Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a prone headrest. Background Technology

[0002] In medicine, the positioning of the patient's face during supine surgery has always been a key focus and challenge. This is especially true for prone surgery, where the patient lies face down. Without intervention, the spine remains in an abnormal physiological curve for an extended period, and pressure on the forehead can lead to optic nerve damage. Existing technology includes a surgical head support frame comprising a head support bracket, a foam support base, and a base. The head support bracket is a mask-like structure with facial avoidance holes at the bottom. The foam support base is housed within the mask of the head support bracket and has facial avoidance openings that communicate with the facial avoidance holes on the head support bracket. The base supports the head support bracket and can be placed on a flat operating table.

[0003] This head brace can provide good support for the patient's face and has great benefits. However, when the patient needs to wear an oxygen mask, the straps on both sides of the mask will compress the patient's cheeks, resulting in poor comfort after prolonged use and leaving pressure marks on the patient's cheeks. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a prone headrest that solves the problem that existing headrests cause poor comfort when patients need to wear oxygen masks, as the straps on both sides of the mask compress the patient's cheeks.

[0005] This application provides a prone headrest, including a headrest body. The top surface of the headrest body has a clearance hole that penetrates the bottom surface. The clearance hole is used to accommodate the mouth, nose, eyes and an oxygen mask. Grooves are provided on both sides of the clearance hole to accommodate the oxygen mask straps.

[0006] In the technical solution provided in this application, by opening grooves on both sides of the clearance hole for accommodating the oxygen mask straps, when the patient wears the oxygen mask, the straps on both sides of the oxygen mask can be embedded in the grooves, thereby avoiding the straps pressing on the patient's cheeks and improving the comfort of the patient using the headrest when wearing the oxygen mask.

[0007] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the headrest body is provided with a clearance groove for accommodating the oxygen mask air duct. One end of the clearance groove extends into the clearance hole, and the other end extends to the side of the headrest body. By providing a clearance groove on the bottom surface of the headrest body, the oxygen mask air duct can pass through easily, facilitating the arrangement of the air duct and preventing the headrest body from compressing the air duct and affecting the oxygen inhalation effect.

[0008] In some embodiments, a fixing component is installed on the side of the headrest body corresponding to the clearance groove to fix the air duct in the clearance groove and prevent the air duct from displacing and falling off.

[0009] In some embodiments, the fixing component includes a first fixing sticker that is attached to the side of the headrest body across the clearance groove. The air duct is located between the first fixing sticker and the clearance groove. The first fixing sticker, in conjunction with the clearance groove, can hold the air duct in place and prevent it from shifting.

[0010] In some embodiments, the fixing component includes a second fixing sticker and a third fixing sticker. The second fixing sticker is pasted on the side of the headrest body, bypassing the clearance groove, and the third fixing sticker is pasted on the second fixing sticker, crossing the clearance groove. The air duct is located between the third fixing sticker and the clearance groove. The third fixing sticker, in conjunction with the clearance groove, can hold the air duct in place, preventing displacement of the air duct. The cooperation of the second and third fixing stickers avoids repeatedly tearing the fixing sticker on the side of the headrest body during repeated use, thus providing a certain degree of protection for the headrest body and ensuring consistent fixing effect each time.

[0011] In some embodiments, the end of the third fixing sticker is provided with a tear-off portion to facilitate tearing the third fixing sticker off the second fixing sticker.

[0012] In some embodiments, the top surface of the second fastening adhesive is provided with a hook layer, and the bottom surface of the third fastening adhesive is provided with a fabric layer that matches the hook layer. By the interaction between the hook layer and the fabric layer of the Velcro, the second and third fastening adhesives can be reused multiple times, saving costs.

[0013] In some embodiments, the headrest body is made of polyurethane foam material, which has a certain degree of breathability and cushioning, and can reduce the pressure on the patient's face when lying prone, thereby improving the comfort of use.

[0014] In some embodiments, the top surface of the headrest body is provided with a recess for supporting the face, the recess matching the contour of the face, and the clearance hole is located on the recess; the recess can fit the patient's face well, better distribute the force on the forehead, chin and sides of the cheeks, make the force on the patient's face more even, and improve the comfort of use.

