TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary instrument, concretely relates to a glove type grip. BACKGROUND
[0002] In nursing work, especially in the care process for the old group with symptoms of dementia and disability, nursing staff generally faces a series of complex and thorny problems. In view of the fact that the cognitive function of such old patients declines significantly, they often perform dangerous actions such as scratching the skin, pulling the catheter or tearing the diaper in an unconscious state, which can easily induce adverse events such as skin damage and catheter shedding, and seriously endanger the health of patients.
[0003] Traditional nursing methods, such as protective restraint belts and other measures, can suppress the unconscious actions of patients to some extent, but their tight binding characteristics often cause skin marks on the patients, even induce skin damage, and further aggravate the pain of patients. At the same time, long-term dependence on such restraint means can also severely limit the range of limb movement of patients, causing limb stiffness to worsen, and significantly reducing the comfort and quality of life of patients. The above problems not only pose a direct threat to patients, but also bring a heavy burden to the daily work of nursing staff.
[0004] In view of this, the applicant proposes a design concept of a glove type grip, aiming to provide a new idea and approach to solve the above problems. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
[0005] The utility model aims at providing a glove type grip, which can effectively prevent dementia and disabled old patients from causing unnecessary harm to themselves in an unconscious state.
[0006] The utility model solves the above problems by adopting the following technical scheme: a glove type grip, comprising a grip sleeve adapted to be worn on the palm and a cotton pad fixed to the palm center of the grip sleeve, wherein the cotton pad has elasticity, and when pinching, the cotton pad shrinks, and when relaxed, the thumb and the remaining fingers are separated, and the tip of the thumb does not contact the tips of the remaining fingers when pinching.
[0007] Preferably, the grip sleeve comprises a thumb wearing part, an index finger wearing part, a middle finger wearing part, a ring finger wearing part and a little finger wearing part, the cotton pad is fixed by sewing with the thumb wearing part, the index finger wearing part, the middle finger wearing part, the ring finger wearing part and the little finger wearing part, and a gap is left between adjacent sewing parts.
[0008] Preferably, the head end inside of the thumb wearing part, the index finger wearing part, the middle finger wearing part, the ring finger wearing part and the little finger wearing part is provided with a thickening layer.
[0009] Preferably, the thickened layer extends to the fingertip, and the surface of the extended portion is provided with several raised structures.
[0010] Preferably, the grip sleeve also includes an elastic opening that fits snugly against the wrist when worn, and an elastic band is provided inside the elastic opening.
[0011] Preferably, the back of the hand of the grip sleeve is provided with a flexible protective pad.
[0012] Preferably, the cotton pad has a cylindrical shape.
[0013] Preferably, the grip sleeve is made of a breathable and flexible material.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and effects:
[0015] The glove-style grip device of this invention effectively isolates the patient's fingers from the palm by sewing a cotton pad fixed to the palm of the grip, preventing direct contact between the thumb and other fingers and avoiding unconscious scratching of the skin, pulling of catheters, or other nursing devices. The elasticity and slow rebound properties of the cotton pad allow the patient's fingers to gradually return to a relatively natural state when relaxed, reducing the risk of exacerbating finger contractures caused by maintaining a bent posture for a long time.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0022] Example: See Figure 1 - Figure 3 In this embodiment, a glove-type grip device is specifically used for daily care of elderly patients with dementia and disability. Specifically, it includes a grip sleeve 11 that fits the palm and a cotton pad 12 fixed to the palm part 13 of the grip sleeve 11. The cotton pad 12 is elastic. When force is applied to squeeze, the cotton pad 12 contracts and when relaxed, it separates the thumb from the other fingers. When squeezing, the fingertip of the thumb does not contact the fingertip of the other fingers.
