Description

具有改进的位置保持能力的加压套
技术领域
本发明总的涉及一种将加压治疗应用于穿着者身体部分的加压设备,尤其涉及一种具有改进的在身体部分上保持其位置的能力的加压设备。
背景技术
用于将间歇性加压治疗应用到身体部分(举例来说诸如腿的肢体)的加压衣具有很多应用,包括深静脉血栓形成预防、预防浮肿和辅助伤口愈合。有时需要的是在手术过程期间和之后提供有效的加压治疗。这些加压衣的性能易受加压衣在身体部分周围保持其最初的配合和位置的能力的影响。这点在病人移动时,例如行走、就座、站立、翻转时,是很难的。这些加压衣易于在身体部分周围松开或从身体部分滑落,造成加压衣上的可膨胀囊相对于身体部分错位,这会导致加压治疗无效和/或导致不适。因此,加压衣需要在使用中“支撑住”。
发明内容
根据本发明的一个方面,用于对穿着者的身体部分进行加压的加压衣基本上包括一材料层,该材料层的大小与形状适于围绕身体部分缠绕,以使得材料层环绕身体部分并与身体部分贴合。支撑装置操作地连接到该材料层,用于支撑该材料层以防沿身体部分的长度运动。该支撑装置包括第一区域、第二区域和至少一个在第一区域和第二区域之间延伸并使第一区域和第二区域相互连接的腿部。第二区域适于操作地接合穿着者身体的邻近第二区域的一部分,以相对于穿着者身体定位支撑装置从而相对于身体将该材料层支撑在基本固定的位置。
根据本发明的另一方面,用于对穿着者的身体部分进行加压的加压衣总体包括以基本彼此相对的关系设置的内层和外层。内层和外层限定了大腿部分、小腿部分和在大腿部分与小腿部分之间的桥接部分。大腿部分的大小与形状适于设在穿着者大腿周围,而小腿部分的大小与形状适于设在穿着者小腿周围。多个囊设在内层和外层之间,用于向穿着者的身体部分施加压力。至少一个囊位于大腿部分并且至少一个囊位于小腿部分。支撑装置设在内层和外层之间。该支撑装置包括至少部分地设在加压衣的大腿部分上的第一区域、至少部分地设在加压衣的小腿部分上的第二区域和在第一区域与第二区域之间延伸并使第一区域和第二区域相互连接的腿部,该腿部至少部分地设在加压衣的桥接部分上。该支撑装置的第二区域适于接合穿着者的小腿从而可靠地定位该支撑装置,以为加压衣大腿部分提供结构支撑。
其他目的和特征部分是显而易见的,部分将在下文中进行说明。

具体实施方式
现在参考附图,尤其是图1和图2,用于向穿着者的肢体施加顺次的加压治疗的加压装置的一个实施例(广义而言,“加压衣或套”)总体用10表示。这种加压套的大小与形状适用于设置在穿着者腿部周围,但是可被构造为应用到穿着者身体的其他部分。更具体地说,套10具有适于围绕腿部整个圆周缠绕的宽度W(图1)和适于从脚踝延伸到腿部大腿处的长度L(图1)。这种套在本领域中一般被称为大腿围(thigh-length)套,包括大腿部分11a、小腿部分11b和脚踝部分11c。可以理解的是,适用于设置在穿着者身体的其他肢体周围的其他种类的加压装置也在本发明范围内。
参考图1和图2,在本发明的图示实施例中,该加压套10包括四个固定在一起的层。本发明的范围不局限于四层。更特别地说,该加压套包括总体用12表示的内层,总体用14表示的第一中间层(广义而言,第一囊层)叠加在内层上。总体用16表示的第二中间层(广义而言,第二囊层)叠加在第一中间层14上并固定于其上。总体用18表示的外罩叠加到第二中间层16上。在使用过程中,内层12最靠近穿着者的肢体放置并与穿着者的肢体接触,而外罩18最远离穿着者的肢体。膝盖开口19穿过套10形成,该膝盖开口在套应用于腿上时与膝盖的后部大体对准。这些层具有相同的几何形状并相互重叠,以使得这些层的边缘基本上重合。内层12和外层18可以任何合适的方式相互固定和/或固定到中间层14、16。可以预期的是,层12、14、16或18中的一个或多个可以不叠加到对应的层上,而是可略微偏移以适应病人肢体的特定特征。此外,构成加压套10的每一层12、14、16或18的厚度或片材数量可以是不同于所述的值。这些层的厚度可以改变从而增加强度或在扩充期间沿一个方向引起更大膨胀(例如朝向肢体方向)。
