Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of patient clothing, in particular to an effort-saving turning clothing for patients. Background Art

[0002] In the modern medical environment, for patients with limited mobility, regular turning over is one of the important nursing measures to prevent bedsores, promote blood circulation and maintain muscle activity. Especially for patients who have been bedridden for a long time, such as patients who cannot take care of themselves, hemiplegic patients, and critically ill patients, they are unable to turn over by themselves due to serious illness or limited physical function, which increases the difficulty of nursing. This group of patients have difficulty turning over by themselves, not only because of the limitation of their physical mobility, but also because of pain, body weight or other medical equipment limitations, making it difficult for them to complete this action that is very critical to maintaining basic physiological health.

[0003] Due to this demand, medical staff often need to intervene to help patients turn over regularly. However, the current turning methods face many challenges. First, due to the structure of conventional patient gowns, it is difficult for medical staff to exert force on patients. Therefore, manual turning over is a huge physical burden for medical staff, especially for heavier patients. Even with the assistance of experienced medical staff, the turning process is often laborious and inefficient. In addition, frequent turning over consumes a lot of medical resources, which is particularly prominent when there is a shortage of staff. For medical staff, long-term assistance to patients turning over can easily cause occupational diseases such as back pain, affecting their work status and health.

[0004] For patients, comfort during the turning process is also an issue that cannot be ignored. Unreasonable or rough turning methods may cause patients to feel pain, discomfort, and even aggravate existing health problems. In addition, turning over for too long not only increases the physical burden on patients, but may also affect their psychological state, causing anxiety, depression and other emotional problems. Therefore, how to effectively and safely help patients with limited mobility turn over has become one of the urgent problems to be solved in the field of medical care.

[0005] From a broader perspective, with the acceleration of population aging and the advancement of medical technology, the number of long-term bedridden patients is expected to continue to grow. This means that the above-mentioned nursing difficulties and resource pressures will become major challenges facing the healthcare system in the future. Therefore, finding more efficient and humane turning assistance methods is not only related to the direct well-being of patients, but also to the sustainable development of the entire medical system.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0019] Compared with the traditional method of lifting the patient up by arms or by hand, the turning garment of the present invention has obvious advantages.

[0020] (I) Labor-saving and comfortable: The labor-saving turning suit of the utility model only needs to operate the lifting wing, so medical staff do not need to directly touch the patient's body to support or lift the patient, nor do they need to bend over to help the patient, so it is more labor-saving. The use of the labor-saving turning suit can evenly distribute the patient's own weight on the left and right lifting wing, which can reduce the burden on medical staff, increase the comfort of patients, and alleviate the pain of patients.

[0021] (ii) Convenient and fast: Since the lifting sheet wing is integrated into the vest body, it avoids the disadvantage of temporarily inserting a lifting sheet under the patient during routine turning operations, making the whole process more convenient and quick. Medical staff only need to hold the handle to help the patient easily turn over or transfer, which greatly improves the efficiency of nursing work.

[0022] (III) Convenient and safe application of force: Since a handle is provided on the front side of the single-piece lifting wing, medical staff can not only apply force more easily, but also ensure the stability of their grip during the operation, effectively avoiding the risk of slipping out of the hand and ensuring the safety of patients and medical staff.

[0023] (IV) Convenient to wear: The side openings on both sides of the vest body and the shoulder openings are innovative and practical designs, aiming to simplify the dressing process and reduce the inconvenience of patients and caregivers during the dressing process.

[0024] (V) Strengthened structure: The strengthened connecting piece connects the left and right single-wing pieces, which not only improves the strength of the vest body from a structural point of view, but also plays a role in sharing force in actual use.

[0025] (VI) Hand restraints: The hand restraints on the chest of the vest are designed to ensure the safety of the patient while also taking into account their comfort. The hand restraints allow medical staff to secure the patient's hands when necessary, thereby preventing them from accidentally hurting themselves or interfering with the treatment process. Moreover, both the left and right hand restraints are tilted, which is not only conducive to a more natural and comfortable fixation of the patient's hands, but also adapts to patients of different body shapes and needs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] The specific implementation of the utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

[0027] Figure 1 This is one of the three-dimensional structural schematic diagrams of the utility model;

[0028] Figure 2 This is the second schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0030] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 The innovative patient labor-saving turning garment design shown in the figure aims to improve the efficiency and safety of turning or transferring patients during medical care, while reducing the physical burden of medical staff and improving the comfort of patients. The turning garment is composed of a vest body 1, and is characterized in that a single-lifting wing 2 is provided on each of its left and right sides, and the two single-lifting wings 2 are integrally connected to the vest body 1, and a handle belt 21 for easy grip is installed on the front side of these wings.

