Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a joint fixation support device that fixes and protects human joints such as elbows that have suffered damage such as fractures, dislocations, swelling, and trauma.

Conventional joint fixation support devices include those in which a sponge is wrapped around the joint (affected area) to protect the affected area from external impacts, and the joint is fixed by tightly tying wire from the outside of the sponge; A sponge layer is layered on the inner circumferential wall side of an abutting plate having a substantially semicircular cross section which is bent at a predetermined angle so as to be able to abut on the joints of the human body. In some cases, a bandage is wrapped around the outside of the joint to secure it in place, but in the former case, it is difficult to completely fix the joint, or if the fixation is prolonged, the binding force of the wire can cause the sponge to become layered. In the latter case, the fixed angle of the joint cannot be changed, and the fixed angle of the joint cannot be changed freely depending on the symptoms and condition of the affected part. It had various drawbacks.

In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention has been developed to provide a joint fixation support device having a double structure of a protective layer made of a flexible material and a supporting layer made of a material having a predetermined strength. to form a pair of notches facing each other, and
A joint fixation support device that has a plurality of holes drilled at predetermined intervals on both sides of the pair of notches so that protrusions formed on the surface of the hooking member can be fitted into the band-like holes. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. 1 is a main body of a joint fixation support device according to the present invention, and the main body 1 is made of sponge. It has a double structure with a protective member layer 2 that is hollow and a support member layer 3 made of nylon, and is formed into a substantially rectangular plate shape.

4.4' are a pair of notches formed oppositely over a predetermined width from both ends of the central part of the main body 1 in the longitudinal direction, and 5,5'
. . . are holes drilled in the nylon layer 3, and the holes 5
, 5', . . . are formed in one row at predetermined intervals in both directions of the pair of notches 4, 4'.

Next, reference numeral 6 denotes a hanging member made of nylon and formed into a band shape, and the holes 5, 5', . . .
Projecting pieces 7, 7', which have a predetermined shape that can be fitted into the holes 5, 5', and so on, are protruded at the same spacing as the holes 5, 5', and so on.

The protective member layer 3 is not limited to sponge acid as long as it can softly protect the affected area, and the support member layer 3 is limited to nylon as long as it has enough strength to fix the joint. Not done.

Next, the usage state of the joint fixation support device according to the present invention will be explained. First, the protection member layer 2 of the main body 1 is brought into contact with the damaged human joint part 8, and then the main body 1
When both sides are bent, the main body 1 is easily bent along the notches 4, 4', so when bent at a predetermined angle, the projecting pieces 7, 7'... on the surface of the hooking member 6 are aligned with the notches 4, 4.
. . , into predetermined holes 5, 5'... on both sides of the hole.

In this way, the main body 1 is fixed in a bent shape at a predetermined angle by the latching member 6, so if a bandage or the like is wrapped around the outside of the main body 1, the joint part 8 will come into contact with the protective layer 2, and will be protected from external shocks, etc. In addition to being protected, any attempt to expand or contract the joint 8 is restricted by the main body 1, and complete fixation and protection of the joint 8 is threatened.

Furthermore, the main body 1 can be fixed at any angle by changing the holes 5, 5' into which the projections 7, 7'... of the hooking member 6 are fitted, and the fixing angle can be changed very easily. The fixing angle of the joint 8 can be easily and freely changed depending on the symptoms and condition of the affected area.

In short, since the present invention is constructed as described above, the joints can be completely fixed and protected, and the angle at which the joints are fixed can be easily and freely changed, resulting in great practical effects.
