Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a traction tool for the lower limbs of patients. Background Technology

[0002] Lower limb traction is commonly used in orthopedic departments and also in neurology departments, due to the large number of elderly patients. When patients require lower limb traction, medical traction belts are used. After the medical traction belt is worn on the patient's lower limb, a weight is applied to achieve a traction effect. However, when using a traction belt to traction the patient's lower limb, the patient's foot is exposed to the outside, so the foot cannot remain upright. Prolonged traction may lead to foot drop. Moreover, because the foot is exposed to the outside during traction, the heel may rub against the mattress during prolonged traction, leading to pressure sores. Based on this, we propose a traction tool that can easily protect the patient's lower limb and keep the foot upright during traction. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0015] 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.

[0016] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides the following technical solution: a lower limb traction tool for patients, including a protective sleeve 1. The protective sleeve 1 is divided into a foot area 101, an ankle area 102, and a leg area 103. The foot area 101, ankle area 102, and leg area 103 are an integral structure. The top of the foot area 101 is provided with an opening, which allows the patient's toes to be exposed, facilitating observation of the blood supply to the toes during care. An opening 104 is provided on the surface of the protective sleeve 1, exposing the patient's dorsum of the foot to the anterior tibia. A first strap 2 is sewn onto one side of the leg area 103, and a second strap 3 is sewn onto one side of the ankle area 102. A third strap 4 is sewn onto the side of the foot area 101. The first strap 2 is located at the opening 104 at the front of the shin, and the third strap 4 is located at the opening 104 at the instep. A foot support pad 5 for supporting the sole of the foot is installed inside the protective sleeve 1. The foot support pad 5 is installed on the foot area 101 and the ankle area 102. A protective pad 6 is installed at the heel of the foot support pad 5. A traction strap 13 is sewn onto the side of the leg area 103. One end of the traction strap 13 extends to the back of the foot area 101 and a traction rod 14 is installed in the middle. A traction hook 15 is installed on the side of the traction rod 14. The traction strap 13 and the traction hook 15 are used to facilitate traction of the patient's lower limbs.

[0017] In this embodiment, a first hook and loop fastener 7 is sewn to the bottom of the leg area 103, a second hook and loop fastener 8 is sewn to the bottom of the ankle area 102, a third hook and loop fastener 9 is sewn to the sole of the foot area 101, a fourth hook and loop fastener 10 is sewn to the end of the first strap 2, a fifth hook and loop fastener 11 is sewn to the end of the second strap 3, and a sixth hook and loop fastener 12 is sewn to the end of the third strap 4.

[0018] Specifically, the protective sleeve 1 is worn on the patient's lower limb so that the patient's sole fits against the foot support pad 5. The opening 104 allows patients with different leg sizes to easily and quickly put on the protective sleeve 1. The first strap 2 and the third strap 4, along with the first hook and loop fastener 7, the third hook and loop fastener 9, the fourth hook and loop fastener 10, and the sixth hook and loop fastener 12, secure the protective sleeve 1 to the patient's lower limb. The fifth hook and loop fastener 11 at the end of the second strap 3 is then attached to the second hook and loop fastener 8 to fix the patient's ankle. This method not only ensures that the protective sleeve 1 is stably worn on the patient's lower limb, but also keeps the patient's foot upright through the foot support pad 5, thus preventing the patient's foot from drooping for a long time during traction. The protective pad 6 effectively prevents friction on the patient's heel during traction, further reducing the risk of foot injury caused by friction.

[0019] In this embodiment, the foot support pad 5 is divided into a foot pad 501 and an ankle pad 502. The foot support pad 5 is made of a rigid board and is an integral structure. The foot pad 501 and the ankle pad 502 are respectively bonded to the foot area 101 and the ankle area 102 by adhesive bonding.

[0020] Specifically, after the protective sleeve 1 is put on the patient's lower limbs, the patient's soles are pressed tightly against the foot pad 501. At this time, the patient's ankles are fixed by the second strap 3 and the third strap 4. The foot support pad 5 is made of hard board and has an integrated structure, so the patient's feet can remain upright during traction, thereby avoiding foot drop caused by prolonged traction.

[0021] In this embodiment, the protective cover 1 is made of cotton fabric and the thickness of the protective cover 1 is 0.3cm-0.8cm.

[0022] Specifically, this method not only improves the comfort of patients wearing the traction device, but also the cotton fabric has good breathability.

[0023] In this embodiment, the protective pad 6 includes, but is not limited to, silicone pads and sponge pads.

[0024] Specifically, this method can effectively prevent the patient's heel from being damaged by friction during prolonged traction.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
