Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical rehabilitation equipment technology, specifically to a lower limb elevation pillow for patients with femoral neck fractures. Background Technology

[0002] Femoral neck fracture is a common orthopedic condition, most frequently seen in middle-aged and elderly individuals, often caused by low-energy injuries such as falls. Post-operatively, patients require prolonged bed rest, resulting in limited lower limb movement and slowed blood circulation, greatly increasing the risk of serious complications such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Once DVT forms, it can lead to pulmonary embolism, endangering the patient's life.

[0003] Currently, ordinary pillows or simple cushions are commonly used in clinical practice to elevate patients' lower limbs to promote blood return and prevent deep vein thrombosis. However, traditional cushions have several shortcomings: First, their height and length are insufficient, making it impossible to effectively elevate the lower limbs to the ideal angle and create a sufficient pressure gradient to promote blood return; second, their shape design is unreasonable, resulting in poor fit to the human lower limb structure, causing discomfort for patients with prolonged use and even leading to local pressure sores; third, they lack a fixation device for T-shaped shoes, making it easy for the patient's lower limbs to slide and shift, affecting the elevation effect. T-shaped shoes are routinely worn after intertrochanteric fractures of the femur, femoral head fractures, or after total hip or femoral head replacement surgery to fix the affected limb, maintain its abduction and neutral position, and prevent complications such as foot drop, prosthesis dislocation, and malunion. Many patients undergoing lower limb surgery usually need to wear T-shaped shoes during rehabilitation training.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, it is necessary to design a lower limb elevation pillow specifically for patients with femoral neck fractures, in order to better meet clinical needs and improve patient rehabilitation outcomes. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lower limb elevation pillow for patients with femoral neck fractures, aiming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lower limb elevation pillow for patients with femoral neck fractures, comprising a head, a middle part, and a tail, wherein the head, middle part, and tail are connected to each other to form a whole, the longitudinal section of the head is a right-angled fan shape, the longitudinal section of the middle part is a concave shape, and the tail is a cuboid shape, the upper surface of the middle part is provided with an arc-shaped groove, and the upper surface of the tail is provided with a slot, the slot being used to place the wooden strip of the bottom of a T-shaped shoe.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the lower limb elevation pillow is made of breathable sponge, and the outer surface of the lower limb elevation pillow is wrapped with a cotton cloth cover.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the slot is 25 cm long, 2 cm wide, and 1 to 2 cm deep.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the length of the lower limb elevation pillow is 68 cm and the width is 45 cm, and the lengths of the head, middle part and tail part are 20 cm, 30 cm and 18 cm respectively.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the height of the tail is 25 cm, the height of the middle part near the head is 20 cm, and the height of the middle part near the tail is 25 cm; the surface connection between the head and the middle part is smoothly transitioned, and the surface connection between the middle part and the tail is smoothly transitioned.

[0011] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention, combining the principles of lower limb ergonomics and through a scientifically designed structure, effectively solves the problems of traditional cushions and has the following significant benefits: Effectively elevates the lower limbs and promotes blood circulation: This pillow features an increased height and length compared to its predecessor, effectively elevating the patient's lower limbs to an ideal angle. This creates a significant pressure gradient, promoting venous blood return and significantly reducing the risk of deep vein thrombosis. Simultaneously, the deepened concavity design allows the pillow to better conform to the structure of the lower limbs, distributing pressure and reducing localized pressure, thus improving patient comfort.

[0012] Enhanced fixation with T-shaped shoe slots: This cushion features innovative slots on its surface for securing T-shaped shoes. T-shaped shoes are commonly used fixation devices for patients with femoral neck fractures, effectively preventing external rotation of the lower limb and maintaining stability at the fracture site. The slot design ensures the T-shaped shoe is firmly fixed to the cushion, preventing slippage and ensuring the continuity and stability of the elevation effect. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides a lower limb elevation pillow for patients with femoral neck fractures, comprising a head 1, a middle part 2, and a tail 3. The head 1, middle part 2, and tail 3 are interconnected to form a whole. The longitudinal section of the head 1 is a right-angled fan shape, the longitudinal section of the middle part 2 is a concave shape, and the tail 3 is a cuboid shape. The upper surface of the middle part 2 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 5, and the upper surface of the tail 3 is provided with a slot 4. The slot 4 is used to place the wooden strip of the bottom of a T-shaped shoe. Through the design of the slot 4, the T-shaped shoe can be firmly fixed on the pillow, avoiding the problem of the patient's lower limb sliding and displacement, and ensuring the continuity and stability of the elevation effect.

[0021] In this embodiment of the invention, the lower limb elevation pillow is made of breathable sponge, and its outer surface is wrapped with a cotton cloth cover. The breathable sponge provides excellent elasticity and breathability. It effectively absorbs and releases moisture, keeping the pillow surface dry and reducing the risk of skin dampness and infection. Simultaneously, the cotton cloth cover not only increases the pillow's softness and comfort but also facilitates washing and replacement, maintaining its cleanliness and hygiene.

[0022] In this embodiment of the invention, the slot 4 is 25 cm long, 2 cm wide, and 1 to 2 cm deep. The lower limb elevating pillow is 68 cm long and 45 cm wide. The head 1, middle part 2, and tail 3 are 20 cm, 30 cm, and 18 cm long, respectively. The design is enhanced by increasing the height and length, and deepening the concavity, to better fit the structure of the human lower limbs.

[0023] In this embodiment of the utility model, the height of the tail 3 is 25 cm, the height of the middle part 2 near the head 1 is 20 cm, and the height of the middle part 2 near the tail 3 is 25 cm; the surface connection between the head 1 and the middle part 2 is smoothly connected, and the surface connection between the middle part 2 and the tail 3 is smoothly connected.

[0024] This utility model is ergonomically designed to improve patient comfort. The pillow's design fully considers the physiological structure and mechanical characteristics of the lower limbs. Through increased height, length, and depth of concavity, the pillow perfectly conforms to the lower limbs, reducing discomfort from prolonged use. Patients experience more comfortable and stable support during use, which helps improve their confidence and motivation for recovery.
