The present invention relates to an orthopedic splint that is used to safely support and fix an affected part such as a fracture or sprain, and more particularly, sewing a stretch band connecting both ends of a knitted elastic fiber constituting the splint. Bonding means such as welding to form a cylindrical cast (circular cast), when coating the moisture-curable polyurethane resin (curable resin), the connecting means is made of a curable resin is not coated, stretch band on one side Instead, the Velcro fasteners or slide fasteners can be selectively installed to facilitate the procedure and to remove the splint very easily and reasonably.

In general, when an arm or leg is broken or sprained, non-surgical treatment is performed by fixing using an orthopedic splint to prevent movement of the injured area.

As a method of acting as an orthopedic splint, conventionally, a method of winding a bandage coated with gypsum on the affected part has been widely used, but such a method causes shrinkage in the process of hardening the gypsum. It can not be effectively supported, it takes a considerable time to bandage the affected area, and because it is not breathable, it causes a lot of sweating and itching when used for a long time, and in particular, treatment of the affected area in the state of hardening after the procedure is completed. When it is finished, there is a problem such as hurting the skin during cutting because it needs to use a separate cutter to remove it.

Therefore, in order to solve the problem of the splint using the gypsum bandage, recently, it is distributed in the packaging state by using elastic fibers impregnated with a curable resin such as a polyester knitted fabric, a glass fiber knitted fabric, or a non-woven fabric such as a moisture-curable polyurethane. In spite of the use, the splint has been widely used by peeling off the wrapping paper so that the internal elastic fibers can be quickly cured at room temperature.

When using a splint as described above, first open the airtight vacuum package, immerse the splint in water to allow the water to penetrate into the hardened core, and then squeeze out the water and wipe the water with a towel. According to the shape of the affected area, close and fix the entire affected part of the splint with high elastic bandage, or if the built-in splint is wound at room temperature with the curable resin impregnated inside the wrapping paper, In the process of hardening by molding to meet the conditions of the affected area, complete curing is possible, after about 3-4 minutes, the curable core is hardened hardened to complete the splint treatment by fixing firmly to prevent the affected area.

Conventional splints as described above are mainly used because of excellent moldability and curability at the time of the procedure as described above, but after the treatment is completed, the splints should be removed, but the methods used so far to remove splints are mainly curable resins. The splint is removed by cutting at a high speed on the surface of the elastic fiber in the impregnated state.

However, when cutting the elastic fiber hardened by the cutter rotating at high speed as described above, dust is generated in the process of cutting the elastic fiber, or high heat is generated in the process of cutting the elastic fiber by the cutter rotating at high speed The problem was that the skin burned.

In addition, when the rotary cutter is to cut the elastic fiber is too deep, causing a lot of problems such as hurt the skin with the elastic fiber.

This problem appears to be a very serious problem with cylindrical casts.

In recent years, as a means for solving the above problems, a separate incision having a thickness thinner than the thickness of the existing splint is provided on one side of the splint in the longitudinal direction. A method of cutting and removing is used as a knife or the like.

In this case, however, the basic purpose is to easily incise the thin part, but in fact, since the procedure is completed with the curable resin impregnated in the entire splint, the hardening is made as time passes after the procedure. Even if the site is difficult to cut, it is difficult to remove as a cutting tool such as scissors or a knife.

That is, even though only a specific incision is made thinner than the thickness of the entire splint, the curable resin is cured in a uniformly coated or coated state as a whole. When cutting as a cutting tool, not only is it difficult to cut, but also it is not easy to cut, so the efficiency of the procedure is greatly reduced, and many problems such as damage to the skin in the process of removing splint from the affected part after the treatment are completed. As a result, fundamental solutions are being sought for improvement.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the problems of the conventional splint as described above, the present invention is performed using an orthopedic splint used in the affected area such as fractures or sprains, removed after treatment The present invention is characterized in that it can be easily removed when the bar is sewn in the longitudinal direction of a stretch band made of synthetic rubber such as neoprene at one end of the elastic fiber impregnated with a curable resin on the surface in the approximately facing state Interconnection as a joining means such as crimping, and by connecting a separate coupling means so that the other side can be easily opened, put the inlet and the outlet at both ends to put the affected part through the inlet to exit through the outlet To be treated in the affected areas such as fractures or sprains,

The coupling means of the opposite side to which the elastic band of the elastic fiber is bonded may be made of the same elastic band,

Coupling means on the opposite side of the elastic band bonded to the elastic fiber may adopt a Velcro fastener,

Coupling means on the opposite side of the elastic band bonded to the elastic fiber may adopt a slide fastener,

On the other hand, the elastic band or the coupling means is covered with an airtight cover such as vinyl paper to prevent the impregnation in the portion covered by the cover when impregnated with the curable resin to ensure ease of treatment when performing the affected part and In addition, there is a feature that makes it easy to remove when removed after treatment.

