Orthopedic Splint {SPLINT FOR ORTHOPEDICE}

The present invention relates to an orthopedic garment that supports the affected areas such as fractures and sprains, and more particularly, in the form of a skin contact layer and a mesh of polypropylene nonwoven fabric on a glass fiber or polyester support coated with a moisture curing resin. It relates to a splint using the outer layer.

In general, conventional orthopedic splints have been used for gypsum bandages and synthetic bandages for body fractures, muscle damage or sprains, and recently, fixing methods have been developed through various methods such as synthetic splints.

The structure of the splint is made of a hardened synthetic resin as a hardening material for easy use thereof, and the hardening material is applied to various fibers to be used as a support, and it can be encapsulated in a pad and treated at a time. It is a product.

The materials used in the orthopedic splint should be flexible to easily shape the curved area and maintain sufficient mechanical strength to prevent secondary injury.

In addition, while maintaining a uniform curing time during molding, the working time should be appropriate, and after the procedure should be well dried, there should be no secondary injury due to the erosion of the affected area.

In the case of the gypsum bandage, it has been used a lot as a splint material for a long time, the working time and curing time during the procedure is small and the disadvantages of heavy product, there is a disadvantage that has a low strength compared to the weight.

In order to compensate for this, splints made of glass fibers and polyester non-woven fabrics or polyester knitted fabrics, etc. have been developed by wrapping the shell on a support body coated with a hydrocurable resin.

When the splint is supplied in a packaged state, the package is unpacked in a hospital, and the splint is moistened with water to form a close contact with the affected part of the patient, and then the bandage is wrapped and fixed to cover the splint and the affected part. It was.

However, even in the above case, because the bandage is to be wound around the splint, the operation is difficult and inconvenient.

In addition, if the entire affected area, including the splint, is wrapped with a bandage, the affected area is sealed and is not ventilated, which is particularly uncomfortable for the patient due to sweat or the like, especially in summer.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned, it is an object of the present invention to provide an orthopedic splint with an improved structure so that it can be easily installed on the affected part, and the ventilation is possible while covering the affected part.

Here, the splint body includes a support layer coated with a hydrocurable resin on a support; A skin contact layer covering and covering one surface of the support layer; It is preferable to include; the outer cover layer covering the other surface of the support layer.

In addition, the fixing band, one end is connected to one side of the splint body, the other end wraps the affected part of the patient to have a first fastening portion to be connected to the other side of the splint body, the other side of the splint body It is good that a second fastening part is provided to which the first fastening part is connected.

In addition, the cover member, one end is connected to the other side of the splint body, and the other end has a third fastening portion connected to one side of the splint body wrapped around the exposed part of the patient, the splint One side of the body may be provided with a fourth fastening portion to which the third fastening portion is connected.

In addition, the second and fourth fastening portion is preferably formed integrally with the splint body.

In addition, the cover member may be formed with a plurality of through holes.

In addition, the cover member is preferably formed of a fiber material.

In addition, the cover member is preferably formed of a mesh material.

In addition, at least one of the fixing band and the cover member may be formed integrally with the skin layer or the skin contact layer.

In addition, the cover member is preferably detachably connected to the splint body.

The orthopedic splint according to the embodiment of the present invention has good workability because it can be easily fixed using a fixing band in a state in which the orthopedic splint is in close contact with the affected part of the patient.

Therefore, the operator can easily use alone, there is an advantage that easy to fix and detach.

In addition, by further providing a separate cover member, since the exposed portion not supported by the splint body can be covered and wrapped, the body can be exposed and the appearance of the affected part can be improved. In addition, since the through hole is formed in the cover member, the comfort caused by the ventilation of the affected part can be maintained.

In addition, the cover member has a structure that can be selectively detachably connected to the splint body, there is an advantage that can be selectively used according to the condition of the affected part or the preference of the patient.

Hereinafter, an orthopedic splint according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 and 2 is an orthopedic splint according to an embodiment of the present invention, in the orthopedic splint to support the wound around the splint, molded to correspond to the affected part to support the splint body (10) ), And a plurality of fixing bands 20 connected to the splint body 10 to fix the splint body 10 to the affected part of the patient, and other parts of the splint body 10 that are exposed by the splint body 10. The cover member 30 is connected to the splint body 10 so as to cover and cover the portion.

The splint body 10 has an inner support layer 11, an outer skin contact layer 13, and an outer skin layer 15. The support layer 11 will be described in detail later, but includes a support on which a hydraulic resin is applied. Herein, the support may be glass fiber, nonwoven fabric, polyester, or the like. The support layer 11 is in a flexible state in a packaged state, and when moisture is added, the support layer 11 is hardened to support the affected part of the patient while maintaining the molded state.

The skin contact layer 13 includes a hydrophobic polypropylene nonwoven fabric and prevents the hydrocurable resin from directly contacting the skin.

