Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, specifically to an upper limb suspension belt. Background Technology

[0002] In the operating room, patient positioning is crucial. Proper placement of the upper limbs not only affects the smooth progress of the surgical procedure but is also closely related to the patient's postoperative comfort and the occurrence of complications. In recent years, our hospital has seen rapid development in minimally invasive breast surgery, especially the increasing number of endoscopic mastectomies. To facilitate the surgical procedure, the patient's upper limbs need to be suspended and fixed to the crossbars of the anesthesia frame.

[0003] The current method involves repeatedly wrapping elastic bandages around the crossbar of the anesthesia frame, then wrapping both upper limbs with 80*80cm cotton pads, using bandages to wrap the pads from the distal end to the proximal end, and securing the ends of the bandages with adhesive tape. Two assistants then lift both upper limbs to the crossbar of the anesthesia frame, and the circulating nurse uses bandages to wrap both upper limbs around the frame. However, this suspension method is cumbersome and time-consuming.

[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To improve or solve the technical problems of cumbersome and time-consuming operation of existing suspension structures, this utility model provides an upper limb suspension strap. The upper limb suspension strap includes: a sleeve adapted to be worn on the outside of a crossbar; a suspension strap including a limb fixation part adapted to wrap around the upper limb, and a suspension part wrapping around the limb fixation part and the sleeve; a first Velcro fastener is provided on the limb fixation part, one end of the suspension part is connected to the limb fixation part, and the other end of the suspension part is provided with a second Velcro fastener that matches the first Velcro fastener; the limb fixation part includes a first half adapted to wrap around a first upper limb, and a second half connecting the first half and the suspension part; the second half is configured to cooperate with the first half to wrap around a second upper limb; the first Velcro fastener is arranged on the second half.

[0006] This utility model discloses an upper limb suspension belt, comprising a sleeve and a suspension strap. The sleeve is fitted over the outside of a crossbar to prevent contact between the crossbar and the patient's upper limb, thus avoiding electrical burns. The suspension strap includes a limb fixation part and a suspension part. The limb fixation part secures and wraps around the patient's upper limb; the first half wraps around the first upper limb, and the second half, in conjunction with the first half, wraps around the second upper limb, facilitating the wrapping and suspension of both limbs. The suspension part wraps around the limb fixation part and the crossbar, thereby suspending the patient's upper limb. The limb fixation part and the suspension part are connected by a first and a second Velcro strap, simplifying operation, reducing suspension time, and improving suspension efficiency. Through the above design, this utility model's upper limb suspension belt, with its sleeve and suspension strap, reduces suspension time and improves suspension efficiency.

[0007] Furthermore, a third hook-and-loop fastener and a fourth hook-and-loop fastener that mates with the third hook-and-loop fastener are provided on the first half. Through this arrangement, the first half is connected via the third and fourth hook-and-loop fasteners, allowing for easier wrapping of the first upper limb and further reducing the time spent on the wrapping process. Simultaneously, the first half is relatively fixed to the first upper limb, making it easier to cooperate with the second half to wrap the second upper limb.

[0008] Furthermore, the first half has opposing first and second sides; the third hook and loop fastener is disposed on the first side and located at the end of the first half away from the second half; the fourth hook and loop fastener is disposed on the second side and located at the end of the first half closer to the second half.

[0009] Furthermore, the first and second hook and loop fasteners are strip-shaped and extend along the width direction of the suspension portion.

[0010] Furthermore, the suspension strap is made of cotton or non-woven fabric.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a restraint strap suitable for fastening the suspension strap at the crossbar.

[0012] Furthermore, a stop bar suitable for contacting the elbow of the first and second upper limbs is provided on the limb fixation part, and both ends of the stop bar are connected to the limb fixation part.

[0013] In summary, compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) The suspension part can wrap around the limb fixation part and the crossbar, thereby suspending the patient's upper limb. The limb fixation part and the suspension part are connected by the first and second Velcro straps, which makes the operation simpler, reduces the time spent in the suspension process, and improves the suspension efficiency;

[0015] (2) The first half is connected by the third and fourth Velcro, which can more easily wrap the first upper limb and further reduce the time spent in the wrapping process.

[0016] (3) The suspension straps can be washed after each use, reducing the occurrence of infection;

[0017] (4) The guard bar contacts the elbow of the first and second upper limbs, which can prevent the first and second upper limbs from slipping out of the limb fixation part. Attached Figure Description
