Description

Patient with lateral shifting plate

A transverse displacement plate for a patient comprising: a body that is planar, rigid or substantially rigid and defines a top surface, a bottom surface, and a side edge of the arc connecting the two surfaces; and a tubular covering Partially covering the body, the patient using a laterally displaced plate comprising at least one fabric disposed between the body and the tubular covering, and the fabric has two surfaces: a first surface bonded to the body And a second surface, the second surface continuously facing the tubular cover when the first surface is attached to the body, and at least partially contacting the tubular cover when the patient is moved, the second surface comprising a slippery material, and the fabric occupies at least a portion of the surface covering the tubular cover.

In the prior art, it is known that some panels comprise a non-slip body that is covered by a tubular cover such that the inner surface of the tubular cover contacts the body and is slidable as a whole.

As the patient is moved from the plate to the hospital bed, the tubular cover moves relative to the body and moves the patient from the operating table to the hospital bed as a conveyor belt.

According to the German patent DE3806470 "GLEITVORRICHTUNG" (sliding), named ERNST WALSER KUNSTSTOFFWERK in 1988, relates to a sliding device for transporting a patient, basically comprising a substrate and a sliding cover to define the two components The friction between the surgeon can overcome the friction when the patient is on the sliding cover. This patent then states that the coefficient of static friction between the two elements is less than or equal to 0.1.

In addition, the European patent EP 2470344 "PASSENGER TRANSPORTATION DEVICE" (named after the carrier transport device) was named after Mr. Humbert GOCKELBÖHNER in 2000, relating to a plate for transporting a patient, comprising a rigid body with a continuous sliding cover around the body. The body, wherein the body comprises a foamed material which is heat-treated under pressure, has closed pores and impermeability, and has a density of 50 kg/m ³ or more. The second item of the patent application scope of this patent indicates a density of 60 kg/m ³ .

Another prior art is the patent US8096003 "TRANSPORTING DEVICE FOR PATIENTS", a name for SAMARIT MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC., in 2009, relating to a device for administering a small force mobile person. As in the prior patent, the patent includes a sliding cover and, in this case, the base plate includes a lid-like end to provide rigidity.

The present invention pertains to general medical services for patient displacement panels, such as for hospitals, ambulances, and the like.

The closest document is the German patent DE3806470.

This patent describes a sliding covering of the coated substrate and the sliding cover will rotate as the patient is pushed. One of the separate items of the patent indicates the possibility that the substrate is a sliding substrate.

The plate solves the problem of assisting in moving the patient from the plate to the hospital bed by means of a conveyor type system.

The board has several drawbacks. One is that it is necessary to manufacture a sliding cover each time, thus increasing the price of the cover. This also means that if disposable covers are used, they are not practical because they are slippery and their price increases.

The problem with this plate is that because the friction is too small (the coefficient of friction is less than or equal to 0.1), this means that when the plate slides, the very rapid acceleration motion caused by the force applied by the surgeon or nurse to the patient will cause the slide to be in the slip. The patient on the covering lost control.

In fact, the same problem occurs in document EP2470344. As indicated in the promotional text or advertisement of the patent, the patent needs to push the patient, which means that the board is not suitable for a patient who is seriously injured, because the driver or surgeon can cause the patient to be injured.

The inventors have developed a novel panel that allows replacement of the covering on the one hand. Because the cover does not slide, that is, as long as the cover is tubular, it is not slippery and can also be used in low friction. Used below, thus reducing costs and increasing the characteristics of the cover, such as impervious or anti-fouling treatment. Disposable tubular covers are available, which means that they can be replaced each time they are used, thus improving hygiene. It provides a very economical covering or a covering with specific technical features even for the purpose of use.

At the same time, the patient is more controlled when moved. When we examine the two patent specifications described above, the surgeon will push the patient. In fact, this phenomenon is particularly shown in the demonstration film and promotional literature, especially the second patent. In the present invention, a technique can be used to place the sheets on which the patient is placed to cover the cover and extend the sheets without pushing the patient. As such, the movement is milder and more controlled. This allows seriously injured patients to be moved without any doubt.