Hereinafter will be described with reference to the drawings the configuration features, methods and removal methods for achieving the above object of the present invention.

The present invention is characterized in that the orthopedic splint 10 used for the injured affected part is easily treated, and can be easily removed when removing it after treatment in a hardened state.

The present invention is in the approximately facing state, one end of the elastic fiber 11 impregnated with the curable resin 12 on the surface, the joining means such as sewing or crimping the elastic band 20 made of synthetic rubber such as neoprene in the longitudinal direction (22) and the inlet portion 13 and the outlet portion 14 at both ends by connecting a separate coupling means 21 so as to be easily connected to each other, and easily open to the other side through the inlet portion (13) Put it so that it can be pulled out through the outlet 14 to be treated in the affected areas such as fractures or sprains, and when the splint 10 is removed after treatment, the elastic band 20 or the coupling means 21 is removed. Incision with scissors or knife to make it easy to remove.

The coupling means 21 on the opposite side to which the elastic band 20 of the elastic fiber 11 is bonded may be made of the same elastic band 20 so as to be treated at the affected part, and upon removal of the splint 10 after treatment. The elastic band 20 or the coupling means 21 is configured to be easily removed by cutting with scissors or a knife.

The coupling means 21 on the opposite side to which the elastic band 20 of the elastic fiber 11 is bonded is made of a velcro fastener 24 to be treated in the affected area, and after removal of the splint 10 after treatment. There is a pair of male and female velcro fasteners (24) are configured to be easily removed from each other.

The coupling means 21 of the opposite side to which the elastic band 20 of the elastic fiber 11 is bonded, can be made of a slide fastener 25 to be treated in the affected area, and upon removal of the splint 10 after treatment. It is configured to be easily removed by opening the slide fastener 25 that is the coupling means 21 in a general manner.

On the other hand, the elastic band 20 or the coupling means 21 is covered with an airtight cover 23, such as vinyl paper, impregnated in the portion covered by the cover 23 during impregnation of the curable resin 12 When the treatment to the affected area to ensure the ease of treatment and to ensure the treatment on the affected area, and after removal of the splint 10 after treatment, the elastic band 20 or coupling means 21, scissors, knife, Or it can be easily removed by opening it by hand.

The present invention can be configured as described above, using the orthopedic splint (10) used in the affected area, such as fracture or sprain, can be easily removed when removing it after treatment The present invention is characterized in that the present invention sewing the elastic band 20 made of synthetic rubber such as neoprene at one end of the elastic fiber 11 impregnated with the curable resin 12 on the surface in a substantially facing state B as a joining means 22 such as crimping or the like, and connects a separate coupling means 21 to be easily opened on the other side, and has an inlet 13 and an outlet 14 at both ends. 13) to insert the affected part through the outlet 14 to allow it to escape to the outside to ensure the procedure to the fracture or sprain, etc. to ensure the formability during the procedure as well as to simply remove the incision after treatment To be able to Therefore, anyone can easily remove it.

Hereinafter, the characteristics of the use method and the function according to the above-described configuration of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

When performing treatment on the affected part using the present invention, when the splint 10 is first pushed into the affected part using the inlet part 13 in the surgical part, the elastic fiber 11 is pushed back by its own elasticity. Will come out through the part (14).

At this time, in the present invention for the sake of convenience in the drawing shown in the leg portion, the function is the same depending on the part of the body, such as the arm or chest, but the shape is completely different, for example, in the case of the arm gripping (把持) or For convenience, a structure such as drilling a separate hole so that the thumb is exposed will be changed, and in particular, the treatment method using the splint 10 (mainly divided into semi-gibbs and tub-gibs, in the present invention, the same structure as a whole Considering it as a general splint procedure, the shape and structure may vary slightly depending on the splint (10) made of a built-in elastic fiber (11) impregnated with a curable resin (12) between the inner and outer skin) In this case, the splint 10 may be impregnated with the hardenable resin 12 during packaging from the beginning in the elastic fiber 11 itself. , That can be impregnated by immersing the curable resin 12 in a state stripped the wrapping paper, it is also considered as the same process.

When performing the present invention, as described above, if you first push the affected part through the inlet portion 13 as necessary, the elasticity of the elastic fibers 11 with their own elasticity of the coupling means 21 respectively attached to both ends Due to the phosphorus elasticity, the affected part that is easily required to be pushed in is exposed through the outlet portion 14.

When the splint 10 is squeezed into the affected area as described above, the practitioner touches the elastic fiber 11 before the curable resin 12 is completely cured while the curable resin 12 is hardened and is easily molded according to the conditions of the affected part. As the procedure is completed, the function of this splint 10 is general.

In the present invention, the procedure is completed as the procedure is completed in the same manner as described above and the elastic fiber 11 itself is cured by the curable resin 12, the procedure is completed, and after treatment of the affected area is removed Since the elastic band 20 or the joining means 22 is made of synthetic rubber such as neoprene, it is easily removed when it is cut using a cutting tool such as scissors or a knife.

