Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices and related supporting facilities, and in particular to a toe separator for applying medicine to patients with athlete's foot. Background Technology

[0002] Tinea pedis is an extremely common skin disease of the feet, mainly caused by various fungal infections. It typically affects areas such as between the toes and on the soles of the feet, and symptoms include blisters, peeling, itching, and erosion, causing considerable inconvenience to patients' daily lives.

[0003] In traditional treatments, clinical observations suggest that patients often manually apply medication and then stuff cotton balls or swabs between their toes to allow for absorption. Some patients may even use their fingers to spread their toes apart to promote local drug absorption. However, these methods undoubtedly restrict patient movement. Furthermore, the cotton balls or swabs used to pack medication between the toes can absorb some of the medication, leading to waste and making it difficult to achieve the required dosage. They may also stain the floor or bed sheets.

[0004] To address the issues of toe separation and medication application in the treatment of athlete's foot, existing technologies have developed related devices: some toe separation devices use materials such as silicone and sponge to separate the toes, and the bottom support is also made of silicone or sponge. Their structure mainly consists of separation components adapted to the shape of the toes, aiming only at separating the toes without considering the need for medication application and ventilation on the sole of the foot; other toe separation devices need to be supported on insoles or flip-flops, and when using them, gauze wrapped with medicine needs to be sandwiched between the toes and inserted into the corresponding arc-shaped toe separation structure, which also fails to solve the problem of ventilation between the toes.

[0005] Most existing toe separators only focus on separating the toes, neglecting the ventilation and medication needs of the sole skin. This is because the design does not comprehensively consider the overall characteristics of the affected area of ​​athlete's foot, focusing only on local toe separation without deeply analyzing and specifically designing for the treatment needs of fungal infections of the sole skin. For example, while some toe separators can separate the toes, patients may still feel stuffy and hot in their feet during use. This not only hinders drug absorption but may also provide a breeding ground for bacteria, leading to recurring symptoms.

[0006] Therefore, how to change the current situation in which toe separators only focus on toe separation and ignore the need for ventilation of the sole skin and medication application has become an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

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.

[0034] The purpose of this invention is to provide a toe separator for applying medication to patients with tinea pedis, in order to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned related technologies. During the application of medication, it improves the breathability of the patient's soles and toes, enhances the treatment effect of tinea pedis, and reduces the patient's discomfort.

[0035] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] This embodiment provides a toe separator suitable for patients with athlete's foot to apply medication. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 1-6 The device includes a base 1, a support plate 2, and a toe-separating post 3. The base 1 supports the patient's foot and is made of medical foam. The support plate 2 is connected to the base 1 and there is an acute angle between them. The toe-separating post 3 is connected to the end of the support plate 2 away from the base 1. The toe-separating post 3 is a columnar structure that can extend between the patient's toes. The toe-separating post 3 includes a main post and an outer layer. One end of the main post is connected to the support plate 2, and the outer layer covers the outside of the main post and is made of foamed rubber.

[0038] This invention relates to a toe separator for applying medication to patients with tinea pedis. During use, the base 1, made of medical-grade foam material, supports the patient's foot, enhancing breathability and reducing bacterial growth caused by a damp environment. The toe separator 3, mounted on a support plate 2, extends between the toes during medication application. The angle between the support plate 2 and the base 1 simultaneously elevates the patient's foot, further improving breathability and exposing the toe pads for easy observation and medication application. The toe separator 3 comprises a main column and an outer layer made of foamed rubber, also offering good breathability and softness to alleviate discomfort and reduce pain during medication application. This invention effectively separates the toes during medication application, improving breathability of the sole and toe pads, thus enhancing the treatment effect.

[0039] It should be noted that medical foam and foamed rubber are materials known to those skilled in the art. The reasonable selection of specific types of medical foam and foamed rubber to ensure that the base 1 meets the requirements for support and ventilation, and that the toe post 3 meets the requirements for separation and ventilation, is a common practice among those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.

[0040] In practical applications, the top surface of the base 1 can be set to match the shape of the patient's foot. While supporting the patient's foot, it can also make better contact with the patient's foot, ensuring breathability and improving the patient's comfort, thus alleviating discomfort during the medication application process.

[0041] In addition, to improve ease of use, the base 1 can be designed with a certain height, so that when the patient is sitting in the chair, the patient's feet are positioned approximately 20cm above the ground, facilitating medication application and other treatments. The bottom of the base 1 can be designed with a frame structure, meeting the height requirements for medication application while reducing weight and ensuring the portability of the medication-applying toe separator. In practical applications, the height of the base 1 can also be adjusted according to actual needs, enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the medication-applying toe separator.

[0042] Specifically, one end of the support plate 2 is connected to one end of the base 1, forming a V-shaped structure. The toe-separating post 3 is set on the open side of the V-shaped structure. When the toe-separating post 3 extends between the patient's toes, it raises the height of the front end of the patient's foot, i.e., the ball of the foot, to further enhance the breathability of the sole of the foot and allow the toe pads of the patient to be exposed to the air, which is convenient for applying medicine and observation.

