Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to an inflatable turning mat. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of medical care, long-term bedridden patients need to be turned regularly to prevent pressure sores. However, traditional turning methods usually require caregivers to turn the patient's body at regular intervals. Not only is turning labor-intensive and difficult to guarantee the frequency and effectiveness of turning, but the turning angle is also small, only able to lift half of the body slightly, and cannot achieve a complete rotation of the patient's body.

[0003] On the other hand, there is a problem with poor mobility; the position cannot be adjusted according to the patient's movement during turning. Furthermore, safety during turning cannot be effectively guaranteed, as there is insufficient lateral support and protection in the direction of rotation, making slippage easy. Cleaning after use is complicated and poses a risk of cross-infection.

[0004] To address the above issues, there is an urgent need for a medical inflatable turning mat that can assist patients in turning over, is easy to operate, provides greater comfort, and helps patients without interfering with examination equipment.

[0005] The preceding description is intended to provide general background information and does not necessarily constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an inflatable turning mat that can assist patients in turning over. It is simple to operate, more comfortable, and can help patients without affecting the use of examination equipment.

[0007] This invention provides an inflatable turning mat, comprising an upper turning mat, a lower turning mat, and an inflation valve; the lower part of the upper turning mat is connected to the upper part of the lower turning mat, and the inflation valve is connected to both the upper and lower turning mats; the cross-sections of the upper and lower turning mats are generally triangular, and the cross-sections of the upper and lower turning mats are centrally symmetrical; the upper surface of the upper turning mat is parallel to the bottom surface of the lower turning mat.

[0008] Furthermore, both the upper and lower turning pads include a turning pad side panel, a turning pad upper panel, a Y-shaped baffle, and a turning pad middle panel; the turning pad side panel has a V-shaped cross-section, one end of the turning pad upper panel is connected to one end of the turning pad middle panel, the other end of the turning pad upper panel is connected to one end of the turning pad side panel, and the other end of the turning pad middle panel is connected to the other end of the turning pad side panel; the Y-shaped baffle is located in the cavity formed by the turning pad side panel, the turning pad upper panel, and the turning pad middle panel. The two extended ends of the Y-shaped baffle are respectively connected to the upper piece and the middle piece of the turning pad, and the other extended end of the Y-shaped baffle is connected to the middle of the side piece of the turning pad; the Y-shaped baffle divides the cavity formed by the side piece, the upper piece, and the middle piece of the turning pad into a first air bladder cavity, a second air bladder cavity, and a third air bladder cavity; the first air bladder cavity, the second air bladder cavity, and the third air bladder cavity are interconnected; the cross sections of the upper turning pad and the lower turning pad are centrally symmetrical about the middle piece of the turning pad.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper turning pad and the lower turning pad also include flow-limiting plates, which are installed in the third airbag cavity and are respectively connected to the upper piece of the turning pad and the middle piece of the turning pad.

[0010] Furthermore, the inflatable turning mat also includes handles, which are connected to both sides of the bottom surface of the lower turning mat.

[0011] Furthermore, the inflatable turning mat also includes an air pump, which is connected to the air valve via a conduit.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper turning pad is made of flexible coated PVC material.

[0013] Furthermore, the inflation valve is a pressure-limiting inflation valve.

[0014] This invention's inflatable turning mat allows patients to turn over simply by inflating it with an air pump, eliminating the need for multiple assistants. Perforated handles on both sides allow medical staff to change patient positions and move them, effectively saving manpower and resources. It prioritizes patient safety during turning by guiding and limiting airway flow, ensuring air enters the protective airbag area first to prevent slippage and guarantee patient safety. The inflation amount and airbag height can be adjusted according to medical needs. Using the airbag as a carrier for turning allows for better limb contact, pressure distribution, and improved comfort. Unlike traditional axial turning methods, this allows for holistic patient turning. The inflation valve uses a pressure-limiting valve to prevent air leakage, ensuring continuous turning for the patient, and allows for one-button deflation after use. Attached Figure Description

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Figure 1 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of the inflatable turning mat provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A top view of the structure of an inflatable turning mat. Figure 3 for Figure 1 A structural diagram of an inflatable turning mat. Please refer to it. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The inflatable turning mat provided in this embodiment of the invention includes an upper turning mat 100, a lower turning mat 200, and an inflation valve 300; the lower part of the upper turning mat 100 is connected to the upper part of the lower turning mat 200, and the inflation valve 300 is connected to both the upper turning mat 100 and the lower turning mat 200; the cross-sections of the upper turning mat 100 and the lower turning mat 200 are generally triangular, and the cross-sections of the upper turning mat 100 and the lower turning mat 200 are centrally symmetrical; the upper surface of the upper turning mat 100 is parallel to the bottom surface of the lower turning mat 200.

[0036] Further reference Figure 1 Specifically, both the upper turning pad 100 and the lower turning pad 200 of the present invention include a turning pad side piece 110, a turning pad upper piece 130, a Y-shaped baffle 140, and a turning pad middle piece 150; the turning pad side piece 110 has a V-shaped cross-section, one end of the turning pad upper piece 130 is connected to one end of the turning pad middle piece 150, the other end of the turning pad upper piece 130 is connected to one end of the turning pad side piece 110, and the other end of the turning pad middle piece 150 is connected to the other end of the turning pad side piece 110; the Y-shaped baffle 140 is located in the cavity formed by the turning pad side piece 110, the turning pad upper piece 130, and the turning pad middle piece 150, the Y... The two extended ends of the Y-shaped baffle 140 are respectively connected to the upper piece 130 and the middle piece 150 of the turning pad, and the other extended end of the Y-shaped baffle 140 is connected to the middle of the side piece 110 of the turning pad; the Y-shaped baffle 140 divides the cavity formed by the side piece 110, the upper piece 130 and the middle piece 150 of the turning pad into a first airbag cavity 400, a second airbag cavity 500 and a third airbag cavity 600; the first airbag cavity 400, the second airbag cavity 500 and the third airbag cavity 600 are interconnected; the cross sections of the upper turning pad 100 and the lower turning pad 200 are centrally symmetrical about the middle piece 150 of the turning pad.

