Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a restraint glove. Background Technology

[0002] For some ICU patients, whose conditions are severe and change rapidly, there are many tubes inserted into their bodies. These tubes play a significant role in treating the patient's condition. However, due to their illness, patients may pull out the tubes when they cannot bear the pain or are unconscious during treatment. Therefore, medical staff will put protective gloves on the patients to prevent tube removal.

[0003] To prevent patients from moving their hands, existing restraint gloves are usually made quite stiff, making it difficult for patients' hands to bend or move. However, if patients' hands are not moved for a long time, it will cause poor blood flow in the hands, affecting blood circulation and the patient's health. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the above analysis, the present invention aims to provide a restraint glove to solve the problem of poor blood circulation caused by existing restraint gloves making it difficult for patients to move their hands.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is mainly achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A restraint glove includes an auxiliary movement mechanism for finger movement, the auxiliary movement mechanism including an arcuate elastic metal sheet and a bending control assembly for controlling the bending or straightening of the arcuate elastic metal sheet;

[0007] The bending control component includes a flexible sleeve and a rigid insert. The flexible sleeve is disposed on one side of the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet. The rigid insert can be inserted into the flexible sleeve to straighten the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet. The arc-shaped elastic metal sheet includes a fixed section and a movable section. When the rigid insert is pulled out from the flexible sleeve, the movable section can be bent towards the palm.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a back support plate and a flexible palm sleeve, the flexible palm sleeve being connected to the back support plate to form a glove-like structure, the auxiliary movement mechanism being disposed in the internal space of the glove-like structure, and the auxiliary movement mechanism being connected to the back support plate.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a tightening and fixing part, which is connected to both the wrist end of the back of the hand support plate and the wrist end of the flexible palm sleeve.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixed section is positioned close to the tightening and fixing part and is fixedly connected to the back of the hand support plate, and the movable section can be bent into an arc shape of at least 180°.

[0011] Furthermore, the flexible sleeve is disposed between the back of the hand support plate and the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet, and the flexible sleeve is arranged along the length direction of the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet.

[0012] Furthermore, the end of the rigid insert is provided with a push handle, which is located on the outside of the flexible insert.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a guide strip and an elastic band. The guide strip is located at one end of the back of the hand support plate near the tightening and fixing part, and the guide strip is connected to the back of the hand support plate through the elastic band.

[0014] Furthermore, the guide strip is provided with a through hole that mates with the rigid insert. The diameter of the through hole is greater than the maximum width of the cross-section of the rigid insert and less than the maximum width of the cross-section of the push handle.

[0015] Furthermore, the outer sides of the fixed section and the movable section are covered with a flexible protective layer.

[0016] Furthermore, the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet also includes a finger collar, and the movable segment is provided with a finger collar.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0018] (1) This utility model includes an auxiliary activity mechanism for assisting the patient's finger movement. The auxiliary activity mechanism includes an arc-shaped elastic metal sheet and a bending control component for controlling the bending or straightening of the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet. The bending control component includes a flexible sleeve and a rigid insert. The flexible sleeve is located on the rear side of the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet. The arc-shaped elastic metal sheet includes a fixed section and a movable section. When the rigid insert is inserted into the flexible sleeve, the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet is in a taut state under the action of the rigid insert, that is, the movable section does not bend. When the rigid insert is pulled out from the flexible sleeve, the movable section loses the restraint of the rigid insert and bends towards the palm side under its own bending force, pushing the patient's fingers to bend along with it. This can assist the patient's hand movement without removing the restraint gloves and facilitate blood circulation.

[0019] (2) This utility model also includes a guide strip and an elastic band. The guide strip is located at one end of the back support plate near the tightening and fixing part and is connected to the back support plate through the elastic band. The guide strip has a through hole that cooperates with the rigid insert. After the rigid insert passes through the guide strip, it is inserted into the corresponding flexible sleeve. The push handle is locked outside the guide strip. Pulling the guide strip can simultaneously drive five rigid inserts out, realizing the synchronous extraction of multiple rigid inserts and improving the pulling efficiency of the rigid inserts.

