Description

Arm joint motion limiter for patient {ARM KNUCKLES ACTION LIMITATION DEVICE FOR PATIENT}

The present invention relates to an arm joint restraining device for a patient, and more particularly, by limiting the movement of an arm joint, so that an unconscious severely ill patient or a patient with dementia can self-injure by hand or a nose cord connected to the patient's nose or the patient's arm or other body. It relates to an arm joint limiter for a patient to prevent an act of pulling out an intravenous line connected to a part.

Due to the development of medical technology and the improvement of dietary life, modern society is gradually entering an aging society. Accordingly, the number of the elderly population is gradually increasing, and as the number of elderly people increases, the number of patients suffering from geriatric diseases such as dementia is rapidly increasing, and the number of severely ill patients with various diseases that are difficult to treat is also increasing, requiring long-term treatment in hospitals. Cases are increasing more and more.

These patients with dementia or severely ill patients not only wear various medical devices, including an intravenous line for supplying intravenous fluid, a nose line for breathing assistance, and a urine line for excretion of urine, but also various medical devices to check the patient's condition or treatment progress. equipment is assisted.

However, patients with dementia or severely ill patients pull out intravenous lines or nasal cords with their own hands, self-harm, or leave their beds to damage nearby medical equipment or damage surrounding objects due to stress or depression caused by treatment. It is not easy to treat patients and protect patients because there are cases in which acts such as throwing are performed.

In order to solve this problem, a method of restricting motion by manufacturing a patient's wrist or ankle in the form of a mitten and fixing it to bedding has been mainly used.

However, since these glove-type limiting devices wrap the hand in the form of a mitten to restrict hand movement and fix the wrist to the bed at the same time, the fixed wrist portion may cause skin damage due to an increase in humidity and temperature and an increase in friction. In many cases, it was worn, and when the restraint was removed to prevent skin damage to the patient, the patient's sudden action caused damage to the skin and body or fractures, which became a problem.

In addition, the armband (or guard) worn on the wrist or wrist is a band that maintains the compressive force by its own elasticity, and is worn on the elbow, wrist, or knee to protect the joint or restrict the movement of the joint, such as exercise or treatment. being used for a purpose.

Conventional elbow protectors or elbow protectors can be used to prevent the patient's arm from being bent beyond a certain angle, or a joint bending limiter can be used as in Patent No. 2257435. Conventional elbow protectors are like braces. Since it is simply used for muscle compression, it was difficult to limit the angle of the arm, and Patent No. 2257435 uses a band-shaped elastic material for the entire upper and lower parts of the patient's arm joint, so it can be worn for a long time. In addition to the patients complaining of pain, there has been a problem that can lead to skin damage as the humidity and temperature of the worn part increase.
