Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical technology, and particularly relates to a position-limiting adjustment pillow for thyroid surgery. Background Art

[0002] Thyroidectomy requires the neck to be in an extended position to better expose the surgical field and facilitate the operation of the surgeon. However, if the position pillow is placed before the operation when the patient is awake, it will cause discomfort to the patient. If the position pillow is placed after anesthesia before the operation, it is more troublesome and requires the participation of the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and operating room nurse to place the position pillow well. The position of the convex arc of the existing airbag-type position pillow is fixed after inflation. Even if the pillow is placed under the patient before anesthesia, it is difficult to ensure that the patient's neck is exactly at the suitable position of the convex arc, and it cannot be well in the extended position of the neck, so the surgical field cannot be well exposed. Moreover, during the operation, the patient is in the extended position of the neck, and there is no fixed structure for the head. The head may swing to both sides when affected by external forces, affecting the progress of the operation.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to set up a pillow that can adjust the position of the convex arc of the pillow according to the patient's neck position and can prevent the head from turning. Content of the Utility Model

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0031] Specific embodiments, as shown in the figure, are a preferred implementation manner of the present utility model. A body position limiting and adjusting pillow for thyroid surgery mainly includes a base, an airbag, and an air pump 1. The airbag is detachably installed on the upper end surface of the base, and the airbag is detachably connected to the air pump 1. Convex blocks 16 are installed on both sides of the upper end surface of the base. A slide rail 18 is provided in the convex block 16. The length direction of the slide rail 18 is parallel to the length direction of the base. A limiting rod 14 is slidably connected in the slide rail 18. A clamping block 21 is provided at the lower end of the limiting rod 14. The clamping block 21 is clamped in the slide rail 18. Inlets 17 are provided at the outer ends of the slide rail 18. The clamping block 21 of the limiting rod 14 enters the slide rail 18 from the inlet 17. The upper end of the limiting rod 14 extends out of the slide rail 18. A fixing stud 15 is threadedly connected to the limiting rod 14. The lower end surface of the fixing stud 15 abuts against the upper end surface of the slide rail 18. A limiting plate 9 is installed at the upper end of the limiting rod 14. The surfaces of the two limiting plates 9 face each other. Concave openings 20 recessed inward are provided on both sides of the airbag in the length direction. The limiting rod 14 passes through the concave opening 20 and extends out of the airbag. The airbag is composed of an upper airbag and a lower airbag. The upper airbag is installed above the lower airbag. The lower airbag is a single airbag. The upper airbag is composed of a plurality of mutually isolated strip-shaped airbags 8. Adjacent two strip-shaped airbags 8 share a common airbag wall. The plurality of strip-shaped airbags 8 are all parallel to the length direction of the lower airbag. The lower airbag is communicated with the air pump 1 through a first air pipe 2. The upper airbag is communicated with the air pump 1 through a second air pipe 5. A plurality of branch pipes 6 are provided on the second air pipe 5. Each branch pipe 6 is communicated with the second air pipe 5. Each strip-shaped airbag 8 is connected to a branch pipe 6. One of the branch pipes 6 is communicated with the air pump 1. An air inlet valve 7 is installed on each branch pipe 6. An air outlet valve 13 is installed on each strip-shaped airbag 8 and the lower airbag.

