Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary technology, specifically to an auxiliary device that facilitates insulin injection. Background Technology
[0002] To enhance the comprehensive management of diabetic patients, five treatment methods are generally used simultaneously. These include: diet therapy, exercise therapy, medication, diabetes education, and self-monitoring of blood glucose. Insulin injection is one aspect of medication therapy. Administering insulin therapy to diabetic patients can help them quickly lower and maintain stable blood glucose levels, reducing the damage caused by high blood sugar to organs such as the heart, liver, lungs, brain, and kidneys, and decreasing the occurrence of complications.
[0003] In clinical practice, it is common to find patients who are injecting insulin to develop subcutaneous nodules in their abdomen, infection and bruising at the injection site, and subcutaneous fat atrophy. The main reason for this is incorrect or accidental injection, resulting in subcutaneous nodules due to improper injection. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an auxiliary device that facilitates insulin injection, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary device for facilitating insulin injection, comprising a device body, a through hole on the upper back of the device body, a color-differentiating strip connected to the upper surface of the outer surface of the device body, a first differentiating plate, a second differentiating plate and a handle respectively connected to the middle of the outer surface of the device body, and date-differentiating blocks connected to the outer surfaces of the first differentiating plate and the second differentiating plate, and a groove on the outer surface of the handle.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the device body is placed on the abdomen by grasping the handle, with the handle corresponding to the navel. Then, the insulin needle can be placed in the through-hole for insulin injection treatment. The through-hole is designed to facilitate the determination of the injection area. The arrow-shaped groove points to the direction of the date markings to determine the placement direction of the device, further avoiding mis-injection and improving safety. The seven rainbow colors on the color-coded strips correspond to the text of Monday to Sunday of the previous week on the date markings, thus determining which location should be injected on that day. For example, if an insulin injection is required on Monday, it corresponds to the red color-coded strip or the date marking with the word "Monday," so the insulin injection should be given to the upper left abdomen. At the same time, the through-hole corresponding to the white first marking plate is for morning injection, and the through-hole corresponding to the black second marking plate is for evening injection. Since Monday corresponds to the first marking plate, the insulin injection on Monday should be given to the upper left abdomen in the morning.
[0007] Furthermore, there are seven through holes, seven color-differentiating strips, and seven date-differentiating blocks, and these seven through holes, color-differentiating strips, and date-differentiating blocks are arranged in a circular array.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the seven rainbow colors on the color-differentiating strip correspond to the text of Monday to Sunday of the previous day in the date-differentiating block, thereby determining which position should be injected on that day. If the injection date is Monday, then the patient should insert the insulin injection needle into the through hole corresponding to the red color-differentiating strip or the date-differentiating block with the word "Monday" for injection.
[0009] Furthermore, the seven color-differentiating bars are red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, respectively.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, red corresponds to Monday, orange to Tuesday, yellow to Wednesday, green to Thursday, cyan to Friday, blue to Saturday, and purple to Sunday, making it easier to find the area that should be injected on that day.
[0011] Furthermore, each of the seven date-separating blocks has text on it.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the seven date blocks are labeled with the words Monday to Sunday, making it easier for patients to quickly find the area that should be injected on that day.
[0013] Furthermore, the main body of the device is flower-shaped, and the through holes are petal-shaped, and the main body of the device is made of latex material.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the main body of the equipment is usually formed into a flower, and the seven color-coded stripes of the rainbow create the appearance of a rainbow flower, increasing its aesthetic appeal.
[0015] Furthermore, the first dividing plate is white, and the second dividing plate is black.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the groove corresponding to the first partition plate is injected in the morning, while the groove corresponding to the second partition plate is injected at night.
[0017] Furthermore, the groove is arrow-shaped.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the placement direction of the main body of the device is determined by pointing the arrow to the patient's head, thus avoiding errors in injection position caused by different placement directions of the main body of the device each time.
[0019] Furthermore, a positioning block is fixed in the middle of the back of the main body of the device.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning block is aligned with the patient's navel when the main body of the device is placed, so as to facilitate the determination of the device's placement position.
[0021] Furthermore, the positioning block is hemispherical and made of latex material.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning block is hemispherical, which makes it easy to fit the navel, and the latex material is soft and comfortable, avoiding causing great discomfort to the patient's navel.
