Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pressure ulcer prevention pad technology, specifically a combinable bed pressure ulcer prevention pad for elderly care. Background Technology

[0002] Elderly people who are bedridden for long periods and have limited mobility often develop pressure sores due to prolonged pressure on their skin and subcutaneous tissues, leading to local ischemia, ulceration, and even necrosis. Vertical pressure acting on the skin is the main cause of pressure sores. Pressure sore pads (also known as bedsore pads) are medical care devices specifically designed to prevent and alleviate pressure injuries. Their core function is to physically distribute pressure and improve blood circulation, thereby reducing the risk of pressure sores in people who are bedridden or have limited mobility.

[0003] Most existing pressure ulcer prevention mattresses for elderly care are one-piece structures, which cannot be changed in terms of the area to be laid. This makes it impossible to adjust them according to the size of the bed and the needs of the patient. Moreover, if any part of the pressure ulcer prevention mattress is damaged, the entire mattress is scrapped, resulting in unnecessary waste.

[0004] Therefore, it is particularly important to design a modular bed pad for elderly care to prevent pressure sores and overcome the above-mentioned technical defects, thereby improving its overall practicality. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular bed pad for preventing pressure sores in elderly care, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A modular bed pad for elderly care to prevent pressure ulcers includes a main body composed of a fixable pad and a connectable pad. Both the fixable and connectable pads have multiple sets of evenly distributed pressure-resistant airflow holes inside. Connecting sides are provided on the left and front sides of both the fixable and connectable pads, with buttonholes embedded at both ends. The outer sides of the fixable and connectable pads are located on the right and rear sides... Both sides are provided with connecting side two, and each end of the connecting side two is embedded with a snap fastener for use with a buttonhole. The corner of the outer side of the fixable part pad is connected with a pad connecting strap. The bottom surface of both the fixable part pad and the connectable part pad is provided with a Velcro layer. The bottom of both the fixable part pad and the connectable part pad is provided with an anti-slip pad. The inside of the anti-slip pad is evenly provided with openings that correspond to the positions of the pressure sore airflow holes. The lower surface of the anti-slip pad is evenly distributed with anti-slip protrusions.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the fixable pad and the connectable pad are made of polymer honeycomb structure gel.

[0009] The above technical solution utilizes the extensibility and fluidity of polymer gels to disperse pressure, making it suitable for those who sweat easily or are temperature sensitive.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fixable pad and the connectable pad are designed to be separable and assembled. There are four sets of the fixable pad, which are located at the four vertices respectively.

[0011] The above technical solution allows the mattress connecting strap on the outside of the mattress to be fixed and tied to the edge of the bed.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the pressure ulcer prevention airflow holes are provided in multiple sets and are evenly distributed in a matrix structure inside the fixable part pad and the connectable part pad.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, the evenly distributed airflow holes for preventing pressure sores can enhance ventilation and heat dissipation, and reduce infections caused by skin moisture.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the connection between the buttonhole and the snap fastener is a snap-fit ​​connection. Both the first connecting side and the second connecting side are fixed to the outside of the fixable pad and the connectable pad by gluing. Both the first connecting side and the second connecting side are made of breathable cotton material.

[0015] The above technical solution allows for the arbitrary assembly of the size and placement of the pressure ulcer prevention mat according to the area of ​​the bed board and the needs of elderly patients.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper surface of the anti-slip mat is provided with an adhesive layer that is bonded to the Velcro layer. The anti-slip mat is designed to be separable from the fixed part and the connectable part. The anti-slip mat is made of anti-slip cotton cloth.

[0017] The above technical solutions increase the stability after installation, prevent displacement, and make the installation easy to disassemble and clean.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] This invention utilizes a modular anti-pressure ulcer mattress for elderly care, transforming the original one-piece anti-pressure ulcer mattress into a multi-module, freely combinable design. The size and arrangement of the mattress can be freely assembled according to the bed area and the needs of the elderly patient. Quick assembly is achieved by connecting the eyelets on one side of one set of mattresses to the snap fasteners on the other side. A connecting strap is also provided on the outer side of the fixable part of the mattress for securing it to the bedside. Furthermore, the bottom of both the fixable and connectable parts of the mattress are reinforced with a flexible, adjustable strap. The surgical pad features a removable anti-slip mat with evenly distributed anti-slip bumps on its bottom surface, increasing stability after application and preventing displacement. Its removability also facilitates cleaning. Utilizing a high-polymer honeycomb gel for uniform pressure distribution, it evenly distributes body weight, preventing continuous pressure on bony prominences (such as the sacrum, coccyx, and heels), thus reducing pressure sores. The evenly distributed anti-pressure sore air vents enhance ventilation and heat dissipation, reducing infections caused by skin moisture. This pressure sore pad is not only easy to use but also greatly improves flexibility. Furthermore, any damage to the pad can be replaced individually, significantly reducing unnecessary waste.

