Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surgical positioning pad technology, specifically an inflatable adjustable head and neck surgical positioning pad. Background Technology
[0002] A surgical positioning pad is a medical device placed on the operating table in the operating room. It can effectively relieve pressure sores caused by prolonged surgery. Different positioning pads can be used depending on the surgical position and the patient's location.
[0003] Traditional positioning pads for head and neck surgeries are mostly made of foam or sponge with a fixed shape and size. Sometimes, the height of the positioning pad needs to be adjusted according to the progress of the surgery or the patient's actual condition. However, since the height of traditional positioning pads is fixed, adjusting the height often requires changing to a different size positioning pad, which is cumbersome, time-consuming, and may also increase the risk of surgical infection. Therefore, an inflatable adjustable positioning pad for head and neck surgeries is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an inflatable adjustable head and neck surgical positioning pad to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an inflatable adjustable head and neck surgical positioning pad, including a shoulder air pad, a connecting plate fixed to one side of the shoulder air pad, a neck air pad for assisting head and neck surgery fixed to the top of the connecting plate, and a head air pad fixed to the end of the connecting plate away from the shoulder air pad.
[0006] The shoulder air cushion, neck air cushion and head air cushion are each fixed with a first air tube on one side, and an inflation / deflation assembly for inflation is provided on one side of the first air tube.
[0007] The inflation / deflation assembly includes a fixing frame, the fixing frame having a sliding groove inside, the inner wall of the sliding groove having an insertion groove, and a sealing ring being adhered to the inner wall of the insertion groove;
[0008] A push plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the insertion groove. A sliding plate located inside the groove is fixed to one side of the push plate, and a sealing gasket is adhered to one side of the sliding plate.
[0009] Preferably, the shoulder air cushion has a first air storage chamber inside, the neck air cushion has a second air storage chamber inside, and the head air cushion has a third air storage chamber inside.
[0010] Preferably, the interiors of the first air storage chamber, the second air storage chamber, and the third air storage chamber are all connected to one end of the first air pipe, and the other end of the first air pipe is sealed to the fixing frame.
[0011] Preferably, the fixed frame is fixed with a guide frame at the end away from the first air pipe, and a spring is connected between one side of the slide plate and the inner wall of the slide groove.
[0012] Preferably, as described above, a connecting tube is inserted into the inner side of the insertion slot, one end of the connecting tube is connected to a second air pipe, and an air pump is provided on one side of the second air pipe.
[0013] Preferably, the air outlet of the air pump is connected to the air inlet of the second air pipe.
[0014] Preferably, the connecting tube is fixed to a limit block on the outside, and when one side of the connecting tube contacts the push plate, the shoulder air cushion, neck air cushion and head air cushion are in a height adjustment state.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention, by adopting the above technical solution, has the following technical effects:

[0029] Example
[0030] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: an inflatable adjustable head and neck surgical positioning pad, including a shoulder air pad 1, a connecting plate 4 fixed to one side of the shoulder air pad 1, the connecting plate 4 serving to connect and fix each air pad, making the entire positioning pad structure stable, a neck air pad 2 for assisting head and neck surgery fixed to the top of the connecting plate 4, and a head air pad 3 fixed to the end of the connecting plate 4 away from the shoulder air pad 1; the shoulder air pad 1, neck air pad 2 and head air pad 3 are for single use, the shoulder air pad 1, neck air pad 2 and head air pad 3 are made of plastic, and are disposed of as medical waste after use.
[0031] The shoulder air cushion 1, neck air cushion 2 and head air cushion 3 are each fixed with a first air tube 5 on one side, and an inflation / deflation assembly 6 for inflation is provided on one side of the first air tube 5; the inflation time and inflation volume of the air pump 9 are controlled to adjust the height of each air cushion to ensure that the patient's head and neck are in the most suitable surgical position.
[0032] The inflation / deflation assembly 6 includes a fixed frame 61, with a sliding groove 67 inside the fixed frame 61. The inner wall of the sliding groove 67 has an insertion groove 65, and a sealing ring 64 is bonded to the inner wall of the insertion groove 65. A guide frame 63 is fixed to the end of the fixed frame 61 away from the first air tube 5. A spring 68 is connected between one side of the sliding plate 66 and the inner wall of the sliding groove 67. Medical staff can visually judge the inflation progress by observing the degree of inflation of the air cushion, which makes it easy to control the inflation pump 9 to stop inflation in time and avoid over-inflation or under-inflation.
[0033] A push plate 62 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the insertion groove 65. A slide plate 66 located inside the slide groove 67 is fixed to one side of the push plate 62. A sealing gasket 69 is adhered to one side of the slide plate 66. The sealing ring 64 on the inner wall of the insertion groove 65 is tightly fitted to the connecting pipe 7, and the sealing gasket 69 on the side of the slide plate 66 is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the slide groove 67 when not inflated. The double sealing design effectively prevents gas leakage. The double sealing is that the sealing ring 64 is fitted to the connecting pipe 7, and the sealing gasket 69 seals two places in the slide groove 67.
