Description

A restraint device for preventing skin damage in patients Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical technology, specifically to a restraint device for preventing skin damage in patients. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, comatose patients or neurosurgical patients generally exhibit characteristics such as restlessness, confusion, or poor self-control. Clinically, restraint devices are usually used to restrain and control the patient's hands or feet. Most current restraint devices consist of a square cloth strip with two cloth strips connected to both ends. The patient's wrists are restrained by the two cloth strips and then tied to the bed rails to achieve fixed restraint of the patient's hands.

[0003] Restraint straps are typically wrapped around the wrist. When tightly bound, the heavy straps exert a certain constricting force on the patient's skin. Prolonged use can cause skin injuries, impaired blood circulation, and skin edema. Therefore, we propose a restraint device to prevent skin damage in order to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a restraint device for preventing skin damage in patients, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-3. This utility model provides a restraint device for preventing skin damage to patients, including a first fitted glove 1 and a second fitted glove 2 positioned directly below the first fitted glove 1. Both the first fitted glove 1 and the second fitted glove 2 have placement positions for the patient's thumb and little finger joints at their front ends. A connecting fabric 3 is provided between the first fitted glove 1 and the second fitted glove 2, with its upper and lower ends sewn to the second fitted glove 2 and the first fitted glove 1, respectively. The connecting fabric 3 is made of spandex. The fabric is soft, and the fitted gloves 1 and 2 can be turned up at a certain angle. The patient can put their thumb and little finger through the joints at the front of the fitted gloves 1 and 2 respectively, while the patient's other three fingers can be exposed, making it convenient for nurses to draw blood. Both fitted gloves 1 and 2 are made of breathable mesh fabric, and fitted gloves 1 and 2 are more breathable and more comfortable to wear. The back of fitted gloves 1 and 2 can wrap around the patient's wrist for subsequent adjustment with the adjustment mechanism.

[0022] An adjustment mechanism is evenly distributed on the outer edges of the first and second fitting gloves (1 and 2) to adjust the distance between them. The mechanism includes Velcro 4 and Velcro 5. Velcro 4 is evenly distributed and fixed to the outer side of the first fitting glove (1) and can be folded upwards. Velcro 5 is evenly distributed and fixed to the upper surface of the second fitting glove (2), and Velcro 4 can be correspondingly attached to Velcro 5. The distance between the first and second fitting gloves (1 and 2) can be adjusted according to the patient's hand size, ensuring that the gloves maintain non-pressure contact with the patient's skin. Multiple sets of Velcro 4 and Velcro 5 work together for a more secure fixation without causing a constricting feeling on the patient's hand. Prolonged use provides greater comfort and prevents skin edema.

[0023] A limiting mechanism is installed on the first and second fitted gloves (1 and 2) to limit their movement. The limiting mechanism includes a mounting groove 6 and straps 7. The mounting groove 6 is symmetrically distributed and extends through the upper rear side of the second fitted glove 2. The straps 7 are symmetrically distributed and fixed to the inner wall of the first fitted glove 1, and extend through the mounting groove 6 to the outside of the second fitted glove 2. The two sets of straps 7 are located on both sides of the patient's wrist, and there is no tightness between them and the patient's wrist skin, so as not to cause skin damage. At the same time, the other end of the two sets of straps 7 passes through the mounting groove 6 and is tied to the bed rail. When the patient's hand moves, the first and second fitted gloves 1 and 2 will not separate under the limitation of the mounting groove 6, making the binding safer.

[0024] Working principle: First, a second fitted glove 2 is set directly below the first fitted glove 1 and the second fitted glove 2. The front ends of both the first fitted glove 1 and the second fitted glove 2 are designed to accommodate the joints of the patient's thumb and little finger. A connecting fabric 3 is placed between the first fitted glove 1 and the second fitted glove 2, and the upper and lower ends of the connecting fabric 3 are sewn to the second fitted glove 2 and the first fitted glove 1, respectively. The connecting fabric 3 is made of spandex fabric, which is soft. The first fitted glove 1 and the second fitted glove 2 can be turned up at a certain angle, allowing the patient to pass their thumb and little finger through the joints at the front ends of the first fitted glove 1 and the second fitted glove 2, respectively. The patient's other three fingers can be exposed, making it convenient for nurses to draw blood. Both the first fitted glove 1 and the second fitted glove 2 are made of breathable mesh fabric, making them more breathable and more comfortable to wear.

[0025] When in use, the Velcro patch 14 can be folded upwards and attached to the corresponding Velcro patch 25. The distance between the fitting glove 1 and the fitting glove 2 can be adjusted according to the patient's hand size, so that the fitting glove 1 and the fitting glove 2 maintain non-pressure contact with the patient's hand skin. Multiple sets of Velcro patches 14 and Velcro patches 25 work together to make the fixation more secure, while not causing a tight feeling on the patient's hand. With long-term use, the patient's skin is more comfortable and will not cause skin edema.

[0026] Furthermore, the two sets of straps 7 are located on both sides of the patient's wrist, and will not exert any tightness on the patient's wrist skin, thus preventing skin damage. At the same time, the other ends of the two sets of straps 7 pass through the mounting groove 6 and are tied to the bed railing. When the patient's hand moves, the first and second gloves 1 and 2 will not separate under the constraint of the mounting groove 6, making the binding safer.
