Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to an adjustable inflatable shoulder and neck pad device. Background Technology

[0002] In maxillofacial and neck surgeries, in order to ensure a clear surgical field and enable doctors to perform the procedure smoothly, it is necessary to elevate the patient's neck and shoulders and maintain a specific posture to fully expose the surgical site.

[0003] Traditional shoulder and neck padding methods often use pillows of fixed shape and height, making it difficult to flexibly adjust them according to different patients' body shapes and surgical needs. This can lead to poor patient comfort during surgery, affect the stability of the surgical position, and even hinder the smooth progress of the surgical procedure. For example, for patients with short necks or who are obese, a fixed-height pillow cannot provide sufficient elevation, which is not conducive to fully exposing the surgical area of ​​the neck; while for patients with long necks or who are thin, an excessively high pillow may cause excessive extension of the neck, leading to discomfort or even potential injury risks.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new adjustable inflatable shoulder and neck pad device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide an adjustable inflatable shoulder and neck pad device that can be individually adjusted according to the patient's height and neck condition to meet the positioning requirements of maxillofacial and cervical surgery.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the adjustable inflatable shoulder and neck pad device provided by this utility model includes: a neck pad with arc-shaped sidewalls, and shoulder pads with crescent-shaped surfaces installed at both ends of the neck pad; multiple airbags are installed on the surfaces of the neck pad and the shoulder pads; each airbag consists of a first expansion layer, a fixing layer, and a second expansion layer; the fixing layer is fixed inside the neck pad and the shoulder pads; the first expansion layer and the second expansion layer are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the fixing layer; the first expansion layer is located on the surface of the neck pad and the shoulder pads; the second expansion layer with wavy sidewalls is located inside the neck pad and the shoulder pads; the bottom surface of the neck pad and the shoulder pads is provided with a groove, and the second expansion layer is slidably connected to the inside of the groove.

[0007] Preferably, the neck pad and the shoulder pad are internally installed with branch pipes, which are connected to the interior of the airbag via connecting pipes.

[0008] Preferably, multiple branch pipes are installed on the side wall of the main pipe, and the number of branch pipes is the same as the number of airbags.

[0009] Preferably, an air pump is installed at one end of the main pipe, an exhaust pipe is installed on the side wall of the main pipe, and valves are installed on the side walls of both the branch pipes and the exhaust pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the shoulder pad has a fixing buckle installed on its side wall, and the neck pad has an elastic band installed at one end.

[0011] Preferably, the sidewalls of the groove are arc-shaped, and the bottom of the groove, which has a "V" shaped cross-section, is symmetrically fitted with rubber strips.

[0012] Compared with related technologies, the adjustable inflatable shoulder and neck pad device provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0013] Beneficial effects:

[0014] This invention provides an adjustable inflatable shoulder and neck pad device. The shoulder pad is crescent-shaped, and its width and curvature are ergonomically designed to conform to the patient's shoulder contour. The neck pad is located above the shoulder pad and is curved to match the physiological curve of the human neck. Multiple airbags are installed on the surfaces of both the shoulder and neck pads. When the height of the shoulder and neck pads needs to be adjusted, the airbags are inflated, causing the first expansion layer to expand outwards, elevating the patient's shoulder and neck and exposing the surgical field. During maxillofacial surgery, if the patient's head needs to be slightly tilted to one side, the inflation of the corresponding airbag on one side can be adjusted to make its height slightly higher than the other side, thus achieving a natural tilt of the patient's head and better exposing the surgical site. When it is necessary to inflate a single airbag to adjust the height and slope of the patient's shoulder, the caregiver places their hand inside the groove corresponding to that airbag and uses their hand to open the groove outwards, creating a gap at the top of the groove, and continues to inflate the airbag, causing the second expansion layer to expand. The first layer expands outward and slides out from the groove. The second expansion layer expands and contacts the operating table, increasing the contact area between the second expansion layer and the operating table. This allows the second expansion layer to lift part of the shoulder pad upward, changing the height and slope of the patient's shoulder. Similarly, in neck surgery, the surgeon can adjust the inflation level of a single airbag according to the location and depth of the surgical incision to change the position of the patient's neck. For example, if the surgical incision is located in a lower position at the front of the neck, the inflation volume inside the airbag at the front of the neck pad can be appropriately increased. The airbag slides out from the groove and raises the front of the neck, making the surgical field clearer. If the surgery involves the posterior region of the neck, the inflation volume inside the airbag at the rear of the neck pad can be increased. The airbag slides out from the groove and lifts the posterior region of the patient's neck, changing the extension of the patient's neck, better exposing the surgical field, and facilitating the surgeon's operation.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the adjustable inflatable shoulder and neck padding device provided by this utility model; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The image shows a side view of the internal structure of the airbag. Figure 3 for Figure 2 The diagram shows an enlarged view of the structure at point A. The adjustable inflatable shoulder and neck pad device includes: a neck pad 1 with arc-shaped sidewalls; shoulder pads 2 with crescent-shaped surfaces mounted at both ends of the neck pad 1; and multiple airbags 3 mounted on the surfaces of both the neck pad 1 and the shoulder pads 2. The neck pad 1 and shoulder pads 2 are made of medical-grade silicone, ensuring comfort in contact with the patient's body while providing stable support for the patient's shoulders and neck. The crescent-shaped shoulder pads 2 are ergonomically designed in terms of width and curvature to conform to the patient's shoulder contours. The neck pad 1 is located above the shoulder pad 2 and is curved in an arc shape to match the physiological curve of the human neck. Multiple airbags 3 are installed on the surface of both the shoulder pad 2 and the neck pad 1. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the shoulder pad 2 and the neck pad 1, the first expansion layer 31 expands outward by inflating the airbags 3, raising the patient's shoulders and neck upward and exposing the surgical field. During maxillofacial surgery, if it is necessary for the patient's head to be slightly tilted to one side, the inflation amount of the corresponding airbag 3 can be adjusted to make its height slightly higher than the other side, thereby achieving a natural tilt of the patient's head and better exposing the surgical site.

