Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical and nursing technology, and in particular to a U-shaped turning device after cesarean section. Background Technology

[0002] Post-cesarean section patients require regular turning and repositioning in the early stages due to incision pain and the need for immobilization. This promotes gas expulsion and reduces pressure injuries and complications. In clinical nursing, turning is often assisted by nursing staff or family members. Because patients often have insufficient lower limb muscle strength and are sensitive to traction pain, turning procedures must be gentle and controllable, minimizing shearing and pressure on the incision and soft tissues. Furthermore, given the shortage of ward staff and limited night shifts, assisted turning tends to utilize instruments that can be performed by a single person and are easy to quickly position and immobilize.

[0003] Currently common methods include: placing ordinary pillows, soft cushions, or wedge-shaped pads on the outer side of the lower limbs or back for support; using inflatable backrests or foam turning pillows for support; and in a few departments, using rigid turning boards / rollers to assist in movement. These devices are mostly general-purpose supports, typically lacking compartmentalized restraint structures for both lower limbs. Connection to the bed is often temporary holding or secured with straps, and the fixing straps usually lack dedicated storage locations. Some inflatable or rigid devices are operated by sliding or lifting on the bed surface, with the force path primarily based on surface friction, resulting in insufficient rolling characteristics. Adaptability to different leg circumferences usually depends on the overall firmness and placement angle of the device, limiting adjustment precision.

[0004] To address the common problems in this field, such as: the support component easily slips relative to the patient's lower limbs or the bed surface during turning over, resulting in insufficient stability; the operation mainly relies on dragging and sliding, causing patient discomfort and increasing nursing effort; the connection method with the hospital bed is not standardized, resulting in poor reliability for single-person operation; the fixing straps scatter when not in use, and there is a lack of storage components; the fit for different leg circumferences mainly relies on the compression of soft pads, lacking geometric limits and adaptive wrapping with elastic rebound, etc., this utility model was developed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the current field by proposing a U-shaped turning device after cesarean section.

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A U-shaped turning device for post-cesarean section, comprising a U-shaped pillowcase, a central divider, a fixing strap, and a storage component.

[0008] The U-shaped pillow is a U-shaped sleeve placed on the outside of the patient's limbs. The U-shaped pillow has an elastic filling layer inside and a wear-resistant covering layer on the surface.

[0009] The middle partition is fixedly connected to the middle position of the U-shaped pillowcase, and the middle partition is used to separate the two legs and restrict relative sliding.

[0010] The fixing strap is set on the wear-resistant covering layer on the outside of the U-shaped pillowcase;

[0011] The storage component is an annular channel or bag-shaped structure connected to the covering layer, and the storage component is fixed to the wear-resistant covering layer by hook and fasteners.

[0012] Furthermore, the U-shaped pillowcase includes limiting protrusions on the left and right sides and an arc-shaped transition portion located between the two limiting protrusions.

[0013] The limiting convex pad is placed against the outside of the patient's leg and is used to laterally limit the leg;

[0014] The inner wall of the arc-shaped transition section is a concave arc surface, which fits and contacts the back of the patient's leg.

[0015] The outer wall of the arc-shaped transition section is a smooth rolling surface with a convex arc. When the caregiver pushes the U-shaped pillow, the rolling surface rolls in conjunction with the bed surface, thereby assisting the patient in turning over.

[0016] Furthermore, the middle partition is a rectangular cross-section with rounded corners, and the middle partition, together with the adjacent limiting convex pad and the inner wall of the U-shaped pillow, forms a single-leg receiving cavity.

[0017] Furthermore, the fixing strap includes a connecting end fixedly connected to the wear-resistant coating layer and a free end opposite to the connecting end;

[0018] The inner surface of the fixing strap is provided with a first hook and loop layer along the length direction, and the outer surface of the free end is provided with a second hook and loop layer that cooperates with the first hook and loop layer;

[0019] The fixing strap can be wrapped around the bed rail and then the free end can be attached back to the inner surface of the fixing strap, and the first hook and loop layer and the second hook and loop layer are attached to each other to form a closed loop.

[0020] The beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0021] 1. More stable positioning and less displacement: The central partition and left and right limiting pads on the U-shaped pillow form a single-leg accommodating cavity, which geometrically limits the lower limbs respectively; together with the fixing strap (first hook and loop layer / second hook and loop layer attached) that forms a closed loop with the bed rails, it effectively inhibits the relative slippage between the device and the lower limbs and between the device and the bed surface during turning, improving the stability and controllability of turning.

[0022] 2. Effortless and more comfortable: The outer surface of the arc-shaped transition section is a convex arc rolling surface, which allows rolling instead of dragging when turning over, significantly reducing friction and shearing on the bed surface; the elastic filling layer provides cushioning and fit to the legs, and the surface properties of the wear-resistant covering layer reduce postoperative incision traction pain and pressure points, improving patient comfort and reducing nursing effort.

[0023] 3. Enhanced adaptability and manageability: The single-leg accommodating cavity structure, combined with elastic rebound, adapts to different leg sizes. The hook-and-loop fastening of the fixing strap allows for quick adjustment and release, enabling operation by a single person. The storage unit allows for on-site storage of the fixing strap, reducing scattering and tangling, and facilitating management. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, the terminology used to describe positional relationships in the accompanying drawings is for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] Example 1: Combined with Appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 This embodiment constructs a U-shaped turning device after cesarean section, which includes a U-shaped pillowcase, a middle partition 2, a fixing strap 3, and a storage component 4.

