[0002] External rib fixation devices, also known as rib fixation plates, are medical products specifically designed to treat rib fractures that are non-invasive and do not involve internal organs.

[0003] Currently, people generally use bandages or splints to fix the aforementioned rib fractures. However, when using this method, even the most basic breathing movements by the patient may cause the bandages or splints to shift relative to the affected area, which generally reduces the effectiveness of the treatment. At the same time, bandages or splints are usually quite hard, and their direct contact with the affected area often causes discomfort to the patient. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an external fixation device for ribs that has a higher therapeutic effect and can reduce patient discomfort. Utility Model Content

[0034] Example 1

[0035] As attached Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a dynamic rib external fixation device for improving the treatment effect of rib fractures. It mainly includes a rib external fixation unit 1 and an elastic member 2. In use, firstly, the release paper 15 on the outside of the adhesive layer 14 is peeled off; then, the outer side of the first foam body 12 faces the affected area; next, the dynamic rib external fixation device is adhered to the affected area along the direction of the rib. Since multiple rib external fixation units 1 are connected together by the elastic member 2, the rib external fixation unit 1 can move with the affected area, which improves the treatment effect. Furthermore, the first foam body 12 exists between the affected area and the support plate 11, which reduces patient discomfort. In addition, there is generally a gap between adjacent rib external fixation units 1, which ensures normal skin respiration and, to some extent, avoids the formation of tension blisters, further improving the treatment effect of this embodiment.

[0036] The specific structure of the dynamic rib external fixation device is as follows: it includes multiple rib external fixation units 1, which are connected together by elastic members 2; each rib external fixation unit 1 is provided with a support plate 11; the support plate 11 is covered by a first foam body 12 and a second foam body 13; an adhesive layer 14 is provided on the outside of the first foam body 12; and release paper 15 is provided on the outside of the adhesive layer 14. Compared with the prior art, this utility model improves the treatment effect, reduces the patient's discomfort, and has high practicality.

[0037] In a specific application scenario, an adhesive layer (not shown in the figure) is provided on the side of the first foam body 12 near the second foam body 13. The first foam body 12 is bonded to the support plate 11 through the adhesive layer. This design can prevent relative positional displacement between the first foam body 12 and the support plate 11. Similarly, an adhesive layer is also provided on the side of the second foam body 13 near the first foam body 12. The second foam body 13 is bonded to the support plate 11 through the adhesive layer. This design can prevent relative positional displacement between the second foam body 13 and the support plate 11.

[0038] Furthermore, the aforementioned adhesive layer can be a foam gel layer; wherein, the foam gel layer can enhance the adhesion between the first foam body 12 and the support plate 11, and the adhesion between the second foam body 13 and the support plate 11; at the same time, it can improve the buffering effect of the overall structure of this embodiment.

[0039] In a specific application scenario, the elastic member 2 is an elastic membrane; wherein, the elastic membrane can provide good flexibility and compliance, allowing the patient to naturally stretch and contract when breathing and performing basic physical activities, thereby reducing restrictions on the patient's daily activities; at the same time, it can maintain fixation of the affected ribs, promote fracture healing, thereby improving the treatment effect of this embodiment.

[0040] In a specific application scenario, there are two elastic films. One film is disposed between two adjacent first foam bodies 12 to connect the two adjacent first foam bodies 12 together; the other film is disposed between two adjacent second foam bodies 13 to connect the two adjacent second foam bodies 13 together.

[0041] In a specific application scenario, the two elastic films are spaced a certain distance from each other. This design can further reduce the restrictions on the patient's daily activities and improve the patient's comfort.

[0042] In a specific application scenario, the adhesive layer 14 is a medical waterproof adhesive; wherein, while protecting the health of patients, the medical waterproof adhesive can also prevent external moisture from causing this embodiment to lose its adhesive effect.

[0043] In a specific application scenario, the support plate 11 is an aluminum alloy plate; wherein, the aluminum alloy plate is lightweight and has good shape memory properties; when this embodiment is adhered to the affected area, the patient's body temperature can cause the aluminum alloy plate to gradually become wavy, which can better fit with the ribs at the affected area, further improving the therapeutic effect of this embodiment.

[0044] Furthermore, the release paper 15 can be a coated release paper; wherein, the coated release paper has anti-stick properties, and even under the action of the adhesive layer 14, the coated release paper can be easily peeled off from the adhesive layer 14.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] This embodiment discloses a dynamic rib external fixation device to enhance the working performance of the aforementioned embodiment 1. The aforementioned release paper 15 is also provided on the outer side of the aforementioned second foam body 13. When embodiment 1 is idle, the release paper 15 can protect the second foam body 13 to a certain extent, thereby enhancing the working performance of the aforementioned embodiment 1.

[0047] In a specific application scenario, there is a certain adhesive force between the release paper 15 and the outer side of the second foam body 13. In use, firstly, peel off the release paper 15 on the outer side of the second foam body 13 and peel off the release paper 15 on the outer side of the first foam body 12; then, adhere this embodiment to the affected area.

[0048] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model.