[0021] The airbag 3 is composed of a first expansion layer 31, a fixing layer 32, and a second expansion layer 33. The fixing layer 32 is fixed inside the neck pad 1 and the shoulder pad 2. The first expansion layer 31 and the second expansion layer 33 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the fixing layer 32, respectively. The first expansion layer 31 is located on the surface of the neck pad 1 and the shoulder pad 2, and the second expansion layer 33, with a wavy sidewall, is located inside the neck pad 1 and the shoulder pad 2. The bottom surface of the neck pad 1 and the shoulder pad 2 is provided with a groove 11, and the second expansion layer 33 is slidably connected to the inside of the groove 11. When it is necessary to inflate the individual airbag 3 to adjust the height and slope of the patient's shoulder, the nurse places their hand inside the groove 11 corresponding to the airbag 3, and uses their hand to open the groove 11 outward, creating a gap at the top of the groove 11. Inflation continues, and the second expansion layer 33 expands outward and slides out from inside the groove 11. The expanded second expansion layer 33 contacts the operating table, increasing the contact area between the second expansion layer 33 and the operating table. This allows the second expansion layer 33 to lift part of the shoulder pad 2 upward, changing the height and slope of the patient's shoulder. Similarly, in neck surgery... During the procedure, the surgeon can adjust the inflation level of each airbag 3 according to the location and depth of the surgical incision, thereby changing the position of the patient's neck. For example, if the surgical incision is located in a lower position at the front of the neck, the inflation volume of the airbag 3 at the front of the neck pad 1 can be appropriately increased. The airbag 3 slides out from the groove 11 and elevates the front of the neck, making the surgical field clearer. If the surgery involves the posterior region of the neck, the inflation volume of the airbag 3 at the rear of the neck pad 1 can be increased. The airbag 3 slides out from the groove and pushes upwards to lift the posterior region of the patient's neck, changing the degree of extension of the patient's neck, better exposing the surgical field, and facilitating the surgeon's operation.

[0022] The neck pad 1 and the shoulder pad 2 are equipped with branch pipes 5, which are connected to the interior of the airbag 3 through a connecting pipe 51. Multiple branch pipes 5 are installed on the side wall of the main pipe 4, and the number of branch pipes 5 is the same as the number of airbags 3, so that each branch pipe 5 corresponds to one airbag 3. Each airbag 3 can be inflated individually through the branch pipes 5. An air pump 10 is installed at one end of the main pipe 4, and an exhaust pipe 9 is installed on the side wall of the main pipe 4. Valves 6 are installed on the side walls of both the branch pipes 5 and the exhaust pipe 9. In order to connect the air pump 10 to an external power source, the air pump 10 is turned on, and the air pump 10 quickly rushes air into the interior of the main pipe 4. The valves 6 on the side walls of the branch pipes 5 are opened, so that the gas inside the main pipe 4 enters the interior of the airbag 3 through the branch pipes 5 and the connecting pipe 51, causing the airbag 3 to inflate.

[0023] The shoulder pad 2 is fitted with a fixing buckle 8 on its side wall. When not in use, the fixing buckles 8 are fastened together, and the two shoulder pads 2 are connected together, thereby folding the shoulder pad 2 away. An elastic band 7 is attached to one end of the shoulder pad 2 and the neck pad 1. During use, the shoulder pad 2 is in contact with the patient's shoulder, and the patient's arm passes through the elastic band 7. The elastic band 7 is tied to the patient's arm, fixing the shoulder pad 2 to the patient's shoulder and preventing the shoulder pad 2 from shifting during use.

[0024] The sidewalls of the groove 11 are arc-shaped, and the top of the groove 11 is normally closed to prevent the second expansion layer 33 from sliding out of the inside of the groove 11. Rubber strips 12 are symmetrically installed at the bottom of the groove 11, which has a "V" shaped cross-section. During normal use, the rubber strips 12 are in contact with the hospital bed, increasing the stability of the shoulder pad 2 and the neck pad 1 at the groove 11. When it is necessary to open the groove 11, the medical staff put their hands inside the groove 11, grasp and squeeze the rubber strips 12 outward, thereby making it easier to open the top of the groove 11 and allow the third expansion layer 33 to slide out of the inside of the groove 11.

[0025] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
