Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical assistive device technology, and more specifically to a hand frame positioning pad for placing the patient in a lateral decubitus position. Background Technology

[0002] Thoracic surgery is a surgical procedure performed on the chest. These surgeries typically require the patient to assume a specific position to allow the surgeon better access to the surgical site. Among the various positions, the lateral decubitus position is a common choice because it provides better visibility and operational space. However, requiring patients to maintain this position for extended periods during surgery poses challenges to patient comfort and safety. Currently, multiple support and restraint pads are commonly used in clinical practice to help patients maintain a stable lateral decubitus position. These aids are designed to ensure patient stability and safety during surgery while minimizing interference with the surgical team. Commonly used support pads include head supports, shoulder supports, hip supports, and leg supports; restraint pads are used to limit the patient's range of motion, preventing accidental turning over or slipping. While traditional support and positioning pads achieve their intended functions to some extent, they also present several technical challenges: the need for multiple pads prolongs the fixation process, increasing preoperative preparation time and labor costs, resulting in low fixation efficiency. Each pad needs individual adjustment and fixation. Furthermore, the support and positioning pads can compress the lower arm, potentially causing nerve and blood vessel compression and numbness. During surgery, endotracheal tubes are frequently inserted into the patient's mouth, which can compress the upper arm, causing skin injuries. These problems urgently require solutions. To address these issues, the inventors propose a hand-support positioning pad for lateral decubitus positioning. Through modifications, the pad is easier for medical staff to handle and allows for comfortable placement of the patient's hands without compression, thus better assisting in surgical procedures.

[0003] To better position and support patients' hands during lateral decubitus surgery and avoid discomfort caused by prolonged pressure, Chinese Patent (Authorization Announcement No.: CN217697213U) discloses a hand support device for patients undergoing lateral decubitus surgery. This utility model includes a horizontally positioned elongated first pad, a first receiving groove formed on the lower surface of the first pad along its length, a second pad on the upper surface of the first pad, a groove formed on the upper surface of the first pad, a sliding rod horizontally positioned within the groove, a sleeve fitted onto the sliding rod, and a connecting rod fixedly connected to the sleeve. The length direction of the groove is parallel to the length direction of the first pad, the length direction of the sliding rod is parallel to the length direction of the groove, one end of the connecting rod is slidably connected to the sliding rod, and the other end is connected to the second pad. This utility model's hand support device for patients undergoing lateral decubitus surgery facilitates arm positioning during the procedure.

[0004] The proposed solution still has some shortcomings. Because medical staff need to perform numerous preparatory tasks before surgery, the positioning pad needs to be simple, lightweight, and easy to handle. It cannot be bulky or easily snag on equipment wiring, causing damage. Furthermore, during surgery, the patient is in a prone position with their hands crossed in a cross shape. Blood pressure and oxygen saturation measurements need to be taken on both arms during the procedure, so the arms need to be fully exposed; otherwise, inaccurate measurements are likely. Therefore, the structure of the positioning pad needs to be improved to overcome the aforementioned limitations, making it more suitable for patient use, easier for medical staff to use, and also improving patient comfort and practicality. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention discloses a hand support positioning pad for side-lying positions, the main purpose of which is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies and shortcomings of the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A positioning pad for placing an armrest in a lateral decubitus position includes a positioning pad body. The top of the positioning pad body has a slope structure that gradually decreases from left to right. This slope structure is used to place the upper limb arm. The sides of the slope structure are equipped with binding straps. The outer side of the binding straps is sewn with a skin-friendly fabric. The skin-friendly fabric is divided into several bendable cavities. The inner side of each bendable cavity is filled with sponge. The bottom left side of the positioning pad body has a semi-cylindrical hollow structure that runs from front to back. This semi-cylindrical hollow structure is used to place the lower limb arm.

[0008] Furthermore, the body positioning pad is made of memory foam.

[0009] Furthermore, the semi-cylindrical hollow structure is fitted with a fixing ring made of acrylic material.

[0010] Furthermore, there are two straps, an upper strap and a lower strap, which are used to tighten the forearm of the upper limb and arm, respectively. The upper strap is set to correspond with the endotracheal tube.

[0011] Furthermore, the end of the binding strap is provided with a Velcro A side, and the side of the positioning pad body is correspondingly provided with a Velcro B side.

[0012] Furthermore, the left and right sides of the positioning pad body are curved and chamfered.

[0013] As can be seen from the above description of this utility model, compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention firstly utilizes a sloping structure at the top and a semi-cylindrical hollow structure on one side of the bottom of the positioning pad to maintain the patient's hands in the correct position during surgery. This ergonomic design provides the surgeon with a better surgical field of vision and operating space, while keeping most of the hands exposed, facilitating the wearing of monitoring instruments, including blood pressure and blood oxygen saturation measurements. Secondly, the positioning pad effectively prevents complications such as pressure sores and skin damage caused by improper positioning, reducing patient pain and discomfort. Thirdly, the binding strap consists of several flexible cavities with built-in sponge, preventing excessive tightness and pressure. The upper binding strap also prevents the endotracheal tube from compressing the upper limbs, ensuring patient safety during surgery. Finally, the positioning pad is made of memory foam, making it lightweight and featuring curved edges on both sides. Its simple structure facilitates easy handling by medical staff, preventing accidental bumps to instruments or wiring. This invention is simple in structure, ingeniously designed, highly practical and comfortable, and suitable for widespread application. Attached Figure Description
