Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to an anti-aspiration pillow for stroke patients with dysphagia. Background Technology

[0002] Stroke, also known as apoplexy, is an acute cerebrovascular disease that often causes paralysis on one side of the body. Stroke patients are typically fed liquid foods via straws. However, the pillows currently used in hospital beds are ordinary pillows, which make it difficult for patients to turn their heads. Soft objects are usually placed on one side of the patient's head for support. This setup is prone to slipping and collapsing during liquid feeding, failing to effectively support the patient's head and causing swallowing difficulties. Therefore, to address these issues, we propose using an anti-aspiration pillow for stroke patients with swallowing difficulties. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, the main purpose of this utility model is to provide an anti-aspiration pillow for stroke patients with dysphagia. When the airbag in the corresponding position of the inflation device is activated, it can effectively support the patient's head on one side, causing the head to tilt to the side. At this time, the airbag is not prone to excessive misalignment and sliding, which can effectively prevent the patient from aspirating food and choking.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an anti-aspiration pillow for stroke patients with dysphagia. The anti-aspiration pillow is composed of a pillowcase, a pillow stuffing, and an expansion mechanism. The pillowcase is filled with a pillow stuffing for filling the pillowcase, and the pillow stuffing is filled with an expansion mechanism arranged symmetrically in front and behind.

[0005] Each side of the expansion mechanism is connected to a branch pipe, and the other end of the branch pipe is connected to a main pipe, and the other end of the main pipe is connected to an inflation device.

[0006] Furthermore, there are two sets of branch pipes, and each branch pipe is equipped with a solenoid valve on its outer side.

[0007] Furthermore, the pillowcase is designed with a triangular prism structure, and the upper surface of the pillowcase is sloping.

[0008] Furthermore, a concave gripping groove is provided at the upper part of the pillowcase.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the pillowcase is fitted with a flat anti-slip pad, and the bottom of the anti-slip pad has evenly distributed pleats.

[0010] Stroke, also known as apoplexy, is an acute cerebrovascular disease that often causes paralysis on one side of the body. Stroke patients are typically fed liquid foods through straws. However, the pillows used in hospital beds are often ordinary pillows, which make it difficult for patients to turn their heads. Soft objects are usually placed on one side of the patient's head for support. This setup is prone to slipping and collapsing during liquid feeding, failing to effectively support the patient's head. A self-expanding air bladder inside the pillowcase can be installed. When the patient is feeding, the air bladder in the corresponding position inflates, effectively supporting one side of the patient's head and allowing them to turn their head. This prevents the air bladder from excessively shifting and slipping, effectively preventing the patient from aspirating food and choking.

[0011] Furthermore, the expansion mechanism includes an air bladder disposed inside the pillow pouch, with a connecting tube connected to one side of the air bladder and the other end of the connecting tube connected to a branch pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, movable strips are installed on both sides below the airbag, which fit snugly against the outside of the airbag. Multiple sets of connecting ropes are installed radially on the outside of the movable strips, and the other end of the connecting ropes is fixedly connected to a fixing strip. The outside of the fixing strip is fixedly connected to the pillow skin.

[0013] Furthermore, both the moving strip and the fixing strip are made of soft rubber blocks.

[0014] Furthermore, when the airbag inflates, the fixing strips are located on both sides of the airbag.

[0015] When supporting the patient's head, the moving strips on both sides of the airbag are pulled to the sides by the connecting rope. This is used to limit the airbag and prevent it from becoming misaligned during long-term use, ensuring that the device can be used for a long time.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] An air bladder that can expand its volume adaptively is set inside the occipital skin. When the patient eats liquid food, the air bladder in the corresponding position is inflated by activating the inflation device. At this time, it can effectively support the patient's head on one side, allowing the head to turn to the side. At this time, the air bladder is not prone to excessive misalignment and slippage, which can effectively prevent the patient from aspirating food and choking.

[0018] When supporting the patient's head, the fixing strips on both sides of the airbag are pulled to the sides by the connecting rope. This is used to limit the airbag and prevent it from becoming misaligned during long-term use, ensuring that the device can be used for a long time. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0024] Example

[0025] For stroke patients with dysphagia, an anti-aspiration pillow is recommended, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, the anti-aspiration pillow consists of a pillowcase 1, a pillow stuffing 3, and an expansion mechanism 9. The pillowcase 1 is equipped with a pillow stuffing 3 for filling the pillowcase 1, and the pillow stuffing 3 is equipped with an expansion mechanism 9 arranged symmetrically in front and behind.

