Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/352,216, filed on Jun. 7, 2010, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates generally to orthopedic pillows, and more particularly, to orthopedic pillows that provide a recessed area for a shoulder and support for the chest wall.
- During orthopedic surgery, the use of an axillary roll under patients who are in a lateral decubitus position is well known. Generally, the axillary roll is used to support the chest wall and relieve pressure and weight from the downward-facing shoulder. The benefits of such axillary rolls are well known in the art.
- Orthopedic pillows disclosed herein provide similar benefits by enabling a person to sleep or rest comfortably while lying on a side. Orthopedic pillows disclosed herein may be of particular benefit to people with various pain-causing shoulder conditions, especially when they lie on the side of the pain-causing shoulder. A common cause of such pain is impingement syndrome of the shoulder, though other causes are known.
- The orthopedic pillow may provide a recess into which a shoulder of the person can be inserted.
- The orthopedic pillow may further provide a wedge-shaped area upon which the torso of the person can rest and be supported thereby.
- The orthopedic pillow may still further provide a head rest upon which the head of the person can rest and be supported thereby.

- A preferably one-piece orthopedic pillow, generally designated 10, is illustrated in
FIG. 1 . Theorthopedic pillow 10 may include a generally wedge-shaped portion 11, ahead rest 12 and ashoulder recess 13. The wedge-shaped portion 11 may preferably be tapered on its opposing sides. Thehead rest 12 may include a pillow-top cover 12 a on one or both of its sides for added comfort. - The
orthopedic pillow 10 may be made of a suitable material such as resilient foam, polyurethane, etc. The material used in theorthopedic pillow 10 may be sufficiently soft and compressible to be comfortable to aperson 14 utilizing theorthopedic pillow 10 while being resilient and strong enough to maintain its basic shape and provide support against the weight of theperson 14. It is contemplated that a variety of materials, including combinations of materials, could be used. - The wedge-
shaped portion 11 may extend longitudinally on both its upper side and lower side (see in particularFIG. 6 ) along inclines to thehead rest 12. Preferred dimensions of the wedge-shaped portion 11 are: 16-20 inches long (as measured along the longitudinal axis of the wedge-shaped portion 11), 6-10 inches tall at the tallest point and 32-36 inches wide. Thehead rest 12 may be generally a cuboid with a longitudinal axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the wedge-shaped portion 11. Preferred dimensions of thehead rest 12 are: 32-36 inches long, 9-15 inches tall and 9-15 inches wide. Anarm channel 15 may be created between the tallest end of the wedge-shaped portion 11 and the head rest 12 by an absence of material of the orthopedic pillow 10 (FIG. 1 ). Thearm channel 15 may be generally concave in shape. Thehead rest 12 is taller than the wedge-shaped portion 11 is tall, and because the wedge-shaped portion 11 is centered vertically on thehead rest 12, anarm channel 15 is created both above and below the wedge-shaped portion 11 (FIG. 4 ). The depth of thearm channel 15 should be sufficiently large to receive an arm of theperson 14 under thearm channel 15 while theorthopedic pillow 10 rests flush on a flat surface. The preferred depth of thearm channel 15, measured from the top of thehead rest 12, is between 4 inches and 8 inches, inclusive. - Alternatively, the
orthopedic pillow 10 can be made without thearm channel 15. In this alternative embodiment, shown inFIGS. 5-7 , the tallest end of the wedge-shaped portion 11 terminates at thehead rest 12. Thehead rest 12 is taller than the wedge-shaped portion 11 is thick, and because the wedge-shaped portion 11 is centered vertically on thehead rest 12, alip 16 is created above and below the wedge-shaped portion 11 on the head rest 12 (FIG. 6 ). The height of thelip 16 should be sufficiently small to maintain the head of theperson 14 at a comfortable angle with respect to the torso of theperson 14, but should also be sufficiently large to receive the arm of theperson 14 under the wedge-shapedportion 11. The preferred height of alip 16 is between 1 inch and 3 inches, as measured from the top of the wedge-shaped portion 11 to the top of thehead rest 12. - The
shoulder recess 13 may be formed by an absence of material between the wedge-shaped portion 11 and the head rest 12 on ashoulder side 19 of theorthopedic pillow 10. Theshoulder recess 13 may extend from the face of theshoulder side 19 to acontoured edge 20, which abuts each of thearm channels 15. A preferred width of theshoulder recess 13, as measured from thehead rest 12 to the wedge-shaped portion 11, is 6-8 inches. Thecontoured edge 20 may be any shape, but a preferred shape is generally semi-circular as this shape best accommodates a shoulder. - In the embodiment of the
orthopedic pillow 10 that has noarm channel 15, theshoulder recess 13 may be formed by an absence of material through the height of the wedge-shaped portion 11 where the wedge-shaped portion 11 meets thehead rest 12 on ashoulder side 19 of the wedge-shaped portion 11 (FIG. 7 ). Theshoulder recess 13 may extend from the face of theshoulder side 19 to acontoured edge 20. Thecontoured edge 20 may be any shape, but a preferred shape is generally semi-circular as this shape best accommodates a shoulder. - A person wishing to relieve pressure to the shoulder on the same side that the person is lying is able to do so by placing the torso of the person on the wedge-shaped
portion 11, the shoulder into the shoulder recess 13 and the head onto thehead rest 12. In the configuration just described, the person using theorthopedic pillow 10 experiences a benefit which is that the chest wall and head of the person are independently supported to remove pressure from the shoulder which is able to be positioned comfortably. - Two preferred uses of the
orthopedic pillow 10 are shown inFIGS. 2-3 . In one preferred use, shown inFIG. 2 , the non-recessedside 21 of thepillow 10 faces the same direction as theperson 14. Theperson 14 is lying in the right lateral decubitus position with the right shoulder placed in theshoulder recess 13 and with the right arm extending forward and away from theperson 14, under the wedge-shaped portion 11 in the space created by thearm channel 15. In another preferred use, shown inFIG. 3 , the recessed side of thepillow 19 faces the same direction as theperson 14. Theperson 14 is lying in the right lateral decubitus position with the right shoulder placed in theshoulder recess 13 and with the right arm extending forward and away from theperson 14. The two preferred uses just mentioned can be modified by replacing references to the right shoulder with the left shoulder wherever the right shoulder is used and by placing theperson 14 in a left lateral decubitus position. - Yet another use of the
orthopedic pillow 10 is shown inFIG. 4 . Theperson 14 is lying in the dorsal decubitus position with the back of theperson 14 resting on the wedge-shaped portion 11 and the head of theperson 14 resting on thehead rest 12. - While specific embodiments have been illustrated and described, numerous modifications may come to mind without significantly departing from the spirit of the invention, and the scope of protection is only limited by the scope of the accompanying claim.
