Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a postoperative sleep support, belonging to the field of medical assistive devices. Background Technology

[0002] For patients who have undergone trunk surgery, if the bedding is pressed on the wound while sleeping, firstly, the wound seepage will stick to the bedding, and secondly, the pressure of the bedding on the wound will make it difficult for some pain-sensitive patients to sleep. If they do not cover themselves with bedding, they are more likely to catch a cold.

[0003] Currently, most hospitals use a bed frame similar to a table or stool. This frame is quite bulky and tall, providing insufficient warmth under blankets, and all four legs are made of metal. Patients may bump into it if they move during sleep, and the metal surface can feel cold, especially if their hands, feet, or torso are in contact with the wound. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a portable postoperative sleep aid frame that is lightweight, inexpensive, and practical, helping many patients avoid touching their wounds while sleeping and without affecting their ability to stay warm under blankets.

[0004] Chinese utility model patent ZL 201420743444.X discloses a device for preventing pressure on a surgical wound during sleep after head surgery. The device includes a support base with a front support plate and a rear support plate. The front support plate has a first concave arc-shaped slide rail, and the rear support plate has a second concave arc-shaped slide rail. A rolling groove is formed between the front and rear support plates. A frame body that can be fixedly connected to the human head is fitted onto the first and second arc-shaped slide rails. The frame body includes a rectangular frame and several detachable support members. Each support member has a buckle at its connection to the frame body, and the buckle has an anti-slip pad. This utility model features a frame body that is individually fixed to the head, allowing it to rotate with the head and form an isolation space with the pillow. This effectively prevents the head from directly contacting the pillow, providing good protection and significantly reducing the wound infection rate caused by careless sleeping. It also reduces patient suffering and improves wound healing speed by avoiding head compression. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Figure 4 This is a diagram showing the usage status of a postoperative sleep support provided in the third embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0038] The technical content of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] The postoperative sleep support provided in this invention is used to assist patients in postoperative recovery and prevent wound compression. The postoperative sleep support has a simple, lightweight, and practical overall structure. During use, it adapts to the patient's movements, such as turning over or shifting, thus ensuring patient comfort. Specific embodiments are described below:

[0040] <First Embodiment>

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the postoperative sleep support provided in the first embodiment of the present invention includes a base 1, an elastic support portion 2, and a limiting portion 3. The base 1 is planar for placement in a sleeping position. The elastic support portion 2 is mounted on the base 1 to form a sleeping space of a predetermined size. The limiting portion 3 is installed on the elastic support portion 2 to limit the relative position of the elastic support portion 2 and the base 1.

