Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, and specifically relates to a patient gown for lower limb surgery patients. Background Technology

[0002] In the clinical medical field, lower limb surgery is widely used, covering various types such as lower limb fracture repair, knee joint surgery, great saphenous vein stripping, and lower limb plaster fixation. After surgery, patients need to change their wound dressings regularly, and medical staff also need to closely observe the wound recovery. However, traditional casual patient pants have obvious drawbacks in meeting the dressing change needs of patients undergoing lower limb surgery. The pant legs are made of a single piece of fabric sewn on the inside. When changing the dressing, the pant leg on the surgical side must be completely removed and then put back on. During this process, medical staff need to be extremely careful. The slightest carelessness may touch the wound, aggravate the patient's pain, or even cause the dressing to fall off. At the same time, the frequent removal and putting on of the pant legs will inevitably expose the patient's private parts, causing a lot of inconvenience and trouble for both patients and medical staff.

[0003] To address this issue, Chinese patent CN202396502U discloses a patient gown specifically designed for lower limb surgery patients. This gown features a longitudinal opening along the center seam of the front leg, using overlapping straps and snaps for opening and closing. This allows medical staff to easily expose the dressing area, and the gown can be quickly closed after dressing changes, effectively reducing patient privacy exposure and improving the convenience of dressing procedures. However, this device still has shortcomings in practical application. Due to the lack of an overall anti-compression structure design, the patient's legs are easily compressed when lying in bed, especially the wound area. This compression not only increases patient discomfort but may also affect wound blood circulation, hindering wound healing and negatively impacting postoperative recovery. This highlights the inadequacy of existing patient gowns in terms of protective performance, necessitating further optimization and improvement. Utility Model Content

[0022] Example

[0023] refer to Figures 1 to 4 The patient gown for lower limb surgery patients in this embodiment includes an elastic waistband 1, with a trouser body 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the elastic waistband 1, a combined trouser leg 3 at the bottom of the trouser body 2, and a protective mechanism 4 inside the combined trouser leg 3.

[0024] The combined trouser leg 3 includes two elastic trouser legs 31. The elastic trouser legs 31 are arc-shaped and expanded in the middle. The bottom and top of the elastic trouser legs 31 are provided with first zippers 32. The elastic trouser legs 31 are connected to each other by the first zippers 32. The protective mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the inside of the elastic trouser legs 31. The front of the elastic trouser legs 31 has a dressing opening 33. The front of the dressing opening 33 has a second zipper 34. The dressing opening 33 is closed by the second zipper 34. When using this patient gown for lower limb surgery, the elastic waistband 1 can be adaptively adjusted according to the patient's waist size, providing a comfortable and stable wearing experience. The combined trouser leg 3 below the main body of the trousers 2 is composed of two elastic trouser legs 31 that are arc-shaped and expanded in the middle. The top and bottom of the elastic trouser legs 31 are provided with first zippers 32. A first zipper 32 allows medical staff to flexibly adjust the length of the combined trouser leg 3 according to the patient's body shape, surgical site, and actual nursing needs, achieving personalized fit for the patient gown. At the same time, the dressing change opening 33 on the front of the elastic trouser leg 31 is closed by a second zipper 34. When it is necessary to change the patient's dressing, the wound site can be quickly exposed by unzipping the second zipper 34, avoiding the cumbersome process of putting on and taking off traditional patient trousers and saving nursing time. The protective mechanism 4 located inside the elastic trouser leg 31 can provide effective protection for the wound when the patient is lying down or engaged in daily activities, preventing the wound from being compressed or impacted by external forces. Its specific protective function can be further enhanced by the specific structural design of the protective mechanism 4, helping the patient recover after surgery.

