Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Post-surgery rehabilitation for shoulder joints is a crucial component of medical care. Post-surgery, patients often need to maintain a specific forward flexion and abduction position to promote joint repair and functional recovery. For these patients, especially those requiring extended bed rest, effective support and protection of the affected limb to prevent neck and shoulder muscle tension, pain, and even shoulder dislocation caused by improper positioning has become a crucial issue in clinical rehabilitation.

[0003] Currently, braces are commonly used clinically to maintain the patient's shoulder in a flexed and abducted position. However, these braces are mostly designed for patients sitting up or getting out of bed. When the patient is in the supine position, the gap between the upper arm of the affected limb and the bed board causes a lack of stable support for the shoulder, which can easily cause passive tension in the neck and shoulder muscles, hindering the recovery process and even leading to shoulder dislocation in severe cases.

[0004] To compensate for this deficiency, a folded towel is often placed between the shoulder of the affected upper arm and the bed board to provide some support. However, this method has obvious drawbacks: the towel is not securely placed, easily shifts, and easily deforms, making it unable to provide stable and appropriate support for the patient in the long term.

[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed an improved neck-shoulder integrated pillow to solve the problems raised in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an improved neck-shoulder integrated pillow to solve the problem that the shoulder and neck support devices in the prior art cannot provide stable and appropriate support for patients for a long time.

[0007] An improved neck-shoulder integrated pillow comprises a neck head, two shoulder pillows are mounted on both side walls of the neck head, two placement grooves are fixedly connected to the outer side walls of the two shoulder pillows, and two side protection pads are mounted on the inner ends of the two placement grooves;

[0008] The splicing mechanism is arranged between the neck and the shoulder pillow.

[0009] Preferably, the shape of the placement groove fits the shape of the shoulder, the shape of the neck head is concave in the middle and convex on both sides, and the neck head fits the neck.

[0010] Preferably, the splicing mechanism includes zipper teeth, which are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the neck head and the shoulder pillow, and the inner walls of the zipper teeth are slidably connected to a zipper pull head, which is used to close the connection between the dispersed zipper teeth.

[0011] Preferably, the outer side walls of the shoulder pillow and the neck are installed with closed fabrics, and the closed fabrics are in two groups, wherein the bottom end of one group of the closed fabrics is fixedly connected with a female buckle, and the top end of the other group of the closed fabrics is fixedly connected with a male buckle.

[0012] Preferably, the sub-button and the female button are snap-fitted together, and the female button and the sub-button have the effect of sealing the shoulder pillow and the neck.

[0013] Preferably, the connection between the two zipper elements allows the neck and the placement groove to be spliced ​​together.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The integrated design of the neck and shoulder pillow, especially the shoulder pillow part, can stably support the hind arm and shoulder of the affected limb, avoiding the problem of easy displacement and deformation of the support in traditional methods (such as using towels), ensuring that the patient's shoulders are continuously and stably supported when lying flat, reducing the tension of the neck and shoulder muscles, and facilitating postoperative recovery.

[0016] 2. The height and groove design of the headrest are based on the normal physiological curvature of the human cervical spine, so that patients can avoid excessive flexion or extension of the cervical spine when lying flat, maintaining the relaxation of structures such as the cervical muscles, ligaments and joint capsules, which helps to improve the patient's comfort and reduce the burden on the cervical spine.

[0022] The following is a further detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0023] As attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 4 As shown:

[0024] Embodiment 1: The present invention provides an improved neck-shoulder integrated pillow, comprising a neck head 1, two shoulder pillows 11 being mounted on both side walls of the neck head 1, two placement grooves 12 being fixedly connected to the outer side walls of the two shoulder pillows 11, and two side protection pads 13 being mounted on one end of the two placement grooves 12 close to the inner side;

[0025] A splicing mechanism is provided between the neck head 1 and the shoulder pillow 11, the shape of the placement groove 12 is fitted with the shape of the shoulder, the shape of the neck head 1 is concave in the middle and convex on both sides, the neck head 1 is fitted with the neck, and the splicing mechanism includes a zipper chain tooth 2, the zipper chain tooth 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the neck head 1 and the shoulder pillow 11, and the inner side wall of the zipper chain tooth 2 is slidably connected with a zipper pull head 21, and the zipper pull head 21 is used to close the connection between the dispersed zipper chain teeth 2.

[0026] Specifically, air bags can be embedded in the inner walls of the shoulder pillow 11 and the neck head 1. By adjusting the size of the air bags, the shoulder pillow can be highly fitted to the shoulder of the affected limb. The sizes of the neck head 1 and the shoulder pillow 11 can be adjusted according to different body shapes and shoulder widths, with different sizes available in large, medium and small.

[0027] Working principle: when this device is needed, if a shoulder pillow is needed, first connect the zipper teeth 2 on the outside of the neck head 1 with the zipper teeth 2 on the outside of the shoulder pillow 11, and then connect the two zipper teeth 2 together through the zipper pull head 21 to splice the shoulder pillow 11 and the neck head 1 together. If the neck head 1 and the shoulder pillow 11 need to be used separately, splice the female buckle 23 and the female buckle 24 on the outside of the closing fabric 22 together to seal the shoulder pillow 11 and the neck head 1 to prevent leakage of internal filling.
