Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a positioning pad for breast surgery. Background Technology

[0002] During breast surgery, a proper and stable patient position plays a crucial role in the smooth progress of the procedure and the patient's postoperative recovery. Precise positioning not only ensures full exposure of the surgical area for clear surgical visualization and improved accuracy, but also considers the patient's physiological functions, guaranteeing normal respiratory and circulatory function while preventing complications such as limb, joint, and nerve damage caused by prolonged pressure.

[0003] Currently, breast surgery typically requires successful anesthesia followed by padding the surgical side to expose the armpit. During breast surgery, the patient is usually placed in a supine position, and a positioning pad can be used to elevate the patient's shoulders, allowing the breast to fully extend. The arm also needs to be raised to fully open the axillary space and fully expose the surgical field. This allows the surgeon to perform accurate surgical procedures, such as removing diseased tissue and clearing lymph nodes, reducing blind spots and improving surgical precision.

[0004] However, because the shoulder is elevated by the positioning pad, the arm is suspended in the air. In this situation, additional support pads must be placed on the armrest of the operating table to support and elevate the arm. However, the elevation angle of these support pads is limited, making it impossible to adjust the arm elevation angle according to the surgical situation. This may lead to insufficient exposure of the surgical field, affecting the surgeon's operation, thus prolonging the operation time and increasing the patient's surgical risk. Furthermore, the positioning pad for elevating the shoulder and the support pad for elevating the arm are often separate units. Using multiple independent pads increases the operational difficulty for medical staff, requiring extra time and effort to adjust their positions before surgery, which is detrimental to the efficient conduct of the operation. Therefore, we propose a new positioning pad for breast surgery. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a positioning pad for breast surgery, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a positioning pad for breast surgery, comprising:

[0007] The back pad has an arc-shaped pad on its side wall and a groove on one side. The back pad, together with the arc-shaped pad, is used to elevate the patient's shoulders.

[0008] A fixing post, which is fixedly connected between the top and bottom ends inside the groove;

[0009] A connecting rod, which extends into the groove and is rotatably connected to the fixed column;

[0010] A support assembly, which is fixedly connected to a connecting rod, is used to support the patient's arm;

[0011] A lifting component, which is mounted on a support component, is used to adjust the height of the patient's arm;

[0012] The lifting component includes an airbag, with a soft pad fixedly connected to the top of the airbag. An inflation tube and a deflation tube are fixedly connected to the airbag, and two sliding rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the soft pad.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution, the back pad and the arc-shaped pad are integrally molded from silicone, and the arc-shaped pad is distributed obliquely downward from the connection point with the back pad in the direction away from the back pad.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution, the support component includes a support pad, a placement groove is provided at the top of the side of the support pad away from the back pad, two binding straps are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the support pad, hook-and-loop fasteners and loop fasteners are respectively fixedly connected to the binding straps on both sides, and two sliding holes are symmetrically opened at the top of the support pad.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution, the support pad is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, the airbag is fixedly installed inside the placement groove, the hook-and-loop fastener is adapted to the loop fastener, and the two sliding rods are respectively adapted to the two sliding holes and are slidably connected.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution, the top surface of the support pad is an inclined surface, and the end away from the back pad is the higher end, and the end of the support pad near the back pad is rounded.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution, the inflation tube can be connected to an external inflation balloon to inflate the balloon.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. Optimized arm support and angle adjustment: Through the rotating connection between the fixed column and the connecting rod, the support pad can rotate horizontally, allowing for flexible adjustment of the arm's angle in the horizontal direction; at the same time, the airbag in the lifting component can be inflated through an external inflatable airbag connected to the inflation tube, adjusting the arm height according to surgical needs. This solves the problems of limited lifting angle and inability to fully expose the surgical field of view caused by traditional support pads, improving surgical precision, shortening surgical time, and reducing surgical risks for patients.

[0020] 2. Simplified medical procedures: The back pad, curved pad, support components, and lifting components are integrated into one unit. Compared with the traditional multiple separate pads, this reduces the time and effort required for medical staff to adjust the position of the pads before surgery, which is conducive to efficient surgery.

