Abstract

This invention relates to the medical field, the splint composite, one of its functions is to stabilize and strengthen the patients injured body part during the recovery and postoperative period, and multifunctional splint composite production method when the splint composite is produced from four layers of different hardening materials. The first layer is the lining. The second layer is semi-hardening glass fiber or polyester fabric, impregnated with polyurethane. As a third layer it is layer reinforcing element from thermosetting polyester or glass fiber fabric impregnated with polyurethane. Reinforcing elements size is selected as needed, it depends on the injured location, splint size or limb. The fourth layer fixes the reinforcing element by wrapping with semi-hardening glass fiber or polyester fabric, impregnated with polyurethane. The splint can be removed for carrying out the patient examinations and other procedures.

Description

THE SUBSTANCE OF THE INVENTION

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional mandrel, one of the functions of which is to stabilize and strengthen the site of injury to a patient's body during recovery or postoperative period.

The composite mandrel is manufactured by combining several materials: semi-rigid fiberglass or polyester impregnated with polyurethane, which is reinforced with a highly cured fiberglass or polyester impregnated with polyurethane at the indicated location. Semi-curing fiberglass or polyester material is rewound on top. As a result, the splint is porous and breathes better, and is lightweight as it allows the person to move more easily. The manufactured splint is 2-3 times lighter than conventional plaster splints.

The composite mandrel is made of four layers: a lining, a first layer of semi-curing material, a layer of highly curing material and a second layer of semi-curing material.

TECHNICAL FIELD

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the field of medical technology and relates to a composite mandrel for stabilizing or reinforcing a patient's body injury site during recovery or postoperative period.

TECHNICAL LEVEL

Orthopedic splints are used to strengthen the patient's various parts of the body and restrict movement. A variety of hardening dents and bandages are known which are formed by attaching, wrapping, or otherwise securing to a fracture, tension, or dislocation, by applying a cutaway or band to the curing material and curing it. It has long been abandoned plaster used for many years and switched to more advanced natural and synthetic materials: cotton, rubber, leather, cork, fiberglass, carbon fiber, polyamide, polyester and more. Various fabrics are impregnated with curing agents such as polyurethane. All of these materials provide lightness, strength, comfort, and different colors for the anchors. However, in addition to all of the above properties, rapid and proper application of the mandible at the site of injury is essential, taking into account all indications. In addition, it is often necessary to remove the splint for examination or massage of the affected area and then reinsert it.

JP19990071428 discloses an orthopedic body splint for immobilizing a human body part by fixing a wounded hand or foot with a splint consisting of a plurality of elastic fibers impregnated with medical plastic and curing when evaporated and connecting rings which connects the parts of the splints and presses the splint against the limb.

However, such a brace is more difficult to form and it holds the entire limb firmly, rather than the affected area. In addition, over a longer period of time, the connecting rings can cause pressure and melt the limb.

US2006129075 discloses an orthopedic wrist strap consisting of a flexible metal band which is placed on the wrist, is covered with a synthetic material and is wrapped with a protective material. This brace provides greater lower rigidity when the metal band is bent under the patient's arm, wrist

The composite insert is made of polyester or fiberglass material impregnated with polyurethane (low temperature curing plastic). A soft material is used as a lining, a semi-curing material which is reinforced with a highly curing material (reinforcement), customized according to the indications. The reinforcements are placed only at the site of injury (fracture, tension, dislocation), leaving other areas of the mandible semi-soft. In this way, the mandrel performs a functional stabilization, i.e. reduces the risk of muscle atrophy, joint immobility and articular cartilage stiffness, can reduce the period of rehabilitation, as the muscles and tendons retain their ability to function and place the immobilizer only where necessary.

For this purpose, a band-shaped material is used, the width of which is selected according to the need, depending on the size and on which part of the body will be applied. This material has different curing properties. This material is stored in a sealed package at room temperature. Special storage conditions are not required for the manufactured composite mandrel.

The composite mandrel is made of four layers of various curing agents. First, the lining is applied to the affected area. It can be in the form of a sock, cushioned or wrapped in soft material. Because it is intended to protect the skin from the action of the hardening material, it should be the length of the splint and cover all areas of the skin that are in contact with the splint lining longer than the material.

The lining is gentle to the skin and does not cause any discomfort. Next, as a second layer, a semi-solidifying rZ-arfSi, · · '' is applied to the affected area. = - - · v » _r or polyester material impregnated with polyurethane. As a third layer, a reinforcing element consisting of a highly curing fiberglass or polyester material impregnated with polyurethane is placed thereon (1). The size of the fastener is selected as needed, depending on the site of injury, the size of the mandible, or the extremity. The fourth layer secures the reinforcing element by wrapping in a semi-hardening fiberglass or polyester material impregnated with polyurethane (2).

The formed composite mandrel is exposed to warm water by either wet wrapping or spraying on top. The hardened mandrel is strong and does not wear out for long. In addition, it is water resistant. The patient with such an insertion should be washed and the water evaporated through the pores of the material or by blowing the hair dryer. Because the structure of the mandrel is composed of different curing agents, it immobilizes the injury site very precisely and at the same time gives the patient comfort and enables the effective use of the composite mandrel. The collar material can come in a variety of colors, making each patient look and feel aesthetically pleasing.

the splint is easily removable and reinserted, allowing the patient to undergo a variety of medical examinations and restoration measures, thus shortening the rehabilitation time after splint removal.

THE BEST {LIVING OPTION

Lining applied to the affected area. It can be wrapped as a sock or wrapped. The lining should be longer than the length of the collar and should cover all areas of the skin.

The lining is made of semi-rigid fiberglass or polyester impregnated polyurethane. The width of the strap is selected according to need, depending on the size and location of the strap.

The latter is fitted with a reinforcing element made of a highly hardening fiberglass or polyester material impregnated with polyurethane. Fasteners are selected based on the site of injury and the size of the mandible. The fastener is secured by wrapping in a soft fiberglass or polyester material impregnated with polyurethane. The molded composite mandrel is exposed to warm water by wrapping or wet spraying on top. brace hardens within 4 minutes. Complete hardening occurs within 20-30 minutes. the mandrel is cut at a point where there is no hardened reinforcement. It is then removable from the patient and can be trimmed with edges, adhesive tape, adhesive tape or riveted tape (VELCRO material). Because the edges of the splint are soft and hardened only to the point of injury, the patient can easily remove and put on the splint.