[0023] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0024] 1. This utility model uses color-coded dividing strips, a first dividing plate, a second dividing plate, and date dividing blocks. The seven rainbow colors on the color-coded dividing strips correspond to the text on the date dividing blocks from Monday to Sunday of the previous week, thus determining which injection site should be injected on a given day. For example, if an insulin injection is required on Monday, it corresponds to the red color-coded dividing strip or the date dividing block with the word "Monday," indicating that the insulin injection should be administered to the upper left abdomen. Simultaneously, the white opening on the first dividing plate corresponds to morning injections, and the black opening on the second dividing plate corresponds to evening injections. Since Monday corresponds to the first dividing plate, the insulin injection on Monday should be administered to the upper left abdomen in the morning. This reduces the risk of incorrect, missed, or accidental insulin injections, and also lowers the risk of subcutaneous induration caused by improper insulin injections in diabetic patients, as well as reducing complications such as injection site infection, bruising, and subcutaneous fat atrophy.
[0025] 2. This utility model, through the design of the device body, through hole, and handle, allows the user to grasp the handle and place the device body on the abdomen, with the handle corresponding to the navel. Then, the insulin needle can be placed in the through hole for insulin injection treatment. The through hole facilitates the determination of the injection area and makes it convenient to use.
[0026] 3. This utility model, through the setting of date divider blocks and grooves, uses arrow-shaped grooves to point to the direction of the text in the date divider blocks to determine the placement direction of the device, further avoiding misprinting and erroneous printing, improving security; and making it easy to identify whether the device is placed in the correct direction.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0033] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure. Example
[0034] An assistive device to facilitate insulin injection, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a main body 1 made of latex material, which is soft, comfortable, and skin-friendly, reducing discomfort. A first dividing plate 4, a second dividing plate 5, and a handle 7 are connected to the middle of the outer surface of the main body 1, facilitating gripping. A groove 8, arrow-shaped, is formed on the outer surface of the handle 7, allowing for easy determination of the device's placement direction. The first dividing plate 4 is white, and the second dividing plate 5 is black, making it easy to determine whether injection is in the morning or evening. Date dividing blocks 6 are connected to the outer surfaces of both the first and second dividing plates 4 and 5. A through-hole 2 is located on the upper back of the main body 1, which is flower-shaped, while the through-hole 2 is petal-shaped. A color-coded dividing strip 3 is connected to the upper outer surface of the main body 1, using both color and text to facilitate identification of the injection location. This reduces the risk of incorrect, missed, or accidental insulin injections, lowers the risk of subcutaneous induration caused by improper insulin injection in diabetic patients, and reduces complications such as injection site infection, bruising, and subcutaneous fat atrophy.
[0035] See Figures 1-4 In the above embodiment, there are seven through holes 2, seven color-separating strips 3, and seven date-separating blocks 6. The seven through holes 2, seven color-separating strips 3, and seven date-separating blocks 6 are arranged in a circular array. The colors of the seven color-separating strips 3 are red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, respectively. The seven date-separating blocks 6 are all provided with text to facilitate the determination of the injection location and injection time period. Example
[0036] Based on the above embodiment one, the following settings are now adopted to facilitate the determination of the installation location.
[0037] See Figure 3In the above embodiment, a positioning block 9 is fixed in the middle of the back of the main body 1 of the device. The positioning block 9 is hemispherical and fits against the patient's navel to facilitate the determination of the device's placement position. The positioning block 9 is made of latex material, which is soft, comfortable and skin-friendly, reducing discomfort.
[0038] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the patient grasps the handle 7 and places the main body 1 of the device on the abdomen, with the handle 7 corresponding to the navel. At the same time, the positioning block 9 is attached to the patient's navel to facilitate determining the placement position of the device. Then, the patient rotates the handle 7 to rotate the main body 1 of the device. The patient can check the direction of the arrow-shaped groove 8 pointing to the text on the date distinguishing block 6 to determine the placement direction of the device, thereby adjusting the orientation of the main body 1 of the device to be correct.
[0039] During injection, the patient uses the seven rainbow colors on the color-coded strip 3 to correspond to the text on the date-coded block 6 indicating Monday through Sunday of the previous week, thus determining the injection site for that day. The white hole 2 on the first coded block 4 corresponds to morning injections, and the black hole 2 on the second coded block 5 corresponds to evening injections. If the injection date is Monday, the patient should insert the insulin needle into the hole 2 corresponding to the red color-coded strip 3 or the date-coded block 6 marked "Monday." Since Monday corresponds to the first coded block 4, Monday should be the morning injection in the upper left abdomen. Figure 4 As shown in the image.
