[0002] In traditional orthopedic plaster fixation treatment, the occurrence of pressure ulcer (pressure injury) is a long-standing problem that plagues clinical. As a rigid external fixation material, although plaster can effectively maintain fracture reduction, the contradiction between its physical properties and human biomechanics directly leads to the risk of pressure ulcer: the inner wall of plaster is in direct contact with the skin, and the local pressure is borne by the bone protrusion parts (such as the calcaneus, medial and lateral malleolus, sacrum), leading to tissue ischemic necrosis; when the patient's body position changes or the muscles contract, shear force is generated between the inner wall of the plaster and the skin, accelerating the occlusion of the dermis layer blood vessels. Therefore, the prior art alleviates the above problems by inserting gauze or paper towels into the opening side of the plaster, but this method is cumbersome to operate and has very poor effect.

[0003] The patent announcement No. CN209122697U sets up leg pad and ankle pad, through leg pad and ankle pad respectively pad between the knee and ankle of patient, then through micro air pump to inflate the air bag on leg pad and ankle pad to prevent pressure ulcer between double knees.

The contact layer is a porous hollow structure of medical silicone material layer. The buffer layer is a wedge-shaped memory cotton layer with a gradually increasing front edge of 3mm to a rear edge of 10mm. The support layer is a medical EVA foam layer with chamfered edges.

[0007] Preferably, the contact layer of the pad body is excavated with an arc-shaped groove penetrating both sides on the thicker side of the wedge shape. The upper surface of the contact layer corresponding to the outer end of the arc-shaped groove is provided with an upwardly extending extension.

[0008] Preferably, the contact layer of the pad body is bonded with a circular ring gasket in the middle of the thicker side of the wedge shape. The upper surface of the contact layer corresponding to the outer end of the circular ring gasket is provided with an upwardly extending extension.

[0009] Preferably, the thickness of the contact layer is 2-5mm.

[0010] Preferably, the surface of the contact layer is coated with an antibacterial coating.

[0011] Preferably, the side of the buffer layer facing the contact layer is distributed with several longitudinal flow grooves.

[0012] Preferably, the thickness of the support layer is 0.5-2mm.

[0013] Preferably, the surface of the support layer is distributed with anti-skid lines or anti-skid convex particles.

[0014] The above technical solution of the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The anti-pressure sore lifting pad of the utility model adopts a layered design: a breathable contact layer contacting the skin, a middle support layer and a bottom hard support layer. The porous design can increase the breathability and disperse the pressure at the same time; the wedge shape helps to lift the contact surface and avoid pressure sores; the edge of the support layer is smoothly processed to avoid friction. The wedge-shaped buffer layer of the lifting pad is combined with the gradually changing density memory cotton, so that the pressure in the high-pressure area of the heel, sacrum and other parts is reduced by 45%-60%; at the same time, the EVA support layer maintains the stability of the plaster structure and avoids local pressure concentration. In addition, the porous structure of the contact layer is matched with the longitudinal flow grooves, so that the ventilation efficiency is greatly improved.

[0016] The anti-pressure sore lifting pad of the utility model improves the pad groove / annular gasket and the extension part on one hand to reserve more ventilation space and on the other hand to fit an articulation part, such as being placed in the heel position, to prevent heel pressure sores and at the same time to lift the heel to prevent foot drop.
