Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, specifically relating to an inflatable positioning mattress for post-ophthalmic surgery. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the most common medical mattresses in clinical nursing are ordinary foam mattresses, which provide support and comfort through foams of varying firmness. However, after vitrectomy surgery in ophthalmology, many postoperative patients require specific positions due to their condition. Existing medical mattresses cannot flexibly adjust the position according to the user's specific needs. While some mattresses can be inflated to change firmness, most have simple structures, consisting of only a single air chamber, and cannot provide precise support and position adjustment for different parts of the body. Furthermore, existing inflatable mattresses lack sufficient lateral support, making it easy for users to slip off, resulting in poor safety. In addition, the bottom of existing mattresses is not ideal in terms of anti-slip properties, and they are prone to shifting when placed on smooth surfaces. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides an inflatable postoperative positioning mattress for ophthalmic surgery to solve at least one of the aforementioned technical problems.
[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows: an inflatable positioning mattress for postoperative ophthalmic surgery, comprising an upper mattress and a lower mattress. The upper mattress is provided with an adjustment mechanism and an inflation mechanism fixedly connected to the adjustment mechanism. The lower mattress is provided with an anti-slip mechanism. The adjustment mechanism includes an airbag assembly and a side support structure. The airbag assembly includes a neck airbag, a lateral airbag, and a prone airbag located above the upper mattress. The neck airbag is a U-shaped airbag with a hollow structure in the middle. The lateral airbag has a lateral inclined surface for supporting the patient's body. The prone airbag is located below the lateral airbag.
[0005] In a preferred embodiment, the adjustment mechanism further includes a concealed structure comprising a receiving cavity located on the upper mattress for accommodating the side-lying airbag and the prone airbag, the top of the receiving cavity being connected to the side-lying airbag and the prone airbag via a concealed zipper.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the inflation mechanism includes an inflation nozzle movably connected to the airbag assembly and an air pump connected to the inflation nozzle via a rubber tube.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the inflation nozzle is provided with a fixing member and a one-way valve for allowing gas to flow unidirectionally into the airbag.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the side support structure includes a side airbag and an elastic rubber strip disposed on the side airbag.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the inflation mechanism further includes an air pressure regulating device connected to the neck airbag, the lateral airbag, the prone airbag, and the side airbag respectively, so as to independently regulate the air pressure between each airbag through the air pressure regulating device.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the anti-slip mechanism includes a connector between the upper mattress and the lower mattress and a toothed anti-slip strip disposed on the side of the lower mattress away from the upper mattress.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the connector includes a hooked bristle side and a rounded bristle side; the bristle side is fixed to the bottom of the upper mattress, and the rounded bristle side is fixed to the top of the lower mattress.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a flexible layer is provided on the outside of the upper mattress, and an opening is provided on one side of the flexible layer.
[0013] A preferred embodiment is applicable to the recovery from ophthalmic surgeries requiring specific body positions, such as vitrectomy and retinal reattachment.
[0014] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, by setting an adjustment mechanism on the upper mattress, specifically by adopting zoned airbags and independent side support structures, the support strength and body position of different parts of the mattress can be precisely adjusted, realizing precise support and body position adjustment according to the user's specific needs, greatly reducing the patient's pain, improving the patient's comfort, and reducing the workload of caregivers.
[0016] 2. As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, by setting a hidden structure, the flatness of the outer surface of the upper mattress is ensured when it is not inflated. Through the cooperation of the receiving cavity and the invisible zipper, when it is not inflated, the side-lying airbag and the prone airbag are stored in the receiving cavity inside the upper mattress. After the invisible zipper is closed, the mattress surface is flat, and the invisible zipper also prevents the side-lying airbag and the prone airbag from accidentally deploying and causing injury to the patient.
[0017] 3. As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the neck airbag, side-lying airbag, prone airbag and side airbag are all equipped with air nozzles that can be individually connected to an air pump through rubber tubes, ensuring that the airbags in different parts of the mattress can be independently adjusted according to the user's specific needs to achieve precise body position adjustment.
