Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, and in particular to a waist circumference measuring device. Background Technology
[0002] Patients undergoing abdominal surgery, those with advanced cancer, and those with kidney disease often experience abdominal edema. Clinically, abdominal circumference measurement is used to monitor changes in abdominal circumference and understand the patient's condition. Currently, a soft measuring tape is used clinically for measurement, with common positions including standing and supine. However, post-abdominal surgery patients often experience pain, ascites, and limited mobility, making it inconvenient for them to stand and forcing them to lie supine. The soft measuring tape used in regular practice is easily bent or folded against the back during measurement, leading to inaccurate results. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides a waist circumference measuring device to solve the technical problem that when measuring patients in a supine position, the soft measuring tape is easily bent or folded on the back during measurement, resulting in inaccurate measurement results.
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a waist circumference measuring device, comprising:
[0005] The baseband has positioning holes and multiple buckles at both ends on the same side, with the multiple buckles arranged in a straight line along the length of the baseband.
[0006] A horizontal scale ruler is inserted into the buckle, with the central axis of the horizontal scale ruler coinciding with the center of the positioning hole, so that one side of the horizontal scale ruler is in contact with the side of the base band where the buckle is located.
[0007] A first longitudinal scale ruler and a second longitudinal scale ruler are respectively arranged on both sides of the horizontal scale ruler. One end of the first longitudinal scale ruler is fixedly connected to one side of the base band, and one end of the second longitudinal scale ruler is fixedly connected to the other side of the base band. The length directions of the first longitudinal scale ruler and the second longitudinal scale ruler are perpendicular to the length direction of the base band.
[0008] Furthermore, the positioning hole is located in the middle of the baseband.
[0009] Furthermore, the baseband material is polyurethane.
[0010] Furthermore, the length of the baseband is less than or equal to the length of the horizontal scale ruler, and the width of the baseband is greater than the width of the horizontal scale ruler.
[0011] Furthermore, the length of the baseband is 90cm-120cm.
[0012] Furthermore, the baseband has multiple sets of vias, each set of vias including two spaced openings, and the baseband portion between the two vias in each set forms the buckle.
[0013] Furthermore, the first vertical scale ruler and the second vertical scale ruler have the same length, and the lengths of the first vertical scale ruler and the second vertical scale ruler are 15cm-20cm.
[0014] Furthermore, the other side of the baseband is provided with a numerical rating scale for abdominal distension.
[0015] Furthermore, the abdominal distension numerical rating scale is integrally formed with the baseband.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment:
[0017] This utility model's abdominal circumference measuring device has two ends of a horizontal graduated tape measure secured to the front of a base band by clips, preventing the tape measure from folding during use. In use, the back of the base band is close to the skin, the positioning hole is aligned with the navel, and the front of the base band allows the horizontal graduated tape measure to be wrapped around the navel for measurement and reading. This ensures that the abdominal circumference measurement position remains consistent each time, providing repeatability and more accurate results. Since patients after abdominal surgery often lie supine, after locating the navel through the positioning hole, one end of the horizontal graduated tape measure passes behind the patient, allowing for horizontal pulling. This makes measurement more convenient, less prone to folding, and allows the tape measure to move parallel to the base band. For patients with larger abdominal circumferences, a suitable horizontal graduated tape measure can be replaced.
[0018] When the patient's abdomen is wrapped with gauze and the navel is covered, the midpoint between the lowest edge of the rib and the upper edge of the iliac bone, i.e. the narrowest part of the waist, can be measured using a first longitudinal scale ruler and a second longitudinal scale ruler.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a waist circumference measuring device, comprising:
[0029] The base belt 10 has positioning holes 11 and multiple buckles 12 at both ends on the same side of the base belt 10. The multiple buckles 12 are arranged in a straight line along the length of the base belt 10.
[0030] A horizontal scale ruler 20 is inserted into the buckle 12. The central axis of the horizontal scale ruler coincides with the center of the positioning hole, so that one side of the horizontal scale ruler 20 is in contact with the side of the base band 10 where the buckle 12 is located.
[0031] The first longitudinal scale ruler 30 and the second longitudinal scale ruler 40 are respectively set on both sides of the horizontal scale ruler 20. One end of the first longitudinal scale ruler 30 is fixedly connected to one side of the base band 10, and one end of the second longitudinal scale ruler 40 is fixedly connected to the other side of the base band 10. The length direction of the first longitudinal scale ruler 30 and the second longitudinal scale ruler 40 is perpendicular to the length direction of the base band 10.
[0032] Specifically, the side of the baseband 10 with the buckle 12 is the front, and the other side is the back.
[0033] Specifically, the central axis of the horizontal scale ruler 20 is the center line of the length direction of the horizontal scale ruler 20.
[0034] Specifically, multiple buckles 12 are arranged in a straight line along the length of the base band 10, and the central axis of the horizontal scale ruler 20 coincides with the center of the positioning hole 11, so that the horizontal scale ruler 20 and the positioning hole 11 are on the same straight line, and the measurement results are more accurate.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a buckle 12 is provided on the base band 10. The buckle 12 can be a thin strip made of the same material as the base band 10. The two ends of the thin strip are fixed to the front of the base band 10. The horizontal scale ruler 20 can pass through the buckle 12, so that the horizontal scale ruler 20 can fit with the base band 10, restricting the horizontal scale ruler 20 from rotating and folding during use, and avoiding affecting the measurement results.