A subject of the present invention is a lateral displacement plate for a patient, comprising: a body that is planar, rigid or substantially rigid and defines a top surface, a bottom surface, and a circular arc side connecting the two surfaces; And a tubular cover partially covering the body, the patient lateral displacement plate characterized by comprising at least one fabric disposed between the body and the tubular cover, and the fabric has two surfaces: a first a surface coupled to the body; and a second surface that continues to face the tubular covering when the first surface is attached to the body and at least partially contacts the tubular covering when the patient is moved The second surface comprises a slip material and the fabric occupies at least a portion of the surface covering the tubular cover.

Figure 5 shows the body 1 and its first and second halves 1a and 1b, the tubular cover 5, the fabric 19 and the grip 9.

Finally, Fig. 6 represents the main body 1 and its first and second halves 1a and 1b, the second surface 11, the part 8 of the fabric, and the grip 9.

In the present embodiment, the patient uses a laterally displaced plate to include a planar body 1 that carries the primary structure of the patient.

The main body 1 defines a top surface 2, a bottom surface 3, and a circular arc side 4. The side 4 connects the two surfaces 2, 3.

The top surface 2 and the bottom surface 3 are in principle identical, even though they are distinguished in this specification for ease of understanding.

The body 1 can be rigid, such as made of wood, or substantially rigid, such as made of a polyethylene foam material to impart weight to the body 1. In essence, when referring to the definition of rigidity exhibited by the body 1 of the patient, the body 1 is shown as rigid, but in the case of carrying the patient's weight, it loses some of its rigidity due to the drape effect. Obviously this depends on the weight of the patient, since the performance of subject 1 when used in children is different from that used for 100 kg adults.

Therefore, the inventors have understood that the substantial rigidity should include, for example, a polyethylene foamed material having a density of at least 35 kg/m ³ or more, even in the present embodiment, considering the average age of an adult male, the density is between 55 and 60 kg/m ^{3 .} between.

The invention also includes a tubular covering 5 on which the patient to be moved is placed.

A fabric 19 is disposed between the main body 1 and the tubular cover 5. The fabric 19 comprises two surfaces: a first surface 10 which is attached to the body 1 by means of a currently known procedure, such as gluing or heat fusion; and a second surface 11 (Fig. 3).

When the first surface 10 is attached to the body 1, the second surface 11 remains on the outside, i.e., facing the tubular cover 5, and at least partially contacts the tubular cover when the patient is moved. In other words, at least when the patient is on the tubular cover 5. Furthermore, the second surface 11 is made of a slippery material such as a slippery polyamine such as Teflon.

The fabric 19 occupies at least a portion of the surface occupied by the tubular cover 5, and even in the present embodiment, the top surface 2 and the bottom surface 3 of the main body 1 are all covered by the fabric 19, even though it is easy to manufacture and the advantages to be described later. .

Once the patient is placed on the body 1 covered by the fabric 19 and partially covered by the tubular cover 5, since the fabric 19 contains a slippery material on its second surface 11, this means that when the patient is moved to, for example, a hospital bed, The patient is moved, for example, by a bed sheet, the friction between the patient and the tubular cover exerting resistance to movement, but at the same time the tubular cover 5 does not detect any resistance because the fabric 19 contains slip on its second surface 11 The material, the tubular cover 5 is thereby moved and rotated on the fabric 19.

Due to the friction between the patient and the tubular cover 5, the movement of the tubular cover 5 relative to the second surface 11 of the fabric 19 and the body 1 is greater than the movement of the patient relative to the tubular cover 5. This means that the patient is always more controlled, i.e., because there is no need to overcome high friction, the patient will not be pushed because the fabric 19 allows for the movement of the tubular cover 5 and requires less effort.

For ease of operation, it is alternatively contemplated that the arc side 4 also includes the fabric 19, which makes the device easier to slip when needed.

In some cases, such as patients with infectious diseases, it may be convenient for the tubular covering 5 to be disposable, and the present invention can undoubtedly do this because the tubular covering 5 can be of any type. It does not require speciality, and since the sliding element is present in the fabric 19 attached to the body 1, the replacement of the tubular cover 5 does not affect the fabric 19.

