Abstract

The ankle pad for the supine position operation for more than three hours comprises a pad seat body, a U-shaped notch part is arranged on the pad seat body, the shape of the U-shaped notch part is matched with that of the ankle, the U-shaped notch part is provided with a pair of side walls, an inflatable pad is arranged at the bottom of the U-shaped notch part, and the inflatable pad is connected with an exhaust valve and a balloon type manual air pump. For a horizontal position operation of which the time is longer than three hours, the device can be inflated or deflated for many times to pad and protect the ankle, so that the problem of pressure distribution of the ankle in the horizontal position operation is effectively solved, and pressure injury to the ankle is prevented; compared with an existing water cushion and an existing gel cushion, the problems that adjustment cannot be achieved, and the pressure reduction effect is poor are solved; compared with a method for adjusting the inclination angle of the bed body, the risk of influencing the surgical operation of a surgeon is avoided.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a surgical auxiliary nursing appliance, in particular to an ankle pad for supine position surgery with an operation time of more than three hours. Background Art

[0002] For supine surgeries lasting less than three hours, the ankle skin is generally less susceptible to pressure injuries. However, for procedures such as laparoscopic radical gastrectomy, extracorporeal aortic valve replacement, and laparoscopic radical bladder surgery, which often last longer than three hours, the risk of ankle pressure injuries increases. To address the issue of ankle pressure injuries associated with prolonged supine surgeries, two existing solutions exist: 1. Using a homemade water or gel pad placed under the ankle during surgery to relieve pressure; 2. Adjusting the bed's tilt angle to micro-move the ankle promotes blood circulation and reduces pressure injuries. However, these solutions have the following disadvantages: 1. While the water pad can distribute force, it cannot be adjusted during use; 2. The gel pad's hard edges reduce the ankle's pressure relief over extended periods; and 3. Adjusting the bed's tilt angle can cause the patient to move, potentially interfering with the surgeon's surgical performance. Clinical practice calls for an ankle pad suitable for supine surgeries lasting more than three hours. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an ankle pad for supine position surgery lasting more than three hours.

[0004] The present utility model adopts the following technical solution: it includes a cushion seat body, which is provided with a U-shaped recessed portion, the U-shaped recessed portion is adapted to the shape of the ankle, the U-shaped recessed portion is provided with a pair of side walls, and the bottom of the U-shaped recessed portion is provided with an inflatable cushion, and the inflatable cushion is connected to an exhaust valve and a balloon-type manual air pump.

[0005] The principle and operation are as follows: For a supine surgery lasting more than three hours, the device is first placed at the end of the tabletop, with the patient's ankle placed in the U-shaped notch. Before anesthesia is administered, the inflatable cushion is manually inflated using a balloon-type manual air pump, maintaining a semi-inflated state to provide initial ankle support. If the surgery lasts longer than two hours, the cushion is intermittently deflated and inflated using the exhaust valve and balloon-type manual air pump to reduce pressure on the patient's ankle tissue, achieve micro-mobilization of the ankle, and thus prevent pressure injuries.

[0006] One improvement is that the side wall is provided with a sponge pad protective layer.

[0007] The present invention has the following advantages: 1. For supine surgery lasting more than three hours, the device can be inflated or deflated multiple times during the operation to cushion the ankle, effectively solving the pressure distribution of the ankle during supine surgery and preventing ankle pressure injuries; 2. It avoids the shortcomings of the existing technology of using water pads and gel pads that cannot be adjusted and have poor decompression effects; 3. Compared with the method of adjusting the inclination angle of the bed, it avoids the risk of affecting the surgical operation of the surgeon. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0008] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structural principle of an embodiment of the utility model.

[0009] In the figure: a cushion body 1, a U-shaped notch portion 2, a side wall 3, an inflatable cushion 4, an exhaust valve 5, a balloon-type manual air pump 6, and a sponge cushion protective layer 7. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0010] One embodiment is that the utility model adopts the following technical solution: it includes a cushion body 1, the cushion body 1 is provided with a U-shaped recess portion 2, the U-shaped recess portion 2 is adapted to the shape of the ankle, the U-shaped recess portion 2 is provided with a pair of side walls 3, and the bottom of the U-shaped recess portion 2 is provided with an inflatable cushion 4, and the inflatable cushion 4 is connected to an exhaust valve 5 and a balloon-type manual air pump 6.

[0011] The principle and operation method are as follows: For a supine surgery lasting more than three hours, the device is first placed at the end of the bed, with the patient's ankle placed in the U-shaped notch 2. Before anesthesia is administered, the balloon-type manual air pump 6 is manually operated to inflate the inflatable cushion 4, keeping it semi-inflated to initially cushion the ankle. If the surgery lasts longer than two hours, the exhaust valve 5 and balloon-type manual air pump 6 are used to intermittently deflate and inflate the cushion 4, reducing pressure on the patient's ankle tissue and achieving micro-mobilization of the ankle, thereby preventing pressure injuries.

[0012] One improvement is that the side wall 3 is provided with a sponge pad protective layer 7.

[0013] The present invention is not limited to the specific structures of the above embodiments, and equivalent transformations of other similar structures fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
