[0002] With the advancement of technology, various orthopedic fluoroscopy machines and robotic surgical arms are widely used in clinical practice. While these devices provide convenience for orthopedic surgery, they also bring unavoidable hazards of ionizing radiation to patients.

[0003] In related techniques, lead blankets and lead aprons are typically used to cover patients during surgery to protect them from radiation from various devices. However, if the surgery is prolonged, patients may experience intolerance, shortness of breath, or other discomfort, which is detrimental to their health and may even affect the normal progress of the surgery. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to at least address some of the deficiencies mentioned in the background art, this application provides a radiation protection bracket and an operating table.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a radiation shielding bracket for use on an operating table. The radiation shielding bracket includes a connector and a support. The connector is disposed on the operating table. The support is rotatably mounted on the connector at one end away from the operating table. The support includes a support plate with a plurality of through holes evenly distributed on it, and the distance between any one of the through holes and the adjacent through holes is the same.

[0006] Furthermore, the support member includes at least two support plates, each of which can be connected to another support plate through the through hole.

[0007] Furthermore, the support plate is provided with a snap-fit ​​portion facing the connector, the support plate is snapped onto the connector through the snap-fit ​​portion, and the support plate is movable relative to the connector.

[0008] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​portion includes a snap-fit ​​ring and a support rod, the support rod being disposed on the support plate, and the snap-fit ​​ring being disposed on the end of the support rod away from the support plate. The snap-fit ​​ring is configured as a C-shaped ring, and the connector includes a straight rod, with the C-shaped ring snapped onto the straight rod.

[0009] Furthermore, at least two support rods are provided on the support plate, and the two support rods are arranged symmetrically.

[0010] Furthermore, multiple wire grooves are evenly distributed on the support rod.

[0011] Furthermore, a fastener is provided at the opening of the C-ring, with one end of the fastener located on one side of the opening of the C-ring and the other end of the fastener located on the other side of the C-ring.

[0012] Furthermore, the support plate is configured as a rectangular plate, and the short side of the rectangular plate is provided with at least three through holes, and the long side of the rectangular plate is provided with at least six through holes; the short side of the support plate can be connected to the short side of another support plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the short side of the support plate can be connected to the long side of another support plate away from the connector, and can be connected to any position on the long side of the support plate.

[0014] This application also provides an operating table, including a bed body and a radiation shielding bracket as described in any one of the above; the connecting member in the radiation shielding bracket is disposed at the head of the bed body.

[0015] With the above technical solution, when the patient is lying on the operating table for surgery, the support can be rotated to a suitable angle so that the support plate can cover the part of the patient to be protected without contacting the patient's body. Then, the lead apron or lead blanket required during the operation can be draped over the support plate to protect the patient.

[0026] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] This application provides a radiation protection bracket to solve the problem in related technologies where lead aprons or lead blankets placed on patients during surgery can easily cause patient intolerance or shortness of breath.

[0028] Please see Figure 1A radiation shielding bracket is used on an operating table. The bracket includes a connector 100 and a support 200. The connector 100 is disposed on the operating table. The support 200 is rotatably mounted on the connector 100 at the end away from the operating table. The support 200 includes a support plate 210, on which a plurality of through holes 211 are evenly distributed, and the distance between any one through hole 211 and its adjacent counterpart is the same.

[0029] Specifically, in using this embodiment, the patient lies on the operating table, and then the support member 200 is rotated so that the support plate 210 is rotated to a suitable angle to shield the areas of the patient that need to be covered, ensuring that the support plate 210 does not come into contact with the patient. After the support plate 210 has been rotated, a lead blanket or lead apron is placed over the support plate 210, which means the lead blanket or lead apron is placed over the patient to protect them from radiation generated by the surgical equipment.

[0030] A lead blanket or lead apron covers the support plate 210, meaning the lead blanket or lead apron will not come into direct contact with the patient. This avoids patient intolerance or shortness of breath, reduces patient discomfort during surgery, and allows the patient to undergo surgery in a relatively more comfortable state, thus ensuring the surgical outcome.

[0031] In this embodiment, the support plate 210 has multiple through holes 211. This ensures that when a lead blanket or lead apron is placed on the support plate 210, it will not obstruct the patient's normal breathing. Furthermore, during surgery, patients typically require external assistance such as ventilators and vital sign monitoring equipment to ensure their condition remains stable and can be monitored in real time. The tubing and wiring of these devices, which need to be attached to the patient's body, can pass through the through holes 211. This not only secures the components but also makes them easy to use, improving the practicality of this embodiment.

[0032] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the support member 200 includes at least two support plates 210, and each support plate 210 can be connected to another support plate 210 through a through hole 211. Thus, when using this embodiment, depending on the area the patient needs to cover or the patient's body shape, the support plate 210 can be arbitrarily connected to another support plate 210, thereby expanding the area that the support plate 210 can cover. This allows this embodiment to be used in any surgery for any patient, improving its practicality.

