Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical tools, and in particular to a diabetic foot toe separator. Background Technology

[0002] Foot infections can be caused by distal lower limb nerve abnormalities and varying degrees of vascular disease in diabetic patients. ulcer Deep tissue damage can lead to diabetic foot. Patients with diabetic foot experience reduced or lost protective sensation in their feet. If the toes are constantly pressed together without ventilation, it can cause cross-infection, inflammation, and injury, which patients often cannot detect in time, easily leading to the spread of the lesions and serious consequences. To avoid prolonged toe compression and improve foot ventilation in diabetic foot patients, rolled-up gauze can be placed between the toes, but this is prone to falling off.

[0003] Several patents disclose items for separating toes in diabetic foot. Patent application number 201320029266.X discloses a diabetic foot toe separator, including an upper and lower pad with elasticity and flexibility, with an elastic and flexible vertical isolation pad between the upper and lower pads. This invention constitutes an "I"-shaped three-dimensional isolation pad that fits between the toes of a diabetic foot patient, effectively separating the toes and allowing for vertical positioning via the upper and lower pads, thereby preventing overlap and compression of the toes. The toe separator disclosed in this patent is essentially similar to a rolled-up gauze pad placed between the toes; although it can be vertically positioned to prevent it from falling out, it may still move forward and fall out.

[0004] Patent application number 201520704754.5 discloses a diabetic foot toe separator, including a toe sleeve. The top and bottom surfaces of the toe sleeve are a top plate and a sole plate, respectively. The top plate and sole plate are connected on both sides by an elastic material. Slides are provided on the inner sides of both the top plate and sole plate. A separation plate connecting the top plate and sole plate is provided inside the toe sleeve. The separation plates are arranged in parallel and have ventilation holes. Slider blocks that cooperate with the slides are provided on the top and bottom surfaces of the separation plates, and the sliders slide within the slides. The cross-section of the separation plate along the slide direction is a symmetrical arc shape, narrow in the middle and wide at both sides. This toe separator uses the separation plates to separate the patient's toes, but its large size makes it suitable for fixed use and it cannot move with the patient's foot; even if it could move with the patient's foot, it still has the problem of falling out forward. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a diabetic foot toe separator that can be stably fixed on the patient's foot to separate the toes.

[0006] The technical solution adopted to address the above-mentioned problems is as follows: The diabetic foot toe separator includes a separating band and an ankle strap; the separating band includes a separating band body and separating blocks, with four separating blocks, each connected to the middle of the separating band body and located on the same side of the separating band body, and the separating blocks are spaced apart along the length of the separating band body; the ankle strap includes an ankle strap body and two connecting straps connected to the ankle strap body; when using the diabetic foot toe separator: the ankle strap body is worn on the ankle, and the two connecting straps are located on the left and right sides of the ankle respectively; the separating band body fits against the front of the toe, the separating blocks are located between adjacent toes, and the two ends of the separating band body are connected to the two connecting straps respectively.

[0007] Furthermore, the separating block is drum-shaped, and the separating band fits into the separating block, making the middle part of the separating band U-shaped.

[0008] Furthermore, the separate block comprises a rigid plastic inner layer and a silicone outer layer attached to the outside of the rigid plastic inner layer.

[0009] Furthermore, the rigid plastic inner layer has a hollow structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the middle part of the separate belt has several air vents.

[0011] Furthermore, the separate strap and the connecting strap are connected by Velcro.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting belt has an elastic section.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: when using this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the ankle strap system is on the ankle, with two connecting straps located on the left and right sides of the ankle respectively; the separating strap fits against the front of the toes, the separating block is located between adjacent toes, and the two ends of the separating strap are connected to the two connecting straps respectively.

[0014] The separating blocks keep the toes apart, preventing cross-infection, inflammation, and injury, thus offering some preventative benefits against diabetic foot symptoms. Each end of the separating band connects to two connecting straps, ensuring the middle section remains in close contact with the toes and preventing the separating blocks from shifting away. The patient's leg can move with the separating device on, and both leg and toe movements maintain the separation, offering better anti-detachment effects compared to existing technologies. Furthermore, the separating blocks are positioned between the toes' tips, minimizing the force exerted on the toes. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the diabetic foot toe separator includes a separating band 1 and an ankle band 2. The separating band 1 includes a separating band body 11 and separating blocks 12. There are four separating blocks 12, each connected to the middle of the separating band body 11 and located on the same side of the separating band body 11. The separating blocks 12 are spaced apart along the length of the separating band body 11. The ankle band 2 includes an ankle band body 21 and two connecting bands 22 connected to the ankle band body 21. When the diabetic foot toe separator is in use: the ankle band body 21 is tied to the ankle, and the two connecting bands 22 are located on the left and right sides of the ankle, respectively. The separating band body 11 fits against the front end of the toe, the separating blocks 12 are located between adjacent toes, and the two ends of the separating band body 11 are connected to the two connecting bands 22, respectively.

[0024] When using this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the ankle strap 21 is tied around the ankle, and the two connecting straps 22 are located on the left and right sides of the ankle respectively; the separating strap 11 fits against the front of the toes, the separating block 12 is located between adjacent toes, and the two ends of the separating strap 11 are connected to the two connecting straps 22 respectively.

[0025] The spacer 12 separates the toes, preventing cross-infection and inflammation, and offering some preventative benefits against diabetic foot symptoms. The two ends of the separating band 11 are connected to two connecting bands 22, ensuring the middle of the separating band 11 remains in contact with the toes, preventing the separating band 12 from shifting away from the toes. The patient's leg can move with the separating device on, and both leg and toe movements maintain the separation of the toes, providing a better anti-detachment effect compared to existing technologies. Furthermore, the separating band 12 is located between the toes, resulting in less force exerted on the toes.

[0026] The separating block 12 can be a common shape such as a cylinder or a sphere. Preferably, the separating block 12 is drum-shaped, and the separating band 1 fits snugly against the separating block 12, making the middle part of the separating band 1 U-shaped. The significance of this design is that the middle part of the separating band 1 can cover the front of the toes, preventing the separating band from moving up and down, thus preventing the separating block 12 from moving away from the toes.

[0027] Specifically, the preferred separating block 12 comprises a rigid plastic inner layer 122 and a silicone outer layer 121 attached to the outside of the rigid plastic inner layer 122. The rigid plastic inner layer 122 has a hollow structure. This makes the separating block 12 very light and also gives its surface a good tactile feel.

[0028] To further improve the breathability of the separating band 11, it is preferable that the separating band 11 has several air holes 111 in the middle. The separating band 11 can be made of cotton cloth.

[0029] The ankle strap 21 and the connecting strap 22 can also be made of cotton fabric. The ankle strap 21 is tied around the ankle, but it does not need to be tied too tightly. To facilitate a better fit between the separating strap 11 and the front of the toes, the connecting strap 22 preferably has an elastic portion 221. The elastic portion 221 can stretch and rebound to pull the separating strap 11 back, further ensuring that the separating block 12 does not fall out.

[0030] The preferred method for connecting the separating strap 11 and the connecting strap 22 is via Velcro. Specifically, both the ends of the separating strap 11 and the connecting strap 22 are connected to Velcro components, and the connection is achieved through the fastening of the Velcro components. This method is very simple, and the position of the Velcro is adjustable, thus accommodating different foot lengths and allowing adjustment of the stretch of the elastic part 221 of the connecting strap. The elastic part 221 of the connecting strap can be made of elastic bandage.
