[0002] In the medical field, especially in surgery, rehabilitation care, and certain specialized examinations, abdominal restraint devices play a crucial role. In surgery, precise abdominal restraint effectively prevents patient movement from interfering with the procedure, ensuring its smooth execution. During rehabilitation, abdominal restraint devices assist patients in specific rehabilitation exercises, preventing wound dehiscence or other injuries caused by improper movements. When performing examinations such as MRI, which require high patient stability, restraint devices ensure the patient remains stable, reducing abdominal fluctuations caused by breathing and other factors, thereby improving image quality and ensuring accurate diagnosis.

[0003] Currently, various types of abdominal restraint tools exist on the market, such as surgical abdominal binders. These are typically made of soft fabric and have a relatively simple structure, primarily fixing the abdomen by wrapping around it. While this method has some application in providing protection and support after general abdominal surgery, it often falls short in complex cases or scenarios requiring high precision in fixation. An abdominal restraint belt for MRI examinations, with publication number CN209996320U, while effective in addressing artifacts and breathing difficulties during abdominal MRI examinations, can easily cause injury and increase suffering for patients with lumbar conditions.

[0004] Furthermore, traditional restraint tools generally suffer from poor material comfort, uneven pressure distribution leading to skin bruising and poor blood circulation during use, and their stability and flexibility in adapting to patients of different body types need improvement. In clinical practice, these problems not only affect patients' medical experience and rehabilitation outcomes but also hinder the work efficiency and operational accuracy of medical staff. Therefore, the development of a safer, more comfortable, more efficient, and more widely applicable abdominal restraint tool is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0032] 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.

[0033] This utility model provides an abdominal restraint tool, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes an abdominal pad 1, on which an abdominal restraint belt 2 is installed. The abdominal restraint belt 2 is used to bind to the patient's waist. The abdominal pad 1 is used to cover the patient's abdomen. One side of the abdominal restraint belt 2 is connected to a leg pad 3 via a connecting strap 5. A leg restraint belt 4 is installed on the leg pad 3. The leg pad 3 is used to cover the patient's groin. The bottom surface of the abdominal pad 1 has a flat structure.

[0034] In use, an abdominal restraint strap 2 is attached to the abdominal pad 1, which applies restraint around the patient's waist, fixing the abdominal pad 1 in place on the patient's abdomen. The abdominal pad 1 covers the abdomen, providing cushioning and protection. The connecting strap 5 connects the abdominal pad 1 to the leg pad 3, allowing them to work together. The leg pad 3 covers the patient's groin, providing multi-point restraint from the waist and groin. The flat bottom structure of the abdominal pad 1 conforms to the patient's abdomen and the bed surface, ensuring stability. This structural design creates a complete abdominal and leg restraint system, providing comprehensive and stable restraint for the patient's body, preventing movement during surgery, examinations, or rehabilitation training from affecting medical procedures, and ensuring the smooth progress of the medical process.

[0035] In this embodiment, both the abdominal restraint strap 2 and the leg restraint strap 4 can be secured to the operating table. During use, both the abdominal restraint strap 2 and the leg restraint strap 4 are secured to the operating table. Utilizing the fixed characteristics of the operating table, the patient's body is tightly connected to it, forming a stable whole and restricting the patient's displacement on the operating table. This structural design greatly enhances the stability and reliability of the restraint, further reducing the possibility of patient movement, providing a solid guarantee for surgical operations or examinations, and avoiding situations such as misoperation of surgical instruments or inaccurate examination results due to patient movement.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the abdominal pad 1 includes a waterproof sleeve 11 made of polyester fiber material with polyurethane coating. A support plate 13 is installed on the inner top wall of the waterproof sleeve 11. A soft pad 15 is provided below the support plate 13. The soft pad 15 is installed on the inner top and bottom walls of the waterproof sleeve 11. Several springs 14 are installed between the soft pad 15 and the support plate 13. The soft pad 15 is made of slow rebound memory foam and breathable mesh fabric. The slow rebound memory foam can conform to the patient's body contour and distribute pressure.

[0037] In use, the waterproof sleeve 11 of the abdominal pad 1 is made of polyurethane-coated polyester fiber material, which is waterproof and durable. The support plate 13 installed on its inner top wall provides rigid support. Several springs 14 are installed between the soft pad 15 below the support plate 13 and the support plate 13 to buffer vibration and pressure. The soft pad 15 is made of slow rebound memory foam and breathable mesh fabric. The slow rebound memory foam can adaptively conform to the patient's body contours, and the breathable mesh fabric ensures good breathability. This structural design not only provides reliable support for the patient's abdomen and prevents direct impact from external forces on the abdomen, but also avoids discomfort and damage to the patient's abdominal skin due to prolonged pressure and lack of breathability through pressure dispersion and good breathability, thus improving the patient's comfort and safety during use.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the top outer side of the waterproof sleeve 11 is fitted with two strap openings 12, and the end of the abdominal restraint strap 2 is used to pass through the two strap openings 12.

[0039] In use, the ends of the abdominal restraint belt 2 are passed through the two threading holes 12. The threading holes 12 guide and fix the position of the abdominal restraint belt 2, making the restraint belt installation more convenient and precise. This structural design allows medical staff to quickly and accurately install the abdominal restraint belt 2, while ensuring that the restraint belt remains stable during use and will not shift arbitrarily, thus ensuring the reliability of the restraint effect on the patient's waist.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the leg pad 3 has a long cylindrical structure and includes an outer cover 31. The surface of the outer cover 31 is used to fit the leg. The outer cover 31 is made of cotton blend fabric. An inner cover 33 is provided inside the outer cover 31. The end of the leg restraint strap is used to pass through the inside of the inner cover 33.

