Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of nursing tool technology, specifically relating to an upper limb positioning device after breast cancer surgery. Background Technology
[0002] Breast cancer is a common malignant tumor among women in my country. The latest epidemiological survey report shows that the number of new breast cancer cases is increasing year by year, and the age of onset is trending younger. Surgery plays a major role in the comprehensive treatment of breast cancer. With people's increasing demands for quality of life, breast-conserving surgery has become the preferred treatment method for early-stage breast cancer and some locally advanced breast cancer patients. Most patients require adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery. The choice of surgical method for breast cancer varies in different regions due to differences in medical conditions. In cities with more developed medical conditions and in some other developed areas, due to timely and comprehensive postoperative treatment, the previously used extended ultraradical mastectomy has been completely abandoned, and the classic radical mastectomy is now rarely used. Simple mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection is currently the most common surgical method, and surgery that preserves the pectoralis major muscle while removing the pectoralis minor muscle is also relatively common.
[0003] Postoperative care varies depending on the surgical method. However, regardless of whether it is radical mastectomy, breast-conserving surgery, or breast reconstruction, attention should be paid to the movement of the patient's upper arm. For 1-2 days after surgery, the upper arm should be kept less active, relaxed, and close to the chest wall to promote wound healing. However, when the patient's arm is close to the body, it is not easy to keep it fixed on its own, and friction may occur during movement, which is not conducive to recovery.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need for an upper limb positioning device after breast cancer surgery that can stably position the arm, is easy to operate, and is convenient to care for. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides an upper limb positioning device after breast cancer surgery, which is characterized by convenient operation and good positioning effect.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a postoperative upper limb positioning device for breast cancer, comprising a restraint assembly, the restraint assembly including a connecting plate, a connecting frame, a first restraint strap, and a second restraint strap.

A connecting frame is fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting plate, and a bolt is threadedly connected to the middle of the side wall of the connecting frame. An adjusting plate is inserted into the inner side of the connecting frame, and a positioning hole is provided on the side wall of the adjusting plate. One end of the bolt is inserted into the inner side of the positioning hole. A support pad is fixedly connected to the upper end of the adjusting plate, and a filling plate is inserted into the inner side of the support pad. A third restraint strap is fixed to the side wall of the support pad, and a fourth restraint strap is provided on one side of the third restraint strap.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the upper limb positioning device after breast cancer surgery according to this utility model, the support pad includes a pocket, the pocket is fixed to the top of the adjustment plate, and the filling plate is located inside the pocket.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the upper limb positioning device after breast cancer surgery according to this utility model, the bag includes an arc-shaped support frame and an elastic frame. The arc-shaped support frames are symmetrically arranged, and the elastic frame is fixedly connected to the middle of the arc-shaped support frame.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] In use, this invention features a binding assembly, an adjusting plate, and a support pad. The binding assembly's connecting plate and connecting frame are secured to the patient's waist with two binding straps. The lower end of the adjusting plate is inserted into the inner side of the connecting frame and positioned by screws inserted into multiple positioning holes on the adjusting plate, allowing medical staff to adjust the height of the adjusting plate. A support pad is placed on top of the adjusting plate. When positioning the arm of a patient after breast cancer surgery, the support pad can be moved to a suitable support position, and the binding straps on the support pad can be wrapped around the patient's arm for fixation, thereby achieving arm positioning and preventing the patient's arm from easily shaking and causing wound friction. Furthermore, by setting an adjustable support pad, the fixation height can be adjusted for patients with different surgical conditions, such as fixing the patient's forearm, elbow, or upper arm, making it convenient to operate and providing good support.
[0014] Furthermore, the support pad, consisting of a pocket and filling plates, allows for flexible adjustment of the support distance to the patient's arm. This is achieved by adjusting the number of filling plates inside the pocket to provide positioning support for the patient's arm. This facilitates adjustments based on the patient's actual surgical situation (e.g., the patient's arm needs to maintain a certain distance from the body to avoid compression of the axillary wound), further improving the convenience of nursing procedures.

[0021] 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.
