Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical and nursing technology, specifically a shoulder joint abduction brace. Background Technology

[0002] The main function of a shoulder abduction brace is to restrict the abduction movement of the shoulder joint in order to protect and support the shoulder joint. It is a commonly used immobilization method after rotator cuff injury surgery to ensure early healing of the damaged rotator cuff. For patients with shoulder joint diseases treated conservatively, such as minor rotator cuff injuries or frozen shoulder, abduction braces are also commonly used to ensure the recovery of the shoulder joint.

[0003] Currently available shoulder abduction braces consist of three parts: a foam support, a lumbar and cervical fixation strap, and a forearm fixation strap. These braces have several problems: First, the foam support is heavy, and combined with the weight of the arm, it shifts downwards, reducing the shoulder abduction angle and hindering rotator cuff healing. Second, the lumbar and cervical fixation straps are ineffective; the lumbar fixation is prone to anterior and posterior rotation, leading to shoulder flexion and poor fixation. The cervical fixation strap causes excessive pressure and discomfort when the foam support shifts downwards. Third, they are complex to wear, requiring assistance from another person and cannot be performed alone. These issues need improvement to enhance postoperative shoulder brace fixation and increase patient satisfaction.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention designs a shoulder joint abduction brace to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a shoulder abduction brace to address the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the excessive weight of the sponge support, which, combined with the weight of the arm, causes the sponge support to shift downwards, reducing the shoulder abduction angle and failing to achieve the required abduction fixation angle, thus hindering rotator cuff healing; the poor fixation effect of the waist and neck braces, with the waist brace easily rotating forward and backward, leading to shoulder flexion and inadequate fixation; and the neck brace causing excessive pressure and discomfort when the sponge support shifts downwards, and the complex wearing process requiring assistance from others, making it impossible for a single person to complete the task.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a shoulder joint abduction brace, comprising a brace body and a vest, wherein an elastic band is fixedly installed on the side of the vest, the brace body is fixedly installed on the side wall of the vest by the elastic band, an upper arm fixing strap is fixedly installed on the upper side wall of the brace body, and a forearm fixing strap is fixedly installed on the side of the brace body, and the brace body is a hollow mesh.

[0007] Preferably, a first hook and loop fastener is fixedly installed on the front side of the vest, and a first hook and loop fastener is fixedly installed on the front side of the vest, with the first hook and loop fastener and the first hook and loop fastener cooperating.

[0008] Preferably, the main body of the brace has a No. 2 hook and loop fastener fixedly installed on its side wall, and the vest has a No. 2 hook and loop fastener fixedly installed on its side wall, with the No. 2 hook and loop fastener and the No. 2 hook and loop fastener cooperating.

[0009] Preferably, the side of the support body is provided with two No. 1 support frames, and the side of the support body is fixedly and crosswise installed with two No. 2 support frames.

[0010] Preferably, one side of the upper arm fixing strap is a No. 3 hook and loop fastener, and the other side of the upper arm fixing strap is a No. 3 hook and loop fastener. One side of the forearm fixing strap is a No. 4 hook and loop fastener, and the other side of the forearm fixing strap is a No. 14 hook and loop fastener.

[0011] Preferably, the brace body is provided in two parts, which are respectively installed on both sides of the vest.

[0012] Preferably, the first hook and loop fastener's rough side and the first hook and loop fastener's adhesive side are horizontally fixed to the front side of the vest.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This utility model reduces the overall weight of the device by designing the main body of the brace with a hollow mesh surface, making it easier for the wearer to wear. The mesh surface also provides better ventilation, making the wearer more comfortable during use.

[0015] This invention allows the device to be worn on a vest, distributing its weight to the shoulders, reducing pressure on the wearer and making it easier to wear. The Velcro straps on the vest allow for a better fit for people of different heights and builds, making the device highly versatile. Attached Figure Description
