Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical technology, and more specifically, it relates to an adjustable height and shape operating room pillow. Background Technology

[0002] The operating room currently uses ordinary rectangular foam pillows of fixed height. The required pillow height differs between short and thin patients and tall patients. An inappropriate height not only makes the patient uncomfortable, but also significantly hinders the anesthesiologist's ability to perform endotracheal intubation if the pillow is too high or too low. When a patient is in a prone position, their head and neck need to rotate to avoid pressure on the lower eyelids, which is bad for the cervical spine. In patients with stiff necks who cannot rotate, there is a risk of blindness due to pressure on the lower eyelids. During neck and shoulder surgery, a pillow needs to be placed under the patient's shoulder to maintain neck extension; however, the pillow height is often unsuitable and requires repeated adjustments, which is very inconvenient. Furthermore, because a pillow cannot be placed under the head, the head position is relatively unstable and may swing, sometimes affecting the surgical procedure.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a specially designed operating room pillow with adjustable height and shape to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the aforementioned problems in the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide an operating room pillow with adjustable height and shape, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting height and shape.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is: an operating room pillow with adjustable height and shape, including an inflatable pillow, wherein a first assembled pillow and a second assembled pillow are provided on the upper side of the inflatable pillow, and a fixing strap is connected between the first assembled pillow and the second assembled pillow and the inflatable pillow, and the fixing strap is adjustable in length.

[0006] Furthermore, an air bladder is connected to one side of the inflatable pillow via a pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, a three-way switch is provided on the pipe connecting the inflatable pillow and the inflatable bladder.

[0008] Furthermore, the first and second assembled pillows are joined in an S-shape.

[0009] Furthermore, a first adhesive strip is provided on one side of the first assembled pillow, and a second adhesive strip is provided on the other side of the second assembled pillow. The first adhesive strip can be adhered to the first assembled pillow, and the second adhesive strip can be adhered to the first assembled pillow.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. It can inflate or deflate the inflatable pillow to adjust its height; 2. Separate the first and second assembled pillows appropriately, and place the patient's eyes in the S-shaped gap between the first and second assembled pillows to avoid the risk of blindness due to pressure. The face and jaw are still in the protruding part of the S-shape, which does not affect the stability of the head. 3. Separate the inflatable pillow and the combined pillow. Place the inflatable pillow under the shoulders of the patient in a supine position with the neck extended. Separate the two combined pillows appropriately and place the patient's head between them.

Detailed Implementation

[0012] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0013] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0014] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, the orientations used, such as "up" and "down", usually refer to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "left" and "right" usually refer to the left and right shown in the accompanying drawings; "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not used to limit this utility model.

[0015] like Figure 1-4As shown, this application provides an operating room-specific pillow with adjustable height and shape, including an inflatable pillow 1. A first assembled pillow 21 and a second assembled pillow are provided on the upper side of the inflatable pillow 1. Both the first assembled pillow 21 and the second assembled pillow 22 are connected to the inflatable pillow 1 by a fixing strap 3.

[0016] An airbag 11 is connected to one side of the inflatable pillow 1 via a pipe, and a three-way switch 12 is installed on the pipe connecting the inflatable pillow 1 and the airbag 11.

[0017] The first assembled pillow 21 and the second assembled pillow 22 are joined in an S-shape.

The first adhesive strip 211 can be bonded to the second assembled pillow 22, and the second adhesive strip 221 can be bonded to the first assembled pillow 21.

[0019] When the patient is in a supine position, this adjustable operating room pillow can be used normally. The height can be adjusted by inflating or deflating the pillow 1 through the air bladder 11 and the three-way switch 12.

[0020] When the patient is in a prone position, first separate the first adhesive strip 211 and the second adhesive strip 221. Then separate the first assembled pillow 21 and the second assembled pillow 22 by a certain distance, and then re-adhere and fix the first adhesive strip 211 and the second adhesive strip 221. Position the patient's eyes precisely in the S-shaped recess between the first assembled pillow 21 and the second assembled pillow 22, with the face and chin still in the protruding part of the S-shape, without affecting head stability. Reversing the pillow direction is suitable for left / right lying positions. When the patient is in a supine position with neck extension, separate the first assembled pillow 21, the second assembled pillow 22, and the inflatable pillow 1. Adjust the distance between the assembled pillows and the inflatable pillow as needed by adjusting the fixing strap 3. Place the inflatable pillow 1 under the shoulders, adjusting its height as needed. Place the first assembled pillow 21 and the second assembled pillow 22 under the head, separated by a certain distance, allowing the head to rest in the recess between them. Secure the first adhesive strip 211 and the second adhesive strip 221, and the head will be stably positioned.
