Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a clinical joint protection device for rheumatology. Background Art

[0002] In the clinical treatment of rheumatology, joint protection devices play a vital role in the daily care and rehabilitation of patients. Currently, there are many joint protection devices used in rheumatology clinical treatment on the market, among which fixed knee pads, elbow pads and other devices are more common.

[0003] While these devices can protect joints to a certain extent and reduce damage from external impact, they generally suffer from poor flexibility, an inability to adjust height to suit the patient's specific needs, and inconvenience in folding and carrying. These limitations are particularly pronounced when patients need to perform activities at varying angles or travel long distances, severely impacting the patient experience and treatment outcomes. Utility Model Content

The length adjustment of the support rod is arranged on the first and second protective sleeves, and can be adjusted according to the patient's joint height to ensure that the best support effect can be provided at different joint positions, so that the patient can adjust the position of the device according to needs;

[0007] The movable hinge group includes an adjustment block, which is installed on the outside of the second protective cover. The inner side of the adjustment block is rotatably connected to a first lock buckle, and the inner side of the adjustment block is rotatably connected to a second lock buckle. A first gear is installed on the first lock buckle, and a second gear is provided on the second lock buckle. The first gear is engaged with the second gear. The setting of the movable hinge group enables the device to simulate the natural range of motion of human joints in multiple directions.

[0008] Preferably, the second protective cover is fixedly connected to the first gear via a first connecting rod, and the second gear is fixedly connected to the third protective cover via a second connecting rod.

[0009] Preferably, a fourth protective cover is provided at the bottom of the third protective cover, and the two fourth protective covers are hinged through a second connecting block. The first protective cover, the second protective cover, the third protective cover and the second connecting block are all made of lightweight and high-strength alloy materials, which can not only withstand a large load but also are light in weight, thereby reducing the discomfort of the patient when wearing the cover and facilitating the patient's daily use.

[0010] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes two mounting rings and an adjustment belt, and the adjustment assembly is respectively arranged on the outside of the first protective sleeve, the second protective sleeve, the third protective sleeve and the second connecting block.

[0011] Preferably, the inner sides of the first protective cover, the second protective cover, the third protective cover and the second connecting block are all bonded with breathable cotton pads. The breathable cotton pads are made of skin-friendly material with good air permeability.

[0012] Preferably, the adjustment strap is provided with a Velcro, and the Velcro is used for adjusting the position between the connecting straps.

[0013] In summary, this application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0014] 1. When using the device, the staff open all the Velcro, put the device on the injured joint from the sole of the foot, and then wrap the outside of the joint with the Velcro to complete the installation of the device. Since the length of each person's joints is different, the length of the support rod can be adjusted according to the patient's joint height to ensure that it can provide the best support effect at different joint positions, making it easier for patients to adjust the position of the device according to their needs and increasing the convenience of use. The device can be folded through the movable hinge group and the articulation at the joint, making it easier for staff to carry.

[0015] 2. The inner sides of the first protective cover, the second protective cover, the third protective cover and the second connecting block are all bonded with breathable cotton pads. The breathable cotton pads are made of skin-friendly material with good air permeability. The inner layer is provided with multiple micropores, which can effectively wick away sweat and heat, keeping the wearing area dry and comfortable. The padding layer avoids skin pressure and discomfort that may be caused by long-term wear; through the setting of the movable hinge group, the device can simulate the natural range of motion of human joints in multiple directions.
