Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of medical devices, specifically relating to a multifunctional pressure ulcer ruler. Background Technology

[0002] Pressure ulcers are localized injuries to the skin and / or subcutaneous tissue caused by pressure or pressure combined with shear force, usually located at bony prominences. Pressure ulcers can cause pain and affect the treatment of diseases; in severe cases, they can lead to sepsis and endanger the patient's life. Once a pressure ulcer develops, the workload of nursing care increases, and the incidence of pressure ulcers, as an important indicator of nursing quality, has always been a focus of nursing work.

[0003] In existing pressure ulcer measurement techniques, length and width need to be measured separately, which results in the vertical axis used to measure length and the horizontal axis used to measure width not being perpendicular, leading to measurement errors. In addition, there are certain problems with clinical nurses' insufficient understanding of the prevention of pressure ulcers at different stages, inaccurate pressure ulcer scoring, accurate measurement of pressure ulcer size, standardized description of pressure ulcers, and the use of plastic rulers to measure the area of ​​pressure ulcers in clinical practice. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned technical defects, this utility model provides a multifunctional pressure ulcer ruler, which can solve the technical problem of how to accurately measure pressure ulcers in the prior art.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] Furthermore, in the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0027] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a multifunctional pressure ulcer ruler, which includes: a first measuring ruler 1, one end of which is provided with a first rotating end; a second measuring ruler 2, one end of which is provided with a second rotating end, the second rotating end being rotatably connected to the first rotating end, so that the multifunctional pressure ulcer ruler has multiple working states as the rotation angle changes, the working states including a storage state, a measuring state, and an extended state.

[0028] When the multi-functional pressure ulcer ruler is in the stored state, the rotation angle between the first measuring ruler and the second measuring ruler is 0°; when the multi-functional pressure ulcer ruler is in the measuring state, the rotation angle between the first measuring ruler and the second measuring ruler is 90°; when the multi-functional pressure ulcer ruler is in the extended state, the rotation angle between the first measuring ruler and the second measuring ruler is 180°.

[0029] The first or second measuring ruler is equipped with illustrations and symptom charts for each stage of pressure ulcers, a Braden assessment chart, a wound assessment record chart, and a clock.

[0030] Specifically, during measurement, the first measuring ruler is rotated around a pivot point, so that the rotation angle between the first and second measuring rulers is 90°. The multifunctional pressure ulcer ruler is placed on the pressure ulcer location and a photo is taken for archiving. The archived photo directly shows the size of the pressure ulcer, allowing for direct measurement of its length and width, avoiding the hassle of measuring length and width separately. When measuring the size of a pressure ulcer, a clock face can be used as a reference, treating the entire human body as a clock face. The head is always referenced to 12 o'clock, and the feet are always referenced to 6 o'clock. The maximum length measured from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock is defined as the length, meaning the maximum length measured along the body's longitudinal axis regardless of the location of the wound. The maximum length measured from 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock is defined as the width, meaning the maximum length measured perpendicular to the body's longitudinal axis. When measuring foot wounds, the heel direction should be clearly defined as 12 o'clock, and the toe direction as 6 o'clock. This effectively improves the accuracy and efficiency of the operation and prevents confusion between length and width during measurement.

[0031] The front of either the first or second measuring ruler has illustrations and symptom charts for each stage of pressure ulcers, along with pictures of each stage and the corresponding symptoms, providing nurses with an objective reference for pressure ulcer staging assessment and improving the accuracy of the assessment.

[0032] The multi-functional pressure ulcer ruler is placed in the photography area as required. Referring to images and symptoms of pressure ulcers at different stages, the area of ​​the pressure ulcer is accurately calculated, the location of the pressure ulcer is identified, and the stage of the pressure ulcer is determined based on the photos. It is important to ensure that the pressure ulcer ruler and the pressure ulcer are included in the frame, and that the ruler is as close to the pressure ulcer as possible to obtain accurate data. The front of either the first or second measuring ruler has a Braden assessment form. Based on the assessment results, high-risk patients for pressure ulcers are screened, and the high-risk stage of the pressure ulcer is determined, allowing nurses to take timely preventative measures.

[0033] The back of either the first or second measuring ruler is equipped with a wound assessment record sheet and a clock. This guide instructs nurses on how to assess and record wound descriptions based on the wound assessment triangle. The assessment includes standard color blocks in black, red, yellow, and pink, used to evaluate the color of the pressure ulcer base. Users can directly compare the base color with the wound color, ensuring accuracy and avoiding subjective judgments. This also prevents color differences caused by photographic angles and environmental factors during archiving, thus restoring the true color of the wound. The base color is used to compare the proportions of various tissues and colors within the wound, expressed as 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. For example, it could be recorded as 50% black necrotic tissue, 25% yellow necrotic tissue, and 25% red granulation tissue. For wounds with undermining, sinus tracts, or fistulas, the center of the rotating axis of the wound ruler can be aligned with the center of the wound, and the direction can be read clockwise, providing the user with a concrete reference point.

[0034] This application enables simultaneous measurement of the length and width of pressure ulcers in its measuring state, effectively improving the accuracy and efficiency of the operation and preventing confusion between length and width during measurement. Furthermore, the measurement process can be combined with pressure ulcer illustrations, symptom charts, and Braden assessment forms to facilitate clinical nurses' scoring and standardized description of pressure ulcers. In its storage state, the multifunctional pressure ulcer ruler is easily stored and carried. In its extended state, it can measure large-area wounds. This multifunctional pressure ulcer ruler avoids cross-infection; improves nurses' accurate judgment and intuitive presentation of pressure ulcer staging and Braden pressure ulcer risk assessment; improves the accuracy of wound area measurement and recording; meets the needs of large-area wound measurement; and is foldable for easy carrying during storage. Its simple manufacturing method, low cost, and easy operation provide important data for wound care, teaching, and research data collection, preservation, and statistics, making it suitable for widespread application in clinical wound care.

[0035] In this embodiment, both the first measuring ruler and the second measuring ruler are provided with scale lines so that the length and width can be read using the scale lines on the first measuring ruler and the second measuring ruler.

[0036] In one embodiment, both the first and second measuring rulers are made of straight cardboard, which is low in manufacturing cost and can be used once, improving hygiene during pressure ulcer measurement and preventing cross-infection. The pressure ulcer illustrations and symptom charts for each stage, the Braden assessment form, the wound assessment record form, and the clock are printed on the surface of the straight cardboard.

[0037] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the straight cardboard is covered with plastic to increase the strength of the multifunctional pressure ulcer ruler and prevent damage to the straight cardboard of the multifunctional pressure ulcer ruler.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first rotating end and the second rotating end are connected by a rotating shaft 3 so that the first measuring ruler can be rotated using the rotating shaft.

[0039] In other embodiments, both the first and second measuring rulers are made of plastic material.

[0040] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
