Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a leg support for orthopedic patients for nursing care. Background Technology
[0002] A leg fracture is a lower limb fracture. Patients with lower limb fractures cannot walk immediately after surgery and need to stay in bed for a period of time. During this period, the leg needs to be supported by a brace, and the leg should be cleaned and cared for regularly by applying medication and massaging to facilitate rapid recovery of the leg fracture.
[0003] Existing nursing leg supports elevate the patient's legs by lifting the ankles, facilitating dressing changes and cleaning. However, in practice, during dressing changes or cleaning, medication and cleaning water flow down the patient's tilted legs, wetting clothes and blankets if not promptly addressed, affecting patient comfort. Currently, caregivers typically clean these areas manually with towels, which undoubtedly increases their workload. Therefore, this application provides a nursing leg support for orthopedic patients to meet this need. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a leg support for orthopedic patients to solve the problem that liquid generated during the care process of existing leg supports will flow down the tilted leg and wet the clothes.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A leg support for orthopedic patients includes a support sleeve with a mounting ring fixedly connected to its bottom end. A bolt assembly is inserted into the mounting ring. A first inner rod is slidably connected to the inner side of the support sleeve, and a first positioning element is provided inside the first inner rod. The first positioning element is inserted into the inside of the support sleeve. A movable base is rotatably connected to the inner side of the first inner rod, and a support plate is fixedly connected to the top of the movable base. A flow-blocking assembly is used to stop and recover the fluid flowing in the leg during leg care, and the flow-blocking assembly is connected to the movable base.
[0007] Optionally, the flow-blocking assembly includes a connecting rod inserted into the movable base, and a second inner rod is slidably connected to the inner side of the connecting rod.
[0008] Optionally, one end of the connecting rod is threaded with a fixing nut, and the second inner rod is provided with a second positioning member inside the connecting rod.
[0009] Optionally, one end of the second inner rod is fixedly connected to a limiting frame, which is an elastic structure.
[0010] Optionally, a flow-blocking element is fixedly connected to the inner side of the limiting frame.
[0011] Optionally, a housing is fixedly connected to the outer side of the flow-blocking element.
[0012] Optionally, the flow-blocking component has a flow-draining hole inside, and the flow-draining hole is connected to the housing.
[0013] Optionally, a flow guide ridge is fixedly connected to the inner side of the housing, and the number of the flow guide ridges is set to multiple, which are evenly distributed at equal intervals.
[0014] Optionally, a storage shell is fitted onto the bottom of the housing, and a buckle is fixedly connected to one side of the housing.
[0015] Optionally, the latch is an elastic structure that engages with the interior of the storage casing.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0017] In the above solution, by setting up a flow-blocking component, when caring for a patient's fractured leg, the flow-blocking component is installed and adjusted to a suitable position to avoid obstructing the care process. By making the leg fit snugly against the flow-blocking component, the special shape and soft material of the component can greatly adapt to different leg shapes, allowing it to fit snugly against the leg and thus blocking the flow of liquid. When some liquid flows over the side of the flow-blocking component and into the component, it will eventually collect at the bottom of the component and enter the storage shell along with the blocked liquid through the drainage hole. This achieves the purpose of blocking and recycling excess liquid generated during care, preventing liquid from flowing down the leg and excessively wetting clothes and bedding.
[0018] By setting up a storage shell, the liquid trapped under the barrier is stored, making it easy to clean up excess liquid generated during this part of the care. When it is necessary to clean the liquid stored in the storage shell, the buckles on both sides of the shell are pressed inward, which releases the buckles from the storage shell. At this time, the storage shell can be removed, and the liquid inside can be poured out, thus completing the purpose of cleaning the trapped liquid. It is easy to install and remove, improving the convenience of use. Attached Figure Description

[0031] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a leg support for orthopedic patients, including a support sleeve 1. A mounting ring 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support sleeve 1. A bolt assembly 3 is inserted into the mounting ring 2. A first inner rod 4 is slidably connected to the inner side of the support sleeve 1. A first positioning element 5 is provided inside the first inner rod 4. A spring is provided at one end of the first positioning element 5. The first positioning element 5 is connected to the first inner rod 4 via the spring, so that when the first positioning element 5 is pressed, it can retract into the first inner rod 4; when released, it springs back. Thus, the first inner rod can be positioned by the first positioning element 5. 4. The first inner rod 4 is limited by the insertion of the first positioning piece 5 into the corresponding position of the support sleeve 1. The second positioning piece 11 described below is similar. The first positioning piece 5 is inserted into the inside of the support sleeve 1. The inner side of the first inner rod 4 is rotatably connected to the movable base 6. The top of the movable base 6 is fixedly connected to the support plate 7. The interception assembly is used to stop and recover the liquid flowing in the legs for leg care. The interception assembly is connected to the movable base 6. The interception assembly includes a connecting rod 8 inserted into the movable base 6. The inner side of the connecting rod 8 is slidably connected to the second inner rod 9. One end of the connecting rod 8 is threaded with a fixing nut 10. The second inner rod 9 has a second positioning member 11 inside, which is inserted into the inside of the connecting rod 8. One end of the second inner rod 9 is fixedly connected to a limit frame 12. When the flow divider 13 is deformed by the leg and fits against the leg, the limit frame 12 will deform accordingly. When the leg is separated from the flow divider 13, the limit frame 12 can drive the flow divider 13 to return to its original position. The limit frame 12 is an elastic structure. The flow divider 13 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the limit frame 12. The special shape of the flow divider 13 can fit completely against the leg and provide support for the leg. The function of the flow-blocking component 13 is to have a housing 15 fixedly connected to its outer side. The flow-blocking component 13 has a flow-draining hole inside, which is connected to the housing 15. The inner side of the housing 15 is fixedly connected to a flow-guiding protrusion 14, which can guide the liquid under the blockage and prevent the flow direction of the liquid under the blockage from becoming disordered. The number of flow-guiding protrusions 14 is set to multiple, and the multiple flow-guiding protrusions 14 are evenly distributed at equal intervals. The bottom of the housing 15 is fitted with a storage shell 16. A buckle 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 15. The buckle 17 is an elastic structure and is snapped into the inside of the storage shell 16.
