The present invention relates to an arm restraint with a massage, and more particularly, restricts the movement of the patient's forearm through the forearm joint surrounding the forearm of the patient, and a hole formed in the forearm joint and an air injection part coupled to the hole Air is introduced into the forearm joint through the forearm joint to massage the patient's forearm to prevent bedsores, and through the opening of the zipper formed in the forearm joint, intravenous injection can be performed even while the forearm is fixed through the restraint. .

Due to the aging of the population, senile diseases are on the rise. In particular, dementia is a disease that the elderly fear most. The prevalence rate of dementia among the total elderly over 65 years of age is increasing rapidly, and the number of dementia patients in 2012 is reported to increase by 2.4 times from 540,000 to 1.27 million by 2030.

Dementia patients show delusions, hallucinations, aggression, depression, anxiety, indifference, de-inhibition, irritability, loitering, and hostility, and these symptoms often lead to dangerous situations. In addition, physical restraints are being used for dementia patients as a method to cope with problem behaviors such as prevention of falls, obstruction of treatment such as nutrition tubes, and intravenous injections, and unexpected physical attacks among patients. It is reported that 91.9% of nursing hospitals and nursing facilities use physical restraints.

Most of the dementia patients admitted to the hospital are bedridden, and the restraints currently used in hospitals are impersonal and violent to the family and patients in the form of fixing their wrists to the bed with a hard cloth.

1 shows an example of the use of a conventional restraint, which is used in a form in which restraints 2 are installed at each end of the arm 3 and the leg 4 of a dementia patient 10.

Most of these existing restraints are made of thick fabric in the hospital itself, and when used for a long period of time, it is difficult to use joints due to construction of the arm, and swelling or skin damage is caused by interfering with the blood circulation of the arm. Although several measures have been attempted to improve this, the existing problems have not been supplemented.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a body restraint zone that provides a massage to protect the skin, protects the stability of patients with dementia and the elderly with severe dementia, improves blood circulation, and protects the skin.

The restraint table according to the present invention includes a forearm fastening part 100, a hole part 200, an air injection part 300, and a zipper part 400.

The forearm fastening part 100 serves to fix the patient's arm 3. It is preferable that the forearm fastening part 100 has a shape that is curved to surround the forearm part 30 of the patient. As a result, it is possible to lower the intensity of the pressure felt by the patient.

At this time, it is preferable that the front and rear portions of the forearm fastening portion 100 have an open shape. In particular, the front of the forearm fastening part 100 is opened so that the hand 31 may be exposed to the outside, and thus, the patient can give an appropriate sense of openness to lower the intensity of the pressure felt by the patient. In addition, peripheral blood circulation can be checked.

In addition, the forearm fastening part 100 includes a forearm fastening part body 110 and a gauze part 120. 3, the gauze part 120 is coupled along the inner side of the forearm fastening part main body 110, and is formed of a cotton material. It is preferable that it is a microfiber cotton material optimized for the skin of bedridden patients and elderly patients. For this reason, there is an advantage of being able to protect the patient's skin even under long-term pressure.

The hole part 200 is formed along the outer surface of the forearm fastening part 100. In addition, a plurality of pieces are formed, and formed to penetrate the forearm fastening portion 100. For this reason, when the air introduced through the air injection unit 300 to be described later passes through the hole 200, the air is supplied to the forearm 30 of the patient to generate an air massage effect.

The air injection part 300 is coupled to the outer surface of the forearm fastening part 100. In more detail, it is formed to cover the hole portion 200 formed in the forearm fastening portion 100.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A' of FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a simplified view of the configuration of the air injection unit 300. Hereinafter, the configuration and effect of the air injection unit 300 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

The air injection unit 300 includes an air cap unit 310, an injection pipe unit 320, a supply unit 330, and an adjustment unit 340.

The air cap part 310 abuts the outer surface of the forearm fastening part 100 and covers the hole part 200. The air cap part 310 has a so-called'funnel' shape, and is preferably in close contact with the forearm fastening part 100 so that air does not flow out of the air cap part 310.

The air cap part 310 covers at least one hole part 200 to supply air to the hole part 200 covered by the air cap part 310. For this reason, air is introduced into the lower part of the forearm fastening part 100 through the hole part 200.

At this time, the air cap portion 310 is preferably coupled to the forearm fastening portion 100 to be detachable. When the intravenous injection site is different, there is an advantage of allowing the air cap unit 310 to be coupled by avoiding the corresponding site.

The injection pipe part 320 is connected to the air cap part 310. One end of the injection pipe part 320 is connected to the air cap part 310, and the other end of the injection pipe part 320 is connected to the supply part 330. It serves as a flow path for transferring the air generated from the supply unit 330 to the air cap unit 310.

