The purpose is to provide.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a medical pad that is easy to store and manage when not in use.

(Structure of the Invention) A characteristic feature of the present invention that achieves the above-mentioned object is that an angle member made of foamed resin having a cross section of an isosceles triangle having a base of about 4a and a height of about a, And at least one wedge member made of foamed resin having a right-angled triangular cross section with a base of about 2a and a height of about a.

(Example) Hereinafter, the Example of this invention is described based on drawing. As shown in FIG. 1, the chevron-shaped member 1 of the adult medical pad is as follows.
The cross section has a base m of 40 cm, a height l of 10 cm, and a width m of 40.
It is an isosceles triangle of cm. As shown in FIG. 2, the wedge member 2 has a cross section with a base mm of 20 cm, a height ll of 10 cm, and a width.
It has a wedge shape with nn of 40 cm. The chevron-shaped member 1 and the wedge member 2 are made of a foamed resin obtained by foaming a mixture of urethane and silicon, and if desired, a breathable material, a breathable waterproof material,
Sweat-absorbent material such as cotton cover, waterproof cover, turf mat,
Cover with strong water-repellent smooth cloth.

In another embodiment, a medical pad for children, the cross section is
It is an isosceles triangle with a base of 36 cm, a height of 7.5 cm and a width of 36 cm. The wedge member has a wedge-shaped cross section with a base of 18 cm, a height of 7.5 cm, and a width of 36 cm.

The medical pad of the embodiment comprises, for example, one chevron member 1 and two wedge members 2, which are stored in combination as shown in FIG. 3, and one chevron member 1 and four wedge members 2 are also stored. It consists of the wedge member 2 and is combined and stored as shown in FIG. The chevron-shaped member 1 and the wedge member 2 are provided with irregularities on the surface, if desired, to facilitate the mutual engagement of the members.

(Usage) (1) Bed sores occur most frequently in the sacral region in the supine position, and wedge members 2 are inserted on both sides of this part to completely decompress this part to prevent and heal the bed sores. The same applies to thoracolumbar decubitus. Regarding the acromion of the acromion, as shown in FIG. 5, the wedge member 2 is inserted so that its ridge contacts the neck of the patient, and the acromion is decompressed.

In the lateral decubitus position, the chevron-shaped member 1 or the wedge member 2 is put in the knees and the knee joints or the ankle joints and the ankle joints to decompress between the bones,
Prevent bedsores.

The present invention can effectively perform medical treatment in the following usages in addition to the above usages.

(2) It is not only painful for the patient to keep the same posture, but it also causes degeneration and deterioration of muscle, skin, bone tissue and the like. As shown in FIG. 6, two wedge members can be placed side by side under the back and lower back of the patient on one side to place the patient in a semi-recumbent position.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, by inserting a pair of wedge members 2 and a combination of the mountain-shaped member 1 and the wedge member 2 into the flat side of the patient and below the waist, Can be completely lying down.

(3) Being asleep causes pulmonary edema, pulmonary ventilation, puffiness, etc. due to functional deterioration of each organ, for example, deterioration of lung function, resulting in pneumonia. In addition, it causes urinary tract infection and bone demineralization due to residual urine. Therefore, for the bedridden patient, as shown in FIG. 8, the bed is half-raised, the mountain-shaped member 1 is applied to the back of the patient's head, and the three wedge members 2 are put under the knees to maintain the awake state. In this case, inserting the wedge members 2 on both sides of the back makes it more stable.

(4) When a person with a severe physical disability rides on a wheelchair, by using it in the same manner as described in (3), the patient can be more stable and put on the wheelchair. Accidents that slip off due to sexual posture reflex can be effectively prevented.

(5) When a brain disorder such as stroke occurs, a flexion contracture pattern due to the primitive postural reflex appears. In order to prevent this, the chevron member 1 or the wedge member 2 is inserted between the knees of the patient in the supine position and below the knees.
