Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dressing support frame technology, specifically a dressing support arch bridge frame with anti-compression padding. Background Technology
[0002] A dressing change support arch bridge is a medical aid specifically designed to support a patient's body parts (most commonly the heel or elbow) during dressing changes (wound care), suspending them off the bed or table surface to prevent pressure sores or other injuries.
[0003] Bridge supports are typically made of sturdy, lightweight, and easy-to-clean / sterilize materials (such as stainless steel, hard plastic / resin). They are shaped like an "∩," forming a frame that spans and supports the limb. To ensure comfort and prevent pressure, the contact surface between the bridge support and the skin is often padded. However, when using this device, for patients who are particularly obese or thin, or have unusual body shapes (such as severe edema or deformities), the arch curvature or support width may not perfectly match, and the edges may still compress the limb. Fixed-shape padding cannot perfectly adapt to the precise skeletal contours of all patients, especially when bony prominences are present. Furthermore, high-quality silicone / gel padding with high comfort is expensive, and replacement usually involves a complete replacement rather than partial repair, increasing usage costs. Therefore, there is a need to improve the dressing support bridge with anti-pressure padding to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dressing change support arch bridge with anti-compression padding to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a dressing change support arch bridge with anti-pressure padding, including a lifting frame structure. An arc-shaped seat is fixedly installed on the back of the lifting plate of the lifting frame structure. Five magnetic blocks are embedded in the top of the arc-shaped seat. Five arc-shaped plates are provided on the top of the arc-shaped seat. Magnetic blocks are embedded in the bottom of each of the five arc-shaped plates. Two positioning columns are fixedly installed at the bottom of the arc-shaped plates.
[0006] Preferably, the arc-shaped seat and the positioning post are provided with corresponding insertion holes, and the positioning post is inserted into the insertion hole. The five magnetic blocks two and the five magnetic blocks one are respectively vertically aligned and magnetically attracted to each other.
[0007] Preferably, six medical silicone pillars are fixedly installed on the top of the arc-shaped plate, and a soft pad is fixedly installed on the end of the medical silicone pillar away from the arc-shaped plate. The top of the soft pad is fitted with Velcro closure 1, the top of the soft pad is provided with a polyurethane film, and the bottom of the polyurethane film is fitted with five Velcro closure 2.
[0008] Preferably, the five Velcro straps 2 and the five Velcro straps 1 are respectively positioned vertically.
[0009] Preferably, the interior of the arc-shaped seat is provided with a vent hole, which is located directly below the gap between the two arc-shaped plates.
[0010] Preferably, two side baffles are fixedly installed on the outside of the arc-shaped seat, and the two side baffles are arranged in front of and behind the polyurethane film.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a dressing change support arch bridge with anti-compression padding, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. This dressing support arch bridge with anti-compression padding is composed of five modular units. When the legs are placed on top of the polyurethane film, the bottom of the padding is connected to a medical silicone column, forming a "flexible bed" effect. It can slightly adapt to the condition of the legs, greatly improving adaptability to different individuals, especially those who are obese, thin, edematous, or deformed, maximizing the protection of bony prominences and providing stronger anti-compression.
[0013] 2. Based on this, the present invention uses a polyurethane film to firmly bond or integrally mold the top of the five module units, ensuring a seamless connection. The film itself is extremely soft and has excellent extensibility, allowing each unit below to independently perform large-scale vertical movement, compression / rebound without tearing or deformation restriction. The polyurethane film forms a continuous, smooth, and seamless skin-friendly contact surface.
[0014] 3. Based on this, the present invention allows the curved plate to be lifted by the finger, and the magnetic block one and magnetic block two will no longer attract each other. Individual module units can be replaced without replacing the whole unit, thus reducing the cost of use. Attached Figure Description

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0024] Example 1:
[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a dressing support arch bridge with anti-pressure soft pads, including a lifting frame structure 1, an arc-shaped seat 2 fixedly installed on the back of the lifting plate of the lifting frame structure 1, five magnetic blocks 3 embedded in the top of the arc-shaped seat 2, five arc-shaped plates 4 set in the top of the arc-shaped seat 2, magnetic blocks 5 embedded in the bottom of each of the five arc-shaped plates 4, and two positioning columns 6 fixedly installed in the bottom of the arc-shaped plates 4.
[0026] Furthermore, the arc-shaped base 2 and the positioning post 6 are provided with corresponding insertion holes, and the positioning post 6 is inserted into the insertion hole. The five magnetic blocks 2 5 and the five magnetic blocks 1 3 are respectively aligned vertically and magnetically attracted to each other, which makes it easy for the arc-shaped plate 4 to be installed above the arc-shaped base 2.
