Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, specifically to a lower limb elevation pad. Background Technology

[0002] Lower limb injuries are prone to causing local bone or soft tissue damage, leading to the accumulation of blood and exudate in the lower limbs, resulting in symptoms such as pain, swelling, and limited mobility. Normal lower limb blood circulation is achieved through the contraction of lower limb muscles to push blood back to the heart. When lower limb movement is restricted, blood and exudate accumulate, and the return flow is slow, exacerbating lower limb swelling.

[0003] Patients with lower limb fractures often present with swelling. In such cases, it is generally necessary to apply cold compresses immediately and elevate the lower limb to promote local blood flow and reduce swelling rapidly. This also helps prevent fluid accumulation in the lower limb and reduces local swelling.

[0004] An existing ice-packing lower limb elevation pad with announcement number CN222075468U uses a guide rail on the elevation pad to allow the ice-packing mechanism to slide on the guide rail, thus achieving the effect of ice application to the lower limbs. However, since the guide rail and the elevation pad must be rigid to achieve better sliding, the rigid structure has the problems of occupying space and being inconvenient to store, resulting in poor portability. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems in the prior art and provide a lower limb elevation pad with a simple structure. It can be used and folded for storage by inflating and deflating the pad. It is convenient to place and take out ice packs in the storage bag, and the ice application process is simple and practical.

[0006] This utility model provides a lower limb elevation pad including a pad body, the upper surface of which has an inclined surface for lowering the lower limb, the pad body being a bladder, and the bladder having an inflation port and a deflation port;

[0007] This lower limb elevation pad also includes a storage bag for holding ice packs, the bottom of which is connected to one side of the slope, the opening of which faces the other side of the slope, and the opening has a tying rope.

[0008] The pad includes an upper bladder and a lower bladder, which are connected by multiple air-conducting hoses. The upper bladder has the inclined surface, and the multiple air-conducting hoses are respectively arranged at both ends near the inclined surface.

[0009] Multiple support hoses are provided in the middle of the lower surface of the upper bladder. The multiple support hoses are arranged along the length of the lower limb, and all of the multiple support hoses are connected to the upper bladder and the lower bladder.

[0010] The inflation port is located on the lower bladder body, and the deflation port is located on the upper bladder body.

[0011] Inflate the pad by opening the air inlet to allow it to expand. To use, place the lower limb on the inclined surface to support it. Then, insert an ice pack into the storage bag through the opening and tie the bag tightly with the drawstring. Finally, place the storage bag over the patient's lower limb for ice application. After use, untie the drawstring, remove the ice pack, open the air vent to release the air from the pad, and fold the pad for storage.

[0012] The inflation port includes an inflation tube and a one-way valve on the inflation tube, through which air is inflated into the lower bladder; the deflation port includes a deflation hole on the upper bladder, into which a rubber plug is inserted, and the rubber plug is removed to release air.

[0013] Multiple support hoses are located below the inclined groove to support the middle of the lower surface of the upper bladder and prevent the middle of the upper bladder from collapsing. The height of the support hoses is the same as the height of the air guide hoses.

[0014] By inflating the pad, the pressure in the upper and lower air tubes is made the same through the air delivery hoses. After the lower limb is placed in the upper air tube, the upper air tube transfers the weight of the lower limb to multiple air delivery hoses. The multiple air delivery hoses deform under the force. The deformation is mainly manifested in the height direction of the air delivery hoses. When the pad is inflated more, the height of the air delivery hoses increases to raise the lower limb. When the pad is inflated less, the height of the air delivery hoses decreases to lower the lower limb.

[0015] Preferably, there are multiple storage bags, which are evenly distributed along the inclined direction of the slope, and the opening of each storage bag is connected to the inclined surface by hook and loop fasteners.

[0016] The hook and loop fastener includes a female fastener and a female fastener. The female fastener is placed on the surface of the pad, and the female fastener is connected to the edge of the storage bag pocket. By fastening the female fastener and the female fastener together, the opening of the storage bag can be fixed. After the storage bag is wrapped around the upper surface of the lower limb, it forms an arc shape and has an inner arc surface and an outer arc surface. The edge of the female fastener is preferably connected to the inner arc surface of the storage bag.

[0017] Furthermore, multiple storage bags are distributed in one group along the left side and another group along the right side, with the two groups of storage bags facing each other and staggered. Each of the multiple storage bags in the left and right groups corresponds to a hook and loop fastener.

[0018] Preferably, the inclined surface has a groove for placing the lower limb, and there are multiple storage bags, which are divided into two groups and respectively arranged on both sides of the inclined groove. The two opposite storage bags in the two groups are used together to wrap the lower limb.

