Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a device for preventing foot tilting and pressure sores in patients undergoing traction, specifically an auxiliary device for preventing foot tilting and pressure sores in patients undergoing lower limb traction. Background Technology

[0002] Lower limb traction is a commonly used preoperative treatment technique in orthopedics. After traction, the patient's lower limb is placed naturally and flat on the traction frame. Due to the relatively long traction time, the skin on the heel of the lower limb is prone to pressure sores due to the interaction of traction force and friction. Secondly, after traction, the lower limb is in an abducted position on the traction frame, which makes it easy for the tractioned lower limb to tilt, resulting in uneven force between the traction bow and traction pin, affecting the traction effect. In the process of preventing foot tilting and pressure sores in traction patients, anti-tilting and anti-pressure sore auxiliary devices are needed for correction. However, existing designs have not yet solved these problems, which cause harm to patients and bring difficulties to nursing care. Therefore, an anti-tilting and anti-pressure sore auxiliary device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an auxiliary device for preventing pressure sores in patients undergoing lower limb traction, including a base plate, a water bag, and a device to prevent the lower limb from tilting during traction. The base plate is open, the water bag is movable (its position can be adjusted to prevent pressure sores on the lower limb), and the device to prevent the lower limb from tilting during traction is U-shaped and made of a malleable material. By adjusting the position of the water bag and the shape of the device, the lower limb can be effectively kept in a neutral traction position, preventing pressure sores. This overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies, effectively solves the problem of tilting of the lower limb during traction, improves the traction effect, and also solves the problems of inconvenience in use and pressure sores on bony prominences of the lower limb.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A pressure ulcer prevention device for patients undergoing lower limb traction includes a base plate (1), a water bag (2), and a foot tilt prevention device for lower limb traction (3);

[0006] The bottom of the base plate (1) is open, and the water bag (2) can be fixedly or movably connected to its bottom.

[0007] The water bag (2) is a movable device whose shape and position can be adjusted to prevent pressure sores from being caused by traction on the lower limbs;

[0008] The bottom plate (1) is connected to the anti-lower limb traction foot tilting device (3) on both sides. The anti-lower limb traction foot tilting device (3) is provided with a fleece-lined cover on the inside and is connected by a zipper. Its interior is filled with height-adjustable filler (5).

[0009] Furthermore, the front and rear parts of the base plate (1) are connected to the water bag (2) by a fleece fabric and a polyethylene material, and the water bag (2) is rectangular in shape.

[0010] Furthermore, the water bag (2) is movable, and its height can be adjusted by injecting an appropriate amount of water through the water inlet (4) set on the base plate (1) to meet the needs of different patients, while also having the function of preventing pressure sores.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the anti-lower limb traction foot tilting device (3) is fixedly connected to the base plate (1) to ensure the stability of the device.

[0012] Furthermore, the anti-lower limb traction foot tilting device (3) is an open U-shaped device with a double zipper design to maintain its fixed stability. The inner liner is removable for easy cleaning and replacement of the filling material (5). The filling material (5) is preferably rice.

[0013] This invention provides an anti-tilting and anti-pressure sore assistive device for patients undergoing lower limb traction, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. It improves the tilt of the lower limbs of patients undergoing lower limb traction, bringing convenience to patients, and the adjustable water bag effectively prevents the occurrence of pressure sores on the lower limbs and ankles, thus making it convenient and widely used.

[0015] 2. By setting the height of the U-shaped anti-tilt device, the traction bow is completely attached to the tilting device (embedded), ensuring that the traction needle is fully supported. This prevents the patient from being pulled into an abducted position and causing the lower limbs to tilt, thus preventing the impact of traction. The flexible design of the filling material makes the device more convenient to use and more effective in achieving the purpose of traction.

[0016] 3. By setting the size of the water bag inside the base plate and the amount of water inside the water bag, it can be adjusted at will through the water inlet on the outside of the water bag during actual use, so as to be adjustable according to patients of different physiques, thereby effectively improving its range of use.

[0028] This technology relates to the field of preventing uneven traction force and pressure sores in patients undergoing lower limb traction, and specifically to an auxiliary device for preventing pressure sores in patients undergoing lower limb traction, including a base plate, a water bag, and a device to prevent the lower limb traction foot from tilting.

[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown,

[0030] A traction patient anti-pressure ulcer and anti-tilting auxiliary device includes a base plate 1. The side of the base plate 1 is set with an opening and double zipper. The interior of the base plate 1 is made of polyethylene material and is movably connected to an anti-lower limb traction foot tilting device 3. The anti-lower limb traction foot tilting device 3 is U-shaped.

[0031] The bottom of the base plate 1 is fixedly connected to the water bag 2. The water bag 2 is adjustable in height and can be adjusted according to the needs of the limb. The double zipper connection on the side of the base plate is a reserved water bag inlet 4. The water bag can be removed for cleaning and also prevents pressure sores.

[0032] The anti-traction foot tilting auxiliary device is made of a freely malleable material. The base plate 1 and the anti-lower limb traction foot tilting device 3 are connected movably. The anti-lower limb traction foot tilting device 3 has an inner liner design, which can be easily disassembled. This type of device achieves the traction of the patient into a neutral position, is easy to use, and is convenient to clean.

[0033] Working Principle: When using this device, the patient places the limb to be traction on the support.
