Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an auxiliary instrument for gastroscopy and colonoscopy. More specifically, this utility model relates to a special frame for gastroscopy and colonoscopy. Background Technology

[0002] Gastroscopy and colonoscopy are the most common and important diagnostic methods for the digestive system in clinical practice. These include conventional gastroscopy and colonoscopy, as well as painless gastroscopy and colonoscopy. These procedures typically require intravenous anesthesia beforehand, and the patient must maintain a fixed position throughout the examination, with the lateral decubitus position being the most common. Given the combined effects of the forced position and anesthesia, patient safety is paramount throughout the entire procedure. Currently, there are no dedicated positioning devices for gastroscopy and colonoscopy; clinical staff must use a combination of restraints, dressings, and various positioning pads to maintain the patient's position. However, this method cannot guarantee that the position will remain unchanged during the examination. Inadequate positioning and fixation often increase patient discomfort and resistance, seriously affecting the examination and making it difficult to ensure its effectiveness and accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0003] One object of this invention is to solve at least the problems described above and to provide at least the advantages that will be explained later.

[0004] Another objective of this invention is to provide a special frame for gastroscopy and colonoscopy, which helps patients maintain a good posture for a long time during the procedure, facilitating the doctor's operation, effectively shortening the examination time, and improving the patient's comfort and satisfaction.

[0005] To achieve these objectives and other advantages according to the present invention, a special frame for gastrointestinal endoscopy is provided, comprising:

[0006] A baseboard is laid on an examination bed; the baseboard has a first side along its length and a second side opposite to the first side; the baseboard is placed under the patient's body, and the baseboard is made of, for example, wood or hard plastic.

[0007] A side panel, slidably connected to the first side, is provided with restraint straps for restraining the patient; the free end of the restraint straps is detachably connected to a second side of the base plate; the side panel is approximately perpendicular to the base plate and rests against the patient's chest to facilitate maintaining a lateral decubitus position. The restraint straps bind the patient's torso to the side panel and the base plate, allowing the patient to be stably maintained in a lateral decubitus position within the space formed by the side panel and the base plate.

[0008] And an arm support, comprising: a head end connected to the side plate and a retractable arm extending from the head end in a direction away from the base plate. The retractable arm, for example, has an arcuate support surface for supporting the patient's arm. The arm support is used to support the arm above the torso when the patient is lying on their side.

[0009] Preferably, the base plate further includes:

[0010] A sliding groove is provided on the first side of the base plate, and the side plate is engaged in the sliding groove and perpendicular to the base plate; the sliding groove is, for example, a groove formed by cutting off a portion of the base plate along the first side; the groove has, for example, a certain depth to accommodate the bottom of the side plate and to allow the side plate to slide back and forth in a generally vertical direction.

[0011] The base plate includes positioning holes on its second side, which secure the free end of the restraint strap. These positioning holes allow the restraint strap to pass through and be fastened to the second side of the base plate. The positioning holes are, for example, elongated holes parallel to the length of the base plate; there may be one or multiple equally spaced holes. The free end of the restraint strap can pass through different positions of the positioning holes, depending on the patient's body shape, thus restraining the patient between the base plate and the side plate.

[0012] Preferably, the groove is configured as a recess extending along the length of the first side of the base plate, with the groove opening upwards; the side plate is accommodated within the groove. The side plate is inserted into the recess and moves back and forth along the groove.

[0013] Preferably, the side plate is rotatably connected to the first side of the base plate via a pin; a rotating shaft is sleeved on the pin, and a groove is provided on the rotating shaft to accommodate the side plate. For ease of storage, the side plate can also be rotatably connected to the base plate; the side plate is rotatably connected to the pin, and the pin is fixed to the base plate. The side plate can also move back and forth along the pin. To increase its stability, preferably, a rotating shaft is sleeved outside the pin, and the groove is formed on the rotating shaft to ensure that the side plate remains approximately stable in the vertical direction.

[0014] Preferably, the side plate has a first side that is close to the patient and a second side that is opposite to the first side; the side plate has at least one through hole for the restraint strap to pass through; the restraint strap can move up and down along the through hole to adjust the height of the restraint strap.

[0015] The connecting end of the restraint strap extends through the through hole to its second surface; a stop is provided on the connecting end of the restraint strap to position the restraint strap. The stop is, for example, rod-shaped, fixed to the connecting end of the restraint strap, and the width of the stop is greater than the width of the through hole to prevent the restraint strap from coming off the side plate. Of course, the stop can also be a button knot formed by tying the connecting end of the restraint strap.

[0016] Preferably, the through hole on the side plate is an elongated hole in the vertical direction; at least one horizontal positioning groove is also provided on the second surface of the side plate along the length of the through hole, and the stop member is confined within the positioning grooves at different heights to adjust the height of the constraint band. The positioning groove is used to accommodate the stop member to increase its stability.