[0031] The U-shaped pillow is a U-shaped sleeve placed on the outside of the patient's limbs. The inside of the U-shaped pillow is an elastic filling layer, and the surface of the U-shaped pillow is covered with a wear-resistant covering layer. The middle partition 2 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the U-shaped pillow. The middle partition 2 is used to separate the two legs and restrict relative slippage. The fixing strap 3 is set on the wear-resistant covering layer on the outside of the U-shaped pillow. The storage component 4 is an annular channel or bag-shaped structure connected to the covering layer. The storage component 4 is fixed to the wear-resistant covering layer by hook and loop fasteners.

[0032] The elastic filling layer of the U-shaped pillowcase can be made of PU slow-rebound sponge, EVA / EPE foam, or latex foam; the wear-resistant covering layer is made of PU leather, TPU coated fabric, or polyester Oxford cloth; the middle partition 2 is integrally foamed with the same material as the pillowcase or reinforced with PP / PE sheet; the fixing strap 3 is made of nylon or polyester webbing and connected to the covering layer by overlock sewing or high-frequency welding; the storage part 4 is made of PU leather, TPU coated fabric, or polyester Oxford sewn into a bag or loop; when the fixing strap 3 is not in use, it is stuffed into the storage part 4 for storage.

[0033] The U-shaped pillow includes left and right limiting convex pads 1 and an arc-shaped transition portion located between the two limiting convex pads 1; the limiting convex pads 1 are attached to the outside of the patient's legs and are used to laterally limit the legs; the inner wall 6 of the arc-shaped transition portion is a concave arc surface and is in contact with the back of the patient's legs; the outer wall 5 of the arc-shaped transition portion is a smooth rolling surface with a convex arc.

[0034] The limiting convex pad 1 and the arc-shaped transition part are formed by CNC cutting, die cutting or grinding of a whole piece of foam core material.

[0035] The middle partition 2 has a rounded rectangular cross-section, and the middle partition 2, together with the adjacent limiting convex pad 1 and the inner wall of the U-shaped pillow, forms a single-leg receiving cavity.

[0036] The middle partition 2 can be integrally formed using the same foam core material as the pillowcase. The rounded corners of the cross section of the middle partition 2 are completed by mold foaming or secondary trimming. The middle partition 2 and the two side limiting convex pads 1 are fixed together by sewing or gluing with inner lining and covering layer to form a single-leg accommodating cavity with an upper opening.

[0037] The bottom of the middle partition 2 is provided with a PP / ABS sheet connecting base; a pre-made groove (depth 5–15mm) is made in the arc transition section. During assembly, polyurethane structural adhesive or hot melt adhesive is applied to the groove, the connecting base is pressed in and cured, and then a covering layer is used to reinforce the outer side of the connection between the middle partition 2 and the arc transition section by hot pressing / sewing.

[0038] The fixing strap 3 includes a connecting end fixed to the wear-resistant coating layer and a free end opposite to the connecting end; a first hook and loop layer is provided on the inner surface of the fixing strap 3 along the length direction, and a second hook and loop layer that cooperates with the first hook and loop layer is provided on the outer surface of the free end; the fixing strap 3 can be wrapped around the bed rail and the free end can be attached back to the inner surface of the fixing strap, and the first hook and loop layer and the second hook and loop layer are attached to each other to form a closed loop.

[0039] The main body of the fixing strap 3 is made of nylon or polyester webbing. The connecting end is reinforced and fixed to the wear-resistant covering layer by box stitch or cross stitch. The first hook and loop layer is set on the inner surface of the fixing strap 3 and extends along the length direction. The second hook and loop layer is set on the outer surface of the free end of the fixing strap 3. The first hook and loop layer and the second hook and loop layer are hook / loop hook and loop structures that cooperate with each other. The first hook and loop layer and the second hook and loop layer are fixed to the corresponding surface of the main body of the fixing strap 3 by sewing or heat pressing.

[0040] Place the U-shaped pillowcase on the patient's lower leg or thigh, allowing each leg to enter the single-leg receiving cavity formed by the central partition 2 and the left and right limiting protrusions 1. The inner surface 6 of the arc-shaped transition section should fit against the back of the leg, and the limiting protrusions 1 should fit against the outer side of the leg. The operator leads the fixing strap 3 from the outside of the U-shaped pillowcase and wraps it around the bed rail, returning the free end of the fixing strap to the inner side of the strap. Align and attach the second hook-and-loop layer on the outer surface of the free end with the first hook-and-loop layer on the inner surface of the fixing strap 3 to form a detachable closed loop connection. Subsequently, the operator slowly pushes along the outer surface 5 of the arc-shaped transition section, causing the U-shaped pillowcase to roll against the bed surface, helping the patient to turn over. If it is necessary to maintain the position briefly after turning over, the closed loop connection can be maintained. When the fixing strap 3 is not in use, it should be placed into the storage component 4 (bag or annular channel) for storage.

[0041] This device improves relative stability and reduces the risk of displacement during turning. The outer surface 5 of the arc-shaped transition section is a convex arc rolling surface, which can achieve rolling cooperation with the bed surface during pushing, reducing surface friction and shearing. The elastic filling layer and the middle partition 2 (with a rounded rectangular cross-section) together provide a close fit for different leg circumferences. The fixing strap 3 forms a closed loop by attaching the first hook-and-loop layer (located on the inner surface of the strap) and the second hook-and-loop layer (located on the outer surface of the free end), enabling quick adjustment and release. The storage component 4 (bag or annular channel) is used for on-site storage of the fixing strap 3, facilitating organization and cleaning. Compared with the solution using ordinary pillows or rigid turning boards, this device has improvements in stability, labor saving, adaptability, and nursing efficiency.