[0031] In detail, the left and right sides of the back of the vest body 1 extend outward (the width of the left and right wings 2 is 5cm-20cm, and the length is the same as or slightly less than the length of the two sides of the vest body 1), playing a role similar to that of a single-sheet lifter, forming a support point when turning over. The design of the left and right wings 2 takes into account the distribution of the patient's weight and the convenience of operation of medical staff, so that when turning over or transferring the patient, the medical staff can easily grab the handle 21 from both sides or one side to assist the patient in turning over or transferring, effectively reducing the force required to directly lift the patient.

[0032] Compared with the traditional method of holding or supporting the patient, this type of turning suit has obvious advantages.

[0033] 1) Labor saving: the labor-saving turning garment of the utility model only needs to operate the single wing 2, so the medical staff does not need to directly touch the patient's body to support or lift the patient, nor does they need to bend over to help the patient, thus saving more labor.

[0034] 2) Comfort: The use of the energy-saving turning suit can evenly distribute the patient's own weight on the left and right single-wing pieces 2, which can reduce the burden on medical staff and increase the patient's comfort and alleviate the patient's pain.

[0035] 3) Convenient and quick: Since the sheet lifting wing 2 is integrated on the vest body 1, it avoids the disadvantage of temporarily inserting a sheet under the patient during the conventional turning operation, making the whole process more convenient and quick. Medical staff only need to hold the handle to help the patient easily turn over or transfer, which greatly improves the efficiency of nursing work.

[0036] 4) High degree of freedom: The integrated design of the lifting wing 2 and the vest body 1 will not hinder the patient's normal activities, that is, they will not interfere with the patient's normal activities when not in use, ensuring the patient's comfort and freedom when wearing the turning suit.

[0037] 5) Convenient and safe application of force: Since the handle strap 21 is provided on the lifting wing 2, medical staff can not only apply force more easily, but also ensure the stability of the grip of medical staff during the operation, effectively avoid the risk of slipping out of the hand, and ensure the safety of patients and medical staff.

[0038] It is worth noting that both ends of the handle strap 21 are fixed on the front surface of the single-lift wing 2. This is to improve the appearance and provide a certain concealing effect; secondly, it is to avoid protruding to the left and right sides, thereby avoiding affecting the patient's daily activities.

[0039] Preferably, the energy-saving turning garment is made of anti-skid and anti-wrinkle fabric material, and the same applies to the single-lifting wing 2. First of all, the use of anti-skid fabric greatly increases the safety of the turning garment. When the patient is transferred or turned over, the anti-skid property can effectively prevent the patient from sliding inside the turning garment, reducing the risk of falling due to instability. Secondly, the use of anti-wrinkle fabric ensures that the turning garment can maintain a good appearance and performance after long-term use. The anti-wrinkle property means that the turning garment is not prone to wrinkles even after multiple washings and long-term use, which helps to maintain its structural integrity and support, ensuring a smooth turning or transfer process. In addition, the anti-wrinkle fabric can also provide greater comfort and reduce the risk of skin irritation or pressure sores that patients may develop due to prolonged contact with the same position.

[0040] More specifically, the left and right sides of the vest body 1 are both provided with side openings 11, and a plurality of first connecting members 3 for opening and closing the side openings 11. The first connecting members 3 are preferably Velcro straps or button structures.

[0041] In the utility model, the side openings 11 on both sides of the vest body 1 are an innovative and practical design, which aims to simplify the dressing process and reduce the inconvenience of patients and caregivers during the dressing process. Through the design of the side openings 11, the vest can be easily unfolded or wrapped around the patient's body without the patient having to make a large movement, which can greatly reduce the discomfort and potential risks of patients with limited mobility when dressing.

[0042] More specifically, a crotch strap 4 is provided at the hem of the vest body 1 , one end of the crotch strap 4 is connected to one side of the hem of the vest body 1 , and the other end of the crotch strap 4 is detachably connected to the other side of the hem of the vest body 1 .

[0043] The detachable connection here is preferably a Velcro connection or a buckle connection. Such a design allows the crotch strap 4 to be easily fixed or adjusted. The Velcro connection provides great convenience and flexibility, allowing the tightness of the crotch strap 4 to be quickly adjusted, which is very suitable for scenarios that require frequent adjustments. The buckle connection provides a more stable fixing effect, which is suitable for those situations where the crotch strap needs to be fixed for a long time.