[0026] One side of the expansion mechanism 9 is connected to a branch pipe 7, and the other end of the branch pipe 7 is connected to a main pipe 6, and the other end of the main pipe 6 is connected to an inflation device 5.

[0027] There are two sets of branch pipes 7, and each branch pipe 7 is equipped with a solenoid valve 8 on its outer side.

[0028] The pillowcase 1 is designed with a triangular prism structure, and the upper surface of the pillowcase 1 is designed with an inclined surface.

[0029] A concave gripping groove 4 is provided at the upper part of the pillowcase 1.

[0030] The bottom of the pillowcase 1 is fitted with a flat anti-slip pad 2, and the bottom of the anti-slip pad 2 has evenly distributed pleats.

[0031] Stroke, also known as apoplexy, is an acute cerebrovascular disease that often causes paralysis on one side of the body. Stroke patients are typically fed liquid foods through a straw. However, the pillows used in hospital beds are ordinary pillows, which make it difficult for patients to turn their heads. Soft objects are usually placed on one side of the patient's head for support. This setup is prone to slipping and collapsing during liquid feeding, failing to effectively support the patient's head. An air bladder 901 that can adaptively expand its volume is installed inside the pillowcase 1. When the patient is feeding liquid foods, the air bladder 901 in the corresponding position of the inflation device 5 is inflated, effectively supporting one side of the patient's head and allowing them to turn their head to the side. At this time, the air bladder 901 is less likely to slip excessively, effectively preventing the patient from aspirating food and choking.

[0032] When in use, the inflation device 5 is activated, and air enters the airbag 901 through the main pipe 6 and the corresponding branch pipes 7. This inflates the airbag 901, enabling it to effectively support the patient's head. A gripping groove 4 is provided above the pillowcase 1, with an anti-slip layer inside, which can prevent the patient's head from sliding to a certain extent. The pillowcase 1 is tilted to conform to the curve of the patient's head when lying down, increasing comfort. The anti-slip pad 2 prevents the pillowcase 1 from moving.

[0033] The expansion mechanism 9 includes an air bladder 901 disposed inside the pillow 3. One side of the air bladder 901 is connected to a connecting tube 902, and the other end of the connecting tube 902 is connected to the branch tube 7.

[0034] On both sides below the airbag 901, there are movable strips 903 that fit against the outside of the airbag 901. Multiple sets of connecting ropes 904 are installed radially on the outside of the movable strips 903. The other end of the connecting ropes 904 is fixedly connected to a fixing strip 905. The outside of the fixing strip 905 is fixedly connected to the pillowcase 1.

[0035] Both the movable strip 903 and the fixed strip 905 are made of soft rubber blocks.

[0036] When the airbag 901 is inflated, the fixing strips 905 are located on both sides of the airbag 901.

[0037] When supporting the patient's head, the airbag 901 inflates. At this time, the moving strips 903 on both sides of the airbag 901 are pulled to both sides by the connecting rope 904. This is used to limit the airbag 901 and prevent it from being misaligned during long-term use, so as to ensure that the device can be used for a long time.

[0038] When the airbag 901 inflates, the maximum height of its occipital skin 1 is at a 30° angle to the horizontal plane, which is suitable for most hemiplegic patients. Before use, it can be pre-adjusted with 6 settings. At setting 1, the maximum height of the occipital skin 1 is at a 5° angle to the horizontal plane; at setting 2, it's at a 10° angle; and at setting 3, it's at a 15° angle. In setting 4, the pillowcase 1 is raised to a maximum angle of 20° with the horizontal plane; in setting 5, the pillowcase 1 is raised to a maximum angle of 25° with the horizontal plane; and in setting 6, the pillowcase 1 is raised to a maximum angle of 30° with the horizontal plane. For stroke patients or other patients with hemiplegia, the pillowcase 1 is made of silk, which is delicate and soft, with good moisture absorption and release properties, suitable for maintaining the metabolism of the skin's surface lipid film.

[0039] Both the movable strip 903 and the fixed strip 905 are made of soft rubber blocks, which ensures that hard objects do not cause discomfort to the patient's head during use.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
