Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of prone position pad technology, and in particular to a prone position pad for children after fundus surgery. Background Technology
[0002] After pediatric retinal surgery, the patient needs to maintain a prone position as instructed by the doctor. The prone position typically refers to the child lying face down, roughly parallel to the ground, to facilitate postoperative recovery. This position helps the silicone oil or gas filler maintain its proper position within the eye, promoting retinal repositioning and healing. For children who have undergone silicone oil tamponade, the prone position needs to be maintained for approximately 3 months post-surgery. For those who have undergone vitrectomy, this position should be maintained for 12-16 hours or more daily. The longer the prone position is maintained after pediatric retinal surgery, the better the results. Common prone positions include prone in bed, head-down sitting, head-down standing, and prone while walking.
[0003] Children who have undergone fundus surgery are naturally active and restless. Keeping them in the same position for a long time can easily lead to boredom, poor adherence to medical advice, and poor postoperative recovery. Although traditional prone positioning mats can provide some comfort, most of them are designed only for the prone position in bed and lack other usage scenarios for postoperative children. Therefore, this utility model provides a pediatric prone positioning mat for fundus surgery to meet the needs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a prone position pad for children after fundus surgery, so as to solve the problem that most traditional prone position pads are only suitable for the prone position in bed and lack other usage scenarios for postoperative children.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A pediatric prone positioning pad after fundus surgery includes a face pad with a chin pad attached to it and a forehead pad placed at the open end of the face pad; and a support component for helping the child maintain a correct face-down position parallel to the ground, the support component being connected to the face pad.
[0007] Optionally, the support assembly includes a chin pad that snaps into the inside of the face pad, a second steering knuckle fixedly connected to the bottom of the chin pad, a telescopic rod fixedly connected to one end of the second steering knuckle, a first steering knuckle fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod, and a forehead pad fixedly connected to one end of the first steering knuckle.
[0008] Optionally, the chin pad has a U-shaped structure, with both ends of the chin pad curving towards the forehead pad, and the outer contour of the chin pad is rounded.
[0009] Optionally, one end of the face pad is open, the other end of the face pad has an arc-shaped contour that matches the outer contour of the chin pad, and the open end of the face pad has an arc-shaped contour that matches the outer contour of the forehead pad.
[0010] Optionally, the bottom of the face pad is symmetrically provided with first arc-shaped grooves, and the two first arc-shaped grooves are interconnected.
[0011] Optionally, the opposite surfaces of the face pad each have an arc curving toward the center of the face pad.
[0012] Optionally, the center of both sides of the forehead pad has an inwardly curved arc, and the center of the bottom of the forehead pad is fixedly connected to the first steering knuckle.
[0013] Optionally, both the first steering knuckle and the second steering knuckle include two rotatably connected rods, one of which rotates about the other, and both the first steering knuckle and the second steering knuckle are fixedly connected with locking elements.
[0014] Optionally, a power switch and a playback control are fixedly connected to the outer side of the forehead pad. The outer contour of the power switch is circular, and the outer contour of the playback control is octagonal.
[0015] Optionally, the thickness of the face pad is greater than the thickness of the forehead pad and the thickness of the chin pad.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0017] In the above solution, by setting up support components, not only can the shape of the prone position mat be quickly changed to achieve switching between different usage scenarios, but it can also provide a comfortable support effect for the child's head. The internal structures of the support components are interlocked and complementary in function. The telescopic rod and steering knuckle of the support components are made of ABS plastic, which is inexpensive, lightweight, and easy to manufacture.
[0018] By incorporating a face pad, the chin pad can be secured using the face pad's own curvature. Furthermore, the forehead and chin pads work together to form an ergonomic prone mat that conforms to the child's facial contours, improving comfort and reducing discomfort during prone positioning. The face pad's bottom features a first arc-shaped groove to increase breathability, reducing heat and moisture buildup and preventing stuffiness. In addition, the face pad is made of soft, breathable memory foam, providing a comfortable prone experience and reducing the risk of pressure sores or other complications from prolonged prone positioning, significantly enhancing its practicality.
[0019] By incorporating forehead and chin pads, these pads can be completely separated from the face pad, allowing for independent use in head-down sitting, head-down standing, and walking / prone positions. The relative positions of the forehead and chin pads can be adjusted to suit various scenarios. When the chin pad acts as a bottom support, its U-shaped structure significantly increases the contact area, contributing to stability. When the child is sitting, the two ends of the chin pad face downwards and can be secured to the child's thighs, with the second curved groove of the chin pad contacting the legs. Compared to a flat pad, this design better conforms to the contours of the human body, thus improving the comfort of the child's head resting on the forehead pad surface.
