[0016] 2. This pressure ulcer prevention and turning aid significantly enhances its pressure ulcer prevention effect through the use of elastic bands and elastic steel plates. The linearly arrayed elastic bands are made of spandex, offering excellent elasticity. When the user inserts their hands, they receive evenly distributed tension to assist in turning, while the tension is adaptively adjusted to avoid excessive arm restraint. During turning, the elastic bands, in conjunction with the elastic steel plates, reduce pressure on the chest from the arms. The elastic steel plates increase the flatness of the brace, providing support for the hands and making turning easier. After turning, the elastic steel plates help the brace maintain its shape, evenly distributing body pressure, while the sponge pad cushions the pressure between the body and the brace, reducing skin friction and effectively lowering the risk of pressure ulcer formation. Furthermore, the Velcro design allows for quick disassembly and reassembly of the brace, facilitating deep cleaning, maintaining hygiene, and continuously enhancing its pressure ulcer prevention effect.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a pressure ulcer prevention and turning aid belt, including a main support belt 2 and a sponge pad 4. Sponge pads 4 are provided on both sides of the upper end of the main support belt 2. The outer wall of the sponge pad 4 is fixedly connected to one end of an elastic band 5, and the other end of the elastic band 5 is fixedly connected to the upper outer wall of the main support belt 2. The elastic bands 5 are arranged in a linear array in the middle section of the sponge pad 4. During use, the user inserts their hand into the elastic band 5 on the side opposite to the turning direction. The linearly arranged elastic bands 5 provide a distributed and uniform pulling force, assisting the user in completing the turning action. Simultaneously, the sponge pad 4 effectively cushions the pressure between the user's arm and the main support belt 2, reducing skin friction and lowering the risk of pressure ulcer formation. The elastic band 5 is made of spandex material, which has excellent elasticity and can adaptively adjust the pulling force during turning, avoiding excessive restraint on the user's arm and ensuring user comfort and safety.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4In this embodiment, both ends of the sponge pad 4 are provided with first Velcro 9. The first Velcro 9 is located on the lower outer wall of the sponge pad 4. When in use, since the sponge pad 4 is fixedly connected to the main protective belt 2, the first Velcro 9 at both ends of the sponge pad 4 is tightly attached to the first mating sticker 10 above the upper protective belt 1 and the lower protective belt 3, forming a first connection structure.

[0028] The main protective belt 2 has an upper protective belt 1 on one side and a lower protective belt 3 on the other side.

[0029] Both the upper protective belt 1 and the lower protective belt 3 are provided with a first mating sticker 10. The two first mating stickers 10 are respectively located above the upper protective belt and the lower protective belt 3. When in use, the first mating sticker 10 and the first Velcro 9 at both ends of the sponge pad 4 on the main protective belt 2 cooperate with each other. When assisting the user to turn over, the two tightly fit together to form a fixed structure, which can ensure that the upper protective belt 1, the lower protective belt 3 and the main protective belt 2 work together to avoid disengagement or displacement, and provide the user with stable and reliable turning assistance.

[0030] Both the upper protective belt 1 and the lower protective belt 3 are equipped with second hook and loop fasteners 11. The two second hook and loop fasteners 11 are respectively located below the upper protective belt 1 and the lower protective belt 3. In use, the second hook and loop fasteners 11 are attached to the second mating fasteners 12 on both sides of the main protective belt 2 to form the second connection structure of the auxiliary belt. Together with the first mating fasteners 10 and the first hook and loop fasteners 9, they further enhance the connection stability between the upper protective belt 1, the lower protective belt 3 and the main protective belt 2, so that the auxiliary belt can withstand the pulling force and friction generated when the user turns over after installation. Even if the user turns over frequently or moves with a large range of motion, the auxiliary belt can maintain the integrity of the overall structure.

[0031] The main protective belt 2 has a second mating sticker 12 on both sides. The second mating sticker 12 is located below the main protective belt 2. When in use, the two pairs of Velcro ties are disassembled at the same time to separate the upper protective belt 1, the lower protective belt 3 and the main protective belt 2 so as to clean each part thoroughly.

[0032] The main protective belt 2, upper protective belt 1, and lower protective belt 3 are each equipped with multiple elastic steel plates 8 arranged in a linear array. During use, the multiple elastic steel plates 8 arranged in a linear array within the protective belts increase the belts' ability to maintain a flat position. During the user's turning over, the elastic support of the elastic steel plates 8 can reduce the pressure of the arms on the chest and provide some support for the user's hands, making the user's turning over movements easier and smoother. At the same time, when maintaining a specific posture after turning over, the elastic steel plates 8 can help the protective belt maintain its shape, distribute body pressure, reduce the risk of pressure sores caused by improper posture, and provide the user with long-lasting and stable protection.

[0033] The main protective belt 2, upper protective belt 1, and lower protective belt 3 are all equipped with adjustable belts 6 on both sides. The adjustable belts 6 are equipped with D-ring buckles 7. After turning over, if nursing care is required, the nursing staff can wrap the adjustable belts 6 around the bedside rails and adjust the turning stroke and tightness of the protective belts through the D-ring buckles 7 to adapt to different user body shapes and nursing needs. The flexible adjustment function of the D-ring buckles 7 can not only ensure that the auxiliary belts are firmly fixed to the bedside rails during the nursing process to prevent the user from accidentally slipping, but also adjust the position of the protective belts at any time according to the actual situation, which is convenient for nursing operations, while ensuring the safety and comfort of the user during the nursing process.

[0034] Instructions for use: When using this device, the upper protective strap 1 and the lower protective strap 3 are connected to the main protective strap 2 via the first mating adhesive 10 and the second Velcro 11, respectively, which in turn connect to the first Velcro 9 and the second mating adhesive 12. This allows for quick disassembly of the straps during cleaning, improving cleaning efficiency and cleanliness. The double Velcro closure also enhances the overall stability of the straps after installation, ensuring sufficient support when the user turns over. Inserting the user's hand into the elastic band 5 on the opposite side of the turning direction allows the elastic steel plate 8 inside the strap to increase its ability to maintain a flat position. This reduces pressure on the chest from the arm during turning, providing support for the user's hand and minimizing pressure sores that may result from maintaining the posture during and after turning over. If further care is needed after turning over, the adjustment strap 6 can be wrapped around the bed rail, and the turning stroke of the strap can be adjusted using the D-ring 7.
