Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nursing devices, and in particular to an ankle fixation brace. Background Technology

[0002] Lateral ligament injuries are relatively common in clinical practice, and are caused by forceful inversion of the foot. Partial tears of the lateral ligament are more common, and their clinical manifestations include pain and swelling on the lateral side of the ankle, limping, and sometimes subcutaneous hematoma; there is tenderness in the lateral ligament area; and the pain in the lateral ligament area is aggravated when the foot is inverted.

[0003] After an ankle sprain, the local soft tissues (muscles, blood vessels, and ligaments) bleed or leak due to the trauma, causing swelling and pain in the ankle, which worsens after activity. Massaging or applying heat to the injured area at this time will not only fail to reduce the hematoma but will also artificially aggravate the injury, causing blood vessels to dilate, increasing bleeding, and further worsening the condition.

[0004] When the ankle suffers minor sprains or other injuries, it is necessary to immobilize the foot to prevent secondary injury caused by stress on the ankle and the entire foot during normal walking. Therefore, ankle braces are needed to prevent secondary injuries caused by ankle displacement. However, existing ankle braces generally use plaster casts for fixation, which is relatively troublesome and inconvenient to remove for dressing changes. Therefore, an ankle brace is needed to improve the ease of ankle immobilization. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an ankle fixation brace to overcome the inconvenience of ankle fixation.

[0006] The technical solution to achieve the above objective is: an ankle fixation brace, comprising two symmetrically distributed outer support plates, two arrayed circular holes on the sidewall of each outer support plate, multiple ventilation holes on the sidewall of each outer support plate, a first through hole at the bottom end of each outer support plate, two sets of symmetrically distributed second through holes on the sidewall of one outer support plate, a set of symmetrically distributed second through holes on the sidewall of the other outer support plate, multiple linear rods on the sidewall of each outer support plate, a chamfered bevel on the front sidewall of the top end of each outer support plate, and the inner curved surface of each outer support plate being a curved surface of the outer surface of the ankle.

[0007] A fixing pin is inserted into the circular hole, and one end of the fixing pin is connected to an inner pad. The side wall of the inner pad is in contact with the outer support plate. The bottom ends of the two inner pads are connected to a first connecting strap, and one end of the two first connecting straps is connected to a bottom pad. One side wall of one inner pad is connected to one end of a second connecting strap, and the other end of the second connecting strap is connected to the side wall of the other inner pad. One back side wall of one inner pad is connected to one end of a double-layer strap, and the other side wall of the strap and the back side wall of the initial end of the strap are both connected to Velcro.

[0008] Preferably, the sidewall of the first connecting strap passes through the first through hole, the sidewall of the second connecting strap passes through the second through hole on another outer support plate, and the sidewall of the strap passes through the second through hole on one of the outer support plates.

[0009] Preferably, the inner curved surface of the outer support plate conforms to the ergonomic ankle curve design.

[0010] Preferably, the vent is located in the lower half of the side wall of the outer support plate.

[0011] Preferably, the inner pad can be made of cotton cloth.

[0012] Preferably, the inner pad can be made of an inflatable pressure bladder.

[0013] Preferably, the inner pad may be made of a sealed bag containing hot and cold gel.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The sole of the foot is placed on the base pad, and the fixing pin is fixedly connected to the inner pad, so that the inner pad and the outer support plate are connected as one unit. The outer support plates located on both sides of the foot are brought inward, so that the inner pad can be in contact with the surface of the ankle and the connection between the leg and the foot. The inner pad can be tightly attached to the inner surface of the outer support plate. The inner curved surface of the outer support plate conforms to the ergonomic ankle curved surface design, so that the inner pad can fit the curved surface of the outer support plate. The inner pad will also form a curved surface that conforms to the surface of the ankle, that is, satisfying that the inner side of the ankle is high and forward, and the outer side of the ankle is low and backward, so that the inner pad and the surface of the ankle can be comfortably attached together. The strap is wrapped around the outer side of the two outer support plates once, so that the Velcro on the other end of the strap is connected to the Velcro on the back of the initial end of the strap, thereby clamping the two outer support plates, thus achieving a convenient and comfortable fixation effect for the ankle.

The inner curved surface of the outer support plate 1 is set as the curved surface of the outer surface of the ankle. The inner curved surface of the outer support plate 1 conforms to the ergonomic ankle curved surface design.

[0030] A fixing pin 8 is inserted into the round hole 2. One end of the fixing pin 8 is connected to an inner pad 7. The side wall of the inner pad 7 is in contact with the outer support plate 1. The bottom ends of the two inner pads 7 are connected to a first connecting strip 9. One end of the two first connecting strips 9 is connected to a bottom pad 10. One side wall of one inner pad 7 is connected to one end of a second connecting strip 13. The other end of the second connecting strip 13 is connected to the side wall of the other inner pad 7. One end of a double-layer binding strap 11 is connected to the back side wall of one inner pad 7. The other side wall of the binding strap 11 and the back side wall of the initial end of the binding strap 11 are both connected to Velcro 12. The side wall of the first connecting strip 9 passes through the first through hole 4. The side wall of the second connecting strip 13 passes through the second through hole 5 on the other outer support plate 1. The side wall of the binding strap 11 passes through the second through hole 5 on one of the outer support plates 1. The second connecting strip 13 connects the two inner pads 7 into one unit.

[0031] Spread the two outer support plates 1 on both sides of the base pad 10, place the bottom of the foot on the base pad 10, and fix the fixing pin 8 to the inner pad 7, so that the inner pad 7 and the outer support plate 1 are connected as one unit.
