Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical assistive device technology, and relates to a mountain-shaped turning assist pad for nursing. Background Technology
[0002] Assisting patients to turn over is a common nursing practice. A "mountain-shaped" turning aid is often used when assisting with this. This type of aid lifts the patient's lower limbs, and the rounded bottom of the aid makes it easy to turn the patient's body. However, after the patient is turned to their side, if... Figure 1 As shown, the mountain-shaped turning aid pad supports the patient's knees, leaving the area below the knees unsupported, which can easily cause discomfort in the patient's feet. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a nursing care pad in the shape of a mountain, which can support the patient's lower limbs below the knee after assisting the patient in turning to their side, thereby solving the problem mentioned in the background art where the lower limbs below the knee are suspended and the patient's feet are prone to discomfort.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A nursing care pad shaped like a mountain (or a shaped plate) for turning over includes a mountain-shaped pad body. The front side wall of the mountain-shaped pad body is provided with a left support pad, a middle support pad, and a right support pad. All three support pads are inflatable. The inflatable pads are lightweight and easily flip with the mountain-shaped pad body. When the middle and left support pads are inflated, or when the middle and right support pads are inflated, they can be used to support the lower limbs below the knees of a patient in a lateral decubitus position. When deflated, they flatten out, reducing space occupation. When using this mountain-shaped pad to assist a patient in turning over, the mountain-shaped pad body can lift the patient's lower limbs, with the knees in an upward arched position. When turning the patient's body, the lower limbs easily flip with the mountain-shaped pad body, allowing the patient to turn to a lateral decubitus position. The inflated middle and left support pads, or the middle and right support pads, can support the lower limbs below the knees, preventing discomfort caused by the knees being suspended in the air.
[0006] Furthermore, the front sidewalls of the left support pad, the middle support pad, and the right support pad are all provided with inflation and deflation ports. The inflation and deflation ports can be connected to an external inflation device (such as an air pump) to quickly inflate the support pads, and the support pads can also be deflated through the inflation and deflation ports.
[0007] Further, the rear sidewalls of the left support pad, middle support pad, and right support pad are all fixedly provided with first hook and loop fasteners, and the front sidewall of the mountain-shaped pad is fixedly provided with three first hook and loop fasteners that correspond one-to-one with the three first hook and loop fasteners. Each support pad and the mountain-shaped pad are connected by a detachable installation method using hook and loop fasteners, which facilitates disassembly and assembly, and in particular, allows for the selection of either the left or right support pad to be installed depending on whether the patient is lying on their left or right side.
[0008] Furthermore, the front sidewall of the mountain-shaped mattress has three storage slots for storing the left, middle, and right support pads. The rear ends of the left, middle, and right support pads are fixed to the bottom of the slots. After the left, middle, and right support pads are deflated, they can be inserted into the three storage slots and hidden, which can reduce space occupation. In particular, when the mountain-shaped mattress is placed on the bed with its front sidewall against the bed surface, the support pads will not protrude from the front sidewall of the mountain-shaped mattress and cause obstruction. When inflated, the support pads can extend out of the storage slots while being inflated.
[0009] Furthermore, the two grooves of the mountain-shaped pad are each provided with straps for binding the patient's lower limbs to prevent the patient's lower limbs from slipping out of the grooves of the mountain-shaped pad during turning over, thereby improving the reliability of the mountain-shaped pad in holding the lower limbs.
[0010] Further, each groove of the mountain-shaped pad is provided with two straps spaced apart front and back. The middle of each strap is fixed to the bottom of the groove. A second hook and loop fastener is fixedly provided on the outer wall of one end of each strap, and a second hook and loop fastener is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the other end of each strap. The straps can be tied around the legs. After the two ends are tightened, they are bonded to the second hook and loop fastener through the second hook and loop fastener. The patient's lower limbs are tied together in each groove by two straps, which can improve the reliability.
[0011] Furthermore, the mountain-shaped pad is composed of a high-density sponge core and a detachable cotton or leather cover fitted over the high-density sponge core, providing a comfortable feel, and the cover is removable and washable.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] When this mountain-shaped turning aid assists a patient in turning over, the left and right support pads are inflated depending on whether the patient is in a left or right lateral decubitus position, while the middle support pad will always be inflated. The mountain-shaped pad lifts the patient's lower limbs, with the knees arched upwards. When turning the patient, the lower limbs can easily turn with the mountain-shaped pad, allowing the patient to turn to a lateral decubitus position. In the lateral decubitus position, the inflated left or right support pad is placed between the bed surface and the lower leg to support the lower leg and foot. The middle support pad is placed between the two lower legs. The lower leg can support the middle support pad, while the middle support pad can support the higher leg and foot. In this way, after turning over, the middle support pad and the left or right support pad can support the lower limbs below the knees, preventing the lower limbs from being suspended and causing discomfort to the patient's feet.

[0024] Embodiment 1
[0025] A mountain-shaped turning assistance pad for nursing, as Figure 2 shown, includes a mountain-shaped pad body 3, a left support pad 4, a middle support pad 5 and a right support pad 6.
