Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to medical products, in particular to an elastic bandage with different width ratios and enhanced fixing function. Background Art

[0002] Elastic bandage is a common medical product and is also widely used in the fields of sports protection and injury rehabilitation. It is a soft and elastic textile that can provide mild compression and support while maintaining joint mobility.

[0003] The main advantage of elastic bandages is their elasticity and flexibility. The elasticity of this bandage allows it to fit closely to the curves of the body, providing slight compression and support. It is also able to stretch and contract, maintaining a proper fit as muscles and joints move, thereby increasing comfort during exercise. Secondly, elastic bandages have good breathability and perspiration wicking functions. It is usually made of textile materials with good breathability, which helps to dissipate heat and prevent excessive sweating. This is very important for comfort during long-term wear and exercise, and it also reduces the possibility of the bandage sliding or rolling.

[0004] However, despite the many advantages of elastic bandages, there are still some problems with the currently commonly used elastic bandages that need to be understood and considered. For example, the width of commonly used elastic bandages is fixed, and in order to have better coverage, they are usually made wider, so when they are wrapped around the affected part, they often encounter some obstacles and are difficult to fix. In addition, due to the fixed width or fixed length, the affected part's mobility is affected due to excessive coverage.

[0005] In addition, the fixing structure of the commonly used elastic bandage is usually connected to the other end only by an adhesive portion provided at one end in the long direction. When the affected part is subjected to slightly intense activities, it is easy to fall off with a single fixing structure, and needs to be fixed again, which is relatively inconvenient in use.

[0006] Therefore, how to improve the problems of winding and fixing of commonly used elastic bandages is a difficult problem that the practitioners in the related fields need to solve urgently. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the elastic bandage disclosed in a first preferred embodiment of the present invention mainly comprises: a body 10, a first fixing portion 20 and a second fixing portion 30. The body 10 is a non-woven fabric structure with a roughly bottle-shaped shape and certain elasticity and waterproofness, and has a wide portion 11 and a narrow portion 12.

[0048] Here, an X-axis direction is defined as the length direction of the body 10, a Y-axis direction is defined as the width direction of the body 10, and a Z-axis direction is defined as the thickness direction of the body 10. The X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis are orthogonal to each other (or perpendicular to each other).

[0049] The wide portion 11 and the narrow portion 12 are connected to each other along the X-axis direction. The length of the wide portion 11 along the X-axis direction is greater than the length of the narrow portion 12 along the X-axis direction. The width of the wide portion 11 along the Y-axis direction perpendicular to the X-axis is greater than the width of the narrow portion 12 along the Y-axis direction, and the width of at least a portion of the body 10 along the Y-axis direction gradually decreases from the wide portion 11 toward the narrow portion 12.

[0050] The body 10 has a first end 13 and a second end 14 at opposite ends along the X-axis direction, the first end 13 is adjacent to the wide portion 11, and the first end 13 is arc-shaped. The second end 14 is adjacent to the narrow portion 12, and the second end 14 is trapezoidal. The first fixing portion 20 is disposed on the wide portion 11 and adjacent to the first end 13 of the body 10, and the second fixing portion 14 is disposed on the narrow portion 12 and adjacent to the second end 14 of the body 10.

[0051] The first fixed portion 20 has an opening 21 and a movable piece 22. The opening 21 is a hole further enclosed by a predetermined shaped cut line. The movable piece 22 is a piece corresponding to the opening 21 formed by separating a part of the wide portion 11 along the cut line, and at least a part of the movable piece 22 is connected to the wide portion 11 and can move relative to the wide portion 11. The movable piece 22 can be driven by a user to move relative to the opening 21 along the Z axis direction which is perpendicular to both the X axis and the Y axis.

[0052] In this embodiment, the opening 21 of the first fixing portion 20 and the movable sheet 22 are both in a teardrop shape. The second fixing portion 30 has a Velcro 31, which is disposed on one side of the body 10 along the Z axis direction. The Velcro 31 of the second fixing portion 30 can form an adhesive state with any position of the body 10. In another embodiment, the second fixing portion can be configured with any other equivalent combination structure that can be fixed to the body.

[0053] In one embodiment, the first fixing portion 20 is also provided with a Velcro (not shown); the movable sheet 22 is also provided with a Velcro (not shown); thereby, the Velcro 31 and the first fixing portion 20 or the movable sheet 22 are bonded to form a bonding state, so as to strengthen the fixing strength of the main body 10 to the affected part 100.