[0020] In this invention, the above-described technical solutions can be combined with each other to achieve more preferred combinations.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of the present invention and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0028] A specific embodiment of this utility model, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a restraint glove is disclosed, including an auxiliary movement mechanism 1 for the patient's finger movement. The auxiliary movement mechanism 1 includes an arc-shaped elastic metal sheet 11 and a bending control assembly 12. The bending control assembly 12 is used to control the bending or straightening of the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet 11. The bending control assembly 12 includes a flexible sleeve 121 and a rigid insert 122. The flexible sleeve 121 is located behind the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet 11. The rigid insert 122 can be inserted into the flexible sleeve 121 to support the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet 11 in a taut state. The arc-shaped elastic metal sheet 11 includes a fixed section 111 and a movable section 112. When the rigid insert 122 is withdrawn from the flexible sleeve 121, the movable section 112 can bend towards the palm.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the restraint glove provided in this embodiment includes an auxiliary activity mechanism 1 for assisting the patient's finger movements. The auxiliary activity mechanism 1 includes an arc-shaped elastic metal sheet 11 and a bending control component 12 for controlling the bending or straightening of the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet 11. The bending control component 12 includes a flexible sleeve 121 and a rigid insert 122. The flexible sleeve 121 is located on the rear side of the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet 11. The arc-shaped elastic metal sheet 11 includes a fixed section 111 and a movable section 112. When the rigid insert 122 is inserted into the flexible sleeve 121, the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet 11 is in a taut state under the action of the rigid insert 122, that is, the movable section 112 does not bend. When the rigid insert 122 is pulled out from the flexible sleeve 121, the movable section 112 loses the restraint of the rigid insert 122 and bends towards the palm side under its own bending force, pushing the patient's fingers to bend along with it. This can achieve assistance for the patient's hand movements without removing the restraint glove, and facilitate blood circulation.

[0030] To fix the auxiliary activity mechanism 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, the restraint glove also includes a back-of-hand support plate 2 and a flexible palm sleeve 3. The flexible palm sleeve 3 is connected to the back-of-hand support plate 2 to form a glove-like structure. An auxiliary movement mechanism 1 is located in the internal space of the glove and connected to the back-of-hand support plate 2 to assist the patient's fingers in bending and moving within the restraint glove. The edge of the flexible palm sleeve 3 is connected to the edge of the back-of-hand support plate 2 (e.g., sewn together), leaving an insertion opening for the palm. The back-of-hand support plate 2 faces the back of the patient's hand to restrain the patient's palm, while the flexible palm sleeve 3 faces the patient's palm. Preferably, the back-of-hand support plate 2 is made of rigid plastic, and the flexible palm sleeve 3 is made of cotton or gauze.

[0031] To facilitate sweat wicking and ventilation of the palms inside the restraint gloves, such as Figure 2 As shown, the back of the hand support plate 2 is provided with a first ventilation hole 21, and the palm flexible sleeve 3 is provided with a second ventilation hole (not shown in the figure).

[0032] Considering that restraint gloves need to be secured to the wrist to prevent slippage during use, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the restraint glove also includes a tightening and fixing part 4, which is located at the palm insertion opening retained after the back of the hand support plate 2 and the flexible palm sleeve 3 are connected, and can be tightly fitted onto the patient's wrist. Exemplarily, the tightening and fixing part 4 is sewn to the back of the hand support plate 2 and the flexible palm sleeve 3. Preferably, the tightening and fixing part 4 can be made of an elastic material, or it can be a combination of flexible fabric and tightening straps.

[0033] Since a normal hand has five fingers, both the curved elastic metal sheet 11 and the bending control component 12 are provided with five pieces, with each curved elastic metal sheet 11 corresponding to one of the bending control components 12. The five curved elastic metal sheets 11 correspond to the five fingers of the patient's hand when the hand is open.

