Description

[0001] The invention relates to a device for stabilizing and / or swaddling a patient, in particular a newborn and / or a small child, with hip dysplasia and / or hip dislocation, comprising the features of claim 1.

[0002] Between 1 and 2% of all newborns in Germany (more girls than boys) suffer from hip dysplasia. Approximately 0.1 to 0.2% of all newborns in Germany suffer from hip dislocation. This is often only diagnosed during the standard U3 examination (third routine check-up) with a hip ultrasound. Depending on the severity, treatment usually involves several months of immobilization with a hip spica cast and / or a hip abduction brace. This forces the legs to spread apart, thus counteracting the malposition. The forced leg spread makes positioning the newborn during diaper changes and / or sleep more difficult. To stabilize the newborn, rolled-up towels or other padding aids are typically used under the legs.

[0003] The disadvantage is that placing towel rolls underneath is cumbersome and time-consuming.

[0004] CN 1 06 726 050 A, US 5 442 823 A, CN 2 10 301 342 U, CN 1 12 773 637 A, US 2004 / 0 195 880 A1 and US 5 524 640 A each disclose a device with individual features of claim 1.

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a device for stabilizing and / or wrapping a patient with hip dysplasia and / or hip dislocation, thereby eliminating the above disadvantages.

[0006] The above problem is solved by a device for stabilizing and / or wrapping a patient with hip dysplasia and / or hip dislocation having the features of claim 1.

[0007] The patient may be a newborn, a toddler, and / or an infant. Hip dysplasia or hip dislocation refers specifically to a maturation disorder of the acetabulum or a hip misalignment. The patient may be wearing a hip spica cast and / or a Tübingen hip abduction brace. It is also possible that the patient's hip spica cast may have a spacer to maintain leg abduction.

[0008] The device comprises a base with at least one first surface for supporting at least one leg section of the patient. The first surface extends within a first plane. The first surface can be flat and / or rectangular. The first surface can be designed for supporting at least one leg section of the patient in a prone position. The base can have two first surfaces, each for supporting at least one leg section of the patient. The leg section can be an upper and / or lower leg of the patient.

[0009] The device base comprises at least one second surface for supporting at least one upper body region of the patient. The second surface extends within a second plane. The first and second planes are spaced apart from each other. The second plane may be positioned above the first plane with respect to the direction of gravity. The second surface may be flat and / or rectangular. The second surface may be designed for supporting at least one upper body region of the patient in a prone or supine position. If the patient is prone, at least one area of ​​their abdomen (upper body region) may rest on the second surface. If the patient is prone, at least one leg region may rest on the first surface.

[0010] In this context, "prone position" refers to a lying position of the patient in which the patient lies on their stomach. In this context, "supine position" refers to a lying position of the patient in which the patient lies on their back.

[0011] This allows for stable and comfortable positioning of the patient in a prone position. This provides a practical solution for parents and caregivers who have to look after a patient (baby, newborn, or toddler) whose mobility is restricted due to a hip spica cast and / or a Tübingen hip abduction brace. The device allows the patient to be held stably in a comfortable position, such as sleeping and / or diaper changing, either prone or supine (see below). This can promote the recovery process and / or facilitate diaper changes.

[0012] The base of the device can have a length of approximately 60 cm, a width of approximately 47 cm, and a height of approximately 10 cm. The first surface can have a length of approximately 20 cm and a width of approximately 47 cm. If there are two first surfaces, each can have a length of approximately 20 cm and a width of approximately 14 cm. The second surface can have a length of approximately 40 cm and a width of 47 cm.

[0013] In the present case, all length specifications of all components of the device are based on the length of the device base, all width specifications of all components of the device are based on the width of the device base, and all height specifications of all components of the device are based on the height of the device base.

[0014] Since the patient is primarily a newborn and / or a small child, a device base with dimensions optimally tailored to the patient can be provided.

[0015] According to further training, the device can comprise at least two leg blocks, each for supporting at least one leg segment of the patient. The leg blocks can each be designed to support at least one leg segment of the patient while the patient is lying supine. The leg segment can be an upper and / or lower leg. The leg blocks can each be separate from the device base. The leg blocks can each be identical. The leg blocks can each serve as a support for one leg segment of the patient.