Another option is to avoid contamination of the fabric 19 by the patient's body fluids, and it is envisaged that the tubular cover 5 will be made impervious to water, and the design with the current configuration will not increase the cost. In addition, the efficiency can be increased by welding the seam with a high-frequency welder, so that the body fluid can be prevented from penetrating the seam.

The top surface 2 and the bottom surface 3 of the body are covered by the fabric 19 as this increases the sliding control of the panel.

If we look at the distribution of friction between the background and the components, we observe the following:

Here, the symbol "X" indicates that there is friction, the symbol " "It means no friction (almost no).

Fewer slip options can be seen in this application, and the patient is always more controlled because the actual friction will prevent the patient from falling due to uncontrolled sliding.

If we analyze the patient's condition relative to the covering, the friction is partial in the case of two references, that is, the covering slips, but on the other hand the patient's body does not cause any friction. In the case of the present application, there is friction between the covering 5 and the patient, neither of which is slippery, which means that the patient has greater resistance to the covering to be overcome, so that the patient can be prevented from being involuntarily Move or even fall due to lack of friction, as described above.

With regard to the cover 5 and the body 1, the German literature indicates that a minimum frictional force is sought between the two, and in fact both slide in the preferred embodiment. In the European patent only the cover 5 slides. Finally, this situation does not exist in the present invention, i.e. such a combination does not occur because the cover 5 does not slide over the body 1, but rather on the fabric 19.

The next line of the above paragraph in the table relates to the friction between the cover 5 and the fabric 19, which does not appear in any of the first two documents, as it has not been conceived, but it does appear in the present invention and is the present invention. Subject. The advantage obtained is that the patient moves the same, but it is like In a more controlled manner, there is no need to fear that the patient will fall or push the patient, and instead the push exists in the embodiments of the aforementioned documents.

In the case of the main body and the sheets (if sheets are used), the body will slide in the case of the German literature, and in the case of the European literature both will provide resistance, this option does not have a specific embodiment of the invention, since the body 1 does not and the sheets Contact, but in contact with the fabric 19.

In the table between the fabric and the sheets in the lower row of the above paragraph, since the other two documents have no fabric 19, this case does not exist. The fabric 19 is important in the present invention because it is an element that assists in the sliding of the cover 5.

Finally, in the case of the friction between the cover 5 and possibly the sheets, there is mutual friction in the present application, but the two elements are not slippery, and the opposite occurs in the cited documents (European and German patents). Both have sliding covers.

This results in the aforementioned advantages in both cost savings and mobile customers, and does not push the patient, and the patient's movement is always controlled.

In addition, this situation exists even when there is more friction, in the present application, the surgeon does not like the two prior art documents to push the patient, but instead uses the second piece of sheets, and the movement is not pushing but pulling, Just as the patient is moving forward, it avoids placing the hand on a seriously injured patient and is more likely to move the patient.

The inventors have found that a tubular cover 5 made of a composition of a PES fabric having a PVC coating is excellent.

Based on the pursuit of maximum weight reduction to assist medical personnel and to avoid their injuries, the body 1 is made of a polyethylene foamed material which imparts great light weight and strength to the present invention. The density of the polyethylene foamed material can be different as described above, depending on the weight of the patient, but if the reference is made to a male of an average age of about 80 kg, the density is 60 kg/m ³ .

Guide grooves 7 are formed on at least one of the arcuate side edges 4 along the surface of the tubular cover 5 at the turn. This is done to make it easier to guide the tubular cover 5. The tubular cover 5 can be slightly loosened, such that the guiding groove 7 allows the tubular cover 5 to be ready for operation at any time.

As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the plate can be lengthened. To this end, the body 1 is conceivable to comprise at least two halves, the first half 1a and the second half 1b being joined together by a member 8 acting like a hinge, enabling the first half 1a to be folded to the second half 1b .

Sometimes it is very convenient to keep him or her on the board without moving the patient. Thus, for example, the body 1, the fabric 19 and the tubular cover 5 can be made of a radiolucent material so that it can be used to illuminate, for example, X-rays.

In the present invention, the grip 9 is for transporting or hanging the panel, not for transporting the patient.
