Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a neck brace for preventing pressure sores. Background Technology

[0002] As a type of neck brace, a neck brace is usually used to assist in the treatment of cervical spondylosis or to fix and restrict the neck during acute and severe injuries. Therefore, rigid neck braces generally need to fit closely to the patient's neck to provide good support and protection. Wearing them for a long time often makes patients feel stuffy and sweaty in their neck. If the weather is hot and cleaning is not done properly, pressure sores can easily form on the neck skin, causing greater pain to the patient.

[0003] The neck brace with patent publication number CN213788063U, designed to prevent pressure sores, incorporates an inflatable bladder and massage balls on its inner side. Patients can adjust the brace's fit to their neck by using the inflatable bladder when changing bed positions, preventing pressure sores. The massage balls also provide a neck massage effect. While this improved neck brace addresses pressure sores to some extent, the inflatable bladder requires neck movement for adjustment, resulting in poor fixation. The neck brace with patent publication number CN214231666U addresses pressure sores by inflating and deflating an inner air bladder assembly using an inflation / deflation component; however, this process is repetitive and cumbersome, and the fixation effect weakens during deflation. Existing neck braces fail to simultaneously achieve effective pressure sore prevention without compromising support. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a pressure-resistant neck brace that provides stable support and effectively prevents pressure sores.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A neck brace for preventing pressure sores includes a chin support and a neck support connected to each other. A chin rest is provided above the chin support, and a neck rest is provided above the neck support. Both the chin support and the neck support are composed of a front plate and a rear plate, with a gap layer between the front and rear plates. A small fan is installed on the side of the front plate, and a battery box and control panel are located in the lower center of the front plate. The small fan is connected to the battery box via a wire located on the front plate. The rear plate has multiple ventilation holes, and several soft pads arranged in a matrix and spaced apart are adhered to the surface of the rear plate. The ventilation holes are distributed at the intervals between adjacent soft pads.

[0007] Preferably, an electrical conduit is bonded to the front side of the front panel, and the electrical wires are disposed inside the electrical conduit.

[0008] Preferably, the thickness of the gap layer between the front panel and the rear panel is 0.5-2 mm, and the interval between adjacent padding strips is 3-6 mm.

[0009] Preferably, the mandibular support plate and the neck support plate are connected by an adjustment mechanism; the adjustment mechanism includes a connector, a connector strap, and a connector, the connector being a ring-shaped structure fixed to both sides of the mandibular support plate, one end of the connector strap being connected to the neck support plate, and the other end passing through the connector and fixedly connected to the connector; the connector strap has evenly spaced connector holes, and the connector and the side opposite to the connector strap have connector posts, the connector posts engaging with the connector holes.

[0010] Preferably, the cushion strip is made of latex sponge material.

[0011] Preferably, the mandibular support piece has a through hole in the middle corresponding to the throat area.

[0012] Preferably, the inner sides of the chin support and neck support extend to the upper outer side and are covered with a latex liner.

[0013] Preferably, a front support is provided below the chin support piece, and a rear support is provided below the neck support piece. The inner sides of the front and rear supports extend to the lower outer sides and are wrapped with latex linings.

[0014] The above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This novel pressure ulcer prevention neck brace, while maintaining a stable support effect, ensures ventilation inside the neck brace by setting ventilation devices on the front chin support plate and the rear neck support plate respectively. This promotes air circulation inside the neck brace, keeps the patient's neck cool and dry, and thus avoids pressure ulcer problems. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the pressure ulcer prevention neck brace of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0018] Please see Figure 1As shown, the pressure ulcer prevention neck brace disclosed in this utility model includes a chin support piece 1 and a neck support piece 2 connected to each other. A chin support 10 is provided above the chin support piece 1, and a neck support 20 is provided above the neck support piece 2. Both the chin support piece 1 and the neck support piece 2 are composed of a front plate 30 and a rear plate 31. A gap layer 32 is provided between the front plate 30 and the rear plate 31. A small fan 33 is installed on the side of the front plate 30. A battery box 34 and a control panel 35 are provided in the lower middle part of the front plate 30. The small fan 33 is connected to the battery box 34 through a wire provided on the front plate 30. The rear plate 31 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 36. Several soft pad strips 37 arranged in a matrix and spaced apart are adhered to the surface of the rear plate 31. The plurality of ventilation holes 36 are distributed at the intervals between adjacent soft pad strips 37. The small fans of the chin support plate 1 and the neck support plate 2 are controlled separately. Of course, based on the principle of this utility model, the small fans of the chin support plate 1 and the neck support plate 2 can also be controlled by the same battery and control panel. The battery box is charged by a charging interface located on the side.

[0019] The front panel 30 has an electrical conduit 38 attached to its front side, and the electrical wires are located inside the electrical conduit 38.

[0020] The thickness of the gap layer 32 between the front plate 30 and the rear plate 31 is 0.5-2mm, and the interval between adjacent soft pad strips 37 is 3-6mm.

[0021] The mandibular support plate 1 and the neck support plate 2 are connected by an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism includes a connector 51, a connector strap 52, and a connector 53. One end of the connector strap 52 is fixedly connected to the connector 51. The strap 52 has evenly spaced connector holes 54. A connector post 55 is provided on the opposite side of the connector 51 and the connector strap 52, and the connector post 55 engages with the connector hole 54. Specifically, one end of the connector strap 52 is fixed to the side of the neck support plate 2. The side of the mandibular support plate 1 has a connector 53 with a ring structure for inserting the connector strap 52. After passing through the connector 53, the connector strap 52 folds back, and the connector post 55 on its connector 52 engages with the connector hole 54. Adjustment can be made by inserting the connector post into different connector holes during use.

[0022] Both the chin support and neck support are made of hard plastic. In some designs, a cotton fabric layer may be adhered to the surface of the chin support and neck support. To improve comfort, the cushion strip 37 is made of latex sponge with a thickness of 2-6 mm.

[0023] The mandibular support piece 1 has a through hole 7 in the middle corresponding to the throat area. The inner sides of the mandibular support 10 and the neck support 20 extend to the upper outer side and are covered with latex linings.
