Abstract

A support element for stabilizing the head of a patient with a cushion containing loose particles that have a clearance between them that can be lessened by vacuuming out the air. Side supporting cushions containing loose particles are disposed on the base cushion.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Stützelement zur Stabilisierung des Kopfes eines Patienten, mit einem Auflagepolster, in dem lose Partikel vorgesehen sind, deren Freiraum durch Luftabsaugung verringert werden kann.The invention relates to a support element for stabilizing the head of a patient, with a support cushion, are provided in the loose particles whose free space can be reduced by air suction.

Aus der WO 01/30280 ist eine Einrichtung zur Stützung des Oberkörpers bekannt, die ein flexibles, mit losen Partikeln, insbesondere geschäumten Polystyroporkugeln, gefülltes Füllelement aufweist. Diese Stützeinrichtung wird vor allem bei sitzenden Verletzten eingesetzt und umfängt den Oberkörper, den Nacken und den Kopf des Patienten, und wird händisch an die Körperform angepasst und durch Befestigungsgurte fixiert. Durch die anschließende Evakuierung wird dem eingefüllten Granulat der Bewegungsfreiraum entzogen und die Stützeinrichtung versteift.From the WO 01/30280 a device for supporting the upper body is known, which has a flexible, with loose particles, in particular foamed Polystyroporkugeln, filled filling element. This support device is mainly used in seated casualties and embraces the upper body, the neck and the head of the patient, and is adapted by hand to the body shape and fixed by fastening straps. By the subsequent evacuation of the filled granules of freedom of movement is withdrawn and stiffened the support means.

In einer Ausführung ist die Stützeinrichtung auf den Kopf- und Nackenbereich beschränkt, in dem der Oberkörperstützteil wesentlich verkürzt ist. Für die Seitenabstützung des Kopfs müssen die überstehenden Bereiche der Stützeinrichtung hochgeschlagen werden.In one embodiment, the support means is limited to the head and neck area in which the upper body support member is substantially shortened. For the side support of the head, the protruding areas of the support device must be turned up.

Als Kopfauflage für Krankentragen ist eine mehrteilige Immobilisierungseinrichtung in Verwendung, die eine gepolsterte Grundplatte und beidseitig je einen auf die Grundplatte auflegbaren Schaumstoffwürfel aufweist, der mit einer mittleren Öffnung zur Aufnahme der Ohren versehen ist. Die Einrichtung umfasst zusätzliche Stirn- und Kinngurten sowie Befestigungs- und Verbindungselemente.As a headrest for stretchers a multi-part immobilization device is in use, which has a padded base plate and on both sides each have a auflegbaren on the base plate foam cube, which is provided with a central opening for receiving the ears. The device includes additional forehead and chin straps as well as fastening and connecting elements.

Die Schaumstoffwürfel passen sich nicht der Kopfform an, sodass die Immobilisierungseinrichtung nicht übermäßig bequem ist. Der Hauptnachteil liegt aber in der Mehrteiligkeit, die die rasche Handhabung erschwert.The foam cubes do not conform to the head shape, so the immobilizer is not overly comfortable. The main drawback lies in the multi-part nature, which makes fast handling difficult.

US 2006/0042013 zeigt eine Kopfstütze, die aus zwei in der Form nicht veränderbaren Keilen besteht, die von beiden Seiten gegen den Kopf angelegt und auf einer nicht absaugbaren Unterlage fixiert werden, vorzugsweise über Klettverbindungen. Die Keile bestehen aus einem Schaumstoff, und nicht aus einer losen Füllung, die verformbar ist. US 2006/0042013 shows a headrest, which consists of two non-deformable wedges, which are applied from both sides against the head and fixed on a non-absorbent pad, preferably via Velcro. The wedges are made of a foam, not a loose filling that is malleable.

