Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a medical restraint belt. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of clinical medical care, medical restraints are an important safety protection device, mainly used to restrict abnormal patient movements and prevent accidental injuries during treatment.

[0003] However, traditional restraint straps use a single strap structure, such as nylon restraint straps, which require caregivers to repeatedly adjust the tightness, increasing the difficulty and time required for adjustment, and resulting in insufficient fixation reliability. Conventional Velcro restraint straps are prone to displacement under continuous tension, lack an effective anti-loosening mechanism, and the Velcro is prone to failure after long-term use. The current single strap structure cannot balance restraint strength and skin protection. Excessive restraint strength can cause the restraint strap to directly contact the skin, which can easily lead to skin damage and cause patient discomfort.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a medical restraint belt that can effectively reduce the difficulty and time required for nursing staff to adjust the belt, and can avoid causing discomfort to patients. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a medical restraint belt that can effectively reduce the difficulty and time of adjustment for nursing staff and avoid causing discomfort to patients.

[0006] The medical restraint belt provided by this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A medical restraint strap includes a restraint strap, a connecting strap, and a fixing strap. The restraint strap is used to fix a patient's limb. The fixing strap has a locking hook for connecting to a hospital bed and limiting the range of motion of the restraint strap. The restraint strap includes a restraint portion and a fixing component. The restraint portion includes a buffer layer and a fixing layer. The buffer layer is disposed on the fixing layer for contact with the patient's limb. The fixing component includes a first fixing member and a second fixing member. The first fixing member and the second fixing member are disposed on the fixing layer and located on both sides of the buffer layer laterally. After the first fixing member and the second fixing member are engaged, they limit the outward expansion of the fixing layer. The connecting strap is disposed between the fixing layer and the fixing strap.

[0008] Optionally, the first fixing member is provided with a locking member, which is used to fix the second fixing member inside the first fixing member.

[0009] Optionally, the fixing layer and the connecting belt are provided with a rotating shaft so that the connecting belt can rotate relative to the fixing layer.

[0010] Optionally, the connecting strap includes a first connecting strap and a second connecting strap, which are connected by a locking assembly.

[0011] Optionally, the first connecting strip is rotatably connected to the fixed layer via a rotating shaft.

[0012] Optionally, the second connecting belt is provided with an adjusting member, which is used to adjust the length of the second connecting belt, and the second connecting belt is connected to the fixing belt.

[0013] Optionally, the buffer layer is a sponge.

[0014] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: When in use, the patient's bound limbs are placed on the buffer layer, then the fixing layer is wrapped around them and fixed by the fixing components to complete the binding of the patient's limbs. Then, the restraint strap of this utility model is fixed to the hospital bed by the locking hook to complete the binding. This reduces the difficulty and time of adjusting the straps for nursing staff and can avoid causing discomfort to the patient. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0019] This utility model discloses a medical restraint belt.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A medical restraint strap includes a binding strap, a connecting strap, and a fixing strap. The binding strap is used to fix a patient's limb. The fixing strap has a locking hook 10, which is used to connect to the bed and limit the range of movement of the binding strap. The binding strap includes a binding part and a fixing component. The binding part includes a buffer layer 2 and a fixing layer 1. The buffer layer 2 is disposed on the fixing layer 1 for contact with the patient's limb. The fixing component includes a first fixing member 3 and a second fixing member 4. The first fixing member 3 and the second fixing member 4 are disposed on the fixing layer 1 and located on both sides of the buffer layer 2 laterally. After the first fixing member 3 and the second fixing member 4 are engaged, they limit the outward expansion of the fixing layer 1. The connecting strap is disposed between the fixing layer 1 and the fixing strap. In use, the patient's bound limb is placed on the buffer layer 2, then the fixing layer 1 is wrapped and fixed by the fixing component to complete the binding of the patient's limb. Then, the binding strap is fixed to the bed by the locking hook 10. This can effectively reduce the difficulty and time of adjustment of the binding by nursing staff and can avoid causing discomfort to the patient.

[0021] In this embodiment, the restraint strap has a strip-like structure with two layers: a fixing layer 1 and a buffer layer 2. The fixing layer 1 is made of a flexible material that can be bent; in this embodiment, nylon is used. The buffer layer 2 is made of sponge, providing comfort when restraining the patient. As a soft material, sponge has good elasticity and cushioning properties, effectively dispersing the pressure of the restraint strap on the patient's skin and reducing the pressure and discomfort caused by prolonged restraint. In addition, sponge has good breathability, keeping the patient's skin surface dry and further improving patient comfort.

[0022] A locking element 8 is provided on the fixing element 3. The locking element 8 is used to fix the fixing element 4 inside the fixing element 3. In this embodiment, the locking element 8 is a lock. The fixing element 3 and the fixing element 4 adopt a structure similar to a backpack buckle. When the fixing element 4 is engaged in the fixing element 3, the lock is locked by a key, thereby locking and fixing the fixing element 4 inside the fixing element 3. Specifically, the lock includes a lock body, a rotating shaft 11 and a locking block. When the lock body is in the closed state, the locking block is pressed against the fixing element 4, so that the fixing element 4 cannot be separated from the fixing element 3. When the lock body is in the open state, the locking block is separated from the fixing element 4, and the fixing element 4 can be separated from the fixing element 3. The above structure can adopt the lock structure of the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0023] The use of locking element 8 prevents patients from easily disengaging the fixation components and also prevents others from easily opening them, thus improving safety. This is because some family members may disengage the fixation components without authorization when medical staff are not present, which could lead to medical and safety hazards. In some special circumstances, such as when the patient is emotionally agitated or uncooperative with treatment, the importance of locking element 8 is ensured.

[0024] The fixing layer 1 and the connecting strap are equipped with a rotating shaft 11, allowing the connecting strap to rotate relative to the fixing layer 1. Without the rotating shaft 11, when the patient's limb moves, the restraint strap and the connecting strap would easily become entangled or even knotted due to friction and pulling. This would not only cause discomfort to the patient but also affect the restraint strap's fixation effect and may even pose a safety hazard. With the rotating shaft 11, the fixing layer 1 and the connecting strap can rotate relative to each other. Even if the patient's limb moves, the restraint strap and the connecting strap can maintain a smooth rotational relationship without knotting or entanglement. This not only ensures the stable fixation of the restraint strap on the patient but also reduces the additional pressure and discomfort caused by knots or entanglement, avoiding the need to untangle the restraint strap in case of knots.

[0025] The connecting strap includes a first connecting strap 5 and a second connecting strap 6, which are connected by a locking assembly 7. The first connecting strap 5 is rotatably connected to the fixed layer 1 via a rotating shaft 11. An adjusting element 9 is provided on the second connecting strap 6 to adjust its length. The second connecting strap 6 is connected to the fixed strap. The adjusting element 9 uses a buckle similar to that on a backpack, and the locking assembly 7 uses a buckle structure similar to that on a backpack. The first connecting strap 5 and the second connecting strap 6 are connected by the locking assembly 7, ensuring a secure connection and allowing for quick release when needed, providing great convenience for medical staff. The adjusting element 9 on the second connecting strap 6 allows medical staff to easily adjust its length according to the patient's actual situation and needs, ensuring not only the accuracy and effectiveness of traction but also improving patient comfort.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
