Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of surgical sterilization equipment technology, and in particular to a limb sterilization auxiliary support. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, when disinfecting a patient's limbs before orthopedic limb surgery, medical staff need to lift the affected limb for an extended period of time for disinfection. This is time-consuming and laborious, and the disinfectant will drip onto the operating table and the operating room floor, making it difficult to clean and failing to meet hospital infection control requirements.
[0003] In related technologies, although disinfection supports that can assist in supporting the limbs have emerged, the affected limb is usually abducted and suspended on the IV stand using bandages. After skin disinfection is completed, the IV stand is removed. Alternatively, elastic bands are used as supports. The contact surface between the limb and the support cannot be fully disinfected. Medical staff still need to lift the affected limb to complete the disinfection and draping. Disinfectant often drips onto the operating table and the floor.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an auxiliary support that can facilitate the use of disinfectant sheets, save effort, and collect disinfectant solution. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide a limb disinfection auxiliary support, which aims to solve the technical problems of reducing the number of times the affected limb is manually lifted and the disinfectant splashing everywhere and contaminating the operating room environment during skin disinfection in orthopedic limb surgery.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve the technical problem is as follows: a limb disinfection auxiliary support, comprising:
[0007] tray;
[0008] At least one pair of slide rails, the two slide rails being arranged parallel to each other on the tray;
[0009] At least one pair of support rods; the two support rods are slidably mounted on the slide rail, and the support rods are all lifting structures;
[0010] Several connecting parts are provided for fixing the bandage. The connecting parts are respectively disposed on the upper side of the support rod so that the bandage is horizontally laid between the two support rods.
[0011] Optionally, the support rod further includes a slider that matches the slide rail. The slider is located at the bottom of the support rod and has a locking mechanism to fix the relative position of the slider and the slide rail.
[0012] The slider is provided with a guide slope, and the projected profile width of the slider in the vertical direction is greater than the projected profile width of the slide rail.
[0013] Optionally, the support rod includes an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder coaxially assembled, the inner cylinder being disposed inside the outer cylinder, the connecting part being disposed at the top of the inner cylinder, the outer side wall of the outer cylinder being provided with a plurality of locking holes, the plurality of locking holes being vertically distributed, and the inner cylinder being provided with a corresponding telescopic elastic fixing post, the elastic fixing post passing through one of the locking holes to fix the relative height of the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder.
[0014] Optionally, the connecting part is provided with a plurality of vertically distributed binding holes, the cross-sectional profile of which is a flat strip.
[0015] Optionally, the tray may further include an extension plate, one end of which is connected to the tray and the other end of which extends horizontally toward the outside of the tray.
[0016] Optionally, the extension plate further includes a hinge, through which the extension plate is rotatably connected to the tray.
[0017] Optionally, the extension plate includes a connecting portion and a flat portion connected together, the connecting portion being arc-shaped and connected to the tray, so that the extension plate can rotate to the outer bottom of the tray.
[0018] Optionally, the extension plate includes a connecting portion and a flat plate portion connected together, wherein the width of the connecting portion is smaller than the width of the flat plate portion.
[0019] Optionally, the support rod and the slider are rotatably connected via a folding assembly.
[0020] Optionally, the inner center of the tray protrudes and gradually slopes outward.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this application provide a connecting part on the support rod, which makes it easier for medical staff to fix the medical bandage directly to the connecting part, forming a support point for the patient's limb. This makes it easier for medical staff to disinfect the leg, saving time and effort and reducing the workload of medical staff.
[0022] When disinfecting limbs, the bandages can be disinfected together, especially the contact surfaces between the limb and the bandage. This ensures effective disinfection of the surgical area while reducing medical costs; the bandages can simply be discarded after use. Furthermore, because the support rod is located inside the tray, any dripping disinfectant is collected, ensuring the hygiene of the operating table and floor, patient safety, and preventing hospital-acquired infections.
[0023] In addition, for patients of different heights and ages, whose upper and lower limbs are of different lengths, the sliding rails and the height of the support rods can be adjusted to better assist in supporting and disinfecting the affected limbs. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Limb surgeries account for 60% to 80% of all orthopedic surgeries. Limb surgeries often involve deep tissues such as bones, joint cavities, and tendons. Coupled with the relatively weak blood supply to the limbs, the risk of postoperative infection is high, requiring even stricter aseptic techniques. In current surgeries, especially for the lower limbs where the disinfection area is large, one medical staff member typically needs to lift the patient's limb while another surgical staff member disinfects the skin. This method not only greatly depletes the physical strength of medical staff but also causes disinfectant to drip onto the operating table and floor. Therefore, current limb disinfection procedures in orthopedic limb surgeries are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the operating room environment does not meet relevant hospital infection control standards.
