Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of midwifery technology, specifically a medical midwifery device that promotes natural childbirth. Background Technology

[0002] Natural childbirth is a method of delivery. Delivery refers to the process from the onset of labor until the fetus and its appendages are completely expelled from the mother's body at 28 weeks of gestation or later. Delivery between 28 and 37 weeks of gestation is called premature birth; delivery between 37 and 42 weeks of gestation is called full-term birth; and delivery at 42 weeks or later is called post-term birth. Factors determining delivery include uterine contractions, the birth canal, the fetus, and psychological factors. If all factors are normal and mutually compatible, the fetus can be successfully delivered naturally through the vagina, which is considered a normal delivery. Normal delivery relies on uterine contractions to expel the fetus, requiring a sufficiently large bony and soft birth canal to expand for passage. Uterine contractions are influenced by fetal size, position, and the birth canal. Furthermore, psychological factors also play a role.

[0003] A medical midwifery device for promoting natural childbirth, with publication number CN216824019U, includes a fixed platform, an ergonomic bed, a second fixed platform, a reclining birthing structure, and a midwifery structure. The ergonomic bed is mounted on the first fixed platform, the second fixed platform on the second ergonomic bed, the reclining birthing structure on the ergonomic bed, and the midwifery structure on the ergonomic bed. The reclining birthing structure includes a handle, a pillow, a leg rest slot, a foot pedal, a connecting block, and a Velcro fastening surface. The handle, pillow, leg rest slot, and foot pedal are all located on the leg rest slot. This utility model belongs to the technical field of medical midwifery equipment, specifically referring to a medical midwifery device for promoting natural childbirth, effectively solving the problems of current medical midwifery devices on the market that easily injure the fetus and cause infection to the mother. However, existing devices still have shortcomings. They are inadequate in promoting natural childbirth. During contractions, discomfort and pubic symphysis pain occur in the lower back and legs, and the abdominal muscles become tense. Existing devices lack a relief mechanism for these symptoms. Furthermore, existing devices lack a protective mechanism when relaxing the lower back and legs, and are prone to tipping over during relaxation, affecting the user's safety. Therefore, we propose a medical midwifery device to promote natural childbirth and solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a medical midwifery device for promoting natural childbirth, including a midwifery bed 1, a midwifery mechanism 2 provided on the surface of the midwifery bed 1, the midwifery mechanism 2 including a support block 210, the support block 210 fixed on the surface of the midwifery bed 1, a rubber block 220 fixed on the surface of the midwifery bed 1, a handrail 230 provided on the surface of the midwifery bed 1, a fixing block 240 fixed at the bottom end of the midwifery bed 1, a buffer pad 250 fixed on the surface of the fixing block 240, and a birthing ball 260 provided on the surface of the fixing block 240;

[0023] Rubber blocks 220 are evenly fixed at equal intervals on the surface of the delivery bed 1. The rubber blocks 220 have a strip-shaped structure, which can prevent the patient from sliding when lying on the surface of the delivery bed 1 and increase friction. The delivery bed 1 has a through hole inside, which is located above the delivery ball 260, so that the support rods on both sides of the through hole can protect the pregnant woman and prevent her from tipping over when moving. The support block 210 is fixed to the surface of the delivery bed 1. The support block 210 has an arc-shaped structure, which allows the head to rest on the support block 210. The support block 210 can provide rigid support for the head and neck, making the head more comfortable.

[0024] The handrail 230 is set on the side of the delivery bed 1. The handrail 230 is connected to the delivery bed 1 through bearings, so that the handrail 230 can rotate, making it more flexible for pregnant women to hold the handrail 230.

[0025] The fixing block 240 has an arc-shaped groove inside, and the birthing ball 260 is placed inside the arc-shaped groove to limit the birthing ball 260 and prevent it from rolling. The cushioning pad 250 is fixed to the surface of the fixing block 240. The cushioning pad 250 is made of sponge material to improve the comfort when in contact with the pregnant woman, and at the same time, it has a protective effect so that the pregnant woman will not be injured when she comes into contact with the fixing block 240.

[0026] Working principle: When the device is in operation, the patient lies on the birthing bed 1. When relaxation and decompression are needed, she sits on the surface of the birthing ball 260 through the through hole of the birthing bed 1. The birthing ball 260 is a ball made of elastic PVC material, allowing the mother to sit on the ball and make various movements to accelerate the labor process. Sitting on the birthing ball 260 is more conducive to pelvic opening, making vaginal delivery smoother. Moreover, since the mother suffers from contractions and other pains, crawling, sitting, or lying on the birthing ball 260 can avoid the discomfort of lying in bed, relieve pain, and relax the mind and body. The support rods on the edge of the through hole of the birthing bed 1 can provide protection for the pregnant woman when she moves, preventing her from tilting and falling due to excessive movement. The above is the complete working principle of this utility model.

[0027] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
