DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The embodiments described below are only some embodiments of the utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] See also Figure 1 to Figure 5 The present embodiment provides an adjustable brace for spinal surgery, comprising a brace body 1, wherein both ends of the surface of one side of the brace body 1 are respectively provided with an elastic band 2, and an adjustable supporting device 3 is provided on the brace body 1, and the adjustable supporting device 3 comprises a sliding sleeve 31, a supporting support plate 32 and an adjusting component 33, wherein the sliding sleeve 31 is slidably sleeved on the brace body 1, and the sliding sleeve 31 is located on one side of the elastic band 2 and is detachably provided with the supporting support plate 32, and the adjusting component 33 is arranged between the brace body 1 and the sliding sleeve 31, and is used for tightening and adjusting the installation position of the sliding sleeve 31, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the supporting support plate 32.

[0024] See also Figure 4 as well as Figure 5Specifically, the adjustment assembly 33 includes a positioning slider 331 and an adjustment bolt 334. The positioning slider 331 is slidably arranged on one side of the brace body 1 away from the support plate 32 and the other side is in contact with the sliding sleeve 31. The middle part of the positioning slider 331 and the sliding sleeve 31 are respectively provided with a first threaded hole 333 in opposite positions. The adjustment bolt 334 is detachably connected with the first threaded hole 333. When in use, the adjustment bolt 334 is screwed into the first threaded hole 333 on the sliding sleeve 31 and then penetrates into the first threaded hole 333 in the middle part of the positioning slider 331. Then, during the process of screwing in the adjustment bolt 334, the end of the adjustment bolt 334 penetrates out of the first threaded hole 333 in the middle part of the positioning slider 331 and is in contact with the brace body 1, thereby fixing the position of the sliding sleeve 31 through the extrusion force. When the position of the sliding sleeve 31 needs to be adjusted, the adjustment bolt 334 is loosened, adjusted to a suitable position, and then tightened.

[0025] See also Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 In order to better adjust the position of the sliding sleeve 31, a sliding groove 332 is provided on a side of the brace body 1 away from the supporting plate 32, and the positioning slider 331 is slidably located in the sliding groove 332. The positioning slider 331 can slide smoothly in the sliding groove 332 to avoid displacement or tilting during sliding, further improving the convenience and accuracy of adjusting the sliding sleeve 31.

[0026] See also Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 Preferably, the support plate 32 comprises an arc surface 321 and a vertical surface 322 connected to the arc surface 321, a groove 323 is recessed on one side of the vertical surface 322 toward the arc surface 321, and the groove 323 has a relative horizontal surface and a connecting surface connected to the pair of horizontal surfaces, wherein a fixing rod 45 is provided on one of the horizontal surfaces extending toward one side of the other horizontal surface, and a slot 44 adapted to the fixing rod 45 is provided on the sliding sleeve 31. It should be noted that the setting of the arc surface 321 in the present application can adapt to the physiological curvature of the human spine and improve the comfort of the user. The fixing rod 45 and the slot 44 on the sliding sleeve 31 cooperate with each other, so that the support plate 32 can be easily fixed on the sliding sleeve 31, and it is also more convenient to disassemble, which increases the convenience and accuracy of adjustment, so that the user can choose a support plate 32 of a suitable size for installation and use.

[0027] See also Figure 4 as well as Figure 5Furthermore, there are two fixing rods 45, and the two fixing rods 45 are symmetrically arranged. The fixing rods 45 can stably fix the support plate 32, reduce the probability of shaking of the support plate 32, and facilitate the normal use of the brace.

[0028] See also Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 Preferably, a pair of opposite second threaded holes 42 are provided in the middle of the support plate 32 and on the side of the sleeve 31 close to the support plate 32, and a fastening bolt 41 is detachably provided in the pair of second threaded holes 42. The user inserts the fixing rod 45 on the support plate 32 into the slot 44 of the sleeve 31, and then screws the fastening bolt 41 into the second threaded hole 42 of the support plate 32 and the sleeve 31, thereby completing the assembly of the support plate 32. The raised portion of the fastening bolt 41 will extend into the receiving hole 43 provided on the side of the support plate 32 away from the sleeve 31, thereby hiding the fastening bolt 41, and the receiving hole 43 is connected to the second threaded hole 42. The above-mentioned structural arrangement makes the installation of the support plate 32 more flexible and convenient, and can be quickly adjusted and replaced as needed, providing great convenience and operability for the user.

[0029] Preferably, the elastic strap 2 includes a Velcro or an adjustment buckle, so that wearing and adjusting the strap is simpler and faster, and the user only needs to press lightly or adjust the buckle to complete the fixation.

[0030] Preferably, a support cushion is provided on a side of the support plate 32 away from the sliding sleeve 31, which provides a soft cushioning effect, thereby reducing the friction and pressure on the contact part with the body and reducing the discomfort caused by long-term wearing.

[0031] The utility model provides an adjustable spinal surgery brace, comprising a brace body 1, with elastic straps 2 provided at both ends of the surface of one side of the brace body 1, and an adjustable support device 3 provided on the brace body 1, wherein the adjustable support device 3 comprises a sleeve 31, a support plate 32 and an adjustment assembly 33. When in use, a suitable support plate 32 is selected and installed on the sleeve 31, and then the brace is worn on the human body through the elastic strap 2, and then the position of the support plate 32 is adjusted through the adjustment assembly 33, so that the user's appropriate support position is reached and tightened. Therefore, the adjustable spinal surgery brace can be flexibly adjusted according to the individual differences and treatment needs of the patient, ensuring the accuracy and comfort of the support position, helping to improve posture, relieve pain, and promote the smooth progress of the rehabilitation process.

[0032] The above disclosures are only several preferred embodiments of the present invention, which certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention are still within the scope covered by the present invention.
