[0025] Example 1
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 3 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0027] A disposable bed sheet for easy patient transport includes a medical bed sheet body 1. To ensure complete coverage, the medical bed sheet body 1 must be slightly larger than the operating table, with a width of 80cm and a length of 200cm. Elastic bands 6 are provided along the edges of the medical bed sheet body, allowing it to be directly slipped onto the operating table during use. The medical bed sheet body 1 has a multi-layer composite structure, including a surface layer 8 that contacts the patient's skin, an intermediate absorbent layer, and a bottom support layer 11. The surface layer 8 is made of meltblown nonwoven fabric, which is soft and delicate, minimizing friction with the skin and causing no discomfort upon contact. The intermediate absorbent layer includes an absorbent layer 9 and a waterproof layer 10 located below the absorbent layer. In this embodiment, the absorbent layer 9 is made of natural wood pulp fiber, which can quickly absorb postoperative exudate and lock in moisture, reducing body fluid buildup. To prevent the spread of liquid and contamination of other areas, the waterproof layer 10 is a polyethylene film attached to the absorbent layer 9, which is completely waterproof and prevents bodily fluids or intraoperative medications from penetrating into the mattress. The bottom support layer 11 is made of nylon fabric, which has high tensile strength and will not break when bearing heavy weight. Its breathability can also be improved through weaving techniques. The two sides of the bottom support layer 11 extend outward to form side curtains 2. The side curtains 2 are provided with handle holes 4 for medical staff to pull. The width of the side curtains 2 is 30cm and the length is 55cm. The length from the top edge of the side curtains 2 to the top edge of the medical bed sheet body 1 is 60cm. The side curtains 2 are positioned precisely at the waist center of gravity when the human body is lying down, which can ensure the stability of the patient during transportation and prevent the patient from tilting forward or backward due to instability.
[0028] When using this disposable sheet, it is first laid on the operating table. When the patient needs to be transferred to the transport bed after surgery, medical staff can stand on both sides of the operating table, holding the handle through hole 4 with one hand, and gently lifting the patient's back with the other hand to lift the patient, along with the disposable sheet, from the operating table onto the transport bed. When lifting upwards, because the side curtain 2 is located at the patient's waist center of gravity and is made of soft material, it can softly wrap and fix the patient's waist, reducing secondary injuries caused by displacement during transport. This disposable sheet has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and is suitable for fast-paced scenarios with high usage, such as operating rooms, emergency rooms, ICUs, and wards.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 3 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0031] A disposable bed sheet for easy patient transport includes a medical bed sheet body 1. To ensure complete coverage, the medical bed sheet body 1 must be slightly larger than the operating table, with a width of 90cm and a length of 210cm. Elastic bands 6 are provided along the edges of the medical bed sheet body, allowing it to be directly slipped onto the operating table during use. The medical bed sheet body 1 has a multi-layer composite structure, including a surface layer 8 that contacts the patient's skin, an intermediate absorbent layer, and a bottom support layer 11. The surface layer 8 is made of meltblown nonwoven fabric, which is soft and delicate, minimizing friction with the skin and causing no discomfort upon contact. The intermediate absorbent layer includes an absorbent layer 9 and a waterproof layer 10 located below the absorbent layer 9. Unlike Example 1, in this example, the absorbent layer 9 is made of superabsorbent polymer resin, which has rapid absorbency and a much higher absorbency than natural wood pulp fiber, capable of... For scenarios with large amounts of fluid leakage (such as postoperative bleeding), the waterproof layer is a polyethylene film, which is attached to the absorbent layer 10 to completely prevent water from seeping into the mattress, thus blocking bodily fluids or intraoperative medications. The bottom support layer 11 is made of nylon fabric, which has high tensile strength and will not break when bearing heavy weight. Its breathability can also be improved through weaving techniques. The two sides of the bottom support layer 11 extend outward to form side curtains 2, which are provided with handle holes 4 for medical staff to pull. The side curtains 2 are 35cm wide and 65cm long, and the distance from the top edge of the side curtains 2 to the top edge of the medical bed sheet body 1 is 70cm. The side curtains 2 are positioned precisely at the lumbar center of gravity when the patient is lying down, which can ensure the stability of the patient during transport and prevent the patient from tipping forward or backward due to instability.