US 5 906 205 zeigt eine Immobilisierungseinrichtung für einen Patienten in Seitenlage, wobei die in Fig. 10 gezeigten Seitenteile hochgeklappt werden können. Dadurch entsteht eine (flache) U-Form. Die Ausbildung der Gelenkstellen 113e am Rand des Mittelteils macht es unmöglich, dass die Seitenteile sich weiter nach innen verlagern, wie es für eine Auflage Voraussetzung wäre. Und aufgrund der Außenhülle 117 können die Seitenteile auch nicht nach innen umgeklappt werden. US 5,906,205 shows an immobilization device for a patient in a lateral position, wherein the side parts shown in Fig. 10 can be folded up. This creates a (flat) U-shape. The formation of the hinge points 113e at the edge of the middle part makes it impossible for the side parts to shift further inward, as would be the requirement for a support. And due to the outer shell 117, the side parts can not be folded inwards.

US 5 906 205 zeigt also einen absaugbaren Auflagepolster mit loser Füllung gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. US 5,906,205 So shows a suction pad with loose filling according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die Erfindung hat es sich nun zur Aufgabe gestellt, ein Stützelement zu schaffen, das sich an den Kopf des Patienten anpassen lässt, rasch und einfach gehandhabt werden kann und eine so weit als möglich bequeme Lagerung ermöglicht.The invention has now taken on the task of creating a support member that can be adapted to the head of the patient, can be handled quickly and easily and allows as far as possible comfortable storage.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, dass auf dem Auflagepolster lose Partikel enthaltende Seitenstützpolster vorgesehen sind.According to the invention, this is achieved by providing loose support-containing side support cushions on the support cushion.

Auf diese Weise wird eine Kopfstütze geschaffen, deren Seitenstützpolster sich durch das Auflegen des Kopfes auf den Auflagepolster bereits weitgehend an die gewünschte Form anpassen, da die Füllung in den Seitenstützpolstern sich verlagern kann. Dabei hat es sich gezeigt, dass bereits durch diese Verformung eine relativ gute Stabilisierung des Kopfes auch ohne Evakuierung der Seitenstützpolster gegeben ist, da ein weiteres Ausweichen der auf dem Auflagepolster fixierten Seitenstützpolster durch die Reibung der Partikel der Füllung aneinander einen relativ großen Kraftaufwand erfordert.In this way, a headrest is created, the side support cushion already largely adapt to the desired shape by placing the head on the support cushion, since the filling in the side support cushions can shift. It has been shown that a relatively good stabilization of the head even without evacuation of the side support cushion is already given by this deformation, since further evasion of the fixed on the support cushion side support cushion by the friction of the particles of the filling together requires a relatively large amount of force.

Selbstverständlich wird die Stabilität des Stützelementes nochmals verbessert, wenn das nach Auflage des Kopfes angepasste Stützelement evakuiert wird. Dies ist vor allem bei Verdacht auf Verletzungen der Wirbelsäule im Nackenbereich notwendig.Of course, the stability of the support element is further improved when the support member adapted to support the head is evacuated. This is especially necessary for suspected spinal column injuries in the neck area.

Um nun alle drei Polster mit einem einzigen Absaugvorgang zu evakuieren, ist in einer bevorzugten Ausführung vorgesehen, dass die Verbindungsbereiche zwischen den Seitenstützpolstern und dem Auflagepolster luftdurchlässig sind. Die Luftdurchlässigkeit kann beispielsweise durch Durchbrechungen der Hülle der Polster erreicht werden, die mit einem Gewebe od. dgl. überdeckt sein können, um den Übertritt von Partikeln zwischen den Seitenstützpolstern und dem Auflagepolster zu verhindern.In order to evacuate all three pads with a single suction, it is provided in a preferred embodiment, that the connection areas between the side support pads and the support cushion are permeable to air. The air permeability can be achieved, for example, by perforations of the shell of the upholstery, which can be covered with a fabric or the like, in order to prevent the passage of particles between the side support cushions and the support cushion.

