Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, and in particular relates to a bed transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] Before or after surgery, hospitals often need to transfer patients from different beds. This process typically involves using a transfer device, with rigid ones generally called transfer boards and soft ones called transfer straps or mattresses. The transfer device is first placed under the patient, then moved to the target bed with the assistance of nurses and family members, and finally removed from under the patient. Most commonly used transfer devices are simply foldable boards or soft mats. However, with the increasing number of obese patients, whose limbs, especially arms, are too large for the transfer device, their arms can easily fall off during transport, potentially causing accidents such as arm injuries or falls. Therefore, in many cases, additional securing straps are needed to immobilize the obese patient's limbs, which is inconvenient. If a suitable securing strap cannot be found on the spot, transferring the patient may pose a danger. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the technical problem of existing technologies requiring additional fixation straps to secure the arms of obese patients during transfer to a bed, the purpose of this invention is to provide a transfer device to solve the problem of existing technologies.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a bed transfer device includes a bottom layer, on which a contact layer is provided. The contact layer directly contacts the patient's body. The upper surface of the contact layer has corresponding side edges with fixing layers for fixing the patient's arms. Only a portion of the middle part of the fixing layer is connected to the contact layer, and the sides are movable. One side edge of the fixing layer is detachably connected to the other side edge. One side edge of the fixing layer has at least one first fixing strap, and the corresponding other side edge has at least one second fixing strap. The free end of the first fixing strap has a first connecting member, and the free end of the second fixing strap has a second connecting member detachably connected to the first connecting member.

[0005] Preferably, at least one handle is provided on each of the two sides of the bottom layer to facilitate the movement of the bed by nurses, patients' family members, etc.

[0006] Preferably, the area of ​​the contact layer is smaller than that of the bottom layer.

[0007] Preferably, the area of ​​the fixing layer is smaller than that of the contact layer.

[0008] The bottom layer, contact layer, and fixing layer are all made of soft materials, such as fabric. The connection between the fixing layer and the contact layer, and / or the connection between the contact layer and the bottom layer, can be either detachable or non-detachable. If detachable, damaged layers can be easily replaced, and cleaning is also convenient, maintaining the hygiene of this invention.

[0009] Preferably, a first hook and loop fastener is provided on one edge of the upper surface of the fixing layer, and a second hook and loop fastener is provided on the corresponding lower edge of the upper surface, which is adhered to the first hook and loop fastener. This arrangement achieves the technical effect of detachable connection between one edge and the other edge of the fixing layer. Furthermore, since the hook and loop fastener has a certain width, and different patients have different arm sizes, the fixing layer can be securely fixed to the arms of most patients by adjusting the fastening position within a certain range. However, the hook and loop fastener is prone to breaking or becoming difficult to attach when the patient's arm is too thick, i.e., the arm circumference is close to or exceeds the length of the fixing layer. Additionally, the hook and loop fastener may accumulate dust over long-term use. Therefore, preferably, the first connector is a snap fastener, and the second connector is a snap fastener box that plugs into the snap fastener. The first and second connectors provide a "double insurance" effect, meaning that the arm will not fall off even if the hook and loop fastener breaks, and the service life of this invention is extended when the hook and loop fastener accumulates a lot of dust.

[0010] Preferably, the first and / or second fixing straps are provided with a strap adjustment device; more preferably, the strap adjustment device is at least one of a D-ring buckle and a snap fastener, but is not limited thereto. The strap adjustment device allows the length of the first and / or second fixing straps to be adjusted more conveniently according to the arm circumference, making the first and second fixing straps more securely fixed to the arm. The buckle, buckle box, D-ring buckle, and snap fastener are all very common items in daily life. For example, many school bags have buckles, buckle boxes, D-ring buckles, and snap fasteners on their straps. Considering that family members of patients who are not professional medical staff often need to help during the transfer process, this setting allows most people to use it naturally after seeing this utility model or after a simple demonstration, with a low learning cost. Of course, if the buckle and buckle box used in the manufacture of this utility model have the function of a strap adjustment device, for example, if the buckle and / or buckle box body has a structure similar to a D-ring buckle or a snap fastener, this utility model may not provide a D-ring buckle, snap fastener, or other strap adjustment device.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention allows for convenient fixation of a patient's arm during transfer to a bed, and can securely fix arms of varying thicknesses.

