[0037] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 , this embodiment provides an arm fixer 100, including a first brace 110, a second brace 120, a needle tube support 130 and a limit assembly 140;

[0038] The first brace 110 is hinged to the second brace 120, and the first brace 110 is used to fix the patient's upper arm, and the second brace 120 is used to fix the patient's forearm;

[0039] The needle tube support 130 is detachably connected to the first brace 110 and the second brace 120, and is located directly above the center of the elbow of the patient's upper limb. The needle tube support 130 is used to install and fix the injection tube and injection needle for injecting contrast medium;

[0040] The limiting assembly 140 is connected to the first bracket 110 and the second bracket 120 , and is used to limit the relative rotation between the first bracket 110 and the second bracket 120 .

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 , the working principle of the arm fixer 100 is:

[0042] The arm fixer 100 includes a first support 110, a second support 120, a needle tube support 130 and a limit assembly 140;

[0043] The first brace 110 and the second brace 120 are hinged, and the first brace 110 is used to fix the patient's upper arm, and the second brace 120 is used to fix the patient's forearm; the limiting component 140 is connected to the first brace 110 and the second brace 120, and is used to limit the relative rotation between the first brace 110 and the second brace 120; during use, the patient's upper limb can be fixed by the first brace 110 and the second brace 120, and during the fixation process, the first brace 110 and the second brace 120 can be adjusted to a bending angle adapted to the patient's upper limb through the relative rotation between the first brace 110 and the second brace 120, thereby improving the comfort of upper limb fixation, and the relative angle between the first brace 110 and the second brace 120 can be maintained by the limiting component 140, thereby ensuring that the fixed state of the upper limb remains unchanged;

[0044] At the same time, since the needle tube holder 130 is detachably connected to the first brace 110 and the second brace 120, and is located directly above the center of the elbow of the patient's upper limb, the needle tube holder 130 is used to install and fix the injection tube and injection needle for injecting contrast medium; since the insertion position of the injection needle is located at the center of the elbow of the upper limb, the arm fixer 100 can fix the injection needle and injection tube for injecting contrast medium through the needle tube holder 130, thereby maintaining the position of injecting contrast medium;

[0045] In summary, the arm fixator 100 can fix the patient's upper limbs and prevent the patient's upper limbs from bending, thereby preventing the injection needle and the injection tube from changing position or deforming, thereby preventing the vascular injection needle from breaking or changing position, puncturing the blood vessel and affecting the injection of the contrast agent, thereby ensuring the normal injection of the contrast agent, thereby ensuring the normal progress of the CT enhanced examination and protecting the patient.

[0046] For further information, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 In this embodiment, when configuring the first brace 110, the first brace 110 includes a first bottom plate 111, a first fixing plate 112 and a first connecting belt 113, the first fixing plate 112 is connected to the first bottom plate 111, the first connecting belt 113 is detachably connected to the first fixing plate 112, and the first connecting belt 113 is used to press the upper arm placed on the first fixing plate 112;

[0047] When configuring the second brace 120, the second brace 120 includes a second base plate 121, a second fixing plate 122 and a second connecting belt 123. The second fixing plate 122 is connected to the second base plate 121, the second connecting belt 123 is detachably connected to the second fixing plate 122, and the second connecting belt 123 is used to press the forearm placed on the second fixing plate 122.

[0048] Thus, the above structure can be used to place the upper arm and the forearm on the first fixing plate 112 and the second fixing plate 122 respectively, and the first connecting belt 113 and the second connecting belt 123 can be used to fix the patient's upper limbs to prevent the upper limbs from bending.

[0049] Moreover, in order to improve the comfort of the patient during the process of fixing the patient's upper limb, the first brace 110 further includes a first pressure pad 114, and the first brace 110 is configured with a plurality of first connecting belts 113, the plurality of first connecting belts 113 are all connected to the first pressure pad 114, and are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the first brace 110; the second brace 120 further includes a second pressure pad 124, and the second brace 120 is configured with a plurality of second connecting belts 123, the plurality of second connecting belts 123 are all connected to the second pressure pad 124, and are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the second brace 120.

