Definitions

  • Buttocks support for at least partially relieving the body weight of a person and relief system comprising such a buttocks support
  • the present invention relates to a buttock support for at least partially relieving the body weight of a person, at least comprising a receiving means for receiving at least part of a buttocks area of the person, with a longitudinal extent, a height, a front side, a back side, an upper side and a lower side, wherein the Accommodating means comprises at least one connecting element for operative connection with a bed or a relief system.
  • training devices with an integrated body weight relief system are known which are used to secure and relieve the weight of patients with walking disabilities, in particular Stroke patients, can be used when performing treadmill training.
  • the object of the present invention is to further improve existing body weight relief systems of the prior art with regard to the possibility of connection to a user.
  • the connection between a user, in particular a seriously ill, bedridden patient, and the relief system should be as simple as possible and can be carried out by a single person.
  • the body weight relief system should also be designed in such a way that interference with or impairment of other medical devices connected to the patient's body is avoided and at the same time the user is able to step/walk without hindrance.
  • This object is initially achieved by a seat support for at least partially relieving the body weight of a person with the features of independent patent claim 1 and by a relief system with the features of independent claim 13 .
  • a buttock support according to the invention is distinguished from generic buttock supports in that the receiving means has two support areas which are separated from one another by a recess, the support areas being rounded at least with respect to the top side and the front side of the receiving means; and wherein the recess separates the two support areas centrally with respect to the longitudinal extent of the receiving means.
  • the buttock support according to the invention makes it possible to connect a patient to a body weight relief system in a quick and simple manner, for example in preparation for manual and/or automated movement therapy.
  • the connection can advantageously be carried out by a single person without having to turn the patient with respect to the longitudinal axis of his body.
  • the recess according to the invention which separates the two support areas in the middle with respect to the longitudinal extent of the receiving means, allows medical treatment of the patient in the thigh and groin area, as is the case, for example, with a patient ventilated via veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). via femoral catheter has to be maintained advantageously during movement therapy.
  • VV-ECMO veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
  • the rounded design of the two support areas also leads to a force being exerted on the patient's sitting bones (at the point of contact between the buttocks and the support area) at every verticalization angle of a hospital bed, which is assumed, for example, by the vertically adjustable hospital bed in order to carry out the movement therapy ), which acts almost perpendicularly to a tangent regarding the curve of the respective support area, which has a beneficial effect on the patient's "feeling of support/sitting" and thus enables comfortable sitting on the buttock support.
  • the buttock support according to the invention advantageously increases the freedom of movement of the patient's thighs when carrying out said movement therapy.
  • the gap is between 2 and 7 cm, preferably between 4 and 5 cm, particularly preferably 4.75 cm.
  • the receiving means can be designed in one piece.
  • a one-piece receptacle can advantageously be manufactured via additive manufacturing techniques.
  • an embodiment of the buttock support according to the invention has also proven itself in which the receiving means is designed in several pieces, with the two support areas in particular being able to be designed as separate components.
  • An alternative multi-part configuration advantageously allows a completely free choice with regard to the materials used for the individual components.
  • a multi-part design in which the support areas are preferably designed as separate components, makes it possible to disassemble the buttock support into individual parts for cleaning and disinfection. For this purpose, the support areas in particular can be separated from the rest of the buttock support for cleaning after each use.
  • an embodiment has proven itself in which the receiving means has a higher height in the area of its transverse sides than in the area of the recess.
  • a greater height in the area of the transverse sides compared to the height in the area of the recess, ie a widening at the outer edge of the buttock support, can advantageously reduce the tilting of the buttock support.
  • the fact that not the entire buttock support, in particular the receiving means, but only the area near the transverse sides is widened advantageously ensures good handling when pushing the buttock support under the person's legs and the weight of the buttock support is also not unnecessarily increased.
  • an embodiment of the buttock support according to the invention is preferred in which the two support areas are designed to project out of a base plane of the receiving means in the direction of its front side.
  • Such a configuration of the two support areas advantageously enables the person's buttocks area to be spaced apart from the base plane of the receiving means and thus also from the lying surface of the hospital bed. This advantageously increases the accessibility of the patient's thigh and groin area by medical personnel.
  • an embodiment of the buttock support according to the invention has proven itself in which the two support areas have a surface that is non-slip relative to the skin, at least with regard to the upper side and/or the front side.
