Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a pillow for supporting the arm. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of medical device technology, especially in interventional treatment of lung diseases, CT-guided ablation of lung nodules has become an important non-surgical treatment method. This technology utilizes the high-precision imaging capabilities of CT to accurately locate small lung nodules and effectively eliminate lesions while maintaining the integrity of the patient's lung tissue through thermal ablation or cryoablation, significantly improving the safety and effectiveness of treatment.

[0003] However, in practice, CT-guided ablation of lung nodules faces a key challenge: patients need to maintain a specific posture for a long time, especially raising their arms to near their heads to provide doctors with a clear view of the lungs and sufficient operating space. This unnatural posture requires patients to have a high level of tolerance, but unfortunately, most patients experience muscle fatigue, soreness, or even tremors after maintaining this posture for a long time, which seriously affects the smooth progress of the surgery. Therefore, a pillow to support the arm is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where patients need to maintain a specific posture for extended periods, particularly raising their arms near their heads to provide doctors with a clear view of the lungs and sufficient operating space. This unnatural posture requires patients to have a high level of endurance, but unfortunately, most patients experience muscle fatigue, soreness, or even tremors after maintaining this posture for a long time, which seriously affects the smooth progress of the surgery. Therefore, this invention proposes a pillow to support the arm.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A pillow for supporting the arm includes a flat surface, a headrest provided at the top center of the flat surface, a gripping mechanism for the patient to grasp on one side of the top of the flat surface, and a support mechanism for supporting the patient's arm at each of the four top corners of the flat surface.

[0007] The gripping mechanism includes a mounting base and a handle. The mounting base is fixedly connected to the top of the plate. A slider is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the handle. The slider is slidably connected to the inner walls of both sides of the mounting base. The mounting base has a mounting groove inside, and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the height of the handle is provided in the mounting groove.

[0008] In one possible design, the adjusting mechanism includes a threaded rod and a worm gear. The threaded rod is rotatably connected between the top and bottom inner walls of the inner receiving groove of the mounting base. The worm gear is rotatably connected between the two inner walls of the inner receiving groove of the mounting base. The top of the threaded rod rotatably passes through the top of the mounting base. The threaded rod is threadedly connected to the bottom of the slider and threaded through the slider. A worm wheel is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the threaded rod. The worm wheel is located in a receiving groove opened inside the mounting base and meshes with the worm gear.

[0009] In one possible design, the worm gear rotates through one side of the mounting base, and the end of the worm gear located outside the mounting base is fixedly connected to a knob for easy adjustment.

[0010] In one possible design, limit blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the slider that are far apart from each other, and limit grooves are formed on both inner walls of the mounting base, with the limit blocks slidably connected in the corresponding limit grooves.

[0011] In one possible design, the lifting mechanism includes a second mounting base, which is fixedly connected to the top of the plate. The inner walls of both sides of the second mounting base are rotatably connected to the same first rotating shaft. The outer circumferential wall of the first rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a mounting block. The top of the mounting block is fixedly connected to an arm support. The two mutually distant sides of the mounting block are fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft. The outer circumferential walls of the two second rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the same support plate.

[0012] In one possible design, the top four corners of the flat plate are provided with multiple slots for adjusting the angle of the lifting mechanism, and the support plate is engaged in one of the corresponding slots.

[0013] In this application, when a patient needs CT-guided ablation treatment for pulmonary nodules, the pillow is first placed on the bed, and the patient lies down with their head resting on the pillow. The patient then raises their hands, placing their upper and lower arms on the corresponding armrests. The support plate engages with different slots, allowing the support plate to rotate along the first rotating shaft via the second rotating shaft, thereby adjusting the angle of the armrests. Rotating the knob causes the worm gear to rotate, and the worm gear meshes with the worm wheel, causing the worm wheel to rotate. The worm wheel then rotates the threaded rod, which in turn drives the slider to move up and down via a threaded connection. Simultaneously, the limiting blocks on both sides of the slider slide up and down within the limiting grooves, preventing the slider from moving in any other way. The slider then moves the handle to a suitable height for the patient to grip, allowing the patient to grasp the handle.

[0014] In this utility model, the arm support pillow provides stable head support for the patient by setting a headrest. At the same time, the gripping mechanism set on one side of the top of the flat plate can effectively relieve muscle fatigue and soreness caused by the patient raising their arm for a long time. In addition, the design of the lifting mechanism allows the patient's arm to be reasonably supported, further reducing the burden on the patient and improving the comfort during the operation.

[0015] In this utility model, the arm support pillow can easily adjust the height of the handle through the worm gear and worm wheel transmission system in the adjustment mechanism to adapt to different surgical needs and individual differences. This flexibility ensures that the patient can maintain a stable posture during the operation, reduces the problem of blurred or offset CT imaging caused by changes in posture, thereby improving the accuracy and success rate of the operation.

[0016] In this utility model, the arm support pillow, through the cooperation of the limiting block and the limiting groove in the gripping mechanism, ensures the stability of the slider during the up and down movement, and prevents accidental slippage or deviation. At the same time, the multi-angle adjustment function of the support mechanism allows the patient's arm to obtain the optimal support angle, reducing the potential risks caused by the arm being suspended or improperly supported.

[0017] This invention provides stable head support for patients. The gripping mechanism on one side of the top of the tablet effectively alleviates muscle fatigue and soreness caused by prolonged arm elevation. Furthermore, the support mechanism provides reasonable support for the patient's arm, further reducing the burden on the patient and improving comfort during surgery. The handle height can be easily adjusted by regulating the worm gear and worm wheel transmission system within the mechanism to accommodate different surgical needs and individual differences. This flexibility ensures that patients maintain a stable posture during surgery, reducing CT image blurring or shifting caused by changes in posture, thereby improving surgical accuracy and success rate. The limiting block and limiting groove in the gripping mechanism ensure the stability of the slider during vertical movement, preventing accidental slippage or deviation. Simultaneously, the multi-angle adjustment function of the support mechanism allows the patient's arm to receive optimal support, reducing potential risks caused by the arm being suspended or improperly supported.
