Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, specifically a special pillow for preoperative neck function training. Background Technology
[0002] Preoperative neck exercises are an important part of the preparation for neck surgeries such as thyroid and cervical spine surgeries. They aim to enhance the neck muscles’ endurance and adapt to special intraoperative positions (such as neck hyperextension) through targeted training, thereby reducing the risk of intraoperative complications and accelerating postoperative recovery.
[0003] Preoperative neck function exercises include neck hyperextension posture simulation exercises:
[0004] Lie flat on a hard bed with your shoulders elevated 10-15cm (using a pillow or rolled-up towel) so that your neck is naturally suspended and tilted back, aligning your jaw, trachea, and sternum in a straight line (simulating the surgical position). In the initial stage, maintain this position for 5-10 minutes each time, 4 times a day. Gradually increase the duration by 5 minutes each day until you can tolerate 1-2 hours (close to the duration of surgery).
[0005] When using pillows or rolled-up towels to elevate a patient's shoulders, the following problems exist:
[0006] The patient's weight may cause the pillow (or rolled-up towel) to compress excessively, resulting in insufficient elevation, or the patient's neck may be too long, making it impossible to provide adequate neck stretching. Therefore, this medical preoperative neck function exercise pillow is provided. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a special pillow for preoperative neck function exercises in order to solve the problems mentioned above.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a medical preoperative neck function exercise pillow, including a trapezoidal pillow, wherein a shrinkage through hole is provided on the side of the trapezoidal pillow, and the shrinkage through hole completely extends to the other side of the trapezoidal pillow. The shrinkage through hole is used to further increase the pressure shrinkage space of the trapezoidal pillow.
[0009] A filler is provided inside the shrinkage through hole, and the filling of the shrinkage through hole by the filler is used to reduce the pressure shrinkage space of the trapezoidal pillow.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the filler includes a filling rubber rod, a pull lug, and an annular groove;
[0011] The pull tabs are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the filling rubber rod, and the filling rubber rod is inserted into the inner side of the shrinkage through hole to fill the inner cavity of the shrinkage through hole.
[0012] The annular groove is formed on the outside of the filling rubber rod, and multiple annular grooves are evenly arranged along the long side of the filling rubber rod. The annular grooves are used to give the filling rubber rod good bending performance.
[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model: the length of the filling rubber rod matches the lateral length of the trapezoidal pillow, and the outer diameter of the filling rubber rod is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the shrinkage through hole.
[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, the number of shrinkage through holes is set to multiple, and the multiple shrinkage through holes are distributed in a matrix according to the side trajectory of the trapezoidal pillow.
[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model: the trapezoidal pillow and the shrinkage through hole are formed by cutting and punching medical sponge, and the filling rubber rod, pull ear and annular groove are integrally injection molded from medical rubber.
[0016] As a further improvement of this utility model, the two ends of the shrinkage through hole are in the shape of a flared mouth.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] By incorporating a trapezoidal pillow with contraction holes and filling components, when the patient's weight causes the pillow to contract excessively and fail to meet the neck stretching requirements, or when the patient's neck is long and requires a higher elevation, a rubber rod is inserted into the contraction holes to fill them, preventing vertical contraction and reducing the pillow's contractible height. This allows the pillow to maintain a higher elevation, thus meeting the patient's neck stretching needs. The operation is simple and convenient. Furthermore, the multiple contraction holes allow for the insertion of different numbers of filling components to overcome compression from varying body weights, offering high flexibility and versatility.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment of the utility model, the medical preoperative neck function exercise pillow includes a trapezoidal pillow 1. A shrinkage through hole 2 is provided on the side of the trapezoidal pillow 1. The shrinkage through hole 2 completely extends to the other side of the trapezoidal pillow 1. The shrinkage through hole 2 is used to further increase the pressure shrinkage space of the trapezoidal pillow 1.
[0025] A filler 3 is provided inside the shrinkage through hole 2. The filling of the shrinkage through hole 2 by the filler 3 is used to reduce the pressure shrinkage space of the trapezoidal pillow 1.