[0026] As Figure 2 shown, in both grooves of the mountain-shaped pad body 3, there are straps 8 for binding the patient's lower limbs. There are two straps 8 spaced front and rear in each groove. The middle of each strap 8 is sewn or glued and fixed to the bottom of the groove. On the outer wall surface of one end of each strap 8, a second hookless surface of the magic tape is fixedly arranged, and on the inner wall surface of the other end of each strap 8, a second hook surface of the magic tape is fixedly arranged, which can bind the strap 8 on the leg. After its two ends are tightened, they are adhered through the second hook surface and the second hookless surface of the magic tape. The lower limbs of the patient are bound by two straps 8 in each groove, which can improve the reliability; when the patient's two lower limbs are respectively inserted into the two grooves of the mountain-shaped pad body 3, the lower limbs can be bound by the straps 8 to prevent the patient's lower limbs from slipping out of the grooves of the mountain-shaped pad body 3 during the turning process, which can improve the reliability of the clamping of the lower limbs by the mountain-shaped pad body 3;
[0027] The mountain-shaped pad body 3 is composed of a high-density sponge inner core and a cotton outer cover detachably sleeved outside the high-density sponge inner core, with a comfortable body feeling, and the cotton outer cover can be detachably cleaned.
[0028] As Figure 2 shown, the left support pad 4, the middle support pad 5 and the right support pad 6 are all inflatable pads. The front side walls of the left support pad 4, the middle support pad 5 and the right support pad 6 are provided with inflation and deflation ports 7 for inflation and deflation. The inflation and deflation ports 7 are externally connected to an inflation device (such as an air pump) to quickly inflate the support pad, and the support pad can also be deflated through the inflation and deflation ports 7. The specific structure of the inflation and deflation ports 7 on the support pad is the same as the inflation and deflation port structure of an inflatable sofa or an inflatable bed in the prior art, and will not be elaborated here;
[0029] As Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the rear sidewalls of the left support pad 4, the middle support pad 5, and the right support pad 6 are all fixedly provided with first hook and loop fasteners. The front sidewall of the mountain-shaped pad body 3 is fixedly provided with three first hook and loop fasteners 9 that correspond one-to-one with the three first hook and loop fasteners. Each support pad and the mountain-shaped pad body 3 are connected by a detachable installation method of hook and loop fasteners, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly. In particular, the left support pad 4 and the right support pad 6 can be installed according to the left lateral or right lateral position.
[0030] The inflatable cushion is lightweight and easy to flip with the mountain-shaped cushion body 3. After the middle support cushion 5 and the left support cushion 4 are both inflated, or after the middle support cushion 5 and the right support cushion 6 are both inflated, they can be used to support the patient's lower limbs below the knees respectively. After deflation, it is flat and collapses, which can reduce the space occupied.
[0031] The working principle and technical effects of this embodiment are as follows:
[0032] When using this mountain-shaped turning aid to assist the patient in turning over, choose either the left or right lateral decubitus position to install the left support pad 4 and the right support pad 6. For example, let's take installing the left support pad 4 on the front wall of the mountain-shaped pad 3. Figure 4 As shown;
[0033] The method of using the mountain-shaped turning aid pad is the same as that of the existing mountain-shaped turning aid pad 1: place the mountain-shaped pad 3 on the bed with its front side facing the bed surface, move the mountain-shaped pad 3 under the patient's two lower limbs in the supine position, and then stand the mountain-shaped pad 3 upright between the patient's two lower limbs so that the patient's knees are respectively locked in the two grooves of the mountain-shaped pad 3. The mountain-shaped pad 3 can lift the patient's two lower limbs, and the patient's knees are in an upward arched position.
[0034] The difference from the existing mountain-shaped turning assistance pad 1 is that after the mountain-shaped pad 3 is erected, the left support pad 4 and the middle support pad 5 are installed on the front side wall of the mountain-shaped pad 3 by using the hook and loop fasteners to attach the hook and loop fasteners. The left support pad 4 and the middle support pad 5 can be inflated in advance or inflated after installation.
[0035] When turning the patient's body, both lower limbs can be easily turned over with the mountain-shaped pad 3, so that the patient can turn to a side-lying position. The inflated left support pad 4 is placed between the bed surface and the lower leg to support the lower leg and foot. The middle support pad 5 is placed between the two lower legs. The lower leg can support the middle support pad 5, while the middle support pad 5 can support the upper leg and foot. In this way, after turning over, the left support pad 4 and the middle support pad 5 can support the lower limbs below the knees of the patient's two lower limbs, avoiding the lower part of the knees being in a suspended state and causing discomfort to the patient's feet.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] A mountain-shaped turning assistance cushion for nursing, which is different from that of Embodiment 1 in that: as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, three storage grooves 10 for respectively accommodating the left support cushion 4, the middle support cushion 5 and the right support cushion 6 are provided on the front side wall of the mountain-shaped cushion body 3. The rear ends of the left support cushion 4, the middle support cushion 5 and the right support cushion 6 are all fixed to the bottom of the grooves. After the left support cushion 4, the middle support cushion 5 and the right support cushion 6 are deflated, they can be respectively stuffed into the three storage grooves 10 to be hidden, which can reduce the space occupation. Especially when the mountain-shaped cushion body 3 is placed on the bed in an inclined state with its front side wall surface against the bed surface, each support cushion will not protrude from the front side wall of the mountain-shaped cushion body 3 to cause obstruction. When inflating, the support cushion can extend out of the storage groove 10 while inflating;
[0038] It should be specifically noted that three first hook surfaces of the magic tape do not need to be provided on the front side wall of the mountain-shaped cushion body 3, and the first loop surfaces of the magic tape do not need to be provided on the rear side walls of each support cushion either.
[0039] The difference in the working principle between this Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that after the mountain-shaped cushion body 3 is erected, the left support cushion 4 and the middle support cushion 5 are inflated, and after the left support cushion 4 and the middle support cushion 5 are fully inflated, they automatically extend out of the front side wall of the mountain-shaped cushion body 3, while the right support cushion 6 is not inflated and is hidden in the storage groove 10, and then the patient's body is turned over.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be covered by the scope of the claims and the description of the present invention.