The top surface of the headrest body 1 has a clearance hole 2 that penetrates the bottom surface. The clearance hole 2 is used to accommodate the mouth, nose, eyes and an oxygen mask (the clearance hole 2 is shaped like a "T"). The clearance hole 2 has grooves 3 on both sides for accommodating the oxygen mask straps.

[0032] In the technical solution provided in this application, by opening grooves 3 on both sides of the clearance hole 2 to accommodate the oxygen mask straps, when the patient wears the oxygen mask, the straps on both sides of the oxygen mask can be embedded in the grooves 3, thereby avoiding the straps pressing on the patient's cheeks and improving the comfort of the patient using the headrest when wearing the oxygen mask.

[0033] Please continue reading. Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the headrest body 1 is provided with a relief groove 4 for accommodating the oxygen mask air duct 10. One end of the relief groove 4 extends into the relief hole 2, and the other end extends to the side of the headrest body 1. By providing a relief groove 4 on the bottom surface of the headrest body 1, the oxygen mask air duct 10 can pass through easily, facilitating the arrangement of the air duct 10 and preventing the headrest body 1 from compressing the air duct 10 and affecting the oxygen inhalation effect.

[0034] In some embodiments, a fixing component is installed on the side of the headrest body 1 at the position corresponding to the clearance groove 4, for fixing the air duct 10 in the clearance groove 4 to prevent the air duct 10 from displacing and falling off.

[0035] In one specific embodiment, the depth of the clearance groove 4 extends to the side of the headrest body 1, and the opening of the clearance groove 4 faces downward when viewed from the side of the headrest body 1.

[0036] In one specific embodiment, the clearance groove 4 can be provided in two or more, which can not only avoid the air delivery tube 10, but also avoid the liquid delivery tube (such as the infusion tube used to deliver anesthetic or analgesic).

[0037] Please continue reading. Figure 4 In some embodiments, the fixing component includes a first fixing sticker 5, which is pasted across the relief groove 4 and attached to the side of the headrest body 1. The air duct 10 is located between the first fixing sticker 5 and the relief groove 4. The first fixing sticker 5, in conjunction with the relief groove 4, can hold the air duct 10 in place and prevent the air duct 10 from shifting.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, the first fixing sticker 5 can be fan-shaped or rectangular. In this embodiment, it is designed to be fan-shaped so that the arc-shaped contour of the inner side of the first fixing sticker 5 can fit well with the outer contour of the air duct 10. The first fixing sticker 5 is pasted on the bottom of the air duct 10 to seal the opening of the relief groove 4, thereby fixing the air duct 10.

[0039] Please continue reading. Figures 5 to 7In some embodiments, the fixing component includes a second fixing sticker 6 and a third fixing sticker 7. The second fixing sticker 6 is pasted to the side of the headrest body 1, bypassing the relief groove 4. The third fixing sticker 7 is pasted to the second fixing sticker 6, crossing the relief groove 4. The air duct 10 is located between the third fixing sticker 7 and the relief groove 4. The third fixing sticker 7, in conjunction with the relief groove 4, can hold the air duct 10 in place, preventing displacement of the air duct 10. The cooperation between the second fixing sticker 6 and the third fixing sticker 7 can avoid tearing the fixing sticker on the side of the headrest body 1 multiple times during repeated use, thus providing a certain degree of protection for the headrest body 1 and ensuring consistent fixing effect each time.

[0040] In one specific embodiment, both the second fixing sticker 6 and the third fixing sticker 7 are open annular rings. The opening of the second fixing sticker 6 faces the clearance groove 4, allowing the air guide tube 10 to enter the center of the second fixing sticker 6 through the opening. The third fixing sticker 7 is concentrically arranged with the second fixing sticker 6. After the third fixing sticker 7 is pasted, its opening position is offset from the clearance groove 4 (ideally, the opening position of the third fixing sticker 7 after pasting is upward), so that the third fixing sticker 7 can seal the opening of the clearance groove 4. In specific implementation, the second fixing sticker 6 and the third fixing sticker 7 can also adopt other shapes (such as rectangles, the specific shape is not limited in this application). For example, if the second fixing sticker 6 and the third fixing sticker 7 are rectangular, the second fixing sticker 6 has a cut at the position where it crosses the clearance groove 4 to facilitate the passage of the air guide tube 10.

[0041] Please continue reading.
