The causes of pressure sores include: 1. The local skin is under a large pressure for a long time; 2. Dragging patients who are inconvenient to move will cause friction between their skin and clothes, thereby causing injury; 3. The exudation of sweat will affect the defensive function of the skin, thereby causing pressure sores.

[0003] In order to reduce the harm of pressure sores, technical personnel have invented many pressure sore prevention auxiliary pads (such as the multifunctional air mattress bed disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent Application No. 202321205064.6), and the features of these prior art are that a plurality of cylindrical air bags are arranged on the surface of the pad, and these air bags form a wavy bed surface. Since the air bags have a certain elasticity, when the patient lies on the bed surface, the skin can contact more area, thereby reducing the local pressure on the skin, and thus achieving the technical effect of preventing pressure sores. However, they have the following disadvantages: patients have the need to turn over horizontally (get up) and laterally (turn on the side), and when the cylindrical air bags are fully inflated, the entire mattress is like a bamboo slip and can only be folded in one direction. In order to meet the needs, family members often release some air to meet the needs of the mattress being able to be folded in another direction, and the mattress after deflation becomes soft and cannot support the patient's body to maintain a certain posture. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, provide a pressure sore prevention pad that can facilitate the patient to turn over horizontally and laterally and play a role in supporting the body, thereby further enhancing the technical effect of preventing pressure sores.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] Embodiment 1, refer to attached Figures 1-6 Pressure ulcer prevention pad, characterized by, including spacer, the upper surface of spacer is equipped with vertical air cushion, the lower surface of spacer is equipped with horizontal air cushion.

[0025] The vertical air cushion is composed of a plurality of vertical air bags 6 arranged in parallel, each vertical air bag is provided with a sleeve ring near both ends, and is fixed on the upper surface of the spacer through the sleeve ring, the end of the vertical air bag is provided with an air hole and is connected to the vertical air pipe.

[0027] The vertical air pipe includes a third air pipe 7 and a fourth air pipe 8, the vertical air bags are distributed in cross direction, the odd-numbered columns are upward and connected to the third air pipe, and the even-numbered columns are downward and connected to the fourth air pipe.

[0028] The horizontal air pipe includes a first air pipe 4 and a second air pipe 5, the horizontal air bags are distributed in cross direction, the odd-numbered columns are leftward and connected to the first air pipe, and the even-numbered columns are rightward and connected to the second air pipe.

[0029] The spacer 9 is distributed with a plurality of air holes 9-3, the air holes avoid the horizontal adhesive area 9-1 and the vertical adhesive area 9-2 which are adhered by the sleeve ring.

[0030] The spacer adopts sandwich technology, is formed by upper panel and lower panel hot pressing, is linear hot pressing edge around and leaves joint and fifth air pipe 10 intercommunication, is formed by middle point hot pressing, leaves air passage between panel and is communicated with air hole.

[0031] The spacer, vertical air cushion and horizontal air cushion are arranged in the pad cover 1, the pad cover leaves gap for air pipe, and the pad cover is air permeable material.

[0032] The upper, lower, left and right described in the application are based on the drawings, which is convenient for technical scheme recording and understanding, and the symmetric setting in actual production has equivalent technical effect.

[0033] The air bag in the drawing of the application is appropriately enlarged, and the purpose is to facilitate observation and display, and the air bag will be thinner and smoother in actual production.

[0034] Technical effects of the embodiment:

[0035] The vertical air cushions and the horizontal air cushions are arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the spacer respectively, and the accompanying person can conveniently make the patient maintain different postures by controlling the gas amount of the vertical air cushions and the horizontal air cushions, for example, (1) when the patient needs to maintain a lying posture, the vertical air cushions and the horizontal air cushions are both filled with gas, so that the entire cushion becomes hard and cannot be bent, and the patient can lie down; (2) when the patient needs to maintain a lateral lying posture, the vertical air cushions are filled with gas and the horizontal air cushions are deflated, at this time, the entire cushion can be bent like a reel in the lateral direction, and the accompanying person can make the patient maintain a lateral lying posture by using the triangular cushion as an auxiliary, as shown in FIG. 6; (3) when the patient needs to lift the upper body or the lower body, the horizontal air cushions are filled with gas and the vertical air cushions are deflated, at this time, the entire cushion can be bent like a reel in the horizontal direction, and the accompanying person can make the patient maintain a lifting posture by using the triangular cushion (or a pillow) as an auxiliary, as shown in FIG. 7. Figure 5 Figure 6 The vertical air cushions and the horizontal air cushions are arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the spacer respectively, and the accompanying person can conveniently make the patient maintain different postures by controlling the gas amount of the vertical air cushions and the horizontal air cushions, for example, (1) when the patient needs to maintain a lying posture, the vertical air cushions and the horizontal air cushions are both filled with gas, so that the entire cushion becomes hard and cannot be bent, and the patient can lie down; (2) when the patient needs to maintain a lateral lying posture, the vertical air cushions are filled with gas and the horizontal air cushions are deflated, at this time, the entire cushion can be bent like a reel in the lateral direction, and the accompanying person can make the patient maintain a lateral lying posture by using the triangular cushion as an auxiliary, as shown in FIG. 6; (3) when the patient needs to lift the upper body or the lower body, the horizontal air cushions are filled with gas and the vertical air cushions are deflated, at this time, the entire cushion can be bent like a reel in the horizontal direction, and the accompanying person can make the patient maintain a lifting posture by using the triangular cushion (or a pillow) as an auxiliary, as shown in FIG. 7.

[0036] The biggest advantage of this columnar air bag is that it is relatively hard when filled with gas, and the entire cushion will be bent when bent, and there will be no soft phenomenon (such as the phenomenon that the upper body is turned over when the patient is turned over on one side, and the lower body is not turned over), thus being beneficial to the accompanying person to help the patient change the posture, maintain the posture, and prevent the occurrence of pressure sores.

[0037] In addition, the accompanying person can control the degree of bending of the entire cushion by changing the gas amount of the vertical air cushions and the horizontal air cushions, for example, when the patient is lying on one side, the vertical air cushions are filled with gas and the horizontal air cushions are half-filled with gas, so that the resistance of the cushion to lateral bending will increase, and the bending can only be performed within a certain range, and the accompanying person can use it flexibly according to the needs of the patient.

[0038] The advantage of the cross distribution of the vertical air bags is that the accompanying person can reduce the damage to the skin of the patient caused by continuous high pressure by alternately using the air bags, for example, the odd-numbered columns are filled with gas and the even-numbered columns are appropriately deflated, so that the body of the patient is mainly supported by the odd-numbered columns, and after a certain period of time, the odd-numbered columns are appropriately deflated and the even-numbered columns are filled with gas, so that the body of the patient is mainly supported by the even-numbered columns, and the skin position corresponding to the odd-numbered columns is relieved. The cross distribution of the horizontal air bags is the same.

[0039] ​And, controlling the inflation degree of different vertical air bags and horizontal air bags can obtain different experiences, for example, closing the even columns of vertical air bags and horizontal air bags and the odd columns of half-inflated vertical air bags and horizontal air bags, the patient can experience a kind of "water bed" massage experience of a checkered pattern and rocking. Therefore, the device is not only convenient for the patient to turn over, but also a kind of massage pad that increases the different body sensations of the patient, which can improve the mood of the patient and is beneficial to rehabilitation.

[0040] The air holes in the partition pad are beneficial to the circulation of gas, keep the skin dry, and avoid pressure sores caused by sweat seepage. When inflation is performed through the fifth air pipe, the gas seeps out of the air holes through the partition pad interlayer, which can further enhance the air permeability effect and keep the skin dry.

[0041] The first, second, third, fourth and fifth air pipes can be provided with five independent air holes on the air pump. Three independent air holes can also be provided, the first and second air pipes are connected to one of the air holes through a three-way valve, the third and fourth air pipes are connected to one of the air holes through a three-way valve, and the fifth air pipe is connected to the last air hole. A five-way valve can also be used with a common air pump, and five air pipes are connected respectively. There are related prior art for single-hole, three-hole and multi-hole air pumps.

[0042] The device is easy to maintain. If the air bag leaks or is damaged, only the original air bag needs to be ordered from the manufacturer, and then the new air bag is connected to the corresponding air pipe through the sleeve ring. Since the air bags on the air pipe are connected, the air pressure will quickly inflate the new air pipe to keep it consistent with other air bags.

[0043] Embodiment 2, see attached Figures 7-9 Pressure ulcer prevention pad, characterized in that, based on embodiment 1, the vertical air bag 6 and the horizontal air bag are connected by a plurality of air bag units 6-1.

[0044] The air bag of the present scheme is connected by a plurality of shorter air bag units. Compared with the columnar air bag in embodiment 1, this point-like support has better massage effect.
