Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an auxiliary tool for preventing pressure ulcers. Background Technology

[0002] For critically ill, emaciated, and long-term bedridden patients, their skin tolerance is generally poor. Prolonged pressure on bony prominences such as the occiput, auricle, and ankles can easily obstruct local blood circulation, significantly increasing the risk of pressure ulcers. Furthermore, maintaining a single sleeping position for extended periods not only causes discomfort and reduces comfort but also complicates clinical positioning management. For example, postures such as ankle eversion or internal rotation can further exacerbate local pressure, creating a risk of pressure ulcers.

[0003] In current clinical practice, placing small soft pillows under the patient's ankles is a common method to distribute pressure and protect the local skin. However, this method has significant drawbacks: these small pillows lack effective fixation and are prone to displacement or slippage due to changes in patient position such as turning over or moving, making it difficult to maintain a stable, pre-set protective position. This instability makes it difficult to maintain their protective effect, failing to ensure continuous and effective pressure relief support, increasing the burden on nursing staff, and also affecting the patient's treatment experience and recovery process.

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0016] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this invention shall have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," and similar words used in this invention do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Terms such as "comprising" or "including" mean that the element or object preceding the word encompasses the elements or objects listed following the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Terms such as "connected" or "linked" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.

[0017] In current clinical practice, small soft pillows are often placed under the patient's ankles to distribute pressure and protect the local skin. However, this method has significant drawbacks: these small pillows lack effective fixation and are prone to displacement or slippage due to changes in patient position such as turning over or moving, making it difficult to maintain a stable, pre-set protective position. This instability makes it difficult to maintain the protective effect, ensuring continuous and effective pressure relief support, increasing the burden of nursing care, and also affecting the patient's treatment experience and recovery process. To address the above technical problems, this utility model provides an auxiliary tool for preventing pressure ulcers. The tool has an overall I-shaped design, including a headrest and footrest, connected by a central cushion. It has the advantage of high stability and can provide stable, continuous, and effective pressure relief support for the patient. The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with specific examples.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the present invention relates to an auxiliary tool for preventing pressure sores, including a head pillow 1, a bolster 2 and a foot pad 3, wherein the bolster 2 is arranged vertically and connects the head pillow 1 and the foot pad 3.

[0019] In this embodiment, the headrest 1, the bolster 2, and the footrest 3 constitute an I-shaped support system, which can simultaneously provide stable support for the patient's head, sides of the torso, and feet, effectively dispersing body pressure. It is especially suitable for patients who are bedridden for a long time. This utility model provides an auxiliary tool for preventing pressure sores, which has the advantage of high stability in use and can provide stable, continuous, and effective pressure relief support for patients.

[0020] In one embodiment, the overall structure of the foot pad 3 is further refined. The foot pad 3 is provided with a mounting hole 4 for the pillow 2 to pass through and be installed. The foot pad 3 is also provided with a restraining member 5 for securing and fixing it to the pillow 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, the restraining member 5 includes a cotton rope, which is specifically fixed to the edge of the mounting hole 4.

[0021] It should be noted that the restraint component 5 allows for stepless adjustment of the foot pad 3. In actual use, medical staff can adjust the position of the foot pad 3 according to the patient's specific height and leg length to provide optimal pressure relief support for the patient's ankle. The restraint component 5 not only makes this tool highly flexible in use but also solves the problem of small pillow displacement or slippage caused by patient turning or moving in clinical practice, ensuring the continuity and stability of patient positioning management.

[0022] In this embodiment, specifically, the foot pad 3 is cylindrical, and the mounting hole 4 is located in the middle of the foot pad 3.

[0023] It should be noted that the cylindrical design of the foot pad 3 makes the contact surface of the foot pad 3 smoother, thus providing a support method without sharp edges, which can better conform to the curve of the human leg, evenly distribute the pressure of the ankle joint, and further optimize the patient's comfort.

[0024] In this embodiment, specifically, one side of the headrest 1 is the connecting side, and the end of the pillow 2 is connected to the middle of the connecting side.

[0025] The pillow 2 is designed with a symmetrical structure. Whether the patient is lying on their back, left, or right side, the pillow 2 can provide support from the side of the body, forming a stable mechanical triangle, which significantly improves the stability of the body position and the patient's comfort in different sleeping positions.

[0026] In one embodiment, the overall structure of the headrest 1 is further refined. The headrest 1 includes a partition 6, which divides the headrest 1 into a soft cushion cavity and a hard cushion cavity.

[0027] It should be noted that the partition 6 serves as a kinetic divider, with the soft and hard cushions creating two distinct support characteristics on the headrest 1. The soft cushion area is designed for patients who prefer a soft, enveloping feel, while the hard cushion area provides stable support for patients who require stronger neck support, thus meeting the needs of different patients without the need to change the pillow.

[0028] In this embodiment, it is preferable that both the soft pad cavity and the hard pad cavity are provided with positioning grooves 7 for the head to sink into.

[0029] The positioning groove 7 serves to position the head. The overall structure is not rigidly fixed, but rather provides a natural recessed positioning space for the head through its curved positioning groove 7, which helps to keep the head and neck in a neutral position and also helps to keep the patient's body position stable.

[0030] Optionally, a detachable pillowcase is provided on the headrest 1 for easy disassembly, cleaning and disinfection.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