[0036] In other embodiments, the baseband 10 has multiple sets of vias, each set of vias including two spaced openings, and the portion of the baseband 10 between the two vias in each set forms a snap fastener 12.
[0037] Specifically, the multiple sets of through holes can be two sets of through holes, with two sets of base strips 10 located at opposite ends of the base strip 10, used to fix the horizontal scale ruler 20. The assembly process of the horizontal scale ruler 20 and the base strip 10 is as follows: one end of the horizontal scale ruler 20 passes through an opening from the front to the back of the base strip 10, and then passes through another opening in the same set from the back to the front of the base strip 10, so that the horizontal scale ruler 20 is restricted by the buckle 12 formed by the base strip 10 between the two through holes. Since the horizontal scale ruler 20 itself is a thin strip, this method can make the horizontal scale ruler 20 more securely installed and less prone to rotation and folding in the buckle 12 of the base strip 10. In another embodiment, the opening can be replaced with a slit, which makes the effect of restricting the horizontal scale ruler 20 from rotation and folding even better.
[0038] Specifically, the baseband 10 can be made of polyurethane, which is softer and more skin-friendly.
[0039] Specifically, the positioning hole 11 is located in the middle of the base band 10. When using it, the positioning hole 11 can be aligned with the navel, and the measurement can be taken around the navel. This ensures that the position of the abdominal circumference is basically the same each time, making it repeatable and the recorded abdominal circumference results more accurate. At the same time, doctors can more accurately judge whether abdominal distension has occurred based on the recorded abdominal circumference data, which is also more instructive.
[0040] The two ends of the horizontal scale ruler 20 of this utility model's abdominal circumference measuring device are secured to the front of the base band 10 by buckles 12, which prevents the horizontal scale ruler 20 from folding during use. In use, the back of the base band 10 is close to the skin, and the positioning hole 11 is aligned with the navel. The front of the base band 10 allows the horizontal scale ruler 20 to be wrapped around the navel for measurement and reading, ensuring that the abdominal circumference position remains essentially the same for each measurement, providing repeatability and more accurate results. Since patients after abdominal surgery often lie supine, after locating the navel as the measurement position through the positioning hole 11, one end of the horizontal scale ruler 20 can be passed through the patient's back, allowing for horizontal pulling of the ruler 20, making measurement more convenient and less prone to folding. Furthermore, the horizontal scale ruler 20 can move parallel to the base band 10, allowing for the replacement of a suitable horizontal scale ruler 20 when measuring patients with larger abdominal circumferences.
[0041] When the patient's abdomen is wrapped with gauze and the navel is covered, the midpoint between the lowest edge of the rib and the upper edge of the iliac bone, i.e. the narrowest part of the waist, can be measured using the first longitudinal scale ruler 30 and the second longitudinal scale ruler 40.
[0042] Specifically, the length of the base band 10 is less than or equal to the length of the horizontal scale ruler 20, and the width of the base band 10 is greater than the width of the horizontal scale ruler 20. The longer the base band 10 is, the less likely the horizontal scale ruler 20 will fold during measurement due to the restraint of the buckles 12 at both ends of the base band 10.
[0043] Specifically, the length of the baseband 10 is 90cm-120cm. In this embodiment, the length of the baseband 10 is preferably 100cm, and the length of the horizontal scale ruler 20 is preferably 120cm.
[0044] Specifically, the first longitudinal scale ruler 30 and the second longitudinal scale ruler 40 have the same length, and the lengths of the first longitudinal scale ruler 30 and the second longitudinal scale ruler 40 are 15cm-20cm. In this embodiment, 20cm is preferred.
[0045] When the navel is covered, the midpoint between the lowest edge of the 10th rib and the upper iliac bone is determined by the first longitudinal scale ruler 30 and the second longitudinal scale ruler 40 to help determine the narrowest point of the waist and ensure the accuracy of the abdominal circumference measurement.
[0046] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, specifically, the other side of the baseband 10 is provided with an abdominal distension digital rating scale 50. Since assessing abdominal distension in patients after abdominal surgery requires combining the patient's self-assessment of pain, the abdominal circumference measuring device of this embodiment combines abdominal circumference measurement with the patient's self-assessment of pain, constantly reminding doctors to have patients perform a pain self-assessment after measurement. Preferably, the abdominal distension digital rating scale 50 is integrally formed with the baseband 10; specifically, the abdominal distension digital rating scale 50 can be printed on the back of the baseband 10 during production for easy sterilization and hygiene.
[0047] In other embodiments, the baseband 10 and the abdominal distension digital rating scale 50 can be separate structures. The baseband 10 is provided with a mounting position, and the abdominal distension digital rating scale 50 is mounted on the mounting position. The abdominal distension digital rating scale 50 can be replaced as needed.
[0048] The above specific embodiments further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In particular, it should be noted that any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model for those skilled in the art.