[0025] refer to Figures 2-4The protective mechanism 4 includes a hinge 41, with arc-shaped covering shells 42 fixedly connected to both sides of the hinge 41. The arc-shaped covering shells 42 are located inside the elastic trouser leg 31. Spreading components 44 are installed at both the upper and lower ends of the arc-shaped covering shells 42. A limiting group 43 is provided on the front of the arc-shaped covering shells 42. The two arc-shaped covering shells 42 are interlocked by the limiting group 43. The spreading component 44 includes a circular shell 437 and an arc-shaped limiting hole 431. The circular shell 437 is fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the inner side of one arc-shaped covering shell 42, and the arc-shaped limiting hole 431 is opened at the upper and lower ends of the front side of the other arc-shaped covering shell 42. The circular shell 437 is fixedly connected to... A torsion spring 432 is fixedly connected to a turntable 433 at its inner end. A connecting rod 434 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the turntable 433. Limiting frames 435 are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting rod 434. The ends of the limiting frames 435 are inserted into the arc-shaped limiting holes 431. The limiting frames 435 are arc-shaped in overall design. The arc-shaped limiting holes 431 and the limiting frames 435 are concentric with the torsion spring 432. An adjusting wheel 436 is fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting rod 434. Anti-slip textures are evenly spaced on the outer surface of the adjusting wheel 436. When the patient wears this gown, the protective mechanism 4 protects the surgical wound on the lower limbs. The patient inserts their lower limbs into the elastic trouser leg 31. Two arc-shaped covering shells 42, connected by hinges 41, surround the wound. The expansion assembly 44 inside the arc-shaped covering shell 42 begins to work, and the torsion spring 432 inside the circular shell 437 is in a stored state. It is connected to the turntable 433, the connecting rod 434, and the limiting bracket 435. When the two arc-shaped covering shells 42 fit together to cover the wound, the torsion spring 432 returns to its original position and pushes the turntable 433 to rotate. The turntable 433 drives the connecting rod 434 to move, so that the arc-shaped limiting brackets 435 at both ends of the connecting rod 434 are inserted into the arc-shaped limiting holes 431 on the other arc-shaped covering shell 42. Since the arc-shaped limiting holes 431, the limiting brackets 435, and the torsion spring 432 are arranged in concentric circles, they can be precisely matched. The two arc-shaped covering shells 42 are securely engaged, providing protection for the wound. When medical staff need to change the dressing, they can hold the adjusting wheel 436 and use its anti-slip texture to increase friction. Rotating the adjusting wheel 436 drives the connecting rod 434 to rotate. The rotating connecting rod 434 compresses the torsion spring 432, causing the limiting frame 435 to rotate out of the arc-shaped limiting hole 431, thereby quickly opening the two arc-shaped covering shells 42 and exposing the wound. After the dressing is changed, the two arc-shaped covering shells 42 are closed again, and the torsion spring 432 will drive the limiting frame 435 to re-insert into the arc-shaped limiting hole 431, completing the closure of the protective mechanism 4 and continuously protecting the wound from pressure and external interference.

[0026] refer to Figures 2-4The outer side of the arc-shaped cover shell 42 is provided with a hook and loop fastener, and the inside of the elastic trouser leg 31 is fixedly connected with a hook and loop fastener. The outer side of the arc-shaped cover shell 42 is bonded to the inside of the elastic trouser leg 31 through the cooperation of the hook and loop fastener. The expansion component 44 includes a buffer spring 441, which is arranged in an arc shape at equal intervals and fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends inside the arc-shaped cover shell 42. An arc-shaped support frame 442 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the buffer spring 441. The hook-and-loop fasteners on the outside of the arc-shaped protective shell 42 and the loop fasteners inside the elastic leg 31 work together to ensure that the arc-shaped protective shell 42 is firmly attached to the inside of the elastic leg 31, ensuring its stable position and preventing it from shifting during the patient's activities. When the patient inserts their lower limb into the elastic leg 31 and the arc-shaped protective shell 42 covers the wound, the cushioning springs 441 arranged in an arc shape at both ends inside the arc-shaped protective shell 42 come into play. One end of the cushioning spring 441 is connected to the arc-shaped protective shell 42, and the other end is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped support frame 442. When the patient moves or the limb is compressed, the cushioning spring 441 can absorb external pressure by stretching and deforming, preventing pressure from acting directly on the wound. At the same time, the arc-shaped support frame 442 supports the outer sides of the wound, further dispersing the pressure and preventing the arc-shaped protective shell 42 from directly compressing the wound, creating a good external environment for wound healing, and improving the patient's comfort while ensuring the protective effect.

