The shape of the outer support layer is fixed, while the inner airbag layer can be inflated. In actual use, no matter how much gas is filled into the outer airbag layer, the overall support shape of the outer support layer can be guaranteed to remain unchanged.

[0019] Further improvements include a connecting buckle 16 on the opposite side of the support airbag 5, opposite to the fixing strap 10; the support groove 6 has an overall arc-shaped curved structure; and an extension groove 8 is provided in part of the support groove 6. The extension groove 8 has an arc-shaped structure. Specifically, the function of the extension groove 8 is to make the support groove 6 fit the ankle and heel better, avoiding excessive pressure on the patient's foot. At the same time, the extension groove 8 also has a certain ventilation effect.

[0020] Further improvements include the fixed side plate 9 being made of a material with deformable force, the fixed plug 13 being inserted into the fixed plug groove 14, both the fixed plug 13 and the fixed plug groove 14 having a cylindrical structure in the middle and a hemispherical structure at the end, and the positioning magnetic block 12 and the positioning magnetic block 2 11 being magnetically connected.

[0021] Further improvements include an inflation nozzle 3 that connects to a syringe, an anti-loss strap between the sealing plug 1 and the supporting airbag 2, the sealing plug 1 being made of rubber, and the supporting airbag 2 having a vent. The sealing plug 1 is inserted into the vent. Specifically, during inflation, the sealing plug 1 is fixed to the supporting airbag 2. After decompression is completed, the sealing plug 1 opens to release the internal gas.

[0022] In use: First, the protective pad 7 is placed in the support groove 6, and the fixing side plate 9 is moved onto the protective pad 7 and gradually moved so that the positioning magnetic block 12 and the positioning magnetic block 21 are magnetically connected. Simultaneously, the fixing plug 13 inserts part of the protective pad 7 into the fixing plug groove 14 to fix the protective pad 7. Then, the air cushion is placed on the patient's foot, with the patient's heel or ankle placed on the support groove 6. The patient's foot is only in contact with the protective pad 7. After the support is completed, the protective pad 7 can be discarded. The patient's ankle is placed at the extension groove 8 to avoid excessive pressure on the ankle. After placement, the syringe is connected to the inflation nozzle 3. At this time, the sealing plug 1 is inserted into the support airbag 2. The support airbag 2 and support airbag 25 are inflated by the syringe to support the patient's foot. Finally, one end of the fixing strap 10 is passed through the connecting buckle 16 and connected by Velcro to fix the airbag to the patient's foot, achieving a fixed support effect.

Their structure and principles can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. The problem solved by this utility model is that conventional air mattresses can only support the patient's legs and lack support for the patient's feet. The support structure of the foot, in the nursing process, generally uses rubber gloves inflated for temporary support, which leads to insufficient support effect. This utility model, through the combination of the above-mentioned components, such as the support airbag one and support airbag two, can support and decompress the patient's foot. The patient's foot is placed in the support groove and in contact with the protective pad. After completion, the support airbag one and support airbag two are inflated with a syringe to achieve the support effect. One end of the fixing strap passes through the connecting buckle 16, which can easily fix the airbag to the patient's foot and avoid displacement, thereby improving the support and decompression effect of the patient's foot and ensuring the overall nursing effect.
