Description

The invention relates to medical technology, namely, devices. For supporting the patient during bathing, stretching the spine in water and transporting, and can be used. Called in hospitals and at home.

The purpose of the invention is to provide bathing for patients and people with disabilities of various growths and stretching of the spine in water when the patient is inclined.

FIG. 1 shows a general view of the device} in Fig „2 - section AA on fig. one; in fig. 3 is a view B in FIG. 2; in fig. 4 — device in water with deflated leg and middle sections,

, The device consists of two inflatable cylinders 1 and 2, a rigid shield 3, an inflatable pillow 4 with a notch 5 under the head, and supports 6 for the legs. Shield 3 is equipped with belts 7 with handles 8 "Cylinders 1 and 2 are made of isolated sections: dorsal 9, middle 10 and foot 11. Pillow, ka 4 and support 6 for legs are equipped with fastening elements 12 and 13. Shield and supports for legs are made perforated with holes 14. and 15.

The device is used as follows.

The cylinder sections are filled with air to the working pressure. The device is placed on a gurney for transporting patients. The stable position of the device on the gurney is provided by a large area of contact between the shield 3 and the gurney. If the width of the wheelchair exceeds the width of the shield 3, the contact of the shield and the wheelchair is not broken, since the shield is attached to the welded seams of the cylinders 1 and 2 and they are easily shifted to the top. The device itself is easily and conveniently mixed by the staff by the handles of 8 belts 7. The patient, with the help of the personnel, is placed on the shield 3. The shield is hard, which

more desirable, for example, for patients with diseases and injuries of the spine. The head of the patient is conveniently located on the pillow A, and the feet on the support 6 with holes 15 (the support may be in the form of a mesh). By using the handles 8, the patient is fixed to the shield IB of the axillary and hip regions. The belts have a device for adjusting their length.

Cylinders that rise above the plane of the shield 3 prevent the patient from sliding or sliding. The cushion and the leg support move further and closer to the shield along the cylinders 1 and 2, depending on the patient’s anthropological data, and are fixed to the welded seams on the inner-side surfaces of the cylinders with the fasteners 12, and the leg support is secured with the 13. on it, patients on a gurney are transported to a bath or pond

Taking up handles 8, the staff transfers the device with the patient lying on it to the bath

Each cylinder provides a good buoyancy of 6 kg, which is enough to keep the patient steady afloat. Water easily flows and washes the patient's body through the interval between shield 3 and pillow A, holes 14 in the shield, cells of the device in the open pond -shaped inflatable part of the pillow C

prevents water from overwhelming the head. Using straps and handles, the device can be easily fixed to any fixed object in a certain place of a reservoir or container. Cylindrical cylinders located along the sides of the shield provide the device with high stability on water

To immerse the patient in the water, air is first released from the foot sections 11 of both cylinders, then from the average 10, and if necessary, and partly from the dorsal side. 9 With this, the patient is immersed in water. By adjusting the filling of the cylinder sections with air, the desired angle of inclination of the shield in the horizontal plane is achieved, so that the pas, in the submerged zone

Heads are under water. At the same time, the patient's body retains its natural position, the patient does not experience unpleasant sensations associated, for example, with movements in the joints of the spine. The overwhelming of water in the auditory and airways is eliminated, and the angle of inclination of the mattress in a horizontal plane of about 30 ° provides the greatest comfort for the patient.

When the underwater hood is held on the device, the latter is fixed to the head end of the bath by the handles of the belts, which fix the patient additionally in the armpits and the arms. A lifting device is applied to the patient, after which a medical procedure is performed. At the same time, the patient's soft tissues slide along the smooth wetted surface of the plastic shield, which does not cause traumatizing the tissues and unpleasant sensations in the patient. To remove the patient to the surface, the sections are filled in pairs with air and the device with the patient is on the surface. flows both from the patient through the holes in the shield and the grid, and from the smooth non-wetting surfaces of the shield and cylinders. The staff, holding the handles, moves the device with the patient to the gurney and transports it to the ward
