Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary devices, and more specifically, to a clavicle fixation pillow. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, clavicle fractures are often fixed using figure-eight bandages or rigid braces. However, these traditional fixation methods reveal several problems when the patient is resting. During fixation, the pressure of a figure-eight bandage concentrates under the armpit, easily compressing blood vessels and nerves, affecting blood circulation and potentially causing nerve damage-related complications. Rigid braces are too stiff, restricting shoulder joint movement and making it difficult for patients to find a comfortable sleeping position, thus affecting sleep quality. Furthermore, neither of these traditional methods effectively prevents unconscious arm movements that could shift the fracture site during rest, hindering proper fracture healing. Prolonged wear of these fixation devices also causes prolonged pressure on the skin, leading to pressure sores and other skin problems, further reducing the patient's quality of life and rehabilitation experience.

[0003] How to invent a clavicle fixation pillow to improve these problems has become an urgent issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a clavicle fixation pillow, which aims to improve the existing clavicle fracture fixation devices, which are not very comfortable and have difficulty limiting the patient's arm on the affected side. This not only affects the patient's comfort during sleep but may also pull on the affected area when the patient's arm moves unconsciously during sleep, thus affecting recovery.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a clavicle fixation pillow includes a pillow body. The pillow body has connecting parts on both ends of its surface, and shoulder limiting parts are connected to the connecting parts. The shoulder limiting part includes a main limiting band and a connecting band. An elbow receiving part is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the main limiting band, and an arm limiting part is connected to the outer surface of the main limiting band.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, one end of the main limiting band and the connecting band are rotatably connected to the corresponding side connecting part.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the other ends of the main limiting belt and the connecting belt are respectively provided with a first buckle group that can cooperate with each other.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the main limiting band is provided with a length adjustment mechanism, and the length adjustment mechanism is located on the side of the elbow accommodating part away from the main body of the pillow.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the elbow receiving part is an open and flexible triangular pocket-shaped structure.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of evenly distributed ventilation holes are provided on the inner wall of the elbow receiving part.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the arm limiting part includes an elastic fixing band, a mounting shaft is fixedly connected to the middle section of the elastic fixing band, one end of the mounting shaft is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the main limiting band, and a second buckle group that can cooperate with each other is respectively provided at both ends of the elastic fixing band.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the elastic fixing band is provided with a tension sensor and a length adjustment mechanism.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The clavicle fixation pillow obtained by the above design provides comfortable support for the patient's head during use, functioning as a normal pillow.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a clavicle fixation pillow, including a pillow body 1. The pillow body 1 has connecting parts 101 on both ends of its surface, and shoulder limiting parts 2 are connected to the connecting parts 101. The shoulder limiting part 2 includes a main limiting band 201 and a connecting band 202. An elbow receiving part 3 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the main limiting band 201, and an arm limiting part 4 is connected to the outer surface of the main limiting band 201.

[0022] It should be noted that the pillow body 1 is made of a soft yet supportive material, such as high-polymer memory foam. Its surface features pressure-reducing and breathable grooves, 5mm wide and 3mm deep, evenly distributed to ensure good breathability and reduce pressure on the patient's head. An internally embedded, malleable aluminum plate layer with a thickness of 0.8-1.2mm is incorporated, allowing for fine-tuning according to the patient's head shape and support needs. Connecting parts 101 are located at both ends, using rigid plastic sheets with insertion holes for connecting to the shoulder restraint part 2. One end of the main restraint band 201 and connecting band 202 of the shoulder restraint part 2 is connected to the corresponding connecting part 101. The inner surface of the main restraint band 201 is fixed to the elbow receiving part 3 by sewing or strong adhesive. This design not only meets the patient's head support needs during rest but also effectively fixes the clavicle fracture site through the various restraint components, improving the patient's safety and comfort during rest.

[0023] Furthermore, one end of the main limiting belt 201 and the connecting belt 202 are rotatably connected to the corresponding side connecting part 101.

[0024] A rotating button-type connection structure is adopted, with a button female seat with a central shaft on the connecting part 101, and a button male seat with a corresponding insertion hole at one end of the main limiting band 201 and the connecting band 202. The male seat is inserted into the central shaft of the female seat to achieve a rotating connection. Alternatively, a rotatable pin-type structure is used, with a fixing pin on the connecting part 101, and an insertion hole with a rotating collar at one end of the main limiting band 201 and the connecting band 202. The pin passes through the collar to achieve a rotating connection, and the pin can be removed for a detachable connection when needed. This improves the ease of use and wearing comfort of the fixation pillow, allowing patients to adjust their posture more freely during rest and daily activities, reducing inconvenience caused by the restriction of the fixation device, and helping to improve patient compliance.

[0025] Furthermore, the other ends of the main limiting belt 201 and the connecting belt 202 are respectively provided with a first buckle group 203 that can cooperate with each other.

[0026] The first buckle assembly 203 can use common plastic buckles. Matching male and female buckle heads are respectively set at the other ends of the main restraining band 201 and the connecting band 202. The connection is completed by inserting the male head into the female head; the operation is simple and convenient. This easy-to-use buckle connection method allows patients or caregivers to quickly put on and adjust the fixation pillow, improving fixation efficiency while ensuring the stability of the shoulder restraint, providing favorable conditions for fracture healing.

