Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] This invention relates to a fixation belt used to fix the affected part of an upper rib fracture.More specifically, the fixation strength of the belt can be adjusted as appropriate depending on the symptoms. This relates to a belt for fixing the upper ribs.

[Conventional technology]

In the case of rib fractures, since the ribs move due to breathing, there has been no suitable treatment method to date, and appropriate methods have been taken to prevent the ribs from moving as much as possible depending on the patient's symptoms. In other words, fixation of the affected area of upper rib fractures is usually hindered by the upper limb girdle;
Because complete fixation cannot be expected due to respiratory movements in the thorax, the following methods are used to treat it.

Since the thorax itself is considered a cage,
External fixation is not performed with the expectation of fixation from the clavicle and upper and lower ribs.

In addition to the usual bandage fixation, a bandage is applied diagonally from the shoulder to the abdomen and back.

The movement of the upper ribs is restricted and fixed by fixing the entire circumference of the thorax below the axilla using an elastic bandage or bust band.

Use a cotton bandage or bleach and cardboard to wrap and secure in a figure-eight band from the shoulder to the ribcage.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

However, in the above case, it is fine when the patient is at rest, but when he moves, he is accompanied by strong pain. However, it is difficult to keep the bandage in place due to contact dermatitis, or in other words, a rash. Since the fixation is below the axilla, sufficient fixation cannot be expected for the affected area. However, if it is tightened too much, people will complain of difficulty breathing, and if it is loosened, it will slip, making it impossible to maintain a sufficiently fixed state. Another problem with fixation methods is that it is inconvenient because the patient cannot put it on or adjust the fixation force by himself or herself, and that it cannot be fixed to suit the condition of the upper thorax.

This invention was made in view of the actual state of the prior art, and its purpose is to provide a belt for fixing the upper rib cage that can be worn and adjusted by the patient himself, and that can be fixed to suit the condition of the upper rib cage. It's about doing.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the upper rib fixation belt according to this invention is composed of a fixation band that is wound around the ribcage and fixes the ribcage, and an auxiliary band that fixes the position of this fixation band. The fixed band is
A fixed part made of a non-stretchable cloth body with a female-side planar fastener on the surface, an elastic part provided continuously at both ends of this fixed part, and an end of the elastic part on the side opposite to the fixed part. a joint consisting of a non-stretchable fabric provided continuously in the section, each having a female sheet fastener on the front surface and a male sheet fastener at the end of one back surface, It is wrapped around the ribs in the upper part of the rib cage. In addition, the auxiliary band has an elastic part in part, and a male planar fastener on the back end of the fixing part made of a non-stretchable fabric at both ends, so that it can be worn on one shoulder. Then, the male side sheet fastener is joined to the female side sheet fastener of the fixing part and the sheet fastener of the joining part to fix the winding position of the fixing band.

[Effect]

Wrap the fixation band along the upper ribcage, and adjust the wrapping strength by adjusting the position where the female side fastener on the front side of the joint at one end of the fixation band is joined to the planar fastener on the back side of the joint at the other end. to immobilize the affected area. After that, put the auxiliary band on your shoulder, connect one male side fastener of the auxiliary band to the female side fastener of the fixed part on the back side, and connect the other fastener of the male side of the auxiliary band to the fixed part of the chest side. Connect to the female side planar fastener. At that time, the joining position is adjusted to define the position of the fixing band, and the band is fixed so that it is hung from the shoulder so that the fixed position does not shift to the lower side of the ribcage.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example of how this belt for fixing the upper ribs is worn, and FIG. 2 shows the back side of the fixing band 1 as a component thereof. According to this, the fixing band 1 includes a fixing part 2 made of a hardly stretchable cloth body, stretchable parts 3 and 4 made of a stretchable cloth body continuously provided on both sides of the fixing part 2, and a stretchable part 3. , 4, and joint parts 4 and 6 made of a hardly stretchable cloth body provided next to the joint parts 4 and 6. Female-side planar fasteners are provided on the surfaces (back sides in the figure) of the fixing portion 2 and the joint portions 5 and 6. The tip of one joint 5 splits into two,
Male planar fasteners 7 and 8 are provided on the back side (front side in the figure) of the tip. In this embodiment, the elastic parts 3 and 4 are mesh-shaped to prevent stuffiness.

FIG. 3 shows a developed view of the auxiliary band 15 viewed from the back side. According to this, the auxiliary band 15 includes a stretchable part 9 made of a stretchable cloth body, and fixed parts 10 and 1 made of a hardly stretchable cloth body continuing at both ends of the stretchable part 9.
1, and male side planar fasteners 12 and 13 are provided at the ends of fixing parts 10 and 11, respectively. Note that the stretchable portion 9 has a mesh shape.
These fixing bands 1 and auxiliary bands 15 constitute an upper rib fixing belt 16.

Upper rib fixation belt 1 configured in this way
6 is used as shown in FIG. That is, the fixation band 1 is wrapped around the upper part of the ribcage 14 with the recesses of the elastic parts 3 and 4 located in the armpit, and the male side fastener of the other fixation part 5 is wrapped around the female side fastener on the surface of one fixation part 6. Side fasteners 6, 7
and fix the upper rib cage, that is, the upper ribs. The strength of this fixing can be arbitrarily set depending on the fixing positions of the planar fasteners 6 and 7. After fixing in this way, put the auxiliary band 8 on your shoulder, fasten the male side fastener 13 of one of the fixing parts 11 to the female side fastener 13 on the surface of the fixing part 2 on the back side, and then put the auxiliary band 8 on your shoulder. The sheet fastener 12 of the other fixing part 10 is fastened to the female side fastener of either the chest side fixing part 6 or 5 while adjusting the pulling strength. Thereby, the position of the fixing band 1 on the thorax 14 is maintained without shifting.

When the ribcage 14 is fixed in this way, the fixation band 1 follows the movement of the ribs due to breathing through its elastic expansion and contraction action, making it possible to fix the affected area without interfering with the movement. This ensures that the fixation is secure. In addition, if the fixation strength is strong, it can be loosened, if it is loose, it can be strengthened, and the shoulder to which the retention band is applied can be selected as appropriate depending on the injured area and shoulder fatigue, reducing the burden on the patient. This makes it possible to maintain a sufficiently fixed state. This also increases the healing effect.

This fixation belt is easy to put on and can be used to fix the upper thorax according to the condition, so it can be used not only for fractures but also for bruises and contusions depending on the symptoms.

[Effect of idea]

As is clear from the above explanation, according to this invention in which the affected part of the upper rib is fixed using a fixation band and an auxiliary band, the fixation band can be joined at any position using a planar fastener. Because it has a tapered shape, patients can install and adjust it themselves, and the tightening strength can be freely selected.
It is possible to provide an upper rib fixation belt capable of fixing the upper rib cage in accordance with the condition of the upper rib cage.
