Abstract

Device for the reduction of scapulo-humeral dislocation consisting 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 surrounding the patient (1 ) With a cut-out for the axillary area (2) and fastening handles at the ends (3) to allow contraction by the personnel assisting the doctor. # Handling boiler: Rigid reinforced liner (7) with an L handle with handle (10) on the arm of the forearm for manipulation by the doctor, with hole in its lower angle (11) for anchoring the traction belt (15) and attachment to the traction belt. # Traction belt: Adjustable band for the doctor (12) that has a fixed anchor ring (14) attached to the manipulation elbow to perform controlled traction on the patient's elbow.

DESCRIPTION DEVICE FOR REDUCTION OF HUMAN-EXCHANGE

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present device falls within the scope of Medicine, specifically in relation to trauma injuries that require treatment by

direct manipulation of the patient to restore joint congruence or

anatomical, such as fractures V dislocations. The device specifically addresses shoulder dislocation or scapula dislocation humeral.

STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE

Currently, the reduction of dislocation of the shoulder joint is performed using various techniques that differ from each other in the position occupied by the patient.

(sitting, in lateral recumbency, prone decubitus, supine recumbency, etc.), as well as in the way in which the doctor performs the manipulation to achieve the anatomical replacement and therefore the reduction of dislocation.

In the use of such techniques, contraction means such as a rolled sheet that holds the patient under the armpit are used while the doctor pulls in the opposite direction by holding the elbow or wrist while performing an external rotation movement.

There are several reduction techniques with variants in their execution, such as the Hippocratic method, the Kocher technique, Spaso technique, Stimson technique, but all of them lack a specific device for its execution.

TECHNICAL PROBLEM

There is great variability in methods and techniques of reduction as well as different degrees of difficulty of these techniques that sometimes require sufficient strength of the doctor to perform them, so it would be very helpful to use a device that facilitates handling both by the doctor as by the people who assist him.

The contraction methods used are technically unsafe, so it is useful to use a technically safe system that allows the methods used to be unified, avoiding improvisation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The spinal-humeral dislocation reduction device (Fig. 4) consists of three parts

independent 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 with the fixing elements a greater control of the manipulation V, therefore a lower risk of associated injuries.

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

A-Resistance band (Fig. 1): it consists of a band of inelastic material between 20 V 25 cm maximum width (1) with a recess in its central part (2) to adapt anatomically to the armpit of the patient V endowed at its ends of triangular-shaped mechanisms with a rigid handle (3) to securely hold by the medical assistant V to perform contraction during the dislocation reduction maneuvers, these handles have a hole in their back (4) for fixed point anchor option. It also has an upper fixing band (S) 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) V covered with flexible material that adapts to the elbow V provided with fasteners in the form of bands surrounding arm V 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 (Flg.3): it consists of a band of inelastic material (12) of variable width (estimated between 10 V 20 cms) with adjustable closing mechanism (13) to adapt to the waist of the doctor V that presents in the center a ring fixed with reinforcement (14) for anchoring the traction belt (15) that also joins with the S-Codera handling device.
