Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical supplies technology, specifically relating to a heel protection pad. Background Technology

[0002] Heel protectors play a crucial role in medical procedures, primarily preventing pressure injuries to the patient's heel. Current heel protectors typically consist of two layers: a gel pad and an outer protective layer. The gel pad provides cushioning and support, reducing pressure on the heel; the outer protective layer protects the gel pad and prevents contact with the external environment.

[0003] Most heel protectors on the market today use a structure where the gel pad is sewn inside an outer protective layer. Since heel protectors are used by different patients during surgery, bacteria and dirt easily accumulate on the outer protective layer after a period of use. If the outer protective layer is not removable, cleaning and disinfection become difficult, increasing the risk of cross-infection. To maintain hygiene, hospitals or nursing facilities often need to frequently replace the heel protectors, which not only increases medical costs but also wastes resources. Utility Model Content

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] Please see Figures 1-8 As shown, a heel protection pad includes:

[0030] As can be seen from the above, there is an inner protective layer 1, an outer protective layer 2, and a gel pad 3. The gel pad 3 is placed between the inner protective layer 1 and the outer protective layer 2. Two fixing straps 4 are sewn onto one layer of the outer protective layer 2. The movable ends of the two fixing straps 4 are fixed to the other side of the outer protective layer 2 by Velcro. The ends of the inner protective layer 1 and the outer protective layer 2 are connected together by a connecting structure.

[0031] The connecting structure includes a connecting layer 5, the upper and lower sides of which are sewn onto the inner protective layer 1 and the outer protective layer 2 respectively, and zippers 6 are sewn onto the left and right sides respectively. The two straps of the zippers 6 are sewn onto the inner protective layer 1 and the outer protective layer 2 respectively, and the bottom of the outer protective layer 2 is attached with a blocking mechanism by Velcro.

[0032] Depend on Figures 1-3As can be seen, the inner protective layer 1 and the outer protective layer 2 are tightly connected by the connecting layer 5 and the zipper 6 to form a single structure. The materials of the inner protective layer 1 and the outer protective layer 2 can be any waterproof and breathable fabric, such as polyurethane-coated nylon, which will not be elaborated here. At the same time, the design of the zipper 6 allows the inner protective layer 1 and the outer protective layer 2 to be easily opened and closed, facilitating the removal and cleaning of the gel pad 3. The fixing strap 4 on the outer protective layer 2 is fixed with Velcro, which can be flexibly adjusted according to the patient's specific situation to ensure the stability and comfort of the heel protection pad. The blocking mechanism at the bottom of the outer protective layer 2 is attached with Velcro, which can be quickly installed and removed as needed, providing the patient with additional support and protection.

[0033] Specifically, regarding the above, please refer to... Figures 4-5 As shown, multiple vent holes 7 are uniformly opened on the gel pad 3, and multiple buffer layers 8 are fixed in each of the multiple vent holes 7. Multiple activated carbon particles are embedded in each of the multiple buffer layers 8.

[0034] As can be seen from the above, the design of the vent 7 is mainly to increase the breathability of the gel pad 3, effectively reduce the dampness and stuffiness of the heel area, improve comfort, and absorb odors through the activated carbon particles in the vent 7 to keep the heel area fresh. The main function of the buffer layer 8 is to prevent the activated carbon particles from being crushed into powder when under pressure, thereby ensuring the long-term effectiveness of the activated carbon particles and the overall performance of the gel pad 3.

[0035] Specifically, regarding the above, please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner and outer surfaces of the gel pad 3 are both designed to be wavy, and anti-slip cloth 9 of the same size is attached to both the inner and outer surfaces. The anti-slip cloth 9 has multiple raised anti-slip particles.

[0036] As can be seen from the above, the main function of the anti-slip cloth 9 is to increase the friction between the inner protective layer 1, the outer protective layer 2 and the gel pad 3, and to prevent the gel pad 3 from sliding back and forth during use. The raised anti-slip particles on the anti-slip cloth 9 can also connect with the uneven surface of the corrugated layer of the gel pad 3 to further increase the friction and ensure the stability and safety of the gel pad 3. The anti-slip cloth 9 is made of any flexible material that is breathable and can generate a large friction with both gel material and fabric material, which will not be elaborated here.

[0037] Specifically, regarding the above, please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a protective pad 10 is attached to the side of the inner protective layer 1 that is in contact with the heel via Velcro. The protective pad 10 is made of pure cotton.

[0038] As shown above, the pure cotton material of the protective pad 10 not only provides excellent comfort and breathability, but also effectively absorbs sweat from the heel area, reducing the occurrence of eczema and skin discomfort. Furthermore, the Velcro closure allows the protective pad 10 to be easily removed and washed, maintaining hygiene and extending its lifespan.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] refer to Figures 6-7 As shown, the blocking mechanism includes two connecting straps 11 that are attached to the bottom of the outer protective layer 2 by Velcro. The two ends of the two connecting straps 11 are rotatably connected to the same rotating shaft 12, and the center of the rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected to a fixing component.

[0041] As can be seen from the above, the connecting strap 11 is fixed to the bottom of the outer protective layer 2 by Velcro, which makes the blocking mechanism have good detachability and flexibility. It can be quickly installed and removed according to actual needs, providing additional support and protection for the patient. The combination of the pivot 12 and the fixing components ensures the stability and reliability of the blocking mechanism, effectively restricts the range of motion of the patient's feet, and is conducive to the smooth progress of the operation.

[0042] refer to Figure 7 As shown, the fixing assembly includes a base rod 13 and a fixing rod 14. One end of the base rod 13 and the fixing rod 14 are interlocked with each other in a concave-convex shape and are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 12. The other side of the base rod 13 and the fixing rod 14 are connected by a support assembly.

[0043] As can be seen from the above, the base rod 13 and the fixing rod 14 are connected by the concave and convex insertion and the rotation of the rotating shaft 12, which can easily adjust the angle to adapt to different usage needs. At the same time, the base rod 13, the fixing rod 14 and the support assembly form a triangular shape, which further enhances the stability of the fixing assembly, ensuring reliable support when restricting the patient's foot movement, effectively preventing foot slippage, and ensuring the safety and smooth progress of the surgical procedure.

[0044] refer to Figures 7-8 As shown, the support assembly includes a rotating connecting rod 15. The upper end of the rotating connecting rod 15 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the fixed rod 14, and the lower end is rotatably mounted with a plug 16. The bottom rod 13 has a plurality of plugs 17 that are evenly opened on it and are adapted to the size of the plug 16.

[0045] As can be seen from the above, the rotating connecting rod 15 can be adjusted to multiple angles by inserting the insert block 16 into different sockets 17 on the bottom rod 13. Since the insert block 16 is rotatably mounted on the rotating connecting rod 15, this ensures that the rotating connecting rod 15 can always be firmly inserted into the socket 17, ensuring that the angle between the fixed rod 14 and the bottom rod 13 can be precisely adjusted according to actual needs.

[0046] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