[0044] In the utility model, the crotch strap 4 not only increases the functionality of the vest, but also improves the stability and comfort when worn. The design of the crotch strap 4 mainly has two functions. First, it strengthens the connection between the front and back of the vest body 1, which is particularly important when lifting the single wing 2 to turn over. By fixing the crotch strap 4, it is effectively avoided that excessive force is applied to the vest body 1 during the turning over process, resulting in damage to the vest or accidental pulling of the first connecting member 3 (such as Velcro or a button). Secondly, the crotch strap 4 can also maintain the position of the vest body 1 by tightening it when turning over, preventing it from sliding up during the movement, thereby reducing the patient's discomfort and the adjustment burden of the nursing staff.

[0045] By using the crotch belt 4, the overall structure of the vest becomes more stable during turning over and daily wear, thereby improving the wearing comfort and safety.

[0046] More specifically, the shoulder straps (shoulder) of the vest body 1 are provided with a shoulder opening 12 and a second connecting member 5 for opening and closing the shoulder opening 12. The second connecting member 5 is preferably a Velcro strap or a button structure.

[0047] This corresponds to the design concept of the side opening 11. The design of the shoulder opening 12 is intended to further improve the convenience of patients wearing and taking off the vest, which is particularly important for patients with limited mobility or who need to change clothes frequently.

[0048] Specifically, as for the setting of the shoulder opening, the vest body 1 is only provided with a shoulder opening 12 at the left shoulder strap, while there is no corresponding opening design at the right shoulder strap. This design choice is based on two considerations: first, a single-sided shoulder opening is sufficient to meet the needs of dressing, which can effectively simplify the dressing process and reduce the adjustment of the patient's body, thereby reducing the discomfort or risk caused to the patient when dressing. Secondly, avoiding the practice of providing openings on both shoulder straps is out of consideration for enhancing the overall structural stability and durability of the vest body 1. If both the left and right shoulder straps are provided with openings, the connection strength between the front and back of the vest may be reduced, increasing the risk of the front and back being completely separated during use, especially when it is necessary to turn the body over or move the patient, this design consideration is particularly important.

[0049] More specifically, the back of the vest body 1 is provided with a reinforcing connecting piece 6 connecting the left and right lifting single wing pieces 2. In the design of the vest body 1, the reinforcing connecting piece 6 on the back plays a vital role. The reinforcing connecting piece 6 connects the left and right lifting single wing pieces 2, which not only improves the strength of the vest body 1 in terms of structure, but also plays a role in sharing force in actual use, which is particularly important for nursing staff when moving or turning over patients with limited mobility.

[0050] The material and design of the reinforcing connecting piece 6 must ensure sufficient toughness and durability, because when turning over or moving a patient, the vest will be subjected to considerable tension. Through such a reinforced design, the pressure on each part of the vest is effectively dispersed, thereby reducing the wear or damage caused by excessive force on a single part. For example, when a nursing staff uses the single-lifting wing 2 to help a patient turn over, the reinforcing connecting piece 6 can effectively disperse the force, reduce damage to the vest body 1, and extend the service life.

[0051] In addition to structural strength considerations, the reinforcing connecting piece 6 also increases the overall stability of the vest body. When the patient moves in bed or performs physical therapy activities, the reinforcing connecting piece 6 can ensure that the vest body 1 remains in a proper position, reduce clothing dislocation caused by movement, and improve the patient's comfort and sense of security when wearing it.

[0052] More specifically, a hand restraint strap 7 for restraining the patient's hands is provided at the chest position of the vest body 1, one end of the hand restraint strap 7 is fixedly connected to the front side of the vest body 1, and the other end of the hand restraint strap 7 is detachably connected to the front side of the vest body 1.

[0053] The hand restraints 7 at the chest of the vest body 1 are intended to ensure the safety of the patient while also taking into account their comfort. The provision of the hand restraints 7 allows medical personnel to fix the patient's hands when necessary, thereby preventing them from accidentally hurting themselves or interfering with the treatment process.

[0054] One end of the hand restraint 7 is fixedly connected to the front side of the vest body 1, while the other end is detachable, which provides additional flexibility and convenience. The detachable end is preferably connected by Velcro or buckle, both of which allow medical staff to quickly and easily adjust the restraint to suit the needs of different patients while ensuring sufficient safety and stability.

[0055] In particular, the hand restraints 7 on the chest are divided into two, left and right, which are respectively arranged at the left and right chest positions of the vest body 1. This distribution is of great significance for fixing the patient's hands, and the position of the hands can be flexibly adjusted according to the patient's specific situation and comfort. Moreover, the left and right hand restraints 7 are both inclined: the left restraint is toward the lower right position, and the right restraint is toward the lower left position. This inclined setting is not only conducive to fixing the patient's hands more naturally and comfortably, but also can adapt to patients of different body shapes and needs.