[0054] See also Figure 3 As shown, when a user uses the present invention to bandage an affected part 100 (such as the wrist shown in this figure), the user can first pass the body 10 through the fingers along the first fixing part 20 and abut against the palm, then repeatedly wrap the body 10 around the affected part 100, and finally adhere the second fixing part 30 to any position of the body 10. Through the design of the first fixing part 20 and the second fixing part 30, the fixing strength of the body 10 to the affected part 100 can be strengthened.

[0055] On the other hand, the design of different width ratios and length ratios of the wide portion 11 and the narrow portion 12 can make it easier for the main body 10 to wrap around the affected part 100 when wrapping, and reduce the ineffective wrapping area. In another embodiment, the user can also wrap the main body repeatedly around the affected part, and finally pass the second fixing part 30 through the first fixing part 20 and then adhere it to any position of the main body, so as to use the first fixing part 20 to strengthen the fixing strength of the second fixing part 30.

[0056] See also Figure 4As shown, the elastic bandage disclosed in a second preferred embodiment of the present invention has a similar structure to the elastic bandage of the first preferred embodiment, and the only difference is that the first fixing portion 20 further has a tangent line 23, one end of which is connected to one end of the opening 21, and the other end extends along the X-axis direction. Thus, when the user needs a larger opening 21, the wide portions 11 on both sides can be separated along the tangent line 23, thereby expanding the area of ​​the opening 21.

[0057] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the elastic bandages disclosed in a third preferred embodiment and a fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention have structures similar to the elastic bandages of the aforementioned embodiments, with the only difference being that the opening 21 of the first fixing portion 20 and the movable sheet 22 are semicircular in shape.

[0058] Similar to the second preferred embodiment, in the fourth preferred embodiment, the first fixing portion 20 further has the tangent 23 extending along the X-axis direction compared to the third preferred embodiment, one end of which is connected to one end of the opening 21 and the other end of which extends along the X-axis direction.

[0059] In this embodiment, the tangent line 23 further divides the movable sheet 22 into two sheets approximately in the shape of a quarter of a circle, thereby increasing the area of ​​the opening 21 and improving the mobility of the movable sheet 22 .

[0060] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the elastic bandage disclosed in a fifth preferred embodiment and a sixth preferred embodiment of the present invention is similar in structure to the aforementioned embodiment, and the difference is only that: the opening 21 of the first fixing portion 20 is changed into an X-shape, so that the first fixing portion 20 generates four movable pieces 22. Similar to the second preferred embodiment and the fourth preferred embodiment, in the sixth preferred embodiment, compared with the fifth preferred embodiment, the first fixing portion 20 further has a tangent line 23 extending along the X-axis direction, one end of which is connected to the center of the opening 21, and the tangent line 23 further divides the four movable pieces 22 into five triangular pieces, which can increase the area of ​​the opening 21 and improve the mobility of the movable pieces 22.

[0061] See also Fig. 8A and Figure 8BAs shown, the elastic bandage disclosed in a seventh preferred embodiment and an eighth preferred embodiment of the present invention is similar in structure to the aforementioned embodiments, with the only difference being that in the seventh preferred embodiment, the opening 21 of the first fixing portion 20 is changed into a V-shape and has a tangent 23 extending along the X-axis direction, one end of which is connected to the opening 21, so that the first fixing portion 20 produces two movable sheets 22.

[0062] In the eighth preferred embodiment, the opening 21 of the first fixing portion 20 becomes a Λ shape and has a tangent line 23 extending along the X-axis direction, one end of which is connected to the opening 21, so that the first fixing portion 20 produces three movable pieces 22.

[0063] See also Fig. 9 As shown, the elastic bandage disclosed in a ninth preferred embodiment of the present invention has a structure similar to that of the elastic bandage of the aforementioned embodiment, and the difference is that in this embodiment, the elastic bandage further includes a receiving portion 40. The receiving portion 40 is a non-woven fabric structure with elasticity and waterproofness, and is disposed on the wide portion 11 of the body 10, and the receiving portion 40 and the second fixing portion 30 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the body 10 along the Z axis perpendicular to the X axis and the Y axis.

[0064] The storage portion 40 has two closed ends 41 on opposite sides along the Y axis, which are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the wide portion 11 along the Y axis. The storage portion 40 has two open ends 42 on opposite sides along the X axis, so that the body 40 forms a storage space 50 between the wide portion 11 and the storage portion 40, and the two open ends 42 are respectively connected to the storage space 50. The user can insert a filler 60 into the storage space 50 along any one of the two open ends 42 of the storage portion 40, as shown in FIG. Fig.10 shown.

[0065] Thus, when the user Figure 3 When the body 10 is wrapped around the affected part 100, the filler 60 in the storage space 50 can be adjacent to the affected part 100 and provide additional therapeutic effects. The filler 60 may include but is not limited to ice packs, hot packs, cold gels, shock-absorbing pads (PU foam pads, high-density EVA foam pads), medicated cloths, sterilized cloths, tourniquets and other items, which respectively provide ice compress, hot compress, cooling, joint protection, drug treatment, sterilization, hemostasis and other effects.

