Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a medical pillow with a head support function. [Background technology]

[0002] When you are hospitalized due to a stroke or other condition, you are told to try not to move your head as much as possible while in bed. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a medical pillow is disclosed in Patent Document 1. This medical pillow is used in endoscopic examinations and other examinations and treatments at medical institutions, but it cannot accommodate patients with different head sizes and cannot prevent head rotation. [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3193789 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to suppress head rotation, prevent the patient's condition from worsening, and ensure sufficient comfort. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] Figure 1 of this device shows a pillow body 1 and head support parts 2 arranged on both ends of the pillow body's upper surface. The cross section of the head support part 2 is a right triangle or a trapezoid with a right angle, and its inclined surface is arranged toward the head. In addition, the problem is solved by providing hook-and-loop fasteners on surfaces A and B of the head support part 2. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] As described above, by separating the pillow body 1 and the head fixing part 2 and making them detachable with the hook-and-loop fastener 4, it is possible to adjust it to fit the size of the patient's head, suppressing head rotation, helping to prevent the patient's condition from worsening and increasing comfort. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of a medical pillow according to the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a front view of the pillow body 1. [Figure 3] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the head fixing part 2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The medical pillow of this invention is composed of a pillow body 1 and a head support part 2. A zipper 3 is provided on the front, which can be opened and closed, allowing for the storage of ice packs, etc. In addition, hook-and-loop fasteners 4 are provided on sides A and B of the head support part 2, making it detachable, and by adjusting the width and height (two levels), rotation of the head can be prevented. [Example]

[0009] An embodiment of the pillow will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 3. The pillow body 1, which supports the patient's head, is a nearly flat, plate-like body made of low-resilience urethane foam with good cushioning properties, wrapped in a fabric cover. Also, hook-and-loop fasteners 4 are used on both ends of the top surface. In addition, a pocket-like space is formed inside the pillow body 1, and by opening and closing the fastener 3, it is possible to store ice packs or the like. This keeps the patient's head cool and gives the patient a comfortable feeling, which also improves the patient's comfort.

[0010] As shown in Figure 3, the head support part 2 is basically triangular prism-shaped, but it can also be trapezoidal. Its sides are inclined downward toward the patient's head. This head support part 2 is also made of low-resilience urethane foam with good cushioning properties, wrapped in a cloth cover. This helps prevent the patient's condition from worsening and the development of bedsores on the ears and other areas. Furthermore, the head fixing part 2 is provided with hook-and-loop fasteners 4 on surfaces A and B, which are detachable and can be adjusted to fit the size of the patient's head.