[0032] By setting the flow-blocking component 13, during use, the support sleeve 1 is installed on the crossbar at the end of the bed by installing the collar 2 and adjusted to a suitable angle and length, allowing the patient to place their ankle on the inside of the support plate 7. Since the movable base 6 can rotate, the support plate 7 can rotate according to the patient's current leg position, thus allowing the patient's leg to fit snugly against the support plate 7. When it is necessary to care for the fractured leg after the patient's leg is lifted by the support plate 7, the fixed connecting rod 8 can be installed to make the patient's leg fit snugly against the flow-blocking component 13. Since the side of the flow-blocking component 13 near the guide protrusion 14 is set with an extended soft edge, it can fit snugly against the patient's leg and deform according to the patient's leg shape to fit snugly against the patient's leg. In addition, the overall material of the flow-blocking component 13 is relatively soft, and it can deform and adapt when in contact with the patient's leg, thus greatly improving the fit with the patient's leg. The other side of the flow-blocking component 13 is set with an extended edge to increase the fit with the patient's leg. The contact area with the patient's legs is designed to provide auxiliary support. During this process, liquids such as medication and cleaning water are blocked by the side of the baffle 13, preventing them from flowing downwards. The blocked liquid flows downwards along the side of the baffle 13 and enters the housing 15 under the guidance of multiple guide protrusions 14, eventually being stored inside the storage housing 16. When some liquid flows into the inside of the baffle 13 without being blocked, it accumulates at the bottom of the inner side of the baffle 13 and enters the storage housing 16 through the drainage holes inside the baffle 13. The liquid can be cleaned by removing the storage housing 16. This achieves the purpose of blocking and recycling excess liquid generated during care, preventing excessive soaking of clothes and bedding by liquid flowing down the legs, reducing the workload of caregivers, and allowing them to focus on caring for the patient's legs without having to clean up.
[0033] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0034] In use, the installation collar 2 is secured to the crossbar at the end of the bed by placing it on the crossbar and tightening the nut on the outside of the bolt assembly 3. During this process, the tilt angle of the support sleeve 1 can be adjusted to a suitable position so that the patient's leg is at a suitable lifting angle. After the support sleeve 1 is fixed, the first inner rod 4 can be released from its limit by pressing the first positioning piece 5, allowing the first inner rod 4 to extend and retract, so that the support plate 7 can fit against the patient's leg. The patient's ankle is placed on the inside of the support plate 7 to achieve the purpose of supporting the patient's fractured leg. The support plate 7 can be rotated accordingly by rotating the movable base 6 to match the tilt angle of the patient's leg. The installation of the interception assembly is completed by inserting the connecting rod 8 into the movable base 6 and tightening the fixing nut 10. The second positioning piece 1 is pressed. 1. The second inner rod 9 can be released from its limit, and the position of the flow barrier 13 can be adjusted so that the flow barrier 13 is outside the leg care area, thus not obstructing normal leg care. By placing the leg inside the flow barrier 13 and making it completely close to the leg, when excess liquid flows down the leg, it can be blocked by the flow barrier 13 and flow down one side of the flow barrier 13. When some liquid enters the inside of the flow barrier 13, this part of the liquid will gather at the lowest point of the flow barrier 13 and enter the storage shell 16 along with the blocked liquid through the drainage hole. When it is necessary to clean the liquid stored in the storage shell 16, the buckles 17 on both sides of the shell 15 can be pressed inward, so that the buckles 17 can be released from the limit of the storage shell 16. At this time, the storage shell 16 can be removed and the liquid in the storage shell 16 can be poured out, thus completing the purpose of cleaning the blocked liquid.

Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits have not been described in detail.
[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
