Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical technology, and in particular relates to a forearm support brace. Background Technology

[0002] In clinical treatment, for patients with fractures of the upper limb or acromioclavicular joint, it is necessary to maintain a functional fixation position of the upper limb, both before and after surgery. This position involves flexing the elbow at 90 degrees, keeping the upper arm close to the chest wall, and having the palm facing upward. This position ensures stability of the fracture ends, prevents fracture displacement, and helps relieve swelling in the distal upper limb, as well as reduce pain and pulling sensations caused by gravity. To achieve this fixation position, prolonged use of a forearm suspension brace has become a routine treatment method.

[0003] However, existing forearm suspension braces have some significant design problems. First, the weight-bearing area is mainly concentrated in the neck or shoulder, which puts considerable pressure on this area and can easily cause discomfort, especially for patients with pre-existing cervical spondylosis, further exacerbating their physical burden. Furthermore, this concentrated weight-bearing area may also lead to poor local blood circulation, further affecting treatment effectiveness.

[0004] Secondly, existing braces cause significant discomfort and even pain during donning and doffing. Because putting on and taking off a brace requires forward shoulder extension and the brace fitting through the inner upper arm and chest wall, this action can cause extreme pain, especially for patients with acromioclavicular or humeral fractures, preoperatively. Furthermore, due to treatment needs or daily activities, patients frequently need to put on and take off braces, leading many to avoid using existing braces due to fear of pain. While prolonged bed rest can avoid brace use, it can also cause a series of complications, such as pressure sores and venous thrombosis, severely impacting the patient's recovery process. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a forearm support brace that provides good fixation and is less likely to cause shoulder and neck discomfort.
