Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forearm sling technology, specifically a forearm sling. Background Technology
[0002] A forearm sling is a medical accessory used to support and stabilize the forearm. Forearm slings are typically made of soft, breathable, and adjustable materials, such as fabric or elastic materials, to ensure patient comfort when wearing them. The sling is designed to provide support and fixation for the forearm, reducing or preventing discomfort during injury or rehabilitation.
[0003] The aforementioned device lacks a forearm sling support structure and lumbar auxiliary support structure during use. As a result, existing forearm slings, in order to ensure patient comfort, mostly use relatively soft materials for the arm support. Although they are very comfortable, they have poor support in actual use and are prone to deformation and loss of support after a period of use. Moreover, during the wearing process, it is difficult to control the lateral swing of the arm, which makes it easy to collide with other objects and cause secondary injuries. Based on the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model designs a forearm sling. Utility Model Content

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.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 A forearm sling includes an arm support 1, a waist belt 2 surrounding the outer side of the arm support 1, a support mechanism 3 for easy shaping and fixation on the inner side of the arm support 1, a first connecting strap 101 fixedly connected to the arm support 1, and the two ends of the bottom of the first connecting strap 101 fixedly connected to the front and back sides of the arm support 1 respectively, a buckle 102 sleeved on the first connecting strap 101, a second connecting strap 103 sleeved on the top of the buckle 102, a first D-ring buckle 104 slidably disposed on the second connecting strap 103, a shoulder pad 105 fixedly connected to the top of the second connecting strap 103, a shoulder strap 106 fixedly connected to the back of the shoulder pad 105, and the shoulder pad 105 overlapping and set at the patient's shoulder.
[0022] Please see Figure 4 The support mechanism 3 includes a fixed sleeve 301, a finger groove 302, a support arc plate 303, and a finger strap 304. The fixed sleeve 301 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the left end of the arm support 1. The finger groove 302 is opened on the upper surface of the fixed sleeve 301. The support arc plate 303 is slidably inserted into the inside of the fixed sleeve 301. The finger strap 304 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the left end of the arm support 1. The finger groove 302 is opened above the support arc plate 303. The bottom arc surface of the support arc plate 303 is in close contact with the bottom of the inner cavity of the arm support 1.
[0023] By setting a fixing sleeve 301 and a supporting arc plate 303, the bottom of the arm support 1 is shaped and supported to prevent deformation. At the same time, it supports the patient's arm after the patient's arm is placed in the arm support 1. By setting a finger strap 304, the patient's thumb can be inserted into the arm support 1 to firmly fix the arm in the arm support 1 to prevent slippage.
[0024] Please see Figure 3 One end of the arm support 1 is fixedly connected to a first fixing strap 201, a first connecting ring 202 is rotatably connected to the first fixing strap 201, a first universal buckle 203 is movably fastened to the first connecting ring 202, a second D-ring buckle 204 is slidably disposed on the waist belt 2, a waist pad 205 is slidably sleeved on the waist belt 2, a second fixing strap 206 is fixedly connected to the front of the arm support 1, a second connecting ring 207 is rotatably connected to the second fixing strap 206, a second universal buckle 208 is movably fastened to the second connecting ring 207, one end of the waist belt 2 is sleeved on the first universal buckle 203, the other end of the waist belt 2 is sleeved on the second universal buckle 208, the waist belt 2 is wrapped around the patient's waist, and the waist pad 205 fits snugly against the patient's waist.
[0025] By setting up a waist belt 2, a second buckle 204, and a lumbar pad 205, the length of the waist belt 2 can be adjusted to fix the arm support 1 and the inner arm according to patients of different body types. By setting up a first universal buckle 203 and a second universal buckle 208, it can be connected to the first fixing strap 201, the first connecting ring 202, the second fixing strap 206, and the second connecting ring 207 connected to the arm support 1, so as to achieve flexible installation of the waist belt 2 and fit the patient's waist.
[0026] Working principle: When a forearm sling is used, in the initial state, the first connecting strap 101 is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the arm support 1. The buckle 102 set at the top of the first connecting strap 101 is connected to the second connecting strap 103. The shoulder pad 105 fixedly connected to the top of the second connecting strap 103 is connected to the shoulder strap 106 fixedly connected to one side of the arm support 1, so as to use the shoulder to support and fix the arm. The first fixing strap 201, the first connecting ring 202, the first universal buckle 203, the second fixing strap 206, the second connecting ring 207 and the second universal buckle 208 set at both ends of the arm support 1 are connected by a waist belt 2. The waist belt 2 is provided with a second D-ring buckle 204 and a waist pad 205, so as to adjust the length of the waist belt 2 to adapt to patients with different waist sizes. A support arc plate 303 is inserted into the fixing sleeve 301 fixedly connected to the inner side of one end of the arm support 1, so as to maintain the shape of the arm support 1 and provide shaping support for the patient's arm.
[0027] When it is necessary to provide shaping support for the patient's arm, first insert the support arc plate 303 into the fixing sleeve 301 for fixation. Then, move the arm from right to left, pass it under the first connecting strap 101, and place it inside the arm support 1. After placing the second connecting strap 103, shoulder pad 105, and shoulder strap 106 on the shoulder, use the first D-ring buckle 104 to adjust the tightness of the suspension support for the arm support 1. At this time, insert the thumb into the finger strap 304 for auxiliary positioning. Then, the medical staff takes the waist belt 2 and fastens the first universal buckle 203 on the right end to the first connecting ring 202, wraps it around the back of the patient's waist to the front, and then fastens the second universal buckle 208 to the second connecting ring 207. Finally, move the second D-ring buckle 204 to adjust the tightness of the waist belt 2 around the patient's waist to complete the positioning of the arm support 1. This device facilitates shaping support for the patient's arm.
[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