[0027] Operating principle and advantages: This patient gown significantly improves the flexibility and convenience of clinical use through its innovatively designed combined trouser leg 3 structure. In actual application, the combined trouser leg 3 uses the first zipper 32 to connect and separate the various parts. Medical staff can flexibly adjust the length of the patient gown according to the specific needs of the patient. Whether it is to provide a suitable fit for patients of different body types or to adjust for different lower limb surgical sites, it can be easily achieved. This segmented and detachable design not only makes it easy for medical staff to operate flexibly according to the actual situation, but also greatly simplifies the subsequent cleaning process and facilitates deep cleaning and disinfection of the patient gown.

[0028] Regarding dressing change procedures, the dressing opening 33 of the combined trouser leg 3 is equipped with a second zipper 34. By opening and closing the second zipper 34, medical staff can quickly and accurately expose the dressing area on the patient's leg, eliminating the need for cumbersome dressing and doffing procedures like traditional patient trousers, effectively saving dressing time. At the same time, the elastic trouser leg 31 is made of highly elastic elastic fabric. This fabric not only conforms to the patient's leg curves and improves wearing comfort, but also provides a certain amount of stretching space during dressing changes, making it convenient for medical staff to operate. The combined use of the first zipper 32 and the second zipper 34, from length adjustment to control of the dressing opening 33, comprehensively optimizes the use process of patient gowns, further improving the efficiency of clinical nursing work.

[0029] In addition, the protective mechanism 4 provided by this patient gown provides reliable protection for the patient's postoperative wound. The protective mechanism 4 fixes the arc-shaped covering shell 42 to the inside of the elastic trouser leg 31 with Velcro. Due to the good elasticity of the elastic trouser leg 31, the patient can easily insert his / her lower limbs between the two arc-shaped covering shells 42. Through the linkage of the hinge 41, the two arc-shaped covering shells 42 can accurately cover the wound site. During this process, the buffer spring 441 works in conjunction with the arc-shaped support to provide stable support for the arc-shaped covering shell 42. At the same time, the arc-shaped support frame 442 is cleverly supported on the outer sides of both ends of the wound to prevent the arc-shaped covering shell 42 from directly contacting the wound, effectively preventing the wound from being compressed and creating a good external environment for wound healing.

[0030] When the two arc-shaped covering shells 42 are fixed, the force generated by the resetting of the torsion spring 432 pushes the turntable 433 to rotate. The turntable 433 drives the connecting rod 434 to move, so that the limiting bracket 435 on the connecting rod 434 is accurately inserted into the arc-shaped limiting hole 431. Through the mutual cooperation between the limiting bracket 435 and the arc-shaped limiting hole 431, the two arc-shaped covering shells 42 are stably closed, ensuring that the arc-shaped covering shells 42 can stably cover the wound for a long time and play a continuous protective role. When it is necessary to change the dressing, the two arc-shaped covering shells 42 can be stably covered at the wound site for a long time. During operation, medical staff only need to rotate the adjusting wheel 436 to rotate the connecting rod 434. The rotation of the connecting rod 434 causes the turntable 433 to compress the torsion spring 432, causing the limiting frame 435 to disengage from the arc-shaped limiting hole 431, thereby quickly opening the two arc-shaped covering shells 42 and exposing the wound. This design not only ensures that the wound is effectively protected during non-dressing periods, but also enables quick and convenient operation during dressing changes, taking into account both protective performance and ease of use, and effectively improving the quality and efficiency of clinical nursing work.