参考图1、2和5,第一和第二中间层14、16每个都分别包括弹性材料(广义而言,“囊材料”)的单个片材。例如,片材14和16由作为囊材料的柔软PVC材料制成。层12和18由聚酯材料制成。第二中间层16通过三个分开的囊缝合线22a、22b、22c固定到第一中间层14上,分别限定出沿套10纵向间隔的近端囊24a、中间囊24b和远端囊24c。囊的数量可以是除三个以外的,而不背离本发明的范围。当在此使用时,术语“近端”、“远端”和“中间”表示当套固定到穿着者肢体上时加压套的构件、零件及类似物的相对位置。因此,“近端”构件或类似物最靠近穿着者的肢体与穿着者躯干的连接点设置,“远端”构件最远离该连接点设置,“中间”构件一般设在近端构件和远端构件之间的任意位置。例如“近端”、“远端”、“中间”、“上”、“下”、“内”、“外”的术语用来方便地描述相对位置而不是对各个构件位置情况的绝对要求。
鉴于接下来所讨论的原因,近端囊24a在套10的上边缘附近限定出近端横向延伸部25(见图5)。囊24a、24b、24c是周向囊,意味着其大小和形状适于基本上围绕穿着者肢体的整个周长或者近似几乎围绕肢体的整个周长缠绕。举例来说,在一个实施例中,囊24a、24b、24c分别在腿部平均周长的至少90%上延伸。可以理解的是,在本发明的范围内,周向延伸长度可以是所述之外的延伸长度。
中间层14、16可通过射频焊接、粘合剂或其它化学和/或机械方法固定在一起。可以理解的是,中间层14、16可在其他位置固定在一起,例如在外围附近和囊缝合线22a、22b、22c处从而进一步限定可膨胀囊24a、24b、24c的形状。为了以下论述,第一中间层14沿缝合线42(图1)固定到内层12,该缝合线沿第一中间层14的外围延伸,以使得囊24a、24b、24c的中心区域未固定到内层12上。这允许囊24a、24b、24c相对于内层12移动。第二中间层16也沿同一缝合线42固定到内层12上。第一中间层14可通过射频焊接或粘合剂或其它合适方法固定到内层12上。正如下文所述,这种结构提高了舒适性。
参考图2和4,每个可膨胀囊24a、24b、24c分别通过专用的近端囊管26a、中间囊管26b和远端囊管26c从加压流体源(未示出)接收流体(图2)。对于本发明的实施,一个管线不必专用于一个囊。每个管26a、26b、26c都位于中间层14、16之间并通过相应的囊缝合线22a、22b、22c固定到相应的囊24a、24b、24c上。正如图2和4中最佳图示,第一中间层16限定了切口27(图2),以使得管26a、26b、26c的部分未位于中间层之间。将管26a、26b和26c固定到囊24a、24b和24c的其它方法也在本发明的范围内。使用第二连接器30(图1和2)将管26a、26b、26c的相对端部集中在一起,该第二连接器适于将这些管流体连接到加压流体源。加压流体源可以是微处理器控制下的空气加压机,该空气加压机以本领域众所周知的方式顺次加压囊。一种示例性空气加压机记载在Bock的美国专利US 5,876,359中,其公开内容在此引入以供参考。囊24a、24b、24c可被构造为容纳被加压至至少大约10mmHg(1333Pa)到大约145mmHg(6000Pa)的空气。囊应当能够进行重复加压而不会失效。适于片材的材料包括但不限于基本上不会延展的柔软PVC材料。在另一个实施例中,中间层可形成一用于容纳可膨胀囊的腔室,该囊与该腔室分离。在这个实施例中,不需要这些层能够容纳加压空气,只要可膨胀囊有这种能力即可。应当注意,囊24a、24b、24c具有完全穿过囊延伸的开口32,正如本发明实施例中所述。
