The present invention uses a free molding splint impregnated with elastic fibers in a curable resin that is naturally cured by moisture to prevent movement around the affected areas such as fractures, sprains, and inflammation, thereby preventing pain and restoring the affected areas. It is about the bending splint for the whole cast to speed up.

[Document 1] Domestically registered patent No. 10-0385790, registered on May 19, 2003.

[Document 2] Registered Korean Patent No. 10-0773862, November 8, 2007.

In general, orthopedic surgeons use body orthopedic splints to fix sore limbs, such as fractures, sprains, and inflammation, in limbs.

The body orthopedic splint is roughly classified into a whole-gibbed splint that completely covers the affected part and a half-gibbed splint that covers only the affected part, depending on the type of procedure. In particular, the tub cast splint is more effective in shaping the affected area because it completely wraps around the affected area.

In the past, tub cast splints have been widely used to fix plaster-coated bandages on the affected areas.Shrink phenomena occur during the hardening of the plaster, which does not effectively support the affected areas, and bandages the affected areas. There was a problem that takes a considerable time.

In addition, there is a problem of hurting the skin of the affected part because it is sweaty when fixed for a long period of time, itching and unpleasant smell, and a separate cutter must be used to remove after completion of treatment.

In order to solve such a problem, the elastic fiber impregnated with curable resins, such as a curable polyurethane hardened | cured naturally by moisture instead of the bandage which gypsum was apply | coated like the documents 1-2, is used recently.

Bending splint for the semi-gibbs of the document 1 is a cover consisting of an inner skin and an outer skin in which the horizontal portion and the vertical portion are bent at a predetermined angle and the edges are integrally sealed, and an elastic fiber inserted into the cover and coated with a curable resin. will be.

Therefore, when performing the treatment on the affected area with a bent splint soaked in water and in close contact with the affected part, the angle of the cover and the elastic fiber in the shape of the affected area by hand and then wound with a bandage. And when the treatment is complete and separated from the affected area is a half-gibbs shape, just remove the bandage.

Splint for the cast of the document 2, the shape corresponding to the affected part, the elastic fiber impregnated with the curable resin, elastic bands integrally installed in one longitudinal direction on one side of the elastic fiber, to be coupled in the longitudinal direction to both ends of the elastic fiber, respectively Installed is composed of a coupling means such as a slide fastener for coupling both ends of the elastic fiber.

Therefore, when performing treatment on the affected part, the elastic fiber is wetted with water in the state in which the coupling means is fastened, and the cover is covered with the hand to match the shape of the affected part. When the treatment is completed and separated from the affected area, the coupling means are separated from each other and the elastic bands are simply cut lengthwise with a knife or scissors.

However, the bending splint for the semi-gibbs of document 1 described above is both semi-cylindrical in form of cover and elastic fiber. Therefore, even if the structure is changed to a full cast structure using such a structure, the procedure cannot be performed in the full cast form, and thus only the half cast type procedure can be performed.

In other words, in order to be applied to the affected part in the shape of a tub cast, both the cover and the elastic fiber should be manufactured in a cylindrical shape, and when the cover and the elastic fiber are bent in accordance with the bending shape of the affected part, many wrinkles inside the bent portion of the cover and the elastic fiber Because of this, the affected part could not be fixed properly.

Therefore, the bending splint of Document 1 has a problem in that its utility is inferior due to a functional limitation that can only be used for the treatment in the semi-gibbed form. In addition, when the elastic fiber is inserted into the cover during manufacture and the edge thereof is sealed, the curable resin absorbed in the elastic fiber is easily buried in other parts, thereby causing difficulty in sealing work.

When the splint for the tub cast of Document 2 described above is impregnated with the elastic fiber in the curable resin in the manufacturing process and is pressed with a press to squeeze the curable resin more than necessary, the elastic fiber is not properly compressed because the height of the coupling means is higher than that of the elastic fiber. I couldn't. For this reason, there was a problem that a lot of difficulties in removing the curable resin.

And when impregnating the curable resin in the elastic fiber, the protective film should be attached to the bonding means separately so that the curable resin is not absorbed on the surface of the bonding means. Therefore, the manufacturing is not easy and the number of work is increased, there was a problem that the manufacturing efficiency is lowered.

In addition, even if the elastic fibers to some extent, if the patient's physique is large, the elastic fibers will severely compress the affected area. Therefore, there was a problem that causes pain in the affected part and hinders blood circulation in the affected part.