[0016] This allows for stable and comfortable positioning of the patient in a supine position.

[0017] According to further training, the leg blocks can each be designed to be reversibly connected to the device base. The leg blocks can each be designed to be reversibly connected to the first surface of the device base. In a connected state to the device base, the leg blocks can be designed to support the patient's legs while lying supine.

[0018] This allows for stable and comfortable positioning of the patient in both prone and supine positions.

[0019] This can, for example, make it easier to wrap the patient with a pelvic-leg cast.

[0020] A hip and leg cast has an opening for inserting or changing a diaper, which is relatively large but narrow. The diaper must be inserted or pushed into this opening. This is usually done by starting at the patient's buttocks. This can be done, for example, using a wooden spatula, which can lead to skin injuries if the patient is lying on their back. The diaper is pressed between the cast and the buttocks, as the buttocks rest on the cast due to gravity when the patient is lying on their back. Gravity makes access and visibility difficult when inserting the diaper. Additionally, the patient's legs must be held with one hand, further complicating the process of inserting or changing the diaper.

[0021] This device allows the patient to be placed on their stomach (prone position) to provide better visibility and access when changing the diaper at the buttocks. The device holds the patient securely in this prone position. The person changing the patient has both hands free to use for the diaper change. Gravity increases the distance between the cast and the patient's buttocks, further facilitating diaper insertion.

[0022] After inserting the diaper while the patient is lying on their stomach, they can be turned onto their back. To do this, simply connect the leg blocks to the base of the device. The diaper can then be easily applied while the patient is lying on their back. This also leaves both hands free for the person changing the patient. Because the device stabilizes the patient in the supine position, there is no need for the person changing the patient to hold them down with one hand.

[0023] According to further training, the leg blocks can each be designed to be connected to the device base by means of a hook-and-loop fastener and / or a magnetic connection. The leg blocks can each be designed to be connected to the first surface of the device base (or the device) by means of a hook-and-loop fastener and / or a magnetic connection.

[0024] A magnetic connection can be implemented by at least one magnet, which may be arranged on each of the leg blocks and / or on the first surface of the device base, and at least one magnetic element interacting with the magnet, which may be arranged on each of the two blocks and / or on the first surface of the device base. When the magnet connects to the magnetic element, they are held together (attracted) by the magnetic interaction forces (attractive forces) between the magnet and the magnetic element. The leg blocks are thus held on the first surfaces. To release this connection, a force must be applied to pull the magnet and the magnetic element apart, overcoming the magnetic interaction force (attractive force) and allowing the leg blocks to be separated from the first surface.

[0025] A hook-and-loop fastener connection can be implemented by at least one adhesive element, which can be arranged on the leg blocks and / or on the first surface of the device base, and at least one loop element, which can also be arranged on the blocks and / or on the first surface of the device base. The adhesive element can have a plurality of barbs. The loop element can have a plurality of (fluffy) loops. When the adhesive element is connected to the loop element, the barbs engage in the loops, thus forming a secure connection. To release this connection, force must be applied to pull the adhesive element and the loop element apart, so that the barbs are disengaged from the loops and the leg blocks can be separated from the first surface.

[0026] This allows a reversible connection between the leg blocks and the device base to be implemented using simple means.

[0027] According to further training, the leg blocks can each have a third surface for supporting at least one leg segment of the patient (in a supine position). This third surface can be designed to support at least one thigh of the patient (in a supine position). The third surface can extend within a third plane. The third surface can be flat and / or rectangular. The third plane can be spaced apart, in particular parallel to the plane, from the first and / or second plane. The second plane can be positioned between the first and third planes. The third plane can be positioned above the second plane with respect to the direction of gravity.

[0028] This allows for a stable and comfortable positioning of at least one leg area, in particular one thigh or part of a thigh, of the patient in a supine position using simple means.

[0029] According to further training, the leg blocks can each have a fourth surface for supporting at least one leg segment of the patient (in a supine position). This fourth surface can be designed to support at least one lower leg of the patient (in a supine position). The fourth surface can extend within a fourth plane. The fourth surface can be flat and / or rectangular. The fourth plane can be spaced apart, in particular parallel to the plane, from the first, second, and / or third plane. The third plane can be positioned between the second and fourth planes. The fourth plane can be positioned above the third plane with respect to the direction of gravity.

