Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a nursing pad, and in particular discloses a pressure ulcer prevention nursing pad. Background Technology

[0002] Existing pressure ulcer care pads typically employ a thickened soft pad or an inflatable pad structure. While thickened soft pads are convenient to use, they are inconvenient to clean and maintain. Although the thickness of inflatable pads can be adjusted by the amount of air, only minor adjustments can be made. The structure of existing inflatable pads usually consists of a base and an inflatable bladder directly connected. This connection is frequently subjected to pressure from inflation and deflation of air, as well as the body's pressure, leading to leaks after a period of use. Regular inspection and maintenance are necessary. Medical staff frequently inflate the pads with air pumps, which, due to excessive frequency, directly disrupts the rest of stroke patients. Furthermore, re-inflating the pads after partial leaks is ineffective, resulting in pressure ulcers caused by prolonged bed rest for stroke patients, and increasing the risk of redness and swelling due to urination and defecation.

[0003] At the same time, existing inflatable cushions have a large contact area with patients, making it impossible to provide targeted cushioning for specific areas during use, and their function is relatively limited. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects in the existing technology and provide a pressure ulcer care pad that provides multi-point support, reduces the impact of air leakage, and has a good support effect.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: an anti-pressure ulcer care pad includes a base plate, with surrounding barriers around the base plate, forming placement grooves between the barriers. A water-filled pad is placed on the bottom surface of the groove, with the water inlet of the water-filled pad fixed to one side of the barriers. A detachable air cushion is provided above the water-filled pad, with an inflation port and several evenly distributed air bladder protrusions on the upper surface of the air cushion. The interior of each air bladder protrusion is integrated with the interior of the air cushion, and a rubber sleeve is provided around the air bladder protrusion.

[0006] The upper surface of the water-filled pad is provided with a plurality of rubber protrusions corresponding one-to-one with the airbag protrusions. The diameter of the airbag protrusions is smaller than the diameter of the rubber protrusions; the height of the rubber protrusions is smaller than the height of the airbag protrusions.

[0007] The rubber protrusion is a hollow column, and the sidewall of the rubber protrusion is a wavy sidewall.

[0008] The top surface of the rubber sleeve is lower than the top surface of the airbag protrusion after inflation.

[0009] The height of the inflated airbag protrusion is 4-5cm; the diameter of the inflated airbag protrusion is 4-5cm; the outer diameter of the rubber sleeve is 6-8cm; and the height of the rubber 9 is 2-3cm.

[0010] The bottom surface of the base plate is provided with an absorbent pad, which is connected to the bottom surface by Velcro.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: the water-filled pad and the air pad can be used simultaneously or separately, achieving different softness and hardness effects through three different air-filling and water-filling combinations; the air bladder protrusions and rubber sleeves provide more point support for the patient, thereby better dispersing pressure and increasing air circulation; the rubber protrusions support the air bladder protrusions on the air pad, providing support and preventing pressure sores; the fluidity of the water inside the water-filled pad creates waves on the air pad, air bladder protrusions, and rubber sleeves, causing the pressure points on the body to change periodically, dispersing pressure, reducing the pressure on the local air bladder protrusions, and further dispersing the pressure on the air bladder protrusions under the cushioning effect of the rubber sleeve, reducing air leakage, lowering maintenance costs, and avoiding affecting the normal rest of neurological stroke patients.

[0012] The absorbent pad is attached to the bottom of the base plate via Velcro, making this invention dual-purpose. When the air cushion side is used, it can prevent pressure sores; when the absorbent pad side is used, it can absorb moisture, making it convenient for neurological stroke patients who are bedridden for long periods of time to avoid skin redness and swelling.

[0018] The components include: 1. base plate; 2. enclosure; 3. water-filling pad; 4. water inlet; 5. air cushion; 6. air inlet; 7. sealing cap; 8. airbag protrusion; 9. rubber sleeve; 10. rubber protrusion; 11. corrugated sidewall; 12. water-absorbing pad. Detailed Implementation

[0019] according to Figure 1-5This utility model relates to an anti-pressure ulcer care pad, comprising a base plate 1, with surrounding barriers 2 around the base plate 1, forming a placement groove between the barriers 2. A water-filled pad 3 is placed on the bottom surface of the groove, with the water inlet 4 of the water-filled pad 3 fixed to one side of the surrounding barriers 2. A detachable air cushion 5 is provided above the water-filled pad 3. The upper surface of the air cushion 5 has an inflation port 6 with a sealing cap 7 and several evenly distributed airbag protrusions 8. The interior of the airbag protrusions 8 is integrated with the interior of the air cushion 5. A rubber sleeve 9 is provided around the airbag protrusions 8. The top surface of the rubber sleeve 9 is lower than the top surface of the inflated airbag protrusions 8. The height of the inflated airbag protrusions 8 is 4-5 cm; the diameter of the inflated airbag protrusions 8 is 4-5 cm; the outer diameter of the rubber sleeve 9 is 6-8 cm; and the height of the rubber sleeve 9 is 2-3 cm.

[0020] The upper surface of the water-filled pad 3 is provided with a plurality of rubber protrusions 10 corresponding one-to-one with the airbag protrusions 8. The diameter of the airbag protrusions 8 is smaller than the diameter of the rubber protrusions 10; the height of the rubber protrusions 10 is smaller than the height of the airbag protrusions 8. The rubber protrusions 10 are hollow columnar, and the sidewalls of the rubber protrusions 10 are wavy sidewalls 11. The wavy sidewalls 11 make the rubber protrusions 10 more elastic, and have a good cushioning and pressure-dissipating effect.

[0021] The water-filled pad 3 and air pad 5 can be used simultaneously or separately, through three different combinations of air and water filling: first, water is filled into the water-filled pad 3 and air is filled into the air pad 5 at the same time; second, water is filled into the water-filled pad 3 and the air pad 5 is not filled; third, the water-filled pad 3 is not filled with water and the air pad 5 is not filled, and the base plate 1 is flipped over and used with the base plate 1 facing upwards; thus achieving different soft and hard effects.

[0022] The bottom surface of the base plate 1 is provided with an absorbent pad 12, which is connected to the bottom surface 1 by Velcro. The absorbent pad 12 is attached to the bottom surface of the base plate 1 by Velcro, making this invention dual-purpose. When the air cushion side is used, it can prevent pressure sores; when the absorbent pad side is used, it can absorb moisture, making it convenient for neurological stroke patients who are bedridden for a long time to avoid skin redness and swelling.
