Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a wrist fixing protector, in particular to a wrist fixing protector with better supporting strength. Background Art

[0002] When a patient's wrist is sprained or fractured due to an accident, medical staff will generally use a wrist fixation brace to fix the wrist to prevent the patient's wrist from being bent again and causing secondary injury. Compared with plastering to fix the patient's wrist, although the use of a wrist fixation brace to fix the patient's wrist is less likely to affect the patient's daily life, traditional wrist fixation braces generally have insufficient support strength and may not be able to effectively fix the patient's wrist, causing discomfort to the patient.

[0003] In addition, there are two types of commonly used braces, one of which is a brace for fixing an injured thumb, and the other is the wrist fixation brace mentioned above for fixing an injured wrist. However, if the patient unfortunately injures both the thumb and wrist at the same time, the patient often needs to spend extra money to buy two braces to fix the injured thumb and wrist. On the other hand, the size of each patient's wrist and thumb is different, and the wrapping fixing straps of the commonly used wrist fixation brace often need to be used with a variety of buckles of different sizes to be fastened in order to effectively cover and fix the patient's injured wrist. However, in this way, the industry also needs to prepare a variety of buckles of different sizes, which invisibly increases the overall inventory cost.

[0004] It can be seen that the design of traditional wrist fixation protectors is not perfect and there is still room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a new wrist fixation brace structure design, which has better support strength and achieves better fixation effect.

[0006] The invention relates to a wrist fixation brace provided according to the following embodiments, which is used to fix a wrist and a thumb, and the fixation brace includes a wrist cuff and a thumb cuff. The wrist cuff includes a wrapping and fixing strap, an upper hard fixing part and a fixing assembly, the wrapping and fixing strap is made of a flexible material and has a first end and a second end that are relatively arranged, and the wrapping and fixing strap is used to wrap the patient's wrist so that the first end is close to the second end. The upper hard fixing part is combined with the wrapping and fixing strap as a whole by embedded injection molding. The upper hard fixing part extends from the back to the front, and the fixing assembly is arranged on the wrapping and fixing strap and fixes the first end and the second end, so that the wrapping and fixing strap can effectively wrap and fix the wrist. The thumb cuff is made of a hard material and connected to the front end of the wrapping and fixing strap.

[0007] Through the structural design of the above-mentioned wrist fixation brace, the flexible wrapping fixation strap can effectively cover the wrists and arms of patients of different sizes, and at the same time the upper hard fixing part with higher supporting strength can effectively prevent the patient's wrist from being displaced. Therefore, the wrist fixation brace of the utility model can produce a more effective fixation effect on the patient's wrist, preventing the patient's wrist from being injured again.

[0047] In order to explain the technical features of the present invention in detail, the following embodiments are given with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

[0048] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment provides a wrist fixation brace 1. When a patient's hand is injured, medical staff can use the wrist fixation brace 1 of this embodiment to fix the patient's left or right wrist W and thumb T. The wrist fixation brace 1 structurally includes a wrist cuff 10 and a thumb cuff 80.

[0049] The wristband 10 structurally comprises a wrapping and fixing strap 20, an upper hard fixing member 30 and a fixing assembly 40. The wrapping and fixing strap 20 is made of a flexible material (e.g., rubber) and has a first end 21, a central portion 22 and a second end 23 that are arranged opposite to each other. The first end 21 and the second end 23 are located at two opposite sides of the central portion 22. The wrapping and fixing strap 20 is used to wrap a portion of the wrist W and the forearm F. When the wrapping and fixing strap 20 wraps a portion of the wrist W and the forearm F, the first end 21 will be close to the second end 23 and may partially overlap the second end 23. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the wrapping and fixing band 20 is provided with a plurality of hollow air holes 72 to enhance the ventilation effect. A front fixing band 60 is provided at the front end of the wrapping and fixing band 20, and the front fixing band 60 is integrally connected to the front end of the central portion 22 of the wrapping and fixing band 20 and has a plurality of first front fixing holes 61 arranged in a transverse straight line. A side of the front end of the wrapping and fixing band 20 relative to the front fixing band 60 (i.e., the front side of the second end 23) is also provided with a plurality of second front fixing holes 71 arranged in a transverse straight line. On the other hand, a plurality of longitudinal positioning holes 73 are arranged in a longitudinal direction at the front end of the first end 21 of the wrapping and fixing band 20, a plurality of first rear fixing holes 211 are also arranged in a transverse straight line at the rear end of the first end 21 of the wrapping and fixing band 20, and a plurality of second rear fixing holes 232 are also arranged in a transverse straight line at the rear end of the second end 23 of the wrapping and fixing band 20. In addition, a plurality of first middle fixing holes 231 are also provided at the second end 23 of the wrapping and fixing band 20. The number of the fixing holes 211 , 231 , 232 , 61 , 71 , 73 can be increased or decreased according to actual needs, and the fixing holes 211 , 231 , 232 , 61 , 71 , 73 are arranged at equal intervals.

