Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical nursing equipment technology, specifically a knee joint ginger-stripping moxibustion pad. Background Technology

[0002] The knee joint is one of the largest and most complex joints in the human body, located between the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone), and its stability and function are maintained by the patella (kneecap) and numerous ligaments, muscles, and tendons. The skeletal components of the knee joint include the femur, tibia, and patella. The upper portion of the femur connecting to the tibia forms the femoral condyle and tibial plateau. The patella, located within the quadriceps tendon, protects and strengthens the knee joint. Articular cartilage covers the femoral condyle and tibial plateau, providing a smooth contact surface and reducing friction. The menisci are two crescent-shaped fibrocartilaginous structures (medial and lateral menisci) located between the femoral condyle and tibial plateau, providing cushioning and stability. The ligaments of the knee joint include the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and lateral collateral ligament (LCL), which respectively prevent anterior and posterior tibial displacement, excessive valgus and varus knee deformities. The quadriceps and hamstrings are the main power sources for knee joint movement; the former is responsible for extending the knee joint, and the latter is responsible for flexing the knee joint.

[0003] The knee joint plays a vital role in activities such as standing, walking, and running by supporting body weight, providing stability, allowing flexion and extension movements, and absorbing impact through cartilage, meniscus, and synovial fluid. However, the knee joint can also face a variety of problems, such as pain, stiffness, and dysfunction caused by arthritis (including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis), ligament injuries (especially anterior cruciate ligament injuries) which are particularly common in sports requiring sudden stops and turns, meniscus tears that can cause joint pain, swelling, and locking, and patellofemoral syndrome, which causes pain around the patella, often due to overuse or abnormal patellar positioning.

[0004] To maintain knee health, it's necessary to engage in appropriate exercise to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility, control weight to reduce joint stress, use correct posture and techniques to minimize joint pressure, have regular checkups and joint health assessments to detect and address problems promptly, and ensure adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D to support bone health. Knee health has a significant impact on quality of life; therefore, protecting and maintaining knee health is crucial. For existing knee problems, appropriate treatment measures should be taken based on the specific situation, including physical therapy, medication, or surgery. These methods can effectively protect and promote knee function and health.

[0005] However, many patients require ginger-separated moxibustion treatment on their knees during treatment. The uneven anatomical shape of the knee joint makes this procedure inconvenient for nursing staff beforehand. Furthermore, the procedure restricts patient movement, is lengthy, and makes it difficult to maintain treatment adherence, thus affecting the therapeutic effect. Additionally, the lack of involuntary movement during the procedure causes the ginger and moxa ash to easily fall off, potentially leading to adverse nursing events such as burns. Most importantly, existing knee joint pads on the market are not suitable for this procedure; nursing staff need to use various bath towels and treatment sheets to fold and flatten the pads, which is time-consuming, laborious, and wasteful of resources. The post-procedure cleaning is also a significant workload.

[0006] Publication number CN220309410U discloses a moxibustion paving device, comprising a soft mat, on which a pair of cylindrical installation channels and a pair of blocking members are respectively arranged opposite each other. The blocking members are detachably mounted on the mat, and the installation channels are provided with supporting members for support. The blocking members and supporting members enclose a receiving space that is open only at the top. This utility model has the advantages of preventing ash leakage during use and facilitating cleaning and storage.

[0007] The aforementioned technology utilizes an installation channel and a pair of blocking elements to help eliminate the drawback of ash leakage in the moxibustion device. However, as shown in the diagrams of the aforementioned case, the device with this structure cannot adapt to the surface of the patient's knee and cannot guarantee that the patient can remain stable during prolonged sitting moxibustion therapy.

[0008] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing shortcomings and proposed a ginger-stripped moxibustion pad for the knee joint. Utility Model Content

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ginger-stripped moxibustion pad for the knee joint to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a knee joint ginger-stripping moxibustion pad, comprising: a moxibustion pad body, with raised sections on both sides of the outer side of the moxibustion pad body and the middle of the outer side of the moxibustion pad body, the outer shape of the moxibustion pad body being "mountain" shaped, and air channels vertically opened at both ends of the inner side of the moxibustion pad body.

[0011] The top and bottom ends of both sides of the moxibustion pad are sewn with Velcro, and side buckles are fixed in the middle of both sides of the moxibustion pad. The outer surface of the side buckles has perforations.

[0012] Furthermore, the moxibustion pad itself is made of latex or inflatable material, which helps to reduce the weight of the moxibustion pad and improve its comfort.

[0013] Furthermore, the height of the air channel is equal to the height of the moxibustion pad itself, which facilitates the conduction of heat generated in the moxibustion box through the air channel.

[0014] Furthermore, the length of the Velcro is equal to one-third of the width of the moxibustion pad body, which facilitates the installation of the Velcro.

[0015] Furthermore, the side buckle is glued to the moxibustion pad body, which helps the side buckle maintain a certain usage time.

[0016] Furthermore, the side buckles are made of plastic to prevent them from being squeezed and deformed during use.

[0017] Furthermore, the perforation path is L-shaped, and the width of the top of the perforation is smaller than the width of the end of the perforation, which makes it easier for medical staff to fold various bath towels and treatment sheets into long strips and then pass the two corners of the long strips through the perforations.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. This utility model improves the comfort of patients using the moxibustion pad by designing the appearance of the moxibustion pad body into a "mountain" shape, and the concave part of the appearance of the moxibustion pad body can fit well into the outer surface of the patient's knee. The moxibustion pad body can also maintain stability for a considerable period of time during use.

