Description

DESCRIPTION

Cabin, with support and shelter function, for delivery and immediate postpartum

Technical sector

The purpose of this utility model application is to register a room, with a support and shelter function, for childbirth and immediate postpartum that incorporates a series of advantages compared to the current devices and supports used for this purpose.

It is known that the elements that we most commonly find in parities or that doulas have to accompany home births are; swimming pools, pilates balls, birthing chairs, birthing tables or lianas. None of these elements allows the mother-to-be a comfortable rest during the often long and exhausting expulsive phase. This model solves this problem by establishing a device where the expectant mother can rest without having to keep her body weight in a relaxing position for her and the fetus, and which also helps during labor.

In this way, the mother-to-be can gain strength by resting for a few moments in a comfortable position for her condition and thus be able to continue moving if she wishes afterwards with new energy.

It also has a position that makes it possible to deliver the baby in the cabin itself. Lastly, it has a warm immediate postpartum area for mother and baby that will facilitate skin-to-skin contact as well as the initiation of breastfeeding.

Background of the invention

There are devices similar to the one described in the present invention that reflect the state of the art related to it. Below are some of them and the reference found for one of them.

Document ES-0277489_A3 refers to a delivery bed device.

In this device, the mother is placed on her back and in a horizontal position, the position does not help the natural childbirth or the labor of the expectant mother, it is only more comfortable for the health personnel, but from the physiological point of view it greatly hinders the Birth.

There are also other devices such as the birthing chair, where the expectant mother sits on a stool with a hole to carry out the delivery. This device does not allow the expectant mother to rest from supporting the weight of her body since the entire trunk is left without a point of support and favors vaginal tears, as well as episiotomies.

Explanation of the invention

This utility model consists of a room, with a support and refuge function, for childbirth and immediate postpartum that, in addition to offering a series of support points that provide a resting position for the expectant mother during the dilation phase and in the expulsive phase, it offers a refuge area for the mother and the baby, once the labor is finished.

The cabin exhibits the shape of a crescent moon, where the upper end has a padded area for head support, in the shape of a circle and with a central hole to allow the mother to breathe during the resting position. Just below, it presents a padded horizontal structure to rest the upper part of the chest and in which two L-shaped support structures for the forearms are integrated. As we go down, the left side of the cabin constitutes a padded wall, to allow the mother to rest on it; On the other hand, the lower part of the crescent has a V-shaped structure to support the quadriceps, knees and calves, which allow a relaxed position for the mother during the dilation phase. This V-shaped structure is collapsible, which makes it possible to leave it in an extended position, establishing a platform that allows the mother to squat on it during delivery.

The intermediate zone of the crescent has a bulge that constitutes a zone of warm recollection for the immediate postpartum period, which will facilitate skin-to-skin contact as well as the initiation of breastfeeding. In this area there is a padded lower part (7) of the wall (12) of the area for immediate postpartum recollection, so that the mother and baby are supported, and facilitate breastfeeding, an area for the mother's legs , a room for the placenta, which allows delayed clamping of the cord, and a wide entrance area in it with a system that allows the installation of a curtain that allows closing the entrance to favor the intimacy of mother and baby and reduce the amount of light that enters, favoring lighting and seclusion conditions more similar to the maternal womb that can make the newborn feel more calm or calm.

The device consists of 4 adjustable areas: the V-shaped area, the horizontal platform and the two forearm supports, in order to adapt to the different body dimensions of each woman.

This device solves the problems of expectant mothers who are in labor of not having a place to rest during the long hours that labor can last, which require a lot of physical, mental and emotional effort and which require moments of relaxation between contractions to that the mother-to-be can regain strength.

It also offers magnificent support for childbirth in a diagonal squatting position with trunk support to facilitate the stability and safety of the expectant mother at the time of delivery, something that does not exist in other current devices because they do not respect the natural position of childbirth.

Lastly, it also provides a unique opportunity for mother and baby to get to know each other in an intimate setting and to help keep the newborn calm, something that does not exist at all today in hospitals or doula accessories.

Preferred embodiment of the invention

By way of example, a case of the practical realization of the cabin is represented, with a support and shelter function, for childbirth and immediate postpartum, object of this utility model.

In view of the figures, the structure of the device can be appreciated, in its support function: in the rest position (Figural) and in the expulsive position (Figure 2) and in its refuge function, position for the immediate postpartum period ( Figure3).

In figures 1 and 3 we can see the passenger compartment (15), which is configured in the shape of a crescent moon, where the upper end has a padded area for head support (5), in the shape of a circle and with a hole central; where the lower part of said padded support area for the head has a padded horizontal structure to rest the upper part of the chest (4), which can be seen in figure 2, and two L-shaped support structures for the shoulders. forearms (2a) and (2b); where the left lateral side of the cabin constitutes a padded wall (3) to facilitate the lateral support of the mother; On the other hand, the lower part of the crescent has a foldable V-shaped structure to support the quadriceps, knees and calves. The intermediate area of the crescent presents a bulge that constitutes an internal hole for the refuge function in the immediate postpartum position, which can be seen in Figure 3.

Figure 2 shows the horizontal platform (6) configured when the V-shaped structure that has a joint at the vertex folds down, allowing the mother to lean on her squats at the moment of delivery.

In Figure 3, the cabin can be seen in its shelter function, in the immediate postpartum position, the intermediate zone of the crescent, presents a bulge that constitutes an internal hole where a padded lower part (7) of the wall (12) of the collection area for immediate postpartum, so that the mother and baby are supported, and facilitate breastfeeding, an area for the mother's legs (8), a room for the placenta (9), and a wide entrance area (10) on the right side of the same, there is also a curtain (13) that allows to promote the privacy of the mother and the baby.

Said invention is capable of industrial application using mainly two materials: roto-molded plastic and aluminum, for the structure (15) and synthetic plastic for the padded areas; the padded side (3) for the side, the padded area for the upper chest (4) and the padded neck rest area for the head.
