Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a spinal health and sleep-inducing pillow. Background Technology
[0002] Postoperative care after cervical spine surgery is a crucial part of the patient's recovery process, and the use of a pillow has a direct impact on cervical spine recovery. A suitable pillow can effectively support the cervical spine, maintain its physiological curvature, reduce postoperative pain, prevent postoperative complications, and promote wound healing.
[0003] Currently, patients often use ordinary pillows after surgery. These pillows are usually filled with a single material, such as buckwheat hulls, memory foam, latex, or sponge, and their overall shape is relatively flat or slightly curved. Although they can provide some support, their targeted support for the cervical spine is limited during the postoperative recovery phase. Even some cervical spine-specific pillows, which are ergonomically designed, cannot adapt to the pressure on the wound and the dressing covering it after surgery, causing pain when lying flat. Furthermore, they cannot automatically change shape with changes in body position. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a spinal health and sleep-inducing pillow to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned technology.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0030] like Figures 1-3As shown, this utility model discloses a spine-strengthening and sleep-inducing pillow, which includes a pillow body;
[0031] The pillow body includes an upper pillow surface 1 and a lower pillow surface 2, with a side pillow surface 3 provided on the side. The top of the side pillow surface 3 is fixedly connected to the upper pillow surface 1, and the bottom of the side pillow surface 3 is fixedly connected to the lower pillow surface 2. A partition layer 4 is provided between the upper pillow surface and the lower pillow surface 2. There are two partition layers 4, which divide the interior of the pillow body into three chambers, from left to right: the first chamber 5, the second chamber 6, and the third chamber 7.
[0032] The second chamber 6 has a circular recess 8 in the middle. The recess 8 is a circular structure in which the upper pillow surface 1 and the lower pillow surface 2 are attached and fixedly connected, so that the second chamber 6 has a ring-shaped structure.
[0033] The first chamber 5 and the third chamber 7 are provided with a breathable fixing structure, and the second chamber 6 is provided with a flexible support structure.
[0034] The pillow body is made of the same fabric as regular pillows. The length of the pillow body is 60-65cm, the width is 28-30cm, and the height is 8-10cm. The internal partition layer 4 can be divided into three chambers by sewing two pieces of fabric inside the pillow body. The upper edge of the partition layer 4 is sewn to the upper pillow surface 1, the lower edge of the partition layer 4 is sewn to the lower pillow surface 2, and the two sides of the partition layer 4 are sewn to the side pillow surfaces 3. The middle chamber is the second chamber 6, and the two sides are the first chamber 5 and the third chamber 7, respectively. The length of the second chamber 6 is 20-22cm, and the lengths of the first chamber 5 and the second chamber 6 are equal.
[0035] The middle second chamber 6 is filled with a flexible support structure, while the first chamber 5 and the third chamber 7 on both sides are filled with a rigid and breathable fixing structure.
[0036] In the middle of the second chamber 6, the upper pillow surface 1 and the lower pillow surface 2 are sewn together to form a recessed part 8. The recessed part 8 has a circular structure and a diameter of 5cm. The upper pillow surface 1 and the lower pillow surface 2 are in direct contact at the recessed part 8, with no filling material in between. A groove is formed in the middle of the second chamber 6, and the recessed part 8 has a circular structure.
[0037] In a further embodiment, the side pillow surface 3 has a completely annular structure, with the top of the side pillow surface 3 sewn and fixed to the upper pillow surface 1, and the bottom of the side pillow surface 3 sewn and fixed to the lower pillow surface 2.
[0038] The side pillow surface 3 is set as a complete ring structure and is sewn and fixed to the upper pillow surface 1 and the lower pillow surface 2. The side pillow surface 3 is made of the same fabric structure as the upper pillow surface 1 and the lower pillow surface 2. Alternatively, the side pillow surface 3 can be set as four pieces of fabric, with one side pillow surface 3 sewn on each side.