[0017] Preferably, the telescopic arm of the arm support includes multiple arm rests connected end-to-end, each arm rest being configured as a support plate with an arc-shaped cross-section. The arm rests are used to support one of the patient's arms when the patient is lying on the side plate, improving patient comfort and thus enhancing their cooperation during the examination.

[0018] Preferably, the first end of the arm support is rotatably connected to the side of the side plate via a second pin; an adjusting nut is also provided on the second pin. The arm support can be adjusted according to the patient's body shape, arm length, and position.

[0019] Preferably, the dedicated frame for gastroscopy and colonoscopy further includes an axillary support pad, which is disposed on the base plate and supports the patient's armpit. The axillary support pad, placed under the patient's armpit, serves two purposes: firstly, it prevents the patient from shifting during the examination; secondly, it improves the patient's comfort when maintaining a lateral decubitus position, thereby increasing examination efficiency. A removable concave pad for supporting the patient's lower limbs can also be disposed under the base plate. This pad can be used as needed during colonoscopy; patients with limited lower limb mobility can use the pad's assistance to expose the surgical field.

[0020] Preferably, the restraint straps are cotton or nylon straps. The restraint straps may have some elasticity to increase restraint force, binding the patient to the side and floor panels and reducing the physical exertion required for the patient to maintain a lateral decubitus position for extended periods.

[0021] In use, medical staff first lay the base plate on the examination bed. The patient then adjusts to lie on their side on the base plate according to the position of the axillary support pad. Next, the medical staff moves the side plate back and forth, positioning the patient's arm against one side of the side plate, creating a hugging position. After placing the patient's arm on the arm support, the arm support is rotated as needed to fix the patient's arm position. Then, based on the patient's height while lying on their side, the position of the restraint straps is adjusted, and the restraint straps are wrapped around the patient's torso and secured to the second side of the base plate. This allows the patient to be restrained to the side plate in a lateral position.

[0022] This invention offers at least the following advantages: The gastrointestinal endoscopy stand of this invention has a simple and rationally designed structure. During use, the patient lies on their side facing the side panel, and their arm can be placed on the arm support, greatly reducing the patient's burden. The restraint straps can secure the patient to the side panel, and the axillary support pad can elevate the patient's armpit, improving the patient's comfort while lying on their side. This invention facilitates maintaining a good and stable body position, making it easier for doctors to operate, effectively shortening the patient's examination time, improving examination accuracy, and enhancing the patient's comfort and satisfaction.

[0023] Other advantages, objectives and features of this invention will be partly apparent from the following description, and partly understood by those skilled in the art through study and practice of this invention. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a special frame for gastrointestinal endoscopy according to another embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can implement it based on the description.

[0027] It should be understood that terms such as “having,” “comprising,” and “including” as used herein do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a special frame for gastroscopy and colonoscopy, which includes:

[0029] A base plate 100 is laid on an examination bed; the base plate 100 has a first side 101 along its length and a second side 102 opposite to the first side 101; the base plate 100 is placed under the patient's body, and the base plate 100 is made of, for example, wood or hard plastic.

[0030] A side panel 200 is slidably connected to the first side 101, and a restraint strap 300 for restraining the patient is provided on the side panel 200. The free end of the restraint strap 300 is detachably connected to the second side 102 of the base plate 100. The side panel 200 can be approximately perpendicular to the base plate 100, and the side panel 200 rests against the patient's chest to facilitate the patient maintaining a lateral decubitus position. For example, the side panel 200 is approximately perpendicular to the base plate 100, thereby forming an accommodating space between the side panel 200 and the base plate 100. When the patient lies on their side on the base plate 100, facing the side panel 200, and with their arm above the torso resting on the edge of the side panel 200, they are in a position embracing the side panel 200. The restraint straps 300 are used to bind the patient's torso to the side panels 200 and the base plate 100, allowing the patient to be stably maintained in a lateral decubitus position within the space formed by the side panels 200 and the base plate 100. This creates a more stable lateral decubitus position, making it easier for the patient to maintain this position throughout the examination, ensuring a smooth procedure.

[0031] The arm support 400 includes a head end 401 connected to the side plate 200 and a retractable arm 402 extending from the head end in a direction away from the base plate 100. The retractable arm 402, for example, has an arc-shaped support surface for supporting the patient's arm. The arm support 400 can be deployed in use, allowing an unconscious patient's arm to be placed on the retractable arm 402, which is more conducive to maintaining the patient's external temperature during examination. When the arm support is not needed, the retractable arm 402 can be stored on one side of the side plate 200 without taking up additional space.

