Description

Technical Field

[0004] , , ,

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, and particularly to a novel adjustable fixed clamping plate for pediatric surgery.

Background Art

[0002] In the clinical treatment of pediatric surgery, fixation of the limbs with fractures or injuries is a basic and important medical measure. Due to the active nature and poor self-control of children, and the fact that their skin is delicate and their bones are in a rapid growth period, the requirements for the comfort, safety and adaptability of the fixation device are much higher than those for adults.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used pediatric fixation devices in clinical practice mainly adopt a structure that combines a simple single plate with an elastic band or bandage to tie the limbs. Such a conventional fixation method has the following obvious drawbacks. First, it cannot adapt to various sizes. Since there are significant differences in the thickness and length of children's limbs, the conventional fixed clamping plate with a fixed size is difficult to precisely adjust according to the specific trauma site of the affected child, and it is often necessary to fill gaps by methods such as stuffing cotton pads, resulting in a poor fixation effect and easy occurrence of deviation. Second, it performs a single function. The existing fixed clamping plate only has a physical support function and cannot perform auxiliary treatments such as applying drugs while fixing, resulting in a longer recovery period. Third, the operation is inconvenient and the comfort is low. The conventional method of tying the limbs with bandages or ropes is cumbersome and difficult to adjust the tightness. If it is too tight, it is likely to cause blood circulation disorders or pressure ulcers, and if it is too loose, it cannot be effectively fixed. Moreover, the airtight environment composed of the clamping plate has poor air permeability of the local skin, causes sweating, and is likely to cause allergies. Fourth, disassembly, assembly and maintenance are difficult. Although some of the clamping plates designed in multiple layers have improved functions, due to the integrated structure, it is very inconvenient to clean the inside or replace the covering material

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a new type of adjustable clamping plate for pediatric surgery in order to solve the problems addressed in the background technology described above. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] To achieve the above objective, this invention provides the following technical means.

[0006] A new adjustable fixed clamping plate for pediatric surgery has a fixed clamping plate assembly, an extendable movable clamping plate assembly connected to one side of the fixed clamping plate assembly, the fixed clamping plate assembly having two clamping plate bodies, an arrangement groove penetrating the upper surface of the clamping plate bodies, a plurality of support plates fixedly attached to the opening below the arrangement groove, a cover cloth installed on the upper surface of the clamping plate bodies, and the cover cloth completely covering the opening above the arrangement groove. The movable clamping plate assembly has two expandable clamping plates, with fixing bands fixedly connected to the rear bottom end of both the upper clamping plate body and the expandable clamping plate, both of which are connected to the lower clamping plate body and the expandable clamping plate via the fixing bands, elastic bands attached to the front upper surfaces of both the clamping plate body and the expandable clamping plate, a sliding groove provided on one side of the clamping plate body, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the opposite side of the expandable clamping plate, and one end of the connecting plate slidably installed inside the sliding groove.

[0007] Preferably, the arrangement groove, the support plate, and the covering cloth form an arrangement cavity, and a medicine coating packet is provided inside the arrangement cavity.

[0008] Preferably, the upper surface of the covering cloth is provided with an opening that leads to the interior of the arrangement cavity, and a zipper is sewn onto the opening.

[0009] Preferably, a hook-and-loop fastener adhesive surface is attached to both the lower clamping plate body and the outer surface of the expandable clamping plate, hook-and-loop fastener is sewn to one end of the elastic band, and the elastic band is attached to the outer surface of the hook-and-loop fastener adhesive surface via the hook-and-loop fastener.

[0010] Preferably, bolts are connected to the outer surfaces of both the front and rear sides of the clamping plate body by screw threads, and one end of the bolt extends into the interior of the sliding groove and contacts the surface of the connecting plate. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] The novel adjustable clamping plate for pediatric surgery according to this invention has the following beneficial effects compared to existing technology. 1. This new adjustable fixed clamping plate for pediatric surgery features a sliding connection structure between the clamping plate body and the expandable clamping plate, which is tightened in conjunction with bolts. This allows for stepless adjustment of the overall length of the clamping plate. Compared to conventional fixed clamping plates with a fixed size, it can precisely fit the limbs of children of different age groups or with different injury ranges, avoiding the instability of fixation or the hassle of temporary compensation caused by size mismatches, and significantly improving the versatility and clinical applicability of the device.

[0012] 2. This new adjustable clamping plate for pediatric surgery cleverly incorporates a placement cavity consisting of placement grooves, support plates, and covering cloth on the clamping plate body, and also houses a replaceable ointment sachet. This allows the clamping plate to perform a therapeutic function of applying medication while achieving physical fixation, solving the problem of conventional clamping plates having only one function. Furthermore, it utilizes the sustained action of the medication to promote blood circulation, reduce swelling, relieve pain, and shorten the recovery period. The design of the support plates not only accommodates the ointment sachet but also ensures that the active ingredients of the medication penetrate the affected area. In addition to the design where the ointment sachet only covers the placement grooves and there is a gap between the support plates, the design of the clamping plate body itself does not completely seal the affected skin within the plastic or cast, allowing air to still circulate. This significantly reduces the risk of complications such as stuffiness, sweating, and rashes from prolonged wear, improving the comfort of the child wearing the device. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0013] [Figure 1] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the present invention. [Figure 2] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the present invention from a different viewpoint. [Figure 3] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the inner surface of the clamping plate body of the present invention. [Figure 4] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the arrangement cavity of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0014] As shown in Figure 1-4, the new adjustable fixed clamping plate for pediatric surgery has a fixed clamping plate assembly to which an extendable movable clamping plate assembly is connected on one side, the fixed clamping plate assembly has two clamping plate bodies 1, the upper surface of the clamping plate bodies 1 has a through-hole placement groove 4, a plurality of support plates 5 are fixedly attached to the opening below the placement groove 4, a cover cloth 6 is placed on the upper surface of the clamping plate bodies 1 and the cover cloth 6 completely covers the opening above the placement groove 4; the placement groove 4, support plates 5 and cover cloth 6 form a placement cavity, and a drug application packet 9 is placed inside the placement cavity.

