The restraint glove 100 includes a glove body 10 and a hand strap 20. The hand strap 20 is disposed inside the glove body 10 and is used to bind the patient's hand, fixing the patient's hand inside the glove body 10 to prevent the patient from scratching the wound or accidentally removing therapeutic tubes while unconscious. It should be noted that the first direction is the y-direction, the second direction is the x-direction, and the third direction is not shown. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.In some embodiments, the restraint glove 100 includes a fixing strap 30, a portion of which is fixed to the outer surface of the glove body 10. Both ends of the fixing strap 30 can be tied to a certain set position. The fixing strap 30 is used to fix the restraint glove 100 to the guardrail or bed frame of the hospital bed, the armrest of the chair, or a fixed point on the nursing bed to control the range of motion of the patient's hand and prevent the patient's hand from scratching the wound or accidentally removing critical therapeutic tubes such as infusion needles, nasogastric tubes, ventilator tubing, urinary catheters, wound drainage tubes, and oxygen tubes, which may affect postoperative recovery. Optionally, the length of the fixing strap 30 is 82cm, and after the fixing strap 30 fixes the glove body 10, there is a certain amount of slack to allow the patient to move. Regarding the glove body 10 described above, please refer to Figures 1 to 4. The glove body 10 includes an upper cover 11, a bottom box 12, a chain head 13, and a shrinking member 14. The chain head 13 is used to control the opening and closing of the upper cover 11 and the bottom box 12. The shrinking member 14 is disposed on the outer surface of the bottom box 12. The upper cover 11 and the bottom box 12 enclose a constraint space 15, which is used to place the patient's hand. Specifically, the upper cover 11 is provided with a first chain 111, which covers the outer contour of the upper cover 11. The bottom box 12 is provided with a second chain 121, which covers the outer contour of the bottom box 12. The chain head 13 is connected to the first chain 111 and the second chain 121 respectively. By pulling the chain head 13, the first chain 111 and the second chain 121 are engaged or opened, so that the upper cover 11 can be flipped and removed from the bottom box 12. The bottom box 12 is also provided with an opening 122 communicating with the restraint space 15. The patient's wrist is placed in the opening 122. The contraction component 14 includes a contraction band 141, a fastening part 142, and a fixing part 143. The fastening part 142 and the fixing part 143 are located at both ends of the contraction band 141 respectively. The contraction band 141 can be contracted to adjust the length of the contraction band 141 along the second direction. The fastening part HK 30134890 A 6 142 The upper cover 11 is fastened to the fixing part 143 through the outer surface of the upper cover 11. By adjusting the length of the shrink band 141, the upper cover 11 and the bottom box 12 are made to fit together, and the opening 122 is narrowed to fit the patient's wrist, preventing the patient's hand from slipping out of the opening 122. In some embodiments, referring to FIG4, an adhesive strip 112 is provided on the inner surface of the upper cover 11. The adhesive strip 112 extends along a first direction. The hand strap 20 is bonded to the adhesive strip 112 to enhance the fixing strength between the hand strap 20 and the upper cover 11.

The shielding member 113 is disposed at one end of the first chain 111 and extends from the upper cover 11 to the bottom box 12. The shielding member 113 is connected to the bottom box 12. Pulling the chain head 13 makes the first chain 111 and the second chain 121 fully engaged at one end. That is, at this time, the chain head 13, one end of the first chain 111 and one end of the second chain 121 are hidden in the shielding member 113, making it difficult for the patient to pull the chain head 13 to open the first chain 111 and the second chain 121. Optionally, the shielding member 113 is provided with a first Velcro 1131, and the shielding member 113 is connected to the bottom box 12 through the first Velcro 1131. In some embodiments, the retractable band 141 consists of two ribbons (not shown) with second Velcro fasteners (not shown). The length of the retractable band 141 is adjusted by adjusting the position of the second Velcro fasteners on the two ribbons. Alternatively, the retractable member 14 further includes a D-ring (not shown), through which the retractable band 141 passes. The length of the retractable band 141 is adjusted by adjusting the position of the D-ring on the retractable band 141. In some embodiments, the base box 12 is also provided with a protective plate (not shown). The protective plate is disposed on the inner surface of the base box 12 and is disposed on the side away from the opening 122, that is, the protective plate is disposed on the inner surface of the base box 12 at a position corresponding to the patient's fingers. Optionally, the protective plate can be a hard plastic plate, so the patient's hand can move within the restraint space 15, and the patient's fingers can bend within the restraint space 15. The protective plate can restrict the patient's hand from bending the glove body 10, thereby