At this time, the injection pipe part 320 is preferably made of a flexible material capable of bending. For this reason, there is an advantage that the installation position of the air injection unit 300 can be freely adjusted.

The supply unit 330 generates air and supplies air to the injection pipe unit 320. As a general device for generating air, a detailed description thereof will be omitted since it is a known technology. It is not limited to a specific form.

In this case, it is preferable that the supply unit 330 is not capable of supplying air having a constant temperature, but can supply air having various temperatures. For example, it is desirable to be able to supply cold air and warm air. For this reason, in the summer, the air massage can be performed by supplying cold air, and in the winter, the air massage can be performed by supplying warm air, thereby providing a pleasant feeling to the patient.

The control unit 340 is connected to the supply unit 330 and controls the amount of air introduced into the injection pipe unit 320.

At this time, the control unit 340 is preferably capable of supplying the air to the injection pipe unit 320 by setting the temperature of the air supplied by the supply unit 330, and for this purpose, it is preferable that a controller not shown is provided.

In addition, it is preferable that a timer, not shown, is formed in the controller, so that the amount of incoming air can be adjusted according to time. For this reason, there is an advantage of being able to adjust the amount of air through a timer even when the operator does not see the patient directly.

The zipper part 400 is formed in the forearm fastening part 100, and is preferably formed to extend along the forearm fastening part 100 in the longitudinal direction.

At this time, it is preferable that the zipper part 400 is provided in a pair and spaced apart at a predetermined interval in the width direction.

Due to this structure, when the operator wants to check a specific forearm 30 part, the zipper part 400 can be opened by selecting any one zipper part 400 in the vicinity where the corresponding part is located, and the other part Has the advantage of being able to check only that part in a fixed state.

Through this, the operator has the advantage of being able to check the skin condition or to place an intravenous injection in the corresponding part.

In FIG. 2, as an example, a pair of zipper parts 400 is divided into a first zipper part 410 and a second zipper part 420, and the first zipper part 410 is a first zipper part 411 and a first zipper part. The zipper housing 412 is provided, and the second zipper part 420 is configured to obtain the second zipper 421 and the second zipper housing 422.

The operator may open all of the pair of zipper parts 400 to make it in a detachable form, and may open only one of the zipper parts 400. Due to the structure of the pair of zippers 400, there is an advantage in that the operator's work freedom is increased and work efficiency is increased.

At this time, it is preferable that the protection part 500 is coupled to the lower part of the zipper part 400, more specifically, the lower part of the first zipper part 411 and the second zipper part 421.

5 is an enlarged view of the cross section of the restraint zone to which the protection part 500 is coupled. Hereinafter, the protection part 500 will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

The protection part 500 is formed to extend in the longitudinal direction, and preferably has a predetermined thickness. In addition, it is preferably formed of a cotton material.

The first zipper 411 and the second zipper 421 are generally made of metal, and if they come into contact with the patient's skin for a long time, there is a possibility that the patient's skin may be damaged. In particular, in the case of the restraint zone, since the first zipper teeth 411 and the second zipper teeth 421 are pressed more strongly, there is a problem that the degree of damage increases.

However, according to the present invention, the first zipper 411 and the second zipper 421 and the patient's skin do not directly contact the patient's skin, but the protective part 500 made of a soft cotton material is brought into contact with the patient's skin, so that it can be suppressed for a long time. Nevertheless, there is an advantage of reducing the degree of damage to the patient's skin.

Examine the process of using the restraints according to the present invention by the operator.

First, the operator wraps the forearm fastening part 100 around the forearm part 30 of the patient and fixes it. Thereafter, the air cap part 310 is coupled to the hole part 200, and air is supplied to the air cap part 310 through the supply part 330.

The air supplied to the air cap portion 310 penetrates through the hole portion 200 and stays between the forearm fastening portion 100 and the forearm portion 30. For this reason, an air massage for massaging the forearm 30 becomes possible. At this time, the inflow amount of air can be adjusted through the control unit 340, and the temperature of the air can also be adjusted.

Accordingly, there is an advantage of helping blood circulation in the patient's entire arm, preventing arm construction, and minimizing skin damage. In addition, it is possible to eliminate rejection and build a sense of trust in patients and guardians in restraints, and to restore self-esteem by helping the patient's psychological stability.

At this time, the operator has the advantage of opening the zipper part 400 to check the skin condition of the forearm part 30 while the arm is fixed as a whole, and increasing the suppression power of other parts by opening only the part to be injected intravenously. There is an advantage that can be made.

6 is an enlarged view of a portion to which the band portion 600 of the suppression band is coupled according to another embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the band part 600 will be described with reference to FIG. 6.

The band part 600 is provided in a pair. In FIG. 6, as an example, a first band part 610 and a second band part 620 are classified.