特别参考图1和5,套10限定了包括一对位于膝盖开口19的相对两侧上的桥接件84的连接部分,该桥接件在包括近端囊24a的套近端部分和套的其他部分之间延伸并将包括近端囊24a的套近端部分和套的其他部分相连。近端管26a基本上沿桥接件84的轴线设置从而为套10提供结构上的纵向支撑。如图4中最佳图示,中间板16上的切口27没有贯穿桥接件84延伸。如上所述,近端囊管26a在近端横向延伸部25处固定到近端囊24a上。近端囊管26a沿近端囊24a的远端部分的一侧延伸以便其并不进入囊直到其到达近端横向延伸部25。近端囊管26a可为大腿部分11a提供支撑以防止沿腿聚拢或滑动,但是在图示实施例中不必这样做。
参考图1、3和5,近端囊24a在邻近囊开口32并位于由囊缝合线22a限定的囊外周以内的点焊92处固定到内层12和外罩18上。点焊92将外罩18和内层12相对于囊24a、24b、24c固定在适当位置。换句话说,点焊92防止囊24a、24b、24c相对于内层12和外罩18明显地移动同时仍旧为套10提供相当大的柔性。内层12和外罩18相对于囊24a、24b、24c的过多运动会降低套的配合度,从而导致加压治疗功效的降低。近端囊24a在点焊92之外的地方未固定到内层12和外罩18以保持套的柔性,因此不会损及病人腿部的灵活性。可在点焊92处将内层12连接到层16,或者可在开口32的缝合线34处连接内层12。在远离开口32和点焊缝92处,内层12未连接到形成囊的囊材料表面上,该囊膨胀以对病人的肢体进行加压治疗。
参考图1和4,外罩18的整个外表面还用作用来将套10固定到穿着者肢体上的紧固系统的紧固件。在一个特定实施例中,例如网式外罩18(图4)具有一外表面,包括用作钩-环紧固系统中环形构件的环44。如图4所示,网结构具有形成外罩18的材料的相互连接的或编织的纤维21。环44可形成为外罩18材料的一部分或者以其它方式设在外罩18的表面上。这种结构中的合适材料为中国泉州市泉州福联经编实业有限公司出售的聚酯网环2103。钩构件46(图3)分别在近端、中间和远端翼片41a、41b、41c处附接于内层12的内表面。当套10沿圆周方向围绕穿着者肢体缠绕时,外罩18的环44允许钩构件46(图3)沿外罩外表面固定在任何地方。这允许套10具有相对于不同穿着者肢体的圆周基本上适合全尺码的构造。此外,具有环44的外罩18允许专业人员快速确信地将套10固定到穿着者的肢体上而无需调整紧固件。
参考图2,5和6,支撑插入物90(广义而言,“支撑装置”)设在第一中间层14和内层12之间。插入物90为套10提供支撑结构用以在竖直方向防止大腿部分11a的弯曲(buckling),防止沿腿滑动(例如可能由桥接件84的弯曲引起的)。插入物90包括第一部分100、包括第一和第二底部104的第二部分102和包括连接第一和第二部分的第一和第二腿部106的桥接件。第一部分100由具有圆形近端角的较大大致矩形部分限定。第一和第二腿部104分别具有比第一部分100或第二部分的宽度小的最大宽度。第一部分100中的孔108基本与近端囊24a中的开口32对齐。第一部分100中的凹槽110还为近端囊24a中的开口32提供间隙。孔108和凹槽110还设置成用于使得插入物90不妨碍中间层14、16中的开口32的蒸发功能。将孔108与中间层14、16中的开口32对齐还将插入物90在套10中固定就位。