[0012] With the detachable connection on both sides of the fixing layer and the setting of the first connector and the second connector, this utility model provides "double insurance" for fixing the patient's arm, reducing the probability of accidents and extending the service life of this utility model.

[0013] When using this invention to transfer patients onto a bed, users do not need to be distracted to prevent the patient's arm from falling and causing an accident, which is worry-free. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-3, the present utility model provides a patient transfer device, which includes a bottom layer 1. The bottom layer 1 is rectangular. A contact layer 2 is provided on the bottom layer 1. The contact layer 2 is also rectangular, but the area of the contact layer 2 is smaller than that of the bottom layer 1. On the upper surface of the contact layer 2, fixing layers 3 which are also rectangular and used for fixing the patient's arms are provided at the corresponding two side edges. A part of the middle of the fixing layer 3 is connected to the contact layer 2, and the two sides can move. A first magic tape 31 is provided at one side edge of the upper surface of the fixing layer 3, and a second magic tape 32 which is adhesively bonded to the first magic tape 31 is provided at the corresponding side edge of the lower surface. Two first fixing belts 41 are provided at one side edge of the fixing layer 3, and two second fixing belts 42 are provided at the corresponding other side edge. A buckle 51 is provided at the free end of the first fixing belt 41, and a buckle box 52 which is inserted into the buckle 51 is provided at the free end of the second fixing belt 42. Two handles 11 are respectively provided at the two long sides of the bottom layer 1, that is, a total of four handles 11 are provided on the whole bottom layer 1, which can facilitate nurses, patient families and others to carry this patient transfer device.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , in some embodiments, one end of the selected buckle 51 has a structure for adjusting the length of the first fixing belt 41 (for example Figures 1-3 the one end of the buckle 51 in is a structure similar to the Japanese character buckle 61), but the selected buckle box 52 does not have a similar structure. Therefore, the length of the second fixing belt 42 cannot be adjusted. In this case, there is no need to separately provide a belt adjusting device on the first fixing belt 41. The length of the first fixing belt 41 can be directly adjusted through the Japanese character structure on the buckle 51 to adapt to different arm thicknesses. In other embodiments, one end of the selected buckle 51 has a structure for adjusting the length of the first fixing belt 41, and a belt adjusting device for adjusting its length can also be provided on the second fixing belt 42. The belt adjusting device is one of the Japanese character buckle 61 and the square buckle 62. This setting allows the user to adjust the lengths of the first fixing belt 41 and the second fixing belt 42 simultaneously. In still other embodiments, whether or not the selected buckle 51 and the buckle box 52 have a structure for adjusting the length of the fixing belt, at least one of the Japanese character buckle 61 and the square buckle 62 can be provided on the first fixing belt 41 and the second fixing belt 42. In this way, the technical effect of simultaneously adjusting the lengths of the first fixing belt 41 and the second fixing belt 42 can also be achieved.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 3In use, similar to existing bed transfer devices, first have the patient turn to their side and place the transfer device under them. Then, have the patient return to a supine position, lying on the contact layer 2. At this point, nurses, family members, etc., can place the patient's two arms in the middle of the two fixing layers 3 respectively, roll up the movable parts on both sides of the fixing layer 3 to tightly wrap the patient's entire arm, and then attach the first Velcro 31 and the second Velcro 32. At this point, the patient's arm is initially fixed. Next, by adjusting the length of the first fixing strap 41 and / or the second fixing strap 42, the first fixing strap 41 and the second fixing strap 42, after being connected by the buckle 51 and the buckle box 52, can tightly wrap the entire fixing layer 3. At this point, the patient's arm is more firmly fixed. Now, the patient can be moved to a new hospital bed. After the patient is moved to the new hospital bed, unfasten the connection of the buckle 51 and the buckle box 52, and release the connection of the first Velcro 31 and the second Velcro 32. Then, have the patient turn to their side and pull the transfer device out from under the patient.
