[0034] The support handle 1 is fixed to the side of the operating table by a support connecting assembly, wherein the support connecting assembly includes a connector 7 with a fixing groove, the fixing groove of the connector 7 being 0.8 cm wide and 2.7 cm long.

[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, through holes 8 are provided on both sides of the connector 7. The frame of the operating table is inserted into the through holes 8 to install the connector 7. At the same time, a convex plate 9 is symmetrically arranged on one side of the connector 7. After the bracket handle 1 is inserted into the connector 7, it fits against the inner side of the convex plate 9. A positioning bolt 10 is threadedly connected to one side of the connector 7. By rotating the positioning bolt 10, the positioning bolt 10 will press the bracket handle 1 against the side of the operating table for fixation.

[0036] The upper end of the support handle 1 is equipped with a U-shaped support 2. The U-shaped support 2 is 18 cm long, 8 cm wide, 5 cm thick, and 15 cm deep. The U-shaped support 2 is made of sponge leather. The sponge core provides soft support and reduces pressure points on the arm, allowing the patient to maintain a relatively comfortable position even during long surgeries. The leather outer layer is easier to clean and disinfect than other fabrics, which is very important for the hospital environment because it can effectively reduce the risk of cross-infection. Cleaning can be completed quickly with appropriate disinfectants, ensuring that every patient uses clean and hygienic equipment.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, a restraint strap 3 is provided at one end of the U-shaped bracket 2. After the patient's upper arm is bound with a tourniquet, it is placed inside the U-shaped bracket 2. The restraint strap 3 passes through the fixing hole 4 opened on the U-shaped bracket 2 and then folds back to fix the patient's upper arm to the U-shaped bracket 2, so that the patient's upper arm extends out to the side of the operating table and the forearm hangs naturally beside the operating table. This device reliably fixes the patient's upper arm, minimizes obstruction of the upper arm, increases the disinfection range and surgical range of the upper arm, increases the safety of the surgical operation, and facilitates the operation.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, hook and loop fasteners 5 and loop fasteners 6 are respectively provided on one side of the restraint strap 3. When the restraint strap 3 is folded back, the hook and loop fasteners 5 and loop fasteners 6 are glued together, which improves the effect of fixing the patient's upper arm.

[0039] In summary, the working principle of the elbow arthroscopy positioning support according to this utility model embodiment is as follows: the connector 7 is fixed to the edge of the operating table through the through hole 8, and the vertical support handle 1 is inserted into the connector 7. The positioning bolt 10 is rotated to fix the support handle 1. At this time, the patient is in a lateral decubitus position, and the upper arm root is placed in the U-shaped support 2 after a tourniquet is tied around it. The restraint strap 3 attached to the U-shaped support 2 passes through the fixing hole 4 on the U-shaped support 2 and is folded back to fix the patient's upper arm root in the U-shaped support 2. The patient's upper arm extends out to the side of the operating table, and the forearm hangs naturally beside the operating table. This makes the patient positioning for elbow arthroscopy simple and convenient, provides reliable fixation for the patient's upper arm, minimizes obstruction of the upper arm, increases the disinfection range and surgical range of the upper arm, increases the safety of the surgical operation, and facilitates the operation.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