[0020] By incorporating a telescopic rod and a steering knuckle, the distance between the forehead pad and chin pad can be adjusted using the telescopic rod to accommodate children of different ages. The angle of the forehead pad and chin pad can be changed using the conversion head to adapt to different usage scenarios, thus improving the practical value of this sleeping pad and making the use of the forehead pad and chin pad more convenient.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a prone position pad for children after fundus surgery, including a face pad 1, a chin pad 3 attached to the face pad 1, and a forehead pad 2 placed at the open end of the face pad 1; a support component, which helps the child maintain the correct position with their face down and basically parallel to the ground. The support component is connected to the face pad 1. The prone position pad provided by this application is mainly composed of the support component and the face pad 1. The face pad 1 is mainly responsible for supporting the child's face when the child is in a prone position on the bed. The support component is used to adapt to different usage scenarios. The combination of the two can not only quickly change the shape of the prone position pad to realize the switching of different usage scenarios, but also provide a comfortable support effect for the child's head. The internal structure of the support component is functionally interlocked and complementary. The telescopic rod 4 and the steering knuckle of the support component are made of ABS plastic, which is inexpensive, lightweight, and easy to manufacture.
[0037] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the support assembly includes a chin pad 3 that snaps into the inner side of the face pad 1. A second steering knuckle 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the chin pad 3. A telescopic rod 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the second steering knuckle 402. A first steering knuckle 401 is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod 4. A forehead pad 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the first steering knuckle 401. Specifically, both the first steering knuckle 401 and the second steering knuckle 402 are formed by rotating two rods. Taking the first steering knuckle 401 as an example, one end of the first rod of the first steering knuckle 401 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the forehead pad 2, and the other end of the first rod is connected to the second rod. One end of the first steering knuckle 401 is rotatably connected by a pivot pin, and the other end of the second rod is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod 4. A locking element is provided on the first steering knuckle 401 to facilitate changing the angle and locking after changing the angle. The second steering knuckle 402 is similar to the first steering knuckle 401. The steering knuckle and its working principle are both existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. By pressing the button on the telescopic rod 4, the straight rod inserted inside the telescopic rod 4 can be stretched. Releasing the button will limit the straight rod, which facilitates the adjustment of the length of the telescopic rod 4. The telescopic rod 4 and its working principle are both existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the face pad 1 is open at one end, and the inner side of the other end of the face pad 1 has an arc-shaped contour that matches the outer contour of the chin pad 3. The open end of the face pad 1 has an arc-shaped contour that matches the outer contour of the forehead pad 2. The bottom of the face pad 1 has symmetrically formed first arc-shaped grooves 101, and the two first arc-shaped grooves 101 are interconnected. The opposite surfaces of the face pad 1 have an arc curving towards the center of the face pad 1. The thickness of the face pad 1 is greater than the thickness of the forehead pad 2 and the chin pad 3. The open design at one end of the face pad 1 facilitates adjustment of the spacing of the forehead pad 2. The internal cavity formed by the face pad 1 ensures the exposure of the eyes, mouth, and nose, facilitating observation while maintaining unobstructed breathing and reducing discomfort for the child. By using the face pad 1 to secure the chin pad 3, the curvature of the face pad 1 not only helps to fix the chin pad 3 in place, but also, with the cooperation of the forehead pad 2 and the chin pad 3, an ergonomic prone mat is formed. This mat conforms to the child's facial curves, improving comfort and reducing discomfort during prone positioning. The bottom of the face pad 1 has a first arc-shaped groove 101 to increase breathability, reducing heat and moisture buildup and preventing the child from feeling stuffy. In addition, the face pad 1 is made of soft and breathable memory foam, providing a comfortable prone experience for the child and reducing the risk of pressure sores or other complications caused by prolonged prone positioning, greatly improving its practicality.