[0020] 2. This utility model uses Velcro on both sides of the moxibustion pad to bond with various spare bath towels and treatment sheets, thereby limiting the range of motion of the patient's knee. At the same time, the side buckles and perforations on both sides of the moxibustion pad can replace the perforations that lose their adhesive effect. Medical staff can pass a corner of various bath towels and treatment sheets through the perforations and pull them out to tie a knot, so that both the moxibustion pad and the patient's knee can be wrapped with various bath towels and treatment sheets. This improves the stability of the moxibustion pad when in use and also helps medical staff reduce the intensity of operation. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0029] As Figures 1-6 shown, a knee ginger-separated moxibustion pad includes: a moxibustion pad body 1. The two sides of the outer shape of the moxibustion pad body 1 and the middle part outside the moxibustion pad body 1 bulge. The outer shape of the moxibustion pad body 1 is in the shape of a "mountain". Air guide channels 5 are vertically opened at both ends of the inner side of the moxibustion pad body 1.

[0030] Magic tapes 2 are sewn at the upper and lower ends of both sides of the moxibustion pad body 1, and side buckles 4 are fixedly arranged at the middle parts of both sides of the moxibustion pad body 1. Perforations 3 are opened on the outer surface of the side buckles 4.

[0031] In addition, since the outer shape of the moxibustion pad body 1 is designed in the shape of a "mountain", not only the concave part at the bottom end of the moxibustion pad body 1 can better fit the knee surface of the patient, but also the appearance of the moxibustion pad body 1 is beautiful and generous. At the same time, the "mountain"-shaped structure of the moxibustion pad body 1 can improve the stability when the moxibustion pad body 1 is used in combination with the patient's knee, and the "mountain"-shaped structure of the moxibustion pad body 1 can reduce medical risks through its own structural stability.

[0032] In addition, since the magic tape 2 can be adhesively connected with various bath towels and treatment sheets prepared by medical staff, after the patient's knee is well-fitted with the moxibustion pad body 1, the medical staff can wrap various bath towels and treatment sheets around the popliteal fossa of the patient, so that the moxibustion pad body 1 is firmly fixed above the patient's knee. At the same time, perforations 3 are opened on the surface of the side buckle 4. When the magic tape 2 fails, the medical staff can fold various bath towels and treatment sheets into a rectangular strip, and then pass both sides of the rectangular strip through the perforations 3 inside the side buckle 4, and the medical staff can tie a knot on the rectangular strip formed by various bath towels and treatment sheets. In this way, the patient's knee and the moxibustion pad body 1 will be firmly wrapped. The user can pre-design the aperture of the perforations 3 inside the side buckle 4, and the perforations 3 with a larger aperture can accommodate the rectangular strip formed by thicker various bath towels and treatment sheets to pass through.

[0033] The following effects and novel technologies are brought:

[0034] High degree of fit: The moxibustion pad body 1 is designed in a "mountain" shape, and the concave part at the bottom can better fit the surface of the patient's knee, improving comfort.

[0035] Good stability: The "mountain" - shaped structure improves the stability of the moxibustion pad body 1 when it is used in combination with the patient's knee. By the stability of its own structure, it reduces medical risks.

[0036] Combination of the magic tape 2 and the side buckle 4: The magic tape 2 is sewn on both sides of the moxibustion pad body 1, which can be adhesively connected to various bath towels and treatment sheets prepared by medical staff; at the same time, the perforations 3 on the surface of the side buckle 4 can replace the ineffective magic tape 2, and the moxibustion pad body 1 is fixed by tying a knot, enhancing the flexibility and stability of use.

[0037] Convenient operation: After the magic tape 2 fails, medical staff can fold the bath towel and treatment sheet into a rectangular strip, and fix it by tying a knot through the perforations 3, reducing the operation intensity.

[0038] Lightweight material: The production material of the moxibustion pad body 1 is latex or inflatable material, reducing the weight and improving comfort.

[0039] Good heat conductivity: The height of the air guide channel 5 is equal to the height of the moxibustion pad body 1, which is convenient for better conduction of the heat in the moxibustion box.

[0040] Optimized size: The length of the magic tape 2 is designed to be one - third of the width of the moxibustion pad body 1, which is convenient for installation and use.

[0041] Durability: The side buckle 4 and the moxibustion pad body 1 are connected by gluing. The production material of the side buckle 4 is plastic, preventing it from being squeezed and deformed during use, and extending the service life.

[0042] Design of the perforation 3: The L - shaped path design of the perforation 3 makes it easier for medical staff to pass the two corners of the bath towel and treatment sheet through the perforation 3 after folding them into a long strip.

[0043] Multiple fixing mechanisms: By combining the magic tape 2 and the side buckle 4, a flexible and stable fixing method is provided, meeting the use requirements in different situations.

[0044] Structural innovation: The "mountain" - shaped structure design is not only beautiful and generous, but also improves the stability and fit of the product, reducing medical risks.

[0045] This knee - joint ginger - separated moxibustion pad improves the stability, comfort and operation convenience of the product through innovative structural design and multifunctional fixing methods, which is beneficial to improving the treatment experience of patients and the operation efficiency of medical staff. At the same time, the material and detail design are considered, enhancing the durability and practicality of the product.

[0046] Working principle: When using this knee joint ginger-strip moxibustion pad, first place the pad body 1 on the patient's knee. Then, medical staff attach various bath towels and treatment sheets to Velcro 2, so that the patient's knee is wrapped with these towels and sheets. If the Velcro 2 loses its adhesive effect after long-term use, the medical staff can fold the towels and treatment sheets into long strips, and pass the two corners of the strip through the perforations 3 inside the side buckles 4. After the two corners of the strip are pulled out, the medical staff can tie a knot to secure the connection between the patient's knee and the moxibustion pad body 1. Finally, the medical staff places the prepared moxibustion box on top of the moxibustion pad body 1. At this time, the moxibustion box will start to generate heat and gas. This is the working principle of the knee joint ginger-strip moxibustion pad.