[0066] See also Fig.11As shown, the elastic bandage disclosed in the tenth preferred embodiment of the present invention has a structure similar to that of the elastic bandage of the ninth preferred embodiment, with the only difference being that in this embodiment, the elastic bandage further includes an electrotherapy portion 61, which is disposed between the storage portion 40 and the wide portion 11 and is electrically connected to a power source (not shown), for providing a microcurrent acting on the affected part 100 when the user wraps the body 10 around the affected part 100, so as to achieve the effect of electrotherapy. In this embodiment, the electrotherapy portion 61 can be fixed to the side of the storage portion 40 facing the wide portion 11; in another embodiment, the electrotherapy portion can also be inserted into the storage space in a detachable manner as a filler as in the ninth preferred embodiment.

[0067] See also Fig.12 As shown, the elastic bandage disclosed in an eleventh preferred embodiment of the present invention has a structure similar to that of the elastic bandage of the ninth preferred embodiment, with the only difference being that in this embodiment, the elastic bandage further includes a thermal therapy portion 62, which is disposed between the storage portion 40 and the wide portion 11 and is electrically connected to a power source (not shown), for providing heat energy acting on the affected part 100 when the user wraps the body 10 around the affected part 100, so as to achieve the effect of thermal therapy. In this embodiment, the thermal therapy portion 62 can be fixed to the side of the storage portion 40 facing the wide portion 11; in another embodiment, the thermal therapy portion can also be inserted into the storage space in a detachable manner as a filler as in the ninth preferred embodiment.

[0068] See also Fig.13 As shown, the elastic bandage disclosed in a twelfth preferred embodiment of the present invention has a structure similar to the multiple elastic bandage structures of the aforementioned embodiments, and the only difference is that the length of the wide portion 11 of the main body 10 along the X-axis direction is much greater than the length of the narrow portion 12 along the X-axis direction. In this embodiment, it also includes the storage portion 70, which is arranged on the wide portion 11 and adjacent to the first fixing portion 20. The storage portion 70 is a rectangular non-woven fabric structure, and each of the two opposite sides along the Y-axis direction and one side along the X-axis direction has a closed end 71, and the opposite side along the X-axis direction has an open end 72, so that the main body 10 forms a storage space 73 between the wide portion 11 and the storage portion 70, and the open end 72 is connected to the storage space 73. The user can insert a filler 74 into the storage space 73 along the open end 72 of the storage portion 70. Thereby, when the user Figure 3When the body 10 is wrapped around the affected part 100, the filler 74 in the receiving space 73 can be adjacent to the affected part 100 and provide additional medical functions. The filler 74 can include but is not limited to ice packs, hot packs, cold gels, shock-absorbing pads (PU foam pads), medicated cloths, sterilized cloths, tourniquets and other items, which respectively provide medical effects such as ice compress, hot compress, cooling, joint protection, drug treatment, sterilization, and hemostasis.

[0069] See also Fig.14 As shown, a thirteenth preferred embodiment of the present invention discloses an elastic bandage having two main bodies 80, two first fixing parts 81, two second fixing parts 82 and two receiving parts 83. Each of the main bodies 80 has a wide part 84 and a narrow part 85, and the two first fixing parts 81 and the two receiving parts 83 are respectively arranged on the wide parts 84 of the corresponding main body 80, and the two second fixing parts 82 are respectively arranged on the narrow parts 85 of the two main bodies. The two main bodies 80 are connected along the Y axis direction, so that the two wide parts 84 are connected to each other along the adjacent sides of the Y axis direction, and the two narrow parts 85 are spaced apart by a predetermined distance. In this way, the elastic bandage of this embodiment can cover the affected part of the user with a larger area, such as the front and back shoulders.

[0070] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the structural combination of the above embodiments. In other embodiments, any shape of the first fixing portion, any length ratio and width ratio of the wide portion / narrow portion, the presence or absence of the storage portion and the position, any combination of the above structures do not deviate from the application scope of the present invention.

[0071] In summary, the elastic bandage provided by the present invention can effectively reduce the ineffective covering area during bandaging through the structure of the wide part and the narrow part with different sizes. On the other hand, the structure of the first fixing part and the second fixing part can improve the fixing strength of the overall elastic bandage. The design of the storage part can provide the elastic bandage with other medical functions besides bandaging. Therefore, the elastic bandage of the present invention can solve the shortcomings of the conventional elastic bandage and provide a simpler and more convenient bandage use experience.
