Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a high-applicability body position pillow. Background Art
[0002] Shoulder joint subluxation, also known as irregular shoulder, usually refers to the glide of the humeral head under the glenoid cavity, with an obvious depression appearing between the acromion and the humeral head. Due to neurological dysfunction, stroke patients have problems with the nerve innervation of the whole body muscles, which leads to muscle atrophy and muscle dysfunction. In the shoulder joint, it is manifested as the atrophy of the deltoid muscle around the shoulder joint, the atrophy of the scapular muscle, and the relaxation of the shoulder joint. Eventually, it will cause shoulder joint subluxation, manifested as the humeral head and the glenoid cavity of the shoulder joint not being on the same horizontal plane. Generally, the humeral head displaces distally. In the late stage of the disease, severe shoulder pain combined with limited shoulder joint movement may occur. Keeping the correct position of the scapula for stroke patients is an important measure for early prevention of shoulder joint subluxation.
[0003] The Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN213994043U discloses a multifunctional body position pillow for hemiplegic patients, including an upper limb pillow for fixing the upper limb and a lower limb pillow for fixing the lower limb. The upper limb pillow includes an arm pillow and a shoulder pillow. An arm placement groove and a palm placement groove that communicate with each other are opened in the arm pillow. One end of the arm placement groove far from the palm placement groove penetrates through the arm pillow and is connected to the shoulder pillow. A plurality of arm straps are arranged on the arm placement groove, and palm straps are arranged on the palm placement groove. A shoulder placement groove is arranged in the middle of the shoulder pillow, and a plurality of shoulder straps are arranged on the shoulder placement groove.
[0004] The height, inclination and radian of the placement groove of the above body position pillow are fixed. However, the arm lengths and the heights of the shoulders from the bed board of different patients are different. The above placement grooves cannot be applicable to different patients and cannot provide correct and effective support for different patients. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention provides a high-applicability body position pillow to solve the problem that the body position pillow in the prior art cannot be applicable to patients with different body types.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] A high-applicability body position pillow includes a container. The container includes a deformable surface formed by a top surface and a side surface in contact with the limb. The deformable surface is made of a deformable material, and a shaping and fixing body is contained in the container.
[0008] Preferably, the container further includes a fixing surface formed by a bottom surface and a side surface away from the human body.
[0009] Preferably, the material of the deformable surface is rubber or silica gel.
[0010] Preferably, the shaping and fixing body is asphalt or plaster.
[0011] Preferably, the shaping and fixing body is paraffin wax, and a heating device corresponding to the melting point of the paraffin wax is arranged inside the container.
[0012] Preferably, the heating device is a PTC constant temperature heating device, and the PTC constant temperature heating device is arranged at the bottom of the shaping and fixing body along a serpentine path.
[0013] Preferably, a cooling device is also arranged inside the container.
[0014] Preferably, the cooling device includes a blower, a cooling pipe and an air outlet. The blower is arranged on one side of the fixing surface, the air outlet is arranged on the side of the fixing surface away from the blower, and the cooling pipe passes through the shaping and fixing body along a serpentine shape and is connected to the blower and the air outlet at both ends respectively.
[0015] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the container is an "L" shape corresponding to the shapes of the human upper limb and shoulder, and the connection between the upper limb and shoulder corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the container is connected with an arc transition.
[0016] Preferably, a comfort layer is sleeved outside the container.
[0017] Advantages of the present invention:
[0018] 1. The shaping and fixing body inside the device of the present utility model can shape and then fix the limbs of patients with different body types. Different patients correspond to different inclination angles and support heights, accurately position and place the limbs, and provide personalized support, ensuring that the humeral heads of different patients are in a healthy position.
[0019] 2. The comfort layer uses memory foam to evenly distribute the surface pressure, improve the comfort of patients during use, and has the function of reducing pressure sores.