Accordingly, the present invention does not need to install a coupling means for joining both ends of the elastic fiber during manufacture, so that all the problems of the documents 1 to 2 can be solved, and the elastic fiber impregnated with the curable resin easily into the inside of the cover. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bent splint for a tub cast having a structure that can be inserted, can be easily wrapped around the affected part to fit the patient's physique during the procedure, and can be safely and conveniently separated from the affected part after the treatment is completed.

The present invention has been invented to solve the above problems, consisting of the elastic fiber impregnated with a curable resin and the cover to wrap the elastic fiber from the outside, bending for the whole cast cast to form a wound around the bent portion In the splint, the elastic fiber has a horizontal length that allows the both ends to overlap the horizontal portion of the affected area, and the horizontal portion pre-formed in a shape corresponding to the horizontal portion of the affected area, and the vertical portion of the affected area as the both ends overlap It has a horizontal length that wraps so that the vertical portion preformed into a shape corresponding to the vertical portion of the wound portion is integrally formed in a mortar shape between the horizontal portion and the vertical portion, and both sides are sealed so as to correspond to the bending angle of the wound portion. A bent portion that connects the portion at the bending angle of the annular portion; The cover is composed of an inner skin and an outer shell consisting of a horizontal portion, a vertical portion, and a bent portion, respectively, to have the same shape as the elastic fiber, and both ends of the horizontal portion and the vertical portion of the endothelium and both ends of the horizontal portion and the vertical portion of the shell are sealed with a finishing member. The bent portion of the endothelium is not both sides sealed and the middle is horizontally cut so that the elastic fiber is easily inserted into the cover; Installed in the longitudinal direction in the center of the elastic fiber and composed of a stretch band made of a material that does not absorb the curable resin; Provided is a bending splint for a tong cast.

In the present invention, despite the bending splint during manufacturing, the operation of inserting the elastic fiber into the shell is very simple, and the work of squeezing it out after being impregnated in the curable resin is also very convenient. Since the procedure can be easily completed simply by wrapping, the diameter of the patient's physique can be changed and the pain of the affected part and the blood circulation disorder can be eliminated. Since the band is easily cut by scissors or knife, the separation work is very easy and safe.

1 to 4, the feature is composed of a resilient fiber impregnated with a curable resin (10) and a cover 20 surrounding the elastic fiber 10 from the outside, through the affected part with a bent portion In the bending splint for the cast cast to form a wrapper, the elastic fiber 10 has a horizontal length that covers the horizontal portion of the affected area while overlapping both ends, the horizontal portion 10a having a shape corresponding to the horizontal portion of the affected area And a vertical portion 10b having a horizontal length that overlaps both ends with a marginally covering the vertical portion of the affected portion and a shape corresponding to the horizontal portion of the affected portion, and a mortar between the horizontal portion 10a and the vertical portion 10b. It is integrally formed in a shape, and both sides are sealed to correspond to the bending angle of the annular portion is composed of a bent portion (10c) connecting the horizontal portion (10a) and the vertical portion (10b) at the bending angle of the annular portion; The cover 20 is formed of

horizontal parts

21a, 22a,

vertical parts

21b, 22b, and

bent parts

21c and 22c, respectively, to have the same shape as the elastic fiber 10, and Consists of the outer shell 22, both ends of the horizontal portion 21a and vertical portion 21b of the inner shell 21 and both ends of the horizontal portion 22a and the vertical portion 22b of the outer shell 22 are the finishing member 23. Sealed), the bent portion (22c) of the endothelial (21) is configured to facilitate the insertion of the elastic fiber (10) into the interior of the cover (20) is cut in the middle without being sealed on both sides; Installed in the center of the elastic fiber 10 in the longitudinal direction and composed of a stretch band 30 made of a material that is not absorbed curable resin; Achieved by the structure.

That is, the middle of the endothelial 21 constituting the cover 20 to be easily inserted into the inside of the cover 20, the elastic fiber 10 is cut, the elastic fiber 10 and the cover 20 is bending of the affected part It has a bending angle corresponding to the site, and both ends of the elastic fiber 10 and the cover 20 overlap the horizontal part and the vertical part of the affected part by a structure that allows a margin.

At this time, the elastic fiber 10 and the cover 20 is preformed to correspond to the shape of the affected part to fit the shape of the affected part. That is, if the affected part is the ankle, the elastic fiber 10 and the cover 20 correspond to the shape of the ankle and have a preformed shape to have a more relaxed area.

