Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of orthopedic instruments, in particular to an auricle orthosis with adjustable size. Background Art
[0002] Auricular orthosis is a device that corrects ear deformities in newborns through non-invasive, physical correction methods. Auricular orthosis usually includes ear support fixing devices, traction devices, concha correctors and other components. It uses methods such as pulling, squeezing, and supporting to correct the ear deformities by taking advantage of the good extensibility and easy shaping of the cartilage of the early newborn auricle.
[0003] The Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN219184363U disclosed an auricle orthosis on 2023-06-16, including a base, a cover, a traction device and a first adhesive sticker; the base includes a first base and a second base; the first base has an arc-shaped contour, and the first base and the second base are detachably connected by a plug-in connector; the first base is provided with a female slot; the cover is provided with a sub-plug that cooperates with the female slot; a plurality of positioning grooves are also provided on the inner side of the first base; the traction device includes a traction device body and a positioning foot for cooperating with the positioning groove; the positioning foot is connected to the traction device body, and the first adhesive sticker is provided on the first base.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned disclosed solutions have the following disadvantages: since the ears of newborns are of different sizes, auricular orthoses of different sizes are often required, and thus auricular orthoses are often divided into large and small sizes. Smaller ears are matched with small auricular orthoses, and slightly larger ears can wear large auricular orthoses. Since the physical correction of deformed ears of newborns takes a long time, it usually takes 1-2 months to wear them. As the newborns grow up, their ears will gradually become larger. At this time, the original orthosis may no longer be suitable, but it is impossible to replace it with a larger orthosis in time, which increases the economic cost on the one hand and delays the treatment of auricular deformity on the other hand. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to solve the problem that due to the different ear sizes of newborns, different sizes of auricle orthoses are often needed, so auricle orthoses are often divided into large and small sizes. Smaller ears are matched with small auricle orthoses, and slightly larger ears can wear large auricle orthoses. Since the physical correction of deformed ears of newborns takes a long time, it often needs to be worn for 1-2 months. As the newborns grow up, their ears will gradually become larger. At this time, the original orthosis may no longer be suitable, but it is impossible to replace it with a larger orthosis in time, which increases the economic cost on the one hand and delays the treatment of auricle deformity on the other hand. Provided is an auricle orthosis with adjustable size.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] The size-adjustable auricle orthosis of the utility model comprises an ear cover, an inner ear seat and an outer ear seat; the inner ear seat and the outer ear seat are detachably fixed to the ear cover; a plurality of weight-reducing and breathable grooves and deformation avoidance cuts are provided on the ear cover; the inner side surface of the ear cover contacts with a first tractor; the first tractor is buckled on the ear helix; an orthopedic groove is provided on the upper surface of the first tractor; a first clamping groove is provided on the lower surface of the first tractor; the inner ear seat and the outer ear seat are bonded to the skin around the ear.
[0008] Furthermore, the ear cover is provided with a plurality of weight-reducing grooves; a first buckle is fixedly connected in the weight-reducing groove; the first buckle is inserted into a double pair of slots; the double pair of slots are located in the inner ear seat; a first groove is provided in the inner ear seat; a dense-toothed tooth is fixedly connected to the inner ear seat; an avoidance slot is provided in the dense-toothed tooth; a dense-toothed slot is sleeved on the dense-toothed tooth; the dense-toothed slot is located in the outer ear seat; a second groove is provided on the outer ear seat; a molding belt is fixedly connected in the outer ear seat; a post-ear former is bonded to the molding belt.
[0009] Furthermore, a second tractor is bonded to the ear cover; a concha correction film is bonded to the ear cover; a correction protrusion is fixed to the concha correction film; and a deformation groove is provided in the correction protrusion.
[0010] Furthermore, a third tractor is bonded to the ear cover; a deformation avoidance groove is provided on the third tractor; an auricle correction piece is bonded to the ear cover; a second slot is provided in the auricle correction piece; and a plastic piece is inserted in the second slot and the first slot.
[0011] Furthermore, a fourth tractor is bonded to the ear cover; and a deformation avoidance groove is provided on the fourth tractor.
[0012] Furthermore, the post-ear former is made of polyurethane; the width of the post-ear former is smaller than the width of the molding belt, and the height is lower than the height difference between the external ear seat and the molding belt.
[0013] The size-adjustable auricle orthosis provided by the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. The utility model forms the whole of the orthosis through the ear cover, the inner ear seat and the outer ear seat, and then can be fixed on the skin around the ear root by medical tape, and then the hidden ear that needs to be corrected is pulled out by the first tractor, and the first tractor can also be used to squeeze the monkey ear and the elf ear for correction. Different situations are treated differently and fixed by medical tape. The sharp angles on both sides of the edge of the hook piece at the top of the curved hook should be rounded to form a round chamfer shape, and the round chamfer radius is greater than one millimeter to avoid the edge of the hook piece being too sharp to get stuck in the skin and cause damage, thereby completing the shaping of the auricle, and then the inner ear seat and the outer ear seat are covered The auricle and the first traction device cooperate with the adhesive tape to adhere the skin around the ear for fixed correction. The first traction devices of different sizes can be replaced to adapt to auricles of different sizes. At the same time, when the size of the ear cover, the inner ear seat and the outer ear seat can be adjusted, the ears of different sizes can be further adapted for correction, so that the use time is long and the application range is wide; through the deformation avoidance incision, the first groove and the second groove, it can be deformed into different shapes to adapt to different auricles, solving the problem that the existing auricle corrector of a single size cannot adapt to the changing auricle;
