[0002] In the medical field, a suitable positioning pad is crucial for the care and rehabilitation of patients with upper limb fractures. Early positioning pads were mostly made of hard materials, which caused concentrated pressure on the area where the patient's arm contacted the pad, resulting in extremely poor comfort. Prolonged use of such hard positioning pads can easily cause discomfort such as pressure marks and pain on the patient's arm, and may even increase the risk of pressure sores, causing additional pain to the patient and hindering the recovery of the fracture site.
[0003] With the development of medical technology, some positioning pads have begun to use ordinary soft materials. However, these materials have poor support and are difficult to maintain a stable position. They cannot meet the needs of upper limb fracture patients for limb fixation and support during rehabilitation, and reduce the comfort of patients when using them. Therefore, a disposable upper limb fracture water pillow-type positioning pad is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a disposable upper limb fracture water-filled positioning pad, comprising a pad body 1 made of the same flexible material as medical latex gloves. The pad is soft and conforms closely to the curve of the arm, reducing pressure points when the arm contacts the pad, thus preventing discomfort and pressure sores caused by excessive local pressure. When filled with water, the pad utilizes the soft properties of water to provide gentle and even support to the arm, simulating a natural and comfortable lifting sensation, improving patient comfort, helping to alleviate pain caused by upper limb fractures, and promoting rest and recovery. A frame 2 is fixedly connected to the corner of the body 1, which has a shaping function. When the body 1 is filled with water and supported, the frame 2 can maintain the shape of the body 1. At the same time, it is made of flexible material, so that the body 1 can be folded when not in use, which is convenient for transportation and storage. A connecting tube 3 is fixedly connected to the front right side of the body 1. When the body 1 is in a compressed state, water is injected into the body 1 through the connecting tube 3. The body 1, the frame 2 and the connecting tube 3 are made of flexible material. When the connecting tube 3 cooperates with the sealing plug 51, the deformation of the connecting tube 3 achieves the sealing effect. A sealing component 5 is provided on the outside of the connecting tube 3.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The sealing assembly 5 includes a sealing plug 51 for engaging with the inner wall of the connecting pipe 3 to seal the connecting pipe 3 and prevent liquid leakage. An auxiliary assembly 6 is provided at the front of the sealing plug 51, and two sets of sealing rings 52 are fixedly connected to the outer rear part of the sealing plug 51. The cross-section of the sealing rings 52 is trapezoidal. A sealing groove 53 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting pipe 3. The sealing rings 52 contact the inner wall of the sealing groove 53. The sealing rings 52 and the sealing groove 53 engage with each other, which can effectively enhance the sealing effect, ensure that the pad 1 maintains good airtightness during water filling, stably maintain the shape and function of the pad 1, and ensure the normal use of the positioning pad.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connecting tube 3 is slidably connected to the outer side by an auxiliary plate 4. The auxiliary plate 4 is long on both sides. When the sealing plug 51 is inserted into the connecting tube 3, the auxiliary plate 4 can play a role in auxiliary support and positioning, making it convenient for medical staff to operate by hand and improving the stability and accuracy of the operation process. The front radius of the connecting tube 3 is larger than the rear radius, which can prevent the auxiliary plate 4 from detaching. The auxiliary component 6 includes a groove 61 opened at the front of the sealing plug 51. The groove 61 provides storage space for the pull ring 62. The upper part of the groove 61 is rotatably connected to the pull ring 62. The ring pull ring 62 can be used to make it convenient for medical staff to pull the sealing plug 51. The side wall of the groove 61 is provided with a slot 63. The pull ring 62 is engaged in the inner wall of the slot 63. The slot 63 is set as an arc groove and is used to limit the pull ring 62.
[0033] Working principle: When using, medical staff first check whether all parts of the positioning pad are intact. After confirming that everything is correct, they use the long plate-like structure on the left and right sides of the auxiliary plate 4 for easy hand operation. At this time, the sealing plug 51 is inserted into the connecting tube 3. Pull the pull ring 62 to disengage it from the arc-shaped groove 63 in the front groove 61 of the sealing plug 51. Then pull the pull ring 62 forcefully to disengage the sealing ring 52 on the sealing plug 51 from the sealing groove 53 in the connecting tube 3, thereby disengaging the sealing plug 51 from the connecting tube 3. Afterwards, the pull ring 62 is re-inserted into the groove 63 for easy storage.
[0034] At this time, the medical staff held the auxiliary plate 4 and connected the connecting pipe 3 to the water injection device. Then, they turned on the water injection device and began to inject water into the pad 1. As the water was injected, the compressed pad 1 expanded and was shaped by the flexible material frame 2.
[0035] Once the pad 1 is filled with water to the appropriate level, medical staff hold the auxiliary plate 4, align the sealing plug 51 with the inside of the connecting tube 3 and squeeze it. The two sets of trapezoidal sealing rings 52 on the outer rear part of the sealing plug 51 engage with the sealing groove 53 on the inner wall of the connecting tube 3, further enhancing the sealing effect and effectively preventing liquid leakage.
[0036] After sealing, the patient's upper limb can be placed on pad 1. Pad 1 is made of the same flexible material as medical latex gloves, which can closely conform to the curve of the arm, reduce pressure points, and avoid excessive local pressure. The injected water uses its soft properties to provide gentle and even support for the arm, simulating a natural and comfortable lifting feeling, relieving the pain caused by the upper limb fracture, and promoting rest and recovery.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
