Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of examination auxiliary equipment technology, specifically to a roll-type buttock pad for assisting in gynecological ultrasound examinations. Background Technology
[0002] Gynecological endoscopic ultrasound is a very common examination. Gynecology departments see many patients requiring this procedure daily. Some patients need to elevate their hips for a comprehensive scan (e.g., those with excessive anteflexion / retroflexion of the uterus, deep ovarian positioning, or those being evaluated for deep pelvic endometriosis). In these cases, doctors will ask the patient to clench their fists and place them under their hips to elevate them. While this method is simple, it lacks stability, especially for elderly, frail, or mobility-impaired patients who often cannot cooperate well. Furthermore, this posture can cause discomfort over time. Additionally, because each patient's fist size is different, the height they can raise their fist is limited, and not everyone can reach the required height for the examination. These factors can affect the quality and efficiency of the gynecological endoscopic ultrasound examination.
[0003] Chinese patent CN221691013U discloses a multifunctional height-increasing pad for ultrasound examinations. The pad includes a main body with a first groove on one side wall and an air tube on the other side wall. An inflatable bladder with a valve is located at the other end of the air tube. An air bladder is located inside the pad, with a second groove on one side wall and air holes on the other. When the ultrasound probe is restricted during a pelvic floor ultrasound examination, medical staff can place the main body of the pad under the patient's buttocks and inflate it to raise the buttocks to a certain height. The raising process is smooth, improving patient comfort. However, this technology also has risks of slow inflation adjustment and the air bladder suddenly slipping out from under the buttocks under pressure, posing significant safety hazards.
[0004] Chinese patent CN216797681U discloses a buttock pad for vaginal ultrasound examination, comprising a fixed plate and a movable plate hinged to one end of the fixed plate via a pivot. An electric telescopic rod is provided at the other end of the fixed plate, and the electric telescopic rod is movably hinged to the movable plate. A sponge pad is adhered to the surface of the movable plate. Side plates are provided on both sides of the fixed plate, and each side plate has an arc-shaped hole centered on the pivot. A side rod is provided on the side of the movable plate, and the side rod is slidably disposed within the arc-shaped hole. This technology, by setting up a fixed plate and a movable plate that are hinged to each other, and using the raising and lowering of the electric telescopic rod to adjust the hinge between the fixed plate and the movable plate, allows the buttocks to be raised to different angles as needed. Simultaneously, the sponge pad adhered to the movable plate ensures patient comfort during the examination. This technology has a large contact area between the fixed plate and the examination bed, and the force is more evenly and stably distributed, which is beneficial in significantly reducing sudden slippage during the examination. However, this technology still has the problems of slippage risk, complex and bulky structure, and high cost.
[0005] Therefore, a roll-type buttock pad for assisted elevation during gynecological ultrasound examination was proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention includes providing a roll-type buttock pad that is simple in structure, easy to use, and can be used as a mattress or to achieve stable elevation of the buttocks for gynecological ultrasound examinations.

[0024] 4. When not in use, the handle provided by this invention can be rotated to a drooping position close to the side of the examination bed, making it less likely to touch or disturb medical staff during the examination.
[0025] 5. The soft pad movable threading clamp included in this invention can be easily disassembled and assembled in two parts, making it convenient to clean, disinfect, and replace either part separately.
[0026] 6. When using this invention, the patient only needs to lie supine on the soft pad, turn the handle clockwise to roll up the soft pad to the desired height and place it under the patient's buttocks. It is simple and convenient to use.
[0027] 7. The present invention has a simple structure, low cost, and is easy to promote. Attached Figure Description

[0042] This invention provides 10 embodiments of a roll-type buttock pad for assisting in gynecological ultrasound examinations, see [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 3 It includes a soft pad 1, a clamp 2 and a Velcro 3. The Velcro 3 is attached to the bottom of the soft pad 1 to fix the soft pad 1 in the state of being curled by the clamp 2; the clamp 2 is fitted onto the soft pad 1.
[0043] The specific implementation method is described below:
[0044] The hook and loop fastener 3 has its barbed side 31 facing down and is attached to the front of the pad 1, while its looped side 32 faces down and is attached to the rear of the pad 1. See [link / reference]. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 .
[0045] The clamping device 2 includes a handle 22 and a rod assembly 21. The rod assembly 21 includes a connecting plate 212, a handle connector 211 connected to one end of the connecting plate 212, and a U-shaped rod 213 connected to the other end of the connecting plate 212. The handle 22 and the end of the handle connector 211 away from the connecting plate 212 are rotatably connected by a shaft 4, and the shaft 4 is perpendicular to the axis of the handle connector 211. (See [reference]) Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 .
[0046] The soft pad 1 is rectangular, with a scale 11 on its upper side. A U-shaped rod 213 passes through the soft pad 1. (See attached image) Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 .
[0047] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 212 is cylindrical in shape; the pad 1 is 12mm thick and made of thermoplastic elastomer material, and the pad 1 is laid on the examination bed 30.
[0048] How to use this invention:
[0049] S1. The patient lies supine on the soft pad 1 with his arms naturally placed at his sides, legs apart, knees bent, so that the extension of the 0 mark line is tangent to the lower end of the patient's pubic bone.
[0050] S2. According to the requirement to raise the patient's buttocks, push the clamp 2 to the corresponding value of the scale 11 at the bottom of the soft pad 1 (the larger the value, the more layers of the soft pad 1 will be wrapped by the clamp 2, the greater the thickness of the multiple layers of soft pad 1, and the higher the buttocks will be raised).
[0051] S3. Turn the handle 22 up until it is approximately on the same plane as the rod assembly 21. Hold the handle 22 and rotate it clockwise until the soft pad 1 is rolled up under the patient's buttocks (during this process, the rough side 32 and the barbed side 31 of the Velcro 3 are closely connected, thus fixing the rolled-up state of the soft pad 1). See [link / reference] Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 .