[0034] The arc-shaped elastic metal sheet 11 is a steel strip with an inward bending tendency. When the lower end of the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet 11 is fixed, the upper end of the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet 11 can bend towards the flexible sleeve 3 of the palm, that is, away from the back of the hand support plate 2. It should be noted that the inward side refers to the palm side.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the fixed section 111 is located near the tightening and fixing part 4. To prevent the fixed section 111 from bending, the fixed section 111 has at least two connection points that are fixedly connected to the back of the hand support plate 2. Preferably, both the upper and lower ends of the fixed section 111 are fixedly connected to the back of the hand support plate 2. For example, the fixed section 111 is fixed to the back of the hand support plate 2 by screws, steel pins, etc. The movable section 112 is located above the fixed section 111 and can be bent into an arc shape of at least 180°, which facilitates large-scale bending of the fingers.

[0036] In order to enable the fingers to bend when the active segment 112 is bent, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the movable segment 112 is provided with a finger collar 113. Preferably, the finger collar 113 is a circular ring structure and is located in the middle of the movable segment 112. The finger collar 113 is located on the inner side of the movable segment 112 away from the back of the hand support plate 2. The patient inserts their finger into the finger collar 113, binding the finger to the arc-shaped elastic metal plate 11.

[0037] To prevent the curved elastic metal piece 11 from scratching the palm, a flexible protective layer is wrapped around the outside of the fixed section 111 and the movable section 112. This flexible protective layer is made of silicone or soft plastic. Preferably, the flexible sleeve 121 and the flexible protective layer are an integral structure.

[0038] like Figure 3As shown, a flexible sleeve 121 is disposed between the back-of-hand support plate 2 and the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet 11, and is arranged along the length direction of the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet 11. The length of the flexible sleeve 121 is equal to the length of the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet 11, and their ends are aligned. Both ends of the flexible sleeve 121 have flat insertion holes 1211 communicating with the inner cavity of the flexible sleeve 121. The rigid insert 122 is a flat steel strip, which is inserted into the insertion hole 1211 at one end of the flexible sleeve 121. The length of the rigid insert 122 is greater than the length of the flexible sleeve 121. One end of the rigid insert 122 extends from the lower end of the flexible sleeve 121 (i.e., the end near the tightening and fixing part 4), and the rest is located in the flexible sleeve 121.

[0039] To facilitate the insertion and removal of the rigid insert 122, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the end of the rigid insert 122 is provided with a pull-pull handle 1221. The pull-pull handle 1221 is located on the outside of the flexible sleeve 121. The pull-pull handle 1221 facilitates the pulling or pushing of the rigid insert 122 within the flexible sleeve 121.

[0040] Considering the five sets of curved elastic metal sheets 11 and bending control components 12, there will be five rigid inserts 122 that need to be pulled out. In order to pull out all five rigid inserts 122 simultaneously, as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the restraint glove also includes a guide strip 5 and an elastic band 6. The guide strip 5 is located at one end of the back-of-hand support plate 2 near the tightening and fixing part 4, and is connected to the back-of-hand support plate 2 via the elastic band 6. The guide strip 5 has a through hole that mates with the rigid inserts 122. The diameter of the through hole is larger than the maximum width of the cross-section of the rigid insert 122, but smaller than the maximum width of the cross-section of the push handle 1221, so that the push handle 1221 can be locked on the outside of the guide strip 5. The five rigid inserts 122 pass through the guide strip 5 and are inserted into the corresponding flexible sleeves 121. The five rigid inserts 122 can be pulled out individually or together with the guide strip 5.

[0041] In this embodiment, the patient's hand is put into a restraint glove to restrain the patient's hand. When the patient's fingers need to move, the guide strip 5 is pulled outward, which in turn causes the five rigid inserts 122 to be pulled outward together. This causes the movable section 112 of the arc-shaped elastic metal sheet 11 to lose the restraint of the rigid inserts 122. The movable section 112 bends inward under its own bending force, pushing the patient's fingers to bend along with it. By inserting and removing the rigid inserts 122, the fingers can be bent or straightened. After the activity is completed, the rigid inserts 122 are inserted back to straighten the fingers again.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
