[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] The utility model provides a vest to prevent crushing injuries, such as Figures 1-4 The vest comprises a main body 1, with shoulder cushioning structures 2 mounted on both shoulders of the main body 1, a back cushioning structure 3 mounted on the middle portion of the back of the main body 1, a back breathable mesh 31 mounted on the front of the back cushioning structure 3, a shoulder breathable mesh 21 mounted on the front of the shoulder cushioning structure 2, curved support blocks 32 mounted on both sides of the back cushioning structure 3, and a movable plate 35 mounted between the front of the back cushioning structure 3 and the back breathable mesh 31. The movable plate 35 is adjusted up and down by an adjustment assembly, thereby driving the back breathable mesh 31 to fit the patient's back. The two curved support blocks 32 are symmetrically arranged, with both sides of the back breathable mesh 31 extending to cover the front of the two curved support blocks 32.

[0022] In this embodiment, the front of the vest body 1 is an open structure, and the opening is connected and fixed by a plurality of buttons 11, so as to facilitate the patient to put on and take off the vest.

[0023] Specifically, the shoulder buffer structure 2 is an arc-shaped structure and is adapted to the patient's shoulders. The back buffer structure 3 is an arc-shaped structure and is adapted to the curvature of the patient's back, so that the shoulder buffer structure 2 fits well at the shoulders and the back buffer structure 3 fits well at the back spine.

[0024] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes a threaded rod 34. A threaded hole 33 is provided in the middle of the back cushioning structure 3. The top end of the threaded rod 34 is threaded through the threaded hole 33 and is rotatably connected to the movable plate 35. By rotating the threaded rod 34, the height of the movable plate 35 is adjusted, thereby achieving a snug fit of the back air permeable mesh 31 against the back, ensuring support for the middle spine of the back.

[0025] Furthermore, a groove 36 is provided in the middle of the back side of the back buffer structure 3 , and a handle 341 is installed at the bottom end of the threaded rod 34 . The handle 341 is provided inside the groove 36 to ensure that the handle 341 is hidden.

[0026] Furthermore, the shoulder breathable net 21 and the back breathable net 31 are made of elastic polyester fiber or elastic nylon material, ensuring that the shoulder breathable net 21 and the back breathable net 31 have a certain degree of elasticity.

[0027] Furthermore, both ends of the shoulder buffer structure 2 and the back buffer structure 3 are arc-shaped protruding structures to avoid friction on other parts of the body.

[0028] When the vest for preventing pressure injuries of the present invention is in use, first, when a cancer patient or other patient who needs back support puts on the vest, the vest body 1 will fit tightly against the patient's upper body. Since the front of the vest body 1 is designed as an open structure and is connected and fixed by buttons 11, this allows the patient to easily put on or take off the vest, and it is also convenient for fine-tuning according to physical conditions. When the patient puts on the vest, the shoulder buffer structure 2 will naturally wrap around the patient's shoulders. Its arc-shaped design adapts to the shape of the shoulders, providing stable support and dispersing pressure; similarly, the back buffer structure 3 is also an arc-shaped design, which fits closely to the curvature of the patient's back and provides necessary support for the spine. The design of these two buffer structures is intended to reduce direct contact between the shoulders and back and the bed surface or other hard objects, thereby reducing the risk of pressure sores that may be caused by long-term bed rest.

[0029] During use, patients may need varying degrees of back support. Adjustment components can be used to adjust the fit of the back mesh 31 against the back. Specifically, the patient or caregiver can rotate the handle 341 within the groove 36, which in turn drives the threaded rod 34 up and down within the threaded hole 33, thereby driving the movable plate 35 to push the back mesh 31 to better fit the back, adjusting the fit of the back mesh 31 against the back. This design not only provides personalized support needs but also ensures proper support for the spine.

[0030] In addition, the shoulder breathable mesh 21 and the back breathable mesh 31 are made of elastic polyester fiber or elastic nylon material, which ensures that the breathable mesh can provide support while maintaining good breathability and elasticity, thereby increasing wearing comfort.
