Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a temperature-adjustable fluid surgical positioning pad. Background Technology
[0002] In surgical procedures, patient positioning and comfort are crucial for the convenience of the operation and the prevention of postoperative complications. Surgical positioning pads, as commonly used medical devices, are primarily used to support and stabilize the patient's position, distributing localized pressure. Their core function is to achieve a close fit to the patient's body contours through a well-designed structure, reducing the risk of pressure sores and nerve damage caused by improper positioning during prolonged surgery. Traditional surgical positioning pads often use static filling materials such as foam and gel, which, while providing some support and pressure distribution, have limitations in adapting to different patient body shapes and dynamic adjustments.
[0003] With the expansion of the application of fluid dynamics technology in the field of medical devices, fluid surgical positioning pads filled with fluids (such as gel, water or air) have emerged. These pads achieve adaptive shaping through the fluid's fluidity, significantly improving the fit to the patient's position and the uniformity of pressure distribution.
[0004] However, existing fluid surgical positioning pads still have significant drawbacks. They are not able to maintain the patient's body temperature, the pads themselves have poor thermal conductivity and are prone to becoming a cold source in the low-temperature environment of the operating room. They also lack active heating function and rely solely on external heating equipment (such as heating blankets and warm air blowers), which results in problems such as delayed heating, inaccurate temperature control and occupation of surgical space. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a temperature-adjustable fluid surgical positioning pad, which solves the problems of existing surgical positioning pads in terms of maintaining body temperature and dispersing pressure, thereby improving the comfort and safety of surgical patients.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] An adjustable temperature fluid surgical positioning pad includes a pad body, a heating component, and a pressure-reducing pad. The pad body is filled with fluid to achieve body positioning and shaping. The heating component is used to regulate the temperature of the pad body and surrounding area. The pressure-reducing pad is used to disperse pressure and prevent pressure sores.
[0008] Preferably, the heating assembly includes a temperature control switch, a power cord, and multiple heating elements. The temperature control switch is electrically connected to the multiple heating elements via the power cord to control the working state of the heating elements. The temperature control switch can accurately control the working state of the heating elements. By electrically connecting to the power cord, it can control the power supply to the heating elements. When supplying power to the heating elements, it can be powered by an external power supply via an external power cord, or it can be powered by an internally rechargeable battery. Power can be supplied in either of these two ways.
[0009] Preferably, the heating element is a heating wire arranged in a U-shape. Multiple heating elements are connected to a power cord via connecting terminals. The connecting terminals are used for connecting the heating wire and the power cord. The U-shaped arrangement of the heating wire helps to evenly dissipate heat, making the temperature distribution on the surface of the pad more uniform. The individual connection between multiple heating elements and the power cord ensures that if one heating element is damaged, the surgical positioning pad will not become unusable for heating.
[0010] Preferably, a barrier plate is provided between the pad and the heating component. The barrier plate is used to isolate the heating component from the pad. The heating component is fixed on the barrier plate by a fixing member. The positioning member can be adhesive tape in use to fix the position of the heating wire. The barrier plate isolates the heating component from the pad, which can prevent the heating component from directly contacting the pad.
[0011] Preferably, the heating component is provided with a cover, and the cover has a through hole for the temperature control switch to be exposed. The cover is placed on the pad and covers the heating component, so as to prevent the heating component from being exposed. The cover is made of a heat-resistant and flexible material with good thermal conductivity.
[0012] Preferably, the housing is provided with multiple protective covers, which are placed on the barrier plate and cover multiple heating components. Each protective cover covers one heating component. When the pad deforms and folds, these protective covers can effectively prevent the heating components from touching each other, because touching the heating components may cause a sudden increase in local current, leading to safety accidents such as short circuits, overheating, or even fires. By setting up protective covers, the safety of the positioning pad during use is greatly improved, ensuring the safety of patients and medical staff.
[0013] Preferably, the pressure-reducing pad is disposed on the cover, and the pressure-reducing pad is provided with pressure-reducing protrusions. The pressure-reducing protrusions are elastic protrusions used to disperse the pressure in the contact area between the human body and the pad, reducing the risk of pressure sores. The pressure-reducing protrusions are elastic protrusions, and when the patient lies on the positioning pad, the pressure-reducing protrusions can automatically deform according to the pressure distribution of the patient's body, distributing the pressure evenly over a larger area, thereby effectively reducing the local pressure in the contact area between the human body and the pad.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] This invention adds a heating component to the fluid surgical pad, which achieves precise temperature regulation through a temperature control switch and heating wire. It can be powered by an external power source or a battery, preventing the pad from getting too cold and effectively maintaining the patient's body temperature, thus improving the user experience. The elastic pressure-reducing protrusions on the pressure-reducing pad can automatically disperse pressure and reduce the risk of pressure sores.