[0030] This allows for a stable and comfortable positioning of at least one leg area, in particular one lower leg or part of a lower leg, of the patient in a supine position using simple means.

[0031] The leg blocks can each have a length of approximately 20 cm, a width of approximately 14 cm, and a height of approximately 12 to 14 cm. The third surface can have a length of approximately 10 cm and a width of approximately 14 cm. The fourth surface can have a length of approximately 10 cm and a width of 14 cm.

[0032] Since the patient is primarily a newborn and / or a small child, leg blocks with dimensions optimally tailored to the patient can be provided.

[0033] According to a further development of the invention, the device has at least one fifth surface for supporting at least one gluteal area of ​​the patient. The fifth surface can extend within a fifth plane. The fifth surface can be planar and / or rectangular. The fifth plane can be spaced apart, in particular parallel to the first plane, the second plane, the third plane, and / or the fourth plane. The fifth plane can be arranged between the first plane and the second plane. The fifth plane can be arranged above the first plane and below the second plane with respect to the direction of gravity. The device can have at least two fifth surfaces for supporting at least one gluteal area of ​​the patient. A gap can be provided between the fifth plane and the second plane, the gap being approximately equal to the thickness of a hip and leg cast.

[0034] This allows for stable and comfortable positioning of at least one buttock area of ​​the patient while lying on their back, using simple means. It also compensates for the thickness of the pelvic and leg cast, so that the patient's back and buttocks can essentially lie in a straight line or on the same plane (as if the patient were lying on a flat surface without a pelvic and leg cast).

[0035] The fifth face can have a length of approximately 9 cm and a width of approximately 19 cm. If there are two fifth faces, each of the fifth faces can have a length of approximately 9 cm and a width of approximately 7 cm.

[0036] Since the patient is primarily a newborn and / or a small child, a device with dimensions optimally tailored to the patient can be provided.

[0037] According to further training, the device can have at least a sixth surface for resting at least one hand area of ​​a person changing the patient. The sixth surface can extend within a sixth plane. The sixth surface can be planar and / or rectangular. The sixth plane can be spaced apart, in particular parallel to the plane, from the first, second, third, fourth, and / or fifth plane. The sixth plane can be located between the first and second planes. The fifth and sixth planes can be identical (i.e., coincident). The fifth and sixth surfaces can extend within the same plane. The sixth plane can be located above the first plane and below the second plane with respect to the direction of gravity.

[0038] This allows for a stable and comfortable positioning of at least one hand area of ​​a person changing the patient, using simple means.

[0039] The sixth surface can have a length of approximately 7 cm and a width of approximately 19 cm.

[0040] Since the person changing the patient is usually an adult, a hand rest with dimensions optimally tailored to the person changing the diaper can be provided.

[0041] According to further training, the device can have at least a seventh surface for placing (or receiving) at least one section of a Tübingen hip abduction brace applied to the patient and / or at least one section of a spacer between the patient's legs. The spacer can be attached to or wrapped within the pelvic-leg cast between the left and right legs. The spacer can be designed as a rod. The spacer can serve to fix the patient's leg abduction. In other words, the spacer can be used to set a fixed distance between the patient's legs. The seventh surface can extend within a seventh plane. The seventh surface can be flat and / or rectangular.The seventh plane can be spaced apart, in particular parallel to the plane, from the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and / or sixth planes. The seventh plane can be positioned between the first and fifth planes. The seventh plane can be positioned between the first and sixth planes. The seventh plane can be positioned above the first plane and below the fifth and / or sixth planes with respect to the direction of gravity.

[0042] This allows for stable and comfortable positioning or support of at least one section of a Tübingen hip abduction brace applied to the patient and / or at least one section of the patient's leg spacers using simple means. In particular, this prevents the patient from resting their body weight (or part of their body weight) on at least one section of the Tübingen hip abduction brace and / or at least one section of the patient's leg spacers while lying prone.

[0043] The seventh surface can have a length of approximately 4 cm and a width of approximately 19 cm.

