Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical assistive devices, and in particular to a newborn positioning aid. Background Technology

[0002] When newborns undergo examinations or treatments, such as ultrasound or CT scans, they need to remain still to prevent image blurring, ensure the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment, and guarantee the accuracy and safety of the examination. Usually, the newborn's head and limbs are properly immobilized to help the newborn maintain a comfortable position, reduce crying and struggling caused by discomfort, and thus reduce stress response during the examination.

[0003] Currently, the most common method on the market is to bind the newborn's limbs with armbands or straps to restrict their position. However, once the position is fixed, if you want to move the limbs or change the fixed position, you need to unbind and rebind them, which is quite troublesome and makes it inconvenient to change the position of the newborn's limbs at will. In addition, some armbands are connected with Velcro, which makes it easy to change the position of the armband, but the Velcro needs to have a large enough area to cover. If the Velcro area is large, the newborn's limbs may come into contact with the rough or prickly side of the Velcro, causing discomfort. Utility Model Content

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] This utility model provides a neonatal positioning aid, including a flexible pad 1, positioning components, and connecting components 4. In order to keep the infant in a stable state during treatment and diagnosis, such as surgery, catheterization, urinary catheterization, X-ray, etc., the positioning components include a head positioning component 2 for fixing the infant's head and a limb positioning component 3 for fixing the limbs. The positioning components are detachably connected to the flexible pad 1 by the connecting components 4. There are multiple connecting components 4. By connecting the positioning components to the connecting components 4 at different positions, the position of the positioning components can be adjusted, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the infant's limbs, making the patient more comfortable and reducing emergency response.

[0025] For details, please refer to Figure 2 The first embodiment provided by this utility model is that the connector 4 includes a connecting loop 41 located below the positioning member and a connecting buckle 42 located on the flexible mat 1. The free end of the connecting loop 41 is a closed loop structure. The positioning member and the flexible mat 1 can be connected by putting the connecting loop 41 on the connecting buckle 42. In order to make the installation stability of the positioning member better and not easy to fall off the flexible mat 1, multiple sets of connecting loops 41 can be provided on the positioning member. In use, the connecting loops 41 can be put on the connecting buckle 42 one by one.

[0026] refer to Figure 3The second embodiment of this utility model provides that the connector 4 includes a buttonhole 401 formed on the flexible mat 1 and a fastener 402 provided on the positioning member. The connection between the positioning member and the flexible mat 1 is achieved by fastening the fastener 402 into the buttonhole 401. Similarly, the number of fasteners 402 can also be set to multiple sets to achieve a stable connection between the positioning member and the flexible mat 1. Although both can achieve the connection between the positioning member and the flexible mat 1, the difference from the first embodiment is that in the second embodiment, the fastener 402 is fastened into the buttonhole 401. Although the fastener 402 can be fastened into the buttonhole 401, the connection between the positioning member and the flexible mat 1 is achieved by fastening the fastener 402 into the buttonhole 401. 02 There is a possibility that the loop may fall off from the buttonhole 401. However, since the buttonhole 401 is made on the flexible padding 1, it may be relatively inconvenient to operate when installing the buckle 402. In the first embodiment, the closed end of the connecting rope loop is connected to the connecting buckle 42, which can be operated with one hand, making it more convenient. However, there may be a risk that the connecting rope loop may fall off the connecting buckle 42. The connecting rope loop can have a certain length, such as about 5cm. After the positioning component is connected to the flexible padding 1, the patient's limbs or head still have a certain degree of freedom and can perform some activities, resulting in better comfort.

[0027] Preferably, the limb positioning component 3 unfolds into a flexible strip shape, and both ends of the limb positioning component 3 are provided with Velcro 5. When positioning the limb, the two ends of the strip-shaped limb positioning component 3 are bonded together by the rough and barbed surfaces of the Velcro 5 to wrap the limb. It can be used to fix limbs of different thicknesses. The larger the overlap area between the rough and barbed surfaces of the Velcro 5, the tighter the wrapping, and vice versa.

[0028] Preferably, the head positioning component 2 is a semi-circular shape with an upward opening, and includes an elastic plate 21 with an internal semi-circular shape and a flexible wrapping component 22 located on the outside of the elastic plate 21. The elastic plate 21 can be made of a spring with a certain elasticity, and the flexible wrapping component 22 is provided with a connecting strap 23. The head is fixed by connecting one end of the connecting strap 23 to the other end of the flexible wrapping component 22. The movable end of the connecting strap 23 can be fixed to the flexible wrapping component 22 with Velcro 5, etc. By pulling the connecting strap 23 to compress and bend the elastic plate 21, the distance of the opening end of the head positioning component 2 is reduced, thereby clamping the patient's head. The flexible wrapping component 22 can be made of a certain thickness of sponge or cotton cloth to avoid injury to the patient's head. An airbag strip can also be provided on the inner circumference of the flexible wrapping component 22 to further increase the protection of the patient's head and improve comfort.

[0029] Preferably, the flexible pad 1 is provided with multiple straps 6. The flexible pad 1 can be made of breathable and comfortable materials such as cotton or silk. When in use, it can be laid on a flat surface such as a hospital bed or operating table. The shape and size of the flexible pad 1 are not limited and can be round or rectangular. In order to improve stability, after the flexible pad 1 is laid, it is fixed by the straps 6 to prevent the flexible pad 1 from wrinkling when the child is stressed and agitated and moves his / her limbs, which would affect the use effect.

[0030] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