[0020] 3. The present utility model slightly raises one side of the outer side of the patient's arm while keeping the inner side relatively lower. Such a design not only prevents the shoulder joint from slipping backward when lying flat, but also avoids its excessive outward expansion. At the same time, it ensures that the patient's hand can be naturally placed on it and the entire arm is lifted as much as possible. This not only helps prevent shoulder joint subluxation, but also prevents shoulder-hand syndrome and the resulting hand edema, providing more comprehensive protection for patients.

[0025] The attached drawings are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as a limitation on this patent; for better illustration of this embodiment, some components in the attached drawings will be omitted, enlarged or reduced, which does not represent the size of the actual product; for those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the attached drawings may be omitted. Specific embodiments
[0026] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the attached drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0027] As Figures 1-4 shown, a highly adaptable body pillow includes a container 1. The container 1 includes a deformable surface 11 formed by the top surface and the side surface in contact with the limb, and a fixed surface 12 formed by the bottom surface and the side surface away from the limb. The deformable surface 11 is made of a material that is easy to deform. In this embodiment, the deformable surface is made of rubber material. It can be understood that the deformable material can be other materials with the same function such as silica gel.
[0028] The container 1 is filled with a shaping and fixing body. In this embodiment, the shaping and fixing body is paraffin 2 with a melting point of 45°.
[0029] A heating device and a cooling device 4 are provided inside the container. The heating device 3 is arranged along a serpentine path on the inner bottom surface of the container 1. In this embodiment, the heating device is a PTC constant temperature heating device 3 with a constant temperature of 45°; the cooling device 4 includes a fan 41, a cooling pipe 42 and an air outlet 43. The fan 41 is fixed on the side of the container, the air outlet 43 is arranged on the side away from the fan, and the cooling pipe 42 passes through the shaping and fixing body along a serpentine path and is respectively connected to the fan 41 and the air outlet 43 at both ends.
[0030] A comfort layer 5 is sleeved outside the container 1. In this embodiment, the material of the comfort layer is memory foam.
[0031] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:
[0032] Turn on the PTC constant temperature heating device. After the paraffin wax 2 softens, place the patient's limb on the comfort layer 5. The comfort layer 5 has a certain heat insulation effect to ensure the comfort of the human body. At this time, the paraffin wax 2 inside the container 1 has softened, and the paraffin wax 2 can deform correspondingly according to the position of the patient's limb, thus having a shaping function. The deformation surface 11 is also prone to generate corresponding deformations according to the limb shape. Then, the medical staff adjusts the angle and height of the patient's limb, making the outer side of the arm slightly elevated and the inner side relatively lower. Such a design aims to prevent the shoulder joint from slipping backward when lying flat and avoid its excessive outward expansion. At the same time, it ensures that the patient's hand can be placed naturally on it and the entire arm is lifted as much as possible. This not only helps prevent shoulder joint subluxation but also prevents shoulder-hand syndrome and the resulting hand edema, providing more comprehensive protection for the patient. A placement groove 6 corresponding to the limb is formed on the container, and an arc surface 7 adapted to the limb is formed on the side. After adjusting the patient's limb, keep the shape of the patient's limb unchanged, turn on the blower 41 to cool down. After the paraffin wax 2 cools below the melting point and hardens, it has the function of supporting the patient's limb, and the patient's limb can be released. At this time, the device has held the patient's limb in a suitable position and has the function of adapting to patients of different body types; at the same time, the memory foam can evenly distribute the surface pressure, achieving the effect of reducing pressure sores.
[0033] Example Two:
[0034] The difference between this example and Example One is that the shaping and fixing body is asphalt with a low softening point. The asphalt with a low softening point softens when heated for shaping and hardens after cooling to fix the limb shape.
[0035] Example Three:
[0036] In this example, the shaping and fixing body is gypsum. The powdery gypsum is shaped, and the gypsum hardens after drying when it meets water, having the effect of fixing the limb shape. When choosing gypsum as the shaping and fixing body, a water filling port needs to be set on the container, and there is no need to set a heating device and a cooling device in the container.
[0037] The above examples are only used to illustrate rather than limit the technical solutions of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above examples, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: the present invention can still be modified or equivalently replaced, and any modification or partial replacement without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
