Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clinical nursing technology, specifically to a device for preventing upper limb edema. Background Technology
[0002] ICU patients often experience delirium and other mental disorders due to their critical condition, complex treatment methods, and numerous monitoring channels. Delirium-stricken patients frequently experience unplanned extubation. To ensure patient safety and the effectiveness of treatment and monitoring, protective restraint using restraint straps has become a common practice.
[0003] However, during application, it was found that the restraint straps caused edema and discomfort in the patient's extremities. Since the treatment required prolonged restraint of the patient, it could easily lead to limb dysfunction. Therefore, a device to prevent upper limb edema is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for preventing upper limb edema, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A device for preventing upper limb edema includes a support pad 1, the longitudinal section of which is a right-angled triangle. A placement groove 2 is provided on the inclined surface of the support pad 1 along its length. A detachable mesh sleeve 3 is placed in the placement groove 2. A functional ball 5 is placed inside the mesh sleeve 3. A set of first constraint straps 4 is provided on the mesh sleeve 3. The first constraint strap through holes 10 are provided on the two side walls of the placement groove 2.
[0007] Several snap buttons 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the placement groove 2, and two female snap buttons 7 that match the snap buttons 6 are arranged on the outer side of the mesh sleeve 3.
[0008] The angle between the inclined surface and the bottom surface of the support pad 1 is 30-45°.
[0009] Two second constraint bands 8 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the bottom of the support pad 1.
[0010] Both the first constraint band 4 and the second constraint band 8 are provided with Velcro.
[0011] The mesh sleeve 3 is equipped with a zipper 9.
[0012] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This invention uses a triangular support pad to lift the patient's arm upwards, which can reduce edema in the extremities. The functional ball allows the patient to perform small joint function training, reducing patient pain, facilitating clinical operation for nurses, ensuring the safety of the patient's tubes, improving the cure rate, and reducing the anxiety caused to the family by edema.

[0021] Example 1
[0022] like Figure 1-3This embodiment provides a device for preventing upper limb edema, including a support pad 1. The longitudinal cross-section of the support pad 1 is a right-angled triangle. A placement groove 2 is formed along the length of the inclined surface of the support pad 1. A detachable mesh sleeve 3 is placed in the placement groove 2. A functional ball 5 is placed inside the mesh sleeve 3. Two first restraint straps 4 are provided on both sides of the mesh sleeve 3. The first restraint straps have through holes 10 on both sides of the placement groove 2. The functional ball 5 is selected from elastic balls or rubber balls for easy gripping by the patient.
[0023] Multiple snap fasteners 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the placement groove 2, and two female snap fasteners 7 that match the snap fasteners 6 are provided on the outer side of the mesh sleeve 3. In use, the female snap fasteners 7 on the mesh sleeve 3 are fastened together with the corresponding snap fasteners 6, thereby fixing the mesh sleeve 3 in the placement groove 2. Furthermore, by fastening the female snap fasteners 7 on the mesh sleeve 3 to the snap fasteners 6 at different positions, the position of the mesh sleeve 3 can be adjusted to accommodate patients with different arm lengths.
[0024] The angle between the inclined surface and the bottom surface of the support pad 1 is 30-45°, which means that the patient's arm is lifted upwards at 30-45°, making it comfortable for the patient.
[0025] Two second restraint straps 8 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the bottom of the support pad 1. The support pad 1 can be fixed to the hospital bed by the second restraint straps 8. In this embodiment, the bottom of the support pad 1 is provided with a through hole, and a whole restraint strap passes through the through hole at the bottom of the support pad 1, thereby forming two second restraint straps 8 that can be tied together on the left and right sides of the support pad 1.
[0026] Both the first constraint band 4 and the second constraint band 8 are equipped with Velcro. The Velcro allows for quick connection of two constraint bands in the same group. Specifically, it facilitates attaching two first constraint bands 4 together or two second constraint bands 8 together.
[0027] The net sleeve 3 is equipped with a zipper 9. The zipper 9 facilitates the placement or retrieval of the functional balls 5.
[0028] The support pad 1 can be made of sponge or silicone.
[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, first place the patient's arm into the placement groove 2 and put the patient's hand into the mesh sleeve 3. Then, wrap the two first restraint straps 4 around the patient's wrist to fix the patient's wrist and prevent the patient's arm from slipping off the support pad 1. The triangular support pad 1 lifts the patient's arm upward, which can effectively prevent edema. The patient can perform small joint function training by holding the functional ball 5, which can reduce the patient's pain, facilitate the nurse's clinical operation, ensure the safety of the patient's tubes, improve the cure rate, and reduce the anxiety caused to the family by edema.
