Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical care and rehabilitation products technology, and in particular to a device to help patients sit up. Background Art
[0002] Thoracic surgeries include lobectomy, segmentectomy, radical esophagectomy, mediastinal tumor resection, etc. Postoperatively, a closed chest drainage tube is placed on the affected side. After returning to the ward from the recovery room, patients routinely elevate the head of the bed by 30 degrees every 30 minutes to facilitate breathing and drainage. Four hours postoperatively, patients can be assisted to sit up and move around (side-lying position is not recommended, as it can compress the drainage tube on the affected side, and lying on the unaffected side is not conducive to drainage). Currently, the hospital uses a pull strap at the foot of the bed, similar to a cotton strip with a loop at one end, which is attached to the foot of the bed. With the assistance of a nurse or accompanying family member, the patient can grasp the strap with their unaffected hand to sit up or lie down, which is very convenient. Especially when patients lie down, they can control the speed of lying down by holding the strap and adjust it according to their own pain. However, there are still some problems with the use of the strap. For example, when patients sit up or lie down using the strap, there is no support point for the waist. They need to use the strap to descend slowly. The strap is controlled by the force of the hand. When the hand holds the strap, it can only ensure that the waist does not fall when tilting. The speed of sitting up or lying down still largely needs to be controlled by the patient. Therefore, the structure of the strap needs to be improved to increase its practicality while maintaining the simplicity of the structure. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model provides a device to assist patients in sitting up, in order to solve the problems in the background art.
[0004] This utility model embodiment adopts the following technical solution: an assistive device for patients to sit up, including a pull strap, one end of which has a fixing ring fixed to the side of the bed, and the other end of which has a waistband that wraps around the patient's waist, the waistband being a resilient fabric strip. This solves the problem in the prior art where the pull strap is less effective when the patient needs to lie back down after sitting up.
[0005] Furthermore, the waist belt is equipped with a lumbar support belt, which is positioned behind the patient when the waist belt is worn. This lumbar support belt increases the contact area between the waist belt and the patient, making the waist belt more comfortable for the patient.
[0006] Furthermore, two handles are provided at the middle position of the pull strap, and the two handles are spaced apart. Providing handles on the pull strap allows the patient to have a point of leverage when pulling the strap, thus making the pulling more stable.
[0007] Furthermore, each of the grips is provided with anti-slip grooves. Adding anti-slip grooves to the grips makes it easier for patients to hold them.
[0008] Furthermore, the pull strap is equipped with two wristbands, each located beside a handle, and both wristbands are positioned on one side of the waistband on the pull strap. The wristbands are used by the patient to slip them onto their wrist when gripping the handle, and they can hold the wrist in place if the patient's hand slips off the handle, thus increasing protection.
[0009] The above-mentioned technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of this utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:
[0010] Firstly, in this application, the other end of the pull strap is designed as a loop around the patient's waist. This allows the patient to place the other end of the pull strap over their body and pull on it with both hands. When the patient sits up, their waist naturally leans backward as they lie down, and the loop provides significant resistance, allowing them to fall slowly. Simultaneously, the hands provide some pulling force to assist in the patient's folding motion. When the patient sits up, they pull on the pull strap with both hands to move their waist upward, and the strap's resilience also helps them sit up. This addresses the problem in existing technologies where the pull strap is less effective when the patient needs to lie down after sitting up.
[0011] Secondly, in this application, the addition of a lumbar support belt to the waist belt increases the contact area between the waist belt and the patient, making the patient more comfortable when using the waist belt and preventing the waist belt from applying pressure to the patient's body and causing ligature marks.
[0012] Thirdly, in this application, the addition of a handle to the pull strap allows the patient to have a point of leverage when pulling the strap, preventing the patient's hands from coming into contact with the strap. This not only makes the patient more stable when pulling the strap, but also prevents the cloth strap from easily causing friction and hand injuries when in contact with the hand.
[0013] Fourth, adding anti-slip grooves to the handle makes it easier for patients to grip the handle. When using the strap, patients need to exert force with their hands to grip the handle, and their body parts are also exerting force at the same time, which makes their hands prone to sweating. Anti-slip grooves allow patients to grip the handle stably even when their hands are sweaty.
