Chinese medicine bone injury splint

Abstract

This utility model relates to a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) bone injury splint, comprising an upper side plate, a lower side plate, a radial side plate, an ulnar side plate, and a binding strap. Each of the upper, lower, radial, and ulnar side plates has several permeation holes for the penetration of TCM, resulting in a hollow structure. At least one observation hole on the upper and lower side plates is included among the permeation holes at the wrist. This allows for the direct application of TCM to the outside of the splint without disassembling it. The TCM can act on the injured area through the permeation holes, eliminating the need for disassembly and reassembly of traditional splints. This makes medication application more convenient and faster, effectively solving the problem that existing bone injury splints cannot effectively adapt to the frequent changes of external TCM application, requiring patients to repeatedly disassemble and reassemble the splint. It reduces the number of times the splint needs to be opened for medication changes, ensuring the continuity of splint treatment, avoiding any impact on the stability of the fracture site, and promoting stable fracture recovery.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bone injury splint technology, specifically to a traditional Chinese medicine bone injury splint. Background Technology

[0002] Orthopedic splints are common medical devices used to immobilize fractured areas. Existing orthopedic splints are typically fixed to the patient's limb using methods such as bandages, providing strong support, restricting movement of the fractured area, and thus aiding in healing.

[0003] Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes a combination of internal and external treatments in the treatment of bone injuries, with external application of Chinese herbal medicine being an important method. This involves applying medication to the wound or fracture site, allowing it to be absorbed through the skin to reduce swelling, relieve pain, promote blood circulation, and accelerate fracture healing.

[0004] Although both traditional splints and topical medications have significant therapeutic effects in the treatment of bone injuries, the traditional splint design cannot be effectively coordinated with the use of topical Chinese medicine during treatment, and the splint needs to be removed every time the topical Chinese medicine is changed.

[0005] On the one hand, frequent disassembly and reassembly of splints can affect the continuity of splint treatment. Each disassembly and reassembly of splints will interfere with the fracture alignment, affect the stability of the fracture site, and may lead to fracture displacement or misalignment, thus delaying healing.

[0006] On the other hand, patients need to go to the hospital for professional operation each time the medication is changed, which is quite inconvenient. Especially during the recovery period of fracture, patients need to change the external medication frequently, and at this time the splint has to be removed, which makes the treatment process complicated. This is not conducive to the healing of bone injury, nor can it maximize the effect of external Chinese medicine, thus delaying the recovery process.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to study a traditional Chinese medicine splint for bone injuries. Utility Model Content

[0008] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine bone injury splint that can effectively solve the problems that existing bone injury splints cannot effectively adapt to the need for frequent changes of external application of Chinese medicine and that patients need to repeatedly disassemble and reinstall the splint.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0010] A traditional Chinese medicine bone injury splint includes an upper side plate, a lower side plate, a radial side plate, an ulnar side plate, and a binding strap;

[0011] The upper side plate, lower side plate, radial side plate, and ulnar side plate are all provided with a number of permeation holes for the penetration of traditional Chinese medicine, so that the upper side plate, lower side plate, radial side plate, and ulnar side plate are all hollow structures;

[0012] The permeation holes on the upper and lower side plates include at least one observation hole located at the wrist.

[0013] The upper side plate, lower side plate, radial side plate and ulnar side plate are all fixed with ring seats on their left and right sides, and the ring seats are provided with connecting rings;

[0014] The binding strap passes through the corresponding connecting rings on the adjacent side plates and binds the adjacent side plates together.

[0015] Furthermore, the observation hole is an elliptical hole along the length of the upper and lower side plates.

[0016] Furthermore, the ring seat is U-shaped and is fixedly covered on the left and right sides of each side plate, and the connecting ring is hinged to the side end face of the ring seat.

[0017] Furthermore, the front end of the upper side plate is bent towards the palm, while the ends of the lower side plate, radial side plate, and ulnar side plate are bent away from the palm.

[0018] Furthermore, dressing grooves are provided in the middle area of ​​the outer surface of the upper side plate, lower side plate, radial side plate and ulnar side plate, and the permeation holes are distributed in the dressing grooves.

[0019] Furthermore, the bottom of the dressing tank is provided with several staggered external liquid tanks, which are connected to each permeation hole.