[0037] It should be noted that the upper turning pad 100 and the lower turning pad 200 of the present invention provide support, balance and protection for turning over through three interconnected air bladders: the first air bladder cavity 400, the second air bladder cavity 500 and the third air bladder cavity 600.

[0038] In addition, the cross sections of the upper turning pad 100 and the lower turning pad 200 are centrally symmetrical about the middle piece of the turning pad 150. At the same time, the upper turning pad 100 and the lower turning pad 200 have the same structure and material, ensuring that the turning effect on both sides is consistent.

[0039] It should be noted that the two extended ends of the Y-shaped baffle 140 are respectively connected to the upper piece 130 and the middle piece 150 of the turning pad, and the other extended end of the Y-shaped baffle 140 is connected to the middle part of the side piece 110 of the turning pad, so that the Y-shaped baffle 140 can effectively control the deformation of the airbag in the inflation state.

[0040] It should be noted that the side panel 110 of the turning pad is connected to the upper panel 130, the Y-shaped baffle 140, and the middle panel 150 of the turning pad, respectively; this can provide sufficient support for turning over.

[0041] It should be noted that both the upper turning pad 100 and the lower turning pad 200 are connected to an inflation valve 300 located on both sides of the turning pad. Inflating the pad in the direction of turning will enable turning in that direction. After inflation, gas leakage can be effectively controlled, and the airtightness of the airbag can be improved. During use, medical staff can inflate the turning pad with a certain amount of gas according to the patient's specific condition and rehabilitation needs to control and adjust the turning angle and height.

[0042] The inflatable turning mat of this invention utilizes a Y-shaped baffle 140 to limit the deformation of the airbag in the inflated state, enabling the airbag to provide sufficient support and turning angle for the patient. At the same time, it also limits the airway connecting to the airbag and divides the airbag into functional zones, increasing the protection against the patient slipping. The symmetrical structural design of the upper turning mat 100 and the lower turning mat 200 improves the ease of operation for turning in different directions. The whole structure is foldable for storage, reducing storage costs.

[0043] Further reference Figure 1 The upper turning pad 100 and the lower turning pad 200 of the present invention also include a flow limiting plate 160, which is installed in the third airbag cavity 600 and is connected to the upper piece 130 and the middle piece 150 of the turning pad, respectively.

[0044] It should be noted that the flow restrictor connects the upper piece 130 and the middle piece 150 of the turning pad, effectively restricting the flow direction of gas after it enters the airbag.

[0045] Further reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 The inflatable turning mat of the present invention also includes handles 700, which are connected to both sides of the bottom surface of the lower turning mat 200.

[0046] It should be noted that the handle 700 is made of non-woven fabric, which allows for flexible movement of the turning mat and improves the mobility of medical staff.

[0047] Further reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 The inflatable turning mat of the present invention also includes an air pump 800, which is connected to the air valve 300 via a conduit.

[0048] Furthermore, the upper layer of the turning pad 100 of the present invention is made of flexible coated PVC material.

[0049] It should be noted that the top of the upper turning mat 100 is the main contact surface with the human body and is made of flexible coated PVC material, which effectively improves the comfort of the user during use.

[0050] Furthermore, the inflation valve 300 is a pressure-limiting inflation valve. The inflation valve uses a pressure-limiting inflation valve, preventing air leakage and ensuring continuous turning of the patient. It also allows for one-button deflation after use.

[0051] As can be seen from the above description, the advantages of this invention are:

[0052] 1. The inflatable turning mat of the present invention is simple to operate: The present invention only requires an air pump to inflate the turning mat to help patients turn over, without the need for multiple people to help. The turning mat is designed with perforated handles on both sides, and medical staff can change the position and move the patient by dragging the handles, which effectively saves manpower and resources.

[0053] 2. The inflatable turning pad of the present invention provides effective protection: The present invention fully considers the protection of the patient during the turning process, guides and limits the airway, and allows gas to enter the protective area airbag to prevent the patient from slipping and ensure the patient's safety.

[0054] 3. The inflatable turning mat of the present invention has an adjustable height: the amount of inflation can be adjusted according to medical and nursing needs, thereby adjusting the height of the airbag;

[0055] 4. The inflatable turning pad of the present invention provides high comfort: Traditional mechanical turning devices mostly achieve the purpose of turning over by adjusting the angle of the bed surface of the nursing bed. The contact surface is flat and cannot fully conform to the physiological curvature of the human body, and may even cause pressure injury; The present invention uses an air bag as a carrier to achieve the effect of turning over, which can better conform to the limbs, distribute pressure, and improve comfort.

[0056] 5. The inflatable turning mat of the present invention enables holistic turning: unlike traditional turning methods that involve turning along the central axis of the patient's body, it can help the patient achieve holistic turning.

[0057] 6. The inflatable turning pad of the present invention features pressure-limited inflation: the inflation valve adopts a pressure-limited inflation valve, which prevents air leakage and ensures a continuous turning effect for the patient. At the same time, it can be deflated with one button after use.

[0058] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
