[0002] Pressure injury refers to local damage to the skin and subcutaneous tissue due to pressure or pressure combined with shear force. It usually occurs where the body contacts the supporting surface, such as the heel, sacrum, buttocks, etc., and is mainly manifested by redness, breakage, and even ulcers.

[0003] For patients who are bedridden for a long time, have difficulty in moving, or suffer from certain diseases, due to long-term pressure on the lower limbs, limited mobility, greater pressure on the lower limbs, poor blood circulation and nerve function, they are often prone to heel pressure sores, causing pain to the patients. Currently, in order to prevent patients from developing heel pressure sores, a gel ring or a decompression ring is usually put on the outside of the patient's lower limb, so that the heel is suspended in the air, and the gel ring or the decompression ring can be driven to rotate as the patient's body position changes, which not only prevents pressure injuries on the heel, but also makes it convenient for patients to use.

[0004] Although the gel ring or decompression ring in the prior art can effectively reduce the patient's pressure injury, the size of the gel ring or the decompression ring cannot be adjusted in actual use. When some obese patients use it, since the obese patients' lower limbs are relatively thick, the gel ring or the decompression ring will squeeze the patients' lower limbs, causing discomfort to the patients and weakening the blood circulation in the lower limbs. Therefore, a pad for preventing lower limb pressure injuries is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
