A support for storing and fixing a patient (10) to be treated on a medical treatment station (1) with a lower element (2) which can be fixed on the treatment station (1) and which has two lateral parts (3) stabilizing the patient (10) longitudinally , and with a between the side parts (3) centrally arranged cushion element (6), wherein the cushion element (6) is provided with a means for heating the lying surface (7).
The invention relates to a support for storing and fixing a patient to be treated in a medical treatment center, with a lower, fixable on the treatment area element having two longitudinally stabilizing the patient side parts, and with a centrally located between the side panels upholstery element , The edition can be applied not only in human medicine, but also in veterinary medicine. The medical treatment station is therefore in particular an operating table, but for large animals it may also include a certain area at the bottom of the treatment room.
Such a support used in human medicine is known for example from WO 2008/034899 A1. By means of this support, which fixes the patient in a stable manner, the operating table can also be adjusted to an inclined position in order to ensure the most favorable position for the medical procedure.
The known edition is sufficient, but in particular has disadvantages when the automatic heat regulation of the patient is disturbed.
To overcome this disadvantage, the invention proposes that the cushion element is provided with a device for heating the lying surface. In this way a continuous or discontinuously adapted heat supply to the patient can be ensured during the entire treatment period. Any suitable type of heating, for example by electrical surface heating elements, by heat conduction and / or heat transfer via metallic foils or the like, and preferably by hot air, which laterally enters the upholstery element and exits from openings on the lying surface of the upholstery element may be associated with the upholstery element , As a source of hot air, a fan may be provided which is connected via a hose to the cushion member. The warming by means of hot air also leads to the fact that the patient can be stored dry.
The fixable on the treatment area element preferably comprises two evacuable side parts containing a granulate, in particular foamed polystyrene, and are connected via a middle, unfilled strip. As a material is particularly suitable a polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride film. The side parts are in particular divided by air-permeable inserts into chambers to ensure a uniform distribution of the granules. The side parts in the shoulder / neck support area are preferably provided with protruding or upstanding end pieces, which can be adapted to the shoulder / neck contour of the patient before evacuation and can be stabilized by means of additional slanted straps or the like.
An exhaust valve for both side parts is sufficient if the middle strip in the shoulder / neck support area contains a connection channel between the two side parts. The middle strip may be provided in a further preferred embodiment, at least partially with an anti-slip surface. For example, can be arranged on both sides of strips of non-slip rubber-like material, so that both the surface of the treatment station and the underside of the cushion member a temporary hold is given by frictional engagement until the patient is stored and fixed.
Hereinafter, the invention with reference to the figures of the accompanying drawings will be described in detail without being limited thereto.
1 is a schematic view of an operating table in two inclined positions, [0010] FIG. 2 is a schematic oblique view of the operating table like FIG. 1, [0011] FIG. 3 is a side stabilizing element in a bottom view, [0011] FIG. Fig. 4 shows the side stabilizing element in plan view, Fig. 5 shows the operating table support according to the invention in plan view, and Fig. 6 shows a detailed oblique view of a shoulder / neck area of the lateral stabilizing element.
An operating table 1 is, as shown in FIG. 1, not only with a horizontal table surface, but also in relatively steeply inclined positions for different treatments, for example, for minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures in use. It is understood that a patient 10 must be appropriately secured in the inclined positions. For this purpose, a pad is used according to the invention, which is constructed of two layers, which is shown in Fig. 5 in plan view.
The lower on the table 1 by means of conventional fasteners 9, such as straps or straps with buckles, etc., arranged and fixed element 2 has evacuatable, granules of polystyrene foam containing side parts 3 and an unfilled central connection strip 4. In the shoulder / neck support area end pieces 11 of the side parts 3 are free and are connected via obliquely oriented, adjustable connecting means 12, such as straps or the like with the central strip 4. The side parts 3 are adjusted before evacuation under normal pressure to the side contour of the patient 10, wherein the end pieces 11 can be pulled by means of the connecting means 12 in the transition from shoulder to neck inside. By sucking the air through a valve 14 shown in FIG. 6, the side parts 3 therefore also solidify in the shoulder / neck support area in the adapted form, so that the patient 10 is also stabilized in inclined positions of the operating table. This is shown schematically in FIG.
Fig. 3 shows the top of the element 2 in a flat arrangement, d. H. the two evacuable side parts 3 are not adapted. Between the side parts 3 and only consists of a film or the like and on both the underside (Fig. 4) and on the top slip-resistant strips 8, coatings or the like. In the neck support region of the element 2, the side parts 3 are connected by an air duct 5, so that both side parts 3 can be evacuated at the same time. Fastening elements 9 extending away from the underside (FIG. 4) serve to connect to the operating table 1 and to fix the patient 10, as can be seen in FIG.
The element 2, as shown in FIG. 5, a pad member 6, which is formed in particular by a heat and pressure relief mat, a side air inlet 13 and the lying surface 7 has a plurality of fine outlet openings for hot air. Such a heat and pressure relief mat is known for example from DE 10207793 A1. The lying surface 7 is preferably absorbent, so that the patient is also stored dry by dissipation of moisture. The upholstery element 6 lies loosely between the side parts 3 and is held on one side by the slip-resistant strips 8 provisionally on the element 2 until the patient 10 is placed, and then mitfixiert by means of the fastening elements 9 on the table 1.
For a veterinary treatment center, especially for horses and other large animals for which no operating table is available, the edition can be placed on the floor of the room. Also in these cases, both a safe stabilization of the anesthetized animal as well as a balancing heat supply to the bed are of fundamental importance.
First edition for storing and fixing a patient to be treated (10) on a medical treatment center (1), with a lower, on the treatment station (1) fixable element (2), the two patients (10) longitudinally stabilizing side parts (3 ), and with a between the side parts (3) centrally arranged cushion element (6), characterized in that the cushion element (6) is provided with a device for heating the lying surface (7).
Second edition according to claim 1, characterized in that the cushion element (6) has a lateral inlet opening for warm air and on the lying surface (7) has a plurality of outlet openings.
3. edition according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the side parts (3) are evacuated and contain granules, wherein between the side parts (3) a central strip (4) is provided without granules on which the cushion element (6) is arranged.
4. Edition according to claim 3, characterized in that the middle strip (4) in the shoulder / neck support area includes a connecting channel (5) between the two side parts (3).
5. Support according to claim 3 or 4, characterized in that the central strip (4) is at least partially provided with a slip-resistant surface.
6. Edition according to one of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that the side parts (3) in the shoulder / neck support area freely projecting end pieces (11) with additional connecting means (12).
7. Edition according to claim 6, characterized in that the additional connecting means (12) are oblique to the longitudinal direction, adjustable straps.
8. Edition according to one of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that the medical treatment station is an adjustable operating table (1).
