Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of postoperative braces, and in particular to a postoperative brace for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Background Technology

[0002] Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction is a surgical procedure used to treat injuries to the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) of the knee joint. The PCL is an important structure connecting the femur and tibia, stabilizing the knee joint and preventing excessive anterior movement of the tibia. When the PCL is damaged or torn, it can lead to knee instability, pain, and dysfunction. Postoperative recovery typically takes several months, including physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises to restore muscle strength, joint stability, and motor function. However, during postoperative recovery, the ligaments in the leg are often taut when the patient lies flat, increasing the burden on the ligaments, hindering recovery, and prolonging the recovery period. Therefore, we have introduced a brace for postoperative use after PCL reconstruction. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a brace for postoperative use after posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A brace for use after posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction includes a connecting base plate and a blanket disposed on top of it. Four No. 1 Velcro loops are fixedly connected to the front of the outer surface of the connecting base plate, and four tightening straps are fixedly connected to the rear of the outer surface of the connecting base plate. Each of the four tightening straps has a No. 1 Velcro hook attached. The four tightening straps are bonded to the four No. 1 Velcro loops via the four No. 1 Velcro hooks. The connecting base plate has a U-shaped structure. A No. 1 lifting device is bonded to the left side of the inner wall of the connecting base plate, and a No. 2 lifting device is bonded to the right side of the inner wall of the connecting base plate. The No. 2 lifting device has the same structure as the No. 1 lifting device.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting base plate is made of hard plastic, which facilitates the support of the No. 2 lifting device and the No. 1 lifting device.

[0007] Preferably, the first lifting device includes a first soft pad, which has a "U" shaped structure. A second soft pad is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first soft pad, which also has a "U" shaped structure. A second Velcro surface is fixedly connected to both the front and rear of the outer surface of the first soft pad.

[0008] Preferably, the thickness of the first soft pad is less than the thickness of the second soft pad.

[0009] Preferably, the lower part of the outer surface of the connecting base plate has several through-holes, and the several through-holes are evenly distributed. The left and right sides of the inner wall of the connecting base plate are fixedly connected to two No. 2 Velcro hooks.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the ventilation holes can facilitate air circulation and avoid the problem of poor ventilation during summer use.

[0011] Preferably, the lower part of the outer surface of the connecting base plate has a planar structure.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the lower part of the outer surface of the connecting base plate is flat, which can prevent it from shaking and easily tilting.

[0013] Preferably, the first soft pad is bonded to the two second hook and loop surfaces via two second hook and loop fasteners.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In this invention, the No. 1 lifting device is bonded to the two No. 2 Velcro hooks on the left side of the connecting base plate, and the No. 2 lifting device is bonded to the two No. 2 Velcro hooks on the right side of the connecting base plate. After the patient's leg is placed inside the connecting base plate, the No. 1 lifting device elevates the ligaments in the patient's popliteal fossa, while the No. 2 lifting device elevates the patient's ankle, thus relaxing the ligaments in the popliteal fossa and ankle, which is beneficial for recovery. By opening several ventilation holes at the lower end of the connecting base plate, ventilation can be facilitated. Covering the patient's leg and the connecting base plate with a blanket can provide warmth, making it convenient for use in winter. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] A brace for postoperative use after posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction includes a connecting base plate 1 and a blanket 4 placed on top of it. Four No. 1 Velcro loops 5 are fixedly connected to the front of the outer surface of the connecting base plate 1, and four tightening straps 2 are fixedly connected to the rear of the outer surface of the connecting base plate 1. Each of the four tightening straps 2 is fixedly connected to a No. 1 Velcro hook 3. The four tightening straps 2 are bonded to the four No. 1 Velcro loops 5 through the four No. 1 Velcro hook 3. The connecting base plate 1 has a "U" shaped structure. A No. 1 lifting device 6 is bonded to the left side of the inner wall of the connecting base plate 1, and a No. 2 lifting device 7 is bonded to the right side of the inner wall of the connecting base plate 1. The No. 2 lifting device 7 has the same structure as the No. 1 lifting device 6.

[0025] In this embodiment, the first lifting device 6 includes a first soft pad 61, which has a "U"-shaped structure. A second soft pad 62 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first soft pad 61. The second soft pad 62 also has a "U"-shaped structure. A second hook and loop fastener 63 is fixedly connected to both the front and rear of the outer surface of the first soft pad 61. The thickness of the first soft pad 61 is less than the thickness of the second soft pad 62. Several through-holes 12 are opened on the lower part of the outer surface of the connecting base plate 1. The several through-holes 12 are evenly distributed. Two second hook and loop fasteners 11 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the connecting base plate 1. The lower part of the outer surface of the connecting base plate 1 is a planar structure. The first soft pad 61 is bonded to the two second hook and loop fasteners 11 through the two second hook and loop fasteners 63.

[0026] The above solution involves attaching the first lifting device 6 and the second lifting device 7 to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the connecting base plate 1, respectively. This allows the first lifting device 6 to support the patient's popliteal ligaments, and the second lifting device 7 to support the patient's ankle ligaments, while the lower leg is partially suspended. This relaxes the ligaments and improves the comfort of the lower leg. By attaching the tightening band 2 to the first Velcro patch 5, sliding displacement between the connecting base plate 1 and the patient's leg can be prevented.

[0027] It should be noted that this utility model describes a brace for postoperative use after posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The first lifting device 6 is precisely adhered to two second-order Velcro hooks 11 on the left side of the inner wall of the connecting base plate 1. Simultaneously, the second lifting device 7 is also securely attached to the corresponding two second-order Velcro hooks 11 on the right side of the inner wall of the base plate 1. After the patient's leg is placed inside the connecting base plate 1, the first lifting device 6 elevates the patient's popliteal fossa area, effectively raising and supporting the ligaments there; while the second lifting device 7 elevates the ankle area. The combined effect of both devices promotes full relaxation of the ligaments in the popliteal fossa and ankle, greatly accelerating the recovery process. Furthermore, several ventilation holes 12 are located at the bottom of the connecting base plate 1. These ventilation holes 12 not only optimize airflow and improve comfort but also prevent stuffiness that may occur with prolonged use. The soft blanket 4 is gently placed over the patient's legs and the connecting base plate 1, which not only provides warmth but also enhances ease of use, making it especially suitable for rehabilitation needs in winter environments.

[0028] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
