Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to an adjustable breast bracket for radiotherapy. Background Art

[0002] Radiation therapy is a treatment method that uses high-energy radiation, such as X-rays or other forms of ionizing radiation, to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing and dividing. In the breast cancer treatment room, the patient lies on the treatment bed and raises or moves their hands outward to avoid compressing the breast.

[0003] Publication number CN212651240U retrieved discloses a breast support for radiotherapy, which relates to the field of medical device technology. By relatively fixing the patient's hands, the distortion of the body is reduced, and the displacement of the irradiated part is avoided, thereby achieving precise treatment of the affected part and reducing damage to normal parts. The specific scheme is: comprising a horizontal bed, the horizontal bed is provided with a head groove and two chest grooves, and the horizontal bed is provided with two hand positioning rods at one end close to the head groove. The hand positioning rods are closer to the end of the horizontal bed relative to the head groove. The horizontal bed is provided with a sliding track for the movement of the hand positioning rods, and the two hand positioning rods move synchronously in the same direction relative to the center point of the sliding track. The breast support for radiotherapy provided by the utility model effectively prevents the patient from twisting the body due to the asynchronous swinging of the hands by synchronously driving the arms to move, thereby improving the treatment effect. The breast support for radiotherapy can be used for patients of different body shapes and has a wider range of applications.

[0004] This patented technology has significant advantages when used. However, when the patient lies flat on his back with his hands raised backward, there is a gap between his arms and the bed. The arms hanging in the air will cause soreness, numbness and fatigue, which will make him uncomfortable during the treatment. Therefore, we propose an adjustable breast support for radiotherapy to solve the existing problem. Utility Model Content