[0032] When using this disposable sheet, it is first laid on the operating table. When the patient needs to be transferred to the transport bed after the operation, medical staff can stand on both sides of the operating table. If the patient is obese, two handle holes 4 can be set. The left and right sides are used to hold the handle holes 4 with both hands. The front part is then lifted by the medical staff to lift the patient's back and lift the patient along with the disposable sheet from the operating table to the transport bed. When lifting upwards, since the side curtain 2 is located at the center of gravity of the patient's waist and is made of soft material, it can softly wrap and fix the patient's waist, reducing secondary injuries caused by the patient's displacement during transportation.
[0033] Example 3
[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 3 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0035] A disposable bed sheet for easy patient transport includes a medical bed sheet body 1. To ensure complete coverage, the medical bed sheet body 1 must be slightly larger than the operating table, with a width of 85cm and a length of 205cm. Elastic bands 6 are provided along the edges of the medical bed sheet body, allowing it to be directly slipped onto the operating table during use. The medical bed sheet body 1 has a multi-layer composite structure, including a surface layer 8 that contacts the patient's skin, an intermediate absorbent layer, and a bottom support layer 11. The surface layer is made of meltblown nonwoven fabric, which is soft and delicate, minimizing friction with the skin and causing no discomfort upon contact. The intermediate absorbent layer includes an absorbent layer 9 and a waterproof layer 10 located below the absorbent layer. In this embodiment, the absorbent layer 9 is made of natural wood pulp fiber, which can quickly absorb postoperative exudate and lock in moisture, reducing fluid loss. To prevent the spread of contamination to other areas, the waterproof layer 10 is a polyethylene film, which is attached to the absorbent layer 10 and can completely waterproof and prevent bodily fluids or intraoperative medications from penetrating into the mattress. The bottom support layer 11 is made of nylon fabric, which has high tensile strength and will not break when bearing heavy weight. Its breathability can also be improved through weaving techniques. The two sides of the bottom support layer 11 extend outward to form side curtains 2. The side curtains 2 are provided with handle holes 4 for medical staff to pull. The width of the side curtains 2 is 33cm and the length is 60cm. The length from the top edge of the side curtains 2 to the top edge of the medical bed sheet body 1 is 65cm. The position of the side curtains 2 is exactly at the waist center of gravity when the human body is lying down, which can ensure the stability of the patient during transportation and prevent the patient from tilting forward or backward due to instability.
[0036] When using this disposable sheet, first lay it on the operating table. When the patient needs to be transferred to the transport bed after the operation, the medical staff can stand on both sides of the operating table, hold the handle hole 4 with one hand, and gently lift the patient's back with the other hand to lift the patient and the disposable sheet from the operating table to the transport bed. When lifting upwards, since the side curtain 2 is located at the center of gravity of the patient's waist and is made of soft material, it can softly wrap and fix the patient's waist, reducing secondary injuries caused by the patient's displacement during transportation.
[0037] Furthermore, the medical bed sheet body has a binding strap 3 on the upper limb part of the patient. The binding strap 3 is relatively deep. After the operation, the patient's upper limb can be placed in the binding strap 3 to fix the patient's upper limb and avoid displacement of the patient's upper limb during transportation. At the same time, a buckle 5 can be set on the outside of the binding strap 3 to further improve its fixation strength.
[0038] Example 4
[0039] Unlike Example 1, this example also has a tear 7 on the medical sheet body. The tear 7 is located 30-40cm away from the upper and lower edges of the medical sheet body. When performing lower limb trauma surgery and requiring extensive iodine disinfection, the medical sheet body is easily soaked due to its limited liquid absorption capacity. Residual body fluids and medications can contaminate the surgical environment. To avoid this, medical staff can quickly tear off the contaminated area at the tear 7 to reduce the risk of infection.
[0040] 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, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention, and no reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
