[0002] A thoracolumbar fixation brace generally refers to an external device worn by patients after spinal fractures or spinal fixation surgery to limit the range of spinal motion and promote bone fusion. After lumbar surgery, patients must wear a thoracolumbar brace to support their thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, help them get up, facilitate their daily activities, and provide auxiliary corrective treatment for their lumbar and thoracic vertebrae after surgery.

[0003] The patent document with authorization announcement number CN218922923U discloses a thoracolumbar fixation brace, including a back brace, a connecting ear is rotatably provided on the back side of the back brace near the left and right edges, a spring expansion belt is fixed on the connecting ear, a buckle is installed on the spring expansion belt near the left side of the back brace, and a chest brace is provided on the front side of the back brace, and a slot matching the buckle is fixed on the chest brace near the left edge.

[0004] The prior art and the above-mentioned devices have the following deficiencies: the current fixed braces are all two rigid supporting parts, and the different protruding heights of the chest and abdomen of the patient cause the chest to be too tight or too loose, resulting in poor support effect and easily causing obstruction of the patient's breathing process, posing a hidden danger to the patient's recovery. At the same time, since patients often wear braces for a long time after surgery, the surgical incisions and some of the patient's own wounds are recovering at the same time, and swelling and deswelling will occur during the recovery process. However, the existing fixed braces cannot be adjusted at a separate location according to the swelling and deswelling of the wound, resulting in the brace being loosened from the patient due to the natural recovery of the wound site, which hinders the recovery of the thoracic and lumbar spine.

[0033] The first valve 107 in the figure is a conventional air valve, which is opened by the pressure of the air pump when inflated, and is closed automatically when not inflated to prevent gas loss. The specific structure is not described in detail in this embodiment;

[0034] When the present embodiment is working, the patient's torso is supported by the front chest support plate 101 and the back support plate 201 respectively. During support, the first upper support airbag 102, the second upper support airbag 103, the first lower support airbag 104, the second lower support airbag 105 and the third lower support airbag 106 are filled with filling gas of corresponding volume and pressure. A conventional air pump can be used for inflation, or other existing technologies can be used for inflation, which will not be described in detail in the present embodiment, so as to keep the front chest support plate 101 and the back support plate 201 parallel to each other, so that the places between the two are used to fix the brace on the patient's body. The restraining force is evenly distributed on the brace to avoid excessive restraint in a single area, thereby preventing the patient from experiencing abdominal constriction or chest squeezing and breathing difficulties. At the same time, the first upper support airbag 102, the second upper support airbag 103, the first lower support airbag 104, the second lower support airbag 105 and the third lower support airbag 106 correspond to various areas on the front side of the patient's torso, and can make rapid and appropriate adaptive adjustments according to the changes in the protrusion degree of various areas of the patient, and can keep the entire brace firmly restrained on the patient, so as to achieve both adaptive adjustment and stable restraint support.

[0035] The first upper support airbag 102 and the second upper support airbag 103 and the first lower support airbag 104, the second lower support airbag 105 and the third lower support airbag 106 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the side of the front chest support plate 101, the first upper support airbag 102 and the second upper support airbag 103 are arranged symmetrically, and the first upper support airbag 102 corresponds to the right chest, the second upper support airbag 103 corresponds to the left chest, the second lower support airbag 105 is arranged between the first lower support airbag 104 and the third lower support airbag 106, the first lower support airbag 104 corresponds to the right abdomen, the second lower support airbag 105 corresponds to the navel, and The third lower support airbag 106 corresponds to the left abdomen, the first valve 107 penetrates the front chest support plate 101 and is fixedly connected thereto, gaps are provided between the first upper support airbag 102, the second upper support airbag 103, the first lower support airbag 104, the second lower support airbag 105 and the third lower support airbag 106, a plurality of heat dissipation mesh holes 108 evenly distributed in an array are provided on the front chest support plate 101, and the heat dissipation mesh holes 108 are centrally arranged at the gaps between the first upper support airbag 102, the second upper support airbag 103, the first lower support airbag 104, the second lower support airbag 105 and the third lower support airbag 106;

At the same time, when there are wounds on both sides of the patient's chest and both sides of the abdomen that need to be recovered, the filling gas at the corresponding position can be sucked according to the position to create a cavity for the recovery of the wound to avoid affecting the recovery. When the patient's torso is restrained, the external air flow can flow on the body surface through the gap to avoid the patient's skin rashes and other discomfort. At the same time, the heat dissipation mesh 108 further enhances the elimination of discomfort, and by filling and deflating each area at intervals in turn, the patient can restore the skin of each area in turn, which can not only prolong the wearing time and promote the recovery of the thoracic and lumbar spine, but also avoid the patient's skin discomfort, which is more conducive to the patient's recovery.

[0037] A first shunt pipe 202 is embedded and installed on the top of the back support plate 201, and a second shunt pipe 205 is embedded and installed on the bottom of the back support plate 201. A plurality of pairs of first linear airbags 203 and second linear airbags 204 are provided between the first shunt pipe 202 and the second shunt pipe 205 and on the side of the back support plate 201 close to the front chest support plate 101. The first shunt pipe 202 and the first linear airbag 203 are interconnected, and the second shunt pipe 205 and the second linear airbag 204 are interconnected. The first linear airbag 203 and the second linear airbag 204 are of equal width and are evenly spaced. The first shunt pipe 202 and the second shunt pipe 205 are independently provided with second valves 206 and are independently inflated and deflated.