[0020] Furthermore, the inner surfaces of the upper side plate, lower side plate, radial side plate, and ulnar side plate are each provided with several staggered inner liquid grooves, which are connected to each permeation hole and extend to the side and connect to the outside.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:

[0022] (1) The splint of this utility model has a hollow structure formed by setting permeation holes, which allows for the direct application of traditional Chinese medicine on the outside of the splint without disassembling the splint. The traditional Chinese medicine can act on the injured area through the permeation holes, eliminating the need for disassembly and assembly of traditional splints, making the medication operation more convenient and quick. It effectively solves the problem that existing bone injury splints cannot effectively adapt to the need for frequent changes of external application of traditional Chinese medicine, and patients need to repeatedly disassemble and reinstall the splint. It reduces the number of times the splint needs to be opened for medication, ensures the continuity of splint treatment, avoids affecting the stability of the fracture site, and is conducive to the stable recovery of the fracture.

[0023] (2) The hollow design of the splint of this utility model allows air to flow between the splint and the patient's skin, thereby improving the breathability of the splint during use; in addition, it can reduce the contact area between the splint and the patient's skin, effectively avoid skin pressure injury, promote wound healing, and ensure the patient's comfort.

[0024] (3) The present invention provides connecting rings on the side of each side plate, and the binding strap passes through the corresponding connecting rings on the adjacent side plates and binds the adjacent side plates together. Compared with the traditional binding strap wrapping method, it can avoid the binding strap blocking the permeation holes on the surface of each side plate, and ensure the effect of the hollow structure in terms of Chinese medicine permeability and breathability.

[0025] (4) The upper side plate, lower side plate, radial side plate, and ulnar side plate of this utility model are all provided with dressing grooves in the middle area of ​​their outer surfaces. The permeation holes are distributed in the dressing grooves, so that some of the externally applied Chinese medicine and medicinal liquid can be accumulated in the dressing grooves, reducing the overflow and loss of medicinal liquid and ensuring that the medicinal liquid flows smoothly into the permeation holes. Several staggered external liquid grooves are provided at the bottom of the dressing grooves. The external liquid grooves are connected to each permeation hole, so that the medicinal liquid can flow along the external liquid grooves into the permeation holes, improving the permeation effect of the externally applied Chinese medicine.

[0026] (5) Several staggered inner liquid grooves are provided on the inner surfaces of the upper side plate, lower side plate, radial side plate and ulnar side plate. The inner liquid grooves are connected to each permeation hole, so that the medicine flowing in from the permeation hole can flow along the inner liquid groove, increasing the diffusion range and action range of the medicine on the inner wall of the side plate. The inner liquid grooves extend to the side and connect to the outside, which can enhance the air permeability of the clamp. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0033] Example 1: This example aims to provide a traditional Chinese medicine bone injury splint, which is mainly used for the treatment of radius and ulna fractures. It addresses the problem that existing bone injury splints cannot effectively adapt to the need for frequent changes of external Chinese medicine, and that patients need to repeatedly disassemble and reinstall the splint.

[0034] A type of traditional Chinese medicine bone injury splint, such as Figure 1 The splint includes an upper side plate 1, a lower side plate 2, a radial side plate 3, an ulnar side plate 4, and a binding strap 5. The splint is made of bamboo, which is tough and strong, facilitating close contact with the patient's skin for clamping and positioning, thus aiding in traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic treatment. The upper side plate 1, lower side plate 2, radial side plate 3, and ulnar side plate 4 each have several permeation holes 8 for the penetration of traditional Chinese medicine, giving them a perforated structure.

[0035] Specifically, the permeation holes 8 on the upper side plate 1 include two large round holes and one observation hole 9. The permeation holes 8 on the lower side plate 2 include one large round hole and one observation hole 9. The radial side plate 3 and the ulnar side plate 4 have basically the same structure, and their permeation holes 8 each include five small round holes arranged at intervals along the length direction.

[0036] The perforated design of the splint allows for the direct application of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) without removing the splint. The medicine can penetrate through the 8 permeation holes to reach the injured area, eliminating the need for disassembly and reassembly of traditional splints. This makes medication application more convenient and faster, effectively solving the problem that existing bone injury splints cannot effectively adapt to the need for frequent changes of external TCM application and that patients need to repeatedly disassemble and reinstall the splint. It reduces the number of times the splint needs to be opened for medication changes, ensures the continuity of splint treatment, avoids affecting the stability of the fracture site, and is conducive to the stable recovery of the fracture.

