Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary appliances, in particular to a special body position pillow for post-rotator cuff surgery care. Background Art
[0002] The rotator cuff, also known as the rotator cuff, is a group of tendon complexes wrapped around the humeral head. The front of the humeral head is the subscapularis tendon, the top is the supraspinatus tendon, and the back is the infraspinatus tendon and teres minor tendon. The movement of these tendons causes the shoulder joint to rotate internally, externally, and upward. At the same time, these tendons stabilize the humeral head on the scapula, playing an extremely important role in maintaining the stability and movement of the shoulder joint.
[0003] Existing rotator cuff surgeries have high requirements for postoperative body position. Patients need to lie in a supine position to relax the anterior muscles of the upper limbs, reduce postoperative pain, and reduce the impact of muscle traction on wound healing. Towels and pillows are used to support the patient's affected limb. Professionals are required to reposition the body after each movement of the affected limb. The position cannot be fixed, which can easily cause displacement. If the posture is wrong, it can easily cause tendon rupture again and increase wound tension, increasing the patient's pain, reducing the quality of the patient's rest and sleep, and not conducive to preventing complications, ultimately slowing down the recovery efficiency. At the same time, long-term fixed placement reduces the patient's comfort after surgery. Utility Model Content

[0014] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solution of the present invention is further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0015] The utility model provides a special body positioning pillow for post-rotator cuff surgery care, comprising a body positioning pillow base 1, the body positioning pillow base 1 is an inclined surface structure, an upper arm cushion 2 and a forearm cushion 3 are arranged on the inclined surface of the body positioning pillow base 1, one end of the upper arm cushion 2 and one end of the forearm cushion 3 are rotatably connected, the upper arm cushion 2 and the forearm cushion 3 are both provided with a groove 4 for placing the upper arm and forearm in a supine position, one end of the upper arm cushion 2 away from the forearm cushion 3 is hinged to the inclined surface through a pin 5, and the connection between the upper arm cushion 2 and the forearm cushion 3 is the placement of the elbow joint.
[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, a countersunk hole is provided on the inclined surface of the body pillow base 1, and the pin shaft 5 is installed in the countersunk hole, which can facilitate the protrusion of the pin shaft 5 and reduce the patient's comfort. The inclined surface of the body pillow base 1 can increase the height of the affected limb and raise the upper arm. The upper arm cushion 2 can be rotated under the action of the pin shaft 5 to change the angle of the upper arm abduction. The forearm cushion 3 is rotatably installed on the upper arm cushion 2, and the angles of the forearm cushion 2 and the upper arm cushion 3 are changed, so that the patient's forearm and upper arm can maintain a comfortable angle; the groove 4 can limit the forearm and upper arm of the affected limb; when in use, the body pillow base 1 can be used to increase the height of the affected limb and raise the upper arm. One side of the pillow base 1 is parallel to the patient's body, and then the patient's upper arm falls into the groove 4 of the upper arm pillow 2, and the patient's forearm falls into the groove 4 of the forearm pillow 3, so that the patient's arm is placed in an abducted neutral position, which reduces the tension of the wound and improves the patient's comfort, is beneficial to postoperative recovery, and limits the position of the affected limb, so that the placement position can be fixed and is not prone to displacement, which is helpful for the patient's recovery. If the patient stays in a fixed position for a long time, it is easy to cause fatigue. The abduction angle of the upper arm pillow 2 can be changed to adjust the patient's comfort.
[0017] A magnetic strip A is provided at the bottom of the upper arm pillow 2, and a plurality of magnetic strips B6 adapted to the movement trajectory of the upper arm pillow 2 are provided on the inclined surface. The magnetic properties of the magnetic strip A and the magnetic strip B6 are opposite.
[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, the cooperation of magnetic strip A and magnetic strip B6 can fix the abduction angle of the upper arm pillow 2. The magnetic strength of magnetic strip A and magnetic strip B6 allows medical staff to overcome it through external force, avoiding the need for professionals to reposition the body every time the affected limb moves, increasing the workload of medical staff, and fixing the placement position.
[0019] One end of the upper arm pillow 2 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate A7 and a connecting plate B8 which are arranged in parallel with each other. A connecting plate C10 is hinged between the connecting plate A7 and the connecting plate B8 through a rotating shaft 9. The connecting plate C10 is fixedly connected to one end of the forearm pillow 3. Limiting holes 11 are provided on the connecting plates A7, B8 and C10. There are several limiting holes 11 of the connecting plate C10 which are evenly distributed around the rotating shaft 9. The limiting holes 11 on the connecting plates A7 and B8 correspond to each other up and down. The connecting plates A7, B8 and C10 are fixed by limiting pins 12 arranged in the limiting holes 11. When the limiting holes 11 on the connecting plate C10 are rotated to a certain angle, they can correspond to the limiting holes 11 on the connecting plates A7 and B8 up and down, so as to facilitate the insertion of the limiting pins 12 for fixing.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the connecting plate C10 is rotated between the connecting plate A7 and the connecting plate B8 through the pin shaft 9. After adjusting the angle between the upper arm pillow 2 and the forearm pillow 3, it is fixed by the limit pin 12. According to the patient's condition, the forearm and upper arm of the affected limb can be maintained at a comfortable angle, so that the patient can relax as much as possible while maintaining the correct posture.
[0021] The upper arm pillow 2 and the forearm pillow 3 are both provided with a fixing belt 13, one end of the fixing belt 13 is fixed to one side of the groove 4, and the other end of the fixing belt 13 is fixed to the other side of the groove 4 by Velcro.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the fixing belt 13 is used to further fix the upper arm and forearm to improve the fixing effect.
[0023] The connecting plate A7 is provided with a protective cushion for supporting the elbow joint.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the protective pad is used to protect the elbow joint of the affected limb and improve the comfort at the elbow joint.
[0025] The outer periphery of the body pillow base 1 is wrapped with a cloth cover made of waterproof material.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the waterproof cloth cover can improve the cleaning and disinfection and facilitate reuse.
[0027] When in use, first determine the abduction angle of the affected limb and the angle between the forearm pillow 3 and the upper arm pillow 2. The patient after surgery is in a supine position, and the positioning pillow is placed on the affected limb so that the end of the positioning pillow base 1 close to the pin 5 is parallel to the patient's body. The patient's upper arm and forearm are both placed in the groove 4 and fixed by the fixing belt 13. The inclined height of the positioning pillow base 1 raises the affected limb. If the patient is in a posture for a long time and is relatively tired, the upper arm pillow 2 can be moved to abduct or adduct along the pin 5 and fixed by the magnetic strips A and B6 to change the abduction angle of the upper arm, so that the patient's arm can be supported, the anterior muscles of the upper limb can be kept relaxed, and the patient can be correctly placed and easily maintain the correct position after surgery. At the same time, by rotating the forearm pillow 4 and fixing it by the limit pin 12, the angle between the upper arm and the forearm can be changed, so that the forearm and the back arm can be kept at a comfortable angle, so that the patient can relax as much as possible while maintaining the correct posture.
[0028] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in similar ways, but they will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
