Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of positioning pad technology, specifically relating to a postoperative positioning pad for hip joint surgery. Background Technology
[0002] Hip surgery is commonly used to treat conditions such as hip fractures, femoral head necrosis, and hip dislocation. Postoperatively, patients require prolonged bed rest for recovery, and proper positioning is crucial for promoting rehabilitation. Inappropriate positioning can lead to complications such as hip dislocation, lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, and pressure sores, affecting the patient's recovery process and prognosis. While wedge-shaped positioning pads are typically used to maintain lower limb abduction after hip surgery to prevent dislocation, it is also generally necessary to elevate the patient's lower limbs. Traditionally, pillows are used to elevate the lower limbs to some extent, but this method is unstable and prone to displacement, failing to adequately meet the requirements for promoting blood flow and reducing swelling after hip surgery. Traditional wedge-shaped positioning pads only maintain lower limb abduction and cannot elevate the lower limbs. Furthermore, turning patients after hip surgery requires extra care to prevent excessive hip joint movement. In routine nursing care, assisting with turning is difficult, requiring at least two nurses, resulting in significant manpower consumption. Utility Model Content

[0019] 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.
[0020] Example 1
[0021] Please see Figures 1-2 This utility model provides the following technical solution: a postoperative positioning pad for hip joint surgery, including a pad body 1, the bottom end of the pad body 1 is an arc surface, the top end of the pad body 1 is provided with two sloping placement grooves 2, the included angle between the two placement grooves 2 is 24-30 degrees, a fixation device 3 for fixing the patient's lower limb is installed on the pad body 1 at the placement groove 2, the bottom end of the pad body 1 is provided with two mounting grooves 4, each mounting groove 4 is rotatably installed with a support pad 5, the surface of the support pad 5 is arc-shaped and the arc matches the arc of the bottom end of the pad body 1, when the support pad 5 is completely stored in the mounting groove 4, the surface of the support pad 5 and the bottom end surface of the pad body 1 are on the same arc surface, and an easy-fastening groove 6 is provided on one side of the bottom end of the pad body 1 at the mounting groove 4.
[0022] In this embodiment, the fixing device 3 consists of a fixing strap 7 and a fixing ring 8. The fixing strap 7 is sewn onto the top of the pad 1 and located on one side of the placement groove 2. The fixing ring 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the pad 1 and located on the other side of the placement groove 2. The top surface of the fixing strap 7 is sewn with a first Velcro 9 and a second Velcro 10. The bottom surface of the fixing strap 7 is provided with a silicone pad 11.
[0023] Specifically, after placing the pad 1 on the hospital bed, the support pad 5 is rotated to unfold the two support pads 5 into a figure-eight shape, thereby improving the stability of the pad 1 on the hospital bed. The patient's lower limbs are placed in the two placement slots 2 respectively. Because the placement slots 2 have a slope, they can elevate the patient's lower limbs, promote blood return, and reduce swelling of the patient's lower limbs. The angle between the two placement slots 2 is 24-30 degrees, so the patient's lower limbs can be kept in abducted after being placed in the placement slots 2, avoiding postoperative dislocation of the hip joint. The fixation strap 7 is passed through the fixation ring 8 and flipped to make the first Velcro 9 and the second Velcro 10 adhere together. Then, the fixation strap 7 is used to secure the device. The function of the device is to fix the patient's lower limbs, thereby preventing the patient's lower limbs from falling out of the placement slot 2 and affecting the elevation and abduction of the affected limb. The silicone pad 11 can disperse the pressure of the fixation strap 7 on the patient's lower limbs, thus reducing pressure. When turning the patient over, it is only necessary to slightly raise the pad body 1 and rotate the support pad 5 so that the support pad 5 returns to the installation slot 4. Since the surface of the support pad 5 is arc-shaped and the arc matches the arc of the bottom end of the pad body 1, when the support pad 5 is completely stored in the installation slot 4, the surface of the support pad 5 and the bottom end surface of the pad body 1 are on the same arc surface. Therefore, this method allows one nurse to complete the turning of the patient, effectively reducing the consumption of human resources.
[0024] Example 2
[0025] Please see Figures 2-3 In this embodiment, a third hook and loop fastener is provided at the tail end of the pad 1.

The curvature of the circular retaining pad 12 matches the curvature of the bottom end of the pad 1. An adjustment groove 13 is provided on the front of the circular retaining pad 12 at the two mounting grooves 4 respectively. An adjustment device 14 is installed in the adjustment groove 13.
[0026] In this embodiment, the adjusting device 14 is a sponge pad, a fifth hook and loop fastener is installed in the adjusting groove 13, a sixth hook and loop fastener is installed on the back of the sponge pad, and the fifth hook and loop fastener are bonded together.
[0027] Specifically, the circular retaining pad 12 is attached to the end of the pad body 1 by the third and fourth Velcro fasteners. The patient's foot is then placed against the surface of the circular retaining pad 12, which can block the patient's foot and prevent the foot from hanging in the air for a long time, thus preventing foot drop. Medical staff can also install the sponge pad in the corresponding position according to the position of the patient's arch, so that the sponge pad can provide support for the patient's arch. The sponge pad is soft and will not cause discomfort to the patient.

An adjustment groove 13 is provided on the front of the circular retaining pad 12 at the two mounting grooves 4 respectively. An adjustment device 14 is installed in the adjustment groove 13.
[0030] In this embodiment, the adjusting device 14 is an inflatable balloon, which is fixedly installed in the adjusting groove 13, and the fixing device 3 is an arc-shaped airbag 15 installed in the placement groove 2.
[0031] Specifically, the circular pad 12 acts as a barrier around the patient's foot, while the inflatable airbag reduces pressure on the sole of the foot, preventing pressure injuries caused by prolonged contact with the circular pad 12. When the curved airbag 15 is inflated, it stabilizes the patient's lower limb, preventing it from slipping out of the placement slot 2. Furthermore, the curved airbag 15 also helps to prevent pressure sores caused by excessive pressure on the lower limb.
