Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a shoulder strap for use in the lateral decubitus position in neurosurgery. Background Technology

[0002] Patient positioning is an essential part of surgery. Proper positioning can prevent pressure-related injuries, expand the surgical field, reduce surgeon fatigue, and improve surgical efficiency. Surgeries on the posterior parietal region, posterior cranial fossa, posterior cranial base, and occipitocervical junction require the neurosurgical lateral decubitus position. In this position, the patient's upper shoulder should be pulled towards the feet and allowed to tilt forward. This facilitates exposure of the suboccipital space, especially in patients with short necks or who are obese. If the patient's shoulder cannot be effectively pulled, it will obstruct the surgeon's upward view, affecting the surgeon's work in the suboccipital and posterior cranial fossa areas. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a shoulder strap for neurosurgical lateral decubitus position, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A shoulder strap for lateral decubitus position in neurosurgery includes a shoulder strap, a chest band, and a bed rail fixing strap. The shoulder strap is symmetrically arranged above the chest band, and a connector is provided at the top of the shoulder strap. A silicone anti-slip shoulder pad is provided below the connector on one side of the shoulder strap. The chest band includes a middle band and side bands. The side bands are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the middle band. The bed rail fixing strap is provided at the end of the side band away from the middle band. A connecting strap is fixedly connected to the side band, and the bed rail fixing strap is provided at the end of the connecting strap away from the side band.

[0006] Furthermore, the connector uses Velcro.

[0007] Furthermore, the silicone anti-slip shoulder pad is movably fitted onto the shoulder strap.

[0008] Furthermore, the top of the intermediate band is V-shaped or U-shaped.

[0009] Furthermore, the connecting strip is inclined towards the side band and connected to the side band.

[0010] Furthermore, at least two bed rail fixing straps are provided on the side rails and connecting straps.

[0011] Beneficial effects:

[0012] The shoulder strap in this invention has a simple structure and is easy to use. When a patient needs to be placed in a neurosurgical lateral decubitus position during surgery, the shoulder strap can pull the patient's shoulder to avoid obstructing the surgeon's view, thus facilitating the surgeon's operation.

[0016] In the description of this embodiment, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this utility model is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a connection within two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0017] In addition, unless otherwise specified, the components used in the following embodiments are all existing components, and their corresponding connection methods can also be achieved through conventional technical means, which will not be described in detail in this application. The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] A shoulder strap for use in the lateral decubitus position during neurosurgery, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes shoulder straps 1, a chest band, and a bed rail fixing strap 7. The shoulder straps 1 are symmetrically arranged above the chest band. A connector 2 is provided at the top of the shoulder straps 1. A silicone anti-slip shoulder pad 3 is provided below the connector 2 on one side of the shoulder straps 1. The chest band includes a middle band 4 and side bands 5. The side bands 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the middle band 4. A bed rail fixing strap 7 is provided at the end of the side band 5 away from the middle band 4. A connecting strap 6 is fixedly connected to the side band 5. The bed rail fixing strap 7 is provided at the end of the connecting strap 6 away from the side band 5.

[0020] Specifically, the shoulder strap in this embodiment includes two shoulder straps 1 and a chest band. The two side bands 5 of the chest band are folded. The two shoulder straps 1 are connected close together by a connector 2 and form a hole with the middle band 4 for placement of the acromion. The bed rail fixing strap 7 provided at the end of the side band 5 is used to pull the patient's shoulder towards the leg and connect it to the bed rail for fixation. The bed rail fixing strap 7 on the connecting strap 6 further pulls the shoulder downward for fixation.

[0021] Preferably, the connector 2 uses Velcro. Specifically, one shoulder strap 1 has a rounded hook and loop side of Velcro, and the other shoulder strap 1 has a bristled hook and loop side of Velcro. The two shoulder straps 1 can be connected together by Velcro, and the length of the connected shoulder straps 1 can be adjusted by the connection of the Velcro to accommodate different patients.

[0022] Preferably, the silicone anti-slip shoulder pad 3 is movably fitted onto the shoulder strap 1. During use, the two shoulder straps 1 are connected together by the connector 2, so that the silicone anti-slip shoulder pad 3 can move on the connected shoulder straps 1. It can be moved to the patient's acromion or other suitable position to increase the friction between the shoulder strap 1 and the patient and prevent the shoulder strap 1 from slipping.

[0023] Preferably, the top of the middle band 4 is V-shaped or U-shaped, so that when the two side bands 5 are folded, a gap can be made in the middle of the middle band 4 to facilitate the placement of the patient's acromion.

[0024] Preferably, the connecting strap 6 is inclined to the side band 5. By setting the connecting strap 6 at an angle, it is easy to pull it downwards during use and fix it to the rear bed rail via the bed rail fixing strap 7, thereby pulling the patient's shoulder towards the legs to expose the surgical field.

[0025] Preferably, at least two bed rail fixing straps 7 are provided on the side bands 5 and the connecting straps 6. Multiple bed rail fixing straps 7 can more securely fix the patient, preventing the shoulder straps from loosening due to shaking or other accidents, thus avoiding interference with the surgeon's operation.

[0026] When using this device, first position the patient in a lateral decubitus position. Place the chest band on the upper armpit of the patient's chest wall. Attach the shoulder strap 1 according to the patient's size, taking care to avoid making the shoulder strap 1 too tight and affecting blood flow to the upper limb. After attaching, move the silicone anti-slip shoulder pad 3 to the acromion position. Then, first fix the bed rail fixing strap 7 on the side band 5 to the bed rail. Next, pull the bed rail fixing strap 7 on the connecting strap 6 diagonally downwards and fix it to the bed rail, thereby pulling the patient's shoulder towards the leg and preventing it from obstructing the surgical field of vision.

[0027] Although the embodiments of this utility model have been described in the specification, these embodiments are merely illustrative and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Various omissions, substitutions, and modifications made without departing from the spirit of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