[0050] Through the above-mentioned structural setting, in the process of fixing the patient's upper limb, the contact area with the patient's upper arm and forearm can be increased through the deformation of the first pressure pad 114 and the second pressure pad 124, thereby reducing the discomfort caused to the patient by the first connecting belt 113 and the second connecting belt 123. In addition, in order to improve air permeability, the sides of the first fixing plate 112 and the second fixing plate 122 are provided with a hollow portion 101. In addition, in order to improve comfort, the arm fixer 100 also includes a first airbag cushion connected to the first fixing plate 112 and a second airbag cushion connected to the second fixing plate 122, so that the contact area with the patient is increased through the setting of the first airbag cushion and the second airbag cushion, thereby reducing the discomfort caused to the patient when the first connecting belt 113 and the second connecting belt 123 press the upper arm and forearm on the first fixing plate 112 and the second fixing plate 122. In addition, when configuring the first airbag cushion and the second airbag cushion, multiple air guide columns can also be configured on their structure to increase air permeability.

[0051] It should also be noted that, based on the above structure, this embodiment adopts a hinged connection between the first base plate 111 and the second base plate 121, and through the arrangement of the first base plate 111 and the second base plate 121, it is convenient to connect the arm fixer 100 with the external structure. At the same time, the limiting component 140 adopts a connection method with the first base plate 111 and the second base plate 121.

[0052] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the limiting assembly 140 includes a limiting rod 141, a limiting pin 142, a limiting member 143 and a rotating member 144; the limiting rod 141 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 110, and the limiting rod 141 is provided with a strip hole 145 along its extension direction; the limiting pin 142 is connected to the second bracket 120 and is slidably matched with the strip hole 145, the limiting member 143 is sleeved on the limiting pin 142, and the rotating member 144 is threadedly connected to the limiting pin 142 and abuts against the limiting member 143; wherein the rotating member 144 is used to rotate relative to the limiting pin 142 under the action of an external force, so as to drive the limiting member 143 to move in the direction of pressing the limiting rod 141 or in the opposite direction.

[0053] It can be understood that the limiting rod 141 of the limiting assembly 140 is rotatably connected to the first base plate 111, and the limiting pin 142 is connected to the second base plate 121. Therefore, during use, the rotating member 144 can be rotated to adjust the abutment state between the limiting member 143 and the limiting rod 141, thereby adjusting the rotation state of the first bracket 110 and the second bracket 120.

[0054] When the first brace 110 and the second brace 120 are in a locked state, the rotating member 144 presses the limiting member 143 against the limiting rod 141, thereby limiting the sliding of the limiting pin 142 relative to the strip hole 145, thereby limiting the relative rotation between the first brace 110 and the second brace 120; and when the first brace 110 and the second brace 120 are in an unlocked state, the rotating member 144 is in a relaxed state, and the limiting member 143 is not pressed against the limiting rod 141, therefore, the limiting pin 142 can slide relative to the strip hole 145, thereby allowing the first brace 110 and the second brace 120 to rotate relatively to adapt to the curvature of the patient's upper limb.

[0055] On the basis of the above structure, in order to improve the stability in the locked state, a plurality of limiting teeth 146 engaging with the limiting member 143 are provided on the side of the limiting rod 141, and the limiting teeth 146 are sequentially arranged along the extending direction of the strip hole 145 and are located on one side of the strip hole 145. That is, the limiting member 143 limits the sliding of the limiting pin 142 relative to the strip hole 145 by engaging with the limiting teeth 146, thereby improving its stability in the locked state.

[0056] For further information, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 In this embodiment, when the syringe support 130 is set, it may include a support plate 131, a third connecting belt 132, a fourth connecting belt 133 and at least one fifth connecting belt 134; the third connecting belt 132 is connected to the support plate 131 and is detachably connected to the first support 110; the fourth connecting belt 133 is connected to the support plate 131 and is detachably connected to the second support 120; the fifth connecting belt 134 is connected to the support plate 131 and is used to bind the injection tube and the injection needle.

[0057] With such a setting, the support plate 131 can be connected to the top of the center of the patient's elbow through the third connecting belt 132 and the fourth connecting belt 133, and the injection tube and the injection needle can be tied through the fifth connecting belt 134, thereby fixing the injection tube and the injection needle.

[0058] During use, in order to enable the support plate 131 to be located above the center of the patient's elbow, the connection between the fifth connection belt 134 and the support plate 131 is located between the connection between the third connection belt 132 and the support plate 131 and the connection between the fourth connection belt 133 and the support plate 131. In addition, in order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the injection tube and the injection needle, the third connection belt 132 is bonded to the first support 110 through a Velcro, and the fourth connection belt 133 is bonded to the second support 120 through a Velcro.

[0059] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
