Description

Bedsore prevention mat

[0001] The present invention relates to a self-inflating mat, and more particularly, to a bedsore prevention mat that prevents bedsores in a patient and enables convenient use by reducing the pressure applied to the patient's body by controlling the pressure of the inner cells of the mat through a valve.

[0002] Bedsores are skin injuries that occur when a patient's back, waist, shoulders, or elbows come into contact with the floor. They can be seen in patients who have been bedridden for a long time or in patients who cannot freely change positions due to cerebrospinal nerve disorders. They are prone to developing in areas subject to weight pressure, especially in areas where bones are exposed.

[0003] The skin in the compressed area initially turns pale because blood circulation is poor, and the surrounding area turns red and tender. Later, blisters form, and as it progresses, the blackened, gangrenous area falls off and ulcers form, producing a foul-smelling discharge.

[0004] Because severe bedsores are difficult to treat, prevention is paramount to preventing bedsores from developing. To prevent bedsores, the patient's body should be frequently cleaned to keep it clean at all times, and the affected area should not be subject to pressure.

[0005] In particular, to prevent bedsores, it is most important to change the patient's position several times a day. The bedding used for this should be soft and non-starched, and blankets and cushions should be light but have a certain amount of cushioning. Various cushions for preventing bedsores are sold on the market.

[0006] As an example, there is a bedsore prevention cushion having a structure in which a plurality of individual air chambers that are interconnected are arranged on a plane, as disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2008-0075812 (Title: Bedsore prevention silicone cushion, Publication date: August 19, 2008).

[0007] However, since conventional cushions have a structure that only has air chambers inside, the pressure of the air chamber part is directly transmitted to the user's affected area, causing the user's affected area to be greatly compressed, making it ineffective in preventing bedsores and causing the user to feel uncomfortable when using it for a long time.

[0008] Additionally, there is a significant risk of injury to the user if any of the air chambers burst during use.

[0009] Accordingly, the present invention has been devised to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and to provide a bedsore prevention mat that can prevent bedsores and the like in a patient by reducing the pressure applied to the patient's body.

[0010] In addition, the present invention aims to provide an efficient mat that can be used in various ways, such as for use as a bedsore prevention mat, as well as for use in car seats, stroller seats, cushions, and pillows.

[0011] In addition, the present invention seeks to provide a bedsore prevention mat that is lighter than a general mat and has a minimized volume when contracted, thereby making it easy to transport and store, and thus allowing convenient use by the user.

[0012] In addition, the present invention aims to provide an economical bedsore prevention mat that can be conveniently used by a patient alone, as air can be injected and discharged using only a valve that is easy to operate with a one-touch operation, without having a separate air inlet and air injection device.

[0013] In addition, the present invention aims to provide a bedsore prevention mat that is easy to remove air even in a folded state because it has a protruding air flow portion and a movement passage portion, unlike conventional air mattresses that take time to deflate due to poor air flow when folded.

[0014] In addition, the present invention provides a bedsore prevention mat that can distribute pressure to the part where the user sits on the mat with the greatest pressure, that is, the contact area of ​​the ischial femur, by forming a filler having a hollow groove portion in the filler to be softer than a filler not having a hollow groove portion, thereby reducing contact pressure and relatively transferring the pressure to the filler not having a hollow groove portion, thereby evenly distributing the applied pressure.

[0015] The problems solved by the present invention are not limited to the problems mentioned above, and other problems not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below.

[0102]

[0103] The bedsore prevention mat of the present invention configured as described above operates in the following manner.

[0104] First, when the patient sits down and the third body (360) of the valve (300) is rotated in one direction, the joint part (372) of the fixed member (370) coupled to the third body (360) rotates along the joint groove part (326) of the second body (320) and then moves in the vertical direction of the joint groove part (326) due to the elasticity of the internal elastic member (340), and the air inside the cell (111) of the mat is released.

[0105] Afterwards, the shape of the cell (111) into which the filler (200) is inserted is changed to suit the body structure, and when the air is properly released and the shape change is completed to suit the body structure of the patient, the third main body (360) is pressed to stop the air from escaping.

[0106] Thereafter, when the user rotates the third main body (360) in one direction while pressing it, the coupling portion (372) of the combined fixing member (370) moves vertically along the coupling groove portion (326) of the second main body (320) and then moves to the side in one direction to be positioned, and the third main body (360) is fixed in the pressed state.

[0107] At this time, the pressing member (380) presses the opening / closing member (330) by pressing the third main body (360), and the opening / closing member (330) presses the elastic member (340) and simultaneously blocks the hole (354) of the support member (350) to prevent air from escaping, and as the third main body (360) is fixed in the pressing state, the air inside the mat is maintained.

[0108] Afterwards, when the patient's use of the mat is finished, the third body (360) of the valve (300) is opened by rotating in one direction, and the air is moved to enter or exit the inside, and the filler (200) that was deformed by the patient's pressing is returned to its original shape.

[0109] In addition, the present invention can inject and discharge air using only a valve without having a separate air inlet and air injection device, so that a patient can conveniently use it alone and it is economical.

[0110] In addition, the present invention has the effect of preventing bedsores, etc. in patients by reducing the pressure applied to the patient's body.

[0111] In addition, the present invention can be used in various ways, such as in a bedsore prevention mat, as well as in car seats, baby stroller seats, cushions, etc., and thus has an efficient effect.

[0112] In addition, the present invention has the effect of making it easier to transport and store by making it lighter than a general mat and minimizing its volume when contracted, thereby enabling convenient use by the user.

[0113] In addition, the present invention has the effect of making it easy to remove air even in a folded state because it has a protruding air flow portion and a movement passage portion, unlike conventional air mattresses that take time to deflate due to poor air flow when folded.

[0114] In addition, the present invention has the effect of distributing the pressure in the contact area of ​​the ischial femur, which is the part that receives the most pressure when a user sits on the mat, by forming the filler having a hollow groove portion in the filler to be softer than the filler not having the hollow groove portion, thereby reducing the contact pressure and relatively transferring the pressure to the filler not having the hollow groove portion, thereby evenly distributing the applied pressure.

[0115] In the above, the configuration and operation of the bedsore prevention mat according to the present invention have been described in detail and illustrated with drawings, but this is merely an example, and various changes and modifications are possible within the scope that does not depart from the technical spirit of the present invention.
