Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of leg circumference measurement technology, specifically a leg circumference measuring device. Background Technology

[0002] For patients with deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities, measuring leg circumference is a common clinical method to observe the degree of swelling in the affected limb.

[0003] The utility model with announcement number CN219331651U discloses a leg circumference measuring device, including a positioning plate and a measuring tape box. Two measuring tape boxes are provided. Adjusting plates are slidably connected to both ends of the positioning plate. The end of each adjusting plate away from the positioning plate is fixedly connected to the corresponding measuring tape box.

[0004] The above technical solution uses the retraction of a spring to allow the measuring tape to automatically conform to the patient's leg, effectively avoiding the problem of inconsistent tension that can affect measurement data when the operator tightens the tape, thus ensuring the accuracy of the equipment. The positioning pointer and observation port allow for timely and accurate determination of the scale on the measuring tape, facilitating data observation and recording. Simultaneous measurement of the thigh and calf circumference is possible, significantly improving the equipment's measurement efficiency and usability. However, when measuring leg circumference, it is not convenient to maintain the same position for accurate measurements on the same patient multiple times. Patients of different body types have different leg lengths, making it impossible to adjust the tape length accordingly. Furthermore, the different curvatures of the thigh and calf make stable contact during measurement difficult. Additionally, the measuring tape cannot be quickly installed and the measurement values ​​cannot be accurately determined during leg circumference measurement. Utility Model Content