[0042] In practical use, the base 1 can be placed on the surface of the bed, allowing the patient to lie flat in the sleeping space formed by the elastic support 2 and the base 1. A blanket can then be placed on the elastic support 2, with the elastic support 2 and the limiting part 3 providing support for the blanket and preventing direct contact between the blanket and the body. Furthermore, it is understood that this sleeping space is slightly larger than the patient's torso, allowing the blanket to be as close to the body as possible, thus ensuring sufficient warmth while avoiding direct contact.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, in the above embodiment, the base 1 includes two crossbars 11 and multiple restraint straps 12. Specifically, the crossbars 11 are cylindrical long bars with a certain degree of rigidity. They can be made of metal or hard plastic, etc. The two crossbars 11 are placed in the same plane and are parallel to each other. It can be understood that the crossbar 11 can be a single long bar or composed of multiple short bars, and the specific choice can be made according to the needs. The restraint straps 12 are made of soft fabric and have a preset width. In this embodiment, there are three restraint straps 12 (or two, four, or other numbers), and the three restraint straps 12 are along the length direction of the crossbars 11 (i.e., Figure 1The three restraint straps 12 are spaced apart between the two crossbars 11 in the X direction, and each restraint strap 12 is detachably connected to both ends of the two crossbars 11, so that the two crossbars 11 and the three restraint straps 12 form a rectangular plane. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the two crossbars 11 are arranged along the X direction, and the three restraint straps 12 are arranged along the Y direction. Therefore, when the elastic support part 2 is mounted on the base 1, the three restraint straps 12, in conjunction with the elastic support part 2, can limit and restrain the two crossbars 11, ensuring the stability of the sleeping space. Furthermore, since the restraint straps 12 are made of soft fabric, they can conform well to the human torso when used by the patient, avoiding any foreign body sensation that could affect sleep.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the base 1 further includes first self-adhesive fasteners 13, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the binding straps 12. The first self-adhesive fasteners 13 are self-adhesive and fixed after passing over the crossbars 11 to connect the binding straps 12 to the crossbars 11, or the first self-adhesive fasteners 13 are opened to separate the binding straps 12 from the crossbars 11. Thus, when the base 1 needs to be assembled, the two crossbars 11 are first placed parallel to each other, and then the first self-adhesive fasteners 13 at both ends of the three binding straps 12 are respectively passed over the two crossbars 11 and self-adhesive and fixed, thereby completing the assembly of the base 1. When the base 1 needs to be disassembled, the first self-adhesive fasteners 13 at both ends of the three binding straps 12 can be opened to separate the crossbars 11 from the binding straps 12 for easy storage. It is understood that the first self-adhesive buckle 13 in this embodiment can be integrally formed with the binding strap 12 to improve the connection strength; or the independent first self-adhesive buckle 13 can be connected to both ends of the binding strap 12, so that the binding strap 12 and the first self-adhesive buckle 13 can be manufactured separately and independently, reducing the manufacturing difficulty. The specific structural form can be adapted to the needs.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in the above embodiment, the elastic support 2 includes two elastic struts 21, which are arc-shaped, so as to conform to the patient's body 10 and adapt to deformation as the patient's body 10 rotates (e.g., Figure 2 As shown), this design ensures effective protection of the patient's body during sleep. Specifically, the two ends of one elastic support rod 21 are connected to the first ends of the two crossbars 11 (i.e., Figure 1 The A end of the first rod is detachably connected, and the two ends of the other elastic strut 21 are respectively connected to the second ends of the two crossbars 11 (i.e., Figure 1 The elastic support 2 (end B) is detachably connected, allowing it to be mounted entirely above the base 1 to form a sleeping space of a predetermined size. Furthermore, the limiting part 3 is connected between the two elastic support rods 21 to restrict the relative position of the two elastic support rods 21 to the base 1. Thus, the elastic support 2, in conjunction with the limiting part 3, provides stable support for the bedding, ensuring the stability of the sleeping space.

[0046] It is understood that in the above embodiments, the shape of the elastic strut 21 is only a preferred implementation. In other embodiments, the shape of the elastic strut 21 can be adapted as needed.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, to achieve a detachable connection between the elastic support rod 21 and the crossbar 11, in one embodiment, the postoperative sleep support also includes four rubber connecting tubes 4. Each rubber connecting tube 4 includes a first connecting tube 41 and a second connecting tube 42 that are perpendicular to each other. The first connecting tube 41 is used to insert into or separate from one end of the crossbar 11, and the second connecting tube 42 is used to insert into or separate from one end of the elastic support rod 21. Thus, one end of the crossbar 11 can be connected to one end of the elastic support rod 21 through a single rubber connecting tube 4. Similarly, the four rubber connecting tubes 4 are respectively installed at the four connection points between the two crossbars 11 and the two elastic support rods 21, so that the two elastic support rods 11 are detachably connected to the two crossbars 21. It is understood that in this embodiment, the rubber connecting tube 4 itself is made of rubber material and has a certain elasticity. Therefore, when one end of the crossbar 11 is inserted into the first connecting tube 41 or one end of the elastic support rod 21 is inserted into the second connecting tube 42, it is not easy to fall off. After the overall connection is completed, the two crossbars 11 and the two elastic support rods 21 can be rotated to form a symmetrical structure, thereby improving the overall aesthetics.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, in the above embodiment, the limiting part 3 includes a limiting plate 31, a fabric layer 32, and a second self-adhesive fastener 33. The limiting plate 31 is made of a rigid material and has a certain rigidity to ensure the relative position of the two crossbars 21 and the base 1. The fabric layer 32 wraps around the outside of the limiting plate 41 to prevent the edges of the limiting plate 31 from scratching the patient, thus improving safety. The second self-adhesive fastener 33 is respectively disposed at both ends of the limiting plate 41 to self-adhere and fix itself after passing over the two elastic support rods 21. The second self-adhesive fastener 33 has the same structural form as the first self-adhesive fastener 13; therefore, the second self-adhesive fastener 33 can be used to achieve free assembly and disassembly of the limiting part 3, thereby achieving free assembly and disassembly of the entire postoperative sleep support. Similarly, the second self-adhesive fastener 33 can be integrally formed with the fabric layer 32 to improve connection strength, or it can be manufactured separately from the fabric layer 32 to reduce manufacturing difficulty.