The band part 600 is coupled to the outer surface of the forearm fastening part 100. At this time, the first band portion 610 and the second band portion 620 are spaced apart from each other and coupled to the forearm fastening portion 100, and each end portion may be coupled to a bed rod not shown. Due to this, the clamping force of the restraint can be increased.

At this time, the position of the band part 600 is not limited to a specific position, and only needs to be provided as a pair.

It is preferable that a coating layer is formed on the outer surface of the forearm fastening part 100. Due to the coating layer, contamination prevention and antibacterial effects are excellent.

In order to form the coating layer, a coating layer is formed using the coating composition according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the method of forming the coating layer may be formed using a known method such as an immersion method or a spray coating method.

The coating composition may contain natural extracts and inhibit the growth and growth of bacteria or fungi. In addition, by using a natural material rather than a chemical component, it exhibits high antibacterial activity and can have an advantage that is safe for the human body.

The coating composition is more specifically a polymer resin compound; Surfactants; bookbinder; Natural extracts; And a solvent.

Preferably the polymer resin compound is a compound represented by the following formula (1):

[Formula 1]

here,

n and m are the same as or different from each other, and each independently is an integer of 1 to 100.

Since the side chain in the polymer composition contains an alkylene group as a linker, a certain distance from the coating layer can be maintained, and as the distance is maintained, interference does not occur between the constituent components included in the coating layer and the side chain, so that antifouling properties are achieved. It can prevent the problem of deterioration.

That is, due to -CF3- bonded to one end of the alkylene group, a fluorine coating layer may be formed on the outermost part of the coating layer, and antifouling properties may be exhibited due to the effect of the fluorine coating layer, and due to the alkylene group, The interstitial ratio between the components contained in the coating layer does not occur, and there is no problem of deteriorating antifouling properties.

The surfactant is a betaine-based surfactant, and more specifically an alkyl betaine, amide betaine, sulfo betaine, hydroxysulfobetaine, amidosulfo betaine, phosphobetaine and imidazolinium betaine. It may be selected from the group consisting of, but is not limited to the above example.

The binder is selected from the group consisting of an acrylic binder, a urethane binder, a silicone binder, and a mixture thereof, more specifically a silicone binder, and may be preferably selected from the group consisting of polydimethylsiloxane, polyhydrosiloxane, and mixtures thereof. , Is not limited to the above example.

The natural extract is included to inhibit the growth and growth of bacteria or fungi, and may be selected from the group consisting of a Locust bean gum extract, a Glycine soja Siebold & Zucc. extract, and a mixture thereof. And, preferably, it may include a mixture of locust bean gum extract and dol bean (Glycine soja Siebold & Zucc.) extract, but is not limited to the above examples.

The stone bean is a vine-like annual plant that grows in the field, reaches 2m in length, and has brown hairs facing down. Leaves grow alternately and have 3 lobules and short hairs. The lobules are oval-shaped, lanceolate, obtuse, original or blunt. The flower is light purple and blooms in July-August. The fruit is slightly bent as a pinnate, and the seeds are slightly flat and like small beans. After drying and pulverizing the wild beans, 5 to 10 times the weight of distilled water is added to the pulverized dolphin powder, extracted under reflux, and then filtered and concentrated using a freeze dryer to prepare a hot-water extract of dolphin.

The dolkong extract may use an alcohol having 1 to 4 carbon atoms as an extraction solvent in addition to the hot water extract, but is not limited to the above example.

The natural extract can use one kind of natural extract, but compared to the case of using one kind, when mixed extracts are used, the incubation and proliferation of bacteria or fungi is suppressed by synergistic action due to the mutual reaction of each extract. The effect rises.

The solvent may be selected from the group consisting of water, alcohol solvent, halogen-containing hydrocarbon solvent, ketone solvent, cellosolve solvent, and amide solvent, but is not limited to the above examples.

The coating composition may further include a silicone softener. When the silicone-based softener is used to form a coating layer using a coating composition, when the touch of a portion in contact with the user's skin by the coating layer is not good, it can give a soft touch.

The coating composition is a polymer resin compound; Surfactants; bookbinder; Natural extracts; And a solvent, preferably 20 to 50 parts by weight of a polymer resin compound, based on 100 parts by weight of the solvent; 10 to 20 parts by weight of a surfactant; 30 to 50 parts by weight of a binder; It may contain 5 to 10 parts by weight of locust bean gum extract and 1 to 5 parts by weight of dolphin extract. In the case of the above range, a synergistic effect of critical significance is expressed as a synergistic effect due to the interaction of each extract, and when it is out of the above range, the synergistic effect is rapidly reduced or almost no synergistic effect.

The coating composition is a polymer resin compound; Surfactants; bookbinder; Natural extracts; And after mixing the solvent, it is prepared by stirring at 100 to 150 rpm.
