Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an adjustable position device for robotic breast surgery. Background Technology

[0002] Robotic breast surgery is a surgical procedure that uses robotic technology to treat breast diseases. During the procedure, one of the patient's shoulders is elevated to facilitate exposure of the breast and to allow the robotic arm to enter the patient's body from the armpit.

[0003] To improve the safety of the surgery, a soft pillow needs to be placed under the patient's shoulder on one side during the actual operation. However, the following problems may arise during this procedure:

[0004] 1. When a soft pillow is placed under one of the patient's shoulders, the thickness of the pillow will cause the patient's back to be suspended in the air between the back and the operating table. This can lead to back discomfort after a long surgery.

[0005] 2. When placing the soft pillow under the patient's shoulder, the patient's upper body needs to be lifted before placing the soft pillow under the shoulder on the side where the surgery is to be performed. When it is necessary to remove the soft pillow from under the patient's shoulder on one side, the patient's upper body needs to be lifted first before the soft pillow can be pulled out. The patient needs to be moved throughout the entire operation. The patient has a certain weight, which makes it difficult and inconvenient to place the soft pillow under the patient's shoulder.

[0006] 3. During the surgery, it is necessary to compare the breasts on both sides of the patient to avoid the situation where the breasts are different. In actual operation, the patient needs to be moved many times, which is not only laborious but also time-consuming, and will affect the efficiency of the operation. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide an adjustable position device for robotic breast surgery, which solves the problem of the patient's back being suspended from the operating table during the use of existing devices.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A robotic breast surgery positioning device includes an operating table placed on the ground and a pair of positioning adjustment mechanisms symmetrically arranged on the surface of the operating table. Each positioning adjustment mechanism includes a shoulder elevation airbag fixed to the front of the surface of the operating table, several back support airbags closely arranged behind the shoulder elevation airbags along the length of the operating table and interconnected with each other, and a first connecting tube between the shoulder elevation airbags and one of the back support airbags. The multiple back support airbags are all fixed to the surface of the operating table, and the back support airbag located at the foremost side abuts against the shoulder elevation airbag. The height of the multiple back support airbags gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0010] More preferably, each body position adjustment mechanism has a vertically arranged buffer airbag with a gradually decreasing height from the outside to the inside. The buffer airbag is fixedly connected to the surface of the operating table, and a second connecting tube is provided between the buffer airbag and the shoulder elevation airbag on the corresponding side.

[0011] Even better, an elastic connecting strip is vertically fixed between the two airbags.

[0012] More preferably, each body position adjustment mechanism is covered with a first elastic layer on its upper surface, and each cushioning airbag is covered with a second elastic layer on its upper surface, with the first elastic layer and the corresponding second elastic layer integrally formed.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model sets multiple back support airbags with gradually decreasing height from front to back on the back side of the shoulder lifting airbag, so that after the shoulder lifting airbag lifts the corresponding shoulder, the multiple back support airbags can support the patient's back, thereby avoiding the patient's back being suspended between the back and the operating table after one shoulder is lifted, and minimizing the discomfort caused by the patient's back being suspended for a long time during the operation.

[0015] 2. This utility model fixes the body position adjustment mechanism to the bed board. When in use, it is only necessary to inflate the shoulder lifting airbag on the corresponding side to lift the shoulder on that side. During this process, there is no need to move the patient, thereby reducing the difficulty of lifting the patient's shoulder on one side and making it easier for medical staff to operate.

[0016] 3. This utility model can raise or lower the patient's shoulder on one side by inflating or deflating the unilateral body position adjustment mechanism, thereby avoiding the need to move the patient multiple times during the operation to compare the two breasts. This saves the physical strength of medical staff and the comparison time, thereby improving the efficiency of the operation and saving the operation time. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] A robotic breast surgery positioning device includes an operating table 1 placed on the ground and a pair of positioning adjustment mechanisms 2 symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the operating table 1. Each positioning adjustment mechanism 2 includes a shoulder elevation airbag 21 fixed to the front of the upper surface of the operating table 1, several back support airbags 22 closely arranged behind the shoulder elevation airbags 21 and interconnected along the length of the operating table 1, and a first connecting tube 23 between the shoulder elevation airbags 21 and one of the back support airbags 22. The multiple back support airbags 22 are all fixed to the upper surface of the operating table 1, and the back support airbag 22 located at the foremost side abuts against the shoulder elevation airbag 21. The height of the multiple back support airbags 22 gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0028] When using this device, the shoulder on the corresponding side can be raised according to the location of the breast surgery as needed. By inflating the shoulder-raising airbag 21 on the corresponding side, the shoulder-raising airbag 21 and the back support airbag 22 on the corresponding side expand, thereby raising the shoulder on that side.

[0029] As a possible implementation of this solution, preferably, each body position adjustment mechanism 2 has a vertically arranged buffer airbag 3 with a gradually decreasing height from the outside to the inside. The buffer airbag 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the operating table 1, and a second connecting pipe 4 is provided between the buffer airbag 3 and the corresponding shoulder lifting airbag 21. The buffer airbag 3 can support the middle position of the patient's back when the patient's shoulder is raised on one side, thereby avoiding the two sides of the back being suspended in the air as much as possible, so as to improve the patient's comfort.

[0030] As a possible implementation of this solution, preferably, an elastic connecting strip 5 is vertically fixed between the two cushioning airbags 3; the setting of the elastic connecting strip 5 can further support the middle position of the patient's back when one side of the patient's shoulder is raised, thereby avoiding the situation where the area of ​​the patient's back between the two cushioning airbags 3 cannot be in contact with the cushioning airbags 3 when one side of the shoulder is raised, thereby further improving the patient's comfort during the operation.

[0031] As a possible implementation of this solution, preferably, each body position adjustment mechanism 2 is covered with a first elastic layer 24 on its upper surface, and each cushioning airbag 3 is covered with a second elastic layer 31 on its upper surface. The first elastic layer 24 and the corresponding second elastic layer 31 are integrally formed. By setting the first elastic layer 24 and the second elastic layer 31, the probability of patients developing pressure sores during surgery can be reduced, while improving the patient's comfort.

[0032] The working principle of this device is as follows:

[0033] In use, the patient's shoulder is positioned above the elevation airbag 21, and then the patient lies on the hospital bed. An external inflation mechanism (such as an inflation / deflation device or a suction pump) inflates the shoulder elevation airbag 21 on that side. Due to the first connecting pipe 23 and the second connecting pipe 4, gas flows into the multiple back support airbags 22 and cushioning airbags 3 on that side, inflating them until they are fully inflated. Inflation stops when the airbags are completely filled. At this point, the patient's shoulder is lifted upwards by the shoulder elevation airbag 21, and the multiple back support airbags 22 provide support to the area below the shoulder on the patient's back. The support and cushioning airbag 3 provides support to the middle of the patient's back, thereby minimizing the unsupported area between the operating table and the patient's back to improve patient comfort. When it is necessary to compare the two breasts of the patient or after the surgery, it is only necessary to use an external inflation mechanism (such as an inflation / deflation device, suction pump, etc.) to suction the shoulder lifting airbag 21 on that side. At this time, under the action of the first connecting tube 23 and the second connecting tube 4, the gas in the back support airbag 22 and the cushioning airbag 3 also flows out through the shoulder lifting airbag 21, so that the multiple back support airbags 22, cushioning airbags 3 and shoulder lifting airbags 21 on that side are level with the other side, and the patient is in a horizontal position.

[0034] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
