Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clinical medicine, specifically to an adaptive elbow support operating table for endoscopic ear surgery and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Microscopes and otoscopes are widely used in clinical medicine. If the operation takes a long time, the surgeon's arm is prone to fatigue if it is not supported by a fixed support, which can lead to a decrease in stability to varying degrees. A suitable surgical arm support is needed to help the surgeon fix the elbow during the operation, so as to provide the surgeon with a more stable and sustained surgical operation.

[0003] However, the existing technology has the following drawbacks: Existing commonly used support frames can be divided into two types: one is a computer arm support, which has a limited range of motion, a fixed height, cannot be adjusted, and cannot be installed on the operating table, resulting in low clinical practicality; the other is a fixed surgical support, which has a fixed angle and height, cannot follow the doctor's elbow movement, and has relatively low flexibility and practicality.

[0004] A search revealed no identical device or equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adaptive elbow support operating table for endoscopic ear surgery and a method of using it, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An adaptive endoscopic otoscopic surgery elbow support operating table includes a clamping component, a first movable rod, a second movable rod, a third movable rod, and an arm rest. A slot is formed in the middle of one side of the clamping component, and second through slots are formed on both ends of the clamping component away from the slots. A vertical rod is inserted into the second through slot. One end of the vertical rod is at a 90-degree angle and fixedly connected to a first connecting block. The first connecting block is rotatably connected to one end of the first movable rod. The first, second, and third movable rods are all connected by a rotating connecting plate and maintain 360-degree rotation. The first and second movable rods are connected to the rotating connecting plate by a first movable nut to maintain rotatability. The other end of the third movable rod is fixed to the second movable rod by a second movable nut, and a third movable nut capable of 360-degree rotation is installed at the other end of the third movable rod. The arm rest and the second connecting block connected to the third movable nut also support 360-degree rotation. The arm rest is rotatably installed on the top of the third movable nut via a connector.

[0007] The above-mentioned technical solution features a rotating connection between the movable rods, which can move with the surgeon's elbow, improving the flexibility of the support device. The arm support component facilitates support of the surgeon's arm, providing the surgeon with a more stable and sustained surgical operation.

[0008] The first connecting block has a threaded hole in the middle of its top, and a first through groove is provided at one end of the first movable rod. The end of the first movable rod with the first through groove is located at the top of the first connecting block and the two are connected by a fixing screw. The bottom of the fixing screw has an external thread that is threaded to the threaded hole. The top of the fixing screw has a rotating convex handle to facilitate the insertion and removal of the fixing nut.

[0009] The above technical solution features a first movable rod that is rotatably connected to the top of the upright, allowing for horizontal rotation to adjust the angle, making it more flexible and applicable. The middle of the fixing screw is smooth and threadless, and is rotatably connected to the second movable rod.

[0010] The two ends of the rotating connecting plate are rotatably connected to one end of the first movable rod and one end of the second movable rod respectively through a rotating shaft, and both ends of the rotating shaft are fixedly installed with circular baffles. The arm support contains a load-bearing bracket that can bear force.

[0011] Using the above technical solution, the circular baffle can prevent the rotating shaft from falling off, ensure the firmness of the support device connection, and the load-bearing bracket can ensure that the arm support does not deform under force.

[0012] The clamping member has a threaded through hole in the middle of the side away from the slot, and an adjusting screw is installed inside the hole. One end of the adjusting screw is located inside the slot and is in close contact with one side of the upright. The other end of the adjusting screw is fixedly installed with a plum blossom-shaped rotating handle.

[0013] Using the above technical solution, the clamping slot of the solution is easy to engage and install on the edge of the operating table, tightening the adjusting screw can fix the upright, and the plum blossom-shaped rotating handle is easy to turn.

[0014] The arm support is divided into a rear arm support area, an elbow support area, and a forearm support area. The arm support is shaped like a "┏" with a certain angle and inclination, and the top of the arm support has a groove. The length of the forearm support area is 200mm-250mm, and the length of the rear arm support area is 100mm-150mm. The groove of the arm support is a semi-circular arc with a diameter of 5mm-12mm. The forearm support area and the rear arm support area are inclined at an angle of 20 degrees to 60 degrees from the elbow support area. The inner and outer edges of the groove of the arm support have raised protective railings.

[0015] The above technical solution features an integrated arm support design that is easy to wear. The protective rails ensure that the arm does not detach from the arm support during arm movement, allowing the arm support to move with the doctor's arm.

[0016] Both sides of the top of the connector are provided with small arch fixing strips, and the small arch fixing strips are snapped into place on both sides of the elbow support area. The middle of both sides of the elbow support area is provided with mounting holes, and the mounting holes are rotatably connected to the small arch fixing strips through a rotating shaft. Three fixing square buckles are evenly fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the arm support.

[0017] Using the above technical solution, the arm support and connector are rotatably connected, making it more flexible. The fixing buckle at the top of the arm support facilitates the use of sterile tubes for binding.

[0018] The inner walls at both ends of the slot are bonded with rubber pads, and the inside of the arm rest is padded with a sponge pad.

[0019] The above technical solution uses a rubber pad for protection, ensuring a tight connection between the slot and the edge of the operating table to prevent slippage, while the sponge pad improves comfort during use.

[0020] Instructions for use: First, engage the clamping slot on the metal side bar of the operating table. Then, move the upright through the second through slot on the clamp to adjust it to a suitable height, and tighten the adjusting screw to fix the upright.