restricting the patient's hand from removing the therapeutic tube. In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 4, the glove body 10 is made of fabric and has multiple breathable mesh holes 16. The restraint space 15 communicates with the outside world through these mesh holes 16. The multiple breathable mesh holes 16 significantly improve the breathability of the glove body 10. The mesh holes 16 can be hexagonal or circular, and optionally, the diameter of the mesh holes ranges from 2.5 mm to 3 mm. In some embodiments, the height of the restraint space 15 along a third direction ranges from 6 cm to 13 cm, providing ample space for the patient's hand to move, allowing the patient's fingers to fully extend or clench into a fist, preventing finger contractures.Please refer to Figures 3 and 5 for the aforementioned hand strap 20. The hand strap 20 includes a first restraint strap 21, a second restraint strap 22, and a connecting strap 23. Along the first direction, one end of the connecting strap 23 is connected to the first restraint strap 21, and the other end of the connecting strap 23 is connected to the second restraint strap 22. The first restraint strap 21 is wrapped around the palm to restrain the patient's palm, and the second restraint strap 22 is wrapped around the wrist to restrain the patient's wrist. The hand strap 20 is provided with an adhesive part (not shown in the figure). The adhesive part is located on the first restraint strap 21 and is bonded to the adhesive patch 112 of the upper cover 11 to restrain the patient's hand in the restraint space 15. Specifically, the first restraint band 21 includes a first fixed end 211 and a second fixed end 212. One end of the first fixed end 211 is connected to one end of the second fixed end 212. The length of the first fixed end 211 is greater than the length of the second fixed end 212. The other end of the first fixed end 211 wraps around the patient's web space and connects to the back of the hand and the other end of the second fixed end 212. The connecting band 23 has a first connecting portion 231 on one side along the second direction and a second connecting portion 232 on the other side along the second direction. The first connecting portion 231 is connected to the first fixed end 211, and the angle between the first fixed end 211 and the first connecting portion 231 is rounded to accommodate the curvature of the patient's web space. The radius of the rounded angle between the first fixed end 211 and the first connecting portion 231 is r1. The second connecting portion 232 is connected to the second fixed end 212, and the angle between the second fixed end 212 and the second connecting portion 232 is rounded. To accommodate the curvature of the patient's hand, the radius of the rounded corner between the second fixed end 212 and the second connecting part 232 is r2. In some embodiments, the radius r1 of the angle between the first fixed end 211 and the first connecting part 231 is larger than the radius r2 of the angle between the second fixed end 212 and the second connecting part 232, and the angle between the first fixed end 211 and the first connecting part 231 is smaller than the angle between the second fixed end 212 and the second connecting part 232. This structure is specifically designed to fit the patient's hand structure based on the distal palmar crease, proximal palmar crease, and the thenar crease of the thumb, so that the patient can make a fist without obstruction.In some embodiments, for the sake of patient comfort when clenching their fist, the dimension w1 of the first fixing end 211 along the width direction ranges from 2.2cm to 3cm, preferably w1 is 2.6cm; the dimension w2 of the second fixing end 212 along the width direction ranges from 2.4cm to 3.2cm, preferably w2 is 2.8cm; and the dimension w3 of the connecting strap 23 along the second direction ranges from 5.5cm to 6.5cm. The dimension of the connecting strap 23 along the second direction cannot be thicker than the width of the arm, otherwise it will affect the patient's comfort. The preferred dimension of w3 is 5.7cm or 6.3cm, which can accommodate the hand size of most patients. To facilitate the reader's understanding of this application, the working process of the restraint glove 100 of this application is described below: The first restraint strap 21 and the second restraint strap 22 of the hand strap 20 are in an open state. The patient's palm faces the hand strap 20. The second fixing end 212 of the first restraint strap 21 wraps around the back of the patient's hand from the little finger side. The first fixing end 211 of the first restraint strap 21 passes through the web of the patient's hand and wraps around the back of the hand to connect and fix with the second fixing end 212. The adhesive part of the first restraint strap 21 faces away from the palm, so that the first restraint strap 21 is wrapped around the patient's palm, and the second restraint strap 22 is wrapped around the patient's wrist, thus completing the binding of the hand strap 20 to the patient's hand. Pulling the chain head 13 opens the first chain 111 of the upper cover 11 and the second chain 121 of the bottom box 12, opening the upper cover 11. The patient's palm faces the bottom box 12 and is placed in the restraint space 15 of the glove body 10, with the patient's wrist placed in the bottom box 12.
