Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of positioning pad technology, specifically a dual-purpose positioning pad for post-hip replacement surgery. Background Technology

[0002] After hip arthroplasty via a lateral approach, patients need to maintain an abducted and neutral position when lying supine. While T-shaped cushions and pillows are routinely placed between the affected legs for support, they only separate the legs and maintain abduction in the supine position, not a neutral position. Therefore, sandbags, rice bags, or blankets should be placed on the lateral side of the affected limb for support to maintain a neutral position and prevent excessive abduction. When lying on the unaffected side, a support should be placed between the legs to prevent excessive internal rotation and adduction of the affected limb. Traditional T-shaped cushions do not support leg flexion, preventing knee flexion and leaving the lower leg suspended, which can easily lead to lower limb muscle fatigue. Furthermore, they are unstable when placed between the legs, easily causing the affected limb to slip or twist. Slipping causes pain, making patients afraid to turn over, thus increasing the incidence of pressure sores and reducing patient comfort. Twisting of the affected limb carries the risk of prosthesis dislocation, increases the incidence of postoperative dislocation complications, and can easily cause patient panic, which is not conducive to patient recovery. Pillows, bolsters, bedding, and other supporting objects have unstable heights, are prone to deformation and displacement, resulting in low patient comfort and the risk of dislocation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dual-purpose positioning pad for post-hip replacement surgery, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the instability of traditional positioning pads placed between the legs, which can easily lead to the affected limb slipping and twisting, and the unstable height of the support, which can easily deform and shift, resulting in low patient comfort and the risk of dislocation.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a dual-purpose positioning pad after hip replacement surgery, comprising a first positioning pad, a second positioning pad disposed on the right side of the first positioning pad, both the first and second positioning pads being filled with sponge pads, and both the lower end faces of the first and second positioning pads being fixed with zippers.

[0005] Also includes:

[0006] The first Velcro hook side is fixed to the lower end face of the first positioning pad, and the second Velcro hook side is fixed to the right side of the first positioning pad.

[0007] The first hook and loop fastener is fixed to the lower end of the second positioning pad. The second hook and loop fastener is fixed to the left side of the second positioning pad. The first airbag is fixed inside both the second positioning pad and the first positioning pad. The second airbag is also fixed inside both the second positioning pad and the first positioning pad.

[0008] Preferably, both the first and second positioning pads are provided with arc-shaped grooves, and the first and second positioning pads are of equal size. With the above structure, it is convenient for the patient's legs and feet to be placed and restrained, avoiding problems such as the affected limb slipping.

[0009] Preferably, a connecting piece is sewn between the first positioning pad and the second positioning pad, and the second positioning pad can be flipped between itself and the first positioning pad through the connecting piece. The above structure provides a basic guarantee for the dual-use transformation of the entire positioning pad.

[0010] Preferably, the first hook and loop fasteners are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the first positioning pad, and the hook and loop fasteners are bonded to each other to achieve a fixing effect. After the first positioning pad and the second positioning pad are combined, the above structure can be used to fix them, which can ensure the relative position of the first positioning pad and the second positioning pad and avoid slippage.

[0011] Preferably, the hook side of the second hook and loop side correspond to each other, and the hook side and loop side are bonded together to achieve a fixing effect. After the first positioning pad and the second positioning pad are unfolded, the above structure can be used to fix them, which can ensure the stability of the relative position of the first positioning pad and the second positioning pad.

[0012] Preferably, the zipper is located between the two sets of first Velcro hooks, and the zipper has an overall "U" shape. This structure allows for easy opening of the bottom of the first or second positioning pad, thus facilitating the installation and removal of the sponge pad.

[0013] Preferably, the first airbag cooperates with the groove on the first positioning pad, and the first airbag has an arc-shaped structure. The arc-shaped structure of the first airbag can easily fit the patient's limbs and ensure the patient's comfort.

[0014] Preferably, the second airbags are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the first positioning pad, and the second airbags are connected to the first airbags through tracheas to achieve the function of guiding air. Through the above mechanism, the gas flow between the second airbags and the first airbags can be facilitated, thereby providing a basic guarantee for the normal use of the device.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the dual-purpose positioning pad after hip replacement surgery maintains the lower limbs in an abducted and neutral position when lying supine, and elevates the lower leg to reduce postoperative edema and promote venous return in the lower limbs. When turning to the healthy side, the second function of the positioning pad is applied, placing the pad between the legs in the lateral position to fix the distance between the legs and maintain stability, avoiding excessive internal rotation, adduction, and excessive hip flexion of the affected limb when lying on the healthy side. The use of this self-made dual-purpose positioning pad enhances patient comfort, reduces hip dislocation complications, and effectively reduces patient pain.