Wenn die Seitenstützpolster relativ hoch ausgebildet sein sollen, ist in einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführung vorgesehen, dass jeder Seitenstützpolster aus zumindest zwei übereinander liegenden Kissen gebildet ist.If the side support cushions are to be designed to be relatively high, it is provided in a further preferred embodiment that each side support cushion is formed from at least two pillows lying one above the other.

Nachstehend wird nun die Erfindung anhand der Figuren der beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher beschrieben, ohne darauf beschränkt zu sein. Es zeigen:

Ein Stützelement 1 weist einen lose Partikel, beispielsweise ein Granulat aus geschäumtem Polystyrol enthaltenden Auflagepolster 1 auf, auf dem zu beiden Seiten eines Auflageraumes 7 für den Kopf 9 eines Patienten Seitenstützpolster 3 vorgesehen sind, die ebenfalls lose Partikel enthalten. Die Polster 2 und 3 weisen insbesondere eine Außenhülle aus einer verschweißbaren Folie auf, sodass die Seitenstützpolster 3 mit dem Auflagepolster 2 durch eine Schweißnaht 8 verbunden werden können. Innerhalb des von der Schweißnaht 8 eingefassten Verbindungsbereiches sind nur schematisch angedeutete Öffnungen 4 vorgesehen, durch die die Luft zwischen den Polstern übertreten kann. Dadurch ist nur ein Ventil 6 am Auflagepolster 2 notwendig, um das Stützelement 1 zu evakuieren. Selbstverständlich wäre es möglich, jeden Polster 2, 3 mit einem eigenen Ventil zu versehen, dies verzögert aber die Handhabung, wenn alle drei evakuiert werden sollen. Insbesondere am Auflagepolster 2 können nicht gezeigte Befestigungsgurte angeordnet werden, die beispielsweise über der Stirn oder über dem Kinn geschlossen werden können.A support element 1 has a loose particles, for example granules of foamed polystyrene-containing support pad 1, on which on both sides of a support space 7 for the head 9 of a patient side support pad 3 are provided which also loose Contain particles. The pads 2 and 3 have in particular an outer shell of a weldable film, so that the side support cushion 3 can be connected to the support cushion 2 by a weld 8. Within the enclosed by the weld 8 connection area only schematically indicated openings 4 are provided through which the air can pass between the pads. As a result, only one valve 6 on the support pad 2 is necessary to evacuate the support element 1. Of course, it would be possible to provide each pad 2, 3 with its own valve, but this delays handling when all three are to be evacuated. In particular, the support pad 2, not shown fastening straps can be arranged, which can be closed, for example, over the forehead or over the chin.

Fig. 3 zeigt, dass jedes Seitenstützpolster 3 aus zumindest zwei Kissen 5 bestehen kann, wobei die beiden Kissen 5 miteinander bevorzugt ebenfalls in der eben beschriebenen Weise verbunden und gemeinsam evakuiert werden können. Ein zweites oder auch drittes Kissen 5 auf jeder Seite kann auch kleiner sein, beispielsweise nur halb so groß, und nur in der oberen Kopfhälfte wirksam sein. Fig. 3 shows that each side support pad 3 may consist of at least two pads 5, wherein the two pads 5 preferably also connected to each other in the manner just described and can be evacuated together. A second or even third pad 5 on each side can also be smaller, for example, only half as large, and be effective only in the upper half of the head.

Bevorzugt sind die Partikel in einem luftdurchlässigen Gewebesack oder -beutel angeordnet, der in die luftdichten Polster 2, 3 eingesetzt ist. Dies verhindert den Übertritt von Partikeln zwischen den Polstern 2, 3. Wenn die Partikel unmittelbar in die Polster eingefüllt sind, können die Öffnungen mit einem luftdurchlässigen Gewebestück überdeckt sein.Preferably, the particles are arranged in an air-permeable fabric bag or bag, which is inserted into the airtight pad 2, 3. This prevents the passage of particles between the pads 2, 3. If the particles are filled directly into the pad, the openings may be covered with an air-permeable piece of fabric.
