Abstract

[PROBLEMS] To reduce the work of caregivers and medical workers to prevent wounds.
SOLUTION: For a bedridden patient, the pressure mat is not a single press for the purpose of wound prevention and sore treatment, but as a mat of 10 to 30 blocks. (Infusion) By receiving pressurization from the tube from a programmed controller. You can always receive a change in body weight.

Description

The present invention relates to a bedding mat for preventing bedridden elderly people and bedridden patients from being wounded.

note

A somatic wound is a disease in which the body movement cannot be performed by itself and the venous pressure is reduced by weighting to the same site due to its own weight, resulting in skin ulcer and necrosis of subcutaneous adipose tissue as a result of epidermal blood flow failure)

The structure of mats for bedridden patients (gas or liquid such as air or nitrogen) has a single injection path and does not have an independent insertion tube in each air chamber. Because of the constant area, the nurse or attendant changed the position of the body every 3 hours at the medical site. Home treatment has become a daily routine for patients

Problems that the device tries to solve

  The burden on nurses or their attendants to change their positions every 3 hours is very heavy, and especially for bedridden patients with heavy weights, it is extremely difficult to determine how to apply weight to the affected area (sores) over time. Reduce it. Whether to reduce the burden on caregivers. , As an issue

Means for the Invention to Solve

Even if the nurse does not change positions on a regular basis, it is an electronically programmed segmented block. By applying pressure with a pressure pump, it is possible to change the pressure applied to the body surface over time, resulting in the patient himself. It also reduces the burden on caregivers

Effect of device

As mentioned above, mat. The air chamber (similar to liquid injection) is subdivided and has an individual injection path to change the injection pressure for each block. Wound prevention, automatic body movement pressurization mat equipped with electronic control with pre-programmed pressurization and decompression of each block can reduce the burden on caregivers

Medical workers are able to cure the affected area quickly by setting the pressure on the affected area to a minimum and applying random pressure to the healthy skin. Caregiver time restrictions are significantly reduced

Is a drawing connecting the mat body, pressurizing tube, pressurizing compressor and program controller.

Claims (1)

For a bedridden patient mat (gas or liquid such as air, nitrogen, etc.), a programmed electronically controlled pressure pump characterized by an independent subdivision of the air chamber and a separate injection path Wound prevention, automatic body movement pressurization mat provided.
