Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a fixation device for fracture patients. Background Technology

[0002] Limb joint fractures are a common type of fracture, usually caused by trauma, accidents, or violence. Initial treatment often takes place in a hospital bed, typically involving immobilizing the limb in front of and behind the joint to prevent further movement of the fractured fragments and potential more serious injury.

[0003] Therefore, fixation devices are needed for assistance. Currently, there are several fixation devices on the market, such as a fracture fixation device with Chinese Patent Publication No. CN118806505A, which includes a main board, two fixation components, and multiple adjustment components. The fixation components include a fixation frame, fixation straps, fixation rings, and a first Velcro strap. The adjustment components include a slider, a transverse screw, a limiting ring, a first clamping ring, a second clamping ring, a fixation screw, and a fixing element. The main board is the main body of the fixation device and is relatively sturdy overall…

[0004] However, as mentioned above, the fixation devices, due to the close contact between the fixing straps and the patient's skin, and the closed fixation method, are not breathable, which can easily cause pressure sores, especially in hot weather, and cause secondary damage. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a fixation device for fracture patients, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fixation device for fracture patients, comprising a semi-circular base, two semi-circular upper covers, two side positioning blocks, and a bottom positioning block. One end of each upper cover is hinged to the first and last ends of the base, and the other end of each upper cover is detachably connected to the base via a fixing assembly. Adjusting screws are pivotally connected to both the side positioning blocks and the bottom positioning block. The adjusting screws on the two side positioning blocks pass laterally through both sides of the base and are threadedly connected to them. The adjusting screw on the bottom positioning block passes vertically through the bottom of the base or the top of the upper cover and is threadedly connected to it. Annular lower airbag rings and upper airbag rings are provided on the inner sides of the base and the upper covers.

[0009] Preferably, the side positioning block and the bottom positioning block are provided with a lower airbag ring and an upper airbag ring on both the front and rear sides.

[0010] Preferably, the lower airbag ring and the upper airbag ring are connected, and their inflation nozzles are located on the side of the base.

[0011] Preferably, the inner surfaces of the lower airbag ring and the upper airbag ring are provided with dense semi-circular protrusions.

[0012] Preferably, the fixing component includes a lower connecting plate disposed on the base and an upper connecting plate disposed on the upper cover. The lower connecting plate and the upper connecting plate are provided with corresponding screw holes, and the screw holes of the two are connected by fixing bolts.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0014] This invention provides a fixation device for fracture patients. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The fixation device for this fracture patient, after the positioning block has positioned the limb, inflates the lower and upper air bladder rings to completely wrap the limb. Then, the side and bottom positioning blocks are adjusted to detach from the limb. The lower and upper air bladder rings are used to fix the limb, which can improve the breathability between the limb and the patient's skin and effectively prevent the formation of pressure sores.

[0016] 2. The fixation device for this fracture patient has semi-circular protrusions on the inner surfaces of the lower and upper air bladder rings. The gap between the semi-circular protrusions can improve the breathability of the skin at the fixation site and prevent pressure sores. Attached Figure Description

[0021] This utility model provides a fixation device for fracture patients, such as... Figure 1-3As shown, it includes a semi-circular base 1, two semi-circular upper covers 2, two side positioning blocks 6 and a bottom positioning block 7. One end of the two upper covers 2 is respectively hinged to the two ends of the base 1. The other end of the upper cover 2 is detachably connected to the base 1 through a fixing component. The fixing component includes a lower connecting plate 3 set on the base 1 and an upper connecting plate 4 set on the upper cover 2. The lower connecting plate 3 and the upper connecting plate 4 are provided with corresponding screw holes, and the screw holes of the two are connected by a fixing bolt 5.

[0022] The top cover 2 is used to initially fix the base 1 to the limb to prevent the base 1 from falling off.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, adjusting screws 8 are pivotally connected to both side positioning blocks 6 and the bottom positioning block 7. The adjusting screws 8 on the two side positioning blocks 6 pass laterally through both sides of the base 1 and are threadedly connected to them. The two positioning blocks 6 are used to position the sides of the limb. The adjusting screw 8 on the bottom positioning block 7 passes vertically through the bottom of the base 1 or the top of the top cover 2 and is threadedly connected to it. That is to say, the bottom positioning block 6 can be set on the base 1 or the top cover 2. The optimal setting is on the top cover 2, which can avoid the adjusting screw 8 acting on the bed and causing unevenness at the bottom of the base 1. The inner sides of the base 1 and the top cover 2 are provided with annular lower airbag ring 9 and upper airbag ring 10. The thickness of the lower airbag ring 9 and the upper airbag ring 10 when fully inflated is greater than the thickness of the positioning blocks.

[0024] Each top cover 2 is equipped with two sets of lower airbag rings 9 and upper airbag rings 10. Lower airbag rings 9 and upper airbag rings 10 are also provided on the front and rear sides of the side positioning block 6 and the bottom positioning block 7. The two sets of lower airbag rings 9 and upper airbag rings 10 can improve the stability during fixation.

[0025] The lower airbag ring 9 and the upper airbag ring 10 are connected, and their inflation nozzles 11 are located on the side of the base 1. The two sets of lower airbag rings 9 and upper airbag rings 10 on the same side can share one inflation nozzle 11.

[0026] The inner surfaces of the lower airbag ring 9 and the upper airbag ring 10 are provided with dense semi-circular protrusions 12. Alternatively, multiple rows of semi-circular protrusions 12 can be arranged longitudinally along the length of the base 1, with adjacent rows of semi-circular protrusions 12 staggered.

[0027] Working Principle: Step 1: Place the base 1 under the limb that needs to be secured, with the two upper covers 2 positioned at the front and rear of the joint on the limb. Then connect the upper covers 2 to the base 1. Step 2: Adjust the side positioning blocks 6 and bottom positioning blocks 7 using the adjusting screw 8 until they contact the limb. Use the two side positioning blocks 6 and bottom positioning blocks 7 to perform three-point positioning of the limb, placing it in the center position between the base 1 and the upper covers 2. Step 3: Inflate the lower airbag ring 9 and upper airbag ring 10, ensuring they completely enclose the limb. Step 4: ... Figure 3 As shown, turn the adjusting screw 8 outward to disengage the two side positioning blocks 6 and the bottom positioning block 7 from the limb, and use the lower airbag ring 9 and the upper airbag ring 10 to fix the limb.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
