Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of support pads, in particular to a postoperative support pad. Background Art
[0002] When lying in bed after knee replacement surgery, in order to promote blood circulation in the affected limb and reduce postoperative limb swelling, it is usually necessary to raise the affected limb above the level of the heart. This requires placing a pillow or wedge-shaped pad under the patient's legs when the patient is in a supine position. The padding starts from 10 cm behind the knee joint and extends toward the thigh root, and gradually rises from the proximal end to the heel in a sloped manner. This requires the use of multiple pillows to form a height difference or directly using a whole wedge-shaped pad to meet the lifting needs. Maintaining the same posture for a long time will cause discomfort to the patient, so after two hours of lifting, the padding can be removed and the patient's legs can be placed directly on the bed and lie flat for two hours before lifting again. This cycle repeats, which means that multiple pillows or wedge-shaped cushions need to be moved every two hours. Moving multiple pillows back and forth is cumbersome. In comparison, wedge-shaped cushions are more convenient to use, but they are large in size. After being moved, there is a lack of space to place them in the limited ward. Some patients want to change to a side-lying position after lying in a supine position for a period of time. This requires the patient to lie on the side facing the healthy limb, with the knees slightly bent, and then place a soft cushion longer than the calf between the legs to elevate the affected limb so that the affected limb is higher than the heart. However, since one side of the wedge cushion has a significant height inclination and a large inclination angle, the wedge cushion cannot be used when lying on the side, and other cushions need to be replaced. Changing different cushions back and forth will undoubtedly increase the workload of the accompanying staff, and preparing multiple cushions will also cause waste of resources and difficulty in storage. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a postoperative support pad, which effectively solves the problems of the existing device having a single function and being inconvenient to move back and forth.
[0004] The technical solution is that the utility model includes an I-shaped base plate, and two fixed blocks are fixed on the front and rear ends of the base plate, which are opposite to each other in the left and right and up and down directions. The fixed blocks are slidably connected with left and right axial sliding columns, and the opposite ends of the two sliding columns at the front end are rotatably connected with support rods in the front and back directions. A waist-shaped groove that passes through the left and right is opened on the rear side of the support rod, and the two sliding columns at the rear end are respectively inserted into the waist-shaped grooves on their corresponding sides. The upper end of the support rod is hinged with a support plate, and a soft pad is fixed on the support plate. The support plate is located in the soft pad, and the soft pad can contact the support rod.
[0005] The beneficial effects of the utility model are: one item has multiple uses, can meet the needs of patients lying on their backs or sides, save resources, and there is no need to move back and forth during use. The state can be changed by simply swinging the cushion without moving it to other places. The operation is simpler and the workload of the accompanying personnel is reduced.

[0012] The specific implementation of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0013] Depend on Figures 1 to 6 It is given, including an I-shaped base plate 1, with two fixed blocks 2 fixed on the front and rear ends thereof, which are opposite to each other in the left and right and up and down directions. The fixed blocks 2 are slidably connected with left and right axial sliding columns 3. The opposite ends of the two sliding columns 3 at the front end are rotatably connected with support rods 4 in the front and back directions. The rear side of the support rod 4 is provided with a waist-shaped groove 5 which passes through the left and right sides. The two sliding columns 3 at the rear end are respectively inserted into the waist-shaped groove 5 on their corresponding sides. The upper end of the support rod 4 is hinged with a support plate 6, and a soft pad 7 is fixed on the support plate 6. The support plate 6 is located in the soft pad 7, and the soft pad 7 can contact the support rod 4.
[0014] In order to limit the position of the support rod 4, the outer end of the sliding column 3 extends out of the fixed block 2 and is coaxially slidably connected to the limiting sleeve 8. The axial cross-section of the limiting sleeve 8 is T-shaped. The outer end of the sliding column 3 is fixedly connected to the limiting sleeve 8 via a tension spring. The lower end of the front fixed block 2 and the upper end of the rear fixed block 2 are respectively provided with left and right axial limiting grooves, and the inner end of the limiting sleeve 8 can be inserted into the limiting groove on its corresponding side.
[0015] In order to make the movement of the sliding column 3 more stable, an enlarged disk 9 is coaxially fixed on the sliding column 3. The enlarged disk 9 is located in the fixed block 2 and is slidably connected to the fixed block 2.
[0016] In order to increase the stability of the fixing block 2 , a right-angled triangle reinforcement block 10 is fixed between the lower end of the fixing block 2 and the bottom plate 1 , and the two front and rear opposite fixing blocks 2 are fixedly connected via a reinforcement rod 11 .
[0017] In order to facilitate limiting the position of the support plate 6 , an elastic ring band 12 is fixed to the outside of the support plate 6 , and an inverted L-shaped hook 13 that can be inserted into the elastic ring band 12 is fixed to the outer end of the reinforcing rod 11 .
[0018] In order to facilitate use and increase patient comfort, a soft pad 14 of the same shape as the bottom plate 1 is fixed to the upper end thereof, and a non-slip pad 15 of the same shape as the bottom plate 1 is fixed to the lower end thereof.
[0019] When the utility model is in use, the initial state is that the limiting sleeves 8 are all inserted into the limiting grooves. At this time, the support rod 4 is in an inclined shape with the front lower and the back higher. The cushion 7 is in contact with the support rod 4. The bottom plate 1 is placed on the bed. At this time, the patient can lie on his back on the bed and put his legs on the cushion 7. At this time, the patient's legs are in a raised state.
[0020] After two hours of supine position with legs raised, the patient's legs are moved away from the cushion 7, and then the cushion 7 is swung upward, the support plate 6 is swung upward, and the elastic ring belt 12 is hung on the hook 13. At this time, the support plate 6 and the cushion 7 are in the up-down direction, so that the bottom plate 1 is exposed. At this time, the patient can change from the supine position with legs raised to the supine position with legs flat, which is easier to operate and more convenient to use.
[0021] When the patient wants to lie on his side, he pulls the limit sleeve 8 outward to release the limit on the sliding column 3, so that the support rod 4 changes from a low front and high back state to a horizontal state. Then the patient's healthy limb is located under the cushion 7, and the affected limb is located above the cushion 7. The cushion 7 is located between the patient's legs, thereby supporting the patient's affected limb and also raising the affected limb. There is no need to use other items, one item can be used for multiple purposes, and supplies can be saved.
[0022] The utility model has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation, novel concept and strong practicality. Through the arrangement of the bottom plate, the fixing block, the sliding column, the limiting sleeve, the limiting groove, the support rod and the support plate, the soft cushion is in a state of low front and high back, so that the patient's legs are raised. When the legs need to be laid flat, under the action of the elastic ring belt and the hook, the soft cushion and the support plate are directly changed from the horizontal state of low front and high back to a vertical state in the up and down direction, so that the patient can lie flat with his legs without having to find another place to put the soft cushion, which is more convenient to use. When the patient lies on his side, after the limiting sleeve is moved out of the limiting groove, the support rod and the support plate can be changed to a horizontal state in the front and back direction, so that the patient can put it between the legs to support the legs when lying on his side, without having to find other items. One item has multiple uses, which increases the diversity of the device.
