Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pectus carinatum correction devices, specifically to a pectus carinatum correction device that can be adjusted according to growth and development. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the treatment of pectus carinatum, especially for younger children with milder deformities, external devices such as specially designed pectus carinatum braces can be used to alleviate or correct the deformity. Early corrective treatment is effective in children with pectus carinatum, but there is a possibility of relapse, requiring long-term wear. However, long-term wear presents another problem: the child's growth and development. Children's growth is not static, but the specifications of existing pectus carinatum braces are fixed.

[0003] Existing pectus carinatum braces, whether using compression plates or backboards, are only suitable for a limited period of pectus carinatum correction. Since the compression plates and backboards are fixed, they need to be replaced frequently as the body grows, especially during the rapid growth phase of puberty, which undoubtedly places a financial burden on patients and their families. Furthermore, a new brace requires a break-in period, and each replacement adds to the burden on the patient. On the other hand, due to the limited range of correction positions, existing braces cannot accommodate adjustments needed to correct pectus carinatum in different areas of the body.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the structure of existing pectus carinatum correctors in order to meet the needs of children's growth and development as much as possible and reduce the economic and usage burden on patients. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a pigeon chest corrector that can be adjusted according to growth and development, which can meet the needs of children's growth and development and reduce the economic and usage burden on patients.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An adjustable pectus excavatum corrector includes a corrective plate, a fixing strip, a back plate, an adjustable connecting strap, and a carrying strap. The corrective plate has several horizontally and vertically arranged adjustment holes, and the corrective plate is fixed to the fixing strip through these adjustment holes. The back plate includes a plate body and an adjustable connecting groove disposed on the plate body. The adjustable connecting groove includes an initial connecting groove and a later connecting groove, with the initial connecting groove located at the upper end of the plate body and the later connecting groove located at the lower end of the plate body. The two ends of the fixing strip are horizontally connected to the two ends of the back plate via the adjustable connecting strap, and the carrying strap passes through the adjustable connecting groove and connects to either the fixing strip or the adjustable connecting strap.

[0008] Furthermore, the correction plate is configured as a rectangular plate, and the rectangular plate is provided with a number of adjustment holes arranged in a matrix, which facilitates flexible and convenient adjustment according to different developmental stages.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixing strip is provided with fixing holes corresponding to the adjustment holes, and at least two fixing holes are provided to ensure a more stable fixation and improve the overall service life.

[0010] Furthermore, the initial connection groove and the later connection groove are arranged in parallel, and each has two grooves on the same horizontal plane.

[0011] Furthermore, the horizontal distance between the two initial connecting slots is less than the horizontal distance between the two later connecting slots. This facilitates flexible and convenient adjustment at different developmental stages, improves product lifespan, and reduces operating costs.

[0012] Furthermore, the adjustable connecting strap is provided with an adjustment buckle.

[0013] Furthermore, the adjusting buckle is designed to tighten the strip, making it flexible, convenient, and low-cost to use.

[0014] Furthermore, the shoulder strap is configured as an adjustable shoulder strap.

[0015] Furthermore, the pectus carinatum corrector has a soft surface that contacts the skin. To avoid skin friction, the patient can wear it with their upper body bare.

[0016] The beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. The adjustable pectus carinatum corrector of this invention significantly improves its lifespan through the structural design of the corrective plate and backplate. Several adjustment holes on the corrective plate facilitate easy adjustment as the body develops. The backplate features initial and later connecting slots; if the initial connecting slot becomes unsuitable due to rapid growth, the backplate can be flipped over to use the later connecting slot. This ingenious design is simple to operate, saves on operating costs, and eliminates the need for equipment replacement, reducing the burden on patients. It also further reduces waste of medical equipment, maximizing its utilization.

[0018] 2. The pigeon chest corrector of this utility model is adjustable with growth and development. The corrector plate can be flexibly adjusted according to the patient's specific situation. After the highest point of the pigeon chest is leveled, the position of the corrector plate can be adjusted to further flatten the pigeon chest at the second highest point. It is flexible, convenient and easy to use, and has significant effects. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 1-3As shown, this utility model provides an adjustable pigeon chest corrector that can adapt to growth and development, meeting the needs of children's growth and development while reducing the economic and usage burden on patients. It includes a corrective plate 1, a fixing strip 6, a back plate 3, an adjustable connecting strap 4, and a carrying strap 2. The corrective plate 1 has several horizontally and vertically arranged adjustment holes 11, which are used to fix the corrective plate 1 to the fixing strip 6. Specifically, in this embodiment, the corrective plate 1 is a rectangular plate with several matrix-arranged adjustment holes 11, facilitating flexible and convenient adjustment according to different developmental stages. The fixing strip 6 has fixing holes corresponding to the adjustment holes 11, with at least two fixing holes to ensure a more stable fixation and improve the overall service life. In this embodiment, four fixing holes are arranged side-by-side. The corrective plate 1 and the fixing strip 6 are fixed with bolts, allowing for adjustment as needed, resulting in a simple structure and easy disassembly.

[0031] The backplate 3 includes a plate body and adjustable connecting grooves disposed on the plate body. The adjustable connecting grooves include an initial connecting groove 31 and a later connecting groove 32. The initial connecting groove 31 is disposed at the upper end of the plate body, and the later connecting groove 32 is disposed at the lower end of the plate body. The initial connecting groove 31 and the later connecting groove 32 are arranged parallel to each other, and two of each are disposed on the same horizontal plane. The horizontal distance between the two initial connecting grooves 31 is less than the horizontal distance between the two later connecting grooves 32. This facilitates flexible and convenient adjustment at different developmental stages, improves the product's service life, and reduces operating costs. In specific use, when the body develops rapidly and the initial connecting groove 31 is no longer suitable, the backplate 3 can be directly flipped over to use the later connecting groove 32. This operation is simple, saves operating costs, and eliminates the need to replace equipment, reducing the burden on patients.

[0032] The two ends of the fixing strip 6 are horizontally connected to the two ends of the back plate 3 via adjustable connecting straps 4. The shoulder strap 2 passes through the adjustable connecting groove and is connected to the fixing strip 6 or the adjustable connecting strap 4. In this utility model, the shoulder strap 2 is connected to the fixing strip 6, and the fixing strip 6 has a connecting buckle 5. The shoulder strap 2 is configured as an adjustable shoulder strap 2.
