Description

External rib fixing device for flail chest field first aid

Technical Field

The utility model belongs to medical equipment, concretely relates to flail chest scene first aid rib external fixation device.

Background

Rib fractures and lung contusions are common chest wounds, and severe closed chest wounds easily cause multiple rib fractures, so that the local chest wall loses rib support to form a flail chest. Flail chest can cause instability and even collapse of the thoracic bone structure, abnormal respiration and mediastinal swing, aggravate lung injury, affect respiratory and circulatory functions, and possibly cause asphyxia in severe cases. Therefore, the first aid treatment of flail chest requires effective stabilization of chest wall, recovery of chest volume, pain relief, and finally improvement of ventilation and respiratory function recovery of the injured person in time. Although internal fixation has significant advantages in fracture reduction, pain relief, shortening of treatment cycle, etc., external fixation, which is relatively simple to operate, has become the first choice for trauma first aid due to the environmental limitations of on-site treatment.

Currently, there are three main ways for external fixation of flail chest: the three methods of steel wire needle suture, hand towel forceps traction and multi-head belt full chest wall belt cushion pressurization have some operation defects, however, the steel wire needle suture needs a certain sterile environment and easily damages intercostal blood vessels and lung tissues when the steel wire needle suture is sutured to the lower edge of the rib. The tissue forceps traction method has serious injury to soft tissues and muscle tissues and is easy to cause local infection. The multi-head belt full chest wall belt cushion pressurization method is convenient to operate, but limits breathing movement, reduces the volume of the chest cavity, and is not beneficial to the recovery of the breathing function of a patient. In addition, none of the above methods are suitable for implementation in first aid on site. Chinese patent CN107510498A discloses a locking compression chest wall external fixation device, which achieves the purpose of active fixation by inserting an expansion ball in the chest wall, pulling outward to jack up the softened and collapsed chest wall, and pressing outward on an external fixation plate, however, the expansion action of the expansion ball in the device reduces the volume of the chest cavity, and restricts the breathing of the patient.

The hole of the fixing plate is internally provided with an internal thread matched with the external thread of the screw, so that the screw can be conveniently fixed to avoid sliding.

The fixing ring is a C-shaped fixing ring, and the C-shaped fixing ring is buckled around the screw and is convenient to remove from the screw.

The height of the fixing ring is 4mm, so that the depth of screwing the screw into the rib can be controlled to be 4 mm.

The nut is sleeved on the screw, and the length of the screw screwed into the body is changed by rotating the nut so as to adapt to different chest wall thicknesses.

The fixing ring is made of plastic stainless steel or titanium alloy materials, so that the fixing ring can be conveniently buckled and removed on the screw.

The number of the screw caps and the number of the screws are the same, so that each screw cap matched with each screw cap is arranged on each screw.

More than one screw is fixed at both ends of the fixing plate to ensure firm fixation.

Has the advantages that: compared with the prior art, the utility model, its beneficial effect lies in: (1) the portable thoracic cavity fixator is convenient to carry, suitable for on-site treatment, simple and convenient to operate, and capable of rapidly fixing ribs and recovering the integrity of the thoracic wall; (2) the volume of the thoracic cavity can not be influenced, and the recovery of the respiratory function of the patient is facilitated.

Detailed Description

The invention is described in further detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the attached drawings.

As shown in fig. 1, the utility model discloses a fixed plate 1, nut 2, screw 3, solid fixed ring 4, the internal thread of nut 2 matches with screw 3's external screw thread, and evenly distributed has a plurality of holes on the fixed plate 1, and the downthehole external screw thread assorted internal thread with screw 3 that is equipped with of fixed plate 1, the set screw of being convenient for avoids its landing. The curvature of the fixing plate 1 is adjustable, and the curvature of the fixing plate 1 is adjusted to adapt to different chest wall curvatures. In this embodiment, the fixing plate 1 is made of a plastic stainless steel or titanium alloy material, so as to facilitate bending. The nut 2 is sleeved on the screw 3, and the length of the screw 3 screwed into the body is changed by rotating the nut 2 so as to adapt to different chest wall thicknesses. The fixing ring 4 is a C-shaped fixing ring which is buckled around the screw 3, so that the fixing ring can be conveniently removed from the screw 3. The height of the C-shaped fixing ring is 4mm, and the depth of the screw screwed into the rib is controlled to be 4 mm. The number of the screw caps 2 and the number of the screws 3 are the same, so that each screw cap is matched with each screw cap. More than one screw 3 is fixed at both ends of the fixing plate 1 to ensure firm fixation. The fixing plate 1, the screw cap 2, the screw 3 and the fixing ring 4 are all subjected to aseptic packaging for later use after strict disinfection and sterilization treatment.

When in use, the wounded chest wall is fully exposed, the skin of the fracture part of the wounded is disinfected by iodophor, and the sterilization device bag is disassembled according to the aseptic operation principle; then, the radian of the fixing plate 1 is adjusted according to the thoracic radian of the fracture part to be fit with the chest wall 5 as much as possible, in the embodiment, the radian of the fixing plate 1 is adjusted by using steel plate bending forceps; secondly, roughly estimating the thickness of the chest wall 5 of the wounded, rotating a nut 3 according to the thickness of the chest wall 5 to adjust the screwing-in length of a screw 2, placing a fixing plate 1 on the chest wall 5 to cross over the fracture broken end, placing the tip of the screw 2 above a corresponding hole of the fixing plate 1, as shown in figure 2, using a screwdriver to screw the screw 2 from the hole of the fixing plate 1 to the cortical surface of the rib 6 through the chest wall 5, sleeving a C-shaped fixing ring 4 on the screw 2, attaching the lower end of the fixing ring 4 to the upper end of the fixing plate 1, and screwing the nut 3 to attach the lower end of the nut 3 to the upper end of the C-shaped fixing ring; as shown in fig. 3, the C-shaped fixing ring 4 is removed, and the screw 2 is screwed into the rib 6 by the screwdriver until the nut 3 is attached to the arc-shaped plate 1, and fixed to the broken end of the rib 6 at one side, and the screw is fixed at the other side by the same method.