[0028] A modular bed pad for elderly care to prevent pressure ulcers includes a main body 1, which is composed of a fixable pad 2 and a connectable pad 3. Both the fixable pad 2 and the connectable pad 3 have multiple sets of evenly distributed pressure-resistant airflow holes 4 inside. Connecting sides 5 are provided on the left and front sides of both the fixable pad 2 and the connectable pad 3. Each end of the connecting side 5 has a snap-fit ​​element 501 embedded inside. The outer sides of the fixable pad 2 and the connectable pad 3 are provided with connecting side 2 6 on the right and rear sides. Both ends of the connecting side 2 6 are embedded with snap fasteners 601 that cooperate with the eyelet 501. The corner of the outer side of the fixable pad 2 is connected with a pad connecting strap 7. The bottom surface of the fixable pad 2 and the connectable pad 3 is provided with a Velcro layer 8. The bottom of the fixable pad 2 and the connectable pad 3 is provided with an anti-slip pad 9.

[0029] Both the fixable pad 2 and the connectable pad 3 are made of polymer honeycomb structure gel. The extensibility and fluidity of the polymer gel disperse pressure, making it suitable for people who sweat easily or are temperature sensitive.

[0030] The fixed part pad 2 and the connectable part pad 3 are designed to be separable and assembled. The fixed part pad 2 has four sets, which are located at the four vertices. The pad connecting strap on the outside of the fixed part pad can be tied and fixed to the edge of the bed.

[0031] Multiple sets of anti-pressure sore airflow holes 4 are provided and are evenly opened in a matrix structure inside the fixable part pad 2 and the connectable part pad 3. The evenly distributed anti-pressure sore airflow holes can enhance ventilation and heat dissipation and reduce infection caused by skin moisture.

[0032] The connection between the buttonhole piece 501 and the snap fastener 601 is a snap-fit ​​connection. Both the first connecting side 5 and the second connecting side 6 are fixed to the outside of the fixable pad 2 and the connectable pad 3 by gluing. Both the first connecting side 5 and the second connecting side 6 are made of breathable cotton material. The size and arrangement of the anti-pressure sore pad can be freely assembled according to the area of ​​the bed board and the needs of elderly patients.

[0033] In this embodiment, the interior of the anti-slip mat 9 is uniformly provided with openings 901 that correspond to the positions of the anti-pressure sore airflow holes 4, and the lower surface of the anti-slip mat 9 is uniformly provided with anti-slip protrusions 902.

[0034] The upper surface of the anti-slip mat 9 is provided with an adhesive layer that is bonded to the Velcro layer 8. The anti-slip mat 9 is detachable from the fixed part 2 and the connectable part 3. The anti-slip mat 9 is made of anti-slip cotton cloth, which increases the stability after laying and prevents displacement. It is also easy to clean as it is removable.

[0035] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When the modular anti-pressure ulcer mattress for elderly care designed using this scheme is in operation, the original one-piece anti-pressure ulcer mattress is transformed into a multi-module, freely combinable anti-pressure ulcer mattress. The size and arrangement of the anti-pressure ulcer mattress can be freely assembled according to the area of ​​the bed board and the needs of the elderly patient. Quick assembly is achieved by connecting the eyelets 501 on one set of mattress connecting side 5 to the snap fasteners 601 on another set of mattress connecting side 6. The outer side of the fixable part 2 is also equipped with a mattress connecting strap 7, which can be tied and fixed to the bedside. Simultaneously, the fixable part 2 and the connecting... The bottom of the pad 3 is also equipped with a removable anti-slip mat 9 through a Velcro layer 8. The bottom surface of the mat has evenly distributed anti-slip protrusions 902, which increases the stability after installation and prevents displacement. It is also removable and easy to clean. The body weight is evenly distributed through the pressure equalization method of polymer honeycomb structure gel, which avoids continuous pressure on bony prominences (such as the sacrum, coccyx, and heels) and reduces the occurrence of pressure sores. At the same time, the evenly distributed anti-pressure sore air vents 4 can enhance ventilation and heat dissipation and reduce infection caused by skin moisture. This pressure sore pad is not only easy to operate, but also greatly improves the flexibility of use. If a part of the pad is damaged, it can be replaced individually, which greatly reduces unnecessary waste.

[0036] All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art and are also general components, which are common knowledge in this field.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
