Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical supplies, in particular to a neck-shoulder integrated turning pillow. Background Art

[0002] Patients who need to stay in bed for extended periods after cervical spondylosis surgery, cervical fractures, or spinal cord injuries should have their head and neck immobilized to prevent aggravation of cervical spine injury and secondary injury. These patients also need to be turned daily to reduce pressure on the skin and prevent the development of pressure sores. In clinical practice, medical staff are required to turn bedridden patients every 2 to 4 hours and, if necessary, allow them to lie on their side for half an hour.

[0003] The utility model patent with patent application publication number CN206044206U discloses a cervical pillow, including a left-side pillow, a pillow main body, and a right-side pillow. When the patient lies on his back, the head lies on the pillow main body, which can achieve head and neck braking and support the neck. However, when lying on his side, the patient's head is cushioned on the left or right pillow, and there are no other support parts at the back of the head and neck, which cannot restrict the patient's movements. This means that the patient can only maintain the correct posture under the care of medical staff to ensure that the head, neck, shoulders and spine are in a straight line when lying on the side. It is impossible to lie on the side for a long time. In order to ensure the correct posture, the patient can only lie on the bed vertically on his side. If the patient is allowed to lie on an angle, it is very likely that the spine will bend, causing secondary injury. Utility Model Content

[0022] The principles and features of the present invention are described below. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0023] As shown in the accompanying drawings, this embodiment provides a neck and shoulder integrated turning pillow, including a pillow body 1 and a support pillow 2. The pillow body 1 is provided with a pillow area 3, a side pillow area 4, a neck pillow area 5 and a side-lying neck pillow area 6. The pillow area 3 and the neck pillow area 5 are arranged along the central axis of the pillow body 1, and the side pillow areas 4 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the pillow area 3. The side-lying neck pillow areas 6 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the neck pillow area 5. The height of the neck pillow area 5 is greater than the height of the pillow area 3, the height of the side-lying neck pillow area 6 is greater than the height of the side pillow area, and the height of the side-lying neck pillow area 6 is greater than the height of the neck pillow area 5; the support pillow 2 includes an inclined surface 8 for supporting the head and a straight surface 9 for braking the head and neck; the support pillow 2 is fixed to the side pillow area 4 of the pillow body 1, the straight surface 9 is located on the side close to the pillow area 3, and the inclined surface 8 is located on the side away from the pillow area 3.

[0024] When the patient lies supine, the head rests on pillow area 3 and the cervical spine rests on cervical pillow area 5. Cervical pillow area 5 is higher than pillow area 3. The different heights of the different areas conform to the physiological curve of the human cervical spine, ensuring safety and comfort. The straight surface 9 of the support pillow 2, fixed to the pillow body 1, and the side pillow area 4 at the junction of the heel pillow area 3 both serve to immobilize the patient's head and neck, limiting unconscious movement while supine and preventing secondary spinal injury. The intersection of pillow area 3, side pillow area 4, and cervical pillow area 5 is designed with an inwardly concave curved surface, ensuring effective immobilization while leaving space for the patient's ears, enhancing patient comfort.

[0025] When the patient needs to turn over or lie on his side, he places his head on the side pillow area 4 and his neck on the side lying cervical pillow area 6. The height of the side pillow area 4 is greater than that of the side lying cervical pillow area 6. Such a height design conforms to the physiological curve of the human cervical spine, ensuring that the patient's spine can be kept in a straight line when lying on his side or turning over, thereby maintaining the stability of the spine; if the patient needs to lie on his side for a long time, the back of the patient's head can be leaned on the inclined surface 8 of the support pillow 2 fixed to the side pillow area 4, so that the patient's head, neck, shoulders and spine are in a straight line when lying on his side. Even without medical staff to watch over him, the patient can maintain a correct side-lying posture alone, relieve the pain caused by lying on his back for a long time, and improve comfort.

[0026] The pillow body 1 and the support pillow 2 are made of latex, which has good elasticity and support, can be adaptively adjusted according to the curve of the human head and neck, and is very durable.

[0027] In another embodiment of the present invention, the support pillow is shaped like a triangular prism with a right triangle cross section.

[0028] In another embodiment of the present invention, the pillow area 3 is 4 cm high, the cervical pillow area 5 is 7 cm high, the side pillow area 4 is 7 cm high, and the side-lying cervical pillow area 6 is 10 cm high. The inclined surface 8 of the support pillow 2 is tilted at a 38° angle. Research shows that a pillow height of 7 cm is the most comfortable height for an overall sleeping experience. Designing different heights for different areas of the pillow body 1, based on the physiological curve of the human cervical spine, is more convenient for patients. The triangular pillow's inclined surface 8 is tilted at a 38° angle to avoid excessive local pressure and provide greater comfort when the patient is lying on their side.

[0029] In another embodiment of the present invention, the support pillow 2 is equipped with a removable pillowcase 14 that fits over it. The pillowcase 14 is provided with a pair of fixing straps 10 at its ends, and the ends of the fixing straps 10 are provided with connecting material 12. The pillow body 1 is equipped with a removable pillowcase 13 that fits over it. The bottom surface of the pillowcase 13 is also provided with connecting material 11 that matches the connecting material 12. An opening 7 for the fixing strap 10 is provided near the side-lying neck pillow area 6 in the side pillow area 4. A notch 15 is provided on the bottom surface of the pillowcase 13 at a position corresponding to the opening 7. In this embodiment, the connecting material is Velcro. When securing the support pillow 2, the support pillow 2 is placed upright on the side near the pillow area 3. The fixing strap 10 is first passed through the opening 7. Then, the connecting material 11 at the end of the fixing strap 10 is bonded and fixed to the connecting material 12 at the bottom of the pillowcase 14.

[0030] The utility model prevents the patient's head and neck from moving when lying on their back through the cooperation of the pillow body 1 and the support pillow 2, thereby jointly immobilizing the patient's head and neck and enabling the patient to lie on their side for a long time, effectively relieving pain, and improving the patient's comfort and the work efficiency of medical staff while maintaining spinal stability and avoiding secondary injuries.

[0031] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