[0034] For this reason, see Figure 1 , Figure 1The present invention proposes a limb disinfection auxiliary support, including a tray 10, at least one pair of slide rails 20, at least one pair of support rods 30, and several connecting parts 40. The two slide rails 20 are arranged parallel to each other on the tray 10, and the two support rods 30 are slidably arranged on the slide rails 20. The support rods 30 are all lifting structures. The connecting parts 40 are used to fix the bandage 60. The connecting parts 40 are respectively arranged on the upper side of the support rods 30 so that the bandage 60 is horizontally supported between the two support rods 30. A slide rail 20 is provided along the length of the tray 10, and support rods 30 are vertically installed on the slide rail 20. The support rods 30 installed on the slide rail 20 can all move along the direction of the slide rail 20. According to the length of the patient's limb, the position of the support rods 30 can be adjusted so that the patient's limb is raised to a suitable height, avoiding patient discomfort or limb slippage. The connecting part 40 at the top of the support rod 30 allows medical staff to fix the bandage 60 on it, thereby setting up a horizontal bandage 60 between the two support rods 30 to lift and support the patient's limb. During disinfection, medical staff can disinfect the medical bandage 60 together with the bandage, completely covering the patient's limb with disinfectant. Due to the permeability of the medical bandage 60, the disinfectant can fully soak the bandage 60, thereby disinfecting the contact surface between the bandage 60 and the limb, thus ensuring complete disinfection of the patient's limb. Excess disinfectant can be directly caught by the tray 10 at the bottom when it drips, avoiding contamination of the operating room environment. The disinfection bracket proposed in this embodiment can help medical staff lift the patient's limbs during disinfection, saving their physical strength, and can also thoroughly disinfect the limbs. It effectively saves costs by using the bandage 60 commonly found in hospital environments as a support point. The disinfection effect of each operation can be ensured by replacing the bandage 60 after each use. The tray 10 can prevent disinfectant from splashing and improve the compliance rate of the operating room environment.
[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the number of support rods 30 is configured as four, including a pair of higher support rods 30 and a pair of lower support rods 30. When supporting a limb, the proximal limb is placed on the lower support rods 30 and the distal limb is placed on the higher support rods 30, so as to achieve full support for the patient's limb.
[0036] In some embodiments, the support rod 30 further includes a slider 21, which matches the slide rail 20. The slider 21 is disposed at the bottom of the support rod 30 and is equipped with a locking mechanism to fix the relative position of the slider 21 and the slide rail 20. By setting a matching slide rail 20 and slider 21, the position of the support rod 30 can be adjusted more conveniently, and the locking mechanism can fix the support rod 30 to prevent displacement of the support rod 30 during support.
[0037] In this embodiment, the slider 21 and the slide rail 20 can be a linear guide rail and a linear slider 21 with a self-locking function, or a slide rail 20 with a dovetail groove and a slider 21 that matches the dovetail groove. The locking mechanism can be bolted, a limiting member, or other means. Those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs, and there are no restrictions here.
[0038] Specifically, the slider 21 is provided with a guide slope 211, and the projected profile width of the slider 21 in the vertical direction is greater than the projected profile width of the slide rail 20. The guide slope 211 on the slider 21 can guide the disinfectant solution that falls during disinfection into the tray 10, preventing it from remaining on the slider 21 and causing contamination. The width of the slider 21 is greater than the width of the slide rail 20, which can shield the slide rail 20 and prevent the disinfectant solution from falling onto the slide rail 20.
[0039] In this embodiment, the guide slope 211 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the slider 21 and extends in the width direction of the slide rail 20.
[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the support rod 30 includes an outer cylinder 31 and an inner cylinder 32 coaxially assembled. The inner cylinder 32 is disposed inside the outer cylinder 31, and the connecting part 40 is disposed at the top of the inner cylinder 32. The outer wall of the outer cylinder 31 is provided with a plurality of locking holes 311, which are vertically distributed. The inner cylinder 32 is correspondingly provided with a retractable elastic fixing post 321, which passes through one of the locking holes 311 to fix the relative height of the outer cylinder 31 and the inner cylinder 32. By providing an adjustable support rod 30, the height of the support can be adjusted more conveniently according to the patient's limb length, the height of the operating table, etc.
