2 and 3 are respectively a top perspective view and a bottom perspective view of a medical table for fixing the head and neck according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In addition, a and b of FIG. 4 are a perspective view and an operating state diagram showing the main configuration of a medical table for fixing the head and neck according to another embodiment of the present invention, respectively.

2 to 4, the medical table for fixing the head and neck according to the present invention includes a table 100, a base bracket 200, a first movable block 300, a second movable block 400, and a head and neck support ( 500) are included.

More specifically, the table 100 is a bed supported by a patient to be operated or examined while lying down, and flat portions 101 are formed on both sides, and a curved portion 102 is formed at the center so that the curved portion is located toward the bottom side.

Accordingly, the table 100 can be easily moved to the central position of the table 100 by the curved portion 102 in a state in which the subject lies down.

In addition, a fixing groove 110 may be formed in the plane part 101 in the longitudinal direction of the table 100 .

At this time, it is preferable that the fixing groove 110 extends to the end where the head side is located when the subject lies down on the table 100 .

In addition, the table 100 may include a base bracket fastening member 120 on the bottom surface as shown in a of FIG. 4 instead of the fixing groove 110 .

At this time, the base bracket fastening member 120 is preferably formed on the side where the head side is located when the subject lies down on the table 100.

On the other hand, the base bracket 200 is formed to be detachable on the end side of the table 100 where the head of the subject is located.

More preferably, as shown in FIG. 3 , the base bracket 200 may be fixed to both sides of the table 100 by forming fixing protrusions 220 inserted into the fixing grooves 110 .

At this time, the base bracket 200 is preferably fastened by pushing the fixing protrusion 220 along the fixing groove 110 extending to the end where the head side is located when the subject lies down as described above.

In addition, the base bracket 200 may further include a fixing member such as a tightening bolt to prevent movement along the fixing groove 110 when fastened to the table 100 .

In addition, as shown in a of FIG. 4 , the base bracket 200 may be inserted into the base bracket fastening member 120 in the longitudinal direction of the table 100 and fixed thereto.

In addition, the base bracket 200 is coupled to the first movable block 300 by a first adjusting member 210 of a lead screw or button type.

Accordingly, the first movable block 300 moves forward and backward in the longitudinal direction of the table 100 with respect to the base bracket 200 by the operation of the first adjusting member 210 .

For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the first adjusting member 210 is a lead screw type, the first movable block 300 rotates the first adjusting member 210. It is moved in the longitudinal direction of the table 100 with respect to the base bracket 200, and the distance with the base bracket 200 is adjusted.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, when the first adjusting member 210 is a button type, the first movable block 300 is moved to the table 100 while pressing the first adjusting member 210. The distance with the base bracket 200 is adjusted by pulling or pushing in the longitudinal direction, and the movement of the first movable block 300 can be restricted if the button is not pressed.

In addition, the first movable block 300 is coupled to the second movable block 400 by a second adjusting member 310 of a lead screw or button type.

Accordingly, the second movable block 400 rises or falls with respect to the first movable block 300 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the table 100 by the operation of the second control member 310. do.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the second adjusting member 310 is a lead screw type, the second movable block 400 rotates the second adjusting member 310. The distance between the first movable block 300 and the first movable block 300 is adjusted by moving in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the table 100 .

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, when the second adjusting member 310 is a button type, the second movable block 400 is moved to the table 100 while pressing the second adjusting member 310. The distance from the first movable block 300 is adjusted by pulling or pressing in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and the movement of the second movable block 400 can be restricted if the button is not pressed.

Meanwhile, the head and neck support 500 is detachable from the second movable block 400 in which the head support 510 and the cervical spine support 520 are integrally formed to support the head and cervical spine of the subject.

In addition, the head and neck support 500 may be integrally formed with the second movable block 400 as shown in a and b of FIG. 4 .

More specifically, the head support 510 has a half pipe shape as a whole, and the head of the subject is guided toward the center of the head support 510, and is prevented from escaping to one side.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 2 , the cervical spine support 520 is formed as a gently curved surface from the head support 510 to naturally support the cervical spine of the subject.

In addition, the head and neck support 500 is preferably formed of a carbon material in consideration of strength and moldability without affecting X-ray transmission during CT imaging in a state in which the head and neck of the subject is supported.

In addition, the head and neck support 500 may further include a belt (not shown) formed to wrap around the head of the subject by including Velcro or the like.

On the other hand, in the medical table for fixing the head and neck according to the present invention, each component can be freely attached and detached, and the movable range of the first movable block 300 and the second movable block 400 depends on the subject's body size or posture. , The shape of the head and neck support 500 may be determined and combined.

Accordingly, the medical table for fixing the head and neck according to the present invention is pre-manufactured and can be easily applied to a table installed in a hospital or the like, and can be removed according to circumstances, thereby further improving usability.

On the other hand, Figure 5 is a flow chart showing an operating method of the medical table for fixing the head and neck according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2 to 5, the operating method of the medical table for fixing the head and neck according to the present invention includes a preparation step (S100), a length adjustment step (S200), a head and neck fixing step (S300), and a height adjustment step (S400). include

More specifically, the preparation step (S100) is a step of laying the subject on the table in a state in which the subject's head and neck are supported by hand.

At this time, the subject can easily move the table 100 to the central position of the table 100 while the subject is lying down by the curved surface part 102 and can be prevented from being deviated to one side.

In addition, in the length adjusting step (S200), the first movable block 300 is adjusted in the longitudinal direction of the table 100 by adjusting the distance of the first movable block 300 with respect to the base bracket 200 according to the position of the head and neck of the subject. This step is to adjust the length of the block 300.

In addition, the head and neck fixing step (S300) is a step of seating and fixing the head and neck of the subject on the head and neck support 500.

At this time, as the head and neck support 500 has a half pipe shape as a whole as described above, the head is guided toward the center of the head support 510 and is prevented from escaping to one side.

In addition, the head and neck fixing step (S300) may further include fastening a belt for fixing the head of the subject.

In addition, in the height adjustment step (S400), the distance between the second movable block 400 relative to the first movable block 300 is adjusted according to the examination or treatment item to be received by the target person, thereby adjusting the lengthwise direction of the table 100. This is a step of adjusting the height of the head and neck support 500 in a direction orthogonal to .