[0019] Place the lower limb in the inclined groove. When the patient's lower limb is locally swollen, use the storage bag corresponding to the swollen area on the lower limb to apply ice to the patient. At the same time, place ice packs in both opposite storage bags, then tie the openings of the two bags tightly with ropes, and then tie the two ropes together so that the opposite storage bags can simultaneously apply ice to the swollen area of ​​the lower limb.

[0020] Preferably, the storage bag has multiple perforations on the side wall of the bag opening, and the multiple perforations pass through the same tightening rope in sequence. The two ends of the tightening rope are tightened and knotted to confine the ice pack inside the storage bag.

[0021] Tie the two ends of the rope together to secure the opening of the storage bag.

[0022] Preferably, the lower surface of the lower bladder has multiple anti-slip strips.

[0023] The purpose is to prevent the lower cyst from moving arbitrarily due to movement of the body or lower limbs.

[0024] Preferably, the surfaces of both the upper and lower capsules are covered with a breathable layer.

[0025] The breathable layer is made of cotton or polyester fiber and is used to limit the maximum expansion of the upper and lower capsules.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0027] Inflate the pad by opening the air inlet to allow it to expand. To use, place the lower limb on the inclined surface to support it. Then, insert an ice pack into the storage bag through the opening and tie the bag tightly with the drawstring. Finally, place the storage bag over the patient's lower limb for ice application. After use, untie the drawstring, remove the ice pack, open the air vent to release the air from the pad, and fold the pad for storage.

[0028] This lower limb elevation pad has a simple structure. By inflating and deflating it, it can be used and folded for storage. It is convenient to place and take out ice packs in the storage bag, making the ice application process simple and practical. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The accompanying drawings in this invention are not strictly drawn to scale; the specific dimensions and quantity of each structure can be determined according to actual needs. The drawings described in this invention are merely structural schematic diagrams.

[0041] This utility model provides a lower limb elevation pad, such as... Figure 1-3As shown, it includes a pad 1, the upper surface of which has an inclined surface 2 for lowering the limb, the pad 1 being a bladder, the bladder having an inflation port 3 and an deflation port 4;

[0042] The lower limb elevation pad also includes a storage bag 5 for placing ice packs. The bottom of the storage bag 5 is connected to one side of the inclined surface 2, and the opening of the storage bag 5 faces the other side of the inclined surface 2. The opening of the bag has a tying rope 6.

[0043] Inflate the pad 1 by inflating it through the inflation port 3. When using the pad, place the lower limb on the inclined surface 2 to support it. Then, put the ice pack into the storage bag 5 through the bag opening. Tie the bag opening tightly with the tightening rope 6. Finally, place the storage bag 5 on the surface of the patient's lower limb to apply ice to the patient's lower limb. After use, untie the tightening rope 6, take out the ice pack, open the venting port 4 to release the gas in the pad 1, and fold the pad 1 for storage.

[0044] This lower limb elevation pad has a simple structure. It can be used and folded for storage by inflating and deflating. It is convenient to place and take out ice packs in the storage bag 5, making the ice application process simple and practical.

[0045] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 The number of storage bags 5 is multiple, and the multiple storage bags 5 are evenly distributed along the inclined direction of the inclined surface 2, and the opening of each storage bag 5 is connected to the inclined surface 2 by hook and loop fasteners 7.

[0046] The hook and loop fastener 7 includes a sub-fastener 7-1 and a female fastener 7-2. The sub-fastener 7-1 is disposed on the surface of the pad 1, and the female fastener 7-2 is connected to the edge of the storage bag 5 pocket. By fastening the sub-fastener 7-1 and the female fastener 7-2 together, the opening of the storage bag 5 can be secured. The storage bag 5 is curved after being wrapped around the upper surface of the lower limb, and has an inner curved surface and an outer curved surface. The edge of the female fastener 7-2 is preferably connected to the inner curved surface of the storage bag 5.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 Multiple storage bags 5 are distributed in one group along the left side and another group along the right side. The two groups of storage bags 5 are arranged opposite each other and staggered. Each of the multiple storage bags 5 in the left and right groups corresponds to a hook and loop fastener 7.

[0048] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-4 The inclined surface 2 has a groove 8 for placing the lower limbs. There are multiple storage bags 5, which are divided into two groups and respectively set on both sides of the groove 8. The two storage bags 5 in the two groups that are opposite each other are used together to wrap the lower limbs.