In addition, the outer skin layer 15 may be made to facilitate the penetration and extraction of water using a polyester double mesh knitted with a Raschel group.

The skin contact layer 13 uses a hydrophobic polypropylene nonwoven fabric produced through needle punching, and for example, a product having a weight of 100 to 400 g may be used.

By using a nonwoven fabric produced by needle punching, the skin can be softly touched and the affected part can be protected from the support layer 11.

In addition, the nonwoven fabric may use hydrophobicity to protect the water penetrating into the skin layer 15 from entering the skin.

In the case of the support layer 11 is used that the water-curable resin is applied to the support, and the support is used by overlapping 6 ~ 9 layers of 3 ~ 8g / in. M glass fiber fabric or polyester (Polyester) fiber fabric or 300 You may use -1000 g of polyester or polypropylene nonwoven fabric.

When the weight of the fiber or nonwoven fabric is small, the strength as a support cannot be maintained, and the higher the weight, the more difficult the molding, the heavy the product, and the poor breathability.

The hydraulic resin of the support layer 11 uses a polyurethane prepolymer, and when the viscosity is 25,000 to 60,000 cps and is higher than this, the resin is not completely applied to the support to lower the strength. This may lead to the flow of resin outward of the nonwoven fabric. This hydrocurable resin is suitable for a resin composed of about 10 to 15% NCO%. If the NCO% is higher than this, there is a risk of secondary injury due to the high exothermic temperature when reacting with water, and the viscosity of the resin may be lowered. In addition, if the NCO% is lower than this may reduce the storage stability during storage and the viscosity may be difficult to apply to the support.

In the case of the outer skin layer 15, the drying time of the moisture was shortened by using a double raschel fabric of a mesh form (20 to 1000 mesh) to facilitate the penetration of water and the extraction. The mesh type fabric uses double-layered double-lasel fabric.

Resin was prevented from flowing to the outer shell layer 15.

As shown in FIG. 3, the double-lasel fabric 15 (envelope layer) is woven with a mono yarn 15b embedded between two raschel fabrics 15a and 15c, which are mesh structures edited with a raschel machine. , The laselle fabric (15a, 15c) to maintain the flow of water and breathability, the mono yarn (15b) gives a gap to the laselle fabric (15a, 15c) yarn to prevent the flow of the resin and at the same time makes a smooth ventilation Had to lose. When the resin flows to the outer skin layer 15, the surface of the product may be roughened due to the resin after curing of the product, thereby damaging other skin parts.

When the mono yarn 15b is not present between the laselle fabrics 15a and 15c, the water-curable resin flows to the outer skin layer 15 so that the resin may get on the hands during the procedure.

In order to prevent the flow of the resin may be used to overlap a plurality of mesh-type fabric, it is preferable that the thickness of the mesh yarn is about 1000denier ~ 10,000denier.

As such, this has been solved by using the outer skin layer 15 in the form of a mesh, and thus, it is possible to resolve the crushing phenomenon of the affected part and the discomfort of the patient.

The fixing band 20 is provided with a plurality, one end is connected to either side based on the longitudinal direction of the splint body (10). The first fastening part 21 is provided at the other end of the fixing band 20, that is, the free end. The second fastening portion 22 corresponding to the first fastening portion 21 may be provided on the outer side of the splint body 10, that is, the outer surface of the outer skin layer 11. The second fastening portion 22 may be integrally formed with the outer skin layer 11, or may be separately provided to be fixed or adhered to the outer skin layer 15.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the splint body 10 is molded in close contact with the affected part 100 of the patient, and then the splint body 10 is connected to the affected part of the patient using the fixing band 20. It is stable and can be fixed easily.

In addition, the cover member 30 is connected to the other side of the fixing band 20 to fix the splint body 10 with the fixing band 20 to cover and cover the affected part exposed to the outside. For example, it may be provided with a material such as a bandage. And preferably, the cover member 30 is formed with a plurality of through-holes 31, so that the ventilation of the affected part is possible even in a state covering the affected part, it is possible to increase the comfort of the affected part.

One end of the cover member 30 is bonded to the outer skin layer 15, or is connected by stitching, the other end is provided with a third fastening portion 32, the splint body corresponding to the third fastening portion 32 The fourth fastening part 33 may be provided at 10.

Here, the cover member 30 covers the exposed portion of the annular portion 100 before fixing using the fixing band 20, the fixing band 20 wraps around the outside of the cover member 30 So that it can be fixed.

In addition, preferably, at least one of the fixing band 20 and the cover member 30 may be formed integrally with the outer skin layer 15.

In addition, as shown in Figure 5, the cover member 130 formed of a mesh material may be installed on the splint body (10). Even in this case, the cover member 130 may cover the affected part 100 while smoothly ventilating the affected part 100, thereby providing a comfortable and stable splint to the patient.