[0032] Before the specific use of the utility model, prepare the disinfected base, airbag, and air pump 1. First, place the base at the head position of the operating bed, and then fix the lower airbag of the airbag on the base. Then use the air pump 1 to inflate the lower airbag through the first air pipe 2, so that the lower airbag expands. The scapula and head parts of the patient lie on the lower airbag. The inflation degree of the lower airbag can be further adjusted according to the weight of the patient. If the inflation volume is excessive, resulting in the lower airbag being too hard or too high, the air can be exhausted through the air outlet valve 13, so that the lower airbag contracts and becomes soft, enabling the lower airbag to support the patient and making the patient lie comfortably. After the patient lies down, anesthetize the patient, and then use the air pump 1 to inflate several strip-shaped airbags 8 located under the patient's neck through the second air pipe 5. Open the air inlet valve 7 on the branch pipe 6 corresponding to these strip-shaped airbags 8 to inflate. Since each strip-shaped airbag 8 is isolated from each other, the inflation degree of these strip-shaped airbags 8 can be adjusted according to the actual situation. If a certain strip-shaped airbag 8 is over-inflated, the gas inside can be discharged through the air outlet valve 13. Thus, while supporting the patient's neck by these strip-shaped airbags 8, the upper end surfaces of these strip-shaped airbags 8 form a convex arc structure that fits against the patient's neck, enabling the patient to be in a hyperextension position of the neck and better exposing the surgical field. Also, because two adjacent strip-shaped airbags 8 share a common airbag wall, these multiple strip-shaped airbags 8 are equivalent to a whole. When the patient's neck presses on these multiple strip-shaped airbags 8, the upper end surfaces of these multiple strip-shaped airbags 8 will not separate and can fit well with the patient's skin. After adjusting the strip-shaped airbags 8, insert the block 21 at the lower end of the limiting rod 14 into the slide rail 18 through the entrance 17 on the slide rail 18. The upper end of the limiting rod 14 extends outside the slide rail 18, and the upper end of the limiting rod 14 passes through the notch 20 of the airbag, so that the limiting plate 9 installed at the upper end of the limiting rod 14 is located above the airbag. Rotate the limiting rod 14 so that the two limiting plates 9 face the sides of the patient's head respectively. Move the limiting rod 14 so that the limiting plates 9 clamp on both sides of the patient's head, making it difficult for the patient's head to turn to both sides and affect the progress of the operation. Then rotate the fixing stud 15 so that the lower end surface of the fixing stud 15 abuts against the upper end surface of the slide rail 18, and clamp on the slide rail 18 through the block 21 and the fixing stud 15, so that the limiting rod 14 is fixed on the slide rail 18. Further, the length of the fixing stud 15 is greater than the height of the lower airbag after inflation, which is convenient for rotating the fixing stud 15. Further, the limiting rod 14 is a telescopic rod, which is convenient for adjusting the height of the limiting rod 14, so that the limiting plates 9 can clamp on both sides of the patient's head. Further, a soft cushion layer 10 is provided on the plate surface of the limiting plate 9. When the limiting plates 9 clamp on both sides of the patient's head, the soft cushion layer 10 can improve the comfort level.

[0033] Further, the base is composed of a left seat 4 and a right seat 11. The left seat 4 and the right seat 11 are hinged to form a storage box. After the airbag is contracted, it is stored in the storage box. The air pump 1 is installed on the side of the left seat 4 or the right seat 11, and the inflation nozzle of the air pump 1 faces inward, and this inward side refers to one side of the base. When the present utility model is not needed, the limiting rod 14 is removed from the base, the limiting rod 14 and the limiting plate 9 are placed in the storage box, and then the airbag is deflated through the air outlet valve 13, so that the airbag contracts. After folding the airbag, it is placed in the storage box for storage, and then taken together for disinfection treatment, and then stored in the storage box formed by the base, which can not only ensure the cleanliness of the airbag but also facilitate access. Further, the wall heights of the left seat 4 and the right seat 11 can be set according to actual situations. For example, the wall height is less than 2 cm, so that when the patient lies on the airbag, the height of the airbag is higher than the wall height of the base and will not press against the patient's scapula, which can improve the comfort level.

[0034] Further, the lower airbag is divided into a left airbag 3 and a right airbag 12. The lower ends of the left airbag 3 and the right airbag 12 are separated, and the upper ends of the left airbag 3 and the right airbag 12 are interconnected. The lower end of the left airbag 3 is placed in the left seat 4, and the lower end of the right airbag 12 is placed in the right seat 11. The left airbag 3 and the right airbag 12 are higher than the upper end surface of the base, so that the lower airbag can be well embedded in the left seat 4 and the right seat 11.

[0035] Further, the left seat 4 and the right seat 11 are fixed by a buckle to prevent the left seat 4 and the right seat 11 from being opened, resulting in the dropping or contamination of the airbag, the limiting rod 14, etc. placed inside. The buckle is a conventional structure and will not be described in detail here.

[0036] Further, magnets are provided on the upper end surfaces of the left seat 4 and the right seat 11, and the left seat 4 and the right seat 11 are fixed by magnetic attraction.

[0037] Further, a buckle 22 is installed inside the base, and a buckle seat 19 is installed on the lower end surface of the lower airbag. The buckle 22 and the buckle seat 19 are detachably connected, so that the airbag can be better fixed to the base and is not easy to move. The buckle 22 and the buckle seat 19 are common existing structures and will not be described in detail here.

[0038] Further, a pillowcase is sleeved outside the airbag. An observation port is provided on the pillowcase. The first air pipe 2 and the second air pipe 5 are located outside the pillowcase. The inner airbag is protected by the pillowcase, and the pillowcase is made of a skin-friendly material, which can improve the comfort level. The strip-shaped airbag 8 inside can be observed through the observation port, which is convenient for inflating the strip-shaped airbag 8 at the corresponding position.

[0039] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred and feasible embodiments of the present utility model. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present utility model. Any equivalent changes or modifications made under the technical spirit disclosed by the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the patent covered by the present utility model.
