Abstract

Device for the reduction of scapulo-humeral dislocation that consists of three parts combined to facilitate and give precision to the doctor in the different techniques of reduction of shoulder dislocation, consists of: Resistance band: band that surrounds the patient (1) with indentation for the axillary area (2) and holding handles on the ends (3) to allow contraction by the staff that assists the doctor. Handling elbow: l-shaped stiffener with rigid reinforcement (7) that has a handle (10) on the forearm branch for manipulation by the doctor, with a hole in its lower angle (11) for anchoring the strap. Traction (15) and attachment to the traction belt. Traction belt: adjustable band for the doctor (12) which incorporates fixed ring (14) anchor to the manipulation elbow to perform controlled traction on the elbow of the patient.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The scapulo-humeral dislocation reduction device (Fig. 4) consists of three independent parts combined with each other whose objective is to facilitate the doctor's maneuvers of reduction of the scapula-humeral dislocation by reducing the effort on the part of the performing physician by providing the elements of fixation a greater control of the manipulation and therefore less risk of associated injuries.

The device consists of three parts that will be referred to hereinafter as A-Resistance Band, B-Handling Coil and C-Traction Belt, which can be combined or used individually according to the needs of the case, each for the use that Here it is detailed.

A-Resistance band (Fig. 1): it consists of a band of inelastic material between 20 and 25 cm maximum width (1) with a recess in its central part (2) to adapt anatomically to the patient's armpit and equipped at its ends of triangular-shaped mechanisms with a rigid handle (3) to hold firmly by the medical assistant staff and perform contraction during dislocation reduction maneuvers, these handles have a hole in their back (4) for option of fixed point anchor. It also has an upper fixing band (5) with adjustable mechanism (6) for placement on the patient's shoulder that prevents the movement or fall of the device during use.

B-Handling elbow (Fig. 2): it consists of a device fixed to the elbow from the middle of the arm to the middle of the L-shaped forearm with rigid reinforcement at its base (7) and covered with flexible material that adapts to the elbow and provided with fasteners in the form of bands surrounding arm and forearm (8) with adjustable mechanism (9). It has on its back a grip handle (10) fixed to the rigid support that allows, once the elbow is placed, to mobilize the entire device in block. The grip handle has at its lower angle a hole (11) for the traction belt anchor (15) (adjustable in length) that also joins with the C-Traction Belt device.

C-Traction belt (Fig. 3): it consists of a band of inelastic material (12) of variable width (estimated between 10 and 20 cms) with adjustable closure mechanism (13) to adapt to the doctor's waist and which has in the center a ring fixed with reinforcement (14) for anchoring the traction belt (15) that also joins with the B-Codera handling device.