[0043] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the included angle between the support plate 2 and the base 1 is in the range of 0 to 45°. The included angle between the support plate 2 and the base 1 can be adjusted according to the actual medication needs to meet different medication application and observation needs. It can also make the toe separator adaptable to patients with various foot types and improve the flexibility and adaptability of the toe separator.

[0044] In other specific embodiments achievable by this utility model, the support plate 2 and the base 1 are hinged to allow the included angle between them to be adjusted; the hinged connection between the support plate 2 and the base 1 facilitates the adjustment of the angle between them to adapt to different patients and different usage needs.

[0045] After the angles of the support plate 2 and the base 1 are adjusted, an adjusting rod is connected to the side of the support plate 2 facing the base 1 to fix their relative positions. One end of the adjusting rod is hinged to the support plate 2, and the hinge axis between the adjusting rod and the support plate 2 is parallel to the hinge axis between the support plate 2 and the base 1. The side of the base 1 facing the support plate 2 has an adjusting groove that matches the adjusting rod. The other end of the adjusting rod can extend into the adjusting groove to fix the relative positions of the support plate 2 and the base 1. One end of the adjusting rod is hinged to the support plate 2, and the other end extends into the adjusting groove of the base 1, so that the adjusting rod, the base 1, and the support plate 2 form a triangular structure to fix the relative positions of the base 1 and the support plate 2. Multiple adjustment slots are provided, arranged perpendicular to the hinge axis between the adjustment rod and the support plate 2. The adjustment rod extends into different adjustment slots, adjusting the angle between the support plate 2 and the base 1 while fixing their relative positions, ensuring the structural stability and operational reliability of the toe separator. To further improve the structural stability of the support plate 2, the adjustment rod can be a frame structure, enhancing its support effect and increasing the structural strength of both the support plate 2 and the adjustment rod. The shape of the adjustment slots is adapted to the adjustment rod.

[0046] In this specific embodiment, the toe-split column 3 is connected to the side surface of the support plate 2. When applying medicine, the toe-split column 3 extends between the patient's toes to enhance the breathability between the patient's toes.

[0047] In this specific embodiment, there are four toe posts 3, with gaps between adjacent toe posts 3. In practical applications, the number and spacing of the toe posts 3 can be adjusted according to different medication application requirements to meet different specific needs.

[0048] In this specific embodiment, the outer layer is detachably connected to the main column. The outer layer can be fitted onto the main column, and can be easily removed and replaced when it becomes dirty or damaged, saving on the cost of using the toe separator.

[0049] More specifically, the toe separator for applying medication to patients with tinea pedis according to this utility model also includes a fixing strap 4, which is connected to the base 1. The fixing strap 4 is made of a flexible material and works in conjunction with the base 1 to wrap around the patient's foot. The fixing strap 4 is located on the side of the base 1 away from the support plate 2. The fixing strap 4 and the base 1 wrap around the patient's foot and are close to the patient's ankle to support and stabilize the patient's foot, preventing foot misalignment during medication application and affecting the treatment effect.

[0050] In this specific embodiment, the fixing strap 4 is made of elastic band, and both ends of the fixing strap 4 are connected to the base 1. The fixing strap 4 and the base 1 cooperate to form a ring-shaped structure that allows the patient's foot to extend into. The fixing strap 4 is located at the end of the base 1 away from the support plate 2. The fixing strap 4 is made of elastic band, which, while cooperating with the base 1 to fix the patient's foot, improves the comfort of fixation and can adapt to patients with different foot shapes, thus improving the adaptability of the toe separator.

[0051] Using the toe separator for patients with athlete's foot, this invention can expand the application area of ​​the medication and make it easier for doctors to observe the skin between the toes and the toe pads during the treatment process. The separation and elevation of the toes can increase the breathability of the toe area, reduce bacterial growth caused by a damp environment, and help the medication to exert its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. It is especially suitable for medication application scenarios where it is necessary to keep the area dry.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] This embodiment provides a toe separator for applying medicine to patients with athlete's foot. In this specific embodiment, the support plate 2 and the base 1 are hinged to facilitate adjustment of the included angle between them. After the angle is adjusted, in order to fix the relative position of the support plate 2 and the base 1, a locking element is provided between the support plate 2 and the base 1 to fix their relative position.

[0054] In this embodiment, the support plate 2 is hinged to the base support 1 using a pin. The locking element can be a locking bolt, which is threaded to the base support 1 and can tighten the pin. After the angle between the support plate 2 and the base support 1 is adjusted, the locking bolt is rotated to tighten the pin, thereby fixing the relative position of the support plate 2 and the base support 1 and realizing stepless adjustment of the angle between the support plate 2 and the base support 1.

[0055] In practical applications, the support plate 2 and the base 1 can also be connected by a fixed hinge, which can fix their relative positions after adjusting the included angle between the support plate 2 and the base. Fixed hinges are a common practice among those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0056] The other structures of the toe separator for applying medicine to patients with tinea pedis of this invention are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and will not be described again here.

[0057] This utility model uses specific examples to illustrate its principles and implementation methods. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