[0016] Furthermore, the protective cover can cover the heating components to prevent them from touching the heating components when the pad is deformed, thus avoiding a sudden increase in local current and improving safety. The heating components are distributed in a U-shape and are independently connected to the power cord, so damage to one component will not affect the overall heating function.

The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be used in other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
[0025] Those skilled in the art should understand that in the disclosure of this utility model, the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or position based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the purpose of simplifying the description of this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0026] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number. Example
[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 An adjustable temperature fluid surgical positioning pad includes a pad body 1, a heating component 2, and a pressure relief pad 3. The pad body 1 is filled with fluid to achieve body positioning and shaping. The heating component 2 is used to regulate the temperature of the pad body 1 and the surrounding area. The pressure relief pad 3 is used to disperse pressure and prevent pressure sores.
[0028] The heating assembly 2 includes a temperature control switch 21, a power cord 22, and multiple heating elements 24. The temperature control switch 21 is electrically connected to the multiple heating elements 24 via the power cord 22 to control the working state of the heating elements 24. The temperature control switch 21 can accurately control the working state of the heating elements 24. By electrically connecting to the power cord 22, it can control the power supply to the heating elements 24. When supplying power to the heating elements 24, it can be powered by connecting to an external power source via the external power cord 22, or it can be powered by an internally rechargeable battery. Power can be supplied in either of these two ways.
[0029] The heating element 24 is a heating wire arranged in a U-shape. Multiple heating elements 24 are connected to the power cord 22 through the connection terminal 23. The connection terminal 23 is used for the connection between the heating wire and the power cord 22. The U-shaped distribution of the heating wire helps to evenly dissipate heat and make the temperature distribution on the surface of the pad 1 more uniform. The individual connection between multiple heating elements 24 and the power cord 22 ensures that if a heating element 24 is damaged, the surgical positioning pad will not be unable to be heated and used.
[0030] A barrier plate 4 is provided between the pad 1 and the heating component 2. The barrier plate 4 is used to isolate the heating component 2 and the pad 1. The heating component 24 is fixed on the barrier plate 4 by a fixing member. The positioning member 25 can be an adhesive tape when in use, which is used to fix the position of the heating wire. The barrier plate 4 isolates the heating component 2 and the pad 1, which can prevent the heating component 24 from directly contacting the pad 1.
[0031] The heating component 2 is provided with a cover 5. The cover 5 has a through hole for the temperature control switch 21 to be exposed. The cover 5 is placed on the pad 1 and covers the heating component 2. The cover 5 covers the heating component 2 to prevent it from being exposed. The cover 5 is made of a heat-resistant and flexible material with good thermal conductivity.
[0032] The housing 5 is equipped with multiple protective covers 6, which are located on the barrier plate 4 and cover multiple heating components 24. Each protective cover 6 covers one heating component 24. When the pad 1 deforms and folds, these protective covers 6 can effectively prevent the heating components 24 from touching each other. This is because contact between the heating components 24 may cause a sudden increase in local current, leading to safety accidents such as short circuits, overheating, or even fires. By setting up the protective covers 6, the safety of the positioning pad during use is greatly improved, ensuring the safety of patients and medical staff.
[0033] The pressure-reducing pad 3 is installed on the cover 5. The pressure-reducing pad 3 is provided with pressure-reducing protrusions 31. The pressure-reducing protrusions 31 are elastic protrusions used to disperse the pressure in the contact area between the human body and the pad 1, reducing the risk of pressure sores. The pressure-reducing protrusions 31 are elastic protrusions. When the patient lies on the positioning pad, the pressure-reducing protrusions 31 can automatically deform according to the pressure distribution of the patient's body, and evenly distribute the pressure to a larger area, thereby effectively reducing the local pressure in the contact area between the human body and the pad 1.
[0034] In use, the fluid filling the pad 1 allows the pad 1 to be used in a plastic form. The power is turned on by the temperature control switch 21. When the current flows through the heating element 24, the heating element 24 starts to heat up, thereby heating the pad 1 and preventing the pad 1 from being too cold, thus improving the user experience. Furthermore, by controlling the amount of current flowing through the temperature control switch 21, the heating temperature of the heating element 24 can be controlled, thereby effectively controlling the heating temperature of the pad 1.
[0035] Before surgery, the temperature-adjustable fluid surgical positioning pad is placed on the operating table. The position of the positioning pad is adjusted according to the needs of the surgery. Then, the power cord 22 of the positioning pad is connected to an external power socket or the built-in battery. The temperature control switch 21 is turned on and the required temperature value is set. The patient is placed steadily on the positioning pad. The fluid inside the pad 1 automatically shapes according to the patient's body contour, providing comfortable support for the patient. At the same time, the pressure relief protrusions 31 on the pressure relief pad 3 begin to play their role, dispersing the pressure between the patient's body and the contact area of the pad 1.
[0036] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.
