[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical care equipment, in particular to a diabetic foot wound care instrument. Background Art

[0002] Diabetic foot is a foot complication of many diabetic patients caused by sensory neuropathy and mild autonomic and motor neuropathy, which often causes local ulceration and infection of the foot. The treatment of diabetic foot infection requires careful wound treatment, regular cleaning of the wound, and washing the feet with mild clean water or medicated solution every day.

[0003] In order to promote the absorption of the medicine, a patent document with the announcement number CN204446975U discloses a care device for diabetic foot wounds. An ultrasonic source is arranged in the care machine, and the vibration of the ultrasonic source acts on the medicine to produce a cavitation effect, thereby generating acoustic cavitation bubbles that collapse to produce microjets, making the active components of the medicine easier to be absorbed by the foot wound, thereby improving the quality effect.

[0004] However, there are still some problems when using the above patents:

[0005] When washing feet, patients put their feet into the cavity of the care machine with the soles of the feet in contact with the cavity. If the patient's feet are severely ulcerated and unable to support themselves, the patient needs to suspend their feet by themselves or have others help them suspend their feet, which will make the patient very uncomfortable. Moreover, the closer to the bottom, the denser the oscillating bubbles generated by the ultrasonic source, and the stronger the stimulation caused by touching the surface of the foot, which may cause a tingling sensation in the patient.

[0006] To this end, the utility model provides a diabetic foot wound nursing instrument, which makes the patient more comfortable in ultrasonic foot bath. Utility Model Content
