Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, and in particular to an adjustable fit wound protection cover for orthopedic injuries. Background Technology

[0002] Orthopedic wound protectors are medical devices used to protect the wounds of orthopedic patients. The protector can create a relatively closed environment to prevent external bacteria, dust and other contaminants from entering the wound, reduce the risk of wound infection, help the wound heal normally, and cover and protect the wound site to prevent the fracture site from being impacted, rubbed or compressed by external forces, avoid further damage to the surgical site, and provide a stable environment for wound healing.

[0003] Currently, existing devices (such as announcement number: CN214318232U) disclose a trauma orthopedic wound protection cover. The cover is made of aluminum alloy plate, which is lightweight, stretchable, and highly malleable. When in use, it can be molded into different wound protection covers according to different wound locations and sizes. The aluminum alloy material is not easily deformed when exposed to infrared radiation, which can effectively protect the wound.

[0004] However, during the implementation of the above technical solution, at least the following technical problems were found: Although the protective cover can be molded into different wound protection covers according to different wound locations and sizes, it relies on Velcro for overall adhesion. Therefore, it is not a complete fit and can easily cause significant discomfort to patients after prolonged use. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an adjustable fit protective cover for orthopedic wounds, solving the technical problem of inconvenient use of existing protective covers.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] An adjustable fit orthopedic wound protector, including a pad;

[0010] The gasket has an adjustment structure symmetrically fixedly installed on its circumferential surface;

[0011] The adjustment structure includes side plates, each side plate having a through groove, each through groove having a storage slot, each storage slot having a damping bearing, and each damping bearing having a rotating rod between them. Two rotating rods have symmetrically fixed winding wires on their circumferential surfaces. Each rotating rod can be rotated to wind up the winding wires. The outer ring of each damping bearing is fixedly installed with the storage slot, and the inner ring of each damping bearing is fixedly installed with the rotating rod. Each rotating rod has a round handle fixedly installed at its end for assisting in rotating the rod, and each round handle is exposed outside the side plate.

[0012] Preferably, a flexible protective cover body is fixedly installed on the side wall of the pad sleeve. An arc-shaped groove is opened through the interior of the flexible protective cover body, and L-shaped grooves are symmetrically opened through the interior of the flexible protective cover body. A transmission wire is fixedly installed inside each L-shaped groove.

[0013] Preferably, each of the transmission wires is fixedly installed with the winding wire, and each of the transmission wires is fixedly installed with a bonding wire between each pair of wires. Both bonding wires are arched, and the rotation of the two rotating rods can be adjusted by stretching the bonding wires through the winding wire and the transmission wire.

[0014] Preferably, each of the winding wire, transmission wire, and bonding wire is made of shape memory metal, and two bonding wires are located inside the arc-shaped groove. A transmission pad is fixedly installed between each pair of bonding wires, and the transmission pad is located inside the arc-shaped groove.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] 1. By setting an adjustment structure, the operator can rotate the rotating rod through the round handle, making the rotating rod rotate counterclockwise and clockwise respectively, thereby winding the winding wire. The winding wire generates a radial force to drive the transmission wire and the bonding wire, thereby reducing the arching of the bonding wire. At the same time, the bonding wire will drive the transmission pad to move closer to the pad cover side, so that the bonding surface of the flexible protective cover body can fit and protect the patient's wound on one side. This allows the operator to adjust the fit on one side according to the wound healing progress, so as to provide better protection and isolation and reduce discomfort.

[0017] Second, by setting a damping bearing, an appropriate damping force can be provided to the rotating rod, thereby avoiding the problem of springback and reset after the rotating rod winds up the winding yarn, which would lead to changes in the fit and improve reliability. At the same time, through the rotation damping characteristics of the damping bearing, the degree of winding of the winding yarn by the rotating rod can be infinitely adjusted.

[0026] This application provides an adjustable-fit orthopedic wound protection cover, effectively solving the technical problem of inconvenience in the use of existing protective covers. By incorporating an adjustment structure, the operator can rotate a rotating rod via a round handle, rotating it counterclockwise and clockwise to wind up the winding thread. This generates a radial force on the winding thread, driving the transmission thread and the bonding thread, reducing the arching of the bonding thread. Simultaneously, the bonding thread drives the transmission pad to move closer to the padding side, allowing the flexible protective cover body to achieve unilateral fit and protection against the patient's wound. This allows the operator to adjust the unilateral fit according to the wound healing progress, providing better protection and isolation, and reducing discomfort. Furthermore, by incorporating a damping bearing, appropriate damping force is provided to the rotating rod, preventing the rod from springing back after winding up the winding thread, thus avoiding changes in fit and improving reliability. Additionally, the damping characteristic of the damping bearing allows for stepless adjustment of the degree of winding of the winding thread by the rotating rod.