[0039] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the chin pad 3 has a U-shaped structure, with both ends curving towards the forehead pad 2. The outer contour of the chin pad 3 is rounded. The center of both sides of the forehead pad 2 has an inward curvature. The center of the bottom of the forehead pad 2 is fixedly connected to the first steering knuckle 401. A power switch 201 and a playback control 202 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the forehead pad 2. The outer contour of the power switch 201 is circular, and the outer contour of the playback control 202 is octagonal. When the chin pad 3 is used to support the chin (e.g. Figures 1 to 4 As shown), the second arc-shaped groove 301 facilitates the placement of the face and conforms to the arc-shaped features of the face. When the chin pad 3 serves as a support base (as shown), Figure 5 As shown), the U-shaped chin pad 3 increases the contact area with the support surface, ensuring the sturdiness of the support. When a suitable support surface is unavailable, the chin pad 3 can also be placed directly on the child's thigh while the child is sitting, with the second arc-shaped groove 301 of the chin pad 3 contacting the leg (as shown). Figure 6As shown, a power switch 201 and a playback control 202 are fixedly connected to the outside of the forehead pad 2 to increase the fun of the mat. The playback control 202 can play nursery rhymes or fairy tales. Electronic components built into the forehead pad 2 are electrically connected to the power switch 201 and playback control 202 to add more fun and alleviate the discomfort of the child. The control and playback of the sound source by the electronic components are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. By setting the forehead pad 2 and chin pad 3, the forehead pad 2 and chin pad 3 can be completely separated from the face pad 1. It is independently applicable to head-down sitting, head-down standing, and walking / prone positions. The relative positional relationship between the forehead pad 2 and the chin pad 3 can be changed to adapt to more scenarios. When the chin pad 3 is used as a bottom support, its U-shaped structure greatly increases the contact area, which helps to stabilize the support. When the child is sitting, the two ends of the chin pad 3 face down and can be placed on the child's thighs. The second arc groove 301 of the chin pad 3 contacts the legs. Compared with a flat pad, this pad is more compatible with the contour of the human body, thereby improving the comfort of the child's head placed on the surface of the forehead pad 2.
[0040] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, both the first steering knuckle 401 and the second steering knuckle 402 include two rotatably connected rods, one of which rotates around the other. Locking devices are fixedly connected to both the first steering knuckle 401 and the second steering knuckle 402. Utilizing the working principle of the steering knuckle and telescopic rod 4 mentioned above, the forehead pad 2 and the chin pad 3 can change their relative position by adjusting the steering knuckle, making it convenient to change the height and angle of the forehead pad 2 and the chin pad 3. This addresses the problem that children who are naturally active and restless after fundus surgery are prone to boredom and poor adherence to medical advice if they maintain the same position for a long time, resulting in poor postoperative recovery. By setting the telescopic rod 4 and the steering knuckle, the distance between the forehead pad 2 and the chin pad 3 can be adjusted using the telescopic rod 4 to accommodate children of different ages. The angle of the forehead pad 2 and the chin pad 3 can be changed using the conversion head to adapt to different usage scenarios, improving the practical value of this pad and making the use of the forehead pad 2 and the chin pad 3 more convenient.
[0041] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0042] In use, the positional relationship between the forehead pad 2 and the chin pad 3 can be changed by adjusting the angles of the first steering knuckle 401 and the second steering knuckle 402. The distance or height between the forehead pad 2 and the chin pad 3 can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the telescopic rod 4 to adapt to the needs of different usage scenarios and provide comfortable support for children of different ages. When the child is lying prone on the bed, the forehead pad 2 and the chin pad 3 form a U-shaped support with the telescopic rod 4. The telescopic rod 4 is placed on the bed surface, and the end of the face pad 1 that matches the outer contour of the chin pad 3 is aligned with the position of the chin pad 3 and pressed down, so that the face pad 1 and the support component are combined to form a prone pad that conforms to the ergonomic principle. The position of the forehead pad 2 can be adjusted by the telescopic rod 4 to fit the child's facial curve, improve the comfort when lying prone, and reduce discomfort. The bottom of the face pad 1 has a first arc-shaped groove 101 to increase breathability, reduce the accumulation of heat and moisture, and prevent the child from feeling stuffy.
[0043] When the child is in a head-down sitting position, flip the chin pad 3 and forehead pad 2. The first steering knuckle 401, the second steering knuckle 402, and the telescopic rod 4 remain vertical. At this time, the chin pad 3 is a U-shaped support base. The height can be adjusted by the telescopic rod 4 to suit different support surfaces. Alternatively, the chin pad 3 can be flipped downwards, with both ends facing down, to fit around the child's thighs. The second arc-shaped groove 301 of the chin pad 3 contacts the legs. The steering knuckle adjustment is equipped with locking parts, which facilitates angle adjustment while ensuring the overall structural stability, improving convenience and practicality.
[0044] When standing or lying prone with the head down, keeping the first steering knuckle 401, second steering knuckle 402, and telescopic rod 4 vertical, the child can hold the chin pad 3 and use the forehead pad 2 to support their head, reducing discomfort in the cervical spine from prolonged head-down posture. The curved chin pad 3 is easy for the child to hold. The face pad 1, forehead pad 2, and chin pad 3 in this prone mat are all made of soft and breathable memory foam, providing a comfortable prone experience for the child and reducing pressure sores or other complications that may occur due to prolonged prone posture, greatly improving practicality. The telescopic rod 4 and steering knuckle of the support components are made of ABS plastic, which is inexpensive, lightweight, and easy to manufacture.

To provide the public with a thorough understanding of this utility model, specific details are described in detail in the preferred embodiments; however, those skilled in the art can fully understand this utility model without these details. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.
[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