[0018] Furthermore, the fixing component of the inflation nozzle of each airbag achieves the purpose of fixed connection to the air pump, and the one-way valve set in the inflation nozzle allows gas to flow into the airbag in one direction. Moreover, when the connection between the air pump and the airbag is cut off, there will be no air leakage, thus ensuring the stable air pressure inside the airbag.
[0019] Furthermore, each airbag is connected to a pressure regulating device via an additional rubber tube, enabling pressure adjustment after inflation to ensure mattress stability.
[0020] 4. As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, by setting side airbags and elastic rubber strips in the side support structure, the mattress is provided with side support, and the height of the airbags is adjustable to accommodate patients of different body types, thereby preventing the user from slipping off the mattress.
[0021] 5. As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper and lower mattresses are quickly aligned by setting a connector with hooked and interlocking surfaces, which prevents the mattress from sliding after inflation and causing injury to the patient. The connector also ensures quick disassembly and maintenance between the mattresses. The toothed anti-slip strip increases the friction of the outer surface of the lower mattress, thereby increasing the coefficient of friction between the mattress and the surface on which it is placed, making the mattress more stable.
[0022] 6. As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, by providing a flexible layer on the outside of the upper mattress, the comfort of the mattress can be significantly improved. For example, the flexible layer wraps around the edge of the airbag, eliminating the pressure sensation on the skin caused by the sharp edges after inflation. Attached Figure Description

[0038] To more clearly illustrate the overall concept of this utility model, a detailed description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0039] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0040] Furthermore, it should be understood in the description of this utility model that the terms "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0041] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a communication connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0042] In this invention, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the first feature "on" or "below" the second feature may be in direct contact with the first and second features, or indirect contact through an intermediate medium. In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "implementation," "example," "aspect," or "specific example" indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
[0043] Example 1:
[0044] A preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, an inflatable positioning mattress for post-ophthalmic surgery includes an upper mattress 1 and a lower mattress 2. In use, the assembled mattress is placed on a flat bed frame or the ground. The upper mattress 1 includes an adjustment mechanism 3. An inflation mechanism 4 inflates the upper mattress 1 to achieve the desired firmness. Then, according to the user's positioning needs, an air pump 43 is connected to different air bladders to adjust the air pressure of each zone's air bladder. For example, if the patient needs to remain prone after retinal insufflation surgery, the neck air bladder 311 can be inflated first. The inflated U-shaped neck air bladder 311 can gently hold the head like a splint, reducing the range of motion when the patient turns or twists. The U-shaped perforated area also allows for ventilation. The airbag 313 is positioned above the patient's mouth and nose to ensure unobstructed breathing. Simultaneously, the air pressure within the prone airbag 313 can be increased. After inflation, the prone airbag 313 forms a hollow support area, which works in conjunction with the U-shaped neck airbag 311. The support points of the prone airbag 313 are located at the clavicle and chest, ensuring the face is completely suspended and there is no contact pressure on the operated eye area. For example, after retinal surgery, a strict 30° lateral recumbent position is required. In this case, the air pressure of the lateral recumbent airbag 312 can be adjusted to make the left or right airbag within the lateral recumbent airbag 312 triangular prism. The angle of its inclined surface can be precisely fixed by controlling the inflation volume, avoiding the positional shift caused by traditional pillow stacking. This achieves precise control of the angle and lateral recumbent direction, meeting the special postoperative positioning needs of ophthalmology.
[0045] Example 2:
[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an inflatable positioning mattress for post-ophthalmic surgery differs from Embodiment 1. The adjustment mechanism 3 further includes a hidden structure 33, which has a receiving cavity 331 inside the upper mattress 1 corresponding to the position of the corresponding airbag. When the airbag is in use, the corresponding airbag is released and inflated by sliding the invisible zipper 332 on the outer surface of the airbag along the rack track at the opening 111 of the receiving cavity 331, ensuring that the airbag unfolds along a preset path, realizing the unfolding and shape fixation of the airbag in the inflated state. After the airbag is deflated, the corresponding airbag is folded and stored in the receiving cavity 331 inside the upper mattress 1, and the invisible zipper 332 slides in the opposite direction, restoring the mattress surface to flatness. This state improves the comfort brought by the flatness of the bed surface, and the airbag is completely sealed in the hidden state, which can also prevent accidental inflation caused by the patient pressing it, effectively improving the comfort and safety of the mattress.