[0050] The upper hard fixing part 30 is integrated with the central part 22 of the wrapping and fixing band 20 by insert injection molding. The upper hard fixing part 30 extends from the back to the front, and its material can be selected from hard plastic. The upper hard fixing part 30 can make the central part 22 of the wrapping and fixing band 20 have a higher hardness, so that the wrapping and fixing band 20 can effectively fix the forearm F and the wrist W, and prevent the wrist W from moving relative to the forearm F. In some cases, in order to further enhance the effect of fixing the wrist W.

[0051] The fixing assembly 40 is disposed on the wrapping fixing band 20 and is used to fix the first end 21 and the second end 23, so as to maintain the state that the wrapping fixing band 20 covers the forearm F and the wrist W. In this embodiment, the fixing assembly 40 includes a wrapping band 41, a fixing band 42 and a plurality of fixing plug-in components 43. One end of the wrapping band 41 is fixed to the first end 21 of the wrapping fixing band 20 and the other end is connected to the end of the fixing band 42. The wrapping band 41 is elastic. The fixing band 42 has a plurality of second middle fixing holes 421. When the wrapping fixing band 20 covers the forearm F and the wrist W, the medical staff can tighten the wrapping fixing band 20 through the wrapping band 41, and finally plug one of the appropriate first middle fixing holes 231 and the second middle fixing hole 421 through one of the fixing plug-in components 43, so that the first end 21 and the second end 23 can be fixed, and the forearms F and wrists W of different sizes can be effectively covered. As for the remaining fixing plugs 43, one is used to insert and fix one of the first front fixing holes 61 of the front fixing belt 60 and one of the second front fixing holes 71 of the second end 23; the other fixing plug 43 is used to insert and fix one of the first rear fixing holes 211 of the first end 21 and one of the second rear fixing holes 232 of the second end 23. Figure 4 As shown, the fixed connector 43 includes a disk 431 and a rod 432, one end of the rod 432 is integrally connected to the disk 431, and the other end of the rod 432 is provided with a first protrusion 433, and the rod 432 also has a second protrusion 434, and the second protrusion 434 is located between the disk 431 and the first protrusion 433. Through the first protrusion 433 and the second protrusion 434, the fixed connector 43 can be effectively inserted and fixed to each fixing hole 211, 231, 232, 61, 71, 73.

[0052] Please go back Figure 2 and Figure 3 The thumb sleeve 80 is connected to the front end of the wrapping and fixing band 20. The thumb sleeve 80 has a hard sleeve 81 and a thumb sleeve 82. The hard sleeve 81 can be made of, for example, hard plastic. The front end of the hard sleeve 81 is provided with a front fixing protrusion 811 and the rear end is provided with a rear fixing protrusion 812. The hard sleeve 81 is inserted and fixed to one of the longitudinal positioning holes 73 at the front end of the central portion 22 of the wrapping and fixing band 20 through the rear fixing protrusion 812. The thumb sleeve 82 is connected to the front end of the hard sleeve 81 and has a plurality of belt holes 821. The front fixing protrusion 811 of the hard sleeve 81 is inserted and fixed to one of the belt holes 821. After that, when the thumb sleeve 82 surrounds the front side of the thumb T, it is sleeved with the front fixing protrusion 811 of the hard sleeve 81 through another belt hole 821, so that the patient's thumb T can be fixed by the thumb sleeve 80, and the displacement of the thumb T is prevented from pulling the wrist W and causing discomfort to the wrist W.

[0053] Through the structural design of the above-mentioned wrist fixation brace 1, when the patient's wrist W is injured, medical staff can effectively cover the patient's wrist W and forearm F of different sizes through the flexible wrapping fixation strap 20, and at the same time support the upper hard fixing part 30 with higher strength to effectively prevent the patient's wrist W from being displaced, thereby being able to produce a more effective fixation effect on the patient's wrist W and prevent the patient's wrist W from being injured again.

[0054] In addition, through the structural design of the wrist fixation brace 1 of the present invention, medical personnel only need to use the fixing connector 43 of the same structure to effectively cover and fix the injured wrist by wrapping the fixing strap 20 through the fixing holes 211, 231, 232, 61, 71, 73 in the middle and lower parts. Therefore, the wrist fixation brace 1 of the present invention only needs to use buckles of the same size, which can effectively reduce the inventory cost of the industry.

[0055] In addition, the utility model has a plurality of fixing holes 211, 231, 232, 61, 71, 73, 421. The user can insert and fix the fixing connector 43 into different fixing holes 211, 231, 232, 61, 71, 73, 421 according to the size of the user's palm and wrist or the size after bandage. This allows the fixed protective gear to achieve the most stable protection effect.

[0056] Furthermore, the wrist brace 1 of the present invention can also connect the thumb sleeve 80 to the wrist sleeve 10 according to the actual needs of the patient, so that the patient does not need to buy two braces when the wrist and thumb are injured at the same time, which can effectively reduce the patient's financial expenses. The above are the key points of the wrist brace of the present invention.

[0057] Finally, it must be stated again that the methods and components disclosed in the aforementioned embodiments of the present invention are only illustrative and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any simple structural modifications or changes that do not go beyond the spirit of the present invention, or replacement with other equivalent components, should still fall within the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
