Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of midwifery medical appliances, and in particular relates to a squatting force assisting device. Background Art

[0002] Free-position delivery is under the premise that the pregnant woman and fetus are in good health. The pregnant woman can, under the professional guidance of the midwife, freely choose her favorite prenatal activities and delivery postures, such as squatting, standing, kneeling, prone, lying, sitting and other postures for delivery, so that the delivery method returns to the most natural state. Through the change of posture, it can also affect factors such as uterine contractions, labor force, birth canal, fetal position, and increase the pelvic outlet path, making the delivery process smoother.

[0003] The squatting position is to hold the edge of the bed or a chair with both hands and squat on the ground with both feet. When giving birth in the squatting position, squat in front of the horizontal bar of the delivery bed and hold the horizontal bar to provide support and protection. This method makes the abdominal pressure and the direction of uterine contraction consistent with the gravity of the fetus. In addition, the force applied in this position is consistent with the bowel habits. It is easier for mothers to master the skills and accelerate the delivery process. It is especially suitable for the second stage of labor.

[0004] The main disadvantage of squatting is that it is not easy for the mother to get up after squatting, and there is a lack of support tools. The mother cannot maintain this position for a long time. The supported squatting position can easily cause compression of the mother's popliteal nerves and blood vessels, affecting blood circulation and causing local compressive nerve disorders. The partner or doula who supports the mother is prone to fatigue. The inventor searched the patent literature and found that there are many chairs or handrails produced by the squatting position. Through searching and analyzing the patents, most squatting midwives are designed as auxiliary devices formed by the combination of chairs and handrails, and such auxiliary devices actually play a sitting state and cannot achieve the effect of squatting. Secondly, the squatting time cannot be too long. It is necessary to stand for a while after every 1 to 2 contractions. However, the existing ones hinder the mother from standing. If she turns to squatting again after standing, she needs the assistance of a caregiver or bed rails or pull ropes, or other ways to support the body. Pregnant women need to change postures repeatedly, and the squatting position of the chair structure affects the changes in the mother's posture. Summary of the invention

[0005] The utility model aims to design a squatting force assisting device, which is beneficial to the conversion of the posture of the parturient between the standing position and the squatting position. The parturient is provided with handrails in the squatting position, which is convenient for the parturient to maintain the squatting position.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0007] A squatting force assisting device comprises two left and right arc-shaped frames, an arc-shaped backrest is arranged between the two arc-shaped frames, an arc-shaped handrail is arranged on the arc-shaped frame, both ends of the arc-shaped handrail are connected to the arc-shaped frame, the arc-shaped handrail is connected to the top of the arc-shaped frame by a column, and an observation mirror is arranged between the bottoms of the left and right arc-shaped frames.

[0008] Furthermore, the arc-shaped back plate is provided with a plurality of massage protrusions, which can massage the back of the parturient.

[0009] Furthermore, a fixing pad is installed at the bottom of the arc-shaped frame to stabilize the device and prevent the device from sliding.

[0010] Furthermore, the observation mirror is connected to the fixing pad via connecting rods on both sides.

[0011] Furthermore, the auxiliary device is made of metal or plastic.

[0012] Furthermore, the arc-shaped frame and the arc-shaped handrails adopt circular tubes.

[0013] The following beneficial effects can be obtained through the above technical solution:

[0014] Compared with the existing chair-structured obstetric devices, the utility model does not adopt a chair-shaped structure, which is conducive to the mother's transition between standing and squatting positions. When in the squatting position, the mother can maintain the squatting position by contacting the armrests with both hands or arms.

[0015] The utility model has a simple overall structure, and the structural design meets the production needs in the squatting position. The gravity effect can be used to promote the descent of the fetal presenting part, widen the diameter between the ischial tuberosities, and thus widen the transverse diameter of the pelvic outlet. Due to the mechanical effect of the trunk compressing the uterine fundus, the squatting position caused by the structure is more conducive to the descent of the fetal head than other positions.

[0016] The utility model is suitable for the second stage of labor or at any time, has strong flexibility in use, and is highly satisfactory to parturient women. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a squatting force assisting device comprises two left and right arc-shaped frames 2, an arc-shaped backing plate 5 is arranged between the two arc-shaped frames 2, an arc-shaped handrail 1 is arranged on the arc-shaped frame 2, both ends of the arc-shaped handrail 1 are connected to the arc-shaped frame 2, the arc-shaped handrail 1 is connected to the top of the arc-shaped frame 2 through a column 7, and an observation mirror 4 is arranged between the bottoms of the left and right arc-shaped frames 2. The arc-shaped backing plate 5 is provided with a plurality of massage convex points 6. A fixing pad 3 is installed at the bottom of the arc-shaped frame 2.

[0024] The observation mirror 4 is connected to the fixing pad 3 through connecting rods on both sides. The auxiliary device is made of metal or plastic. The arc frame 2 and the arc handrail 1 are circular tubes. Example

[0025] The utility model can be arranged on the ground or on the bed, and can be used in the second stage of labor or at any time. As long as the parturient feels comfortable, the device can be used. Based on the above device, a new supporting squatting method is formed: the parturient leans against the arc-shaped backrest, and the protrusions on the backrest play a massage role. During uterine contraction, the parturient's armpits are placed on the bottom of the arc-shaped handrails, and then the parturient holds the arc-shaped handrails with both hands, so that the whole body of the parturient can be supported, and the parturient's body can be swayed left and right according to the situation. The squatting posture formed by the above auxiliary device can promote the descent of the fetal head under the action of gravity, increase the pelvic outlet plane, relieve waist and back pain, increase the free movement of the body, and increase the comfort of the parturient.

[0026] The above are all preferred implementations of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present invention, various equivalent modifications to the present invention belong to the protection scope of the claims attached to this application.