[0034] The shoulder air cushion 1 has a first air storage chamber 11, the neck air cushion 2 has a second air storage chamber 21, and the head air cushion 3 has a third air storage chamber 31. The interiors of the first air storage chamber 11, the second air storage chamber 21, and the third air storage chamber 31 are all connected to one end of the first trachea 5. The other end of the first trachea 5 is sealed to the fixation frame 61. Medical staff can independently adjust the inflation of the shoulder air cushion 1, the neck air cushion 2, and the head air cushion 3 according to the patient's specific condition, creating a highly personalized surgical position for the patient and improving the accuracy and safety of the surgical operation.
[0035] A connecting tube 7 is inserted into the inner side of the insertion slot 65. One end of the connecting tube 7 is connected to a second air tube 8. An air pump 9 is provided on one side of the second air tube 8. The air outlet of the air pump 9 is connected to the air inlet of the second air tube 8. A limit block is fixed on the outside of the connecting tube 7 to limit the insertion depth of the connecting tube 7. When one side of the connecting tube 7 contacts the push plate 62, the push plate 62 is cross-shaped. After the push plate 62 contacts the connecting tube 7, gas enters the inside of the air cushion from the gap between the connections. The shoulder air cushion 1, neck air cushion 2, and head air cushion 3 are in the height adjustment state. Medical staff only need to insert the connecting tube 7 into the insertion slot 65 of the inflation / deflation assembly 6. When inserting the connecting tube 7, medical staff need to manually apply external force to prevent the connecting tube 7 from coming out, which opens the channel between the first air tube 5 and the connecting tube 7, and realizes the inflation adjustment of each air cushion. After the connecting tube 7 is pulled out, the gas channel is automatically closed under the action of the spring 68. The operation process is simple and intuitive, and no complicated training is required to get started, which greatly improves work efficiency.
[0036] In this embodiment, the air pump 9 is a YW29 model manufactured by Changzhou Yuanwang Fluid Technology Co., Ltd. Since the structure and operating principle of this model of air pump 9 are existing technologies, its structure and operating principle will not be described in detail here.
[0037] Working principle: The shoulder air cushion 1, neck air cushion 2, and head air cushion 3 correspond to the support positions of the patient's shoulder, neck, and head during surgery, respectively. Their height and shape are adjusted by inflation and deflation to adapt to the surgical positioning needs of different patients. The connecting plate 4 connects and fixes the air cushions, making the entire positioning pad structure stable. The first air tube 5 is used to connect the air cushions to the inflation and deflation assembly 6 to realize gas delivery.
[0038] When not being inflated, the first air storage chamber 11, the second air storage chamber 21, and the third air storage chamber 31 inside the shoulder air cushion 1, neck air cushion 2, and head air cushion 3 contain little or no gas, and the air cushion height is low. At this time, under the elastic force of the spring 68, the push plate 62 in the inflation / deflation assembly 6 makes the sealing gasket 69 on one side of the slide plate 66 fit tightly against the inner wall of the slide groove 67 to prevent gas leakage.
[0039] Insert the connecting tube 7 into the insertion slot 65 of the inflation / deflation assembly 6. The sealing ring 64 on the inner wall of the insertion slot 65 fits tightly against the connecting tube 7 to ensure a tight seal at the connection. As the connecting tube 7 is inserted, one end of the connecting tube 7 will contact the push plate 62 and push the push plate 62 and the slide plate 66 to slide in the slide groove 67, while compressing the spring 68. At this time, the channel between the first air pipe 5 and the connecting tube 7 is opened, and the height is adjusted.
[0040] Start the air pump 9. The air pump 9 delivers gas through its outlet to the second air tube 8, and then through the connecting tube 7 and the first air tube 5 into the first air storage chamber 11 of the shoulder air cushion 1, the second air storage chamber 21 of the neck air cushion 2, and the third air storage chamber 31 of the head air cushion 3, respectively. As the gas is continuously filled, each air cushion gradually expands and increases in height. Medical staff can adjust the height and shape of each air cushion by controlling the inflation time and inflation volume of the air pump 9 according to the needs of the operation, so that the patient's head and neck are in the most suitable surgical position. After inflation is completed, the connecting tube 7 can be removed.
[0041] When the surgery is over or the height of the air cushion needs to be adjusted, the air can be deflated. Simply insert a thin, long tool commonly found in operating rooms into the insertion slot 65 and push the push plate 62. The push plate 62 pushes the sealing pad 69 on one side of the slide plate 66 away from the inner wall of the slide groove 67. The gas in each air cushion can be slowly discharged through the first air tube 5 and then through the gap between the sealing pad 69 and the slide groove 67, and the height of the air cushion gradually decreases.
[0042] In summary, by adjusting the inflation and deflation of the shoulder air cushion 1, neck air cushion 2, and head air cushion 3 respectively, it is possible to adapt to the physical characteristics and surgical needs of each patient, provide patients with more comfortable and stable support, reduce body movement caused by discomfort during surgery, reduce surgical risks, and improve the success rate of surgery.
[0043] The deflation operation is simple and easy to perform when the surgery is over or when the height of the air cushion needs to be adjusted. By inserting a thin tool commonly found in the operating room into the insertion slot 65 and pushing the push plate 62, the sealing pad 69 is moved away from the inner wall of the slide groove 67. This allows the gas in the air cushion to be slowly discharged through the gap between the sealing pad 69 and the slide groove 67, thereby reducing the height of the air cushion and making it easy to adjust flexibly according to the actual situation.
