Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a soft spinal fixator. Background Art

[0002] Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine, and its pathogenesis can be summarized as genetic factors, neuromuscular system abnormalities, skeletal abnormalities, hormone and metabolic disorders, biomechanical factors, environmental and lifestyle factors, etc. Scoliosis is common in adolescents and some in young children (such as patients with neuromuscular system abnormalities and neuromuscular diseases). Common appearance deformities include bilateral shoulder and pelvic height asymmetry, chest deformity, trunk tilt, etc., which may progressively worsen with the patient's growth and development. In addition to affecting appearance, severe scoliosis will also directly affect the patient's cardiopulmonary function, balance function, eating or swallowing function, and is likely to cause secondary problems such as pain, nervous system traction or compression, malnutrition, and psychological disorders, which will bring extremely heavy mental and economic burdens to the patient's family and society, and seriously affect the quality of life.

[0003] Mild and moderate scoliosis is recommended to use orthopedic fixators and physical therapy. The main body of the rigid fixator is made of polyethylene or polypropylene plastic sheets, which can provide effective support for the trunk, but the material is relatively hard and stuffy, which can easily cause the user's skin to wear and sweat, so it is uncomfortable and difficult to use continuously; and related studies have shown that the main material of the rigid fixator has poor elasticity, which can easily compress the chest when used, hinder the expansion of the chest during normal breathing, and cause the user's lung capacity to decrease. Especially for patients with neuromuscular system diseases, rigid fixators will aggravate their existing respiratory dysfunction. Utility Model Content

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0033] The present invention is further described in detail below through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a soft spinal fixator, including a flexible support vest 100, an elastic support strip 200 and a restraint belt 300; a plurality of vertical installation bags 110 are arranged on the flexible support vest 100, and the elastic support strip 200 is inserted into the vertical installation bag 110; a Velcro 120 for controlling the opening and closing of the flexible support vest 100 is arranged on the flexible support vest 100; a connecting buckle is arranged on the outer wall of the flexible support vest 100, and the head and tail of the restraint belt 300 can be connected to each other through the connecting buckle.

[0035] Specifically, the patient wears the flexible support vest 100, and the Velcro 120 on the flexible support vest 100 allows the flexible support vest 100 to wrap the patient's entire torso. At the same time, the elastic support strip 200 inserted in the flexible support vest 100 can cooperate with the restraint belt 300 to support and restrain the patient's torso to control abnormal spinal movement and support the torso, while avoiding or reducing the deviation of the corrective force. The flexible support vest 100 can improve the patient's comfort and tolerance, and the elastic support strip 200 inserted in the flexible support vest 100 has a certain elasticity, so when used, it will not restrict the expansion of the patient's chest when breathing, and will not damage the user's respiratory function.

[0036] The vertical mounting bag 110 includes a first mounting bag that can correspond to both sides of the spine.

[0037] The vertical installation bag 110 further includes a second installation bag that can correspond to the mid-axillary line.

[0038] The vertical mounting bag 110 further includes a third mounting bag that can correspond to the anterior axillary line.

[0039] The vertical installation bag 110 further includes a fourth installation bag that can correspond to the mid-clavicular line.

[0040] Specifically, by embedding elastic support strips 200 along the vertical axis at specific positions of the flexible support vest 100 (on both sides of the spine, the mid-axillary line on the left and right sides, the anterior axillary line, and the mid-clavicular line), a longitudinal control force is applied to the patient's torso to match the normal growth direction of the spine, induce benign longitudinal growth of the spine, and limit abnormal lateral movement of the spine.

[0041] It should be pointed out that the flexible support vest 100 can be made of polyester fiber cloth. The flexible support vest 100 wraps the entire torso, and elastic support strips 200 are embedded along the vertical axis on both sides of the spine, on both sides of the mid-axillary line, the anterior axillary line, and the mid-clavicular line. The flexible support vest 100 can better control abnormal spinal movement, provide good support for the torso, maintain spinal stability, and reduce the displacement of the main body and the offset of the orthopedic force caused by the user's autonomous activities through Velcro 120 and restraint belt 300.

[0042] It should also be pointed out that the flexible support vest 100 can be supported by polyester fiber cloth, so that the texture of the flexible support vest 100 is soft and breathable, which can prevent the user from sweating or skin damage and reduce skin pressure; and the elastic support strip 200 can be made of polyethylene support strip, so that the elastic support strip 200 has a certain elasticity and will not restrict the expansion of the chest when the user breathes when in use, thereby taking into account both support and comfort without damaging the user's respiratory function.

[0043] It should be noted that before actual use, medical personnel need to tailor the size of the flexible support vest 100 and the position of the elastic support strip 200 for the patient, so that the soft spinal fixator provided in this embodiment can be suitable for patients with scoliosis tendency or scoliosis angle (Cobb angle) less than 30°, unrestricted spinal joint mobility, and good spinal flexibility.

[0044] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in an optional solution of this embodiment, a Velcro female surface 121 is provided on one side of the flexible support vest 100, and a plurality of Velcro male surfaces 122 are provided on the other side.

[0045] The Velcro male surface 122 includes a first Velcro male surface 1221 that can correspond to the patient's chest and a second Velcro male surface 1222 that can correspond to the patient's abdomen.

[0046] Specifically, the four groups of Velcro 120 on the front of the flexible support vest 100 can be divided into two groups for the chest and two groups for the abdomen according to the upper and lower positions. In addition, medical personnel can adjust the lengths of the four groups of Velcro 120 according to the body shape and physiological curvature of the spine (generally kyphosis of the back and lordosis of the waist) of different patients to further improve the fit between the main body and the user's torso.

[0047] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in an optional solution of this embodiment, the number of the restraining belts 300 is at least two.

[0048] The restraint belt 300 includes a first restraint belt 310 that can correspond to the upper abdomen of the patient and a second restraint belt 320 that can correspond to the waist of the patient.

[0049] Specifically, tightening the restraint belt 300 corresponding to the patient's upper abdomen and waist can increase the internal pressure of the patient's chest and abdominal cavities, promote longitudinal extension of the trunk, and help stabilize the spine.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model.
