Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a prone position mat. Background Technology

[0002] A prone positioning mat is an auxiliary device used to support the human body in a comfortable and stable prone position. It is widely used in medical, rehabilitation, massage, and rest settings. Especially in the medical field, prone positioning mats are essential for patients who need to maintain a prone position for extended periods, such as those who have undergone retinal detachment surgery. Retinal detachment surgery often involves vitrectomy and gas or silicone oil tamponade, with silicone oil tamponade being widely used in treating complex retinal detachment cases. However, postoperatively, patients need to maintain a specific prone position for a prolonged period, such as face down or a lateral decubitus position at a specific angle, to prevent aqueous humor from contacting the surgical area and affecting retinal reattachment. In this situation, a prone positioning mat provides necessary support, helping patients maintain the correct posture and promoting postoperative recovery.

[0003] However, existing prone positioning mats can only provide basic support and cannot meet the special needs of patients to maintain a prone position for a long time after surgery. Prolonged use of existing prone positioning mats can easily cause various discomforts for patients, such as pressure sores on the skin, chest tightness, and abdominal compression, making it difficult for patients to maintain the correct position for a long time, thus affecting the postoperative recovery.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a prone position mat to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a prone position mat, including a mat body 1, an inflation device 2, and a connecting tube 3.

[0040] The mat body 1 is for a person to lie prone. The mat body 1 is provided with an air inlet 11, which is connected to the interior of the mat body 1. The inflation device 2 includes a first interface 21 and an adjustment switch 22, which is configured to control the gas flow rate of the inflation device 2 during inflation. A connecting pipe 3 connects the air inlet 11 and the first interface 21, allowing the inflation device 2 to inflate the interior of the mat body 1 through the connecting pipe 3.

[0041] In practical use, place the mat body 1 on the bed, install the connecting tube 3 between the inflation port 11 and the first interface 21, and after installation, turn on the inflation device 2 to inflate the mat body 1. The inflation amount can be adjusted by adjusting the switch 22, allowing the mat body 1 to inflate to a suitable level of firmness. After inflation, the user can lie face down on the mat body 1. While maintaining the face down position, the user can periodically inflate the mat body 1 or open the inflation port 11 to deflate it, thereby reducing discomfort. After use, all the air inside the mat body 1 can be expelled, and the mat body 1 can be folded for easy storage and transport.

[0042] The prone mat provided in this embodiment, by setting an inflation device 2, allows the mat body 1 to adjust the firmness according to the user's needs. It can also perform timed inflation and deflation operations during the user's prone position to dynamically distribute body pressure, reduce the risk of prolonged pressure on local skin, effectively prevent pressure injury, and relieve chest tightness and abdominal compression discomfort, thereby helping the user to better maintain the correct posture.

[0043] Optionally, the outer surface of the mat body 1 is made of TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane). TPU material has excellent abrasion resistance, aging resistance and high elasticity, and can be cleaned by wiping with disinfectant wipes.

[0044] Optionally, the interior of the mat body 1 is configured with a honeycomb structure, which can provide effective support after inflation.

[0045] Optionally, the mat body 1 is a cuboid. For example, the length of the mat body 1 is 180cm, the width is 90cm, and the thickness of the mat body 1 when it is not inflated is 5cm.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the top surface of the mat body 1 is provided with a first groove 12, a second groove 13 and a third groove 14. The first groove 12 is used to accommodate the head and face of the human body. There are two second grooves 13, which are located on the left and right sides of the first groove 12. The two second grooves 13 are used to accommodate the arms of the human body. The third groove 14 is used to accommodate the torso and legs of the human body.

[0047] Specifically, after the mat body 1 is inflated, when the user lies face down on the mat body 1, the head and face are placed in the first groove 12, the hands are placed in the second groove 13 on both sides of the head, and the body and legs are placed in the third groove 14.

[0048] This design allows for appropriate grooves to be placed on the user's head, face, arms, torso, and legs, making the design of the mat body 1 more ergonomic and providing better support.

[0049] Optionally, a disposable replacement pad can be provided at the first groove 12 to prevent cross-infection during use.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, an annular protrusion 15 is provided at the periphery of the groove opening of the first groove 12. The annular protrusion 15 can reduce the movement of the head to a certain extent, which helps to ensure stability and safety during use.

[0051] Furthermore, the annular protrusion 15 can be configured as an anti-slip protrusion to reduce head slippage caused by minor body movements. That is, the surface of the annular protrusion 15 can be provided with an anti-slip layer, which can be made of a relatively soft material such as silicone or velvet.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the prone mat also includes leg covers 4.

[0053] The leg sleeve 4 can be fitted around the lower leg of a person. The leg sleeve 4 is connected to the inflation device 2, which is configured to intermittently inflate the leg sleeve 4.

[0054] With this setup, the inflation device 2 intermittently inflates the leg sleeve 4, which can intermittently pressurize the lower leg, simulating muscle contraction and relaxation during walking, effectively promoting blood circulation and reducing the risk of thrombosis.

[0055] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the inflation device 2 is provided with a first switch 25 and a second switch 26. When the first switch 25 is in the open state, it can inflate the inside of the mat body 1, and when the second switch 26 is in the open state, it can inflate the inside of the leg sleeve 4.

[0056] By setting up a first switch 25 and a second switch 26 that are independent of each other, the inflation of the mat body 1 and the inflation of the leg sleeves 4 can be controlled independently by their respective switches.

[0057] Specifically, the inflation device 2 can be an electronic pump that functions as a pressure pump.

[0058] Furthermore, the leg cover 4 includes a first cover 41 and a second cover 42. The inflation device 2 also includes a second interface 23 and a third interface 24. The second interface 23 is interconnected with the interior of the first cover 41, and the inflation device 2 can inflate the interior of the first cover 41 through the second interface 23. The third interface 24 is interconnected with the interior of the second cover 42, and the inflation device 2 can inflate the interior of the second cover 42 through the third interface 24.

[0059] By setting the leg sleeve 4 into two separate structures, namely the first sleeve 41 and the second sleeve 42, and inflating them through the second interface 23 and the third interface 24 respectively, the inflation device 2 can independently control the inflation rhythm of the first sleeve 41 and the second sleeve 42, thereby allowing alternating or synchronous pressure to be applied to the left and right calves, resulting in greater flexibility.

[0060] In some embodiments, the inflation device 2 further includes a time setting button (not shown), which is configured to set the duration for each inflation of the leg sleeve 4 by the inflation device 2. This configuration allows the inflation device 2 to set the inflation and pressurization time according to user needs, enabling different pressurization modes for different individuals, thus improving the flexibility and comfort of use.

[0061] In practical use, the first sleeve 41 and the second sleeve 42 are put on the user's two calves, the second switch 26 is turned on, and the inflation and pressurization time for each time is set by the time setting button, so that the calves can be intermittently pressurized according to the set time.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the prone mat also includes a timer 5.

[0063] Timer 5 is connected to the mat body 1 and is configured to emit prompt messages at regular intervals.

[0064] Users can set reminder times in advance via timer 5, such as setting a reminder every 2 hours. When the set reminder time is reached, timer 5 will issue a prompt message. After receiving the prompt message, users can choose to fine-tune their body position or change their body position to avoid adverse effects on their body from maintaining the same body position for a long time.

[0065] For example, the prompt message could be a gentle vibration from the pad body 1, accompanied by a clear voice prompt, such as "Please change position," ensuring that the patient receives the prompt even when resting or sleeping.

[0066] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
