Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of postoperative recovery technology, specifically to an upper limb immobilization device after breast cancer surgery. Background Technology

[0002] During the postoperative recovery period after breast surgery, including mastectomy, axillary lymph node dissection, resection of large breast tumors, resection of large axillary tumors, and breast reduction surgery, especially after axillary lymph node dissection, the affected upper limb needs to be immobilized to avoid abduction of the shoulder joint pulling on the wound and affecting the recovery of the skin flap.

[0003] Postoperative immobilization of the affected joint needs to last 7-10 days, or even longer. However, most postoperative patients, due to lack of attention or unfamiliarity with immobilization, engage in strenuous upper limb activity, which affects the healing of the axillary wound. In particular, shoulder abduction can pull on the wound, affecting the recovery of the skin flap and even causing bleeding. Current fixation methods usually involve immobilizing the patient's upper limb with an immobilizing garment or band. Because the immobilizing garment or band completely fixes the patient's upper limb, it is extremely difficult for the patient to perform any voluntary movement within the normal and controllable range of upper limb function. Even simple flexion, extension, and rotation movements are difficult to complete. Moreover, due to maintaining this completely immobilized state for a long time, the patient's local blood circulation is obstructed, and the muscles gradually stiffen due to prolonged inactivity, leading to discomfort such as soreness and numbness. This greatly reduces the patient's comfort throughout the treatment process and may even adversely affect the subsequent rehabilitation process. Utility Model Content

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model 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 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.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 4 An upper limb immobilization device after breast cancer surgery includes: a frame 1, a support plate 2, a protective door 3, a support mechanism, a limiting mechanism, and an adjustment mechanism. Two support plates 2 are provided, both of which are fixedly connected to the frame 1. Two protective doors 3 are provided, both of which are hinged to the frame 1. Through the cooperation between the frame 1, the support plate 2, the protective door 3, the support mechanism, the limiting mechanism, and the adjustment mechanism, the patient's upper limb can move within a controllable range, effectively preventing obstruction of local blood circulation in the patient's body and the gradual stiffening of muscles due to prolonged inactivity, which can lead to discomfort such as soreness and numbness, thus improving the patient's comfort.

[0037] The support mechanism is set inside the frame 1 to support the patient's body. The support mechanism includes: a main support pad 4, a secondary support pad 5, side pads 6, and a carrying strap 7. The main support pad 4, the secondary support pad 5, and the side pads 6 are all equipped with a sponge layer 15. The main support pad 4 is set inside the frame 1. There are two secondary support pads 5, which are fixedly connected to two protective doors 3 respectively. The side pads 6 are elastically connected to two support plates 2. The carrying strap 7 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. Specifically, the main support pad 4, the secondary support pad 5, and the side pads 6 support the patient's body by wrapping around it. The carrying strap 7 carries the frame 1 on the patient's shoulders, thereby preventing the frame 1 from falling down when the patient stands.

[0038] Both support plates 2 are equipped with limiting mechanisms to restrict the patient's upper limbs. The limiting mechanisms include a sliding plate 8 and a limiting ring 9. Two sliding rods 13 are fixedly connected to the support plate 2 and the frame 1. Each sliding rod 13 is slidably connected to a movable ring 14. The sliding plate 8 is fixedly connected between the two movable rings 14 and slidably connected between the support plate 2 and the frame 1. The limiting ring 9 is rotatably connected to one side of the sliding plate 8. Specifically, the patient's upper limb passes through the limiting ring 9, which restricts the upper limb. The patient's upper limb rotates on the sliding plate 8 and slides on the sliding rods 13, thereby restricting the patient's upper limb to perform adaptive activities within a controllable range.

[0039] The system includes two adjustment mechanisms, both mounted on the frame 1. Each adjustment mechanism corresponds to one of the two limiting mechanisms. Each adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment screw 10, a contact plate 11, and a drive wheel 12. The frame 1 has a screw hole, and the adjustment screw 10 is threaded into the screw hole. The contact plate 11 is rotatably connected to one end of the adjustment screw 10, and the drive wheel 12 is fixedly connected to the other end of the adjustment screw 10. Specifically, by twisting the drive wheel 12, the adjustment screw 10 is rotated, thereby adjusting the position of the contact plate 11 and limiting the sliding distance of the slide plate 8.

[0040] In summary, when using this breast cancer postoperative upper limb immobilization device, the protective door 3 is opened, the frame 1 is placed over the patient's body, and then both protective doors 3 are closed. The main support pad 4, the secondary support pad 5, and the side pads 6 are used to support the patient's body around a circle. The frame 1 is carried on the shoulders by the shoulder strap 7 to prevent the frame 1 from falling down when the patient stands. Then, the patient's upper limb passes through the limiting ring 9, which limits the upper limb. The upper limb rotates on the slide plate 8 through the limiting ring 9, and the slide plate 8 slides on the slide rod 13, thereby limiting the patient's upper limb to perform adaptive movements within a controllable range. By twisting the drive wheel 12, the adjusting screw 10 is rotated, thereby adjusting the position of the contact plate 11, thus limiting the sliding distance of the slide plate 8.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
