[0002] Currently, many patients are bedridden for extended periods due to illness, resulting in a high incidence of Achilles tendon contracture. The most common device for correcting Achilles tendon contracture is a brace, but braces are relatively hard, easily damage the skin, and cannot be used for extended periods. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an Achilles tendon contracture pneumatic therapy device to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option or create conditions.

[0004] The solution to the technical problem of this utility model is:

[0005] Achilles tendon contracture pneumatic therapy device, including:

[0006] A lower limb sleeve, the lower limb sleeve is provided with an external air bladder and an independent air bladder; the external air bladder surrounds and forms a lower limb placement space, the lower limb placement space is provided with a lower limb placement entrance; the independent air bladder is located at the lower end of the lower limb placement space;

[0007] A pump, wherein the pump is used to pump gas into or out of the external inflation bladder and the independent air bladder.

[0008] Using the above technical solution, when using this Achilles tendon contracture pneumatic therapy device, medical staff pass the patient's leg through the lower limb placement port and place it into the lower limb placement space. After the patient's lower limb is placed...

[0009] Then turn on the pump and select parameters such as the gas volume, pumping time, and interval. Based on the Achilles tendon angle to be corrected, select the gas volume, pumping time, and interval for the independent air bladder on the sole of the foot.

[0010] After treatment, the pump releases gas from the external and independent airbags, after which medical staff can remove the lower limb sleeves.

[0011] This treatment involves inflating individual airbags that support the patient's foot and drive it towards the lower leg to treat Achilles tendon contractures. This effectively improves and prevents the contracture from worsening. Furthermore, the inflatable structure completely covers the patient's leg, preventing skin abrasions and ensuring medical safety. It can be worn for extended periods, prolonging treatment time and effectively improving the treatment outcome.

[0018] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the first connection structure is a snap fastener.

[0019] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the externally inflatable airbag also includes a first airbag half and a second airbag half, the first airbag half and the second airbag half are arranged left and right, and the first connecting structure controls the separation or combination of the first airbag half and the second airbag half.

[0020] The above technical solution divides the external airbag into two parts: the first airbag half and the second airbag half. The two parts can be separated, which makes it easier for medical staff to place the patient's lower limb into the lower limb placement space.

[0021] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the first connecting structure is a zipper.

[0022] Through the above technical solution, by setting the first connecting structure as a zipper, the front ends of the second airbag half and the first airbag half can be quickly and reliably joined together, and the front ends of the second airbag half and the first airbag half can be quickly separated, thereby allowing the lower limb insertion port to expand or shrink rapidly, thus improving the usage speed of this Achilles tendon contracture pneumatic therapy device. Furthermore, setting the first connecting structure as a zipper simplifies operation and improves the ease of use of this Achilles tendon contracture pneumatic therapy device.

[0023] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, multiple independent airbags are provided, which are stacked vertically. The multiple independent airbags are connected to the pump through multiple independent pipelines, so that the multiple independent airbags can be controlled individually.

[0024] By using the above technical solution, and by setting the number of independent airbags to multiple, medical staff can choose one or more independent airbags to treat patients. The appropriate number of independent airbags can be selected according to the patient's treatment progress and condition, thereby effectively improving the therapeutic effect.

[0025] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the lower limb sleeve is also provided with an external fixation frame, and the external airbag is fixedly installed on the external fixation frame. The external fixation frame is used to restrict the shape of the external airbag.

[0026] Through the above technical solution, the external fixation frame can play a certain role in restricting the shape of the lower limb sleeve.

[0027] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the external fixing frame is a metal component.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Achilles tendon contracture pneumatic therapy device, including: lower limb sleeve 100 and pump 200.

[0037] Specifically, the lower limb sleeve 100 is equipped with an independent airbag 110 and an external airbag 120.

[0038] The externally inflatable airbag 120 is configured to form a space for placing the lower limbs, and the space for placing the lower limbs is provided with a lower limb placement entrance.

[0039] Specifically, the external inflatable airbag 120 is provided with a first connecting structure 123, which is used to control the expansion or contraction of the lower limb insertion port.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the external inflation bladder 120 includes a second bladder half 121 and a first bladder half 122. The second bladder half 121 and the first bladder half 122 are arranged in a left-right direction. The rear end of the second bladder half 121 and the rear end of the first bladder half 122 are fixedly connected. The front end of the second bladder half 121 and the front end of the first bladder half 122 are connected by a first connecting structure 123. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first connecting structure 123 is set as a zipper. By setting the first connecting structure 123 as a zipper, the front end of the second bladder half 121 and the front end of the first bladder half 122 can be quickly and reliably joined together, and the front end of the second bladder half 121 and the front end of the first bladder half 122 can be quickly separated, thereby allowing the lower limb insertion port to be quickly enlarged or quickly reduced, so as to improve the usage speed of this Achilles tendon contracture pneumatic therapy device. Furthermore, the first connecting structure 123 is set as a zipper, which is simple to operate and can improve the ease of use of this Achilles tendon contracture pneumatic therapy device.

[0041] In other embodiments, the first connecting structure 123 can also be configured as a strap structure. By configuring the first connecting structure 123 as a strap structure, the size of the lower limb placement space formed by the combination of the second airbag half 121 and the first airbag half 122 and the size of the lower limb placement entrance can be changed, thereby adapting to patients of different body types and improving the adaptability of this Achilles tendon contracture pneumatic therapy device to different users.

