an inner bag 102, with both ends of the inner bag 102 sewn to the inner wall of the outer bag 101. A sand-filling cavity 2 is located inside the sandbag body 1, and a flexible filling cavity 3 is located outside the sand-filling cavity 2, used to fill flexible support materials such as sponge, memory foam, or space foam. Both the sand-filling cavity 2 and the flexible filling cavity 3 have sealing structures on their outer sides, namely a first sealing element 4 and a second sealing element 5. The first sealing element 4 and the second sealing element 5 adopt a zipper structure for easy filling and replacement of internal materials.
[0027] As attached Figure 4 As shown in Example 1: The sandbag body 1 adopts a multi-sandbag splicing design with multiple short sandbags and one long sandbag. The length of the short sandbags is 5-25cm, and the length of the long sandbags is 40-60cm. The long sandbags have first connectors 8 at both ends, and the short sandbags have second connectors 9 on the side away from the sealing structure. The first connectors 8 and second connectors 9 use a Velcro structure. The splicing and combination of multiple sandbags is achieved through Velcro adhesion, and the length and shape of the sandbags can be adjusted according to the patient's body shape and surgical needs.
[0028] As attached Figure 3 As shown: Example 2: This example is basically the same as the previous example, except that the sandbag body 1 adopts a single folding sandbag design, and the length of the sandbag is 50-100cm. It is equipped with several coupling tapes as quick coupling components, each consisting of several spaced-apart third connectors 6 and fourth connectors 7. By folding the sandbag body 1 and using the coupling tapes for adhesion and fixation, the thickness and shape of the sandbag can be flexibly changed to adapt to the support needs of different surgical positions.
[0029] Working Principle: During lateral decubitus surgery, support sandbags are placed on the patient's side, back, or other areas requiring support. In Example 1, the multi-sandbag splicing design allows for adjustment of the splicing combination to suit different patients' body curves and the required support range during surgery. The sand in the sand-filling cavity 2 automatically adjusts its distribution according to the patient's body pressure, providing stable support. The material of the flexible filling cavity 3 increases comfort in contact with the patient's body. In Example 2, the single sandbag folding design uses folding and coupling tape for fixation, flexibly changing the shape and thickness of the sandbag to adapt to different surgical positions. The filling materials work synergistically to ensure support stability while reducing pressure on the patient's skin. Both designs feature a sealing structure for easy replacement of the internal filling material, maintaining the sandbag's performance.
[0030] The embodiments of this utility model are given for the purpose of illustration and description. Although the embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the utility model. Any changes, modifications, substitutions and variations made by those skilled in the art to the above embodiments within the scope of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