[0027] Furthermore, six medical silicone pillars 7 are fixedly installed on the top of the curved plate 4. A soft pad 8 is fixedly installed on the end of the medical silicone pillar 7 away from the curved plate 4. A Velcro 9 is fitted on the top of the soft pad 8. A polyurethane film 10 is provided on the top of the soft pad 8. Five Velcro 11s are fitted on the bottom of the polyurethane film 10 to facilitate the positioning and installation of the polyurethane film 10.
[0028] Furthermore, the five Velcro straps 11 and 9 are respectively aligned vertically, facilitating the quick replacement of the polyurethane film 10.
[0029] Example 2:
[0030] Please see Figure 1 , 4 Furthermore, in conjunction with Embodiment 1, it is further found that the interior of the arc-shaped seat 2 is provided with a ventilation hole 12, which is located directly below the gap between the two arc-shaped plates 4, making the device more breathable.
[0031] Furthermore, two side baffles 13 are fixedly installed on the outside of the arc-shaped seat 2, and the two side baffles 13 are positioned in front of and behind the polyurethane film 10 to provide lateral protection for the legs and prevent them from falling.
[0032] In actual operation, when this device is used, the lifting frame structure 1 can be freely assembled on the bedside and support platform. When in use, the small drive motor on the lifting frame structure 1 drives the threaded rod to rotate, so that the lifting plate drives the arc-shaped seat 2 to adjust to a suitable position to adapt to the height required by different patients. Then, the uninjured parts of the patient's body, most commonly the heel or elbow, are placed on the top of the polyurethane film 10, so that the injured parts are suspended off the bed or platform, thereby avoiding pressure sores or other injuries caused by pressure on the area.
[0033] Furthermore, in addition to its overall shape adaptability, the device designs the main contact surfaces as small, independently movable modular units. Each modular unit consists of an arc-shaped plate 4, a medical silicone column 7, and a soft pad 8. When the legs are placed on top of the polyurethane film 10, the bottom of the soft pad 8 connects to the medical silicone column 7, forming an effect similar to a "flexible bed." This allows for slight self-adaptation based on the condition of the legs, greatly improving adaptability to different individuals, especially those who are obese, thin, edematous, or deformed, maximizing protection of bony prominences, and providing stronger anti-compression properties.
[0034] Furthermore, when a patient's limb is placed on it, bony prominences, such as those below the heel bone, will sink slightly more due to greater pressure, while units below areas with thicker soft tissue or non-weight-bearing areas will experience less pressure and sink less or remain almost still. The overall effect is like a "micro-spring mattress" or "flexible bed" that perfectly conforms to the shape of the limb, with each point adaptively adjusting its support height and strength according to local pressure. This distributes pressure more evenly than a hard, fixed-shape monolithic cushion, avoiding excessive pressure concentration at any point, especially at the edges or bony prominences.
[0035] Furthermore, the medical silicone column 7 possesses excellent elasticity, compression rebound, and inherent viscoelastic damping properties to absorb kinetic energy, allowing for slow movement. When the upper pad 8 moves downwards under limb pressure, the lower medical silicone column 7 is compressed and deformed. During deformation, the medical silicone column 7 slowly absorbs energy, generating a damping effect to prevent the unit from suddenly sinking. When the pressure is removed, the elasticity of the medical silicone column 7 causes the unit to slowly and smoothly rebound to its initial position, rather than bouncing abruptly.
[0036] Furthermore, the polyurethane film 10 is firmly bonded to or integrally molded with the top of the five module units, ensuring a seamless finish. It is also extremely soft and highly elastic, allowing each unit below to independently undergo significant vertical movement, compression, and rebound without tearing or deformation. The polyurethane film 10 forms a continuous, smooth, and seamless skin-friendly contact surface, completely eliminating hygiene dead spots between the five pads 8, providing a near-integrated experience. The pressure distribution is more continuous, and it is waterproof, stain-resistant, and easy to clean. The polyurethane film 10 can be pulled upwards to separate the Velcro 9 from the Velcro 11, allowing for replacement of the polyurethane film 10.
[0037] Furthermore, when a module unit is damaged and lacks elasticity, after removing the polyurethane film 10, insert your finger into the opening groove of the side baffle 13 to lift the arc plate 4 away from the arc seat 2. At this time, the magnetic block 1 3 and the magnetic block 2 5 will no longer attract each other, and the individual module unit can be replaced without replacing the whole unit, thus reducing the cost of use.
[0038] Furthermore, the ventilation holes 12 are located directly below the gap between the two arc-shaped plates 4, which makes the device more breathable.
