Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a disposable operating room multi-purpose knee-bending positioning pad. Background Technology
[0002] In surgical procedures, especially knee surgery or intramedullary nailing of the tibia, knee flexion is required first. The flexion angle needs to be adjusted at any time during the operation. The operation may require alternating and repeated knee flexion and extension movements.
[0003] Currently, when positioning the patient in a knee-flexed position in the operating room, a surgical drape is typically rolled into a rod and placed under the patient's feet to maintain the knee flexion. This method requires repeated adjustments, is inconvenient, and is prone to shifting or loosening during use, affecting the support. Furthermore, it requires additional patient restraint and the use of pads and surgical films to protect patient privacy. The drape also wrinkles easily, increasing physical and psychological discomfort for the patient during repeated procedures. While existing patents include instruments for knee flexion, they all require placement on the operating table. These instruments must be removed during positional changes and then repositioned afterward, impacting the surgical process, prolonging operation time, and reducing surgical efficiency and safety.
[0004] Therefore, it is desirable to have a technical solution to overcome or at least mitigate at least one of the aforementioned defects of the prior art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a disposable operating room knee-bending positioning pad to overcome or at least mitigate one of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art.
[0006] This utility model of a disposable operating room multi-purpose knee flexion positioning pad can be laid on the operating table with a suitable surface selected according to the type of surgery during preoperative preparation. The second set of pads allows medical staff to adjust the placement of the foot support rollers, thereby enabling quick adjustment of the patient's knee flexion angle before, during, and after surgery.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a disposable operating room multi-purpose knee-bending positioning pad, which includes: The body has a head end and a tail end; a first set of body is connected to the head end; The second set of supports, which may be multiple, begins from one side of the main body and extends along the width of the main body; the second set of supports is positioned near the tail end of the main body. Medical staff can selectively place a support pillow for the patient's head and neck within the first set of supports, depending on factors such as the type of surgery and the patient's body shape. A foot support roller for the patient's feet is inserted into one of the second sets of supports. This creates a stable support force between the patient's head, neck, and feet, facilitating knee positioning and ensuring knee stability. During surgery, if it is necessary to adjust the patient's knee angle, medical staff simply need to remove the foot support roller from the original second set of supports and insert it into another second set of supports in a suitable position. Positioning adjustments are convenient and significantly save the physical and manpower of medical staff.
[0008] Preferably, the main body is defined along its length as including a left portion and a right portion; the second sleeve is disposed on the right portion; the second sleeve includes multiple upper sleeves disposed on a first surface of the main body and multiple lower sleeves disposed on a second surface of the main body. The second sleeve is disposed on both the upper and lower surfaces of the same side of the main body, allowing for rapid adjustment to different surgical sites. When the patient's surgical site is on the right knee, after laying the main body face up on the operating table, the second sleeve is positioned below the patient's right calf. When the patient's surgical site is on the left knee, after laying the main body face up on the operating table, the second sleeve is positioned below the patient's left calf. This significantly reduces preoperative preparation time and intraoperative adjustment time.
[0009] Preferably, the body is defined along its length as including a left portion and a right portion; the second sleeve is disposed on the left portion; the second sleeve includes a plurality of upper sleeves disposed on a first surface of the body and a plurality of lower sleeves disposed on a second surface of the body.
[0010] Preferably, the first sleeve extends along the width direction of the main body, and a support pillow for supporting the patient's head and neck is provided inside the first sleeve.
[0011] Preferably, the length of the second sleeve does not exceed two-thirds of the width of the main body. To increase the stability of the foot support roller and provide a more stable abutment force, based on practical experience, the optimal length of the second sleeve is half the width of the main body, thus not affecting the comfort of the patient's other limb placement. Furthermore, after the surgery, after removing the foot support roller and headrest, the main body can also be used to transfer the patient.
[0012] Preferably, the second sets of pads are arranged in parallel at equal intervals. Arranging the second sets at equal intervals divides the lower half of the main body into equal parts, allowing for more precise adjustment of the knee flexion angle within a certain range. The more second sets there are, the greater the range of knee flexion angle adjustment available to the patient. Considering manufacturing costs, positioning pads of different sizes and quantities can be produced according to the patient's body type, such as for adults, children, or special body types.
[0013] Preferably, the main body, the first set, and the second kit are all made of disposable medical fabric.
[0014] Preferably, it further includes: a foot support roller, which is inserted into one of the sleeves of the second sleeve for the patient to push against to form a knee-bent position.
[0015] Preferably, the foot support roller is a long, narrow, sealed airbag. The sealed airbag is not inflated when the product leaves the factory. During preoperative preparation, it can be inflated appropriately according to the patient's body shape, and the height of the foot support roller can be adjusted based on the inflation amount to facilitate the stability of the patient's foot.
[0016] This utility model relates to a disposable operating room multi-purpose knee flexion positioning pad, preferably made of disposable medical non-woven fabric. It features a simple structure, reasonable design, convenient processing, and low production cost. It can be used in various surgical procedures, especially knee joint surgery or tibial intramedullary nail implantation. Medical staff can quickly and in real-time insert the foot support roller into different second sets of bodies according to the similarity of the surgery, the surgical site, and the patient's body shape, thereby adjusting the relative position of the foot support roller from the first set and thus adjusting the patient's knee flexion angle. Simultaneously, no components are placed on the opposite side of the second set, providing excellent patient comfort. After surgery, the support pillow and foot support roller can be removed, and the pad can be transferred with the patient, greatly improving surgical efficiency. Attached Figure Description