[0042] In other embodiments, the first connecting structure 123 can also be set as Velcro. Naturally, Velcro has a textured surface and a hooked surface. The textured surface and the hooked surface are respectively set on the second airbag half 121 and the first airbag half 122. The textured surface and the hooked surface are bonded together, thereby realizing the connection between the second airbag half 121 and the first airbag half 122. By setting the first connecting structure 123 as Velcro, the size of the lower limb placement space and the lower limb placement entrance formed after the second airbag half 121 and the first airbag half 122 are combined can be changed, thereby adapting to patients of different body types and improving the adaptability of this Achilles tendon contracture pneumatic therapy device to different users.

[0043] Specifically, in other embodiments, the first connecting structure 123 is configured as a snap structure. Naturally, the snap structure includes a male snap and a female snap, which are respectively disposed on the second airbag half 121 and the first airbag half 122. The male snap and the female snap are fastened together. Specifically, the number of snap structures is set to multiple, and the multiple snap structures are arranged in the vertical direction. Alternatively, the multiple snaps can be arranged in a matrix in the vertical and horizontal directions and the front and back directions as needed, so that the size of the lower limb placement space and the lower limb placement entrance formed after the combination of the second airbag half 121 and the first airbag half 122 can be changed to adapt to different users.

[0044] In other embodiments, the external inflatable airbag 120 may also be configured as a complete circular sleeve structure, and the first connecting structure 123 may use straps, Velcro, snaps, or other structures to adjust the size of the lower limb insertion port. Those skilled in the art can select the specific construction of the first connecting structure 123 and the specific construction of the external inflatable airbag 120 according to actual needs.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lower limb sleeve 100 is further provided with an external fixing frame 130. The external fixing frame 130 is a rigid component, so that the external fixing frame 130 can restrict the shape of the lower limb sleeve 100 to a certain extent. Specifically, in this embodiment, the external fixing frame 130 is set as a metal component. In other embodiments, the external fixing frame 130 can also be set as a rigid plastic component. Those skilled in the art can select the specific material of the external fixing frame 130 according to actual needs.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the external fixation frame 130 includes a first frame and a second frame, which are arranged vertically and are hinged together in an adjustable manner. The first frame and the second frame correspond to the lower leg and the foot, respectively, thus dividing the external fixation frame 130 into two parts. The first frame and the second frame are adjustablely connected so that the ankle joint angle is adjustable, thereby adapting to patients with different conditions.

[0047] Specifically, the independent airbag 110 is positioned at the lower end of the lower limb placement space. After inflation, the independent airbag 110 has a triangular cross-section in the left-right direction, with the wider end positioned in front of the narrower end. By inflating the independent airbag 110, it can support the patient's foot and drive the foot towards the lower leg, thereby treating Achilles tendon contracture.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of independent airbags 110 is set to four, with multiple independent airbags 110 stacked vertically. By setting the number of independent airbags 110 to multiple, medical personnel can select one or more independent airbags 110 to treat patients. The appropriate number of independent airbags 110 can be selected according to the patient's treatment progress and condition, thereby effectively improving the therapeutic effect. In other embodiments, the number of independent airbags 110 can also be set to two, three, or other numbers. Those skilled in the art can select the number of independent airbags 110 according to actual needs.

[0049] Since the improvement of pump 200 is not the main inventive point of this solution, the specific structure and control circuit of pump 200 will not be described in detail here. The following only describes the connection method between pump 200 and components such as second airbag half 121, first airbag half 122 and independent airbag 110.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, one of the interfaces of the pump 200 is connected to the second airbag half 121 and the first airbag half 122 via a T-junction pipe, allowing the second airbag half 121 and the first airbag half 122 to inflate and deflate simultaneously. The other four interfaces of the pump 200 are connected to four independent airbags 110 via independent pipes, thereby enabling individual control of multiple independent airbags 110 to control the number of selected independent airbags 110.

[0051] In the accompanying drawings, the connecting pipes between the pump 200 and components such as the second airbag half 121, the first airbag half 122, and the independent airbag 110 are simply represented as a line connecting the pump 200 and the lower limb sleeve 100.

[0052] When using this Achilles tendon contracture pneumatic therapy device, medical staff first pull the zipper to widen the lower limb insertion port. Then, the patient's leg is passed through the port and placed into the lower limb placement space. If the user cannot straighten their lower limb due to joint stiffness, the medical staff needs to adjust the ankle joint angle of the external fixation frame 130° according to the patient's joint angle to accommodate different conditions. After the patient's lower limb is placed, the medical staff pulls the zipper to narrow the lower limb insertion port to prevent the patient's leg from accidentally dislodging from the lower limb sleeve 100 during subsequent treatment.

[0053] Then turn on the pump 200 and select parameters such as the amount of gas pumped, the pumping time, and the interval time. Based on the Achilles tendon angle to be corrected, select the gas pumping volume, pumping time, and interval time for the multiple independent air bladders 110 on the sole of the foot. You can choose to fully inflate one or more independent air bladders 110.

[0054] After treatment, the pump 200 releases gas from the external inflation bag 120 and the independent air bag 110, then the zipper is unzipped and the lower limb sleeve 100 is removed.

[0055] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0056] 1. It can improve and prevent the worsening of Achilles tendon contracture;

[0057] 2. The Achilles tendon contracture pneumatic therapy device will not cause skin abrasions, ensuring medical safety;

[0058] 3. This Achilles tendon contracture pneumatic therapy device can be worn for extended periods, which can prolong treatment time, effectively improve Achilles tendon contracture, and enhance therapeutic efficacy.

[0059] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