[0049] Place the lower limb in the inclined groove 8. When the patient's lower limb is locally swollen, use the storage bag 5 corresponding to the swollen area on the lower limb to apply ice to the patient. At the same time, place ice packs in both opposite storage bags 5, and then tie the openings of the two bags tightly with the tie rope 6. Then tie the two tie ropes 6 together so that the two opposite storage bags 5 can simultaneously apply ice to the swollen area of ​​the lower limb.

[0050] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 The storage bag 5 has multiple perforations on its side wall at the opening. These perforations pass through the same tying rope 6 in sequence. The two ends of the tying rope 6 are tightened and knotted to confine the ice pack inside the storage bag 5.

[0051] The two ends of the rope 6 are tied together to secure the opening of the storage bag 5.

[0052] In this embodiment, as Figure 6-7 The pad 1 includes an upper bladder 1-1 and a lower bladder 1-2, which are connected by a plurality of air-conducting hoses 1-3. The upper bladder 1-1 has the inclined surface 2, and the plurality of air-conducting hoses 1-3 are respectively arranged at both ends near the inclined surface 2.

[0053] By inflating the pad 1, the pressure in the upper bag 1-1 and the lower bag 1-2 is made the same through the air delivery hoses 1-3. After the lower limb is placed in the upper bag 1-1, the upper bag 1-1 transfers the weight of the lower limb to multiple air delivery hoses 1-3. The multiple air delivery hoses 1-3 deform under the force. The deformation is mainly manifested in the height direction of the air delivery hoses 1-3. When the pad 1 is inflated more, the height of the air delivery hoses 1-3 increases to raise the lower limb. When the pad 1 is inflated less, the height of the air delivery hoses 1-3 decreases to lower the lower limb.

[0054] In this embodiment, as Figure 6-7 Multiple support hoses 1-4 are provided in the middle of the lower surface of the upper bladder 1-1. The multiple support hoses 1-4 are arranged along the length of the lower limb, and all of the multiple support hoses 1-4 are connected to the upper bladder 1-1 and the lower bladder 1-2.

[0055] Multiple support hoses 1-4 are located below the inclined groove 8 to support the middle part of the lower surface of the upper bladder 1-1 and prevent the middle part of the upper bladder 1-1 from collapsing. The height of the support hoses 1-4 is the same as the height of the air guide hoses 1-3.

[0056] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 The inflation port 3 is located on the lower bladder 1-2, and the deflation port 4 is located on the upper bladder 1-1.

[0057] The inflation port 3 includes an inflation tube and a one-way valve on the inflation tube. Inflation is performed through the inflation tube port toward the interior of the lower bladder 1-2. The deflation port 4 includes a deflation hole on the upper bladder 1-1. A rubber plug is inserted into the deflation hole. The rubber plug is pulled out to release air.

[0058] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 The lower surface of the lower capsule 1-2 has multiple anti-slip strips 9.

[0059] The purpose is to prevent the movement of the body or lower limbs, which could lead to the random movement of the lower cyst 1-2.

[0060] In this embodiment, the surfaces of both the upper capsule 1-1 and the lower capsule 1-2 are covered with breathable layers.

[0061] The breathable layer is made of cotton or polyester fiber and is used to limit the maximum expansion of the upper bladder 1-1 and the lower bladder 1-2.

[0062] The method of using the lower limb elevation pad of this utility model is as follows:

[0063] First, insert the rubber plug into the vent hole and inflate the inflation port 3, causing the upper bladder 1-1 and the lower bladder 1-2 to expand.

[0064] Then, place the lower limb into the inclined groove 8. If the height of the lower limb is too low, continue to inflate the air port 3 until the height of the lower limb is appropriate. If the height of the lower limb is too high, deflate by pulling out the rubber plug until the height of the lower limb is appropriate, and then insert the rubber plug again.

[0065] Next, place the ice pack into the storage bag 5 through the bag opening, and then tie the rope 6 to tighten it;

[0066] Finally, use hook and loop fasteners to secure the bag opening and apply ice.

[0067] Inflate the pad by opening the air inlet to allow it to expand. To use, place the lower limb on the inclined surface to support it. Then, insert an ice pack into the storage bag through the opening and tie the bag tightly with the drawstring. Finally, place the storage bag over the patient's lower limb for ice application. After use, untie the drawstring, remove the ice pack, open the air vent to release the air from the pad, and fold the pad for storage.

[0068] This lower limb elevation pad has a simple structure. By inflating and deflating it, it can be used and folded for storage. It is convenient to place and take out ice packs in the storage bag, making the ice application process simple and practical.

[0069] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