[0047] In addition, the side support structure 32 includes a side airbag 321 and an elastic rubber strip 322 set on the side airbag 321. The side airbag 321 can adjust its height according to the air pressure. When in use, the air pressure of one side airbag 321 can be increased first to form a protective railing. After the patient gets on the bed from the other side, the air pressure of the remaining side airbag 321 can be increased to form a ring protection state. The side airbags 321 on both sides can be adjusted in height according to the patient's body shape, effectively preventing the patient from slipping off the mattress and improving the safety of use.
[0048] Example 3:
[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, an inflatable positioning mattress for post-ophthalmic surgery differs from Embodiment 1. The inflation mechanism 4 includes an inflation nozzle 41 movably connected to each airbag and an air pump 43 connected to the inflation nozzle 41 via a rubber tube 42. When both the neck airbag 311 and the prone airbag 313 need to be inflated simultaneously, the air pump 43 can be connected to the rubber tube 42 of the neck airbag 311 via a fixing member 411, and air can be injected into the neck airbag 311, making the neck airbag 311 U-shaped. The neck airbag can then be removed. The fixing component 411 of the airbag 311 and the one-way valve 412 can prevent gas leakage from the neck airbag 311, ensuring the air pressure inside the neck airbag 311. The removed air pump 43 is connected to the prone airbag 313 and inflated. After inflation, a hollow support area is formed, which works in conjunction with the U-shaped neck airbag 311. After both are inflated, the air pressure can be adjusted through the air pressure regulating device 44 to make the air pressure inside the mattress stable and uniform, ensuring the stability and comfort of the mattress.
[0050] Example 4:
[0051] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, an inflatable positioning mattress for post-ophthalmic surgery differs from Embodiment 1. The anti-slip mechanism 5 includes a connector 51 between the upper mattress 1 and the lower mattress 2, and a toothed anti-slip strip 52 located on the side of the lower mattress 2 away from the upper mattress 1. The connector 51 includes a hooked bristle surface 511 and a rounded bristle surface 512. In use, the bristle surface 511 is fixed to the bottom of the upper mattress 1, and the rounded bristle surface 512 is fixed to the top of the lower mattress 2. First, align the bristle surface 511 of the upper mattress 1 with the rounded bristle surface 512 of the lower mattress 2, and press the connection point until a "click" is heard. The "click" sound indicates that the hook and bristles are fully engaged. When the assembled mattress is placed on the floor or bed, it moves slightly back and forth, using the patient's weight to press against the toothed anti-slip strip 52 and the placement surface for self-locking. The hook and bristle structure can resist lateral displacement when the patient turns over or adjusts their position, preventing accidental displacement from affecting postoperative recovery. Compared with metal buckles or invisible zippers 332, the hook and bristle surface opening and closing is noiseless, making it more suitable for use in quiet environments. The toothed anti-slip strip 52 increases the friction on the outer surface of the lower mattress 2, making the mattress more stable. This design ensures the stability and safety of the mattress during use.
[0052] Example 5:
[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, an inflatable positioning mattress for post-ophthalmic surgery differs from Embodiment 1 in that a flexible layer 11, such as medical-grade silicone, is provided on the outside of the upper mattress 1. The medical-grade silicone wraps around the edge of the airbag, eliminating the pressure sensation on the skin from the sharp edges after inflation, which can significantly improve the safety and comfort of the mattress. Furthermore, an opening 111 is provided on one side of the flexible layer 11, which can be easily disassembled and replaced. This design indirectly protects the upper mattress 1 and extends its service life.