[0014] Fifth, in this application, the wrist brace is used by the patient to put on the wrist when holding the handle. The wrist brace can hold the hand when the patient's hand falls off the handle, allowing the hand to pull the strap through the wrist brace. This can prevent the patient from suddenly losing the pull force, which could lead to rhythm disorder and injury. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0020] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] Reference Figures 1-2 This utility model provides a device to assist patients in sitting up, including a pull strap 1. One end of the pull strap 1 is provided with a fixing ring 2 fixed to the side of the bed, and the other end of the pull strap 1 is provided with a waist belt 3 that wraps around the patient's waist. The pull strap 1 and the waist belt 3 are made of natural rubber.
[0022] In this application, the existing pull strap 1 has been improved. The original pull strap 1 only has loops at both ends, with one end fixed to the side of the bed and the other end for the patient to grasp. In this application, the other end of the pull strap 1 is set as a waist belt 3 that loops around the patient's waist. In this way, when the patient uses it, the other end of the pull strap 1 can be placed on the patient's body, and the patient can pull on the pull strap 1 with both hands. When the patient sits up, the waist naturally falls backward when lying down, and the waist belt 3 will provide greater resistance to make the patient fall down slowly. At the same time, the hands can also provide some pulling force to help the patient lie down. When the patient sits up, the patient pulls the pull strap 1 with both hands to move the waist upward. The elasticity and rebound of the pull strap 1 will also help the patient sit up. Furthermore, the pull strap 1 and the waist belt 3 are made of natural rubber, so that both have good elasticity and sufficient strength, and the material should be soft and comfortable to reduce friction and discomfort to the patient's skin. This approach solves the problem that the existing pull strap 1 is less effective when the patient needs to lie down on the bed after sitting up.
[0023] Preferably, the waist belt 3 is provided with a lumbar support belt 4, and when the waist belt 3 is worn on the patient, the lumbar support belt 4 is located on the patient's back.
[0024] Setting a lumbar support belt 4 on the waist belt 3 can increase the contact area between the waist belt 3 and the patient, making the patient more comfortable when using the waist belt 3 and preventing the waist belt 3 from applying local pressure to the patient's body, which could cause ligature marks.
[0025] Preferably, two handles 5 are provided at the middle position of the pull strap 1, and the two handles 5 are arranged at intervals.
[0026] The handle is made of PU rubber, which provides good water absorption and comfort, making it suitable for users with sweaty hands. It is easy to grip. The handle 5 on the pull strap 1 provides a point of leverage for the patient's hands when pulling the pull strap 1, preventing the patient's hands from coming into contact with the pull strap 1. This not only makes the patient more stable when pulling the pull strap 1, but also prevents the cloth pull strap 1 from coming into contact with the hands and causing friction that could lead to hand injuries.
[0027] Preferably, each of the grips 5 is provided with an anti-slip groove 51.
[0028] Adding anti-slip grooves 51 to the handle 5 makes it easier for patients to grip the handle 5. Since patients need to exert force when gripping the handle 5 with their hands and body parts when using the strap 1, their hands are prone to sweating. Anti-slip grooves 51 allow patients to grip the handle 5 stably even when their hands are sweating.
[0029] Preferably, the pull strap 1 is provided with two wrist guards 6, each wrist guard 6 is located on the side of a handle 5, and both wrist guards 6 are located on one side of the waist belt 3 on the pull strap 1.
[0030] Wristband 6 is made of pure cotton. The pure cotton wristband 6 is soft, comfortable, and breathable. It will not feel stuffy or uncomfortable even after wearing it for a long time. In addition, the cotton material has good moisture absorption, which can effectively absorb the sweat of the hands and keep the wrist dry. In this application, the wrist brace 6 is used by the patient to put on their wrist when gripping the handle 5. This can provide some protection for the patient and prevent their hand from slipping off the handle 5 when pulling the strap 1. Since the patient is in a postoperative state, although the handle 5 is designed for pulling and anti-slip grooves 51 are provided on the handle 5, these features can largely ensure that the patient is not easily slipped off the handle 5 when gripping it. However, postoperative patients are still prone to weakness, especially during sit-up training. If the patient's hand becomes weak and slips off the handle 5, it will disrupt the patient's rhythm and make the patient fall backward quickly, which may cause injury. The wrist brace 6 can hold the patient's hand when it slips off the handle 5, allowing the hand to pull the strap 1 through the wrist brace 6. This can prevent the patient from suddenly losing the pull.
[0031] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