[0038] When the present embodiment is working, when the patient wears the back support plate 201, the first shunt tube 202 and the second shunt tube 205 are inflated synchronously, so that the first linear airbag 203 and the second linear airbag 204 are filled with sufficient gas to support the patient's back, and the softness and low pressure of the airbags are used to avoid compression on the patient's skin. When wearing the plate, the first shunt tube 202 and the second shunt tube 205 can be inflated and deflated alternately as needed, so that the first linear airbag 203 and the second linear airbag 204 are inflated and deflated alternately, thereby maintaining the tightness and time of the restraint and promoting the recovery of the thoracic and lumbar spine, and further reducing the pressure on the patient's back skin, so that the patient's back skin can rest in turn, thereby improving the patient's recovery effect and avoiding the occurrence of discomfort.

[0039] A plurality of strap buckles 301 are hinged on one side of the front chest support plate 101 away from the back support plate 201, and a plurality of strap support seats 302 are hinged on one side of the back support plate 201 away from the front chest support plate 101. One end of the strap support seat 302 is fixedly connected to an elastic strap 303, and one end of the elastic strap 303 close to the front chest support plate 101 is fixedly connected to a Velcro patch 304. The elastic strap 303 is away from the front chest support plate 101. An attachment layer 305 is sewn on one side of the plate 101 and the back support plate 201, and the attachment layer 305 is attached to the Velcro patch 304 accordingly. The elastic strap 303 is wound around the strap buckle 301, and an airbag cushion is installed on one side of the elastic strap 303 close to the front chest support plate 101 and the back support plate 201. The attachment layer 305 covers various areas of the elastic strap 303, and the attachment layer 305 is equidistantly divided into a number of sections.

[0040] When the present embodiment is in operation, when the front chest support plate 101 and the back support plate 201 are restrained and worn, the brace can be quickly put on and taken off by quickly separating and engaging the strap buckle 301, thereby improving work efficiency. The elastic strap 303 is wrapped around the strap buckle 301, thereby flexibly adjusting the stretch of the elastic strap 303 to adapt to the fatness or thinness of different patients. The attachment layer 305 is evenly divided into several sections and the attachment layer 305 is correspondingly attached to the Velcro 304. The Velcro 304 is quickly bonded for quick binding, and can adapt to the elasticity of the elastic strap 303 for stretching and contraction, so that the front chest support plate 101 and the back support plate 201 can be supported dynamically to avoid obstruction to the patient's hand and shoulder movements.

[0041] When the utility model is in use, the first upper support airbag 102, the second upper support airbag 103, the first lower support airbag 104, the second lower support airbag 105 and the third lower support airbag 106 are filled with filling gas of corresponding volume and pressure, so as to keep the front chest support plate 101 and the back support plate 201 parallel to each other, so that the binding force for fixing the brace on the patient is evenly distributed between the two, avoiding the phenomenon of excessive binding force in a single area.

[0042] When working, the first upper support airbag 102, the second upper support airbag 103, the first lower support airbag 104, the second lower support airbag 105 and the third lower support airbag 106 correspond to various areas of the front side of the patient's torso, and can make rapid and appropriate adaptive adjustments according to the changes in the protrusion degree of various areas of the patient, and can keep the entire brace firmly bound to the patient, so as to achieve both adaptive adjustment and stable binding support;

[0043] When restraining the patient's trunk, the gap allows external airflow to flow on the body surface, avoiding discomfort such as rashes on the patient's skin. At the same time, the heat dissipation mesh 108 further enhances the elimination of discomfort, and the air is inflated and deflated in turn in each area at intervals, so that the patient can recover the skin in each area in turn, which can not only prolong the wearing time and promote the recovery of the thoracic and lumbar spine, but also avoid discomfort on the patient's skin, which is more conducive to the patient's recovery.

[0044] During operation, the first shunt tube 202 and the second shunt tube 205 are inflated synchronously, so that the first linear airbag 203 and the second linear airbag 204 are filled with sufficient gas to support the patient's back, and the softness and low pressure of the airbags are used to avoid compressing the patient's skin. When worn, the first shunt tube 202 and the second shunt tube 205 can be inflated and deflated alternately as needed, so that the first linear airbag 203 and the second linear airbag 204 are inflated and deflated alternately, thereby maintaining the tightness and binding time of the restraint and promoting the recovery of the thoracic and lumbar spine, and further reducing the pressure on the patient's back skin, so that the patient's back skin can rest alternately, thereby improving the patient's recovery effect and avoiding the occurrence of discomfort.

[0045] During work, the brace can be quickly put on and taken off through the quick separation and engagement of the strap buckle 301, thereby improving work efficiency. The elastic strap 303 is wrapped around the strap buckle 301 to flexibly adjust the stretch of the elastic strap 303 to adapt to the fatness or thinness of different patients. The attachment layer 305 is evenly divided into several sections and the attachment layer 305 is correspondingly attached to the Velcro 304. The Velcro 304 is quickly bonded for quick binding, and can adapt to the elasticity of the elastic strap 303 for stretching and contraction, so that the front chest support plate 101 and the back support plate 201 can perform follow-up support to avoid obstruction to the patient's hand and shoulder movements.