[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the base plate 100 further includes:

[0033] A groove 103 is provided on the first side 101 of the base plate 100, and the side plate 200 is engaged in the groove and perpendicular to the base plate 100. The groove 103 is, for example, a groove formed by cutting off a portion of the base plate along the first side 101. The groove has a certain depth to accommodate the bottom of the side plate 200 and to allow the side plate 200 to slide back and forth in a generally vertical direction.

[0034] A positioning hole 104 is provided on the second side 102 of the base plate 100, and the positioning hole 104 fixes the free end of the constraint strap 300. The positioning hole 104 is used for the constraint strap 300 to pass through and be fastened to the second side 102 of the base plate 100. For example, there are two positioning holes 104, which are elongated holes parallel to the length direction of the base plate 100. The positioning holes 104 can be integrally formed with the base plate 100, or they can be elongated holes cut out on the second side 102 of the base plate 100.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the groove 103 is configured as a recess extending along the length of the first side 101 of the base plate, with the opening of the groove 103 facing upwards; the side plate 200 is accommodated within the groove 103. The side plate 200 is inserted into and moves back and forth along the groove 103. The groove 103 can be a recess directly cut into the first side 101 of the base plate to accommodate the side plate 200. Since the side plate 200 needs to remain approximately vertical during use, the groove 103 needs to have a certain depth.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the side plate 200 is rotatably connected to the first side 101 of the base plate 100 via a pin 105; a rotating shaft 106 is sleeved on the pin 105, and a sliding groove 103 is disposed on the rotating shaft 106. The pin 105 passes through the side plate 200, thereby allowing the side plate 200 to rotate relative to the base plate 100; when not in use, the side plate 200 can be rotated downwards by 180 degrees and stored under the side of the examination bed for easy storage. To increase its stability, the rotating shaft 106 is, for example, sleeved on the pin 105, and the sliding groove 103 is constrained on the rotating shaft 106 to position the direction of the side plate 200's forward and backward movement. Simultaneously, this ensures that the side plate 200 remains approximately stable in the vertical direction.

[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the side plate 200 has a first surface 201 close to the patient and a second surface 202 opposite to the first surface 201; the side plate 200 has at least one through hole 203 for the restraint strap to pass through; the restraint strap 300 can move up and down along the through hole 203 to adjust the height of the restraint strap 300. The through hole 203 is a vertical elongated hole to accommodate patients of different weights and body types.

[0038] The connecting end of the constraint band 300 extends through the through hole 203 to its second surface 202; a stop 301 is provided on the connecting end of the constraint band 300 to position the constraint band 300. The stop 301 is, for example, rod-shaped and fixed to the connecting end of the constraint band 300. The width of the stop 301 is greater than the width of the through hole 203 to prevent the constraint band 300 from coming off the side plate 200.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the through hole 203 on the side plate 200 is an elongated hole along the vertical direction; at least one horizontal positioning groove 204 is also provided on the second surface 202 of the side plate along the length direction of the through hole 203. The stop member 301 is placed in the positioning groove 204 at different heights to adjust the height of the restraint strap 300. The stop member 301 is a rod-shaped member fixed to the restraint strap 300, and its axis is perpendicular to the length direction of the through hole. The positioning groove 204 is used to fix the stop member 301 to improve the stability of the restraint. By adjusting the height of the restraint strap 300, it can be made to fit tightly against the patient's torso, so as to tighten the patient and prevent the patient's torso from lying flat during the examination, reducing the physical strength required for the patient to maintain a lateral position during the examination and increasing external stability.

[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the telescopic arm 402 of the arm support 400 includes multiple arm supports 403 connected end-to-end, each arm support 403 being constructed as a support plate with an arc-shaped cross-section. The arm supports 403 are used to support one of the patient's arms when the patient is lying on the side plate 200, improving patient comfort and thus enhancing their cooperation during the examination.

[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first end of the arm support 400 is rotatably connected to the side of the side plate 200 via a second pin 404; an adjusting nut 405 is also provided on the second pin 404. The arm support 400 can be adjusted according to the patient's body shape, arm length, and position.

[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the special frame for gastrointestinal endoscopy also includes an axillary support pad 500, which is mounted on the base plate 100 and supports the patient's armpit. The axillary support pad 500, placed under the patient's armpit, serves two purposes: first, it prevents the patient from shifting during the examination; second, it improves the patient's comfort when maintaining a lateral decubitus position, thereby increasing examination efficiency.

[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the restraint strap 300 is a cotton strap or a nylon strap. The restraint strap 300 may have a certain degree of elasticity to increase the restraint force, binding the patient to the base plate 100 in a posture of embracing the side plate 200, reducing the physical exertion required for the patient to maintain a lateral decubitus position for a long time, and ensuring the stability of the examination position during the examination.

[0044] Although the embodiments of this utility model have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, this utility model is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
