Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical assistance, and in particular relates to a head protection device for bedridden patients with skull defects. Background Art

[0002] Currently, patients with skull defects caused by craniocerebral injury or other diseases who require large bone flap decompression must wait 3-6 months before undergoing cranioplasty. During these 3-6 months, the patient's skull remains defective, and local brain tissue lacks the protection and support of the skull. More importantly, the lack of skull protection and support can cause brain tissue displacement when the patient changes position, resulting in serious damage and posing a significant safety hazard. The skull defect protection cap can effectively protect brain tissue from damage and provide better protection for the patient's head.

[0003] During the hospitalization period after craniectomy, the patient is weak and needs to rest in bed. There is an equipment conveyor belt at the head of the bed. Some family members place items on it in violation of regulations. There is a risk that items on the equipment conveyor belt will fall and hit the patient's head. In addition, when family members transfer items on both sides of the bed, the items may also fall and hit the patient's head.

[0004] The existing skull defect protective cap is worn on the patient's head in a whole circle, such as those disclosed in CN201921433083.8, CN201820687914.3, CN202122106649.X, or CN201420849816.7, which are more suitable for patients to use after being discharged from the hospital after craniectomy decompression surgery. During the hospitalization of bedridden patients, when the patients use the aforementioned skull defect protective cap to rest in bed, they feel restrained, and the back of the head is pressed by the protective cap, which causes a sense of diaphragm and poor comfort. In addition, some patients have bandages and intubations on their heads, making it difficult for them to wear the protective cap. Utility Model Content

[0033] The utility model provides a head protection device for bedridden patients with skull defects, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the head protection device includes a protective cover 10 that can be placed on a bed and has an open lower end and a front end for covering the patient's head. The protective cover 10 is fixed to the bed by a connecting mechanism 20.

[0034] When the patient is resting in bed, the protective cover 10 is placed on the outside of the patient's head and fixed to the bed through the connecting mechanism 20 to prevent the protective cover 10 from shifting. The protective cover 10 blocks foreign objects above the bed from falling, avoiding further craniocerebral injury in patients with skull defects.

[0035] The connection mechanism 20 includes two connecting straps 21 respectively connected to the left and right ends of the protective cover 10. The connecting straps 21 can be tied to the bed (such as a railing) to fix the position of the protective cover 10 and prevent it from shifting. Preferably, the connection mechanism 20 also includes a buckle 22 fixed to the connecting strap 21. The bed is provided with a snap-on portion that can be snapped and fixed with the buckle 22. The snap-on portion is a slot or lock provided on the side of the bed. The two buckles 22 are snapped to the snap-on portions on the left and right sides of the bed to fix the position of the protective cover 10. The specific method of achieving snap-on fixation by the buckle 22 and the snap-on portion is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0036] In the present invention, the protective cover 10 includes a cover body 11 with openings at the lower end and the front end, and a cover edge 12 extending outward and fixed to the lower end of the cover body 11. The cover edge 12 extends from the left side of the cover body 11 to the rear side to the right side of the cover body 11. Two connecting belts 21 are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the cover edge 12. The protective cover 10 can be supported on the bed by the cover edge 12, thereby increasing the contact area between the protective cover 10 and the bed and improving the stability of the protective cover 10.

[0037] In another preferred embodiment, the cover 11 comprises a flexible body and a plastic frame embedded in the flexible body, allowing the shape of the cover 11 to be molded. The plastic frame can be made of a memory alloy, and the body can be made of a soft, deformable material such as silicone, rubber, or sponge. After the patient is positioned, the cover 11 is molded into an appropriate shape based on the patient's head condition (which may be bandaged, connected to various drainage tubes, or connected to an EEG device). The cover is then placed over the patient's head to block falling foreign objects.

[0038] In another preferred embodiment, the back of the protective cover 10 is provided with a through-hole 13 communicating with the interior thereof to facilitate the insertion and exit of a drainage tube. For example, one through-hole 13 is provided on each left and right side of the back of the cover body 11. The specific number of through-holes 13 can be increased or decreased according to actual circumstances. If the patient has a drainage tube in their head, the drainage tube can be passed through the through-hole 13. Preferably, the size of the through-hole 13 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the drainage tube, so that the outer wall of the drainage tube and the inner wall of the through-hole 13 have an interference fit to secure the drainage tube.

[0039] In another preferred embodiment, the protective cover 10 is provided with a notch 14 that communicates with the tube insertion hole 13. The notch 14 extends to the edge of the lower end of the protective cover 10, specifically to the outer edge of the cover edge 12. When the drainage tube is passed through the notch 14, it enters the tube insertion hole 13. Furthermore, preferably, the width of the notch 14 is smaller than the diameter of the drainage tube. Therefore, once the drainage tube is inserted into the tube insertion hole 13 through the notch 14, it will not slip out of the notch 14, thereby providing a more secure fixation.

[0040] In another preferred embodiment, a rib 15 is movably connected to the protective cover 10 to cover the notch 14. The rib 15 is designed as a flip-up cover, covering the notch 14 for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. In this embodiment, because the rib 15 covers the notch 14, it limits the position of the lower surface of the drainage tube. In this case, the width of the notch 14 can be greater than, less than, or equal to the diameter of the drainage tube.
