Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field related to medical devices, and in particular to a fixing device suitable for radiotherapy of lower limb tumors. Background Art

[0002] During the whole radiotherapy process, patients undergoing precision radiotherapy usually need to undergo about 25 radiotherapy sessions. To ensure the comfort and repeatability of the patient's position during each treatment, as well as the feasibility of the incident angle design of the radiotherapy plan, the fixation of lower limb tumor radiotherapy is particularly important. For patients with lower limb tumors, due to the specific location and rarity of their tumors, there are currently few commercial lower limb-based radiotherapy fixation devices in clinical use. Foam glue, vacuum pads, T-shoes and other fixation devices are often used to fix the lower limbs in clinical practice. However, such fixation devices are not specifically designed for patients undergoing radiotherapy for lower limb tumors, and there are problems such as uncomfortable fixed positions and poor repeatability during use.

[0003] The utility model patent with publication number CN213964849U discloses a positioning and fixing device for radiotherapy of lower limb tumors, including a base, a pad, a motor, a screw, a sleeve, a pillar, a first support plate, a limit groove, a mounting plate, a fastening screw, a second support plate, a sliding rod, a connecting rod, a groove, a support plate, a limit hole, a bolt, a third support plate, a strap and Velcro.

[0004] The prior art preliminarily fixes the patient's foot and leg through the movable first support plate and the cooperation between the second support plate and the third support plate. The straps and Velcro provided on the top of the first support plate can well fix the patient's foot again. The tightening screws make the mounting plate more secure. The motor drives the screw rod to rotate, so that the sleeve can drive the first support plate at the top of the pillar to move horizontally. The cooperation between the bolts and the limiting holes on the third support plate and the support plate enables the third support plate to be positioned and moved horizontally to meet the needs of different groups of people. However, the following problems still exist:
