In the event that the definition of a term in this utility model conflicts with the meaning commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this utility model belongs, the definition in this utility model shall prevail.

[0020] Lumbar fractures are a common occurrence in orthopedic clinics. To maintain the normal curvature of the lumbar spine, minimize stress on the lumbar spine, and relax the muscles and ligaments, a soft cushion or rolled-up towel is often placed under the patient before surgery or during conservative treatment. However, this method has the following drawbacks: ① It is prone to sliding and cannot provide fixed support with the patient's body movements; ② The height cannot be accurately adjusted, failing to provide effective support for the lumbar spine; and ③ The towel cushion is not very comfortable.

[0021] The utility model provides a horizontal inflatable lumbar support device, which can be relatively fixed to the patient's body, has high comfort, and can adjust the support height, thereby effectively supporting the waist of patients with lumbar fractures and promoting the recovery of the lumbar spine.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, this embodiment provides a horizontal inflatable waist support device, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , including a base 1, a waist fixing wing 2, an air cushion 3, an inflatable bag 5 and an inflatable tube group 6.

[0024] In this embodiment, the base 1 is in the shape of a hard plate, and the waist fixing wings 2 are fixed at both ends of the base 1 in the length direction, and the waist fixing wings 2 are arranged opposite to each other. The opposite waist fixing wings 2 and the base 1 form a semi-enclosed shape, and the interior is a space for accommodating the patient's waist, wherein the opposite waist fixing wings 2 away from the base 1 do not touch each other at one end, leaving a passage for the patient's waist to enter. Preferably, the waist fixing wings 2 are in the shape of relative arcs and are inward-adducted, so as to adapt to the patient's waist. The air cushion 3 is fixed on the base 1 and is located between the two opposite waist fixing wings 2, and the air cushion 3 forms support for the patient's waist.

[0025] The waist fixing wing 2 is a fixing wing made of elastic material, so it can be deformed. Figure 3 The waist fixing flap 2 includes a connecting portion 21 fixedly connected to the base 1 and an elastic portion 22 spaced apart from the base 1. The connecting portion 21 is a hard, curved plate, which protects the side of the air cushion 3 from compression. Preferably, the base 1 and the connecting portion 21 are integral. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 21 and the elastic portion 22 are located at the point where the distance between the waist fixing flaps 2 is greatest.

[0026] When in use, the elastic portion 22 of the waist fixing wing 2 opens outward away from one end of the base 1, making it easier for the patient's waist to enter the interior of the supporter. After the patient's waist enters the interior of the supporter, fine-tuning is performed so that the waist fixing wing 2 fits the patient's waist. Preferably, the elastic portion 22 of the waist fixing wing 2 is latex, and the outside of the base 1 and the outside of the connecting portion 21 are coated with latex. The latex coating the base 1 and the latex coating the connecting portion 21 are integrated with the elastic portion 22. The latex material is sweat-absorbent, soft and highly plastic, and can fit tightly to the patient's waist; it has good breathability and will not be stuffy, which can improve the patient's comfort.

[0027] Furthermore, a strap is fixed to the end of the elastic part 22 away from the base 1 (as shown in the figure), and there are two straps. The free ends of the straps can be fixed by knotting, or by other methods in the prior art, such as Velcro. After the patient's waist is placed in the support device, the elastic parts 22 on both sides are tightened by using the straps to make the elastic parts 22 close to the patient's waist curve, preventing relative sliding between the patient's waist and the support device, which may cause the support device to shift, thereby ensuring that the lumbar spine can be supported long-term and effectively, and facilitating the reduction and healing of the lumbar bones.

[0028] In this embodiment, the air cushion 3 is fixedly connected to the base 1 by bonding, and the bonding has sufficient strength to ensure that the connection between the air cushion 3 and the base 1 is reliable.

[0029] Specifically, there are three air cushions 3 , which are spaced apart vertically, and each of the air cushions 3 has the same length and width. The waist fixing wings 2 are located on both sides of the air cushions 3 in the longitudinal direction.

[0030] The inflatable bag 5 is located outside the space enclosed by the base 1 and the waist fixing wing 2. The inflatable tube group 6 includes a main inflatable tube 61 connected to the inflatable bag 5 and a branch inflatable tube 62 connected to the air cushion 3. The number of the branch inflatable tubes 62 is three, which is equal to the number of the air cushions 3. The main inflatable tube 61 and the branch inflatable tubes 62 are both rubber tubes. The branch inflatable tubes 62 pass through the through hole provided on the connecting portion 21 of the waist fixing wing 2. When the inflatable bag 5 is used to inflate, the gas in the main inflatable tube 61 is divided into three paths, which flow into the three air cushions 3 respectively, completing the inflation of all the air cushions 3. As needed, the height of the air cushion 3 can be adjusted by increasing the amount of inflation.

[0031] In this embodiment, the inflatable bag 5 is a conventional air bag with a valve, which has not been modified and is not shown in the accompanying drawings. The air cushion 3 is inflated by pressing the inflatable bag 5. The air cushion 3 can be deflated via the valve of the inflatable bag 5. During use, a certain amount of gas can be pre-filled into the air cushion 3. The support device is placed on a bed, and the patient lies down with the injured part of the waist placed on the air cushion 3. The height of the air cushion 3 can then be further inflated or deflated to achieve an appropriate support height to suit the patient's waist characteristics, providing greater comfort for the patient and improving support effectiveness, thereby avoiding poor support effectiveness caused by excessively high or low support.

[0032] Inflation is performed through the inflatable bag 5 , which is easy to operate, does not require additional inflation equipment, and is low in cost, thus facilitating the industrial application of the support device.

[0033] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, an indicator window 4 is provided on the connection portion 21 of the waist fixing wing 2. The indicator window 4 extends through the connection portion 21, allowing the inflated height of the air cushion 3 to be observed from the outside. Preferably, the number of indicator windows 4 is equal to the number of air cushions 3, and they correspond one to one. This arrangement facilitates independent observation of each air cushion 3.

[0034] The indicator window 4 is arranged along the height direction of the air cushion 3, and a transparent scale plate 41 fixed to the connecting portion 21 is provided on the indicator window 4. The scale plate 41 is marked with scales to measure the height of the air cushion 3, which is convenient for medical staff to observe the support height of the air cushion 3 from the side during use, so that the height of the air cushion 3 can be adjusted more accurately, ensuring that the support for the waist is always at an appropriate height, effectively supporting the lumbar spine.

[0035] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, a switch 7 for controlling the branch air tubes 62 is also included. One switch 7 is provided on each of the three branch air tubes 62. The switch 7 can adopt an infusion switch structure, or other switch structures in the prior art, as long as the ventilation of the branch air tubes 62 can be controlled. When in use, the inflatable bag 5 can be used to inflate one, two, or three of the air cushions 3 as needed. For example, if the middle branch air tube 62 is closed, only the other two branch air tubes 62 are used for inflation to complete the inflation of the two air cushions 3. In addition, through the switch 7, it is also possible to fill different amounts of gas into different air cushions 3, so that the heights of the different air cushions 3 show a certain degree of difference.

[0036] Through the above settings, the appropriate position of the air cushion 3 can be selected according to the patient's fracture site, and the support point can be adjusted in stages to support the lumbar spine over a large area.

[0037] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the number of the air cushion 3 can be one, the length of which is equal to that of the air cushion 3 in Example 1, and the width of which is equal to the sum of the widths of the three air cushions 3 in Example 1. This arrangement can ensure that the positions requiring lumbar support are at exactly the same height, providing comprehensive support for the waist.

[0038] The present invention's horizontal inflatable lumbar support device is suitable for patients with lumbar fractures, especially those who require long-term recuperation in bed. During use, the device is unfolded and placed behind the patient's waist. The waist fixing wings 2 are wrapped around the patient's waist and adjusted to the appropriate position based on the patient's waist circumference. The elastic portions 22 of the waist fixing wings 2 on both sides are tightened to fit the patient's waist curve. Following the doctor's instructions, the position of the inflatable air cushion 3 is selected based on the fracture location. A single air cushion 3 can be inflated, or two or three air cushions 3 can be inflated depending on the actual situation. The scale plate 41 is observed. After inflating to the required height, the inflation switch 7 is turned off. The scale plate 41 is observed daily to check whether the air cushion 3 is inflated to the appropriate height. After use, wipe with clean water and air dry.

[0039] In another feasible embodiment, the support device is simplified, the connecting portion 21 and the elastic portion 22 of the waist fixing wing 2 are both made of latex material, and the indicator window 4 is not provided on the connecting portion 21 .

[0040] The horizontal inflatable lumbar support device of the present invention can adjust the height and position of the air cushion 3 according to the patient's lumbar characteristics and fracture location through the inflatable air cushion 3, providing personalized support for the patient. The presence of the air cushion 3 also makes the patient's waist more comfortable and reduces the discomfort of lying in bed for a long time.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any other limitation to the present invention. Any modification or equivalent variation based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