[0044] This allows a standard Tübingen hip abduction brace and / or a spacer for the patient's legs to be optimally accommodated, at least in some areas.

[0045] According to further training, the device can have at least one eighth surface for placing (or receiving) at least one section of a bandage knot attached to the patient (e.g., a section or part of a tubular bandage knot). The eighth surface can extend within an eighth plane. The eighth surface can be planar and / or rectangular. The eighth plane can be spaced apart, in particular parallel to the plane, from the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and / or seventh plane. The eighth plane can be located between the first and fifth planes. The eighth plane can be located between the first and sixth planes. The seventh and eighth planes can be identical (or coincide). The eighth and seventh surfaces can extend within the same plane.The eighth level can be positioned above the first level and below the fifth and / or sixth level with respect to the direction of gravity.

[0046] This allows for stable and comfortable positioning or support of at least one section of a bandage knot (e.g., part of a tubular bandage knot) using simple means. This particularly prevents the patient from lying prone on the bandage knot (with their body weight or part of their body weight).

[0047] The eighth surface can have a length of approximately 9 cm and a width of approximately 5 cm.

[0048] According to a further development of the invention, the device has two first surfaces and an intermediate block. The intermediate block can be arranged between the two first surfaces on the device base. The fifth, sixth, seventh, and / or eighth surfaces can be arranged on the intermediate block. The intermediate block can be reversibly connected to the device base, in particular to the first surface of the device base. The intermediate block can be designed separately from the device base. Analogous to the leg blocks, the intermediate block can be connected to the device base, in particular to the first surface of the device base, by means of a hook-and-loop fastener and / or a magnetic connection.

[0049] This allows the fifth, sixth, seventh, and / or eighth surfaces to be attached to the device base via the intermediate block, or, for example, detached from the device base for cleaning purposes. It is also conceivable that an intermediate block can be replaced with one designed to fit the device. In this way, the fifth, sixth, seventh, and / or eighth surfaces can be adapted to specific requirements (e.g., the presence or absence of a Tübingen hip abduction brace, a spacer, patients of different sizes, etc.).

[0050] The intermediate block can have a length of approximately 20 cm, a width of approximately 19 cm and a height of approximately 6 cm.

[0051] Since the patient is primarily a newborn and / or a small child, this allows for the provision of an intermediate block with dimensions optimally tailored to the patient.

[0052] According to a further development of the invention, a T-shaped recess is arranged in the intermediate block. The seventh surface and the eighth surface (T-shaped) can be arranged in the T-shaped recess.

[0053] This allows for the stable and comfortable positioning or support of at least part of a Tübingen hip abduction brace (or spacer) and a bandage knot (e.g., part of a tubular bandage knot) applied to the patient using simple means. In particular, this prevents the patient from lying prone on the Tübingen hip abduction brace (or spacer) and the bandage knot (with their body weight or part of their body weight).

[0054] According to a further development, the device base, the leg blocks and / or the intermediate block can each consist at least partially, in particular completely, of elastic (soft) material, especially foam.

[0055] This allows for particularly comfortable patient positioning using simple means. Pressure sores on the patient can be prevented or at least minimized.

[0056] According to a further development, the device base, the leg blocks and / or the intermediate block can have a polyester coating, at least in some areas. It is also conceivable that the device base, the leg blocks and / or the intermediate block could have a coating of another, easily cleanable fabric.

[0057] This makes cleaning the individual components of the device easier.

[0058] Further features, details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the wording of the claims and from the following description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawings. The drawings show: Fig. 1 a perspective view of a device with a device base and an intermediate block; Fig. 2 a top view of the device according to Fig. 1; Fig. 3 a front view of the device according to Fig. 1; Fig. 4 a side view of the device according to Fig. 1; Fig. 5 a perspective view of the device according to Fig. 1 with two leg blocks; Fig. 6 a top view of the device according to Fig. 5; Fig. 7 a front view of the device according to Fig. 5; Fig. 8 a side view of the device according to Fig. 5; Fig. 9 a perspective view of a leg block according to Fig. 5 from the top and Fig. 10 a perspective view of a leg block according to Fig. 5 from the bottom.

