Definitions

  • the invention relates to a medical support for the storage of body parts, the supporting contact surface of which can be adapted to adapt to the body part to be supported.
  • flexible foil bags or foil pillows are known, which are filled with a viscous or pasty gel mass.
  • the resilient pad adapts to the shape of the area of the body part in question, so that this area can be better healed compared to a rigid or padded pad.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a medical pad of the type mentioned, which, in addition to improved durability and higher pressure resistance, above all enables freely selectable areas of the support surface of the pad to achieve pressure relief at desired points on the body part to be supported can be adjusted.
  • the solution to the problem is based on the above-mentioned document and is characterized in that the document consists of a plate-like carrier part with a large number of receptacles arranged close to one another on its upper side and a large number of loosely inserted into the receptacles, with its support-friendly shaped There is an upper end of a substantially closed support or support surface inserting elements.
  • the carrier part consists of essentially semi-rigid plastic material and has a plurality of conical or frustoconical, evenly spaced depressions or projections to form the receptacles.
  • At least the upper end area of the insert elements consists of elastic material, e.g. made of silicone rubber.
  • the upper end of the insert elements is preferably spherical, and furthermore these elements have a different length.
  • the support or support surface of the pad can be changed so that a complete pressure relief in one or more areas of the body part of the patient to be supported is achieved by removing a corresponding number of insertion elements from the carrier part.
  • At least the upper end of the insert elements is designed or designed so that the upper ends do not cause any additional pain pressure points. This can be achieved in that the upper ends are shaped accordingly and / or consist of a correspondingly soft material.
  • the supporting surface of the underlay can e.g. by the different lengths of the insertion elements and by simply and quickly repositioning the elements, the curvature or curvature of the area of the body part to be supported lying on the support can be adapted.
  • Both the plug-in elements and the carrier part therefor consist of durable and also more pressure-resistant, preferably plastic material, so that the base is robust and stable at relatively low manufacturing costs and has a long service life.
  • the pad according to the invention can advantageously be used in patients who, for example, are prevented from sitting without symptoms by boils in the buttocks area.
  • the medical pad is generally designated 1 and, for example, in the form of a seat pad. However, it is also possible to train such documents to support legs or arms.
  • the base 1 consists of a plate-like carrier part 2 with a multiplicity of receptacles 3 arranged close to one another (FIGS. 2 and 3) on the upper side 4 of the carrier part and of a multiplicity of insertion elements 5 optionally and loosely inserted into the receptacles.
  • the carrier part 2 preferably consists made of a rigid or essentially semi-rigid material, e.g. made of an appropriate plastic.
  • the receptacles 3 can be formed by forming truncated cone-shaped depressions in the plate-shaped carrier part 2, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, or by providing such projections on the top of the base.
  • projections these are each spaced from one another in such a way that an insertion element 6 is securely supported in a vertical position.
  • the depressions 3 or alternatively the projections can also have a different cross-sectional shape in order to securely support the elements 5.
  • the depressions or projections are preferably positioned so close and evenly together that the inserted elements 5 touch or almost touch each other, so that the insertion elements, i.e. the upper end of which, even in this state, form an essentially closed support or support surface 6.
  • the insertion elements 5 are designed in such a way that at least their upper end is shaped so as to be easy to support.
  • the procedure can be such that at least the upper end 5a or the upper end section of the insert elements 5 made of elastic material, e.g. made of silicone or silicone rubber, as indicated in FIG. 2 for the left element 5.
  • the upper end of the elements 5 will deform under pressure and assume such a shape that adapts to the surface shape of the area of the supported body part of the patient resting on the elements 5, so that the patient does not feel any particular pressure points and the support of his treating body part feels permanently pleasant.
  • the insertion elements 5 being made entirely of elastic material and by the fact that they are cylindrical in their length section 5b protruding from the depressions 3.
  • the latter creates a relatively large amount of cavity between the elements 5, although they touch or almost touch each other in the unloaded state. These cavities are available under load to accommodate the laterally diverting material of the insert elements.
  • the length section 5b in question can also have a polygonal cross-sectional shape.
  • the upper end of the insert elements according to FIG. 2 can additionally be rounded or flatly rounded or shaped in another way in a comparable manner.
  • the insertion section 5c is preferably also frustoconical or conical so that the elements 5 have a secure fit in the receptacles 3.
  • both the insertion sections 5c of elements 5 and the receptacles 3 have different cross-sectional profiles than those mentioned.
  • insert elements 5 of the same length, but elastic, ie essentially flexible, that the elements can adapt to the respective curvature or curvature of the region of a patient's body part to be supported, this ability of the insert elements is improved in that the Elements have different lengths, as is readily apparent and as can be seen from FIG. 2.
  • the support surface 6 of the pad can adapt to the shape of the area of a patient's body part to be supported or that the surface course takes place, which is caused by pressure load through said area and reaction of the insert elements 5 arises.
  • Figure 1 shows that in zone 7 of the base 1 shown as a seat pad a number of insertion elements 5 are missing, which have been removed by simply removing the loose elements 3 in the receptacles. Accordingly, no reaction pressure is exerted in this zone on the rest of the supported area of a part of the patient's body, so that this zone takes up a point in the area mentioned which is not to be stressed for therapeutic reasons. This point is then not subjected to any pressure loads. Furthermore, it is readily apparent that 5 new zones 7 can be formed at the desired location by repositioning the plug-in elements and that bio-related zones 7 can be filled in again with plug-in elements.