[0027] Example

[0028] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the technical problem of inconvenient use of existing protective covers. The overall idea is as follows:

[0029] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides an adjustable fit wound protection cover for orthopedic injuries, including a pad 11;

[0030] The circumferential surface of the gasket 11 is symmetrically fixed with an adjustment structure;

[0031] The adjustment structure includes side plates 12, each side plate 12 has a through groove 13, each through groove 13 has a storage slot 14, each storage slot 14 has a damping bearing 15, and each damping bearing 15 has a rotating rod 16 between them. The two rotating rods 16 are symmetrically fixed with winding wire 17 on their circumferential surfaces. Each rotating rod 16 can be rotated to wind up the winding wire 17.

[0032] By setting an adjustment structure, the staff can rotate the rotating rod 16 through the round handle 18, so that the rotating rod 16 rotates counterclockwise and clockwise respectively, thereby winding the winding wire 17. The winding wire 17 generates a radial force to drive the transmission wire 23 and the bonding wire 24, thereby reducing the arching of the bonding wire 24. At the same time, driving the bonding wire 24 will drive the transmission pad 25 to move closer to the pad sleeve 11, so that the bonding surface of the flexible protective cover body 19 can be bonded to the patient's wound site on one side. This allows the staff to adjust the fit according to the wound healing progress to provide better protection and isolation.

[0033] By setting the damping bearing 15, an appropriate damping force can be provided to the rotating rod 16, thereby avoiding the problem of springback and reset after the rotating rod 16 winds up the winding wire 17, which would lead to changes in the fit and improve reliability. At the same time, through the rotation damping characteristics of the damping bearing 15, the degree of winding of the winding wire 17 by the rotating rod 16 can be steplessly adjusted.

[0034] A flexible protective cover body 19 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the pad 11. An arc-shaped groove 21 is opened through the interior of the flexible protective cover body 19. An L-shaped groove 22 is symmetrically opened through the interior of the flexible protective cover body 19. A transmission wire 23 is fixedly installed inside each L-shaped groove 22.

[0035] The flexible protective cover body 19 on the side wall of the pad 11 has an arc-shaped groove 21 and an L-shaped groove 22 inside. The transmission wire 23 is installed in the L-shaped groove 22. This part mainly serves to assist in adjusting the fit and to provide limits for the transmission wire 23 and the fitting wire 24.

[0036] Each transmission wire 23 is fixedly installed with the winding wire 17, and each pair of transmission wires 23 is fixedly installed with a bonding wire 24, and both bonding wires 24 are arched.

[0037] The rotation of the two rotating rods 16 can be used to stretch the bonding wire 24 through the winding wire 17 and the transmission wire 23, thereby adjusting the amplitude of the arched state of the bonding wire 24.

[0038] Each winding wire 17, transmission wire 23, and bonding wire 24 is made of shape memory metal. Both bonding wires 24 are located inside the arc groove 21. A transmission pad 25 is fixedly installed between each pair of bonding wires 24. The transmission pad 25 is located inside the arc groove 21.

[0039] The shape memory metal winding wire 17, transmission wire 23, and bonding wire 24 help adjust the shape of the component, while the transmission pad 25 helps ensure the stability of the flexible fit and effective protection of the wound during the adjustment process.

[0040] Working principle:

[0041] The first step is to place the pad 11 and the flexible protective cover 19 on the injured area of ​​the patient's arm when using the device. Then, the staff will rotate the pad 11 in the injured area of ​​the patient's arm to ensure that the flexible protective cover 19 is accurately positioned at the wound site, thereby achieving a close fit to the wound.

[0042] The second step involves the staff using the round handle 18 to rotate the rotating rod 16. During rotation, the rotating rod 16 rotates in both counterclockwise and clockwise directions, causing the winding wire 17 to wind up. When the winding wire 17 winds up, it generates a radial force, which drives the transmission wire 23 and the bonding wire 24 together. Under the action of the force, the original arch of the bonding wire 24 will decrease. At the same time, the movement of the bonding wire 24 will further drive the transmission pad 25 to move closer to one side of the pad sleeve 11. Through the above series of actions, the bonding surface of the flexible protective cover body 19 can be tightly fitted to the patient's wound, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the wound. Moreover, the staff can rotate the rotating rod 16 again according to the actual situation to more precisely adjust the fit between the flexible protective cover body 19 and the wound, ensuring that the protection effect on the wound reaches the best state.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
