Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of medical devices, and in particular relates to a floating rod for oxygen supply during underwater rehabilitation. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of rehabilitation medicine, aquatic rehabilitation has been widely used in the treatment of various diseases, especially sports injuries, joint diseases, and neurological disorders. Aquatic exercise therapy utilizes the properties of water to allow patients to perform targeted exercises in the water to improve function or alleviate symptoms. It provides good buoyancy and resistance, reducing the load on joints, muscles, and bones, while increasing comfort and safety. Furthermore, it can improve patients' cardiopulmonary function, motor coordination, and balance.

[0003] Oxygen therapy is a method that improves the balance between oxygen supply and demand by providing patients with additional oxygen. Oxygen therapy can increase patients' exercise endurance and muscle strength, improving exercise performance. Furthermore, oxygen therapy can promote oxygen transport and utilization, increase energy production efficiency, and reduce lactic acid buildup. It is considered an effective adjunctive therapy and has become one of the commonly used treatment methods in rehabilitation.

[0004] During aquatic exercise training, patients experience significant physical exertion, increasing their oxygen demand. However, the relatively enclosed environment and high humidity of the hydrotherapy room prevent the normal oxygen concentration in the air from meeting their needs. Therefore, additional oxygen supply is required during training to satisfy these requirements. Currently available oxygen supply devices, such as portable oxygen concentrators and cylinders, are designed for land use and lack waterproofing, making them unsuitable for underwater use. Placing an oxygen concentrator on land requires a long pipeline to supply air into the water. This not only limits the patient's underwater range of motion and increases the risk of pipeline entanglement, but the excessively long pipeline also increases inhalation resistance, reducing the device's flow output efficiency. Carrying oxygen cylinders underwater significantly increases weight and volume, contradicting the flexibility requirements of aquatic training, and the airtightness of the cylinders may be challenged in the underwater environment. Therefore, existing oxygen therapy devices on the market cannot meet the needs of patients who require flexible aquatic training while receiving oxygen. Utility Model Content

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0031] See Figures 1 to 4 This application provides an underwater rehabilitation oxygen supply float, comprising:

[0032] The main body 1 includes a buoyancy member 11 and an oxygen layer 12 disposed on the surface of the buoyancy member 11. The buoyancy member 11 is configured to generate at least buoyancy that allows the patient to float in water. The oxygen layer 12 stores oxygen. The two ends of the main body 1 are detachably connected.

[0033] Oxygen supply line 2 is connected to oxygen layer 12 and is used to deliver oxygen from the oxygen layer to the patient.

[0034] In one example, the buoyancy component 11 is a foamed polyethylene buoyancy component.

[0035] In one example, the buoyancy member 11 is cylindrical, with a cross-sectional diameter of 7cm to 10cm and a length of 120cm to 160cm.

[0036] As an example, the buoyancy component is a cylinder with a diameter of 8cm and a length of 140cm, made of low-density expanded polyethylene (EPE) material. It is directly cut and molded, making it lightweight, waterproof, and providing long-lasting buoyancy. This airless buoyancy component can be inserted into the oxygen layer through the zipper opening at the sealed edge and then pulled up by the zipper to secure it within the oxygen layer. This design allows the airless buoyancy component to maintain stable buoyancy even when the oxygen in the oxygen layer is depleted, ensuring the safety of patient training.

[0037] In one example, the oxygen layer 12 is arranged around the buoyancy member, and connecting structures 122 are provided on opposite sides of the oxygen layer 12 to fix the oxygen layer to the surface of the buoyancy member 11.

[0038] In one example, the connection structure 122 is a zipper.

[0039] The oxygen layer 12 is a double-cylindrical design. The outer layer is a cylinder with a diameter of 10cm and a length of 150cm, and the inner layer is a cylinder with a diameter of 8cm and a length of 140cm. Both layers are made of medical-grade polyvinyl chloride (PVC). A 2cm wide locking seal part 121 is set at the edge joint of the long axis of the double-cylinder. This design makes the oxygen layer seamlessly connected and has good airtightness. The sealing parts on both sides are connected by zippers.

[0040] In one example, the two ends of the main body 1 are fixed by snap fasteners.

[0041] In one example, a first buckle 13 is provided on one side of the main body 1, and a second buckle 14 is provided on the other side of the main body;

[0042] The first buckle 13 is connected to one end of the main body 1 via the first connecting strap 131, and the second buckle 14 is connected to the other end of the main body via the second connecting strap 141; the first connecting strap 131 and / or the second connecting strap 141 are adjustable length connecting straps.

[0043] As an example, the second connecting belt is a connecting belt with adjustable length, and a length adjusting member 142 is provided thereon.

