Description

hand restraint structure

The present invention is a hand restraint structure, which is mainly composed of a long sleeve with a movable oblique strap at the front end. The long sleeve can be used for the arm to be completely inserted, and then the movable oblique strap is used to obliquely carry the shoulder and neck on the opposite side. It is placed to limit the position of the front end of the long sleeve to the armpit, so the arm can be completely restrained in the long sleeve, preventing the palm from touching external objects.

Patients receiving treatment or nursing care in medical institutions often have to undergo invasive treatment due to their condition, such as common drip injections to intubation tubes (nasogastric tubes, breathing tubes), drainage tubes, hemodialysis catheters... ... and other settings are all part of invasive medical treatment, and the common feature of the above medical treatment is that there will be pipelines exposed outside the human body.

Therefore, when taking care of the above-mentioned patients, in addition to paying attention not to bend, oppress, or pull the pipeline, special attention should be paid to the patient's intentional (because of uncooperative or dementia) or careless behavior of pulling the pipeline (during sleep). Involuntary action) to avoid medical risks such as infection, bleeding or even life-threatening.

Therefore, restraining the patient's hands is a necessary consideration. However, the commonly used restraining gloves are all limited to the patient's palm, so there will be an accommodation space for the palm to penetrate and restrain the wrist at the wrist to prevent the patient's palm from detaching. Restraint gloves (restraint gloves are tied to the bed frame with a tether). However, if the wrist is too loose, the palm will loosen and come out. If the restraint is too tight, the blood circulation of the patient will be affected, and the tether restricts the movement of the palm , the role of swing, often resulting in The extreme friction between the palm and the restraint glove can damage the skin.

In addition, although restraint gloves only restrain the palm of the hand, due to the length limitation of the tether, the entire arm is already in a state of being unable to move, so it is extremely uncomfortable for the patient, and there will be a strong resistance mentality, affecting social activities and quality of life of the patient (the World Health Organization also considers physical restraint a form of abuse).

In view of the above-mentioned deficiency, the inventor deeply feels that the commonly used restraint gloves only focus on the functional development of restraint, and the comfort of the patient is limited to the limitation of the existing structure and cannot be effectively improved. Therefore, he has been engaged in clinical care of patients for many years. Based on our extensive experience, active research and development and improvement, and under careful consideration of the conditions of all parties, we finally created the composition of this structure, which will completely solve various problems in common use.

The present invention is a hand restraint structure, which mainly includes a long sleeve and a movable oblique strap combined with the front end, wherein the long sleeve can be completely inserted into the arm, while the movable oblique strap can On the shoulder and neck on the opposite side to limit the position of the front end of the long sleeve to the underarm, so after implementation, the following effects will be provided:

Because the hand restraint structure of the present invention is designed with a long sleeve for the complete insertion of the arm, there is a loose margin between the tube diameter of the long sleeve and the arm (theoretically, the tube diameter can be enlarged to the patient's forearm It cannot be reversed to the upper arm to prevent the arm from breaking away from the restriction of the long sleeve), so the range of motion of the patient's arm and palm in the long sleeve is extremely sufficient, which can greatly improve the patient's comfort and personal freedom when restrained .

The rear end of the long sleeve of the present invention is provided with a tether tied to the bed frame, because the palm of the patient is located in the long sleeve, and there is no fastening mechanism for releasing or loosening the hand restraint structure at the palm. fixed components, so the length of the tether can be reserved longer (patients wearing conventional restraint gloves can often break free from the restraint gloves under the mutual friction and resistance of both wrists, so the tether will not reserve a length and be directly tied On the bed frame), as long as the range of motion of the long sleeve driven by the arm does not interfere with any medical pipelines, it not only achieves the purpose of restraining the patient, but also the patient will not have the mentality of resistance.

In order to enable your examiners to clearly understand the structure and composition of the present invention and the functional benefits that it can achieve, the remaining examples are listed in conjunction with the drawings, and the detailed description is as follows:

The present invention is a hand restraint structure, which mainly includes a long sleeve 1 and a movable oblique strap 2 combined with the front end (as shown in Figure 1), wherein the long sleeve 1 can be completely inserted into the arm, The movable sling strap 2 can be slanted on the shoulder and neck of the opposite side to limit the front end of the long sleeve 1 to the armpit (as shown in Figure 2), so that the arms can be completely restrained in the long sleeve 1 , to achieve the purpose of preventing the palm from touching external objects.

Among them, the above-mentioned movable oblique strap 2 refers to the combined state that at least one end is detachable and installed with the long sleeve 1. In the present invention, a corresponding adhesive buckle is provided at the junction of the movable oblique strap 2 and the long sleeve 1. Achieved by belt 21 (the length of movable oblique strap 2 can be adjusted, and also can adopt Known clasps and fasteners are formed, but the contact of hard materials with the patient's body can easily cause discomfort).

Therefore, when the hand restraint structure 10 of the present invention is implemented, the hook and loop 21 at one end of the movable oblique strap 2 can be released first, and then the long sleeve 1 can be used to completely insert the whole arm (the long sleeve 1 is hard and inflexible). It is made of curved material (such as plastic), and the barrel diameter of the long sleeve 1 is necessary to constrain the patient’s forearm from being reversed to the upper arm, so as to prevent the arm from breaking away from the restraint of the long sleeve 1 upwards. Therefore, the long sleeve 1 Under the condition that the tube diameter is not deformed by force, the tube diameter should be smaller than the length from the patient’s elbow to wrist), continue to wrap the movable sling strap 2 around the shoulder and neck on the opposite side, and then fix it with the Velcro 21 , so as to limit the position of the front end of the long sleeve 2 at the patient's armpit. The purpose of preventing the palm from touching external objects can be achieved, and because there is a loose margin between the tube diameter of the long sleeve 1 and the arm, the range of motion of the patient's arm and palm in the long sleeve 1 is extremely abundant , which can greatly improve the comfort and personal freedom of patients when they are restrained.

In addition, when further constraining the patient, the present invention is connected with a tether 11 at the rear end of the long sleeve 1 of the hand restraint structure 10 for binding on the bed frame 3 (as shown in Figure 3 ), because the patient's palm It is completely located in the long sleeve 1, and the fixing element of the hand restraint structure 10 is not released or loosened at the palm, so the length of the tether 11 can be reserved longer (patients wearing conventional restraint gloves, the wrists of both hands) Mutual friction and resisting force can often break free from restraining gloves, so the tethers will not reserve length and are directly tied to the bed frame), as long as the arm drives the long sleeve 1, the range of motion will not interfere with any medical pipelines (so the patient's arm can move freely in the long sleeve 1, and the arm can also drive the long sleeve 1 to swing in the limitation of the length of the tether 11), not only to achieve the purpose of restraining the patient, but also the patient will not have Resist mentality.

Furthermore, the long sleeve 1 of the present invention is provided with plural Air vent 12 (as shown in Figure 4) can be used for air circulation without stuffiness, and since the air vent 12 is set in the range that the patient's palm (finger) cannot touch, it can prevent the patient's fingers from stretching out from the air vent 12 and pulling the article .