[0033] Of course, the support plates 210 can be spliced ​​together. In other words, in actual use, there is no limitation on the connection method or number of support plates 210. Two, three, four or even more support plates 210 can be connected as needed to ensure comprehensive shielding of the patient and to ensure the radiation protection effect of this embodiment.

[0034] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a snap-fit ​​portion 220 is provided on the support plate 210 facing the connector 100. The support plate 210 is snapped onto the connector 100 via the snap-fit ​​portion 220, and the support plate 210 is movable relative to the connector 100. The movable nature of the support plate 210 relative to the connector 100 means that its position can be adjusted according to actual surgical needs or patient position. For example, the area that the lead apron needs to cover may differ in different surgical scenarios, and the mobility of the support plate 210 ensures that it is always in the optimal position. Patients' body types, heights, and surgical sites may vary; the mobility and modularity of the support plate 210 allow this embodiment to better adapt to the needs of different patients.

[0035] The support plate 210 is connected to the connector 100 via the snap-fit ​​part 220. This structure is not only simple and reliable, but also ensures the stability of the support plate 210 after it has been adjusted to the appropriate position. Compared to a fixed design, the snap-fit ​​part 220, combined with its movable function, can firmly lock the support plate 210 after adjustment, thereby reducing possible shaking or displacement during surgery and preventing accidents from affecting the surgical procedure. Furthermore, the design of the snap-fit ​​part 220 allows the support plate 210 to be quickly installed onto the connector 100 without complicated tools or procedures, improving the efficiency of surgical preparation. After the surgery, the support plate 210 can be easily removed for cleaning or disinfection for use by other patients, meeting the hygiene requirements of a medical environment.

[0036] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the snap-fit ​​part 220 includes a snap-fit ​​ring 221 and a support rod 222. The support rod 222 is mounted on the support plate 210, and the snap-fit ​​ring 221 is located on the end of the support rod 222 away from the support plate 210. The snap-fit ​​ring 221 is a C-shaped ring, and the connector 100 includes a straight rod, with the C-shaped ring snapping onto the straight rod. Dividing the snap-fit ​​part 220 into two parts, the snap-fit ​​ring 221 and the support rod 222, and using the C-shaped ring to engage with the straight rod, makes the entire structure more modular, facilitating separate manufacturing and assembly. Furthermore, the C-shaped ring and the straight rod have simple shapes and mature processing technology, effectively reducing production costs.

[0037] Furthermore, since the C-ring is engaged with the straight rod, the support plate 210 can slide or rotate freely along the straight rod via the support rod 222, thereby achieving multi-directional position adjustment. This makes adjusting the position of the support plate 210 on the connector 100 simpler and more convenient. Regarding stability, by adjusting the opening size or material of the C-ring, sufficient friction can be provided while ensuring flexibility of movement, ensuring that the support plate 210 remains stable after being adjusted to the appropriate position.

[0038] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, at least two support rods 222 are provided on the support plate 210, and the two support rods 222 are symmetrically arranged. The symmetrical arrangement of the two support rods 222 ensures that the weight and external forces of the support plate 210, such as the pressure of lead aprons or lead blankets, as well as the pressure of various pipelines and monitoring equipment, are evenly distributed on the connector 100, avoiding tilting or deformation caused by single-point force. The symmetrical design of the support rods 222 can also effectively prevent the support plate 210 from tipping over or rotating during use, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure.

[0039] The symmetrical arrangement of the two support rods 222 allows for more precise control of the position and angle of the support plate 210, avoiding deviations caused by single-point adjustments. The symmetrical design also makes the support plate 210 more stable when moving or rotating, ensuring that it always remains horizontal and better adapts to surgical needs.

[0040] Understandably, depending on the size of the support plate 210 and the actual load-bearing capacity, the support rods 222 can also be set to four, six, or other symmetrical positions to ensure that the support plate 210 has sufficient load-bearing capacity and sufficient stability.

[0041] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, multiple cable trays 223 are evenly distributed on the support rod 222. The cable trays 223 can centrally store the cables of various surgical instruments on the support rod 222, preventing cables from being scattered on the operating table or in the surrounding space, thereby improving the cleanliness of the surgical environment. After the cables are orderly inserted into the cable trays 223, it can effectively prevent the cables of various instruments from becoming tangled or knotted, avoiding interference with surgical operations due to cable disorder. By standardizing the cable layout, the chance of cables coming into contact with the operating table or floor can also be reduced, thereby lowering the risk of cross-infection.

[0042] For patients, securing the cable in the cable tray 223 prevents the cable from pressing directly on their body, reducing discomfort. The cable tray 223 also helps to fix the cable's position, preventing unnecessary irritation or injury to the patient due to cable movement or pulling.