[0021] 3. Stable structure and convenient fixation: The binding straps on both sides of the support component can firmly fix the support pad to the hand rest of the operating table through hook and loop fasteners, ensuring the stability of the positioning pad during the operation and preventing it from shifting.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a positioning pad for breast surgery, comprising:

[0031] Back pad 1, with an arc-shaped pad 2 on the side wall of back pad 1. Back pad 1 and arc-shaped pad 2 are made of silicone in one piece. The arc-shaped pad 2 is distributed at an angle downward from the connection point with back pad 1 away from back pad 1. Back pad 1 and arc-shaped pad 2 are combined. Taking advantage of the structural characteristics of silicone in one piece, the arc-shaped pad 2 is distributed at an angle downward from the connection point with back pad 1 away from back pad 1, which conforms to the physiological curve of the human shoulder, raises the patient's shoulder, and allows the breast to be fully stretched, meeting the needs of breast surgery for exposure of the surgical area. A groove 3 is opened on the side of back pad 1 away from arc-shaped pad 2.

[0032] Fixed column 4 is fixedly connected between the top and bottom ends inside the groove 3;

[0033] Connecting rod 5 extends into groove 3 and is rotatably connected to fixed post 4;

[0034] Support component 6 is fixedly connected to connecting rod 5 and is used to support the patient's arm. Support component 6 includes support pad 61, which is fixedly connected to connecting rod 5. The top surface of support pad 61 is inclined, and the end away from back pad 1 is the higher end. The end of support pad 61 near back pad 1 is rounded. A placement groove 62 is opened at the top of the side of support pad 61 away from back pad 1. Two binding straps 63 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of support pad 61. Hook and loop fasteners 64 and hook and loop fasteners 65 are fixedly connected to the binding straps 63 on both sides, respectively. The hook and loop fasteners 64 and hook and loop fasteners 65 are adapted to fit together to bind the two sides of support pad 61. The fixing strap 63 is wrapped around the bottom of the hand rest on the operating table. Then, the hook-and-loop fastener 64 and the loop fastener 65 can be used to bind the support pad 61 to the hand rest on the operating table. With the rotational cooperation of the fixing post 4 and the connecting rod 5, the support pad 61 can be rotated, thereby changing the angle adjustment of the upper arm in the horizontal direction. It should be noted that since the support pad 61 is bound to the hand rest, when it is necessary to rotate the support pad 61, it needs to contact the limit of the hand rest on the operating table. Thus, the support pad 61 can be rotated by rotating the hand rest. The operating table is existing technology and will not be described here. Two sliding holes 66 are symmetrically opened at the top of the support pad 61.

[0035] The lifting component 7 is mounted on the support component 6 and is used to adjust the height of the patient's arm. The lifting component 7 includes an airbag 71, which is fixedly installed inside the placement slot 62. A soft pad 72 is fixedly connected to the top of the airbag 71. An inflation tube 73 and a deflation tube 74 are fixedly connected to the airbag 71. The inflation tube 73 can be connected to an externally inflatable airbag to inflate the airbag 71. A one-way valve is fixedly installed inside the inflation tube 73 to prevent gas backflow. A cap is threaded onto the deflation tube 74. Unscrewing the deflation tube 74 can release the gas from the airbag 71. Two sliding rods 75 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the soft pad 72. The two sliding rods 75 are respectively adapted to two sliding holes 66 and are slidably connected. By inflating and deflating the airbag 71, the height of the arm can be adjusted. The sliding rods 75 and the sliding holes 66 cooperate to ensure the stability of the airbag 71 during the raising and lowering process, while the soft pad 72 provides comfortable support.

[0036] It should be noted that this utility model is a positioning pad for breast surgery. In use, first, place the back pad 1 in a suitable position on the operating table, positioning the curved pad 2 below the patient's shoulders to provide support and allow the breasts to fully extend. Next, wrap the binding straps 63 on both sides of the support pad 61 around to the underside of the hand rest on the operating table. Secure the support pad 61 to the hand rest using hook-and-loop fasteners 64 and loop fasteners 65. Then, according to the surgical requirements, with the cooperation of the connecting rod 5 and the fixing post 4, rotate the hand rest, causing the support pad 61 to rotate. The patient moves and adjusts the angle of the arm in the horizontal direction to achieve a suitable position. To raise the arm, connect the inflatable balloon 71 to the inflation tube 73 and inflate the balloon 71. The inflation of the balloon 71 causes the soft pad 72 to rise, thus raising the arm. To lower the arm, unscrew the cap on the venting tube 74 to release the gas from the balloon 71, causing the arm to lower. After the surgery, unscrew the cap on the venting tube 74 to release the gas from the balloon 71, untie the binding strap 63, and remove the positioning pad from the operating table. After cleaning and disinfection, store it properly for future use. Compared with existing positioning pads for breast surgery, this invention solves the problems of limited arm support angle and inconvenient operation associated with traditional positioning pads. It fully exposes the surgical field, improves surgical accuracy, simplifies medical procedures, and enhances patient comfort.