[0049] The following is a detailed explanation of the entire assembly and disassembly process of the postoperative sleep bolster:

[0050] The assembly process is as follows:

[0051] First, place the two crossbars 11 on the bed surface;

[0052] The second step is to wrap the first self-adhesive buckles 13 at both ends of the three binding straps 12 around the crossbar 11 and then self-adhere to fix them, thereby completing the assembly of the base 1.

[0053] The third step is to connect the first connecting pipe 41 of the four rubber connecting pipes 4 to the two ends of the two crossbars 11 respectively.

[0054] The fourth step is to connect the two ends of the two elastic struts 21 to the second connecting pipes 42 of the four rubber connecting pipes 4 respectively, thus completing the assembly of the elastic support part 2.

[0055] The fifth step is to wrap the second self-adhesive buckles 13 at both ends of the limiting plate 31 around the two elastic crossbars 21 and then self-adhere to fix them, thus completing the entire assembly process.

[0056] The disassembly process is as follows:

[0057] First, open the second self-adhesive buckles 13 at both ends of the limiting plate 31 to complete the disassembly of the limiting part 3;

[0058] The second step is to pull the two ends of the two elastic support rods 21 out of the second connecting pipes 42 of the four rubber connecting pipes 4 respectively, and complete the disassembly of the elastic support part 2.

[0059] The third step is to pull out the first connecting pipe 41 of the four rubber connecting pipes 4 from both ends of the two crossbars 11 respectively, thus completing the disassembly of the four rubber connecting pipes 4.

[0060] The fourth step is to open the first self-adhesive buckles 13 at both ends of the three restraint straps 12, thereby completing the disassembly of the base 1.

[0061] Understandably, in this embodiment, since the entire postoperative sleep support can be freely assembled and disassembled, it can be assembled and used while the patient is asleep, and disassembled for storage when the patient is not asleep. This benefits both the lifespan of the entire postoperative sleep support and prevents it from occupying excessive space when not in use. Furthermore, the overall structure of this postoperative sleep support is simple, and after disassembly, it can be placed in a flat packaging box, which is not only convenient for storage but also for logistics and transportation.

[0062] <Second Embodiment>

[0063] Based on the first embodiment, in the second embodiment of the present invention, both the crossbar 11 and the elastic support rod 21 are covered with soft fabric on their outer sides. Therefore, during patient use, even if the body touches the crossbar 11 and the elastic support rod 21, it will not feel cold, which helps to improve the comfort of using the sleep support after surgery.

[0064] <Third Embodiment>

[0065] like Figure 4As shown, based on the first embodiment, the postoperative sleep support in the third embodiment further includes a liner 5. Specifically, the liner 5 is laid on the surface of the base 1, and the liner 5 is supported by a soft fabric and can be replaced at any time. Thus, on the one hand, the soft liner 5 is in contact with the patient's body, improving comfort; on the other hand, the liner 5 can be replaced and washed, thereby maintaining hygiene and improving the cleanliness of the postoperative sleep support.

[0066] In summary, the postoperative sleep support provided by this invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0067] 1. It has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and all structural components are recyclable.

[0068] 2. All components can be flat-packed for easy mailing and carrying.

[0069] 3. Installation is simple, requiring no professional knowledge; simply follow the diagram to assemble and disassemble.

[0070] 4. The elastic struts, combined with the limiting plates, not only provide good elasticity but also offer strong support.

[0071] 5. It moves with the torso, does not affect turning over or turning to the side, and will not accidentally touch the wound.

[0072] The postoperative sleep support provided by this invention has been described in detail above. Any obvious modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essence of this invention will constitute an infringement of the patent rights of this invention and will incur corresponding legal liability.