[0026] The filler 3 includes a filling rubber rod 301, a pull lug 302, and an annular groove 303;
[0027] Pull lugs 302 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the filling rubber rod 301, and the filling rubber rod 301 is inserted into the inner side of the shrinkage through hole 2 to fill the inner cavity of the shrinkage through hole 2.
[0028] An annular groove 303 is formed on the outside of the filling rubber rod 301, and multiple annular grooves 303 are evenly arranged along the long side of the filling rubber rod 301. The annular grooves 303 are used to give the filling rubber rod 301 good bending performance.
[0029] The number of shrinkage through holes 2 is set to be multiple, and the multiple shrinkage through holes 2 are distributed in a matrix according to the side trajectory of the trapezoidal pillow 1.
[0030] In this embodiment: When the patient is performing preoperative neck function exercises, the trapezoidal pillow 1 can be placed directly under the patient's shoulders to elevate the neck. For daily use, the filling element 3 can be installed. At this time, the trapezoidal pillow 1 will shrink to its minimum height under the action of compression. If the trapezoidal pillow 1 shrinks too much due to the patient's heavy weight, thus failing to meet the neck stretching needs, or if the patient has a long neck and requires a higher elevation space, the operation is as follows:
[0031] Take out the filling part 3 and insert the filling rubber rod 301 into the shrinkage hole 2 from one side. This operation fills the shrinkage hole 2 and prevents it from shrinking in the vertical direction, thereby reducing the shrinkage of the trapezoidal pillow 1. That is, after the filling part 3 is installed, when the patient presses on the upper surface of the trapezoidal pillow 1, the trapezoidal pillow 1 can shrink to a smaller height. In this way, the trapezoidal pillow 1 can maintain a higher elevation to meet the patient's neck stretching needs.
[0032] Through the structure of multiple shrinkage holes 2, different numbers of fillers 3 can be inserted as needed to overcome the compression of different body weights. At the same time, the structure of multiple annular grooves 303 on the outside of the filling rubber rod 301 gives the filling rubber rod 301 a good bending deformation effect, so that it can be deformed under pressure along with the trapezoidal pillow 1, avoiding discomfort to the patient.
[0033] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 1-3 The length of the filling rubber rod 301 matches the lateral length of the trapezoidal pillow 1, and the outer diameter of the filling rubber rod 301 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the shrinkage through hole 2.
[0034] The two ends of the contraction through hole 2 have a flared structure.
[0035] In this embodiment: by matching the length of the filling rubber rod 301 with the lateral length of the trapezoidal pillow 1, the filling rubber rod 301 does not protrude from the sides of the trapezoidal pillow 1.
[0036] By using a structure where the outer diameter of the filling rubber rod 301 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the shrinkage through hole 2, the filling rubber rod 301 can compress the inner wall of the shrinkage through hole 2 when it is inserted into the shrinkage through hole 2. The filling rubber rod 301 and the inner wall of the shrinkage through hole 2 have frictional resistance, which is used to ensure the stability of the position of the filling rubber rod 301.
[0037] The horn-shaped structure of the shrinkage through hole 2 allows the filling rubber rod 301 to be better aligned with the shrinkage through hole 2 and inserted into the shrinkage through hole 2.
[0038] It should also be noted that the pull ear 302 is relatively soft and protrudes from the outside of the trapezoidal pillow 1 without causing harm to the patient. The pull ear 302 is used to provide a pulling part for removing the filling rubber rod 301, which facilitates the removal of the filling rubber rod 301.
[0039] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 1-3 The trapezoidal pillow 1 and the shrinkage through hole 2 are formed by cutting and punching medical sponge. The filling rubber rod 301, the pull ear 302, and the annular groove 303 are formed by injection molding of medical rubber.
[0040] In this embodiment, the processing technology of trapezoidal pillow 1 and filling element 3 is simple, easy to produce and cost controllable, and easy to promote and use.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