[0037] On the other hand, the perforated design of the splint allows air to flow between the splint and the patient's skin, thereby improving the breathability of the splint during use. In addition, it can reduce the contact area between the splint and the patient's skin, effectively avoiding pressure sores on the affected skin, which is conducive to wound healing and ensures the patient's comfort.

[0038] Specifically, the observation holes 9 are all elliptical holes along the length of the upper side plate 1 and the lower side plate 2. The size of the observation holes 9 is larger than that of the other permeation holes 8. When the upper side plate 1 and the lower side plate 2 are correctly deployed, the observation holes 9 are all located at the wrist. This is mainly because the wrist is the main injury site for radius and ulna fractures. On the one hand, it facilitates direct observation of the injury site, and on the other hand, it facilitates the direct application of traditional Chinese medicine to the injury site, thereby improving the efficacy of the external application of traditional Chinese medicine. In other embodiments, the observation holes 9 can also adopt the same large circular hole structure as the other permeation holes 8.

[0039] Considering that the existing wrapping method may affect the perforation effect on the surface of the splint, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper side plate 1, lower side plate 2, radial side plate 3, and ulnar side plate 4 all have grooves on their left and right sides. A ring seat 6 is fixed within each groove, and a connecting ring 7 is mounted on the ring seat 6 for connecting the binding strap. Specifically, the ring seat 6 is U-shaped and is fixedly wrapped within the grooves on the left and right sides of each side plate. The connecting ring 7 is hinged to the side end face of the ring seat 6. The binding strap 5 passes through the corresponding connecting ring 7 on adjacent side plates and binds the adjacent side plates together. Compared to the traditional method of wrapping the binding strap around the surface, this avoids the binding strap obstructing the permeation holes 8 on the surface of each side plate, ensuring the effectiveness of the hollow structure in terms of herbal medicine penetration and breathability.

[0040] The straps can be made of elastic bands or by directly binding adjacent side panels with knots. These are all existing technologies and will not be elaborated here.

[0041] In this embodiment, the upper side plate 1 is used above the wrist, that is, near the back of the hand, and the front end of the upper side plate 1 is bent towards the palm, that is, the curvature is downward; the lower side plate 2 is used below the wrist, that is, near the palm, and the lower side plate 2 is bent away from the palm, that is, the curvature is downward; the radial side plate 3 and the ulnar side plate 4 are used on both sides of the wrist, both of which are bent away from the palm, so as to be used for Klebsiella fracture (extension fracture).

[0042] In other embodiments, the upper side plate 1 can also be used below the wrist, that is, in the direction close to the palm, with the front end of the upper side plate 1 bent towards the direction close to the palm, that is, the curvature is upward; the lower side plate 2 is used above the wrist, that is, in the direction close to the back of the hand, with the lower side plate 2 bent away from the palm, that is, the curvature is upward; the radial side plate 3 and the ulnar side plate 4 are used on both sides of the wrist, both bent away from the palm, so as to be used for Smith fractures (flexion fractures).

[0043] Example 2 is basically the same as Example 1, except that the inner and outer surfaces of the clamping plate have been optimized and improved. This example further describes the structure.

[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 The middle area of ​​the outer surface of the upper side plate 1, lower side plate 2, radial side plate 3 and ulnar side plate 4 are all provided with dressing grooves 10, and the permeation holes 8 are distributed in the dressing grooves 10, so that some of the external Chinese medicine and medicine liquid can be accumulated in the dressing grooves 10, reducing the overflow and loss of medicine liquid, and ensuring that the medicine liquid flows smoothly into the permeation holes 8.

[0045] The bottom of the dressing trough 10 is provided with several staggered external liquid troughs 11, which are connected to each of the permeation holes 8, so that the medicine can flow along the external liquid troughs 11 into the permeation holes 8, thereby improving the permeation effect of the externally applied Chinese medicine.

[0046] like Figure 4 The inner surfaces of the upper side plate 1, lower side plate 2, radial side plate 3 and ulnar side plate 4 are provided with several staggered inner liquid grooves 12. The inner liquid grooves 12 are connected to each permeation hole 8, so that the medicine flowing in from the permeation hole 8 can flow along the inner liquid grooves 12, increasing the diffusion range and action range of the medicine on the inner wall of the side plate. In addition, the inner liquid grooves 12 extend to the side and connect to the outside, which can enhance the air permeability of the clamp.
