The present invention relates to the field of medical products, and more specifically relates to a medical walking boot.
Medical walking boot is a fixation device for foot. Specifically, when a patient is suffered from bone fracture, joint dislocation, or foot sprain, a medical walking boot can be used to fix and protect the foot. Medical walking boot can also be used to rectify and cure a club foot. In order to adapt to toes of different sizes, an existing medical walking boot in the market, such as the one disclosed in CN219614151U (application No. 202320640546.8), will usually have an open front end which exposes user's toes. However, user's toes may then get hurt easily.
In view of the aforesaid disadvantage now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a medical walking boot. The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
A medical walking boot, comprising a boot body and a toes shield; the toes shield is removably connected with the boot body.
Further, the toes shield comprises at least one locking stud; the boot body comprises a plurality of locking holes arranged in at least one row where each row comprises more than one of said locking holes, and where each row is arranged linearly along a direction from a rear end of the boot body towards a front end of the boot body; said at least one locking stud is locked to at least one of said locking holes so that the toes shield is fixedly mounted to the boot body.
Further, left and right sides of the boot body are provided with inflating pumps respectively; an inflatable cushion is provided inside the boot body; the inflating pumps inflate the inflatable cushion.
Further, an air discharging valve is provided between each inflating pump and the inflatable cushion.
Further, strap buckles are provided on the boot body; a front strap is removably connected to and positioned between the strap buckles, and the strap buckles are fixed on the boot body; a rear strap is provided at a rear side of the boot body; a tightening device is provided between the boot body and each of two ends of the rear strap to loosen or tighten the rear strap.
Further, each tightening device comprises locking protrusions fixed to the boot body and a plurality of adjustment holes provided on a corresponding end of the two ends of the rear strap; by locking the locking protrusions to different adjustment holes, the rear strap can be loosen or tightened.
The present invention has the following beneficial effects: since the toes shield is removably connected with the boot body, a position of the toes shield relative to the boot body can be adjusted according to the needs of different users.
