Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical auxiliary equipment technology and relates to a defecation assistance pad. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in clinical practice, the common method for defecation in bedridden patients is to place a bedpan directly under their buttocks. This method requires raising the patient's buttocks by 6-9 centimeters to allow the bedpan to be placed smoothly. However, in actual operation, the following problems exist: (1) Due to the unevenness of the commode opening, the skin of the buttocks is easily scratched during insertion and removal, and long-term use can easily cause mechanical pressure injury to the buttocks; (2) Bedridden patients need to raise their buttocks, which is difficult for elderly and weak patients and will increase their pain; (3) Patients with lumbar tuberculosis or spinal surgery who need to lie flat are prone to secondary injury when using traditional commodes, increasing medical risks; (4) When raising the buttocks with the commode, excrement is easy to leak from the contact point between the buttocks and the commode, resulting in soiling of bedding and clothing; (5) For patients with long defecation time, continuously raising the buttocks will make the waist and legs feel tired, which may lead to instability of the buttocks center of gravity, uneven force on the commode, and easy tipping; (6) Using the commode requires raising the buttocks, which makes defecation difficult for patients, easily causing frustration and even aggravating constipation. Therefore, it is necessary to design an auxiliary device to facilitate defecation for long-term bedridden patients in order to effectively solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