[0041] In this embodiment, the elastic fixing post 321 includes a spring and a pin. When the spring is in a compressed state and the positions of the elastic fixing post 321 and the locking hole 311 do not correspond, the elastic fixing post 321 contacts the inner wall of the outer cylinder 31, so that it is housed inside the outer cylinder 31. When the positions of the elastic fixing post 321 and the locking hole 311 correspond, the pin pops out from the locking hole 311 under the action of the spring, thereby locking the relative positions of the outer cylinder 31 and the inner cylinder 32, so that the inner cylinder 32 is kept at a fixed height.
[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting portion 40 is provided with a plurality of vertically distributed binding holes 41. By providing a plurality of binding holes 41, medical staff can select the binding height of the bandage 60 according to the actual height required, thereby enabling the height of the support to meet the limb conditions of different patients.
[0043] The cross-sectional profile of the binding hole 41 is a flat strip. Specifically, a fixing rod is also provided inside the binding hole 41 so that the bandage 60 can be passed through the binding hole 41 and tied to the fixing rod.
[0044] In some embodiments, the tray 10 further includes an extension plate 50, one end of which is connected to the tray 10, and the other end extends horizontally outward. The outwardly extending extension plate 50 can be placed under the patient's hip or shoulder blade during disinfection. The patient's torso weight presses down on the extension plate 50, thus maintaining the stability of the tray 10 and improving the support effect of the disinfection support. Specifically, the extension plate 50 includes a connecting portion and a flat portion connected together. The width of the connecting portion is smaller than the width of the flat portion. The flat portion is positioned under the patient's torso. The narrower connecting portion reduces the weight of the device and facilitates storage.
[0045] Understandably, the opening on the tray 10 has an arc-shaped transition on both sides, which can effectively prevent the patient's limbs from bumping and scratching the sharp edge of the tray.
[0046] In some embodiments, the extension plate 50 is flush with the bottom surface of the tray 10, and the extension plate 50 is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the line connecting the two support rods 30.
[0047] In some embodiments, the extension plate 50 further includes a hinge 51, the extension plate 50 being rotatably connected to the tray 10 via the hinge 51, so that the extension plate 50 can rotate to the bottom of the tray 10.
[0048] In some embodiments, the support rod 30 and the slider 21 are rotatably connected via a folding assembly. By providing a rotatable and foldable support rod 30, the support rod 30 can be housed in the tray 10, reducing the height of the sterilization bracket and effectively saving operating room space.
[0049] In this embodiment, the folding assembly includes a rotating seat and a spring pin. The rotating seat has a pin hole, and the support rod 30 is rotatably disposed in the rotating seat. When the support rod 30 is in a vertical state, the position of the spring pin corresponds exactly to the position of the pin hole, and the spring pin pops out from the pin hole to fix the support rod 30.
[0050] In some embodiments, the inner center of the tray 10 is raised and gradually tilted outward. By setting the tilted surface, the dripping disinfectant can be guided from the center of the tray to the outer side of the tray 10, avoiding contamination of the central slide rail 20 and facilitating cleaning.
[0051] The beneficial effect of this application is that, by setting a connecting part on the support rod, the medical staff can directly fix the medical bandage on the connecting part to form a support point for the patient's limb, making it easier for the medical staff to disinfect the leg, saving time and effort, and reducing the workload of medical staff.
[0052] When disinfecting limbs, the bandages can be disinfected together, especially the contact surfaces between the limb and the bandage. This ensures effective disinfection of the surgical area, reduces medical costs, eliminates concerns about instrument contamination, and allows for the bandages to be discarded after use. Furthermore, because the support rod is located inside the tray, any dripping disinfectant is collected, ensuring the hygiene of the operating table and floor, patient safety, and reducing the incidence of hospital-acquired infections.
[0053] In addition, for patients of different heights and ages, whose upper and lower limbs are of different lengths, the sliding rails and the height of the support rods can be adjusted to better assist in supporting and disinfecting the affected limbs.
[0054] It should be understood that the application of this application is not limited to the examples above. Those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