[0023] Specifically, in this embodiment, during the care of elderly patients with dementia and disability symptoms, a grip sleeve 11 of appropriate size is sewn and fixed to a cotton pad 12 according to the size of the patient's hand. The grip sleeve 11 is worn on the patient's hand, and the cotton pad 12 spreads the patient's thumb and other fingers apart. The cotton pad 12 is held in the palm of the hand, and the patient's fingers are in close contact with and supported by the cotton pad 12. The cotton pad 12 in this embodiment is made of memory foam, which has elastic and slow-rebound properties, allowing the cotton pad 12 to distribute pressure evenly when pressure is applied and gradually return to its original shape after the pressure is released. When the fingers relax, the rebound properties of memory foam help the fingers return to a relatively natural state, preventing the fingers from aggravating contractures due to prolonged bending. When the fingers are gripping, by setting an appropriately sized cotton pad 12, even when the cotton pad 12 is squeezed to its minimum state, the patient's thumb and other fingers still cannot touch, reducing the possibility of unplanned tube removal or diaper tearing.
[0024] The grip sleeve 11 includes a thumb wearing portion 21, an index finger wearing portion 22, a middle finger wearing portion 23, a ring finger wearing portion 24, and a little finger wearing portion 25. The cotton pad 12 is sewn and fixed to the base of the finger wearing portions (thumb wearing portion 21, index finger wearing portion 22, middle finger wearing portion 23, ring finger wearing portion 24, and little finger wearing portion 25), with gaps between adjacent sewn areas. This allows the fingers to remain naturally separated when the patient wears the sleeve, preventing friction and pressure between the fingers, reducing skin problems caused by prolonged close contact, and effectively alleviating finger stiffness caused by contractures. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cotton pad 12 is sewn to the base of the aforementioned finger wearing portions, opening the finger gaps so that the patient's palm is in an open position when wearing the sleeve, maintaining finger flexibility, promoting blood circulation in the hand, and aiding in the recovery of hand function.
[0025] The thumb wearing part 21, index finger wearing part 22, middle finger wearing part 23, ring finger wearing part 24, and little finger wearing part 25 are all equipped with a thickened layer 32 on the inner side of their tip 31. The thickened layer 32 can be made of flexible materials such as silicone. When the patient wears them, the fingernail will come into direct contact with these thickened layers 32, thereby achieving a dual effect of cushioning and protection. This design aims to avoid direct contact between the fingernail and the skin, effectively preventing potential damage to the skin caused by unconscious scratching or friction during the natural bending of the fingers. Especially for elderly patients with more sensitive and fragile skin, this design can significantly protect the integrity of their skin and further reduce the risk of infection caused by accidental scratching of the skin by the fingernail.
[0026] See Figure 4 Since the tactile nerves in the fingertips are relatively dense, the thickened layer 32 in this embodiment extends to the fingertips, and the surface of its extended part is also provided with several protruding structures 33. Through these protruding structures 33, the tactile nerves in the fingertips can be moderately stimulated, providing a gentle massage effect when the patient's fingers are moving, which helps to relieve finger fatigue, promote blood circulation, and improve the wearing comfort of the grip sleeve 11.
[0027] The grip sleeve 11 also includes an elastic opening 41 that fits and secures against the wrist when worn. The elastic opening 41 is provided with an elastic band that can adapt to different wrist sizes, ensuring that the glove fits securely against the wrist, thereby reducing the likelihood of the grip sleeve 11 falling off during use.
[0028] Elderly people suffering from dementia and disability symptoms may unconsciously swing their hands in daily life. In this embodiment, the back of the hand 14 of the grip sleeve 11 is provided with a flexible protective pad 42, which forms a buffer when the back of the hand is hit by an external object, providing protection for the back of the patient's hand and ensuring the patient's safety in daily use.
[0029] In this embodiment, the cotton pad 12 adopts a cylindrical shape design, which can better fit the natural curvature of the patient's palm.
[0030] The grip sleeve 11 is made of breathable and flexible material, specifically a combination of a lint-free cloth and microfiber fabric. This combination ensures the grip sleeve 11's comfort and breathability, effectively wicking away heat and moisture from the hands, keeping them dry. It is also soft and comfortable, suitable for extended wear. Compared to traditional pure cotton fabric, this material is more durable, better resisting stretching, abrasion, and frequent use, thus extending the lifespan of the grip sleeve 11. This not only improves the wearing comfort of the grip sleeve 11 but also enhances the product's durability.
[0031] The above description in this specification is merely illustrative of the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not depart from the content of this specification or exceed the scope defined in the claims, all of which shall fall within the protection scope of this invention.
