Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silicone sleeve technology for prostheses, specifically an adjustable soft silicone sleeve for prostheses. Background Technology

[0002] The silicone sleeve of a prosthesis is a buffer layer worn between the residual limb and the prosthesis socket. The soft silicone can effectively protect the residual limb and reduce friction and pressure pain.

[0003] Because the thickness of traditional silicone sleeves for prostheses is fixed and cannot be adjusted, and the water content of the human body is different in the morning and evening, amputees usually experience swelling of the residual limb in the morning, which then shrinks in the afternoon after a day of activity. This causes prostheses to feel comfortable when worn in the morning, but the socket may feel loose in the afternoon, making it impossible to make adjustments according to the actual situation. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an adjustable soft silicone sleeve for prostheses, thus solving the aforementioned technical problems.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable prosthetic soft silicone sleeve, comprising a silicone sleeve body and an adjustment band, wherein the outer side of the silicone sleeve body is provided with a Velcro surface, the inner side of the adjustment band is provided with a Velcro barbed surface adapted to the Velcro surface, the adjustment band has multiple telescopic cavities, the adjustment band has a connecting cavity communicating with the multiple telescopic cavities, the adjustment band has a protruding connecting tube communicating with the connecting cavity, the connecting tube is connected to a flexible tube, and a pressure block is connected to the flexible tube.

[0006] Preferably, the pressurizing block has a cavity, and one end of the pressurizing block is provided with a one-way air intake valve communicating with the cavity.

[0007] Preferably, a plastic sealing layer is provided on the inner wall of both the connecting cavity and the telescopic cavity.

[0008] Preferably, a connecting block is bonded to the outer side of the adjusting belt, the connecting block has a slot, and the pressure block has a protruding locking block that matches the slot.

[0009] Preferably, the hose on the connecting pipe is detachable and can be replaced with a water injection pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the pressurizing block is removable and replaceable with an air pump.

[0011] Preferably, the plurality of the telescopic cavities are arranged at axial intervals within the adjusting belt.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an adjustable soft silicone sleeve for prostheses, which has the following beneficial effects: Through the cooperation of structures such as the adjustment band, the telescopic cavity, and the pressure block, this utility model allows the user to attach the Velcro barbed side of the adjustment band to the Velcro rough side of the silicone sleeve body after the user has put the silicone sleeve body on the amputation site. The silicone sleeve body and the adjustment band on the outside are then placed into the prosthesis receiving cavity. At this time, the pressure block can be pressed as needed to fill the telescopic cavity with air, thereby adjusting the thickness of the adjustment band. This allows for better adjustment of the gap between the silicone sleeve body and the receiving cavity, further ensuring the user's comfort and stability when wearing the prosthesis.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-4 An adjustable silicone prosthesis sleeve includes a silicone sleeve body 1 and an adjustment band 2. The outer side of the silicone sleeve body 1 is provided with a Velcro surface 8, and the inner side of the adjustment band 2 is provided with a Velcro barbed surface 9 that matches the Velcro surface 8. The adjustment band 2 has multiple telescopic cavities 13 and a connecting cavity 12 that communicates with the multiple telescopic cavities 13. A connecting tube 7 that communicates with the connecting cavity 12 protrudes from the adjustment band 2. A flexible tube 11 is connected to the connecting tube 7, and a pressure block 5 is connected to the flexible tube 11.

[0019] Through the coordinated arrangement of the adjustable band 2, the telescopic cavity 13, and the pressure block 5, after the user places the silicone sleeve body 1 on the amputation site, the Velcro barbed surface 9 on the inner side of the adjustable band 2 is bonded to the Velcro rough surface 8 on the outer side of the silicone sleeve body 1. The silicone sleeve body 1 and the adjustable band 2 are then placed together into the prosthesis receiving cavity. At this time, the pressure block 5 can be pressed as needed to fill the telescopic cavity 13 with air, thereby adjusting the thickness of the adjustable band 2. This allows for precise adjustment of the gap between the silicone sleeve body 1 and the receiving cavity, further ensuring the user's comfort and stability when wearing the prosthesis.

[0020] Specifically, in this embodiment, a cavity 14 is provided inside the pressurizing block 5, and a one-way air intake valve 6 communicating with the cavity 14 is provided at one end of the pressurizing block 5.

[0021] By using the one-way air intake valve 6, air can be sent from the cavity 14 into the telescopic cavity 13 when the pressurizing block 5 is pressed intermittently, thereby adjusting the thickness of the adjustment belt 2 through the expansion of the telescopic cavity 13.

[0022] Specifically, in this embodiment, plastic sealing layers are provided on the inner walls of both the connecting cavity 12 and the telescopic cavity 13 to ensure the sealing of the connecting cavity 12 and the telescopic cavity 13.

[0023] Specifically, in this embodiment, a docking block 3 is bonded to the outer side of the adjusting belt 2, and a slot 4 is provided on the docking block 3. A card block 15 that is adapted to the slot 4 is protruding on the pressure block 5.

[0024] By setting up docking block 3 and locking block 15, it is easy to lock the pressure block 5 into the locking slot 4 on docking block 3.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the flexible hose 11 on the connecting pipe 7 can be detached and replaced with a water injection pipe. By replacing the flexible hose 11 with a water injection pipe, cold or hot water can be injected into the telescopic cavity 13 in the adjustment belt 2 in hot summer or cold winter to improve the user's comfort when wearing it. When the hot water cools down, it can be released or replaced with new hot water to ensure the temperature of the adjustment belt 2.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pressurizing block 5 can be detached and replaced with an air pump.

[0027] By replacing the pressure block 5 with an air pump, air can be pumped into the telescopic cavity 13, eliminating the need for repeated pressing of the pressure block 5 and improving efficiency.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, multiple telescopic cavities 13 are arranged axially at intervals within the adjusting belt 2, which can ensure the uniformity of the thickness change of the adjusting belt 2 after inflation.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