[0059] In the following description and in the figures, corresponding components and elements bear the same reference symbols. For the sake of clarity, not all reference symbols are shown in every figure.

[0060] Fig. Figure 1 shows a perspective view, Fig. 2 a top view, Fig. 3 a front view and Fig. 4 a side view of a device 10 with a device base 11 and an intermediate block 46.

[0061] The device 10 is designed for stabilizing and / or wrapping a patient, in particular a newborn and / or a young child, with hip dysplasia and / or hip dislocation.

[0062] The device base 11 is cuboid in shape. In particular, the device base 11 is designed as two cuboids arranged side by side or adjacent to each other, with the same width but different lengths and heights. Fig. 1 is the length of the device base 11 indicated by a double arrow 13, the width of the device base 11 by a double arrow 15 and the height of the device base 11 by a double arrow 17.

[0063] The device base 11 has at least one first surface 12 for supporting at least one leg area of ​​the patient (in a prone position). In this case, the device base 11 has two first surfaces 12. The two first surfaces 12 extend within a first plane 14. In this case, the two first surfaces 12 are each planar and rectangular.

[0064] The device base 11 has at least one second surface 16 for placing at least one upper body area of ​​the patient (in a prone or supine position). The second surface 16 extends within a second plane 18. In this case, the second surface 16 is planar and rectangular.

[0065] The first level 14 and the second level 18 are spaced apart, in this case parallel to each other. The first surfaces 12 and the second surface 16 are each rectangular. The first level 14 and the second level 18 are in Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 are each indicated by a dashed line. The second level 18 is arranged above the first level 14 with respect to the direction of gravity 19. The direction of gravity 19 is in the Fig. 1, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9 and Fig. 10 are each indicated by an arrow.

[0066] The device 10 comprises two first surfaces 12 and an intermediate block 46. The intermediate block 46 is arranged between the two first surfaces 12 on the device base 11.

[0067] The device 10 in this case has two fifth surfaces 30 for placing at least one gluteal area of ​​the patient on it. Each fifth surface 30 extends within a fifth plane 32. The fifth surfaces 30 are each planar and essentially rectangular. The fifth plane 32 is spaced apart, in this case parallel to the first plane 14 and the second plane 18. The fifth plane 32 is located between the first plane 14 and the second plane 18. Thus, in the direction of gravity 19, the fifth plane 32 is positioned above the first plane 14 and below the second plane 18. It is also conceivable that the two fifth surfaces 30 could be configured as a single fifth surface 30.

[0068] The device 10 comprises at least a sixth surface 34 for resting at least one hand area of ​​a person treating or changing the patient. The sixth surface 34 extends within a sixth plane 36. The sixth surface 34 is planar and rectangular. The sixth plane 36 is spaced apart, and in this case parallel to, the first plane 14 and the second plane 18. The sixth plane 36 is located between the first plane 14 and the second plane 18. The fifth plane 32 and the sixth plane 36 are identical. In other words, the two fifth surfaces 30 and the sixth surface 34 extend in the same plane.

[0069] The device 10 has at least a seventh surface 38 for placing (receiving) at least a portion of a Tübingen hip flexion splint applied to the patient and / or at least a portion of a spacer between the patient's legs. The seventh surface 38 extends in a seventh plane 40. The seventh surface 38 is planar and rectangular. The seventh plane 40 is spaced, in this case parallel to the plane, from the first plane 14, the second plane 18, and the fifth plane 32 (or sixth plane 36). The seventh plane 40 is located between the first plane 14 and the fifth plane 32 (or sixth plane 36). With respect to the direction of gravity 19, the seventh plane 40 is positioned below the fifth plane 32 (or sixth plane 36) and above the first plane 14.

[0070] The device 10 has at least one eighth surface 42 for placing (receiving) at least one bandage knot attached to the patient. The eighth surface 42 extends in an eighth plane 44. The eighth surface 42 is planar and rectangular. The eighth plane 44 is spaced, in this case parallel to the first plane 14, the second plane 18, and the fifth plane 32 (or the sixth plane 36). The eighth plane 44 is located between the first plane 14 and the fifth plane 32 (or the sixth plane 36). In this case, the seventh plane 40 and the eighth plane 44 are identical. In other words, the seventh surface 38 and the eighth surface 42 extend in the same plane.