腿部106从第一部分100向远侧延伸并在膝盖开口19侧面。桥接部分106包括宽度减小部分112,该部分的目的将在下文中进行解释。宽度减小部分112具有比腿部106的最大宽度小的宽度。第一和第二底部104在膝盖开口19下方从相应腿部106的中间延伸。延伸部分104的自由端间隔开。当将加压衣10穿在腿上时,空隙位于腿弯部静脉上方。按照这种方式,插入物90未妨碍阻挡血液通过腿弯部静脉从腿流出。插入物90可由柔性泡沫或任何其他合适的材料组成,用来为套10提供结构刚度以帮助将套在穿着者肢体上保持就位。然而,泡沫还优选为足够柔性的因此绝不会妨碍加压衣10围绕腿缠绕。
参考图7和8,插入物90的第一部分100基本上在套10的大腿部分11a的整个高度上延伸。通过这种方式,插入物90为大腿部分11a提供支撑从而防止大腿部分聚拢(弯曲)或大腿部分沿肢体滑动的趋势。插入物90的腿部106沿套10的桥接件84的长度延伸,为套的桥接件提供结构刚度。底部104被构造为接合穿着者的小腿,使小腿作为支撑套10近端部分(大腿部分11a和桥接件84)的支架。同时,腿一弯曲,小腿就将向底部104施加向上的力,提供附加支撑力以使套10在腿上保持在其预定位置。
在第二实施例中,插入物90′(图9)包括具有腿部106′的桥接件,该腿部没有宽度减小部分。此外插入物90′具有与插入物90基本相同的功能。
在所示实施例中,大腿部分11a可从套10的其他部分拆下以将套从大腿长度转换为膝盖长度。尤其是,包括近端囊24a和桥接件84的套10的近端部分可从该套的其他部分拆下。在邻近桥接件84将大腿部分11a连接至小腿及脚踝部分11b、11c处,包括在中间层14内的穿孔线93的撕裂线横向跨过中间层延伸。在一个优选实施例中,拆卸是破坏性且永久的。可以理解,在本发明范围内该套包括一条撕裂线或多于两条的撕裂线。还可以理解,在本发明范围内穿孔的形状可以是圆形(图2B)或槽形(图2C)或其他形状。在除穿孔线93之外的撕裂线处弱化套10的其他方法也落入本发明的范围内。举例来说,撕裂线可包括中间层14、16的变薄部分。还可以理解的是,可设置撕裂线以断开套部分的不同部分的连接(即,除大腿部分11a之外的部分)。
内衬12和外罩18都没有弱化部(例如穿孔),尽管这种结构是可预期的并落入本发明的范围内。相反,如图2A和2D最佳图示,内衬12和外罩18基本上在邻近中间层14、16中的穿孔线93处是间断的,从而邻近该穿孔线限定相应的相对终端边缘94。每个穿孔线93设在内衬12和外罩18的相应的相对终端边缘94之间。在所示实施例中,内衬12和外罩18的终端边缘94沿与相应的左右桥接件84有关的终端固定线95a、95b部分地焊接或以其他方式固定到相应的中间层14、16。焊接线95a、95b与将囊层14、16固定到内衬12和外罩18的缝合线相邻接。
在桥接件84上的终端固定线95a(图2A-2C)是间断的并且没有横向跨过桥接件延伸。反之,终端固定线95a、95b朝向彼此和桥接件84的中心会聚。然后终端固定线95a、95b折回并向下弯曲到终端边缘94的端部。在左侧桥接件上,固定线95a、95b在囊管26a的相对两侧上限定了向内相对的突出部并便于囊管的定位。然而,焊接线95a没有永久地连接囊管26a因此可以去除,正如下文中所述。插入物90的宽度减小部分112在终端固定线95a、95b会聚之处与终端固定线95a、95b对齐,并为这种会聚提供间隙。
