Abstract

The invention relates to an assembly of two splints intended for picking up and transporting casualties with injuries to the vertebral column. The first, consisting of a planar and rigid surface 1, of a mattress 2, of a cushion 3, of a system 4 for immobilising the head, of four holding straps 5-6-7-8 and of four handles 9 used for transporting. The second, consisting of a rigid plate 1' from which there is cut out the head passage, of two shoulder parts 2', of a strap 3' for attachment to the stretcher, of a pulley 4' sending the traction back onto the side where there is fixed a screw for adjusting the traction 5' connected to a dynamometer 6'.

Description

La présente invention concerne un ensemble de deux attelles pour les traumatismes vertébro-medulaires, l'une à la phase initiale ramassage et évacuation du blesse et l'autre a la phase secondaire (transport du blessé en extension contrôlée). The present invention relates to a set of two splints for vertebral-medial trauma, one at the initial phase of collection and evacuation of the wounded and the other at the secondary phase (transport of the injured in controlled extension).

Ca système d'attelle d'urgence représenté sur le croquis numero est entièrement nouveau et s'adapte instantanement a la morphologie au sujet, ce qui apporte une grande securité dans le ramassage et l'imobilisation des accidentes de la colonne vertebrale, d'autant plus que dès les premières minutes, l'avenir vital et tonctionnel de l'accidenté peut entre compromis par une manipulation intempestive. The emergency splint system shown in the number sketch is completely new and instantly adapts to the subject's morphology, which provides great safety in picking up and immobilizing spine accidents, all the more more than from the first minutes, the vital and tonctional future of the accident victim can be compromised by untimely manipulation.

Dans un deuxième temps lors d'une évacuation secondaire (transfert inter- hospitalier par voiture ou hélicoptere), apres une reduction clinique du rachis cervical A l'aide d'un étrier, la deuxième attelle représentée sur le croquis numéro 2 apporte la sécurise totale du blesse gracie au systeme entierement nouveau decrit ci-dessous. Secondly during a secondary evacuation (inter-hospital transfer by car or helicopter), after a clinical reduction of the cervical spine Using a stirrup, the second splint represented on sketch number 2 provides total security injured thanks to the entirely new system described below.

Description de l'attelle d'urgence destinée au ramasage et a l'evacuation primaire du blesse croquis numéro 19 :
Elle est constituee d'une surface plane et rigide de 100 x 44 centimètres (1).Description of the emergency splint for the collection and primary evacuation of the wounded sketch number 19:
It consists of a flat and rigid surface of 100 x 44 centimeters (1).

sur cette surface est fixe un matelas mousse (2) représentant la silhouette numaine et permettant la répartition nomogene des points de pression. Un coussin, situe au niveau de la région lombaire k3 > réglable longitudinalement1 permet le respect de la lordonne pnysiologique épaisseur du cous sin t 15 centimetres environ). on this surface is fixed a foam mattress (2) representing the Numanian silhouette and allowing the nomogenic distribution of the pressure points. A cushion, located at the level of the lumbar region k3> adjustable longitudinally1 allows the respect of the physiological lordonne thickness of the neck sin t 15 cm approximately).

Cette attelle est munie d1un système d'immobilisation de la tête (4) en légère hypertension constituite de deux pièces en équerre rapportees au niveau du cou et en opposition et réglables en tous sens. This splint is fitted with a head immobilization system (4) in slight hypertension consisting of two angled pieces attached to the neck and in opposition and adjustable in all directions.

Elle comporte en outre, quatre sangles qui assurent 1' immobilisation da blesse sur le support
1 sangle frontale (5)
1 sangle au niveau de l'épaule droite (6)
1 sangle au niveau de l'eapule gauche (7)
I sangle au niveau du bassin (8)
Enfin, quatre poignées servent au transport (9J. It further comprises four straps which ensure the immobilization of injuries on the support.
1 front strap (5)
1 strap at the right shoulder (6)
1 strap at the left shoulder (7)
I strap at the pelvis (8)
Finally, four handles are used for transport (9J.

L'utilisation oe cette attelle de permière urgence assure l'obtention d'un maintien partait ae la tette et de l'axe rachilien, a'autant plus qu'elle est adaptable à la morphologie au sujet tout en permettant, si cela est nécessaire, une mise en position de sécurite sur le côte du blessé. The use oe this first emergency splint ensures obtaining a maintenance started at the head and the spinal axis, especially since it is adaptable to the morphology of the subject while allowing, if necessary , a safe position on the side of the injured.

De plus, ce système laisse le thorax dégagé en vue d'une éventuelle assistance respiratoire. In addition, this system leaves the chest clear for possible respiratory assistance.

nescription de l'attelle destinée au transfert d'un rachis cervical en extension contrôles (croquis muaero L1 :
Elle est constitue d'une plaque rigide de 46 x 42 centimeures (1') dans laquelle est decoupé le passage de la tete du blessé,
elle comporte deux épaulières (2') de 10 centimetres cie haut qui prennent appui sur les épaules du blessé et une sangle (3') qui fixe l'attelle sur le brancard de transport.description of the splint intended for the transfer of a cervical spine in control extension (sketch muaero L1:
It consists of a rigid plate 46 x 42 centimeters (1 ') in which is cut the passage of the head of the injured,
it has two shoulder pads (2 ') of 10 cm high which are supported on the injured person's shoulders and a strap (3') which fixes the splint on the transport stretcher.

Dans l'axe de la traction, une poulie (4') renvoie la traction à 90 sur le côté ce l'attelle où est tirée une vis de réglage cie traction (5J. In the axis of the traction, a pulley (4 ') returns the traction to 90 on the side of the splint where a traction adjustment screw (5J.

Entre la poulie de renvoi et la vis de réglages est intercalé un dynamomètre (6') qui sert à doser, en kilos, la traction desirée. Between the return pulley and the adjustment screw is inserted a dynamometer (6 ') which is used to measure, in kilos, the desired traction.

Cette attelle est particulièrement utile au transport, par voiture ou helicoptere, des lésions du rachis cervical aeJà reduites cliniquement au moyen d'un étrier ou d'une mentonniere. This splint is particularly useful for transporting, by car or helicopter, lesions of the cervical spine aeJà clinically reduced by means of a stirrup or a chin strap.
