Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Kirschner wire protective sleeve technology, and in particular to a wearable Kirschner wire telescopic finger sleeve. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional clinical surgery for congenital polydactyly, Kirschner wires are implanted. To facilitate postoperative removal during outpatient follow-up and avoid reoperation, the Kirschner wires are left protruding from the fingertip. The surgical wound, protruding Kirschner wires, and wire tracts are primarily bandaged with sterile gauze. During the child's home recovery period, caregivers need to regularly disinfect and bandage the surgical wound, protruding Kirschner wires, and wire tracts. However, improper handling can lead to a series of problems. Inappropriate bandaging by caregivers can cause sterile gauze to fall off, resulting in wound infection; the Kirschner wires on the fingertip can scratch the child's skin, causing further injury, and can snag on clothing, hindering the child's recovery and daily life; the protruding Kirschner wires on the fingertip are directly subjected to external impact without cushioning.

[0003] The utility model patent with publication number CN219557700U discloses a Kirschner wire protection structure, which includes a finger sleeve, a wristband, and a connecting strap. The finger sleeve is worn on the finger, with the front end of the finger sleeve extending beyond the Kirschner wire on the finger, and the rear end of the finger sleeve resting against the base of the patient's finger. The wristband is worn on the wrist. The connecting strap connects the finger sleeve and the wristband. Because the finger sleeve covers the Kirschner wire, it protects the Kirschner wire and prevents it from falling off. However, the following problems still exist when using this protective device: (1) The size and structure of the finger sleeve are not specially designed for different fingers and cannot adapt to different fingers; (2) The Kirschner wire protruding from the fingertip is directly impacted by external force without buffering force, which will cause the Kirschner wire to shift proximally, causing severe pain to the child and damaging the bone end, which is not conducive to rehabilitation.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances. Example 1

[0026] See attached document Figure 1-5 The illustrated wearable Kirschner wire telescopic finger sleeve includes a finger sleeve body 1, a connecting ring 2 connected to the outer surface of the finger sleeve body 1, and multiple telescopic mechanisms 3 provided outside the connecting ring 2. The top of the telescopic mechanism 3 is detachably connected to a protective shell 5 for accommodating Kirschner wires.

[0027] Specifically, the design uses the structure of the connecting ring 2 to make the finger sleeve body 1 and the telescopic mechanism 3 tightly connected.

[0028] The telescopic mechanism 3 has four sets. The telescopic mechanism 3 also includes a sleeve 31 and a telescopic rod 32 movably sleeved in the sleeve 31. The telescopic rod 32 and the sleeve 31 are limited by a first bolt 33. A first hole 34 is provided on the sleeve 31. A plurality of second holes 35 are provided on the side of the telescopic rod 32. The first hole 34 and the second hole 35 are provided in the same position. The first bolt 33 can be rotated into the first hole 34 and the second hole 35 for fixation. A third hole 36 is provided at the end of the telescopic rod 32 away from the sleeve 31.

[0029] The four sets of telescopic mechanisms 3 ensure the structural stability of the entire finger sleeve and can withstand greater external impacts. Through the cooperation of the first bolt 33 with the first hole 34 and the second hole 35, the telescopic mechanism 3 can achieve precise positioning, allowing the patient to adjust the length of the telescopic mechanism 3 according to actual needs, thereby accommodating different sizes of Kirschner wires or fingers.

[0030] The telescopic rod 32 is connected by the connecting rod 4.

[0031] The connecting rod 4 enables different telescopic rods 32 to work together, ensuring overall stability during extension or retraction, preventing local loosening or displacement, and improving the stability and durability of the structure.

[0032] The finger sleeve body 1 is provided with a first Velcro 6 and a second Velcro 7.

[0033] The design of the first Velcro 6 allows users to adjust the tightness of the finger sleeve according to the size of their fingers. The design of the second Velcro 7 complements the first Velcro 6, further ensuring the stability of the finger sleeve when worn. Through the double Velcro design, the finger sleeve can effectively cover the entire finger and maintain a good fixation with the Kirschner wire, preventing displacement due to friction or impact during daily activities.

[0034] The protective shell 5 has a groove 51; the groove 51 provides additional protective space for the Kirschner wire to avoid direct damage to it from the external environment. Example 2

[0035] Based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2 provides a specific structure for the protective shell 5, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 5The protective shell 5 has four fourth holes 52 corresponding to the third hole 36. Four second bolts 53 are provided between the third hole 36 and the fourth holes 52. Each second bolt 53 passes through one of the fourth holes 52 and then rotates into the third hole 36. The four corners of the protective shell 5 are curved to prevent injury to the child from right angles.

[0036] Specifically, the protective shell 5 is connected to the telescopic rod 32 by the second bolt 53, so that it can securely cover the Kirschner wire. In addition, the structure of the second bolt 53 makes the protective shell 5 easy to disassemble, which makes it convenient for users to inspect and clean the Kirschner wire and the surrounding environment when needed, greatly facilitating postoperative care.

[0037] Specific application examples:

[0038] A patient underwent finger deformity correction surgery at a hospital, during which Kirschner wires were used to fix the bone. Post-surgery, the Kirschner wires were partially exposed outside the finger, requiring care and protection. The specific application method of a wearable Kirschner wire telescopic finger sleeve proposed in this application is as follows:

[0039] First, medical staff gently slip the retractable finger cot onto the patient's finger, ensuring it covers the exposed Kirschner wire. By adjusting the length of the telescopic rod 32, the finger cot is positioned at an appropriate distance and fit the Kirschner wire, avoiding direct contact with the wound or hindering healing. The tightness of the finger cot is adjusted using the first Velcro 6 and the second Velcro 7, ensuring it is securely fixed to the finger and will not loosen or slip due to finger movement. Simultaneously, the Velcro design ensures patient comfort and prevents excessive tightness that could restrict blood circulation in the finger.

[0040] Patients wear finger cots during daily activities. The protective shell 5 of the finger cot effectively prevents displacement or friction of the Kirschner wires caused by external impacts. Each day, caregivers or family members can remove the protective shell 5 to clean the finger and the area around the Kirschner wires. The protective shell 5 is secured by the second bolt 53, allowing for easy removal and reinstallation, ensuring the wound remains clean and reducing the possibility of infection. After cleaning, the protective shell 5 is reinstalled, and the stability of the telescopic mechanism 3 is checked to ensure adequate protection of the Kirschner wires.

[0041] During regular follow-up appointments after surgery, the doctor checks the healing of the Kirschner wires and surgical wound by removing the protective shell 5 from the finger cot. After the surgery has healed, the doctor can easily remove the Kirschner wires by simply disassembling the telescopic mechanism 3 and the protective shell 5. The adjustable structure of the finger cot makes the entire procedure convenient and quick, avoiding the risk of a second surgery.

[0042] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
