Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical nursing equipment, and particularly relates to a multifunctional nursing appliance for preventing foot drop. Background Art

[0002] Foot drop is a common complication for patients in coma, paralysis, with lower limb dysfunction, or long-term bedridden. Therefore, preventing foot drop is crucial for the patient's recovery and ability to take care of themselves. Moreover, for long-term bedridden patients in the ICU, due to the impact of the disease, their physical activities are restricted, and the risk of deep vein thrombosis increases. Currently, because the occurrence of venous thromboembolic diseases is latent and easily overlooked, when a patient needs to be immobilized, deep vein thrombosis will progress rapidly, increasing the risk of serious complications such as pulmonary embolism for the patient and increasing the risk of death. During nursing care, since the patient cannot move, the feet naturally drop. To keep the patient's feet in a functional position, various types of cushion pillows are traditionally used or the patient wears a T-shaped shoe. The nursing work is cumbersome, and wearing a T-shaped shoe can easily cause pressure sores and discomfort on the patient's heel, and it is also not easy to keep the patient's feet in a neutral position. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] To solve the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a multifunctional nursing appliance for preventing foot drop, which solves the above technical problems.

[0004] To achieve the purpose of the utility model, the following technical solutions are adopted: A multifunctional nursing appliance for preventing foot drop, including a protective cover, a base, and a foot plate. The protective cover is in an "L"-shaped hollow shape with both ends open; a base is arranged inside the protective cover; the upper part of the base is concave; one end of the base is vertically provided with a foot plate; on one side surface of the foot plate corresponding to the toe position, there are a plurality of inflatable rings; below the plurality of inflatable rings, an air cushion A is embedded; on both sides of the concave part of the base, an air cushion B is respectively embedded; in the middle position of the concave part of the base, an air cushion C is embedded; the inflatable rings and the air cushion A are connected to a controller through an air charging pipe a; the air cushion B and the air cushion C are connected to the controller through an air charging pipe b; both the air charging pipe a and the air charging pipe b extend out from one end of the base; the controller is buckled on the outer side of the protective cover by a fixing structure.

[0005] Further, a zipper is arranged on the upper part of the surface of the protective cover; one end of the zipper is connected with a lock head; the zipper and the lock head are used in cooperation.

[0006] Further, the fixing structure is composed of a clamping plate and a buckling plate; sliding grooves are respectively arranged on both sides of the clamping plate; the clamping plate is fixedly installed on the outer side of one end of the protective cover; the buckling plate is in an "I"-shaped shape; the short side of the buckling plate is used in cooperation with the sliding groove of the clamping plate.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0008] The design of this multifunctional nursing appliance for preventing foot drop significantly improves the nursing effect and comfort of the patient's feet. The "L"-shaped hollow protective cover design not only effectively protects the legs and feet but also maintains air circulation and reduces bacterial growth. The concave design of the base fits the leg curve, providing stable support and reducing leg pressure. The inflatable ring and air cushion A on the footboard can perform local massage on the toes to promote blood circulation. The settings of air cushion B and air cushion C provide uniform support for both sides of the leg and the popliteal fossa to prevent foot drop. The connection method of the inflatable tube and the controller makes the inflation and deflation operations more convenient, and the patient can adjust according to their needs. Overall, this nursing appliance has comprehensive functions and is easy to operate, with a significant effect on preventing foot drop, which helps to improve the patient's quality of life.

Detailed Implementation Modes

[0013] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model:

[0014] Such as Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, a multifunctional nursing device for preventing foot drop includes a protective cover 1, a base 2, and a foot plate 3. The protective cover 1 is in an "L"-shaped hollow form with open ends at both ends, which can not only effectively protect the legs and feet but also keep the air flowing and reduce the growth of bacteria. The base 2 is arranged inside the protective cover 1. The upper part of the base 2 is concave. One end of the base 2 is vertically provided with a foot plate 3. A plurality of inflatable rings 4 are arranged on one side of the foot plate 3 corresponding to the toe positions, which can be inflated and deflated under the control of a controller to perform local massage on the toes and promote blood circulation. An air cushion A5 is embedded below the plurality of inflatable rings 4, which can be inflated and deflated under the control of the controller 10 to effectively achieve dorsiflexion of the foot. Air cushions B6 are respectively embedded on both sides of the concave part of the base 2. An air cushion C7 is embedded in the middle position of the concave part of the base 2. The air cushions B6 and C7 are inflated and deflated under the control of the controller 10 to effectively press the legs and popliteal fossa to relieve leg pressure. The inflatable rings 4 and the air cushion A5 are connected to the controller 10 through an air charging pipe a8. The air cushions B8 and C7 are connected to the controller 10 through an air charging pipe b9. Both the air charging pipe a8 and the air charging pipe b9 extend from one end of the base 2. The controller 10 is buckled on the outside of the protective cover 1 by a fixing structure, which is convenient for medical staff or patients to conveniently pick up and control.

[0015] Specifically, a zipper 11 is arranged on the upper part of the surface of the protective cover 1. One end of the zipper 11 is connected with a lock 12. The zipper 11 and the lock 12 are used in cooperation to facilitate the patient to put the leg into the device and play a role in keeping warm.

[0016] Specifically, the fixing structure is composed of a clamping plate 13 and a buckling plate 14. Sliding grooves are respectively arranged on both sides of the clamping plate 13. The clamping plate 13 is fixedly installed on the outside of one end of the protective cover 1. The buckling plate 14 is in an "I" shape. The short side of the buckling plate 14 is used in cooperation with the sliding groove of the clamping plate 13.

[0017] During use, open the zipper 11 of the protective cover 1 to expose enough space for the leg to be smoothly put in. Ensure that the positions of the inflatable rings 4 on the foot plate 3 correspond to the toes one by one, the sole of the foot is placed on the air cushion A5 correspondingly, and the concave part of the base 2 fits the leg. Then, buckle the controller 10 on the outside of the protective cover 1 through the fixing structure (clamping plate 13 and buckling plate 14) to ensure that the controller is stable and not easy to fall off. The patient or medical staff can control the inflation and deflation of the inflatable rings 4, the air cushion A5, the air cushions B6, and the air cushion C7 through the controller 10. The inflatable rings 4 can perform local massage on the toes to promote blood circulation. The air cushion A5 can effectively achieve dorsiflexion of the foot, while the air cushions B6 and C7 can effectively press the legs and popliteal fossa to relieve leg pressure. During the inflation and deflation process, the inflation degree and frequency can be adjusted according to personal comfort.

[0018] The above are only the preferred specific embodiments of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution and its improved concept of the present utility model, making equivalent replacements or changes should be covered by the protection scope of the present utility model.