[0015] By cleverly designing a placement cavity on the clamping plate body 1, consisting of placement grooves 4, a support plate 5, and a covering cloth 6, and by incorporating a replaceable ointment sachet 9, the clamping plate achieves physical fixation while also performing a therapeutic function of applying medication. This not only solves the problem of conventional clamping plates having only one function, but also promotes blood circulation by utilizing the sustained action of the medication, reduces swelling and pain, and is advantageous in shortening the recovery period. The design of the support plate 5 not only accommodates the ointment sachet but also ensures that the active ingredients of the medication penetrate to the affected area.

[0016] An opening is provided on the upper surface of the covering cloth 6, leading to the interior of the arrangement cavity, and a zipper 7 is sewn onto the arrangement opening. By opening the zipper 7, a spare medicine cloth packet 9 is placed through the arrangement opening into the arrangement cavity, which is composed of the arrangement groove 4, support plate 5, and covering cloth 6, making it easier to apply the medicine to the affected area.

[0017] The moving clamping plate assembly has two telescopic clamping plates 2. Fixed bands 3 are fixedly connected to both the upper clamping plate body 1 and the rear bottom ends of the telescopic clamping plates 2. The upper clamping plate body 1 and the telescopic clamping plates 2 are both connected to the lower clamping plate body 1 and the telescopic clamping plates 2 via the fixed bands 3. Elastic bands 10 are attached to the upper surfaces of the front sides of the clamping plate body 1 and the telescopic clamping plates 2, and magic tape adhesive surfaces 11 are attached to the outer surfaces of the lower clamping plate body 1 and the telescopic clamping plates 2. Magic tapes are sewn to one end of each of the elastic bands 10, and the elastic bands 10 are attached to the outer surface of the magic tape adhesive surface 11 via the magic tapes, thereby forming an upper and lower double clamping plate structure covering the limb.

[0018] Place the upper and lower two sets of clamping plate bodies 1 and telescopic clamping plates 2 below and above the limb of the child patient respectively, and complete the connection and positioning with the fixed band 3 at the rear side. Then, pull the upper elastic band 10 to apply appropriate pressure according to the contour of the limb. Next, firmly attach the magic tape at the end of the elastic band 10 to the magic tape adhesive surface 11 on the outer side of the lower clamping plate to complete the fixation.

[0019] A sliding groove is provided on one side of the clamping plate body 1, and a connecting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the telescopic clamping plate 2. One end of the connecting plate 12 is slidably installed inside the sliding groove. Bolts 8 are threadedly connected to the outer surfaces of both the front and rear sides of the clamping plate body 1, and one end of the bolt 8 extends into the sliding groove and abuts against the surface of the connecting plate 12.

[0020] During use, medical staff first adjust the overall size of the clamping plate according to the length of the limb of the child patient to be fixed, loosen the bolt 8, and pull the telescopic clamping plate 2, so that the connecting plate 12 slides in the sliding groove of the clamping plate body 1. After appropriately adjusting the length, tighten the bolt 8 again, and maintain the length unchanged by pressing the end of the bolt 8 against the connecting plate 12.

[0021] The operating principle of the present invention is as follows.

[0022] In this new adjustable fixation clamping plate for pediatric surgery, during use, first, medical staff adjust the overall size of the clamping plate according to the length of the limb to be fixed of the child patient. Loosen the bolt 8, pull the telescopic clamping plate 2, so that the connection plate 12 slides in the sliding groove of the clamping plate body 1. After appropriately adjusting the length, tighten the bolt 8 again and press the end of the bolt 8 against the connection plate 12 to maintain the length unchanged.

[0023] After that, open the fastener 7, place the pre-prepared medicated dressing pack 9 into the placement cavity composed of the placement groove 4, the support plate 5 and the covering cloth 6 through the placement opening, and ensure that the medicated dressing pack 9 is placed flat on the support plate 5. Finally, close the fastener 7.

[0024] Place the upper and lower two sets of clamping plate bodies 1 and telescopic clamping plates 2 under and above the limb of the child patient respectively, and connect and position them with the rear fixing band 3. Then, pull the upper elastic band 10 to apply appropriate pressure according to the contour of the limb. Next, firmly stick the magic tape at the end of the elastic band 10 to the magic tape adhesion surface 11 on the outside of the lower clamping plate to complete the fixation. At this time, the medicated dressing pack 9 placed in the placement cavity performs continuous drug penetration and heat therapy on the affected area through the gap between the support plates 5.

[0025] When removing or replacing the medicated dressing pack 9, it is not necessary to解除 the overall fixation. It is only necessary to open the fastener 7 to take out the medicated dressing pack 9. 3]
