Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of human necessities, especially to the field of medical assistive devices, and in particular to a leg clamping device for assisting in body positioning. Background Technology
[0002] In the intensive care unit, patients need to be turned over frequently to avoid pressure injuries to the coccyx or heels. However, for patients with muscle atrophy, they cannot maintain the side-lying position after turning over. Medical staff need to place multiple turning pillows on the patient's side and legs to maintain the position. This method has some drawbacks:
[0003] 1. The turning pillow is not securely fixed, which requires a high level of skill from medical staff.
[0004] 2. For patients with muscle atrophy, the gap between their legs is large, which can cause their legs to bend unnaturally inward when lying on their side, causing harm to the patient.
[0005] 3. When lying on their side, the patient's upper foot lacks effective support, making it prone to foot drop. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a leg clamping device for assisting in body positioning. This leg clamping device aims to solve the technical problems in the prior art, such as the unreliable fixation of the turning pillow, the unnatural bending caused by the gap between the legs, and the lack of effective support for the feet.
[0007] A leg-clamping device for assisting in body positioning includes a calf pillow and a thigh pillow. A first connecting rod is fixedly connected to the calf pillow from front to back, and a second connecting rod is fixedly connected to the thigh pillow from front to back. One end of the first connecting rod and one end of the second connecting rod are connected via a pivot. The device also includes a foot pedal and a telescopic rod. One end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the lower side of the foot pedal, and the other end of the telescopic rod is connected to the other end of the first connecting rod. A strap is provided on the foot pedal. The calf pillow and the thigh pillow each have a through-hole groove on their upper and lower sides, and a through-hole groove on their upper and lower sides, respectively.
[0008] Furthermore, the straps are located at both ends of the foot pedal near the calf pillow.
[0009] Furthermore, the inner walls of the calf groove and the thigh groove are detachably covered with sweat-absorbing pads.
[0010] Furthermore, the calf pillow and thigh pillow are inflatable pillows.
[0011] Furthermore, the foot pedal is equipped with a foot massager.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are positive and obvious:
[0013] 1. The calf pillow and thigh pillow of this utility model are respectively provided with calf groove and thigh groove, and the patient's calf and thigh are placed in them respectively, thereby fixing the position of the patient's legs and achieving the effect of fixing the side-lying position.
[0014] 2. The first and second links of this utility model are connected by a pivot, which makes it easy to adapt to different knee flexion angles of patients.
[0015] 3. The foot pedal of this utility model fixes the patient's foot above the strap, thereby supporting the patient's foot and preventing foot drop.
[0016] 4. The telescopic rod of this utility model can be extended and retracted to adapt to patients with different leg lengths.
[0017] 5. The lower leg groove and thigh groove of this utility model are covered with replaceable sweat-absorbing pads to facilitate keeping the patient's body surface clean.
[0018] 6. The foot pedal of this utility model is equipped with a foot massager to promote blood circulation in patients. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The following embodiments will further illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment provides a leg clamping device to assist in fixing body position, which is suitable for patients lying on their side. When the patient lies on their side, their legs are stacked one on top of the other, and the leg clamping device in this embodiment is used to clamp between the two legs.
[0028] It includes a calf pillow 3 and a thigh pillow 4. The calf pillow 3 is fixedly connected to the front and back with a first connecting rod 1, and the thigh pillow 4 is fixedly connected to the front and back with a second connecting rod 2. One end of the first connecting rod 1 and one end of the second connecting rod 2 are connected by a pivot 7 to achieve a rotation effect, thereby changing the angle between the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2, and thus changing the angle between the calf pillow 3 and the thigh pillow 4, so as to adapt to different knee flexion angles of patients.
[0029] It includes a foot pedal 5 and a telescopic rod 6. One end of the telescopic rod 6 is fixed to the lower side of the foot pedal 5, and the other end of the telescopic rod 6 is connected to the other end of the first connecting rod 1. Specifically, the end of the first connecting rod 1 is hollow, and the telescopic rod 6 is inserted into the hollow first connecting rod 1 to achieve a sliding connection. The distance between the foot pedal 5 and the calf pillow 3 can be adjusted by adjusting the extension length of the telescopic rod 6 to accommodate patients with different leg lengths.
[0030] A strap 501 is installed on the foot pedal 5; the strap 501 is set at both ends of the foot pedal 5 near the calf pillow 3, and the patient's upper foot is fixed on the foot pedal 5 by the strap 501, thereby supporting the patient's foot and preventing foot drop.
[0031] The calf pillow 3 has a through calf groove 301 on its upper and lower sides, and the thigh pillow 4 has a through thigh groove 401 on its upper and lower sides. The lower leg 9's calf part is placed in the calf groove 301 on the lower side of the calf pillow 3, and the thigh part of the lower leg 9 is placed in the thigh groove 401 on the lower side of the thigh pillow 4. The upper leg 9's calf part is placed in the calf groove 301 on the upper side of the calf pillow 3, and the thigh part of the upper leg 9 is placed in the thigh groove 401 on the upper side of the thigh pillow 4. This clamps the calf pillow 3 and the thigh pillow 4 between the patient's legs, preventing the gap between the patient's legs 9 from being too large and causing unnatural bending.
[0032] The inner walls of the calf groove 301 and thigh groove 401 are detachably covered with replaceable disposable sweat-absorbing pads 8 to absorb sweat and keep the patient's body surface clean.
[0033] The working principle of this embodiment:
[0034] When the patient lies on their side, the lower leg 9 is placed in the lower leg groove 301 under the lower leg pillow 3, the thigh of the lower leg 9 is placed in the thigh groove 401 under the thigh pillow 4, the lower leg 9 is placed in the lower leg groove 301 above the lower leg pillow 3, and the thigh of the upper leg 9 is placed in the thigh groove 401 above the thigh pillow 4. This places the lower leg pillow 3 and the thigh pillow 4 between the patient's legs, preventing the gap between the patient's legs 9 from being too large and causing unnatural bending.
[0035] The patient's upper foot is placed on the foot pedal 5, and the length of the telescopic rod 6 is adjusted to match the patient's leg length. Then, the patient's foot is inserted into the strap 501 at one end and fixed to the foot pedal 5, thereby supporting the patient's foot and preventing foot drop.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] This embodiment is a preferred solution of Embodiment 1. The calf pillow 3 and thigh pillow 4 are both inflatable pillows, each with an inflation port. The distance between the patient's legs can be adjusted by inflating or deflating the air through the inflation port. They are also easy to store after being deflated.
[0038] The foot pedal 5 is equipped with a foot massager. The foot massager adopts a similar technical solution disclosed in CN208464616U, and uses multiple sets of massage protrusions to massage the patient's soles to promote blood circulation.
[0039] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