[0039] In a further embodiment, a zipper assembly 9 is provided on the side pillow surface 3, the zipper assembly 9 covering at least the first chamber 5, the second chamber 6 and the third chamber 7, so that all three chambers can be opened.
[0040] By setting a zipper assembly 9 on the side pillow surface 3, the zipper can open the side pillow surface 3 to expose the first chamber 5, the second chamber 6 and the third chamber 7. This allows the corresponding chambers to be opened and the internal filling material to be filled or reduced according to the body shape of different patients and the support needs of different surgical sites, thereby adjusting the support structure of the pillow.
[0041] The zipper assembly 9 has its teeth set as a single, continuous structure.
[0042] The zipper assembly 9 has a three-section structure, with one tooth on the side surface 3 of the first chamber 5, one tooth on the side surface 3 of the second chamber 6, and one tooth on the side surface 3 of the third chamber 7.
[0043] The aforementioned zipper component 9 can be set as a single unit or as three independent zippers. Independent settings allow for convenient and targeted addition without having to open all zippers, making it easy to use and preventing the internal filling from falling out.
[0044] The breathable fixing structure in the first chamber 5 and the third chamber 7 is buckwheat hulls filled in the first chamber 5 and the second chamber 6;
[0045] The flexible support structure inside the second chamber 6 is a fluffy cotton filling the second chamber 6.
[0046] The fixing structures in the first chamber 5 and the third chamber 7 mentioned above are made of buckwheat hulls. Buckwheat hulls can provide good head support when the patient is lying on their side, which is ergonomic and breathable. The fluffy cotton filling in the second chamber 6 can reduce the pain and discomfort caused by pressure on the wound of patients undergoing posterior cervical spine surgery, thus improving patient comfort.
[0047] The pillow body has a length of 60-65cm, a width of 28-30cm, and a height of 8-10cm;
[0048] The length of the second chamber 6 is 20-22cm, the length of the first chamber 5 is equal to that of the second chamber 6, and the diameter of the recessed part 8 is 5cm.
[0049] The spine-strengthening and sleep-inducing pillow of this application features a central second chamber 6 with a recessed area 8 surrounded by fluffy cotton, approximately 2cm thick when pressed, forming a central depression. This provides support for cervical flexion while reducing pressure on the pillow's contact surface, preventing pressure injuries. The fluffy cotton is intended to alleviate pain and discomfort caused by pressure on the wound during posterior cervical spine surgery, increasing patient comfort. Buckwheat hulls are placed in the first two chambers 5 and the third chamber 7 on both sides to provide excellent head support in the side-lying position, conforming to ergonomic principles. Buckwheat hulls also offer good breathability. All three sections have independently concealed zippers. The zippers allow for adjustments to the amount of fluffy cotton and buckwheat hulls based on the patient's head size (adjusting the amount of fluffy cotton on both sides to prevent head rotation), cervical flexion (adjusting the amount of fluffy cotton in the neck area), and shoulder width on one side, adapting to individual needs. In the side-lying position, patients can be directly turned to one side without nurses needing to first support the patient's head to maintain a neutral cervical spine position and adjust the pillow height accordingly. This reduces nurses' workload and improves efficiency.
[0050] Its unique ergonomic design precisely conforms to the physiological curvature after cervical spine surgery, providing stable and even support for the neck, effectively reducing pressure between vertebrae, promoting blood circulation in damaged tissues, and aiding in faster healing of the cervical spine. This promotes early recovery.
[0051] Meanwhile, the spinal health and sleep pillow of this application can also be used for the daily health care of healthy people.
[0052] Improve sleep quality and increase comfort: Whether lying flat or on your side, it keeps the cervical spine in a neutral position, relaxes neck muscles, reduces the number of times you turn over, greatly improves the comfort of daily rest and sleep, and relieves daytime fatigue. It also helps prevent or aggravate cervical spondylosis.
[0053] The above specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.
[0054] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way (as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features). For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described; these embodiments not explicitly written should also be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
