DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] The present application discloses a face mask type pressure ulcer prevention pad.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 5 A face mask type pressure ulcer prevention pad, comprising a pressure relief pad 1, the pressure relief pad 1 is provided with a face groove 11 adapted to the face, the face groove 11 comprises a mouth and nose part 12, the mouth and nose part 12 is provided with a sputum outlet 121, a water collecting cup 122 is arranged below the sputum outlet 121, the pressure relief pad 1 is provided with an opening groove 13 for placing a trachea 132 and a gastric tube 131, the opening groove 13 is communicated with the mouth and nose part 12 and the outside of the pressure relief pad 1. When the pressure ulcer prevention pad is used, the face is placed in the face groove 11, the inner wall of the face groove 11 is in contact with the face, which can effectively increase the contact area to reduce the stress on the face of the patient, the patient can timely spit out the mouth water and sputum in the respiratory tract into the water collecting cup 122 through the sputum outlet 121, and the medical staff can place the trachea 132 and the gastric tube 131 in the opening groove 13, which can effectively avoid the patient from bending the trachea 132 and the gastric tube 131 unintentionally.

[0035] When the patient helps to spit out sputum in a prone position, the patient will spit out more mouth water and sputum due to the long time, and therefore the water collecting cup 122 will quickly accumulate sputum and mouth water. The pressure relief pad 1 is provided with a sputum suction pipeline 14 connected with the sputum outlet 121 and the outside of the pressure relief pad 1, the sputum suction pipeline 14 is provided with a suction tube 141, one end of the suction tube 141 extends into the water collecting cup 122. The medical staff can timely remove the mouth water and sputum in the water collecting cup 122 through the suction tube 141, so that the foreign matter in the water collecting cup 122 can overflow when the patient uses the pressure ulcer prevention pad for a long time, which effectively prolongs the continuous use time of the pressure ulcer prevention pad by the patient.

[0036] In the present fact example, a micro water pump is connected with the suction tube 141 to facilitate the removal of sputum and mouth water in the water collecting cup 122.

[0037] In order to keep the suction tube 141, the air tube 132 and the stomach tube 131 stable as much as possible, avoid bending and dragging to ensure stable work. The suction tube 141, the air tube 132 and the stomach tube 131 are provided with fixing claws 133 on the inner wall of the open slot 13. The fixing claws 133 are used to further limit the suction tube 141, the air tube 132 and the stomach tube 131. When the suction tube 141, the air tube 132 and the stomach tube 131 are installed, the fixing claws 133 press the tubes into the corresponding groove bottom, effectively increasing the installation strength of the suction tube 141, the air tube 132 and the stomach tube 131, avoiding the tubes from being accidentally knocked off by the patient or medical staff to affect the use of the patient.

[0038] When the patient uses the pressure ulcer prevention pad, the head is inevitably raised. In order to reduce the height difference between the head and the trunk of the patient when using the pressure ulcer prevention pad, the pressure relief pad 1 is provided with a slope 2 on the side close to the patient. The slope 2 and the side of the pressure relief pad 1 close to each other are provided with mounting grooves, and the mounting grooves are provided with fixing blocks 21 for connecting the adjacent mounting grooves. The mounting grooves and the fixing blocks 21 install and connect the slope 2 and the pressure relief pad 1. When the patient uses the pressure ulcer prevention pad, the face is placed in the face pattern groove 11 and the front chest is pressed on the slope 2, so that the patient's chest and head are more stable and smooth, reducing the neck pressure of the patient, effectively improving the comfort of the patient during use.

[0039] Because the face needs to be in contact with the inside of the face pattern groove 11 for a long time, the patient also needs to turn the face in a small range to help relieve the pressure on the face. The open slot 13 is located on both sides of the face pattern groove 11, and the edges of both sides of the face pattern groove 11 are provided with transition portions 16 for smoothly connecting the face pattern groove 11 and the upper end surface of the pressure relief pad 1. The slope 2 and the pressure relief pad 1 are made of pressure relief gel material. When the patient uses the pressure ulcer prevention pad and turns the face, the patient's face will turn to the transition portion 16 and then turn to the upper side of the pressure relief pad 1 along the transition portion 16. At this time, the patient's face is separated from the inner wall of the face pattern groove 11, effectively facilitating the patient to turn the face to relieve the pressure on the face.

[0040] The pressure relief gel material mentioned in this paper is a soft material commonly used in the medical equipment industry. Its technical features and use methods are well known to those skilled in the art, so this paper will not be repeated here.

[0041] In order to adjust the angle of the pressure relief pad 1, the patient in the prone position is more comfortable. The lower side of the pressure relief pad 1 is provided with a length-adjustable support foot 17, and the pressure relief pad 1 is provided with a placing groove for placing the support foot 17. The support foot 17 is located on the side of the pressure relief pad 1 away from the slope 2, and one end of the support foot 17 is hinged to the inner wall of the placing groove. When the patient uses the device, the patient can choose whether to use the support foot 17 and the length of the support foot 17 to adjust the inclination angle of the pressure relief pad 1, effectively adjusting the inclination angle of the pressure relief pad 1 to the angle suitable for the patient.

[0042] Because the upper arms of the patient are placed on both sides of the face mask groove 11 when the patient is prone, the upper limbs of the patient will be paralyzed after a long time of placement. In order to alleviate the situation of upper limb paralysis of the patient, the decompression pad 1 is provided with an upper limb groove 15 located on both sides of the face mask groove 11. When the patient uses it, the arms are naturally stretched upwards, at this time the arms are located in the upper limb groove 15. When the patient is placed in the upper limb groove 15, because the skin has a large contact area with the inner wall of the upper limb groove 15, the pressure received by the arm can be effectively reduced, thereby alleviating the situation of upper limb paralysis after a long time of placement.

[0043] In order to facilitate medical staff to disassemble and clean the used water collecting cup 122, the water collecting cup 122 and the decompression pad 1 are designed as detachable connection. The sputum outlet 121 is communicated with both sides of the decompression pad 1, and the inner wall of the sputum outlet 121 is provided with a sliding groove along the length direction. The end of the sliding groove close to the patient is provided with a recess for fixing the water collecting cup 122. The outer edge of the water collecting cup 122 is provided with a protrusion, and the protrusion is slidably connected with the inner wall of the sliding groove. The medical staff moves the water collecting cup 122 upwards along the sliding groove, and rotates the water collecting cup 122 to rotate the protrusion into the recess. The detachable installation of the water collecting cup 122 is completed through the recess and the protrusion, which effectively facilitates the medical staff to disassemble and clean the water collecting cup 122.

[0044] The above are the preferred embodiments of the present application, which do not limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made on the basis of the structure, shape and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
