Description

  The present invention relates to a posture holder for holding the posture of a subject on an operating table or the like.

  Conventionally, a posture holder is used to hold a subject in a fixed posture on a table such as an operating table. Several body posture holders are fixed to a frame provided around the table, and the mat portion of each body posture holder is pressed against the body of the subject to hold the subject in a fixed posture on the table. Then, an operator or the like performs examination, diagnosis, surgery, and the like.

  However, since the conventional body position holder is formed by fixing a mat portion on a substrate made of a metal plate, for example, when performing an operation on a table while performing X-ray transmission imaging, a clear image is obtained. There is a problem that it is difficult to obtain. Moreover, since the body posture holder provided with the conventional metal board | substrate is heavy, there exists a problem that handling is troublesome.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a body posture holder that can solve the above-mentioned problems.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention according to claim 1 is that the mat portion (3) is fixed on the substrate (2), and the substrate (2) is connected to the table (7) via the support device (4). In the body posture holder, the body posture holder in which the substrate (2) and the mat portion (3) are formed of an X-ray transmitting material is employed.

  The invention according to claim 2 employs a body posture holder in which the support device (4) is formed of an X-ray transmitting material in the body posture holder according to claim 1.

  The invention according to claim 3 employs a body posture holder in which the mat portion (3) is attached to the substrate (2) via a hook-and-loop fastener in the body posture holder according to claim 1.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, in the body position holder in which the mat portion (3) is fixed on the substrate (2) and the substrate (2) is connected to the table (7) via the support device (4). Since the substrate (2) and the mat portion (3) are formed of an X-ray transmitting material, for example, when performing an operation on the table (7) while performing X-ray transmission imaging of the subject (A), it is clear. Appropriate images can be obtained and appropriate surgery, treatment, etc. can be performed. Further, for example, by using a synthetic resin as the X-ray transmitting material, it is possible to easily attach the body position holder to the table (7) by reducing the weight.

  According to the invention of claim 2, in the body posture holder of claim 1, since the support device (4) is formed of an X-ray transmitting material, a clearer image can be obtained.

  According to the invention according to claim 3, in the body posture holder according to claim 1, since the mat portion (3) is attached to the substrate (2) via the surface fastener, the X-ray can be transmitted. Of course, the mat portion (3) can be easily attached to and detached from the substrate (2).

  The best mode for carrying out the invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the body position holder 1 includes a substrate 2, a mat portion 3 fixed on the substrate 2, and a support device 4 attached to the substrate 2.

  The board | substrate 2 is comprised as a board of desired shapes, such as a polygon, a circle | round | yen, and an ellipse, and is made from the material excellent in X-ray permeability. As the X-ray transmitting material, a single material such as rubber or synthetic resin, or a composite material in which synthetic resin or the like is reinforced with carbon fiber or the like can be used.

  The mat portion 3 is obtained by molding urethane rubber or the like having cushioning properties into a block shape, for example, and is fixed on the substrate 2 with screws formed of an X-ray transmitting material, or is fixed with an adhesive or the like. The mat portion 3 as a whole is also formed of a material having X-ray transparency. The mat portion 3 is detachably attached to the substrate 2 via a surface fastener, for example.

  The support device 4 can be composed of a single bar, but is desirably configured by connecting a plurality of bar members so that the position and posture of the mat portion 3 can be adjusted as appropriate. Is done. In this embodiment, the first, second, and third rod members 4a, 4b, and 4c are formed, and the intermediate second rod member 4b is bent at a substantially right angle. Further, as the bar members 4a, 4b, 4c, round bars are used in this embodiment, but square bars, elongated plate materials, etc. can also be used.

  The rod members 4a, 4b, and 4c are connected to each other via the couplers 5 and 6 so that their positions and postures can be changed, and the end of the first rod member 4a is fixed to the substrate 2. Although these connecting tools 5 and 6 have a known structure and will not be described in detail, the connecting tool 5 that connects the first bar member 4a and the second bar member 4b includes a universal joint. The inclination angle of the first bar member 4a with respect to the second bar member 4b can be freely changed by turning the knob 5a and loosening a screw (not shown). In addition, the connecting tool 6 for connecting the second bar member 4b and the third bar member 4c turns the knob 6a to loosen a screw (not shown), thereby releasing the third bar member 4c from the second bar member 4b. The protruding length can be adjusted and the angle of the second bar member 4b can be changed around the third bar member 4c.

  Desirably, the rod members 4a, 4b, and 4c and the couplers 5 and 6 in the support device 4 are also formed of the above-described material having excellent X-ray transparency.

  Next, the operation of the body posture holder having the above configuration will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, fixing tools 8 and 9 having a configuration similar to the connecting tools 5 and 6 are fixed to a frame 7a such as a side rail of a table 7 such as an operating table in a desired arrangement.

  Next, various body posture holders 1, 1 a, 1 b, 1 c are prepared, and the rod member 4 c at the end of the support device 4 in each body posture holder 1, 1 a, 1 b, 1 c is connected to each fixture 8, 9.

  Each of the body position holders 1, 1 a, 1 b, 1 c is operated with the connecting members 5, 6 and the fixtures 8, 9, each mat part 3 is applied to each part of the body of the subject A, and the subject A is placed on the table Hold on a constant posture on 7.

  Thereby, an appropriate test | inspection, diagnosis, surgery, etc. can be performed with respect to the subject A.

  Further, when the operator or the like performs examination, diagnosis, surgery, or the like on the subject A on the table 7, the X-ray irradiation head 10 is brought close to the subject A and the body posture holders 1, 1a, 1b, 1c. Even if X-rays are irradiated from above, the body position holders 1, 1a, 1b, and 1c transmit X-rays, so that an appropriate and clear image of the region of interest of the subject A can be obtained.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the posture holder is used for the subject in the lateral position is described. The present invention can also be applied to the case where the body posture holder is used for subjects of various other positions such as a sitting position.

It is an elevation view which shows the usage example of the body posture holder based on this invention. It is an elevation view of an example of the body posture holder according to the present invention.