[0041] In use, the leg pad 3 is designed as a long cylindrical shape to easily fit the patient's thigh surface. Its outer cover 31 is made of cotton blend fabric, which is soft and skin-friendly, reducing skin irritation. The inner sleeve 33 is used to guide the leg restraint strap 4 through, and the inner sleeve 33 cooperates with the outer cover 31 to make the leg restraint strap 4 more securely fixed. This structural design restrains the patient's groin while minimizing damage to the patient's leg skin, ensuring the patient's leg comfort under restraint, and ensuring that the leg restraint strap 4 can effectively exert its restraining effect and maintain the stability of the restraint.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, a middle layer pad 32 is provided between the inner wall of the outer sleeve 31 and the outer wall of the inner sleeve 33. The middle layer pad 32 is made of medical-grade gel material.

[0043] When in use, the middle pad 32 is made of medical-grade gel material. Its excellent plasticity allows it to conform to the shape of the patient's leg, and its cushioning properties can distribute leg pressure. The cooling sensation of the gel also provides the patient with comfort. This structural design effectively relieves the pressure on the patient's legs caused by prolonged restraint by the leg restraint strap 4, reduces discomfort, and enhances the patient's user experience with its cooling sensation. This further improves the patient's comfort during the restraint process, reduces body twisting caused by discomfort, and ensures the restraint effect.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the inner wall of the inner sleeve 33 is provided with silicone anti-slip protrusions, and the inner sleeve 33 is made of nylon material. During use, the silicone anti-slip protrusions increase the friction with the leg restraint strap 4, preventing the restraint strap from slipping. The smooth surface of the nylon inner sleeve 33 facilitates the passage of the leg restraint strap 4, and it is also strong and corrosion-resistant. This structural design ensures that the leg restraint strap 4 remains in the predetermined position during use, stably exerting its restraining effect. At the same time, the material properties of the inner sleeve 33 make it durable, easy to clean and maintain daily, reduce usage costs, and extend product lifespan.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, both the abdominal pad 1 and the leg pad 3 have rounded edges. During use, the rounded edges of the abdominal pad 1 and leg pad 3 transform the originally sharp corners into arcs, reducing pressure when in contact with the patient's skin. This structural design effectively prevents the patient's skin from being scratched or damaged by the edges of the pads during use, comprehensively protecting the patient's skin safety and improving the patient's comfort and sense of security during use.

[0046] When using this abdominal restraint tool, medical staff first prepare the operating table or examination equipment, and then take out the abdominal restraint tool. The abdominal pad 1 is placed in a suitable position on the patient's abdomen. Because the bottom of the abdominal pad 1 has a flat structure, it can closely conform to the patient's abdomen and the bed surface, ensuring stable placement. Next, the abdominal restraint strap 2 is passed through the two strap openings 12 on the outer top of the waterproof sleeve 11, wrapped around the patient's waist, and then secured to the operating table. Using the fixing effect of the operating table, the patient's waist is initially connected to the bed frame, restricting waist movement.

[0047] The leg pad 3 is pulled to the patient's groin using the connecting strap 5. The long cylindrical structure of the leg pad 3 can fit and wrap the thigh well. The leg restraint strap 4 is passed through the inner sleeve 33. The silicone anti-slip protrusions on the inner wall of the inner sleeve 33 prevent the leg restraint strap 4 from sliding and ensure its stable position. Then, the leg restraint strap 4 is tied to the operating table. Together with the abdominal restraint strap 2 at the waist, it achieves multi-point restraint of the patient's body from the waist and groin, making the patient's body and the operating table a stable whole, effectively limiting the patient's displacement on the operating table or examination equipment.

[0048] During restraint, the abdominal pad 1 plays a crucial role in providing support and comfort. The waterproof sleeve 11, made of polyurethane-coated polyester fiber, is waterproof, durable, and protects the internal structure. The support plate 13 provides rigid support, while the spring 14 between the soft pad 15 and the support plate 13 cushions external vibrations and pressure. The soft pad 15, composed of slow-rebound memory foam and breathable mesh fabric, adapts to the contours of the patient's abdomen, evenly distributing pressure. At the same time, the breathable mesh fabric ensures good breathability, preventing discomfort or damage to the patient's abdominal skin due to prolonged pressure and lack of ventilation.

[0049] The leg pads 3 also prioritize comfort. The outer layer 31, made of a soft, skin-friendly cotton blend, is gentle on the patient's skin. The middle layer 32, made of medical-grade gel material, offers excellent plasticity and cushioning properties, evenly distributing pressure on the patient's legs, and its cooling effect enhances the user experience. The inner layer 33, made of smooth nylon, facilitates the insertion of the leg restraint straps 4 and is strong, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean and maintain. These three components work together to effectively restrain the legs while minimizing discomfort caused by prolonged restraint.

[0050] After use, medical staff untie the abdominal restraint strap 2 and leg restraint strap 4, and remove the abdominal restraint tool. Due to the material properties of each component, such as the corrosion-resistant nylon material of the inner sleeve 33, the tool can be easily cleaned and disinfected, preparing it for future use. Throughout the process, the abdominal restraint tool, through the coordinated work of its components, achieves stable restraint of the patient's body, ensuring the smooth progress of medical procedures, while also fully considering the patient's comfort and safety, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0051] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model.
