Abstract

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely human limb immobilisation tools, e.g. in treating bone fractures, joint injuries, human limb deformations and is applicable in treating animals. The method for human limb immobilisation consists in the fact that a treated patient's limb is covered with a liner and then with plate-like jointed plates (1, 3), tightly attached to each other by means of union latches (4-8). The plate-like jointed plates are symmetrically wrapped to the treated patient's limb with using closed bandage rings (11). A powdered fast-curing substance (10) is rubbed in between the bandage rings (11) in skin areas free from the union latches. After a layer of the immobilising bandage sufficient for treated patient's limb immobilisation is applied, the powdered fast-curing substance is set solid. The immobilising bandage is kept to set solid completely. The bandage (11) is cut away within an operating area of the union latches (4-8) of all plate-like joints. If the immobilising bandage is appeared to be loosened, the patient's limbs are temporarily unloaded section by section by means of releasing the union latches (4-8) and separating the plate-like jointed plates. The immobilising bandage is additionally compacted where loosened. The patient's body is disinfected that is followed by attaching the fragments of the immobilising bandage again. The plate-like jointed plates are fixed with respect to each other that is ensured by locking the union latches. An apparatus comprises a bandage (11) with a powder (10) and plate-like joints (1-3) tightly fixing the fragments of the immobilising bandage with respect to each, wherein they are rigidly integrated (9).

EFFECT: enabled additional compaction of the immobilising bandage during periodic unload section by section from the last patient's limb.

Description

The invention relates to means of immobilization of parts of the human body, for example in the treatment of bone fractures, joint damage, deformations of human body parts, and can be used in the treatment of animals.

There is a method of immobilization (immobilization) of parts of the human body, described in the "Popular Medical Encyclopedia", M .: "Soviet Encyclopedia", 1961, p. 255, consisting in the fact that a quick-hardening dressing made of gauze bandages into which they rub gypsum powder is placed on a bed of non-absorbent cotton, then the bandages are moistened and this part of the human body is left in an immobilized state until the gypsum dressing has completely hardened.

The disadvantage of this method is the inability to eliminate the decompression of the immobilization dressing that occurs when it is applied to the inflamed swollen parts of the patient’s body after the tumor disappears.

The technical result of the invention is the possibility of reinforcing the immobilization dressing during periodic periodical release from the last parts of the patient’s body.

The method consists in the fact that on the part of the patient’s body that is being treated, after applying the gasket, plate connectors are applied, which are capable of tightly fixing them relative to each other by means of cap latches; symmetrically wind the plate of the plate connectors to the treated part of the patient’s body with closed bandage rings; in places where there are no snap fasteners, powder of quick-hardening substance is rubbed between the rings of the bandage; after applying a layer of immobilization dressing sufficient to immobilize the treated part of the patient’s body, the powder of rapidly hardening substance is brought into hardening state; give time for complete hardening of the immobilization dressing; cut off the bandage in the areas of the action of the latches of all plate connectors; upon detection of decompression of the immobilization dressing, temporarily parcels are temporarily released parts of the patient’s body by opening the cap latches and disconnecting the plates of the plate connectors; reinforce the immobilization dressing in the places of its decompression; after the disinfecting treatment of the patient’s body parts, the removed fragments of the immobilization dressing are reinstalled; fix the plates of the plate connectors with respect to each other, for which the snap fasteners snap.

In a device that implements the proposed method, the specified technical result is achieved in that it has plate connectors made with the possibility of tight fixation of immobilization dressing fragments relative to each other, into which they are rigidly mounted.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, where:

- figure 1 is a General view of the immobilization dressing;

- figure 2 is a section along aa.

The method of immobilization of parts of the human body is as follows.

Plate connectors are made, consisting of plates fixed with cap latches; on the part of the patient’s body undergoing treatment, after applying the gasket, plate-plate connectors are applied, which are capable of tightly fixing them relative to each other by means of cap latches; symmetrically wind the plate of the plate connectors to the treated part of the patient’s body with closed bandage rings; in places where there are no snap fasteners, powder of quick-hardening substance is rubbed between the rings of the bandage; after applying a layer of immobilization dressing sufficient to immobilize the treated part of the patient’s body, the powder of quick-hardening substance is brought into a hardening state; give time for complete hardening of the immobilization dressing; cut off the bandage in the areas of the action of the latches of all plate connectors; upon detection of decompression of the immobilization dressing, temporarily parcels are temporarily released parts of the patient’s body by opening the cap latches and disconnecting the plates of the plate connectors; reinforce the immobilization dressing in the places of its decompression; after the disinfecting treatment of the patient’s body parts, the removed fragments of the immobilization dressing are reinstalled; fix the plates of the plate connectors with respect to each other, for which the snap fasteners snap.

A device that implements the proposed method contains plate connectors, consisting of plates 1, included in the locks 2 of the plates 3. The plates 1, 3 are made with the possibility of tight fixation relative to each other by means of snap fasteners, consisting of "P" -shaped bodies 4, rigidly fixed on the plates 3. On the "P" -shaped casings 4 pivots 6 with fixing loops 7 are mounted pivotally with the help of the axes 5. The leashes 6 are made with the possibility of catching on hooks 8, rigidly mounted on the plates 1, when locked TATUS tightly against each other to fix the plate 1 and 3. The latter are fixed studs 9 for fixing the plates 1 and 3 bystrozatverdevayuschem substance 10 and shroud 11 bintovom means of immobilization parts of the patient's body.

The operation of the device is as follows.

After bringing the elements of the patient's body to the desired position, a gasket is applied to this part of it, for example, from non-absorbent cotton. After this, the plates of the plate connectors are superimposed. The plate connectors of the plate connectors are symmetrically wrapped in closed bandage rings. In places where there are no cap latches, a powder of quick-hardening substance is rubbed between the rings of the bandage 11. After applying a layer of an immobilization dressing sufficient to immobilize the treated part of the patient’s body, the powder of quick-hardening substance is hardened. Time is given for the hardening of the immobilization dressing to be completely hardened, after which the bandages are cut off in the zones of action of the cover latches of all plate connectors. Upon detection of decompression of the immobilization dressing, parts of the patient’s body are temporarily temporarily freed by opening the snap fasteners and disconnecting the plates of the plate connectors. The immobilization dressing in the places of its decompression is compacted. After the disinfection of parts of the patient’s body, the removed fragments of the immobilization dressing are reinstalled. The plates of the plate connectors are fixed relative to each other, for which the snap fasteners snap.