Since the elastic band 20 or the coupling means 21 is made of synthetic rubber having excellent elasticity, etc., when the procedure is performed by its own elasticity, the elastic band 20 or the coupling means 21 has excellent adhesion to the skin due to its own elasticity and there is no foreign body feeling. In addition, the excellent fit, can increase the treatment effect of the affected area.

On the other hand, the present invention is the same as the above-mentioned when the coupling means 21 of the elastic band 11 of the elastic fiber 11 is bonded to the same elastic band 20 when the treatment is completed after the procedure as described above The elastic band 20 can be removed as a cutting tool such as scissors or a knife. The elastic band 20 is also excellent in elasticity and can be easily performed according to the conditions of the affected part.

The coupling means 21 on the opposite side to which the elastic band 20 of the elastic fiber 11 is bonded is adopted when the Velcro fastener 24 is used to cut the elastic band 20 on one side with a cutting tool such as scissors or a knife. Although it may be cut, the elastic band 20 is left intact, and the pair of female and male pairs of Velcro fasteners 24 facing each other in a general manner are separated from each other by the male and female pairs to facilitate the splint 10, which is performed on the affected part. Of course, it can be separated.

In this case, if the affected part becomes weaker (thinner) due to the lack of exercise, etc. as time passes after the procedure, the pair of female and male Velcro fasteners 24 is removed, pulled back together, and easily attached to each other. Therefore, the convenience of use can be achieved, and in particular, the Velcro fastener 24 has an advantage of facilitating removal after the procedure is completed, but it pushes the affected part through the inlet 13 and the outlet 14 during the procedure. If the velcro fastener 24 is pulled and attached to each other in a state in which the affected part is not covered, the procedure may be completed, and thus the convenience of the procedure may be expected.

When the coupling means 21 on the opposite side to which the elastic band 20 of the elastic fiber 11 is bonded, adopts the slide fastener 25, one side of the elastic band 20 after the completion of treatment is a scissors or a knife or the like. It can be cut with a cutting tool, but the elastic band 20 is left as it is, it is natural that the splint (10) can be easily separated from the splints 10 to the affected area by separating the slide fasteners 25 in a general manner.

In this case, there is also an advantage of facilitating removal after the completion of the procedure, but in the same manner as the function of the Velcro fastener 24 described above, the affected part is not a method of pushing the affected part through the inlet part 13 and the outlet part 14 during the procedure. When the slide fastener 25 is fastened in a wrapped state, the procedure is completed, and thus additional effects such as the convenience of the procedure can be expected.

On the other hand, the elastic band 20 or the coupling means 21 is covered with an airtight cover 23, such as vinyl paper to prevent the impregnation in the portion covered by the cover 23 during the impregnation of the curable resin 12 When the treatment to the affected area to ensure the ease of treatment, and when the removal of the splint 10 after treatment, tearing off the cover 23 surrounding the elastic band 20 or the coupling means 21 or It is also possible to use a cutting tool such as scissors or a knife in the cut state, the Velcro fastener 24, which is the coupling means 21, can be removed by separating a pair of male and female by a conventional method, and slide fasteners. (25) It is also configured to be removed by separating in the same way as general method.

As described above, when the cured resin 12 impregnated in the elastic fiber 11 of the conventional splint 10 (including a semi-gibbs and a tub cast) is cured when the splint 10 is removed after treatment. By using a cutting tool such as scissors or a knife by using the elastic band 20 and the coupling means 21 for connecting the elastic fiber 11 can be easily removed from the affected part.

The present invention facilitates the removal after the treatment while the procedure is easy to separate or combine using the Velcro fastener 24 or the slide fastener 25 without using a cutting tool such as scissors or a knife in some cases. It is also possible to expect such effects, and on the other hand, the elastic band 20 and the coupling means 21, while the cover paper 23, such as plastic paper overlaid on the elastic band 20 and the coupling means 21 portion The curable resin 12 may not be impregnated and then hardened to separate the same and thus may be easily removed.

As described above, the present invention is characterized in that the orthopedic splint 10 is used to be easily removed after treatment, and the present invention has a curable resin (12) on the surface in a substantially facing state. ), One end of the elastic band 11 impregnated elastic fiber 11, the elastic band 20 made of synthetic rubber, such as neoprene, interconnected as a joining means 22 such as sewing or pressing in the longitudinal direction, so that the other side can be easily opened By connecting separate coupling means 21 to put the inlet portion 13 and the outlet portion 14 at both ends to put the affected part through the inlet portion 13 to the procedure to exit out through the outlet portion 14 After the treatment is completed, the coupling means 21 of the hardened splint 10 can be easily removed by simply cutting or opening the splint 10, and the expected value of the various orthopedic splints 10 is excellent. .