[0071] The fifth level 32, the sixth level 36, the seventh level 40 and the eighth level 44 are in the Fig. 4 indicated by a dashed line.

[0072] In this case, the fifth surface 30, the sixth surface 34, the seventh surface 38, and the eighth surface 42 are arranged on the intermediate block 46. The intermediate block 46 has a T-shaped recess 48. The seventh surface 38 and the eighth surface 42 are arranged in a T-shape within this recess 48. The intermediate block 46 is essentially cuboid in shape.

[0073] Fig. Figure 5 shows a perspective view, Fig. 6 a top view, Fig. 7 a front view and Fig. 8 a side view of the device 10 according to Fig. 1 with two leg blocks 20.

[0074] In this example, the device 10 has two leg blocks 20. Each leg block 20 is designed to support at least one leg segment (in a supine position) of the patient. The leg blocks 20 are identical in this case. Each leg block 20 is essentially cuboid in shape. Specifically, each leg block 20 is designed as two cuboids arranged side by side or adjacent to each other, with the same width (and especially the same length), but different heights.

[0075] Fig. Figure 9 shows a perspective view of a leg block 20 according to Fig. 5 from the top. Fig. Figure 10 shows a perspective view of a leg block 20 according to Fig. 5 from the bottom.

[0076] The leg blocks 20 each have a third surface 22 for supporting at least one leg section (in particular, one thigh) of the patient (in a supine position). The third surfaces 22 extend within a third plane 24. The third surfaces 22 are rectangular and planar. The third plane 24 is spaced, and in this case parallel to, the first plane 14, the second plane 18, the fifth plane 32 (or the sixth plane 36), and the seventh plane 40 (or the eighth plane 44). The second plane 18 is located between the first plane 14 and the third plane 24. The third plane 24 is positioned above the second plane 18 with respect to the direction of gravity 19.

[0077] The leg blocks 20 each have a fourth surface 26 for supporting at least one leg section (in particular, one lower leg) of the patient (in a supine position). The fourth surface 26 extends within a fourth plane 28. The fourth surface 26 is rectangular and planar. The fourth plane 28 is spaced, and in this case parallel to, the first plane, the second plane 18, the third plane 24, the fifth plane 32 (or the sixth plane 36), and the seventh plane 40 (or the eighth plane 44). In this case, the third plane 24 is located between the second plane 18 and the fourth plane 28. The fourth plane 28 is positioned above the third plane 24 with respect to the direction of gravity 19.

[0078] The third level 24 and the fourth level 28 are in the Fig. 8 each indicated by a dashed line.

[0079] The leg blocks 20 are each designed to be reversibly connectable to the device base 11. The leg blocks 20 can each be connected to the first surfaces 12 of the device base 11. The leg blocks 20 can be connected to the device base 11 by means of a hook-and-loop fastener and / or a magnetic connection.

[0080] In this case, the leg blocks 20 are connected to the device base 11 by means of a magnetic connection. For this purpose, each leg block 20 has a magnet 21. The magnets 21 are each flat (plate-shaped) and rectangular. The magnets 21 are arranged on the underside of the leg blocks 20 with respect to the direction of gravity 19, or at least partially form the underside of the leg blocks 20 (see figure). Fig. 10).

[0081] As a counterpart to the magnets 21, the first two surfaces 12 each have a magnetic element 23. The magnetic elements 23 are, in this case (analogous to the magnets 21), planar (plate-shaped) and rectangular. With respect to the direction of gravity 19, the magnetic elements 23 are arranged on the upper surface of the first surfaces 12 or at least partially form the upper surface of the first surfaces 12 (see figure). Fig. 1).

[0082] As soon as the leg blocks 20 are placed on the first surfaces 12, the magnets 21 and the magnetic elements 23 attract each other due to magnetic interaction, so that the leg blocks 20 are held on the first surfaces 12 or on the device base 11. To release the leg blocks 20, they must be moved apart with a force acting in the opposite direction to the magnetic attraction until the magnetic interaction (or attraction force) is overcome.
