Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an adjustable body position fixation device for hunchback patients. Background Technology

[0002] In radiotherapy, to ensure treatment precision, protect normal tissues, and improve efficacy, fixation devices are needed to immobilize the patient's body. Thermoplastic film combined with expanding foam is a commonly used fixation method. Thermoplastic film softens and becomes transparent when heated in 70°C hot water or an electric oven, allowing for moderate stretching and shaping. After cooling, it retains its shape at room temperature. Thermoplastic film exhibits low shrinkage upon cooling and high strength after shaping. Expanding foam is a material used for body immobilization, formed by the reaction of chemical substances to create a solidified foam pad. Its active foaming and expansion fills the gap between the foam pad and the body.

[0003] In existing technologies, for patients with kyphosis, a relief groove is usually set on the surface of the fixation device to provide room for the patient's back. However, the size of the groove in existing devices is fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the degree of kyphosis. This can easily result in a large amount of remaining space in the groove, requiring more expanding foam and wasting materials.

[0004] Therefore, we propose an adjustable posture fixation device for kyphotic patients. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where the slot size of the device is fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the degree of kyphosis of the patient, which easily results in a large remaining space in the slot, requiring the use of more expanding foam and wasting materials. Therefore, this invention proposes an adjustable position fixation device for kyphotic patients.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An adjustable posture fixation device for kyphotic patients includes:

[0008] A base, wherein a clearance groove is provided through the surface of the base;

[0009] The pillow pad is slidably connected to the rectangular groove of the base, and the bottom of the pillow pad is provided with a lifting mechanism;

[0010] Movable plates, two of which are rotatably connected to the mounting slots on both sides of the clearance groove via a rotating shaft;

[0011] A skateboard is slidably connected to one end of the movable board;

[0012] A connecting plate is rotatably connected between the two opposing sliding plates;

[0013] An adjustment mechanism, located at the bottom of the movable plate, is used to adjust the distance between the movable plate and the sliding plate;

[0014] Enclosure panel, provided on the surface of the base;

[0015] Foamed plastic bags are placed inside the enclosure panel;

[0016] A thermoplastic film is disposed on the surface of the foamed plastic bag;

[0017] The adjustment mechanism drives the slide plate to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the connecting plate and the patient's back and reducing the space required for foam filling.

[0018] In one possible design, the lifting mechanism includes a fixed block and a first screw;

[0019] The fixing block is fixed between the inner walls of both sides of the rectangular groove;

[0020] The first screw rotates through the fixing block and is threadedly connected to the pillow pad plate;

[0021] The first screw is rotated to drive the pillow pad to rise and fall.

[0022] In one possible design, the adjusting mechanism includes a connecting sleeve and a second screw;

[0023] The connecting sleeve is fixed to the bottom of the movable plate;

[0024] The second screw is rotatably connected to the bottom of the slide plate and threadedly connected to the connecting sleeve;

[0025] The second screw is rotated to drive the slide plate to slide along the movable plate.

[0026] In one possible design, adjusting blocks are fixed to both the outer wall of the second screw and the bottom end of the first screw;

[0027] Quick operation is achieved by rotating the adjustment block.

[0028] In one possible design, the surface edge of the base is provided with multiple threaded holes;

[0029] The outer wall of the enclosure is provided with a plurality of first bolts, the first bolts being adapted to the threaded holes;

[0030] The first bolt secures the enclosure to the base.

[0031] In one possible design, the edge of the thermoplastic film is fixed with an edge plate;

[0032] The surface of the edge plate is provided with a plurality of second bolts, which are adapted to the threaded holes;

[0033] The second bolt secures the thermoplastic film to the base.

[0034] One possible design also includes an arc plate;

[0035] Two positioning blocks are fixed on one side of the arc plate;

[0036] Two positioning grooves are provided on one side of the base, and the positioning block cooperates with the positioning grooves;

[0037] The positioning block is fitted into the positioning groove to install the arc plate.

[0038] In this application, during use, the patient sits on the bed, the base is placed vertically and fitted to the patient, so that the patient's back enters the clearance groove. Then, the first screw is rotated to move the pillow pad, so that the pillow pad first touches the patient's head, and then the adjustment is reversed so that the pillow pad moves away from the head, leaving a certain gap. The second screw is rotated to move the movable plate and the sliding plate relative to each other, thereby adjusting the gap between the connecting plate and the patient's back. The same operation is repeated. After appropriate adjustment, the base is placed flat, the arc plate is connected to the base, and the surrounding plate is fixed to the surface of the base using the first bolt. Then, a foam bag is laid on the surrounding plate, and foam is poured into the foam bag through the opening. Then, the patient lies down, so that the foam bag is pressed against the area near the head and shoulders. After the foam is formed, the surrounding plate is removed, the thermoplastic film is heated and softened in hot water, and then the thermoplastic film is placed on the patient's face and pressed down. The thermoplastic film conforms to the deformation of the human body. The second bolt is used to fix the thermoplastic film. After the thermoplastic film cools, it will maintain its shape. Finally, a patient information label is attached.

[0039] Beneficial effects: In this utility model, the adjustable body position fixing device for hunchback patients can adjust the position of the structure according to the degree of back bulge of the patient by setting up structures such as movable plate, sliding plate and connecting plate, reducing the distance between the structure and the patient's back, reducing the space for foam filling and reducing material consumption.

[0040] In this utility model, the adjustable body position fixing device for hunchback patients, through the setting of the first screw and the second screw and other structures, allows people to quickly and easily adjust the structure, which is simple and convenient to operate and takes little time.