[0043] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, a fastener is installed at the opening of the C-ring. One end of the fastener is located on one side of the opening of the C-ring, and the other end is located on the other side of the C-ring. By adjusting the size of the opening of the C-ring using the fastener, it is ensured that the C-ring is securely engaged with the straight rod, preventing the C-ring from loosening due to vibration or external force. The adjustability of the fastener allows the C-ring to adapt to straight rods of different diameters, enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the equipment.

[0044] In this embodiment, the fastener is set as a fastening bolt. When needed, the fastening bolt is loosened, the C-ring is loosened, and the position or angle of the support plate 210 is adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, the fastening bolt is tightened again to achieve precise positioning. At the same time, the fastening force provided by the fastening bolt also ensures that the support plate 210 will not move unexpectedly due to external shaking or touching, thus improving the reliability of this embodiment.

[0045] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figure 2 As shown, the support plate 210 is a rectangular plate, with at least three through holes 211 on its short side and at least six through holes 211 on its long side. The short side of the support plate 210 can be connected to the short side of another support plate 210. By connecting the short sides of the support plate 210 to the short sides of other support plates 210, multiple support plates 210 can be spliced ​​together, thereby flexibly expanding the support area according to actual needs. This modular design allows the device to adapt to patients of different body types or to meet the needs of larger lead apron coverage areas.

[0046] The rectangular plate has at least three through holes 211 on its short side and at least six through holes 211 on its long side. This layout ensures that the through holes 211 are evenly distributed, resulting in a more balanced pressure distribution when the support plate 210 supports the lead apron. The design of the number and position of the through holes 211 avoids deformation or damage caused by single-point stress, improving the durability of the support plate 210. In addition, by providing multiple through holes 211 on the support plate 210, the overall weight of the support plate 210 can be significantly reduced, facilitating installation, disassembly, and relocation.

[0047] Understandably, the presence of the through hole 211 facilitates air circulation, prevents a stuffy environment from forming under the support plate 210, maintains the comfort of the operating table area, and also allows for smoother airflow under the lead apron, further reducing the patient's pressure and preventing the patient from experiencing intolerance or shortness of breath.

[0048] Furthermore, the numerous through holes 211 (at least three on the short side and at least six on the long side) provide more connection points for the support plates 210 to be spliced ​​together, allowing the operator to choose the appropriate fixing method as needed. The through hole 211 design can accommodate different connectors 100 or fixing devices. For example, in this embodiment, connecting pins can be inserted into the through holes 211 for connection, or bolts, nuts, or even wire connectors 100 can be used, enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the equipment.

[0049] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figure 3 As shown, the short side of the support plate 210 can be connected to the long side of another support plate 210 away from the connector 100, and can also be connected to any position on the long side of the support plate 210. This allows for diverse connection methods in this embodiment, permitting connection between the short and long sides at any position, greatly increasing the combination possibilities between the support plates 210, and enabling flexible adjustment of the layout of the support plates 210 according to actual needs.

[0050] For example, during upper or lower limb surgery, the short side of one support plate 210 is connected to the long side of another support plate 210, so that the two support plates 210 form a T shape. This can effectively shield the thyroid and breast of the patient's upper body, as well as the uterus and ovaries of women, and the prostate and testicles of men. A lead apron or lead blanket is draped over the support plate 210 to prevent important parts from being affected by radiation.

[0051] It should be noted that the flexible splicing method allows for further functional expansion, such as adding additional support areas or integrating other medical devices. Alternatively, multiple support plates 210 can be arbitrarily expanded and connected when needed, and when not needed, multiple support plates 210 can be stacked together, reducing the space required for storage. This makes this embodiment suitable for different types and scales of surgery, enhancing the versatility and practicality of the equipment.

[0052] This application also provides an operating table, including a bed body and a radiation shielding bracket of any one of the above; the connector 100 in the radiation shielding bracket is disposed at the head of the bed body.

[0053] The operating table in this embodiment has the radiation protection bracket described in any of the above embodiments, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the radiation protection bracket, which will not be repeated here.

[0054] In this embodiment, when a radiation shielding bracket is required, the support plate 210 is adjusted to a suitable angle and, according to the needs of the surgery, extended and expanded accordingly. A lead apron can then be draped over the support plate 210 to shield the patient and prevent radiation exposure. The connector 100 is located at the head of the bed, facilitating the support plate 210's shielding of vital areas such as the patient's heart, thyroid gland, and breast, ensuring the practicality of this embodiment.

[0055] Of course, depending on the actual surgical needs, the connector 100 can also be placed at any position on the bed, as long as it can completely shield the patient's important parts and prevent the patient from being affected by radiation.

[0056] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0057] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
