Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a medical device, and more particularly to a supporting device for patients undergoing calf bone removal. Background Art

[0002] Bone transport is a method of using the principle of stretching distraction osteogenesis to fix the proximal and distal ends of the bone defect into one piece with the aid of a special external fixator, and then transport the free broken bone ends to the bone defect. During the process of osteogenesis, new bone tissue will grow at the joint.

[0003] The calf bone transfer is a bone transfer operation performed at the calf position. The external frame includes a plurality of metal rings arranged horizontally and a plurality of metal connecting rods arranged longitudinally; the metal rings are arranged around the calf; the metal connecting rods are arranged in the direction in which the calf extends. The metal connecting rods connect the multiple metal rings. Due to the external frame, ordinary support pads cannot support the calf. Since the ankle is suspended in the air, foot drop is likely to occur. In addition, the calf muscles are suspended in the air for a long time, and are affected by gravity, which is also prone to edema. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present application aims to provide a support device for patients undergoing calf bone removal, which can support the calf through an external frame.

[0005] The support device for a patient with calf bone transfer of the present application comprises: a base, a support pad;

[0006] The base comprises: a bottom plate, a side plate, and a pedal; the bottom plate is formed horizontally; the side plate is formed on both sides of the bottom plate and extends upward; the pedal is formed on the right side of the bottom plate and extends upward; the pedal is used to support the sole of the subject's foot;

[0007] The support pad is made of a flexible material, is arranged on the base plate along the length direction of the base plate, and is clamped between the side plates on the front and rear sides; a first groove corresponding to the shape of the calf is formed on the support pad along the length direction of the support pad to accommodate and support the lower side of the subject's calf; a second groove is further formed in the first groove along the length direction of the support pad, and the second groove is used to accommodate the corresponding longitudinal metal connecting rod of the external frame installed on the subject's calf; a plurality of third grooves are further formed in the first groove perpendicular to the length direction of the support pad, and the third grooves are used to accommodate the corresponding transverse metal rings of the external frame installed on the subject's calf.

[0008] Preferably, the third groove is a through groove, whereby the support pad is divided into a plurality of discrete support sub-pads.

[0009] Preferably, the height of the side panels is less than the height of the support pads.

[0010] Preferably, the top end of the side plate exceeds three quarters of the height of the support pad.

[0011] The support device for patients with calf bone movement of the present application forms transverse and longitudinal grooves on the support pad, so that the support pad can pass through the transverse metal ring and longitudinal metal connecting rod of the external frame through these grooves, thereby entering the external frame to support the calf; the support device for patients with calf bone movement of the present application, the pedal can provide effective support for the sole of the foot to avoid foot drop.

[0020] The supported device for patients with calf bone transfer applied for will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] The support device for patients undergoing calf bone removal of the present application includes: a base 10 and a support pad 20 .

[0022] The base 10 includes: a bottom plate 11, a side plate 12, and a pedal 13; the bottom plate 11 is formed horizontally; the side plates 12 are formed on the front and rear sides of the bottom plate 11 and extend upward; the pedal 13 is formed on the right side of the bottom plate 11 and extends upward; the pedal 13 is used to support the sole of the subject to prevent foot drop.

[0023] The support pad 20 is made of a flexible material, such as memory foam or jelly gel with an outer surface peritoneum, and is disposed on the bottom plate 11 along the length direction of the bottom plate 11 and clamped between the side plates 12 on the front and rear sides.

[0024] A first groove 22 corresponding to the shape of the calf is formed on the support pad 20 along the length direction to accommodate and support the lower side of the subject's calf. A second groove 23 is further formed in the first groove along the length direction of the support pad 20, and the second groove 23 is used to accommodate the corresponding longitudinal metal connecting rod of the external frame installed on the subject's calf; and a plurality of third grooves 24 are further formed in the first groove 22 perpendicular to the length direction of the support pad, and the third grooves 24 are used to accommodate the corresponding transverse metal rings of the external frame installed on the subject's calf.

[0025] If the third groove 24 is not through, the support pad 20 is a whole. If the third groove 24 is through, the support pad 20 is divided into a plurality of separate support sub-pads 21 .

[0026] Since the material of the support pad is relatively soft, it is blocked and restricted in the front and rear directions by the front and rear side panels; the height of the side panel 12 is less than the height of the support pad 20; but the top of the side panel 12 is preferably above three quarters of the height of the support pad 20.

[0027] When in use, the metal ring and the metal connecting rod of the external frame of the subject's operated limb are placed on the device of the present application corresponding to the second groove and the third groove of the support pad. The metal ring and the metal connecting rod are sunk into the grooves, and the calf muscles inside the metal ring and the metal connecting rod are supported by the support pad; the sole of the foot is supported by the pedal, and foot drop will not occur.
