Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of postoperative rehabilitation technology, specifically to a special pillow for postoperative head traction in scoliosis. Background Technology

[0002] Head-pelvic traction for scoliosis is a non-surgical or pre-operative adjunctive treatment method that applies continuous traction to the spine through an external fixation device to correct deformities. The head-pelvic ring consists of a head ring fixed to the patient's head and a pelvic ring fixed to the patient's pelvis. By adjusting the distance between the head-pelvic rings, the curvature of the spine can be altered, thereby achieving the goal of treating scoliosis. The principle of head-pelvic traction is mainly to utilize mechanical action to subject the patient's spine to continuous traction, thereby improving the degree of spinal curvature. Specifically, head-pelvic traction increases the distance between the patient's head and pelvis, resulting in greater traction on the spine and thus improving the degree of spinal curvature.

[0003] After surgery, medical traction devices are still in place on the head, and it is necessary to ensure that the medical devices do not come into contact with external equipment such as the medical bed. At the same time, maintaining this position for a long time puts a lot of stress on the neck, so a pillow is needed to support the patient's neck and reduce neck strain, thereby meeting the desired effect during the rehabilitation process.

[0004] Current postoperative pillows are all of the same size, but this type of disease can occur at different ages, so they cannot be adjusted for different patients and have low adaptability. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a special pillow for patients after scoliosis head traction surgery, which has the advantage of being adjustable to meet the needs of patients of different ages, improves adaptability, and solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0028] 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.

[0029] This utility model provides a special pillow for postoperative head ring traction of scoliosis, including a pillow core 1, a protective mechanism 2, an air support mechanism 3, and a retractable mechanism 4;

[0030] The outer side of the pillow core 1 is provided with a protective mechanism 2 for protecting the pillow core 1. The surface of the protective mechanism 2 is provided with a neck adjustment and support gas spring mechanism 3. The inner end of the protective mechanism 2 is provided with a retractable mechanism 4 for adjusting the tightness of the neck.

[0031] The retraction mechanism 4 includes a support component, an adapter component, an elastic component, and an adjustment component. The support component is located at the inner end of the protective mechanism 2, the adapter component is located on the outer side of the support component, the elastic component is located inside the support component, and the adjustment component is located on top of the elastic component.

[0032] The combination of support components, adapter components, elastic components, and adjustment components allows for the adjustment of tightness to suit patients of different ages, i.e., patients with different neck thicknesses.

[0033] Preferred;

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, the support assembly includes a connecting rope 41, which is installed at the inner end of the protective mechanism 2. A connecting cylinder 42 is sleeved on the outer side of the connecting rope 41, which serves as an auxiliary adjustment for tension. The adjustment and locking operation is completed by pulling the connecting rope 41. The connecting cylinder 42 slides on the outer side of the connecting rope 41 during adjustment. The connecting cylinder 42 can support and limit the required components.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the adapter component includes a first through hole 43 and a second through hole 44. The first through hole 43 is opened on the outside of the connecting cylinder 42, and the second through hole 44 is opened on the top of the connecting cylinder 42. The opening of the first through hole 43 facilitates the connection rope 41 to pass through the connecting cylinder 42, while the opening of the second through hole 44 facilitates the vertical plate 47 to pass through the connecting cylinder 42. When needed, the vertical plate 47 will slide up and down inside the second through hole 44.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the elastic component includes a base plate 45, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 42. Springs 46 are welded to both ends of the top of the base plate 45, which play an elastic pushing role, thereby completing the adjusted clamping operation by elastic pushing.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the adjustment assembly includes a vertical plate 47, which is fixedly installed on the top of the spring 46. A clamping plate 48 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the vertical plate 47 to facilitate the pulling of the connecting rope 41 to misalign, thereby assisting in fixing it to the required position after adjustment. The top of the clamping plate 48 is provided with anti-slip texture to improve the clamping effect during the clamping process.

[0038] in;

[0039] like Figure 6 As shown, a third through hole 49 is provided on the outer side of the vertical plate 47. The connecting rope 41 passes through the first through hole 43, the second through hole 44 and the third through hole 49. The third through hole 49 is designed to accommodate the connecting rope 41, allowing the connecting rope 41 to pass through the vertical plate 47.

[0040] When it is necessary to adjust the diameter of the pillow core 1, press down on the vertical plate 47. The vertical plate 47 moves down to compress the spring 46. At this time, the first perforation 43 and the third perforation 49 are horizontally symmetrical. Simultaneously, the pressing plate 48 disengages from the pressing state with the top of the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 42. The connecting rope 41 is pulled directly through the pillowcase 21 to cause the diameter of the pillow core 1 to shrink, gradually becoming smaller. At the same time, the connecting cylinder 42 needs to slide on the outside of the connecting rope 41. At this time, the pressing pressure is inconvenient, and it is moved close to the inner end of the pillowcase 21 until the diameter of the pillow core 1 shrinks to the required size. At this time, the pressing pressure is released, and then the elasticity of the spring 46 pushes the third perforation 49 to be misaligned with the first perforation 43. Positioning is achieved based on the principle of misalignment friction. When moving upward, the pressing plate 48 will press against the top of the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 42. The locking operation after adjustment is completed according to the above.

[0041] The above is for tightening adjustment. When it is necessary to loosen the adjustment, the operation method is the same as above. The difference is that the connecting cylinder 42 needs to be away from the pillow core 1 until the diameter of the pillow core 1 gradually increases.

[0042] It effectively adjusts the size of the ring when supporting the neck, making it suitable for patients of different ages and improving adaptability.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the protective mechanism 2 includes an outer cover assembly and an anti-slip assembly. The outer cover assembly is located on the outside of the pillow core 1, and the anti-slip assembly is located on the outside of the outer cover assembly.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer cover assembly includes a pillowcase 21, which is fitted onto the outside of the pillow core 1. The bottom of the pillowcase 21 has a take-out opening 24. The pillowcase 21 protects the pillow core 1 and can be separated from the pillow core 1 for cleaning and disinfection.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the anti-slip component includes a first rubber pad 22, which is adhered to the inner wall of the pillowcase 21. A second rubber pad 23 is adhered to the bottom of the pillowcase 21. The combination of the first rubber pad 22 and the second rubber pad 23 can provide protection during use, not only preventing slippage when in contact with the medical bed, but also preventing slippage when in contact with the patient's neck.

[0046] When in use, simply insert the pillow core 1 into the pillowcase 21 through the insertion port 24. When removing it, also remove it through the insertion port 24. After the two are separated, they can be washed and disinfected separately for reuse. This will prevent cross-infection when the next patient uses it.

[0047] The first rubber pad 22 is mainly used for anti-slip treatment when in contact with the window, while the second rubber pad 23 is designed to provide anti-slip effect when placed around the neck.

[0048] at last;

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, the air support mechanism 3 includes a first airbag 31, which is attached to the outside of the pillowcase 21. The top of the first airbag 31 is connected to a second airbag 32, and one end of the first airbag 31 is connected to a flexible tube 33. This provides neck support while allowing adjustment of the required angle to suit the patient's needs for neck support.

[0050] Connect the external air pump to the hose 33, then open the control valve on the hose 33, and then inflate the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 to expand them to the required saturation. When it is necessary to reduce the saturation, slowly open the control valve to release the air, and then close the control valve after reducing the predetermined amount of gas.

[0051] 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.