Therefore, when inserting the elastic fiber 10 impregnated in the curable resin into the cover 20 in the manufacturing process of the bent splint 100, the bent portion of the endothelial 21 is cut as shown in FIG. The elastic fiber 10 may be inserted into the cover 20 in the direction of the arrow through 21c).

That is, the horizontal portion 10a and the vertical portion 10b of the elastic fiber 10 are placed between the inner portion 21 and the

horizontal portions

21a and 22a of the outer shell 22 and the inner shell 21 and the outer shell 22, respectively. After inserting completely between the vertical portions (21b) and (22b) of the (), the bending portion (10c) of the elastic fiber 10 is completely inserted into the bent portion (22c) of the outer shell 22, and then the middle is horizontally The bent portion 21c of the cut endothelial 21 may be pushed completely into the bent portion 10c of the elastic fiber 10.

Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the elastic fiber 10 is inserted into the cover 20 without being exposed to the outside. Therefore, even when the elastic fiber 10 is impregnated with the curable resin, the insertion work into the cover 20 becomes very convenient.

In addition, when the press work is performed in order to remove the curable resin more than necessary after impregnating the elastic fiber 10 in the manufacturing process of the bending splint 100, unlike the conventional coupling means such as a slide fastener is not provided The curable resin can be squeezed out very simply and efficiently.

Therefore, the conventional problem which had many difficulties in the removal operation of curable resin can be eliminated. Accordingly, the manufacturing efficiency of the bending splint 100 can be greatly improved as compared with the related art.

In addition, when the bending splint 100 is to be applied to the affected part, as shown in FIG. 5, the bending part 100 is closely attached to the bent part 21c of the endothelial 21 and then the horizontal part 10a of the elastic fiber 10 as shown in FIG. 5. The

horizontal part

21a, 22a of the cover 20 completely covers the horizontal part of the affected part, and the affected part is formed by the vertical part 10b of the elastic fiber 10 and the

vertical part

21b, 22b of the cover 20. After completely wrapping the vertical portion of the elastic fiber 10 by touching the hand portion may be molded according to the shape of the affected part.

Here, the horizontal portion 10a and the vertical portion 10b of the elastic fiber 10, and the

horizontal portion

21a, 22a and the

vertical portion

21b, 22b of the cover 20 are longer than the circumference of the affected part. Since the wound around the affected area, as shown in Figure 6, both ends of the elastic fiber 10 and the cover 20 may be wrapped around the affected part in a state where they overlap each other.

Then the procedure is completed by winding the elastic bandage to the outside of the cover 20. In this case, according to another embodiment as shown in FIG. 7, the cover 20 may be installed at a predetermined interval with a Velcro tape 40 that can replace the elastic bandage. This will allow you to finish the procedure much more quickly and conveniently than using an elastic bandage.

Therefore, both ends of the elastic fiber 10 and the cover 20 is hardened in the overlapping state to fix the affected part, unlike the conventional, there is no need to combine both ends of the elastic fiber 10 or the cover 20 as a coupling means. The procedure can be very convenient.

In addition, since the elastic fiber 10 and the cover 20 has a horizontal length longer than the periphery of the affected part, the elastic fiber 10 and the cover 20 may be wound to fit the affected part with different diameters depending on the size of the patient or the location of the affected part, so that the pain of the affected part due to tightening Or blood circulation disorders can be resolved.

In addition, the inner skin 21 of the cover 20 is in direct contact with the affected part, so that the cushion part is made of a cushioned material such as a nonwoven fabric, so that the affected part can be more comfortably fixed.

And when the treatment of the affected area is completed to separate the bending splint 100 from the affected part, the cover 20 with the elastic band 30 installed in the longitudinal direction in the center of the elastic fiber 10 may be cut with scissors or a knife.

At this time, since the elastic band 30 is composed of a synthetic rubber material such as neoprene that does not absorb the curable resin, unlike the elastic fiber 10, it is not hardly hardened and can be easily cut with scissors or a knife.

Then, the elastic fiber 10 is divided into two sides based on the elastic band 30 together with the cover 20, and both ends of the elastic fiber 10 and the cover 20 are simply overlapped up and down, Splint 100 is easily separated from the affected area.

Therefore, in order to separate the tub cast splint from the affected area, at least two or more places had to be cut with a cutter dedicated to the cast, so that only the cutting of the elastic band 30 with scissors or a knife can make the separation work very easy. do.

The above embodiments are merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art may have other embodiments modified in various ways.

Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should include not only the above embodiment but also various other embodiments modified by the technical spirit of the invention described in the claims below.
