Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shoulder joint braces, and in particular to a multifunctional shoulder joint brace. Background Technology

[0002] Shoulder braces are typically made of polymer materials, fabrics, leather, metals, etc. They generally include an outer shell (providing stable support), an inner lining (made of soft materials to increase comfort), and an adjustment device (which can be customized). Some also have adjustable shoulder straps, clavicle restraints, etc., to restrict shoulder joint movement and provide stable fixation after shoulder surgery or injury, which is conducive to injury recovery. For example, after rotator cuff injury surgery, active shoulder joint movement is restricted to prevent secondary damage to the surgical site.

[0003] Existing shoulder abduction pillows typically lack a dedicated ice pack design. If patients require ice packs to reduce swelling post-surgery, the ice packs tend to shift and slip, making it impossible to apply ice continuously and precisely to the shoulder joint, significantly reducing the effectiveness of the ice pack. Furthermore, due to the low surface temperature of the ice pack, water vapor in the air condenses into small droplets, which not only wet the abduction pillow and the patient's clothing but may also cause skin discomfort or even infection risks, making the process extremely inconvenient. Moreover, most existing abduction pillows only provide single abduction support; when the patient lies flat, the upper arm is easily left unsupported, unable to receive adequate and effective support. This causes the upper arm muscles to remain tense for extended periods, leading to muscle fatigue and soreness, severely impacting the patient's rest quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a multifunctional shoulder joint brace.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A multifunctional shoulder joint brace includes a support pad and a shoulder joint sleeve. The shoulder joint sleeve is integrally connected to one side of the top of the support pad. The shoulder joint sleeve includes a placement groove, a waterproof layer, and a top cover. The placement groove is formed on the top of the shoulder joint sleeve. The waterproof layer is fixedly connected inside the placement groove. One side of the bottom of the top cover is integrally connected to the side of the opening of the shoulder joint sleeve. Zipper components are fixedly installed on one side of both the top cover and the shoulder joint sleeve. The top cover and the shoulder joint sleeve are fixedly connected by zippers. An ice pack is placed inside the placement groove, and the ice pack is attached to the waterproof layer.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the shoulder joint pad is provided with an upper arm sleeve, the upper arm sleeve is integrally connected to the support pad, a first binding rope is fixedly installed on the outside of the upper arm sleeve, and an underarm pad is fixedly connected to the side of the support pad near the upper arm sleeve.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the upper arm sleeve is provided with an abduction pillow at the bottom, the support pad is located on the back side of the abduction pillow, and the support pad and the abduction pillow are fixedly connected with a component of Velcro A at the contact points, and the support pad and the abduction pillow are fixedly connected by the Velcro A.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the underarm pad is located on one side of the top of the abduction pillow, and a forearm sleeve is integrally connected to one side of the top of the abduction pillow. The upper arm sleeve is connected to the forearm sleeve, and the forearm sleeve is located at the bottom of the shoulder joint pad.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a number of second binding ropes are fixedly connected to the outside of the forearm sleeve, and Velcro B is provided at the bottom of the opening on one side of the forearm sleeve. Velcro B is sewn to one side of the surface of the outward-extending pillow.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, an elastic net pocket is provided on one side of the outward-facing pillow, and the fleece and hook sides of the Velcro B are bonded together to form a ring to fix and hook the elastic net pocket, and the elastic net pocket is filled with elastic balls.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. When patients require ice packs after surgery, the shoulder joint is placed inside the shoulder joint pad, and an ice pack is placed in the slot. The top cover is closed with the shoulder joint pad using the zipper to form a sealed space. The ice pack adheres to the waterproof layer, allowing for ice pack application to the shoulder joint. The waterproof layer prevents water from melting the ice pack from seeping out and wetting the brace and the patient's clothing. This design is convenient for patients who need short-term ice packs to reduce swelling after surgery, enabling continuous ice pack application to the shoulder joint, promoting swelling reduction and pain relief. The waterproof layer avoids discomfort and hygiene problems caused by water seepage from the ice pack, improving ease of use and comfort. At the same time, the zipper allows patients to install and remove the ice pack themselves, enhancing their autonomy in use.

[0012] 2. The support pad is laid flat on the patient's back, forming a stable contact with the bed surface, providing a solid support for the entire shoulder joint brace. The support pad is usually made of soft and elastic material, which can conform to the patient's body curve when laid flat on the back, reducing the pressure between the back and the bed surface. When the patient lies down, the back feels even support and will not feel uncomfortable due to excessive local pressure. On this basis, the upper arm sleeve and shoulder joint sleeve can play their role, filling the gap between the upper arm and the bed surface when the patient lies flat, and supporting the upper limb steadily. This support method distributes the weight of the upper limb, avoiding muscle tension and fatigue caused by the upper arm being suspended, allowing the patient's upper limb to be in a relaxed state when resting, effectively improving the quality of rest.
