Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical assistive device technology, and more specifically, to a multifunctional turning mat for preventing pressure injuries. Background Technology

[0002] Pressure injury is a common complication in patients who are bedridden for extended periods. It occurs due to ischemia and necrosis of local tissues caused by continuous pressure, and often happens at bony prominences. Turning mats are routine auxiliary tools used in clinical nursing to prevent pressure injuries, primarily by reducing prolonged pressure on local tissues by changing the patient's position. Traditional turning mats often use sponge, gel, or inflatable structures, and are designed in wedge or strip shapes to physically support and fix the patient in a lateral position. The materials prioritize a balance between softness and support, but their function is limited to passively filling gaps in the bed surface.

[0003] Turning mats lack protection against pressure injuries to various parts of the body and cannot automatically adjust the support angle according to the patient's body pressure distribution, resulting in pressure dispersion effects that rely on experience. At the same time, turning operations still require manual assistance, which is time-consuming and difficult to control the force precisely. They are not suitable for obese or postoperative patients, and in actual use, inconvenience in operation often leads to inadequate implementation of preventive measures.

[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed a multifunctional turning mat to prevent pressure injuries. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned utility model objectives, this utility model provides a multifunctional turning mat for preventing pressure injuries, thereby improving the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] The application is as follows:

[0007] Includes the main body of the turning mat, which has two parallel recesses for placing the legs;

[0008] The curved part is provided on the main body of the turning mat, forming an arc surface that is easy to flip to both sides on the contact surface with the bed. The arc is asymmetrical, making it easy for the main body of the turning mat to flip to one side.

[0009] The flat part is located on both sides of the main body of the turning mat, and forms a supporting surface with the bed when the legs are in the same vertical line;

[0010] The raised portion is formed by carving out two recesses from the main body of the turning pad, creating a raised area located between the legs;

[0011] The first water bladder is symmetrically arranged in the inner cavities on both sides of the main body of the turning pad;

[0012] A connecting pipe connects the first water bladders on both sides;

[0013] The secondary pipe, when the first water bladder is squeezed by the leg, guides the water flow from the connecting pipe to the protrusion;

[0014] A baffle plate is installed at the connection between the secondary pipe and the connecting pipe to facilitate the flow of water towards the secondary pipe;

[0015] The second water bladder receives the water flow from the secondary pipe and forms an elastic support within the protrusion.

[0016] Preferably, the arc bend of the connecting pipe is concentric with the arc portion, and the arc bend axis coincides with the curvature center of the arc portion, so that the water flow path direction and the turning direction of the main body of the turning pad form a coordinated guide.

[0017] Preferably, the volume of the first water bladder on the lower level side is twice the volume of the first water bladder on the higher level side. When the height difference between the bottom surfaces of the two water bladders is generated, the water flow in the connecting pipe forms a gravity-driven water flow, causing the main body of the turning pad to rotate.

[0018] Preferably, the water flow path of the connecting pipe is an arc-shaped bend that fits the arc-shaped part.

[0019] Preferably, the guide plate has a notch that covers at least half of the water passage cross section of the connecting pipe.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] In the scheme of this application:

[0022] To address the problem of existing technologies failing to prevent pressure injuries in multiple directions during patient turning, this application incorporates multiple water bladders located within the main body of the turning pad. During the turning process, the pad facilitates patient turning by transferring water weight, while simultaneously preventing pressure injuries between the legs after the patient's turning motion, thus making the turning pad more effective.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0029] For an example, please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A multi-functional turning mat for preventing pressure injuries, comprising:

[0030] The main body of the turning mat 1 has two parallel recesses for placing the legs;

[0031] The arc-shaped part 2 is provided on the main body of the turning mat 1 to form an arc surface that is easy to flip to both sides on the contact surface with the bed. The arc is asymmetrical, making it easy for the main body of the turning mat 1 to flip to one side.

[0032] The flat part 3 is set on both sides of the main body 1 of the turning mat, and forms a supporting surface with the bed when the legs are in the same vertical line;

[0033] The protrusion 4 is formed by carving out two recesses from the main body 1 of the turning mat, creating a protrusion located between the legs;

[0034] The first water bladder 5 is symmetrically arranged in the inner cavity on both sides of the main body 1 of the turning pad;

[0035] Connecting pipe 6 connects the first water bladders 5 on both sides;

[0036] When the first water bladder 5 is squeezed by the leg, the water in the secondary pipe 7 flows to the protrusion 4 through the guide pipe 6.

[0037] A guide plate 71 is installed at the connection between the secondary pipe 7 and the connecting pipe 6 to facilitate the flow of water towards the secondary pipe 7.

[0038] The second water bladder 8 receives the water flow from the secondary pipe 7 and forms an elastic support within the protrusion 4;

[0039] First, the arc-shaped part 2 of the main body 1 of the turning mat is semi-cylindrical, and due to the asymmetry of the arc, the main body 1 of the turning mat is easy to move in the direction of the contracting arc, making it easy for the main body 1 of the turning mat to deflect to one side, making it easier for the assistant to use.

[0040] At the same time, under normal conditions, a U-shaped tube structure is formed between the connecting pipe 6 and the first water bladder 5. As the water flows under the flipping action of the arc part 2, the water tends to flow into the larger first water bladder 5. This makes the force-bearing end lighter and the center of gravity shifts to the bottom, allowing the main body of the turning pad 1 to be able to flip around the heavier first water bladder 5 as the rotation point. At this time, the water flows completely into one of the first water bladders 5.

[0041] When the patient completes the turning motion, both legs are in a vertical stacked position, and the pressure is transmitted from the top leg to the protrusion 4 and then to the second leg, finally reaching the bottom first water bladder 5. This results in excessive pressure on the bottom leg, making it impossible for the patient to maintain the side-lying position. When the pressure reaches the first water bladder 5, the water in the first water bladder 5 is transmitted upward by pressure and moves to the second water bladder 8 under the action of the guide plate 71. However, due to the bending state of the connecting pipe 6, the effect of gravity, and the interception effect of the guide plate 71, the water flow is difficult to reach the top first water bladder 5.

[0042] Ultimately, this results in the second water bladder 8 creating a small buffer zone between the protrusions 4, which helps prevent pressure injuries caused by gravity between the legs.

[0043] The arc bend of the connecting pipe 6 is concentric with the arc part 2, and the arc bend axis coincides with the curvature center of the arc part 2, so that the water flow path direction and the turning pad body 1 are coordinated and guided.

[0044] The flow of water reduces the weight of the load-bearing end of the turning mat body 1, while the center of gravity of the support point plane part 3 becomes more stable, making the turning action easier to perform.

[0045] The volume of the first water bladder 5 on the lower level side is twice that of the first water bladder 5 on the higher level side. When the height difference between the bottom surfaces of the two water bladders is generated, the water flow in the connecting pipe 6 forms a gravity-driven water flow, causing the turning pad body 1 to generate a turning angle.

[0046] The water flow path of the connecting pipe 6 is an arc bend that fits the arc-shaped part 2.

[0047] A notch is provided on the guide plate 71, which covers at least half of the water passage section of the connecting pipe 6.

[0048] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