[0027] Furthermore, the main limiting band 201 is provided with a length adjustment mechanism 204, and the length adjustment mechanism 204 is located on the side of the elbow receiving part 3 away from the pillow body 1.

[0028] A sliding adjustment buckle, similar to that on a backpack shoulder strap, is used. A sliding plastic buckle is set on the main limiting strap 201, and the length is changed by pulling the part of the main limiting strap 201 within the adjustment buckle. The length adjustment mechanism 204 is located on the side of the elbow receiving part 3 away from the pillow body 1. This ensures that the position of the elbow receiving part 3 relative to the main limiting strap 201 is not affected when adjusting the length, thus guaranteeing the stability of elbow fixation. This improves the versatility and adaptability of the fixation pillow, meeting the needs of patients of different body sizes, ensuring consistent and effective fixation, and further enhancing the patient's user experience.

[0029] Furthermore, the elbow accommodating part 3 is an open and flexible triangular pocket-shaped structure.

[0030] The elbow support 3 is made of soft medical-grade silicone or elastic fabric, and is formed into a triangular pocket structure through molding or cutting and sewing. An elastic band can be added to the opening to tighten appropriately after the elbow is inserted, preventing it from slipping out without excessively restricting the elbow. This improves patient comfort when wearing the fixation pillow, effectively limits the range of motion of the elbow, enhances the fixation effect on the shoulder and clavicle, and promotes stable recovery of the fracture site.

[0031] Furthermore, the inner wall of the elbow receiving part 3 is provided with several evenly distributed ventilation holes.

[0032] Several evenly distributed ventilation holes with a diameter of 2-3 mm are made on the inner wall of the elbow receiving part 3 to ensure that air can freely enter and exit, keeping the inside dry. This improves the microenvironment of the elbow when the patient wears the fixation pillow, reduces the probability of skin allergies, eczema and other problems, increases patient compliance, and makes patients more willing to wear the fixation pillow for a longer period of time, thus promoting fracture healing.

[0033] Furthermore, the arm limiting part 4 includes an elastic fixing band 401, with a mounting shaft 402 fixedly connected to the middle section of the elastic fixing band 401. One end of the mounting shaft 402 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the main limiting band 201, and the two ends of the elastic fixing band 401 are respectively provided with a second buckle group 403 that can cooperate with each other.

[0034] The elastic fixation band 401 uses highly elastic medical elastic webbing, with a centrally fixed mounting shaft 402. One end of the mounting shaft 402 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the main limiting band 201 via a bearing, allowing the elastic fixation band 401 to deflect relative to the main limiting band 201. Both ends of the elastic fixation band 401 are equipped with matching second buckle groups 403, which can use plastic snap buckles similar to the first buckle group 203 for easy connection and disassembly. This achieves comprehensive fixation of the patient's arm, further improving the fixation effect of the fixation pillow, reducing the potential risks to the clavicle fracture site caused by arm movement, and providing a more reliable guarantee for the patient's rehabilitation.

[0035] Furthermore, the elastic fixing band 401 is equipped with a tension sensor 404 and a length adjustment mechanism.

[0036] Tension sensor 404 is integrated into elastic retaining band 401 and connected to an external display device (such as a small display screen or a mobile app) via a wire to display tension values ​​in real time. The length adjustment mechanism can employ a sliding adjustment buckle similar to that on the main limiting band 201, facilitating length adjustment based on the monitoring data from tension sensor 404. This achieves precise control of the fixation force, improves the intelligence of the fixation pillow, avoids injury to patients caused by improper fixation force, and provides a scientific basis for medical staff in treatment and care, contributing to improved treatment outcomes.

[0037] Working principle: First, place the pillow body 1 in a suitable position. Utilizing the pressure-reducing and breathable grooves on its surface and the internally embedded malleable aluminum plate layer, it provides comfortable and supportive support for the head, ensuring comfort and stability for the patient during rest. Next, connect the shoulder limiting part 2 to the pillow body 1 via the connecting part 101. The connection method can be either a rotating button type or a rotatable pin type, ensuring flexibility and detachability for easy patient wear. Bend the patient's arm on the affected side and place the elbow in the elbow receiving part 3. Then, connect one end of the main limiting strap 201 and the connecting strap 202 via the first buckle group 203, so that the patient's elbow is located in the elbow receiving part 3 and bent in front of the chest, fixing the shoulder position and preventing displacement of the affected area due to arm extension. The elbow receiving part 3 limits the elbow angle. After the shoulder limiting part 2 and the elbow receiving part 3 limit the angle of the patient's arm, the elastic fixing band 401 is wrapped around and fixed to the patient's arm and body to achieve the purpose of binding the arm to the body and preventing the arm from displacing from the body. After the shoulder limiting part 2, the elbow receiving part 3 and the arm limiting part 4 work together to limit the arm, the arm on the affected side of the patient is bent and fixed to the body, which not only fixes the affected area, but also makes the patient relatively comfortable when sleeping.
