Foot Pillows to Prevent Pressure Injuries

Abstract

The invention discloses a foot pillow for preventing pressure injury, which can keep the patient's heel in the air, reduce the pressure on the lower edge of the ankle at the same time, avoid the occurrence of pressure injury, and can also prevent or treat stroke patients due to stretching. Muscle spasms cause foot drop and cause walking inconvenience and other problems. The key points of the technical solution are: a foot pillow for preventing pressure injuries, including a pillow body, the pillow body is provided with a leg supporting part, a heel suspension groove and a limit mechanism for preventing foot drop, and the heel suspension groove is oriented to The lower depression, the leg support part and the limit mechanism are respectively located on both sides of the heel suspension groove, the leg support part is provided with an arc-shaped depression for fitting the leg, and the arc-shaped depression and the heel suspension groove are smooth Transitional connection, the connection between the arc-shaped concave part and the heel suspension groove is provided with a decompression mechanism for reducing the pressure on the ankle; the limit mechanism includes a resisting structure for resisting the sole of the foot and a sliding for resisting the structure structure against which the structure is equipped with drive means.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical care products, in particular to a foot pillow for preventing pressure injuries. Background technique [0002] Pressure injury is due to long-term pressure on local tissues, resulting in persistent ischemia, hypoxia, and malnutrition, resulting in tissue ulceration and necrosis. According to relevant literature reports, about 60,000 people die of pressure injury syndrome every year. Pressure injuries mostly occur at bony prominences without muscle wrap or thin muscle layer, lack of adipose tissue protection and often under pressure, such as occipital tuberosity, scapula, elbow, vertebral prominence, sacrum, heel and other parts. [0003] For patients with stroke, the elderly, and those with spinal cord injuries who need to stay in bed for a long time, due to blood circulation disorders, decreased sensory ability, etc., pressure injuries are very likely to occur when local tissues are compressed.
