Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a hip height adjustment device for lithotomy position operation. Background Technology

[0002] The lithotomy position is the most commonly used position in gynecological and proctological surgeries, and it is also a common position during transvaginal ultrasound examinations. The patient lies supine on the examination table with her buttocks close to the edge of the bed and placed on a leg rest, maximizing exposure of the perineum. Figure 1 As shown.

[0003] When performing procedures in the lithotomy position, it is sometimes necessary to adjust the height of the hips to facilitate the physician's observation and manipulation. The usual method is to place a lumbar pillow, cushion, or the patient's fist under the patient's lower back and hips. However, the height adjustment is limited, and the patient's cooperation is required, which is inconvenient, especially for elderly, weak, and mobility-limited patients. The poor patient comfort makes the physician's operation cumbersome and strenuous.

[0004] This invention provides a hip height adjustment device for lithotomy position operations. It is quick and convenient to operate, can easily adjust the height, and does not require patient cooperation, thus reducing the burden on physicians. Utility Model Content

[0020] To provide a better understanding of the purpose, structure, features, and functions of this utility model, detailed descriptions are provided below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0021] Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the hip height adjustment device for lithotomy position operation according to an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment of the invention includes a hip height adjustment module 1 and a head height adjustment module 2. The hip height adjustment module 1 is located below the patient's waist and hips and is used to adjust the hip height. Changes in hip height can also affect the head, sometimes causing discomfort to the patient; therefore, a head height adjustment module 2 is also provided to adjust the head height.

[0022] Figure 3 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the hip height adjustment module according to an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 3 As shown, the hip height adjustment module 1 includes: a first support plate 11; a second support plate 12, one end of the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 are hinged together, and the second support plate 12 is located below the first support plate 11 during use; a secondary support plate 13, the other end of the secondary support plate 11 is hinged together, and the first support plate 11 and the secondary support plate 13 contact the patient's body during use; and a corrugated airbag 15, which is disposed between the second support plate 12 and the secondary support plate 13 and can be inflated by an air pump. The corrugated airbag 15 is provided with a valve core for air intake and exhaust. Surface air cushions 14 are provided on the first support plate 11 and the secondary support plate 13, and the surface air cushions 14 can be inflated by an air pump. The surface air cushions 14 are provided with valve cores for air intake and exhaust. Lubricating oil is disposed below the secondary support plate 13 and on the top of the corrugated airbag 15.

[0023] Before use, the patient lies flat on the hospital bed, just like lying on a regular hospital bed. When using, pre-position the hip height adjustment module 1 at the patient's lower back and hips. It can be placed at the estimated lower back and hip position before the patient gets into bed, or it can be placed there after the patient gets into bed. Since the hip height adjustment module 1 is a plate-like structure when not inflated, it is easy to insert under the patient's lower back and hips without causing any burden.

[0024] After placement, if the doctor feels the hip height is insufficient, the surface air cushion 14 can be inflated to raise the hip height. Figure 3 As shown in section (a).

[0025] If the doctor still feels the hip height is insufficient after the surface air cushion is fully inflated, the corrugated air bladder 15 can be inflated. As the corrugated air bladder 15 is inflated, the height of the secondary support plate 13 is gradually raised, thereby further increasing the hip height. The entire process does not require patient cooperation; the doctor only needs to operate the air pump switch and valve, making it very convenient.

[0026] A secondary support plate 13 is provided on the first support plate 11 to allow the secondary support plate 13 to make surface contact with the top of the bellows airbag 15, rather than line or point contact, thereby improving the service life of the bellows airbag 15 and reducing local stress concentration. The lower end of the bellows airbag 15 is fixed to the second support plate 12. Considering that the secondary support plate 13 will have horizontal displacement during lifting, lubricating oil is provided below the secondary support plate 13 and above the bellows airbag 15 to facilitate relative displacement between the secondary support plate 13 and the bellows airbag 15. Alternatively, a structure similar to a fixed pulley can be provided at the upper end of the bellows airbag 15 or below the secondary support plate 13 to achieve rolling friction with the secondary support plate 13, facilitating relative displacement between the secondary support plate 13 and the bellows airbag 15. Or, a slide rail can be provided below the secondary support plate 13, with a slider on the slide rail, and the slider connected to the bellows airbag 15, facilitating relative displacement between the secondary support plate 13 and the bellows airbag 15.

[0027] Figure 4 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the head height adjustment module according to an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 4 As shown, the head height adjustment module 2 includes: a first clamping plate 21; a second clamping plate 22, one end of which is connected to the first clamping plate 21 via a connecting spring 23; a support airbag 24, which is disposed between the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22, and is inflatable by an air pump, with a valve core on the airbag; and a headrest 25, which is disposed on the first clamping plate 21. To adjust the head height, the support airbag 24 is inflated. Since the head does not require as much height as the hips, a structure similar to a secondary support plate is not included.

[0028] The surface air cushion 14, the corrugated tube air bag 15, and the support air bag 24 can be operated by different valves on the same air pump, or by different air pumps, depending on the user's needs. If the surface air cushion 14, the corrugated tube air bag 15, and the support air bag 24 are operated by different valves on the same air pump, the air pump switch can be controlled by the physician, while the opening and closing of the different valves is manually operated by the physician. Alternatively, the different valves can be electric valves, and the switches of the different valves and the air pump can be integrated into a single control panel or a single remote control for convenient centralized operation by the physician.

[0029] If the surface air cushion 14, the corrugated tube air bag 15, and the support air bag 24 are operated by different air pumps, the switches of the different air pumps can be integrated into a single switch control panel or a single remote control, making it convenient for physicians to operate them centrally.

[0030] This invention provides a hip height adjustment device for lithotomy position procedures. It is quick and convenient to operate, allowing for easy height adjustment without patient cooperation, thus reducing the burden on physicians. Furthermore, its soft material ensures patient comfort. It has a wide range of applications, including anorectal procedures, gynecological examinations, and transvaginal ultrasound procedures.