  • a surface of the support areas that is non-slip relative to skin advantageously prevents the patient from slipping off the buttock support, in particular on the two support areas of the receiving means, during use. Slipping can advantageously be prevented in particular during the verticalization of the hospital bed or during a change in the verticalization angle.
  • the two support areas are formed from an elastic material or are provided with an elastic padding layer, at least with regard to the upper side and/or the front side.
  • the use of elastic material to form the two support areas or the provision of said support areas with an elastic padding layer advantageously increases the sitting comfort of the patient and prevents unnecessary pressure loads in the area of the buttocks-support area contact point.
  • Such a configuration of the support areas, at least with regard to the upper side and/or the front side also enables comfortable support over the entire radius of the movement performed as part of a movement therapy.
  • the buttocks support has at least one, preferably two, straps for reversible attachment of the receiving means to the person.
  • Such straps which are preferably arranged in the base plane of the mounting means and are placed around the thighs of the user and then in turn can be connected to the mounting means, in particular to its base level, and/or from a transverse side of the buttock support, in particular its mounting means, along the Longitudinal extension of the buttock support running to the other transverse side advantageously allow a further possibility of securing particularly severely restricted, especially unconscious, patients from slipping off the buttock support.
  • an embodiment of the invention has proven itself in which the receiving means, in particular the two support areas, are formed at least in sections from a disinfectable plastic, in particular polyurethane, or are provided with a disinfectable coating, in particular polyurethane.
  • a disinfectable plastic as the construction material for the receiving means, in particular for the two support areas or providing the receiving means, in particular these areas, with a disinfectable coating advantageously enables rapid and thorough cleaning or disinfection of the areas that come into contact with a patient the buttock support. As a result, increased hygiene requirements, in particular in the intensive care unit, can advantageously be met more easily.
  • the holding means comprises at least one handle for transporting the buttock support, in particular the holding means, when not in use.
  • the buttock support can be easily transported from one place of use to the next.
  • the connecting element for the operative connection to the bed comprises a connecting device with at least one connecting arm, preferably two connecting arms, the connecting arm or possibly the connecting arms being pivotably mounted via at least one joint, so that the seat support can be brought from a storage position below a mattress of the bed to a use position above the mattress of the bed and vice versa.
  • a connecting element designed in this way for the operative connection to the bed advantageously enables the buttock support to be stored on the bed in a space-saving manner and yet always ready for use and to be quickly and easily transferred to a usage position for use.
  • a buttock support designed in this way or a connecting element designed in this way for the operative connection to the bed is particularly suitable for retrofitting an existing infrastructure in hospitals and care facilities.
  • the present invention also relates to a relief system for at least partially relieving the body weight of a person, at least comprising a suspension for attaching the relief system to a head end of a hospital bed and a support means for operatively connecting the suspension to a device for supporting the person, the device for supporting the person is wearing a buttock brace as described above.
  • the support means or a connecting means for the operative connection to the relief system includes a quick-release fastener, which is set up to release the connection between the buttock support and the suspension without additional aids.
  • a quick-release fastener (“quick-release fastener”) advantageously makes it possible to release the connection between the seat support and the suspension even when a certain tensile stress is still acting on the suspension element. This can be the case, in particular, when, after carrying out rehabilitation exercises in a verticalized state of the bed, it is brought back into a horizontal position, due to friction between the mattress of the bed and the patient or the buttock support does not fully recover relaxed initial state.
  • the buttock support according to the invention and the relief system for at least partially relieving the body weight of a person comprising such a buttock support considerably facilitate the connection of a patient to said relief system in preparation for a manual and/or automated movement therapy, since the patient is no longer rotated with respect to his body longitudinal axis during installation. Only the legs of the patient have to be bent and the buttock support has to be pushed in from one side of the bed below the buttocks.
  • the recess according to the invention for separating the two support areas advantageously maintains the accessibility of the thigh area, in particular the inside of the thighs, and the groin area for further medical/therapeutic treatment by the medical staff.
  • buttock support offers a high level of support/sitting comfort for the patient during the entire range of movement of the therapeutic movement carried out. Additional details and further advantages of the invention are described below with reference to preferred exemplary embodiments, to which the present invention is not limited, however, and in connection with the attached drawing.