[0016] 1. This dual-purpose positioning pad after hip replacement surgery is equipped with a first hook and loop fastener. When the entire positioning pad is unfolded, the first hook and loop fastener can achieve positioning through the first hook and loop fastener. When the entire positioning pad is closed, the second hook and loop fastener can achieve positioning through the second hook and loop fastener. This ensures that the position of the positioning pad is relatively stable during use and prevents the positioning pad from slipping.

[0017] 2. This dual-purpose positioning pad after hip replacement surgery is equipped with a second air bladder. When the positioning pad is in use, the first air bladder, trachea and the second air bladder facilitate gas flow. In conjunction with the contraction and expansion of the first and second air bladders, a certain clamping force can be provided to the patient's limb, thereby ensuring the stability of the position between the patient's limb and the positioning pad.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a dual-purpose positioning pad after hip replacement surgery, including a first positioning pad 1, a second positioning pad 2 disposed on the right side of the first positioning pad 1, both the first positioning pad 1 and the second positioning pad 2 being filled with sponge pads 8, and zippers 9 fixed to the lower ends of both the first positioning pad 1 and the second positioning pad 2; it also includes: a first hook and loop fastener 4 fixed to the lower end of the first positioning pad 1, a second hook and loop fastener 5 fixed to the right side of the first positioning pad 1; a first hook and loop fastener 6 fixed to the lower end of the second positioning pad 2, a second hook and loop fastener 7 fixed to the left side of the second positioning pad 2, a first airbag 10 fixed to both the second positioning pad 2 and the first positioning pad 1, and a second airbag 12 fixed to both the second positioning pad 2 and the first positioning pad 1.

[0026] Both the first positioning pad 1 and the second positioning pad 2 are provided with arc-shaped grooves, and the dimensions of the first positioning pad 1 and the second positioning pad 2 are equal; the second hook and loop side 5 and the second hook and loop side 7 correspond to each other, and the second hook and loop side 5 and the second hook and loop side 7 are bonded to each other to achieve a fixing effect; the first airbag 10 cooperates with the groove on the first positioning pad 1, and the first airbag 10 has an arc-shaped structure; the second airbag 12 is symmetrically distributed about the center line of the first positioning pad 1, and the second airbag 12 is connected to the first airbag 10 through the air tube 11 to achieve the air guiding effect;

[0027] When using this dual-purpose positioning pad after hip replacement surgery, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, when the patient is lying flat, the entire positioning pad is fixed by attaching the second hook side 5 to the second hook side 7, thus making the entire positioning pad unfolded. The patient's legs are then placed in the grooves on the first positioning pad 1 and the second positioning pad 2 respectively, ensuring the comfort of the patient's legs. When the patient's legs come into contact with the first positioning pad 1 and the second positioning pad 2, the first airbag 10 is subjected to force under the weight of the patient's legs, so that the gas in the first airbag 10 enters the second airbag 12 through the trachea 11. At this time, the first airbag 10 contracts and sinks, and the second airbag 12 collides and bulges. Through the action of the second airbag 12 and the first airbag 10, a certain clamping force can be provided for the patient's legs, effectively ensuring the relative position of the patient's legs with the first positioning pad 1 and the second positioning pad 2, and preventing the patient's legs from slipping and causing pain and discomfort.

[0028] A connecting piece 3 is sewn between the first positioning pad 1 and the second positioning pad 2, and the second positioning pad 2 can be flipped between itself and the first positioning pad 1 through the connecting piece 3; the first hook and loop fasteners 4 are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the first positioning pad 1, and the first hook and loop fasteners 4 and the first hook and loop fasteners 6 are bonded together to achieve a fixing effect; the zipper 9 is located between the two sets of first hook and loop fasteners 4, and the zipper 9 has a U-shaped structure.

[0029] When the patient is in a lateral decubitus position, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second positioning pad 2 can be flipped over by the connecting piece 3. With the adhesive action between the first hook and loop side 4 and the first loop side 6, the shape of the entire positioning pad can be changed. The adhesive action between the first hook and loop side 4 and the first loop side 6 can also ensure the relative position between the first positioning pad 1 and the second positioning pad 2, preventing relative sliding between them. The entire positioning pad is then placed between the patient's legs. Based on the above principle, the stability between the entire device and the patient's legs can be ensured. After long-term use, when it is necessary to wash and dry, the sponge pad 8 can be easily removed by opening the zipper 9, thus facilitating the washing and drying of the first positioning pad 1 and the second positioning pad 2. This is the working principle of this dual-purpose positioning pad after hip replacement surgery.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