基本上,每个终端边缘94连接到位于穿孔线93的相应相对侧上的中间层14、16。通过在邻近中间层14、16中的穿孔线93的位置上使内衬12和外罩18间断,与内衬和外罩为连续的并包括与中间层中的穿孔线类似的穿孔线的情况相比,套可在穿孔线处更容易地撕开。此外,该套的抗撕裂性在终端固定线95a、95b处更大。终端固定线95a、95b处更大的抗撕裂性有利于该套沿穿孔线93更精确的撕裂并且防止撕裂线的偶然明显偏离。
可以理解的是,撕裂线可位于除图示之外的其他位置,用于将大腿部分11a从套10的其他部分拆下。如图所示,小腿和脚踝部分11b、11c之间没有撕裂线。还可以理解的是,在本发明范围内,套10可被设置为具有除大腿部分11a之外或代替大腿部分的其他可拆卸部分。
正如先前所述,近端囊管26a设在中间层14、16之间并穿过桥接件84中的一个延伸。近端囊管26a可拆卸地固定到连接器30因此近端囊管可与连接器断开以及使得大腿部分11a可从套10的其他部分移开。连接器30和近端囊管26a可以是2004年2月23日提交并指定给本申请受让人的、未决美国专利申请No.10/784,607中公开的那种类型,其全文在此引用以供参考。尤其是,连接器30允许近端囊管26a的无损断开以为拆卸大腿部分11a做准备。因为近端囊管26a和插入物90的腿部106基本上垂直于撕裂线穿过桥接件84延伸,可能很难沿中间层14、16中的相应穿孔线撕裂套10。因此,管进出口或窗口96是由外罩18中的开口96a和第二中间层16中的对齐开口96b形成。因为窗口穿过外罩18和邻近外罩的第二中间层16延伸以露出近端囊管的一部分从而便于在撕裂套10之前使近端囊管26a从桥接件84拆卸下来。在所示实施例中,管进出窗口96基本为椭圆形并在不到一个桥接件84的整个轴长范围内延伸。
使用过程中,近端囊管26a可与连接器30脱离然后通过管进出窗口96拉出,以使得该管不再经过中间层14、16之间的撕裂线。在管26a在相应撕裂线处从中间层14、16之间移除的情况下,套可容易地沿着穿孔线93撕开以拆卸包括近端囊24a和桥接件84的近端部分。
类似地,如插入物90的第一实施例中所示,腿部106具有宽度减小部分112,其使得能更容易地从套10的膝盖部分11b拉动腿部106和底部104。除了容纳终端固定线95a、95b,宽度减小部分112减少桥接件84处及其下方的插入物90的材料量。这种结构使得更容易地将腿部106和底部104从套10的膝盖部分11b拆卸。因此,如果大腿部分11a和桥接件84从加压衣10处移除,穿孔93(见图2a)被部分撕裂。宽度减小部分112和延伸部104被从小腿部分11b拉出,完成穿孔93的撕裂以将大腿部分11a和桥接件84与加压衣10的其他部分分开。实现分开的其他方法是可预期的。举例来说,插入物的腿部(未示出)可具有基本上与穿孔93对齐的脆弱线(例如穿孔)。在这种情况下,延伸部和宽度减小部分的一部分将被从插入物的其余部分撕下。
以上详细地描述了本发明,显而易见的是可以进行变型和改变而不脱离本发明请求保护的范围。
当介绍本发明或其优选实施例的元件时,属于“一”、“该”和“所述”等意图表示存在一个或多个元件。术语“包括”、“包含”和“具有”等为包含性的并且表示可能具有除了列出元件之外的其他元件。
鉴于上述内容,可以看出,实现了本发明的几个目的并且获得其他的有益效果。
因为可在上述结构中做出各种变化而不脱离本发明的范围,上述说明和附图所示的所有内容应被解释为示例性的而非限制性的。