[0022] Example
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides the following technical solution: a postoperative upper limb positioning device for breast cancer, including a restraint assembly 1. The restraint assembly 1 includes a connecting plate 11, a connecting frame 12, a first restraint strap 13, and a second restraint strap 14. The first restraint strap 13 is fixed to one side of the connecting plate 11, and the second restraint strap 14 is provided on one side of the first restraint strap 13. Both the first restraint strap 13 and the second restraint strap 14 are made of elastic material and can stably wrap around the patient's waist for fixation. The connecting frame 12 is fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting plate 11. A bolt 122 is threadedly connected to the middle of the side wall of the connecting frame 12, and an adjusting plate 2 is inserted into the inner side of the connecting frame 12. (See attached drawing for reference.) Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 4 The upper end of the adjusting plate 2 is fixedly connected to a support pad 3. A third binding strap 32 is fixed to the side wall of the support pad 3. A fourth binding strap 33 is provided on one side of the third binding strap 32, which can be used to tie and position the patient's arm. A first Velcro 15 is fixed to the side wall of the second binding strap 14. The first binding strap 13 and the second binding strap 14 have the same structure. A second Velcro 34 is fixed to the side wall of the third binding strap 32. The third binding strap 32 and the fourth binding strap 33 have the same structure. This solution fixes the binding component 1 at the patient's waist, so that the adjusting plate 2 inserted into the inner side of the binding component 1 lifts the support pad 3 between the patient's body and arm. The patient's arm can be tied with the binding strap on the support pad 3 to achieve positioning of the patient's arm. This avoids the patient's arm from rubbing against the wound when moving after breast cancer surgery, which may affect recovery. At the same time, the binding component 1 is tied at the patient's waist and the upper end is fixed to the patient's arm. Unlike conventional operation, there is no need to tie the binding strap to the patient's chest for fixation, which avoids hindering the patient's wound care. It is highly practical.
[0024] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, specifically, the side wall of the adjusting plate 2 is provided with a positioning hole 21, and one end of the bolt 122 is inserted into the inner side of the positioning hole 21 to achieve support and positioning of the adjusting plate 2. The middle of the side wall of the connecting frame 12 is provided with a threaded hole 121, and the bolt 122 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the threaded hole 121. There are multiple positioning holes 21. By setting the adjusting plate 2 which can be adjusted up and down, the support pad 3 can support and position the patient's arm at different heights, which is convenient for flexible adjustment according to the bandaging situation after the patient's surgery.
[0025] Reference Figure 4 As shown, specifically, a filling plate 4 is inserted into the inner side of the support pad 3. This filling plate 4 can be made of an elastic material and is made of a lightweight material. The support pad 3 includes a pocket 31, which is fixed to the top of the adjustment plate 2. The filling plate 4 is located inside the pocket 31. The pocket 31 includes an arc-shaped support frame 311 and an elastic frame 312. The arc-shaped support frame 311 is symmetrically arranged, and the elastic frame 312 is fixedly connected to the middle of the arc-shaped support frame 311. The elastic frame 312 can be elastically stretched, which facilitates the adjustment of the number of filling plates 4 inserted. By adjusting the number of filling plates 4 inserted, the thickness of the support pad 3 can be adjusted, so that the support pad 3 can support the patient's arm outward at a suitable distance. This allows for flexible adjustment according to the patient's actual situation and makes it highly practical.
[0026] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When positioning the arm on the side of the wound for a patient after breast cancer surgery, the connecting plate 11 of the restraint assembly 1 can be tied and fixed to the patient's waist by the first restraint strap 13 and the second restraint strap 14. Then, the adjusting plate 2 is inserted into the inner side of the connecting frame 12 on one side of the connecting plate 11 and supported and positioned by bolts 122. Then, according to the binding of the wound, the height of the adjusting plate 2 is adjusted so that the support pad 3 moves to a suitable height. Then, the patient's arm is fixed by the third restraint strap 32 and the fourth restraint strap 33 on the side wall of the support pad 3, thereby achieving stable positioning of the patient's arm. At the same time, by inserting different numbers of filling plates 4 into the pocket 31 of the support pad 3, the support pad 3 can open the patient's arm to different distances, making nursing operations more convenient.