[0044] The first buckle and the second buckle are designed as plastic (polypropylene PP) buckles. High-strength and wear-resistant polyester materials are connected to both sides of the buckle to form a connecting belt, which is fixed at both ends of the cylinder outside the oxygen layer. A "day" type buckle is installed on the connecting belt, and the length of the connecting belt can be adjusted slidably, and the patient can adjust according to personal needs. When the buckle is untied, the patient can place the floating rod under the armpit for training; when the buckle is connected, the patient can lie on the floating rod for training to meet the patient's multi-position movement needs in water.

[0045] In one example, the oxygen supply pipeline 2 includes:

[0046] A catheter interface 21, a catheter 22, a catheter plug 23, an oxygen flow regulator 24, and a nasal oxygen tube 25;

[0047] The catheter interface 21 is arranged on the surface of the oxygen layer 12; one end of the catheter 22 is communicated with the catheter interface 21, and the other end is communicated with the nasal oxygen tube 25 or blocked by the catheter plug 23.

[0048] The catheter interface 21 is made of lightweight and durable polypropylene (PP) material, with low cost, wear resistance, and is suitable for repeated plugging and unplugging; it is located outside the oxygen layer, at the midpoint of the long axis of the cylinder, and the upper end is connected to the proximal rubber catheter port.

[0049] The catheter 22 is made of medical silicone material, with high safety, soft and not easy to deform, and is a channel for transporting oxygen. The inner diameter is 5 mm, the outer diameter is 7 mm, and the length is 20 cm. The proximal end is connected to the catheter interface at the upper end of the oxygen layer. The distal end can be connected to the nasal oxygen tube 25 during use, and is blocked by the catheter plug 23 when not in use. When replenishing oxygen, it is connected to the hospital centralized oxygen supply system by using an oxygen flow meter.

[0050] The catheter plug 23 is made of polypropylene (PP) material, with a T-shaped design. The top end is connected to the fixing ring by means of a connecting wire to prevent the plug from being lost.

[0051] In one example, a storage bag 123 is arranged on the surface of the oxygen layer 12 for storing the catheter 22, the catheter plug 23 and its connecting wire.

[0052] The storage bag 123 is 12 cm long and 6 cm wide, and is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material. The edge of the storage bag is closely fitted to the outer surface of the oxygen layer, and is designed with an opening on one side close to the rubber catheter, and can store the rubber catheter, the catheter plug and its connecting wire. There is a fixing ring at the bottom end of the storage bag, the connecting wire of the plug is connected to the fixing ring, and the other end of the connecting wire is connected to the plug to prevent the plug from falling and being lost.

[0053] In one example, an oxygen flow regulator 24 is provided on the catheter 22.

[0054] The oxygen flow regulator 24 is made of lightweight and durable polypropylene. It is fitted over a rubber tube and the oxygen flow is adjusted by mechanically squeezing the rubber tube through a pulley in the middle.

[0055] In one example, the nasal oxygen tube 25 includes an oxygen supply main 251 for communication with the catheter 22. One end of the oxygen supply main 251 is connected to the catheter 22 via a connector 252. The other end of the oxygen supply main 251 is divided into two connected oxygen supply branches 254 by a connector 253. A sliding member 255 is provided on the oxygen supply branch 254 to slide on the oxygen supply branch 254, thereby tightening the oxygen supply branch 254 (so that the oxygen supply branch is arranged around the patient's head). An air outlet 256 is provided on the oxygen supply branch 254, and the air outlet 256 is arranged corresponding to the patient's nose, thereby supplying oxygen to the patient.

[0056] The water-based oxygen supply float is used by... Figure 1 The shape passes under the patient's armpit, wraps around the patient, and is secured with a buckle, forming a shape like... Figure 2 The shape shown.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the technical solution provided in this application makes the following contributions:

[0058] 1. An inflatable oxygen layer was designed, made of medical-grade polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which has excellent airtightness and ensures effective storage and release of oxygen.

[0059] 2. It features an airless buoyancy component made of low-density expanded polyethylene (EPE) to ensure the device is lightweight and provides long-lasting buoyancy, enhancing patient comfort and safety in the water.

[0060] 3. A fixing strap was designed to accommodate the patient's needs for various body positions in the water.

[0061] 4. The oxygen delivery channel is made of medical-grade silicone rubber tubing, ensuring safety and flexibility. It is also designed with tubing interfaces and oxygen flow regulators to facilitate the adjustment of oxygen flow and meet the needs of different patients.

[0062] 5. A storage bag is provided to facilitate the storage of rubber tubing, plugs, and their connecting wires, preventing loss and improving the convenience of the equipment.
