Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of obstetric and gynecological delivery stool technology, and in particular to a multifunctional delivery stool. Background Technology

[0002] In hospital obstetrics departments, the supine position is currently the most commonly used delivery position. However, with the continuous advancement of medical technology, some hospitals have begun to advocate for sitting delivery, which helps reduce pain for pregnant women, speeds up labor, and allows mothers to deliver quickly. Sitting delivery utilizes a birthing stool, a tool that facilitates a smoother delivery. Sitting on the birthing stool promotes pelvic expansion, helps relax the perineal muscles, prevents tearing, and facilitates the baby's descent.

[0003] In addition to advocating for seated delivery, obstetrics departments also promote early newborn contact, which involves placing the newborn immediately on the mother's chest or abdomen after birth. This helps promote the newborn's sucking behavior and establish an emotional bond between mother and child. Current birthing stools lack safety features, posing a risk of the newborn falling off the mother during early contact, thus creating a safety hazard. Therefore, current birthing stools lack the function of early newborn contact. Utility Model Content

[0037] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the U-shaped landing opening 1011 is provided with a soft pad, and the seat 101 has a placement groove 1012 inside, which is used to place the pad 1013 into the placement groove 1012 after delivery to close the U-shaped landing opening 1011. Specifically, the soft pad is provided to prevent the newborn's head from hitting the ground when landing from the U-shaped landing opening 1011; the pad 1013 includes a flat plate and a panel protrusion. The flat plate is adapted to the placement groove 1012, and the panel protrusion is adapted to the U-shaped landing opening 1011. To facilitate the insertion and removal of the pad 1013, a hook is provided at the exposed position of the flat plate, which makes it easy to remove the pad 1013 through the hook; a hook body 201 can be provided on the back of the backrest 20. When the U-shaped landing opening 1011 does not need to be closed during delivery, the pad 1013 is hung on the hook body 201.

[0038] In this embodiment, an angle adjuster 70 is provided between the backrest 20 and the seat 101. Specifically, the angle adjuster 70 is installed on the outer surface of the seat 101, and the backrest 20 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the angle adjuster 70. The interior of the angle adjuster 70 consists of a backrest connecting plate, a seat connecting plate, a core component, a handwheel or adjustment handle, a return spring, etc., which can drive the backrest 20 to adjust its angle. This part can be referred to in the prior art with publication number CN218529196U.

[0039] In this embodiment, two leg rests 801 are also included. One end of the leg rests 801 along its length is installed at the bottom of the seat 101, and the other end of the leg rests 801 along its length is fixedly provided with a foot pedal 802. Specifically, the leg rests 801 are retractable leg rests 801, which can adapt to the needs of postpartum women with different leg lengths and increase the comfort of the postpartum women. The specific retractable structure can refer to the sliding inner and outer rods with screws for fixing and locking, or refer to the spring ball structure of a folding umbrella, or refer to other common technical means in the prior art.

[0040] In this embodiment, one end of the leg rest 801 along its length is rotatably mounted to the bottom of the seat 101. Specifically, the rotation structure can be achieved through a ball joint device (not shown in the figure). The design of the ball joint device allows the leg rest 801 to be flexibly adjusted in angle, allowing the mother to freely adjust her leg position according to her needs and comfort during the delivery process and early postpartum contact. The ball joint device is also equipped with locking components. When the leg rest 801 is adjusted to a suitable position, its angle can be fixed by locking components such as screws or retaining rings to prevent the leg rest 801 from moving accidentally during childbirth. The leg rest 801 can also be detachably equipped with straps or knee pads similar to those on a wheelchair to prevent the mother's legs from slipping off the leg rest 801, making lying down more comfortable. The ball joint device here is a conventional technical means, and its specific structure and principle will not be described in detail here.

[0041] In this embodiment, an infusion rod 90, which is detachable or rotatable via a rotating frame, is installed on the outer side of the support frame 102 or the seat plate 101, and the infusion rod 90 has a telescopic structure design. The infusion rod 90 is a common technical feature in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] The bottom of the support leg 1021 is equipped with brakeable casters, which makes it convenient to directly push the delivery stool to transfer the mother into the emergency room in case of emergency.

[0043] The multifunctional birthing stool proposed in this utility model is used as follows:

[0044] First, the collection basin 50 is installed under the seat 101. The mother sits on the seat 101 with her back against the backrest 20 and her legs resting on the leg rest 801 and footrest 802. To make the mother more comfortable sitting on the birthing stool, the angle between the seat 101 and the backrest 20 can be adjusted as needed. When the mother needs to push, she can grasp the handrail 301 with both hands. When the midwife needs to observe changes in the perineum, she can adjust the position of the observation mirror 602 by adjusting the flexible tube 601 to a convenient position for observation. At the same time, the amniotic fluid and feces produced by the mother during labor will be collected by the collection basin 50 under the seat board 101. When the midwife observes that the baby is about to come out, she can install the newborn net 40 on top of the collection basin 50 (or the newborn net 40 and the collection basin 50 can be installed in advance, and a clean cloth can be placed on the newborn net 40 when the midwife observes that the baby is about to come out; however, even if the newborn inevitably comes into contact with a small amount of the mother's feces, this is normal and harmless, so it is possible to install the newborn net 40 and the collection basin 50 in advance without placing a cloth).

[0045] After delivery, the collection basin 50 is disassembled for cleaning, and the newborn is carefully taken out of the newborn net bag 40 and placed in the mother's arms. At the same time, the protective belt 302 is installed to prevent the newborn from falling out accidentally. To improve the mother's comfort, the extra pad 1013 can be removed from the hook 201 on the back of the backrest 20 and inserted into the placement slot 1012 of the seat 101 to close the U-shaped landing opening 1011. The angle between the seat 101 and the backrest 20, and the angle between the leg rest 801 and the seat 101 can be adjusted appropriately.
