Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pillow technology, and more specifically, to a multifunctional repositioning protective pillow. Background Technology
[0002] Breast cancer is a common malignant tumor in women. Advanced breast cancer patients often experience multiple metastases throughout the body, frequently presenting with weight loss, fatigue, shortness of breath, general pain, difficulty getting up and lying down, and weakness when sitting up. Currently, common methods to assist patients with getting up and lying down include:
[0003] 1. Manually or electrically raise the headboard to sit up and lower it to lie down, but this method often makes patients feel dizzy, have body pain, shortness of breath and worsen their discomfort;
[0004] 2. When a person lifts or supports a patient, the patient often experiences pain and discomfort. Due to factors such as weight loss, limb swelling, and pain, directly lifting or supporting a patient can cause local friction, such as in the neck, shoulders, armpits, or hips, increasing the patient's pain and even causing skin damage. Furthermore, this method requires significant physical exertion from the caregiver. Utility Model Content

[0019] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] Example
[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a multifunctional repositioning protective pillow, including a soft pillow 1 and a strap 2 disposed on the soft pillow 1. Two grips 3 are disposed opposite each other on both sides of the soft pillow 1. The strap 2 passes through the bottom of the soft pillow 1, and the two grips 3 are located on opposite sides of the strap 2. A pillowcase 4 is fitted over the soft pillow 1, with the two grips 3 located on opposite sides of the pillowcase 4, and the strap 2 located at the bottom of the pillowcase 4.
[0022] The two grips 3 in this embodiment make it easy for caregivers to hold and move the protective pillow. The straps 2 in this embodiment make it easy to tie the soft pillow 1 to the patient, improving the stability of the soft pillow 1 and preventing it from falling off.
[0023] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the pillowcase 4 has a connecting strap 5 at the bottom, with two grips 3 located at both ends of the connecting strap 5. The grips 3 are cylindrical. This invention utilizes the connecting strap 5, made of cotton cloth, to form the two grips 3 by wrapping and securing the cotton cloth around both ends. By fixing the pillowcase 4 to the bottom of the connecting strap 5, and with the two grips 3 located at both ends, when a caregiver holds the grips 3 to move the pillow, the force can be transmitted to the soft pillow 1 through the connecting strap 5. This results in a larger and more even force distribution area on the soft pillow 1, making it easier to support the patient.
[0024] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in some embodiments, both ends of the strap 2 are provided with Velcro 6. One end is the male side of the Velcro, and the other end is the female side of the Velcro, so that the strap 2 can be fixed to the patient by sticking the Velcro 6 at both ends together.
[0025] In actual use, when the patient is in bed, the caregiver faces the patient and gently supports the patient's head, neck, and shoulders with their left hand, placing the soft pillow 1 according to... Figure 1 As shown, place the pillow horizontally and move it downwards so that the patient's head, neck, and shoulders are all lying on the soft pillow 1. The nurse holds the handles 3 at both ends of the soft pillow 1 with both hands and gently lifts the soft pillow 1 upwards. This will slowly lift the patient's upper body to sit up. Compared with the conventional method of getting up, this method is more comfortable and painless for the patient.
[0026] After the patient is seated, a soft pillow can be placed according to... Figure 2 The pillow 1 is placed vertically on the patient's back. The straps 2, with Velcro 6 attached, are crossed from the patient's back to the chest. The pillow 1 is then secured to the patient's back, and the Velcro 6 are fastened together at the patient's chest and abdomen. This way, when the patient sits up and goes out for examinations, the soft pillow 1 provides protection and support for their back, making them feel comfortable.
[0027] When the patient changes from a sitting to a lying position, loosen the Velcro 6 on the chest and abdomen, and place the soft pillow 1 horizontally under the patient's head, neck and shoulders so that the soft pillow 1 supports the patient's head, neck and shoulders. The caregiver faces the patient, holds the handles 3 on both sides of the soft pillow 1 with both hands, and slowly lowers the patient down to the bed. Compared with the conventional method of manual support, this method makes the patient feel more comfortable and safe, and does not increase pain.
[0028] Thus, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:
[0029] 1. The patient feels comfortable and experiences no increased pain. Current techniques involve caregivers manually raising the head of the bed at the foot of the bed or assisting the patient to sit up in a lifting position, both of which cause discomfort. Using a protective pillow to support the patient's head, neck, and shoulders helps the upper body sit up. This method, with the soft pillow supporting the head, neck, and shoulders, distributes pressure and reduces the burden on the cervical spine. Late-stage cancer patients often have difficulty controlling their position due to weakness; the gradual adjustment with the soft pillow can prevent sudden twisting or stretching of the neck. Gradually supporting the patient with the soft pillow prolongs the adaptation time, allowing the cardiovascular system to gradually compensate and reducing dizziness and discomfort caused by sudden drops in blood pressure. It also prevents some patients with brain metastases from experiencing exacerbated headaches due to sudden changes in intracranial pressure caused by changes in position.
[0030] 2. It can be used in multiple ways: as a pillow when lying down, for support when getting up, and for back support when sitting. Similarly, when lying down, it allows the body to gradually adapt and the nervous system to adjust, avoiding discomfort caused by sudden changes in position.
[0031] 3. It helps protect the skin and joints. Compared with being held by the hands, the soft pillow can reduce friction and shear force, and the slow adjustment can avoid pain and discomfort caused by sudden force on the joints.
[0032] 4. Low cost, simple to make, easy to carry, highly practical and safe, greatly reducing the difficulty of nursing care and the physical exertion of nursing staff.
[0033] Furthermore, unless otherwise explicitly specified or limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" in this application embodiment should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. The terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," and "side," etc., are merely for reference to the direction in the accompanying drawings or the usual placement of the product during use. They are only for clearly describing this application and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. They should not be construed as limitations on this application. The terms "first," "second," etc., are only used for distinguishing descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance; "multiple" refers to at least two. In this application embodiment, the limitations on relative positional relationships such as parallel, perpendicular, and aligned are all relative to the current technological level and are not absolutely strict limitations. Slight deviations are allowed; approximations of parallel, perpendicular, and aligned are all acceptable. For example, "A and B are parallel" means that A and B are parallel or approximately parallel, and the angle between A and B can be between 0 degrees and 10 degrees.
[0034] The above are only some embodiments and implementation methods of this application. The protection scope of this application is not limited thereto. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Any combination of features in different embodiments is also within the protection scope of this application.
